“Se Habia Espanol,” a common sign In bilingual Miami, is one sign you won’t find in UM's Medical Library.
And If you’re an employee or student assistant caught speaking Spanish with another employee, you could face a severe reprimand or as many employees fear, risk losing your Job.
Suoh is the “International Policy” outlined by library Director Mrs. Mildred Lang-ner — a policy she says is essential to discourage the use of any language in the library except English.
"I believe in our being an international library,” Mrs. Langner told the Hurricane. "The native language of many of our employees is Spanish and because they are prominent part of our staff we require they must speak English during working hours.”
The policy, Mrs. Langner said, further prohibits the use of Chinese, Russian, German and other foreign languages by employees in the library. However, under certain conditions employees are allowed to aid students in their native language provided it is the only way to communicate.
"This ‘International Policy’ best serves our international image,” Mrs. Langner explained. "We direct our Spanish employees not to speak Spanish with each other.”
Spurred by the policy, the UM Federation of Cuban Students in their publication “Antorcha," lashed out against the policy saying in effect it restricts internationalism rather than promoting it.
Federation members spoke with several Spanish-speaking employees and student assistants who said they had been told that if they were heard speaking Spanish among themselves, they would lose their jobs.
“Nonsense," said Mr*. Langner. “We have never had to fire an employee on these grounds. If they are speaking Spanish though we speak to them and try reprimanding.”
Further, in a letter to Federation board member Juan C. Rodriguez,' Mrs. Langner stated: “Staff members proficient in the foreign language of a library patron who cannot speak English are directed to converse in the specific language with the patron, but they are not to use that foreign language with other members of the library staff.”
The Hurricane, speaking with directors of other campus student facilities, found that nowhere Is Spanish prohibited from being spoken among students or employees.
“I find myself talking in Spanish to my fellow workers in a very low voice and always turning my head to see if the gestapo is coming,” said one student assistant who asked not to be identified. "I believe people who speak a foreign language have the right to communicate among themselves in the easiest possible way — be it in English or Spanish.”
Other employees interviewed by the Hurricane said they heard the “International Policy” was being instated this semester because of complaints from doctors who allegedly were annoyed that employees were speaking Spanish.
Mrs. Langner said the policy has been in effect loosely since 1955 when she began working in the library, but it wasn’t actually enforced until this year.
"You have to keep in mind that the library serves an international clientele with students from different parts of the world, Mrs. Langner said, “however, English is the only Official language."

For the first time in several years explicit regulations have been set forth to supplement book buying policies defined in the Faculty Manual.
In a memorandum dated October 13 from Vice President for Academic Affairs Carl McKenry to all deans, directors, chairmen and faculty, the new book buying policies, based upon an investigation by the Hurricane and recommendation from Bookstore Manager George Mitchell, are clearly out--------------------- lined.
By SCHUYLER
O) Th« Hurriesn# Stitt
The memorandum reads, “A significant number of instances have been brought to my attention quite forcefully wherein the ordering and use of textbooks and other class materials have been adverse to the students and to the University
“While the overwhelming number of faculty have been and remain prudent in these matters (ordering of textbooks and supplies), the instances noted fully warrant the establishment of these regulations. These are not an intrusion upon the rights of faculty to stipulate their needs: they are to protect the students and the University from the negligent and careless action.”
Since the release of the Hurricane investigation into the book buying practices of UM, action has been taken to correct the situation.
“We have gotten very good cooperation in the past two weeks from the faculty,” text book Manager Tom Wilson said. “We will be sending out a letter once a month to the various University departments stating any changes in policy or changes in procedure and general information about the Bookstore ”
The Hurricane has received assurances from university deans that infractions in their colleges would be corrected. One department began refunding money to students in cases of book changes which may have cost the students to lose half the price of a text book.
The new book buying policy deals almost directly with the infractions discovered in the investigation, and goes a long way in an attempt to correct the situation.
Here is a summary of the new book buying policies:
•	When there are both hardback and paperback editions of the same textbook and the editions are identical in context, the mix of the number of hardbacks and paperbacks will be subject to review by the Bookstore
•	In those cases where a faculty member has a direct or indirect financial interest in the sale of a book and material, either as a publisher or printer himself or by a press or publisher in which he has an interest, the selling price of the book will be evaluated by the Bookstore
•	In no instance will faculty distribute books or class materials to the students in the classroom for which monies are collected by the faculty
•	A deadline date beyond which the Bookstore will not accept additional orders for books for the forthcoming semester will be clearly established, announced and ah-dered to
•	Books and or materials ordered for class use through the Bookstore must be used
•	Under normal circumstances, a text should remain in use a minimum of two years, except in the case of special justification
•	A change in instructor subsequent to the ordering of texts docs not normally justify a change of text
•	In cases where there are a large number of sections for a course, each taught by a part time instructor or a graduate assistant, these individuals should not be permitted to order texts specifically for their section
The policy further requests faculty members to be precise, early and conscientious when ordering and assigning textbooks and classroom materials.
The memorandum slates the students should not be obliged to buy too many or over priced class materials, nor should the Bookstore, whose profits go to amortize the Student Union (pay for the Union mortgage), be compelled to take annual losses <4i its book sales.

The Esalen Institute Florida Conference sponsored by the UM Department of Continuing Education will take place at the Sheraton Four Ambassadors in Miami on November 17-19.
The Esalen Institute Is a center to explore those trends in the behavioral sciences, religion and philosophy which emphasize the potentialities and values of human existence.
Student Body Government (SBG) has recently been under attack by some SBG senators who claim that SBG does nothing.
Earlier this year, SBG President Sami Burstyn told a Hurricane reporter that SBG is planning activities. In addition to solving campus problems. To date, a dermatology clinic has been established through SBG efforts.
Planned activities include: A bailbond program, a travel service and an SBG financial aid program.
This week’s Hurricane poll of 300 UM students shows that students generally don't know what is happening in the SBG..
Here’s how it went:
Are you aware of any SBG activities?
Yes	No	Not Sure
3«%	57%	7%
"uh, um. I'm not sure," many students repeated.
“How can I be sure Student Government does anything? Most of the time, The Student Entertainment Committee does things and the SBG takes credit for it,” one student
said.
Do you know who your student senator is?

Concert Disconnected

Sunday night's Mahavish-nu Orchestra concert was progressing very smoothly, the audience was getting into the music, the musicians were having a good time playing for the crowds, and then the plug was pulled.
Based on existing city laws regarding disturbing the
peace, a clause requiring concerts on the Student Union Patio to end by 11 p.m. is included in all contracts for groups booked by the Student Entertainment Committee.
Sunday night, Mahavishnu was called back by the enthusiastic audience for an encore, and the concert ran into overtime.
At about 11:14, the power was cut off and the concert was over.
“I thought that all phases of the concert were proceeding positively; it was unfortunate that the group Ignored the time limitations placed on them by the students," SBG President Sami Burstyn

The activities of the institute consist of seminars and shops, residential programs, consulting and research. The goal off the institute is to teach people to understand themselves and others. The conference is designed for a general audience.
Rolfing, psychosynthesis, encounter, and transpersonal meditation are among the approaches to living that will be examined at the Florida Conference. Sessions will be both experiential and theoretical. Those who wish to attend only the lectures may do so.
This is the first time Esalen group leaders, theoreticians and researchers have come together to present a program in the Southeast. Esalen staff members who will be participating in the Florida Conference include Betty Fuller, Max Lemer, Alan Watts, and Christie King who is a former student at UM.
Registration for the weekend is $65 plus hotel fees. For application and further information, write Mike Vavrek, Division fo Continuing Education, UM, P.O. Box 8005, Miami, Florida 33124. (305) 284-3562.
“I don’t know who my senator is and I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned, he doesn't represent me," one coed said.
"Yes, Sami Burstyn. Wait, he’s not a senator, he’s the President, isn’t he,” one puzzled student said.
Have you ever attended an SBG Senate meeting?
Yes	No
7%	»3%
“I had to, I was a senator," one student representative
said.
Many students said they had no interest in attending a meeting. However, many students showed a desire to go to the meetings. The only thing holding them back — they don't know when or where the meetings are held.
Student Senate meetings are held every Monday at 4 p.m. in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Student Union.

“No, I'd like to see a financial report and see what they’re doing,” one student said.
“For what it’s worth, I feel I am (being well represented),” another student said.
"No, they need a wall-sized suggestion box,” one coed
said.
After taking the poll, one student said, "I don't know why I answered any of the previous questions. 1 never, never heard of SBG."	>

Peace Corps Now Enlisting
By JANIS FRAWLEY

Tomorrow and Thursday, Miss Linda Darling and Chong Youn Kim will be on the UM campus recruiting volunteers for VISTA and the Peace Corps.
Miss Darling, a past volunteer, worked in a rural country in southwest Nebraska and was basically active in community development.
She worked with low income people, Mexican-Ameri-cans, elderly people and poor whites of the western half of Nebraska’s Lincoln County. The VISTA volunteers tried to start self-help projects, and to get the low income people involved in starting projects of their own. The volunteers were the resources for the projects, but the people did the organizing and administration.
One project which Linda helped to promote in this area was in the field of education. Adult basic education courses were started for people who had not finished high school. Successful completion of the program led to the GED, a high school equivalency certificate.
For the elderly a “meals on wheels” program provided one hot. well-balanced meal at the noon hour to “shut ins." These are people who are not mobile enough to go out, or have lost the ability to cook. This program delayed the nursing home for a lot of those who had very limited funds.
knowledge of the Korean English teachers," Kim said.
Other volunteers work in the fields, in health centers, mostly in the rural areas and In tuberculosis control along with the program of the Korean government.
There were also specific professional volunteers, such as in special education, mental retardation, nuclear engineering, city planning, physical and occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Chong Youn Kim was the assistant director to the Peace Corps in this area for the first two years. He has worked as supporting person for volunteers in administrative. financial, housing and cultural problems.
His last year, he served as a special project advisor working with volunteers in special skill areas.
During this time, there were 25 volunteers in the special skills area. His main role was to monitor these volunteer activities and support technical, counseling, and cultural programs, especially the relationship between Koreans and Americans.
“The personal relationships can be a problem,” Kim said, “if the people of the host country think of the volunteers as an American and not an individual.”
In both the Peace Corps and VISTA, as a volunteer.

A community center was set up in an old Union Pacific train depot in Sutherland, Nebraska.
This center satisfied the recreational needs of the people by having a place for the young to come in the evening to play ping-pong or pool and hold dances. During the day, it was available to the elderly as a place where they could come, meet friends and have coffee and donuts.
Chong Youn Kim, a native of Korea, had worked directly with the Peace Corps for three years in the central region, in Seoul and two other provinces.
In Korean middle schools, English is required. So, most of the volunteers teach English.
“There is no way to replace native American speakers. By working with Americans, we can ^advance the
