Could Mideast crisis cause tuition increase?

The face-off with Iraq in the Middle East could hurt colleges in the United States, including the University of Miami, in a very vulnerable place: their finances.

About 300 members of the University of Miami community gathered in the University Center Flamingo Ballroom yesterday to kick off UM’a campaign to raise $350,000 for the United Way of Dade County.
UM Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William Butler, who has been involved with the United Way for 25 years, is heading up the cam-
D urged students to get involved.
‘‘Every year, 1,700 crack babies are bom at Jackson Memorial Hospital,” Foote said. “It’s a sickening tragedy, but it’s the truth. There are people in this community who need help, who desperately want our help, and we muat help them."
As part of his involvement in the campaign, Foote has agreed to participate in a “presidential s«ntch.” For half of one day, a student who ia
involved in the fundraising effort will get to trade places with the resident of the University.

SG senators discuss constitutional revisions
By JOANNA STAVROPOULOS
Stall Writer
Student Government leaders are to pass what they think will be a “new improved” constitution for their organisation.
Over the summer, several members of SG worked with the group’s adviser Dr. Craig Ullom and members of UM General Counsel to revise a document many believed to be
confusing and inconsistent.
“We wanted it to be clearer and more precise,” explained SG President Irwin Rati.
The proposed revisions were discussed at the SG Senate meeting Wednesday. After senators were given one week to peruse the document, the floor was opened for questiona.
SG Press Secretary Tom Higgins told the senate that there would be no major changes
to the original document, only clarifications. Senators discussed several of the pro-
keeping all SG meetings open to the student body. Some senators felt these changes were too broad.
One student who is not a member of SG was at the meeting Wednesday to voice his opposition to the proposed changes.
Dale Reed, a junior, distributed to the senators a hat of his objections which were sponsored by Stanford Residential College Senator Fred Green.
In the statement, Reed objected to the the proposals to give additional power to the election commissions chairperson and also to allow the University’s president to appoint a designee who would then have the power to delegate authority to SG.

Racist newspapers reappear
By MARY LEA HARDESTY 8taf( Writer
Pamphlets promoting white supremacy have been spotted again this semester on the University of Miami campus.
Newspapers and flyers from both the White Aryan Resistance (W.A.R) and the Church of the Creator have been seen around the campus as recently as last week.
Several copies of Racial Loyally, which updates readers of race-related newt, were found Sept. 7 in the Ibia cafeteria. The issue covered the “hoax of the Holocaust”
among other topics.
One of the articles on the front page described a murder of a 28-year-okl "blond and blue-eyed, white woman” who was “attacked, , beaten, tortured, mutilated,
_____and dismembered by a nigger
savage.” The paper focused solely on Crimea committed by “non-white” people.
Members of the Hillel Jewish Student Center say they are concerned about the W.A.R. movement.
Rabbi Louis Feldatein said the work of the Aryan Youth Move-
ment should not be ignored, but rather, should be taken seriously.
Feldstein said he believes a member of the resistance group came on campus to distribute the group’s information.
“We think that someone posed aa a student early in the morning and posted the advertisements,” Feldstein said.

UM Bookstore prices competitive?
Store director: We don’t try to compete with K-Mart
By MICHAEL R. MORRIS

Shopping at the University of Miami Bookstore may be convenient, but it may alao carry a high price.
In a comparison of the UM store, bookstores at Miami Dade Community College and Barry University, Office Depot and K-Mart, the UM bookstore proved to have the widest selection, but often times alao had the steepest prices.
Items surveyed ranged from batteries and marking pens to surge protectors. In no caae was the UM Bookstore cheaper. In some caaea, as much as $11.23 could have been saved by shopping elsewhere.
The UM Bookstore does offer a wide selection, carring several items that weren't available from other stores surveyed.
“I don’t try to compete «nth K-Mart or Office Depot,” said Charles Canfield, director of the UM Bookstore. Canfield laid he buy» from the »ame distrib-
utor* aa Miami-Dade and talks regularly with the directors of both the Miami-Dade and Barry bookstores.
“There may be tome difference in price if they’ve bought something on sale,” Canfield said. "But we try to keep the same pricea they do.”
Canfield explained that various suppliers, such aa DuraceU, occasionally have sales. Because these large companies don't forewarn buyers, consumable items like batteries and tapes may differ in price from bookstore to bookstore, even though both are served by the time supplier
Thus, a 4-pack of DuraceU AA batteries costa $4.95 at UM, while at Barn, it’s available for $3.69. A trip to Office Depot will yield the batteries at $2.72.
Office Depot, however, doesn’t offer much selection ting brands of merchandise. There’s a i for this, according to Canfield, i Depot can’t carry a wide lme and offer good pricea too,” he explained
