The Dean’s Council has recommended to the Presi-dent’sXabinet that the credit limit remain at 16 credits except for full-time students who have a 3.5 cumulative average or above. Those students would be allowed to take up to 18 credits, according to Dr. Robert H. Bock, dean of the School of Business Administration and a member of the council.
“The council decided that students with an average of 3.5 or above receive tuition scholarships to pay for up to two additional credits, if they want to take excess credits,” Bock said.
Bock said the council based their decision mainly on an investigation report made by a council subcommittee on overload credits and student behavior. The report, which was completed in Feb., found that a majority of UM ~ students drop excess credits before the end of each semester.
“The subcommittee found that about two out of every three students who registered for 18 credits dropped to 15 credits during the semester,” Bock said.
The council’s recommendation must first be approved by the President’s Cabinet and then the Board of Trustees before it becomes UM policy.
The adoption by the President’s Cabinet seems almost assured. Bryce Dunham, assistant to UM President Henry King Stanford,, said last month that the president would go along with the council’s recommendation.
A controversy arose earlier this semester about the credit limit when UM announced a tuition increase of $150 per semester.
Student leaders demanded a return to the 18 credit limit. They said that when the UM lowered the limit to 16 credits for fall 1971 it was in lieu of a tuition increase. Since the tuition Increase was made, they said, students should again be allowed to take up to 18 credits.
Administration officials countered that the credit limit reduction was not in lieu of a tuition increase and

Security Examines Campus Lighting
By IRIS HOROWITZ
HurrlcliM AlMClatu Editor
In the light of the crime problem on the UM campus, Dave Wike, assistant head of security, has been investigating additional lighting facilities for the campus.
Wike has investigated replacing 81 mercury vapor lights with high pressure sodium vapor lights, the same kind which have been responsible for reducing crime in the city of Miami Garment District.
However, he realizes that the lighting would run into a great sum of money which the University is not able to absorb.
“If we had the money, there would be places that could use additional lighting; but if you can recognize someone about 200 feet away, then the lighting is not too bad,” Wike said.
Jack Pinkerton, of the Coral Gables Florida Power and Light office, has provided Wike with i map of the university street lighting facilities for easy recognition of the dark, trouble spots.
According to Wike, lighting is not the sole reason for crime on campus.
“A majority of the violent crimes which occur on
campus happen in completely light areas — indoors,” he said.
"Students walking around campus at night don’t stop to think about their own security,” Wike said. “They take short cuts through dark areas instead of following the lighted paths.”
According to Pinkerton, there are no rates available yet for sodium vapor lights because installation and use has only been on a trial basis.
“We have to evaluate the cost and charge to justify our expenses,” he said. “The cost of lighting will be more for sodium vapor than mercury.”
Wike hds indicated that the University may experiment with these new lights in their parking lots because UM services its own lighting in these areas. Florida Power and Light services the main thoroughfares.
“The University has not yet requested any additional lighting, only information regarding these new lights,” Pinkerton said.
“This is my own survey of new lighting for the campus," Wike said. “If the lights were to be installed, an engineer would need to survey the campus.”

Last year Stu Weiss finished first in the president’s race with 46% of the vote. Ray Bellamy (now SBG president) placed second with 29.7% of the vote and Steve Chaykin took third with 21% of the vote.
The runoff, however, was a completely different scene as Bellamy entered office with 50.3% of the vote. Chaykin dropped out and pledged his support to Bellamy. Weiss only managed 49.6% of the vote.
Most of the same rules are in effect that governed last year’s election. “No campaign material can be worn inside the voting area,” Mills said. "That includes buttons, T-shirts, posters anything. If T-shirts are worn, the voter will not be allowed inside until he has taken off the offensive material.”
Mills also said that instead of the two voting areas that the election had last spring, only one will be used this year. “It should make It easier on everyone and hopefully there will be less hassles if we centralize the procedures,” he said.
This afternoon at 4:45 p.m., all candidates running for office must be at the election commission meeting. After the meeting is over, formal campaigning will get under way. “Hopefully, with this many candidates running for office, enough interest will be generated by the student body,” Mills said.
Last year over 3,400 students voted in the spring election which was 40% of the full-time students. Mills would like to exceed that figure this year.
"The main thing, though, is that the students know what and who they're voting for,” he said. "Read the newspaper, listen to the campus radio station (WVUM 90.5FM) and try to meet as many candidates as possible. Most of all, be aware.”
In the other executive branches, three men are running for vice president, three men and one woman are vying for treasurer and two men and one woman are trying for the office of secretary.

Another candidate’s meeting with the Election Committee will be held at 4:15 p.m.
Expenditure report forms are due at 4 p.m., in the Student Activities Office, room S224. Formal campaigning begins after the meeting.
There will be 59 candidates in the race for 17 different SBG positions. The seven presidential candidates will hope to pull 50% of the vote on the first ballot and thus avoid a runoff.
For
In the order that they appear on the ballot, the candidates are: Sami Burstyn, Vaughn Molden, Oliver Parker, Paul Tumarkin, Mike Evans, Brian “Oohlic” Ross, and Dave Smith.
Ed Mills, chairman of the election commission, says that the only major change of this election (to be held in the Student Union Lounge 9 a.m.-4 p.m.) and last year’s, concerns runoffs. “Last year we had the first three candidates running off in the president’s race," he said. "From now on we’ll have only the two top vote getters running off if it’s necessary.”
