ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST CALLS FOR CHANGES
Environmental activist Lou Gold told UM students and faculty about the importance of preserving the Great Forests of the Pacific Northwest spoke during a presentation Monday night.
Claiming that one-half of the natural forests had been cut down in the last 40 years. Gold, who lives on Bald Mountain in Oregon, told the nearly 200 present that current logging activities are a serious threat to the "delicate web of life” that exists in the forests. Explaining that he had in the past been a carpenter, he told the audience that he was not opposed to logging, rather that he wanted to see logging done in the right way in the right places.
Wielding a hand-made walking stick as he spoke, Gold said that preserving the environment created one kind of economy and that our current practices created another.
The lecture was sponsored by EarthAlert, The Rainforest Action Network, Student Government, the Biology Club and the Division of Student Affairs.

HARASSMENT HEARING
Lawyer delays subpoena for personnel records
Files requested as part of defamation suit against Kubalkova
BY LAURIE POWELL
Hurricane Staff Writer
An effort to force UM President Edward T. Foote II to turn over Professor Vendulka Kubalkova’s personnel records as part of a defamation suit filed against her by Professor Jiri Valenta has been delayed.
Harley Tropin, Kubalkova’s University-sponsored attorney, motioned for a protective order, claiming that production of the records violates Kubalkova’s privacy.
On Tuesday, Foote was scheduled to hand over Kubalkova’s records relating to her academic performance, faculty reviews, student evaluations and complaints made against her.
Both professors are from the Graduate School of International Studies. Valenta alleges Kubalkova made defamatory statements about his fitness as a faculty member after she charged him with sexual harassment and abuse of power.
In the protective order, Tropin also states that the request for the records is intended only to harass and annoy Kubalkova.
Tropin further claims that Kubalkova’s personnel file has nothing to do with whether or not Kubalkova made false statements about Valenta.
The court will determine later this month whether the protective order will be granted.
Other documentation scheduled to be handed over Tuesday was Valenta’s entire personnel file, including letters, complaints and written notices pertaining to his conduct, character, professionalism and teaching abilities.
In the Feb. 5 issue of The Miami Hurricane, Craig Simon, a former GSIS student, stated that Valenta’s personality was the most significant problem at GSIS, and he wrote letters to that effect.
Dean Ambler Moss said that he received letters opposing Simon’s point of view.
In a letter to The Miami Hurricane dated Feb. 8 of this year, Simon wrote that some of the letters supporting Valenta were written
under duress. He said he knew of at least three students who claimed they were forced by Valenta to write letters of support after various complaints were made against the professor.
Simon said he thinks those students felt vulnerable to Valenta because he could manipulate their grades, hurt their careers and other parts of their lives.
UM has begun termination procedures against Valenta as a result of Kubalkova’s and several others’ charges. A Faculty Senate Hearing Committee will be selected by mid-March to decide whether or not to fire Valenta for sexual harassment, abuse of power and professional misconduct.

► A CLOSER LOOK: THE JOB MARKET
Students are forced to explore many options in today’s competitive job market.
BY MARIBEL PEREZ
Hurricane Staff Writer
Remember back in grade school when teachers preached that the key to getting a successful job was a college education?
Well, it may help, but it is certainly not the key anymore.
Despite having earned bachelor’s degrees, recent graduates have had a tough time finding the jobs they expected.
Jose Candelaria, a 1990 UM graduate with a bachelor’s in marketing, said the economy greatly affected his prospects after graduation.
“It took me approximately two years to get the job I wanted,” Candelaria said. “The salary is not what I expected.”
He is now a marketing representative for the PCA/Century insurance companies.
“The economy has made me think and act differently. I had to take a job because there was nothing else,” Candelaria said.

“There are jobs out there. They may not be dream jobs, but earning experience and making contacts within your field are what’s important at first,” Spencer said.
Most University graduates agree that the state of the economy has played a major role in shrinking the post-graduate job market.

EarthAlert denied seat in Senate
BY JA80N ZDANOWICZ
Hurricane Staff Writer
An attempt by EarthAlert to gain a seat on the Student Government Senate was denied Wednesday.
The amendment to the SG constitution, authored by Commuter South Senator Paul David Diaz, would have created a new organizational Senate seat for the environmental action group. A vote of 13 against, 10 in favor, and one abstention failed to give the amendment the required two-thirds approval.
The Senate called for a vote after hearing from only one speaker, Jens Brewer, EarthAlert’s president.
“I had never thought of having a position on the Senate but when Senator Diaz brought it to us and we discussed it, we thought it was a good idea," Brewer told the Senators. "The Senate can help us in implementing some of the programs that we wish to see here on campus.”
“They called [the amendment] to See page 218EN ATE

Five tickets run for office

ippy that lot of interest in Student Government,” said Steve Cohen, Speaker of the SG Senate. “Obviously people feel that changes need to be made. It’s good that people want to get involved.”
"I don’t anticipate any problems [with the upcoming election],” Quanda Kimbrough, acting elections commission chairperson, said. "I hope everybody is going to run a smooth-flowing campaign.”

Campus restoration nears completion
BY USA J. HURIASH
Hurricane Staff Writer Six months after Hurricane Andrew caused $13 million worth of damage to UM, Victor Atherton, assistant vice-president ol Facilities Administration, said the renovation is almost finished.
"We have completed 80 percent of the roofing reconstruction in the housing area and we have completed 95 percent of the campus window renovation,” Atherton said.
Atherton said $4 million has already been spent on work completed for campus facilities. He said UM will spend an additional $1 million to finish the facility work, most of which has been contracted, but not completed.
Work has not yet started on the docks at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and curbs in the Memorial Building parking area.
"The docks for RSMAS need specialized contracts,” Atherton said. “We’re in the process of seeking out vendors.”
In addition to these damages, Atherton said another $1.1 million in trees was lost.
“We project to develop a master landscaping plan in 30 to 60 days,” Atherton said. “Everything but the trees will be back in place by summer vacation.”
“We are in the process of contracting a landscape architect,” President Edward T. Foote II said. “This spring, we will begin some serious planting and we will have replanted completely by the fall of 1994.
“The rebuilding has been a tremendous success,” Foote said. “I’m proud of everyone who was involved in the cleanup. It was a herculean effort.”
“Considering the damage that was apparent right after tne hurricane, they have done a remarkable job in cleaning up the debris,” Jodi Star, senior, said. "In September, the campus looked horrible.
Some students say that the rebuilding and tree damage was not the only effect of the hurricane that people experienced and are now coping with. While UM crews are finishing up the rebuilding, some students are re-adjusting to the traditional academic calendar.
