Miami Hurricane, November 09, 1971

              dnin on the field snapping pictures will point out even more the seriousness of the situation. As I was facing the crowd for some shots, someone threw a lime at me. It bounced about two feet in front of me and then it hit me on the knee.

Open Door Really Cares
By PAMELA HALLABECK and COLEEN JOYCE
Hurrlcsn* Rteort«n
"It’s no hassle . . . it’s students helping students," said Steve Kingsbury, a coordinator of UM’s Open Door.
Kingsbury, a second year graduate student in Clinical Psychology here at UM, describes the Open Door as different from the usual campus counseling service.
“We’re making an attempt to help students at hours which are convenient and to eliminate the hassles and paranoia of going to the Counselling Center."
The Open Door consists of
about five people answering phones in apartment 49K weeknights from 7 p.m. to 3 a m., armed with a variety of phone numbers, information, and the “willingness to listen,” according to Kingsbury.
“We have a staff of about 42 people and a large number of back-ups.”
Our primary function is to help people who are in trouble or lonely," he said.
Kingsbury said that he feels the Open Door is something this campus needs.
'it can serve a useful function; it’s my interest — that’s
why I put in my time," he said.
Kingsbury named loneliness, depression, pregnancy, draft counseling and “places to crash” as the most common problems among students.
"Infrequently we get a very serious problem of a psychological nature; if there’s danger to life and limb we call a hospital, otherwise we keep it confidential," he said.
He said that there is a professional psychologist on call at all times, but stressed the fact that the Open Door is totally confidential.
“Some people call to find where we’re at or to waste their time and ours," he said.
Kingsbury said there are about four or five prank calls per night and that the total number of students calling in has decreased since last year.
“I’d like to see some function for people not having problems so they could get acquainted with Open Door if they do have problems later," he said.
He said they plan to flood the campus with posters but the best publicity Open Door can get is "people who have had a satisfying experience here.”
“We need all the publicity we can get putting the emphasis on students helping students,” he said.
“The Open Door is the culmination of several efforts begun two years ago at the Student Union and In the dorms by students wishing to help other students,” said Kingsbury.
"All ideas were amalgamated with the counseling psychologists, and it was put up to the counseling students — I was interested,” he said.
He said sincerity, interest and the motivation to work are prime criteria for working at the Open Door.
Football Games Are A Threat To Community
(Hurricane photographer Bruce Barham ha* been a regular attendant of U.M concerts and Hurricane football games. In the following article he draws comparisons between the two).

I attended a University of Miami football game last Friday and witnessed and was exposed to a potentially dangerous situation.
As I walked into the Orange Bowl the crowd was screaming for blood and as the game progressed the more blood they got, the more they demanded. In the short time I was there, three football players limped or were carried off the field, unable to finish the contest.
I was horrified by the level of consumption of illegal alcoholic beverages. As I walked through the crowd following the first half, I had to slalom around the empty bottles, while dodging drunks who were rushing towards the concessions stands to buy more cokes for their Bacardi.
“Have we no respect for the law?” Was my thought as I saw the signs which said "The use of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited.”
n incident that occurred while 1 was
Relieved that the thrower was not a ballistics expert and being one who never passes up a piece of fresh fruit, I ate the lime while trying to think of solutions to this no longer potentially, but now violent, state of affairs.
I want t6 make it perfectly clear that although the students who attend these games let this situation get out of hand, it must be realized that only 5,000 student tickets (less than 30% of the Student Body) were sold and therefore we are outnumbered five to one at these games, it seems it is the large number of non-student outsiders who are causing the majority of our problems.
The solutions come easy, though.
•	Ban all football games in the Orange Bowl.
•	Appoint a Football Evaluation committee with Glen Lipnick as Chairman.
•	Schedule all football games on a game to game basis at various safe stadii across the county with shuttle bus service provided for the student body.
•	Limit the sale of tickets to students only.
•	Acquire the assistance of the Hurricane in stressing the importance of student help and control of alcohol abuse.
•	And finally, to cut down on the violence and injuries, non-contact, touch football should be instituted.

“It’s really a great pet,” one of the girls said, “no smell, no mess, and you only feed it once a week. And best of all once they get to know you they just love to crawl all over your arms and neck, they’re really quite friendly.”
The girls feel that Maggie wouldn’t come out even if she could. They think that Maggie has found a mate in one of the pipes of their air conditioner. No one would want to break up a relationship like that.
Both freshmen said that they had no one with whom to associate. They said that they were looking for friendly people, because they could not find any friendly people on campus.
Transfer students in the group felt that the atmosphere at UM was different than that expressed by the freshmen.
“I think it’s friendlier than most of the northern schools,” one transfer male said.
Another transfer student, a female, said she thinks the students are closer and

Two UM coeds are presently harboring an illegal visitor in their residence hall room. Nothing really unusual, except that the visitor is living in their air conditioning vent, and happens to be a six-foot boa constrictor.

The snake, whose name is Maggie May, isn’t dangerous,” one of the coeds said. “We feed her one mouse every two weeks and she is totally content.”
“We tried feeding her school food, but she totally refused it,” one of the girls said.
“Maggie usually comes out each morning around six or seven just to say hello, and then returns to her air conditioner home.”
The only other time the two coeds see her is when they play Issac Hayes, then Maggie will pop out again.
Maggie has been living in the coeds air conditioner since October 26 when she escaped from the laundry bag they were transporting her in.
They don’t think she can go anywhere else, but just to make sure they have their windows open to let the warm air in, which all snakes like.
“She isn’t dangerous, snakes are docile animals, and attack only when provoked, and then it’s only to scare,” the coed said.

Final decision* on requests made by student publications, to insure their survival, will be forthcoming, as SAFAC (Student Activity Fee Allocations Committee) took no action at its meeting on Friday, November 5, 1971.
Student publications went before SAFAC requesting more money for operating expenses. Already Ibis is forced to eliminate color photography for the first time in fifteen years, and the Hurricane and Truck may have to suspend publication early in the second semester because of a rise in priting and other costs.
The motion for the request of $8,000 by the Hurricane was defeated at the meeting, However, final action has not yet been taken on the request. The request of $6,250 by WVUM, the campus radio station, was not acted upon.
Selection of a student member to sit on the committee as a representative of a minority group was discussed. At the meeting, the candidate list was narrowed down as the final seating decision draws near.
Also at Friday’s meeting, SAFAC voted to place $7,000 into a contingency fund to provide for overexpenditures in this year’s budget.

that there are no dances. Why I’m sure that students
will enjoy the concerts better if they were able to dance instead of just sitting down,” one girl said.
The group began a long discussion on the subject of concerts. Most felt that the reason for violence and the big drug problem was that the students had nothing to do while at the concert. They said that things would probably be a lot safer if the students could get involved by dancing.
One of the major grievances of the students was the communication gap between the students and the Student Body Government. The group felt that the SBG was not fully representing them because the SBG did not know what the Student Body really wanted.

The communications gap on the UM campus between students and Administration may be closing some as a result of a series of “rap” sessions conducted by Dr. Nicholas Gennett, dean of students.
Dr. Gennett, talked with students at 960 Dorm Thursday night, hearing their grievances about college life on the UM campus.
In a relaxed and unacademic atmosphere, a few of the freshman men gave their impression of the campus life.
friendlier than the students she met at another school.
One of the freshman students said that when he first came to UM, he was met by and treafed very kindly by the students in SOS. The student also said that he was given an SOS advisor, who helped him tremendously with making out a schedule. However, he said that after intake and registration were over, he never saw his advisor again.
The transfer girl disagreed and said that she and her advisor still speak and see each other. She said that the students must put forth more of an effort if they plan to make friends.
“I am disgusted with the attitude of the people on this campus. Everyone is on an ego trip, everybody is competing with each other,” one male said.
Another male student said that it was a “play boy” school. He said everyone had to compete socially.
The majority of the students then complained about the activities sponsored on campus. They all agreed that there were not enough activities being sponsored, especially dances.
“There are no dances on this campus. I can’t believe
