WEATHER HIGH:72 UOW:62 SATURDAY: CHANCE OF RAIN HIGH: 77 LOW: 62 PAGE 2 ■ A former car thief speaks about crime prevention. ■ SG Supreme Court Justice Tracy Carracedo resigns to run the campaign of an unnamed candidate for SG president. 70TH YEAR, ISSUE 29 THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ■ CORAL GABLES, FUL FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5,1993 3,437 ISouraUMFiaBooli JEFFREY M. BROOKS/Orapttc Art M ► HARASSMENT HEARING BRIEFS LAW LIBRARY STARTS EXPANSION The expansion of the University of Miami Law Library officially begins today, with the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for 4 p.m. Law school officials said the expansion, which is part of the University’s Master Plan, will take about two years to complete. The expansion consists of a four-story addition that will wrap around the building, according to Mary Doyle, dean of the Law School. “Generous contributions from Miami law firms, faculty contributions, alumni and friends,” are funding the project, which will cost nearly $11 million, Doyle said. Among those contributing are Riba Angler Daner, a class of '36 graduate who donated $2 million, and, Claude M. Olds Estate, which donated $1 milllion. Wes Daniels, law school librarian, explained that in addition to Valeria challenges UM grievance procedures Dean Ambler Moss’ role in harassment case Investigated BY LAURIE POWELL Hurricane Staff Writer Professor Jiri Valenta is challenging the University of Miami’s grievance procedures today in court. He wants to be represented by an external counsel which is not allowed in the first phase of the hearings investigating sexual harassment charges being brought up against him by another professor. The procedures state that the academic counsel present at the Professional Conduct Committee hearing must be chosen from full-time faculty members. Valenta wants his own lawyer to be able to represent him. Moss creating more book space, the renovated building will provide better seating facilities, 12 group study repre "The University has taken the position, of long standing, that academic counsel has to come from the University’s full-time faculty,” Paul Dee, University Counsel, said. "He is not entitled to what he is asking for.” The hearing was called after Valenta, director of UM’s Institute of Soviet and East European Studies, was accused of sexual harassment, abusive behavior and professional misconduct. Valenta is on a leave of absence in Prague Czechoslovakia. The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 9. Luis Glaser, executive vice president and provost, and leaders in the Faculty Senate are scheduled to testify on UM’s behalf today in court. Valenta’s lawyer, Kathleen Burgener, would not say whether Valenta plans to attend today’s court hearing or what his basis is for the lawsuit "I have no comment on the ongoing litigation,” said Burgener. If Valenta were to win in court, Dee said, “it would mean that our procedures that had been agreed upon by the administration and faculty members, would be determined to be faulty.” Vendulka Kubalkova, whose complaints brought Valenta’s actions to the surface, said that if Valenta won, a scary precedent would be set. “The University would lose control over its hiring procedures,” said Kubalkova. “It would undermine the autonomy of the whole process.” Valenta is also being investigated by the Faculty Senate, according to Chairman William Whelan. “The Faculty Senate does have a committee looking at the wider implications of the claims or allegations that have been made [against Mr. Valenta]... We would be derelict in our duty if we stood by and did nothing." Kubalkova and other people at GSIS have been complaining about Valenta in letters to Ambler Moss, the dean of the school, for several years, but nothing has been done until now, say the complainants. The University is now investigating Moss for neglect of duty and other allegations. “There were some allegations of improper handling [of affairs],” said Glaser. Glaser said the University will be talking to potential sources, including faculty, students and administrative staff, and researching documents and records to ascertain the facts. "We are looking at various administrative actions taken, or in some instances, not taken,” said Dee. According to Glaser, the University is investigating all of Kubalkova’s allegations against Moss, which are the neglect of duty regarding the history of sexual harassment complaints and the history of complaints regarding Valenta’s abuse of power, the mistreatment of those who complained, the handling of internal accounts at GSIS and Moss’ part in Valenta’s violation of University rules. In 1987, Gregory Gleason complained to Moss about Valenta’s misconduct. The same year, archaeology professor Edward Lipuma asked Moss to investigate complaints of sexual harassment by female students. "Moss replied he could not take action because the women did not file a formal complaint,” Lipuma said. "Lipuma and others did complain about the working conditions with Valenta, but never about sexual harassment,” Moss said. See page 2/ HEARING rooms and a sophisticated computer system. Among the 633 people expected to attend today’s ceremony are U.S. District Court Judge William Hoovler and former congressman Dante Fascell. FIRE IN DUMPSTER CAUSES EVACUATION Afire in the dumpster of Mahoney Residential College caused a 45-minute evacuation Wednesday night. Coral Gables fire department battalion commander Richard Wal-die said either charcoal or matches started the fire. He said smoke rose through the trash chute, causing minor damage to the fifth floor. Capt. Pablo Gonzalez said the sprinklers were not activated and the smoke damage was “very minor.” Diane Agustin, a resident of the first floor in Mahoney, was in her room when the fire alarm went off. "Through my window I heard the alarm go off on one the upper floors," Agustin said. “Then about two minutes later the alarm went off in the whole dorm. When we came back in, we could smell smoke.” Pearson Residential College residents were also evacuated from their rooms for 10 minutes. COLLEGE ENTREPRENEUR SEARCH BEGINS Ten students at two-year colleges and four-year universities are being sought to be a part of North Americars Collegiate Entrepreneur. The Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs meets at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City Mar. 4 to 7 to name the leader in business achievements. Winners will receive a Dell notebook computer from Michael Dell, who at 27 started a $1.4 billion Dell Computer Corporation from his dormroom at the University of Texas.

Story — page 5. ► PUBLIC SAFETY Stranger breaks computer code ► A CLOSER LOOK: EATING DISORDERS THE FIGHT TO BE THIN BY ANNETTE J. GALLAGHER Opinion Editor wo-thirds of American women suffer from eating disorder behavior. Ten percent of those will develop a clinically diagnosed eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia or compulsive overeating) requiring treatment, therapy and even hospitalization. These facts, from Janet Marples, director of the Eating Disorders unit at The Willough at Naples, reveal a shocking trend in the eating habits of American women. Marples said today one in 10 women have a problem with food, up from one in 100 just 10 years ago. Kim Fuller, a psychologist at the UM counseling center said the statistics for eating disorders at the University are close to the national averages, but are slightly higher because college-age women are the most likely to have eating disorders. "I would say that more than-two thirds of college women have some kind of problem with food,” Fuller said. According to Fuller, this is because eating disorders are stress or anxiety responses. Starting college is a major stressor. Fuller said, but disorders can develop anytime there is a major lifestyle change. Michelle, 22, a student at Barry University, began starving herself at age 10. “I had a horrible body image, Michelle said. “I was tall for my age and I felt like an ox, so I tried to be thin.” Michelle’s disorder became bulimia in college. "I never threw up, but I would binge on four pizzas and then exercise for hours to burn it off.” After going through therapy at The Willough at Naples, Michelle is finally comfortable with her body. She is 5 feet 7 inches tall and her weight extremes went from 110 pounds to 150 pounds. She now weighs about 135 pounds. In addition to her therapy at The Willough, Michelle attends meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous. She hasn’t had a binge in over three years. Marples said there is a difference between eating disorder behavior and an actual eating disorder. Most women who exhibit eating disorder behaviors do not develop a disorder, but the symptoms are the same, just not as extreme. Warning signs of anorexia and bulimia include secretive eating habits, peculiar food rituals, tension at meals, frequent desire to eat alone, spending large amounts of money on diet aids (including diuretics and laxatives), exercising beyond normal limits, and bloodshot or watery eyes, especially after being alone when purging could have occurred. Students discuss eating disorders BY LISA J. HURIASH Hurricane Staff Writer Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and compulsive eating were the subject of a film and discussion session attended by about 250 students on Wednesday. The eating disorders presentation, part of Awareness Week, was held in the Mahoney-Pearson classrooms. "Awareness Week is to help people feel less ashamed of eating disorders and be aware of treatment options,” Kim Fuller, a clinical psychologist at the UM Counseling Center, said. Fuller said college-age women have the highest incidence of eating disorders. Paula Levine, director of the Anorexia and Bulimia Resource Center, said one in 200 females has anorexia nervosa and one in 10 females suffers from bulimia. “These figures are appalling,” Levine said. "This is an epidemic. People need to work on body acceptance and inoculate themselves against [the images of] the media.” Levine said the “ideal” model is 5-10 and weighs 112 pounds. She said the average woman in America is 5-3 and 143 pounds. BY PAMELA WILFINGER .Newsbriefs Editor A computer hacker, who has yet to be identified, has used access codes from the University of Miami’s computer bank to attempt to extort money from the University of Pennsylvania. According to a report from Public Safety, the hacker using the alias “Stranger,” successfully gained access to some UM accounts and threatened to cause problems to Penn’s computers. Barry Miller, system manager at the Ungar Computer Center, said the UM accounts were used to gain access to Penn’s files. “This person could be making a local call. Then he begins hopping onto a network to reach the University of Pennsylvania,” Miller said. "He’s using our system just to get onto their’s.” The hacker sent messages via computer to Penn officials saying that he wanted $200 in cash or else he would cause “problems.” The specific nature of these threats is unknown. One of Miller’s responsibilities at UM is to spot-check over 300 accounts in the computer System. He reported the incident to Public Safety on Jan. 26 when he learned the unknown hacker had successfully accessed accounts carried by UM and used them to access lines at Penn. “One of the things that [computer hackers) do is take the password file and move it to another system,” Barry said. “Then they start working at figuring out the user’s password to cause trouble.” Public Safety Detective Todd Bleak said the hacker may be a bored, young man between the ages of 15 and 21. “Basically, he’s probably a high school student who’s very good with computers — the kind of kid who has nothing better to do in the afternoons,” Bleak said. “It seems like it's just a kid messing around because a serious extortionist would want thousands of dollars.” Students and staff can take a few precautions if they suspect someone is using their account with illegal intentions. “People need to choose a password that’s difficult for others to figure out, but also one they can remember,” Miller said. After learning of the hacker’s use of UM’s accounts, Miller said he ran a check on the current password list and found several students either used their names or the phrase “Go Canes.” UM has recently taken measures to change current access codes so the hacker won’t be able to continue using the accounts to harass Penn. “There have been a few incidents of this in the past but they have been very minor,” Miller said. “Because UM is a multi-user system, it is very difficult to write a virus into it. Usually, a student's personal computer doesn’t have the hardware protection that we have.” ► SAFAC Student activity fee funding deadline nears BY LISA J. HURIASH Hurricane Staff Writer Feb. 19 is the deadline to fill out Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee forms, SAFAC chairman Tim Hoffman announced in a meeting Wednesday. "The allocation keeps organizations running,” Hoffman said. “And we encourage fund raising so the organizations can make even more money.” SAFAC is holding a series of meetings to explain the funding process to organizations. Hoffman said each club that wants to receive SAFAC funding is required to send a representative to one of the meetings, which are being held Feb. 9 at 8 p.m., Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. and Feb. 11 at noon in the Lewis Room at the Rathskeller. Hoffman said club representa-tives will present their requests in person to the SAFAC board between Feb. 17 and March 31. The $65 activity fee that all undergraduates pay is divided up among school organizations by SAFAC, according to Hoffman. Only clubs open to the entire student body are eligible for funding. “We’re here [to get] funding (for] a trip to a national mock trial competition in Wisconsin,” sophomore Monica Aquino, representative for the Pre-legal society, said at a SAFAC meeting on Wednesday. "The competition is the core of our club and we are hoping to receive the money.” “i.
