Students Polled Weekly By ’

Today we introduce to the Hurricane a new feature which we hope you will find interesting and informative. Each week we will poll 100 UM students on controversial questions. Although we will be mainly concerned with the national political arena and important UM issues, we will occasionally change our format to include any type of question which is timely.
If you have any questions you would like to have asked or any ideas for this poll please stop by the Hurricane Office on the second floor of the Student Union. You can also write to POLL, Bo* 8132, University of Miami.
We shall also be running a question each week which will add a humorous touch to this poll. We think that there will be some really funny questions and hopefully some funny answers.
This is how it went this week:
Do you have any objections to a female Supreme Court Justice?
YES	NO	UNDECIDED
36%	58%	6%
During the last two weeks, two seats on the U.S. Supreme Court have become vacant. There has been some speculation that a woman would fill one of those seats. We wanted to see if UM students approved of
such a move.
Over a third of all UM students had some objection. Although most of these people were men, several women also found fault with their own sex.
“I'm a woman and we’re just too emotional,” said one coed.
The question of emotional stability was the objection most students had. However, one man (male chauvinist pig?) expressed the opinion that women were “just inferior” to men.
Of the 58% who had no objection to a woman on the Supreme Court, most felt that women were the equal of men. However, many added that a woman should not be put on the court just because of her sex. There was one coed who thought of a new insight to the question.
"Of course I have no objection but I think Nixon is

just going to get a token woman,” she said.
Do you approve of SBG executive officers (president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer) receiving any financial renumeration without having to demonstrate financial need?
YES
20%
NO
76%
UNDECIDED
4%
This was the question SBG refused to put on the October ballot for a referendum. Our results are a good indication of why SBG took their course.
The key to this question was the "financial need” stipulation. In other words, should these officers receive a stipend if they can afford to pay for tuition with their own finances?
Many reasons were given by the 78% who gave a negative response. Most felt that the money could be used for better purposes.
"No, because they volunteered for the job. They knew what they were going to receive as a stipend,” said one student. His opinion was shared by a number of the people we polled.
The reasoning that the amount of work SBC1 officer* must do warrants the stipend was the most expressed opinion by the 20% who responded affirmatively-
Would you buy a used car from this man?


YES
2%
NO
96%
UNDECIDED
2%
TJM Security Director Doerncr
... 'he has sneaky eyes'
That’s right. Only 2% of UM students trust our Chief of Security, Fred Doerner with their used car.
When we showed this picture to 100 UM students, we didn’t tell them who it was of. We just asked them to judge the man by his picture. Only five students recognized Doerner.
Most people thought the man in our picture was too angry looking to buy a car from. However, the best comment came from a UM junior.
"No, I wouldn’t buy a used car from him. He has sneaky eyes,” he said.

Student Discount Cards, planned 10 months ago as a Student Body Government service to students, has developed into a mystery of missing money and lost records.
Last year, UM students were offered a “great” new deal whereby they could shop at discount prices at local stores.
The people involved directly were Mark Krasnow, expresident of SBG, Bob Drake, ex-treasurer of SBG, Larry Land, the student whose idea it was, and William Sheeder, the director of student activities and the Whitten Memorial Union.
Land was introduced by Krasnow at an SBG meeting last December. Krasnow said that the Student Discount Cards would be sold to students on and off campus as a student service and possible profit for SBG.
The money made by SBG would go to pay commission of student sales personnel, the clerk for the SBG checkcashing service, and the remainder would be left for 71’s SBG budget.
According to Sheeder, there is only $1.00 recorded In the SBG account under the Student Dimcount Card ven-
ture.
Krasnow said there was a logical reason for the find of only one dollar profit.
“Drake was taking money that came in,” Krasnow said, "and spending it as cash for legitimate SBG expenditures, and receipting it.”
No records were kept by SBG, according to Krasnow, because he thought Drake thought Land or Krasnow was keeping them. Land thought Drake or Krasnow was keeping them, and they all thought Sheeder would have records.
According to Sheeder, the

“Any girl may enter the queen contest as an independent or as a member of a sponsoring group. No group may enter more than 5 contestants. All entrants must be a full time undergraduates in good standing,” Hartman said.
“Impact ’71 "T-shirts go
on sale Wednesday, September 29, for a dollar. They symbolize that man has the world in his grasp and the ability to control his environment,” George Toomigian, publicity chairman for Homecoming said.
“They will help defray the cost of the free B. B. King concert, Sunday, October 31,” Toomigian added.
Tapping ceremonies will be held Tuesday morning, October 26, for the Order of Qpiega, an honorary society for those who have rendered outstanding service to their fraternity and University. The order was born at UM in 1959, and has chapters nationally.
ODK, the highest honorary society for leadership and scholarship at UM, will kick off the activities October 26

‘iVo records were kept by SBL, according to Krasnow, because he thought Drake uas keeping them. Drake thought Land or Krasnow was keeping them. 1.and thought Drake or Krasnow was keeping them, and they all thought Sheeder would have records'
only way he could have any records would be if money had been deposited into the SBG account.
He said that the spending of profits from one area (Student Discount Cards) into another area (paying the salary of a check-cashing girl) is not the usual or appropriate way to handle money.
“If a University official did that," Sheeder said, “I expect he would be terminated immediately.”
The depositing of money into an account, he said, is a protection for everybody concerned.
“They had no authorization to do anything in con-f i i c t with that policy,” Sheeder said.
Drake however, disagrees with Krasnow’s conclusion as to the lack of records.
“It was Mark’s program,” Drake said, “and he was the one who should have been running It, Including the
keeping of records.”
Land disagrees with both
of them. He said he kept records in his "little black book" of his money returns, but unfortunately he lost this account.
"I gave all the money to Drake,” Land said, “and told him of the expenses. I thought he was going to take care of it.”
According to Krasnow, Drake and Land approached him with the idea and he was in favor of it from the start.
According to Drake, Krasnow and Land approached him with the idea and he, along with Don Spurlock, ex-Vice President of SBG, advised Krasnow not to do it.
According to Land, he approached Drake with the idea and Drake who was “very much so in favor of the idea” took him to Krasnow.
According to Spurlock, he was approached last, and he opposed the Idea.
"I saw it was a rip-off," Spurlock said, "There were
too many cards for anyone to keep track of."
Lack of records has caused uncertainty as to if there was a profit or not, according to a past SBG senator.
“They lost money,” Drake said.
“I think we pretty well broken even,” Krasnow said.

"I made Land said.
“I’ve got to put the blame on the right guy . . . Krasnow,” Spurlock said.
Krasnow publicly said he would pay the difference out of his own pocket if SBG didn’t break even on the cards.
He also promised that he’d have records prepared for the Hurricane and students by August 1, 1971. So far, neither has been done.
“Who is to blame?" one SBG senator said, “That’s what's so funny about this thing. Everyone. They all knew what they were doing, and believe me . . . they did it well."
Phillips Requests Moratorium

(see page 4 for editorial)
Coral Gables Mayor W. Keith Phillips has requested a moratorium on the construction of all new UM buildings until the campus parking problem is alleviated.
Phillips' request to the city commissioners could stop construction of four buildings now being planned this year by UM. They would include the addition to the Law School, the concert hall, the continuing education center, and the long awaited Rathsk-ellar addition to the Student Union.
Phillips wants the commissioners to prohibit the actual construction of these buildings until UM can show that there will be adequate parking for these facilities.
Phillips charged that complaints have been received from residents of San Amaro Drive and Campo Sano Drive whose lawns are being used by students for parking.
The Hurricane learned ttiat 114 tickets have been issued by Coral Gables police since the beginning of the semester to illegally parked cars on that section of San Amaro Drive which borders UM.
The number of these tickets issued for violations on the residential side of that street, however, could not be established. It is also illegal to park on the UM side of San Amaro.
Phillips also scolded UM for allowing freshmen to park on campus.
UM Vice President for Financial Affairs Eugene E. Cohens said that such action by the commissioners would “cause serious difficulties in the near future.”
Cohen asserted that there were adequate parking spaces on campus for students who now exist.
UM administrators will meet with city officials next Tuesday to discuss the situa-
tion. They will also discuss UM’s master development plan.
Student Body Government Vice-President Sami Burstyn charged Wednesday that Phillips was trying to alienate UM students by his action.
"First he (Phillips) tried to stop the University from getting a license for the Rathsk-eliar. Now this. He knows that the students are not going to vote for him. He's just trying to polarize students and the community to get the older vote out,” he said.
Phillips could not be reached to comment on Burs-tyn’s charges.
The controversy with Coral Gables comes just One week after SBG called upon students to disregard parking regulations on campus because of the parking situation. The SBG resolution, however, didn’t ask students to violate rules enforced by the city.
The reaction of most students to Phillips' request was heated.
“He’s just trying to stop us from having the Rathskel-lar,” said one coed.
Two Coeds Robbed
By KINGSLEY RUSH
Of Th« Hurriean« Staff
Two UM coeds were robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night in front of the married students’ apartment building 16.
Lori Lash, a freshman, and Catht Reiner, a sophomore, were robbed of their purses by three "young black males.” The men escaped with $15 In cash and all of the girl's identification cards.
The incident occurred around 11:30 while Miss Reiner was making a phone call from a pay booth in front of building 16. Miss Lash was standing by the booth waiting for her friend when the three men approached. The men started a conversation with the girl and left.
They came back a second time and again talked to the waiting coed.
The third time the men approached the girls, one of them pulled a short-barrel, 38 caliber pistol. Miss Lash said one man told the girls to give up their purses.
The girls dropped their purses on the ground and the men picked them up.
At this point the girls began to scream. The three men fled by running across the intramural field.
“At first we were too shocked to do anything. When we realized they were taking all of our things, we started screaming,” Miss Lash said.
UM campus security and Coral Gables police are presently working on the case. They suspect the men are non-students.
Miss Lash said a funny thing did come out of the experience.
“When they pulled the gun, Cathi was still on the phone. She told the girl she was talking with to "Hold on a second. We’re being mugged.”
