Commission Names Objectives
Women’s Rights Report Presented To Stanford
By CHUCK GOMEZ
Of Th* Hurricane Staff
A move to push women into more faculty positions and usher in courses on female studies at UM are just two of the objectives members of the Women’s Commission are striving for according to a report presented to UM President Henry King Stanford Monday.
“If we can get University women to take the bull by the horns and tell us of things they think should be done in a different way, we can be effective,” Ms. Polly Cook, Wesley Foundation chairman and head of the UM Women's Commission said.
Discarding Miami feminist Roxcy Bolton’s raids on campus to initiate changes (especially in administration and faculty positions) in behalf of women’s rights. Ms. Cook said the Commission would serve as a positive vehicle for women on campus.
The report, outlining the Commission's goals and objectives for the coming year, was finished last week after a series of meetings with UM’s top women leaders.
Although the Commission was recognized last year by-Stanford as a permanent standing committee, it was only this semester that restructuring of the group was initiated.
The Commission's report calls for:
•	A review of existing systems, policies and procedures” as they affect women with periodic reports to President Stanford.
•	Encouraging a program for women studies on campus.
•	Serving UM women as

a sounding board for complaints concerning status.
0 Providing speakers to
discuss issues on campus pertaining to women.
0 Establishing a newsletter to be distributed to University women “including information about the status of women at UM and other universities, legal deci-s i o n s affecting women, changing career patterns and success stories.”
0 Building the Commission’s Women’s Reference Library at Wesley Foundation.
The report also called for appointment of "divisional li-asons” from different sections of the University “to serve in a communication and resource relationship with the Commission and the areas they represent.”
Liasons to the commission are Sylvia Huber, Affirmative Action; Nedra McNamara, Faculty Club; Alice Erickson, Financial Affairs; Mary Jane Jessie, Medical Center; Eileen Essex, Administration Services.
“We have representatives from all areas of the University,” said Mrs. Cook. “This way we can get an overall picture.
Ms. Cook said that the Commission will not necessarily direct its program toward fullfilling demands set by Roxcy Bolton in October.
Among the demands were that a women be appointed special assistant to the President to study sex discrimination cases and that a woman be appointed dean of the l.aw School.
“We have our own goals to meet,” stressed Ms. Cook. “The Commission was in existence long before Roxcy Bolton came on campus.”
The Commission is presently composed of 12 women representing different areas of the campus. Radically different from the Commission which united in the face of Ms. Bolton's visit to UM, the restructured commission no longer wants to be known as the “Women's Rights Committee.”
The name was penned after the initial visit by Ms. Bolton, Ms. Cook said. “The UM Women’s Commission is a better name though.”
But Ms. Cook will be the first to admit the commission has launched its programs in part because of Ms. Bolton’s allegations that the university wasn’t doing enough to rid discrimination on the basis of sex.
“We hope now we'll be able to solve the problems UM women might face,” Ms. Cook said “This restructuring report is the first step in that direction.”
Budget
Affects
Faculty
Due to budget cuts, contracts of eight UM faculty members might not be renewed — effective May 21, Dean of Faculties, Dr. John Harrison said Wednesday.
Harrison said the loss of these faculty members will save the UM somewhere between $80,000 to $100,000.
The issue of faculty termination was brought to the Hurricane's attention by newly elected Student Body Government (SBG) Senator Ralph Crozier, who was concerned that students have no voice in determining which faculty members are cut.
Those whose contracts renewment is in question are those instructors who have been at UM for less than two years. (Until a faculty member receives tennure, his contract is renewed yearly.)
“We may be losing the youngest and best blood,” Harrison said.
He insisted that the faculty cut will be kept to a minimum.
“If by the end of January, there are more than eight terminations, I'll be surprised,” he said.

After a series of construction setbacks and inspection delays, UM’s $500,000 Rathskeller will swing open its doors Monday at 11 a.m. to a capacity crowd of 450 students expected to throng the German style beer bistro, according to Joe Pineda, Rathskeller manager.
But the Rathskellar, located immediately west of the Student Union at l.ako Osceola, will be much more than that.
“It will be an informal meeting area where students will be able to meet and take advantage of local talent,” graduate student Tom Rebel, chairman of the Rathskeller Advisory Board said. “We will have good food and beverages in a non-institu-tionalized atmosphere.”
In the fall of 1969 students approved a referendum hiking student fees to help pay for the Rathskeller. From planning board to opening day, Rebel as student government treasurer initiated the idea wanted the Rathskeller to be adaptable to the students.
“Five years from now If students wish, they can change the entire atmosphere to whatever they’d like,” he stressed.
Rebel said the Rathskeller will serve beer, three types of wines (Chablis, Rose, and Burgundy), sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks. The Rathskeller will be open Monday through Friday from 11.00 a.m to midnight, Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
However only students 21-years of age or over can order alcoholic beverages under Florida law. Rebel said students (who must present a valid I.D. card) will be stamped according to age.
The Rathskeller's staff includes 110 employees serving as waitresses, waiters and busboys all costumed in Bavarian garb.
Students will be treated to
a spectacular display of modern architecture. The building is octagonal and features a stage on the second floor which juts out so students may easily view shows from any angle.

Rebel said the Rathskeller Committee utilized the resources of the American Institute of Architecture and the cafeteria design is plush and easily adaptable to changes in decor.
Rat Laws Viewed, Menu Scrutinized
By CHUCK GOMEZ Of tt» Hurricant staff
Five brands of beer on draft and three sparkling wines will be featured as part of the Rathskeller’s menu, according to Laura Morgan, coordinator of personnel and programming for the Rathskeller.
Selections from the menu for Monday's grand opening will be limited but Rathskeller officials plan to add to the menu as the semester progresses.
Besides alcoholic beverages, the Rathskeller menu will offer hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, Braunschweiger, corn beef and roast beef sandwiches Exact prices have not yet been determined.
The five beers on tap will include Tuborg, Miller’s, Michelob, Lowenbrau and Heidelberg. House wines will be Rose, Burgundy and Rhinegarten Three Boones-farm wines will supplement the selection: strawberry, apple, and wild mountain.
“The menu will be something we’ll have to expand as time goes along,” exolained Ms. Morton. ‘‘We'll have a wider selection soon.”
Rathskeller chairman Tom Rebel said prices will be a bit higher than the Hurricane cafeteria, but that the “quality of the food will be much better.”
Waiters and waitresses decked out in Bavarian costumes will serve tables Rebel said.
Rathskeller rules according to Rebel will be heavily enforced by doormen.
“We dont want to call them bouncers, hut they'll be there to see the regulations are carried out,” Rebel said.
Initial rules for the Rathskeller call for:
• Disciplinary action and revocation of membership privileges for one semester for violation of pertinent city, state, or federal laws” (such as use of false identification or drinking by minors).
0 Action taken against all students sitting at a table where a minor is found to he drinking.
0 Dismissal of employees who knowingly serve a minor alcoholic beverages
0 Permanent loss of membershm for student committing "second offense" b“ entering Rathskeller during an exclusion period.
Ms. Morgan said the Rathskeller will he open to all students who paid an act'vil * and have a bona fide I.D. card. Students may bring two guests at a time for a charge of 25 cents per guest.
"Rathskeller members will he resnoosihle for the actions of their guests," Ms. Morgan said.
•She cited two principal rea ops for the long dclav of the Rathskeller's opening. Initial target date for the opening had been set for November 15.
“We’re waiting for the certificate of occupancy and sanding of the grained floor which has taken to raisme." Ms. Morgan said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to work out both problems for Monday."
Ms. Morgan said the floor was a wood grain originally installed in tiles which had lifted in part due to the humidity. Other nor-tions of the Rathskeller, she said, are fully carpeted.
Students will order from menus. No provisions have been made as yet for self-service.
The Rathskeller was first delayed when the Coral Gables City Commission responding to pressure from homeowners near the campus was reluctant to °rant a permit for construction.
Gables residents who had complained of students parking on adjacent residential streets, said the Rathskeller would only further congest the neighborhood.
But Commissioners unanimously approved a beer and
wine license in July, 1971 despite Commissioner Rebyl Zain's complaint that the city was violating its own zoning
code bv granting a cummer-c'-»' h-ense in a non-commercial zone.
Architect Charles Cotter-nvin had originally envisioned a hall similar to the t '-eve-sit' of Florida’s Rathskeller, setting a proj-e e t e d ceiling cost of $330,000. But Rebel said a‘ded costs for the last minute second floor remodeling caused the price to rise to close to $500,000.
Rebel warned that students caught using false identification would face suspension from the Rathskeller for a semester.
“If we want to keep a private club atmosnhere we will have to enforce our rules," Rebel said.
The Rathskeller sou nd s' ¡tem • ill resound through the hall to the tune of ft i ’ .000 and provide more than enough amplification for area hands Rebel said
The Law School who hri p I fmance construction will have a private room located at the southeast corner of the hall.

What’s an Alaskan polar bear doing at UM? The bear, along with a Rocky Mountain Grisly, came to UM along with an exotic collection of mounted salt-water fish. The fish were appropriated by the Department of Oceanographic and Marine Sciences. The bears have yet to find such a snug, secure home. Coming to the University from an unknown benefactor, the bears pose a problem for UM’s Property Control. "We are trying to
figure out what to do with the hears, as many people want them for display, including the bookstore,” a Property Control spokesman said. One UM administrator, who wished to remain an-nonymous, suggested that the bears be used to combat student apathy. “ A whole school legend could be started. Fraternities could steal the hear, and then guard it. Students could hide it in unsuspecting peoples dorms. I think it could be a lot of fun,” he said.
