Beating The System
“Don’t it always seem that you don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot . . .” Joni
Mitchell must have been thinking of something similar to the UM parking problem when she wrote those lyrics. With ever in-
atm—
creasing fines and towing charges around campus, it appears that students have started their own parking “crackdowns.”

SBG Senator Quits Fed Up With 6?
By ALAN JOCH
Humean* Reasrttr
Student Body Government (SBG) senator Warren Glick resigned from office 'lues-day. He cited the incapability of SBG in producing anything beneficial for the student body as his main reason for quitting.
“I am also fed up with the amount of money being rip-ped-off by some people in Student Government,” Glick stated.
“SBG is populated by a few well-intentioned individuals with a desire to help the students, however their capacity and capability to accomplish anything is mild," Glick said.
Glick cited the new search and seizure policy as an example. He said that although SBG helped formulate a new search and seizure policy the administration ignored its recommendations and instituted a program of its own.
“What's the purpose of

SBG or any other student organization if they can’t attain the basic rights that should be guaranteed to every student? It becomes ostentatiously apparent that SBG does exactly what the administration allows It to do,” Glick said.
Glick described SBG as a “three ring circus” made up
Orr Beats Clark
Former Assistant State Attorney, Jack Orr narrowly heat incumbent Metro Mayor Stephen P. Clark
By 4,289 votes, Orr managed to defeat Clark.
With all 343 precincts re-porting, Orr had 72,409 votes to Clark's 68,120 votes.
In the Metro Commission races, three Incumbents were defeated.
Incumbent S. A. Dansyear lost to Mike Calhoun, incumbent Harvey Reisman was defeated by Beverly Phillips and incumbent James F. McKillips Jr. lost to Harvey Ruvin.

of “individual ego trippers."
“The only difference between a senate meeting and a three ring circus is a circus has more order to it,” Glick stated.
He also charged that some of the $130,000 allocated to the Student Entertainment Committee (SEC) is being wasted and being used for personal profit.
He susgested that UM stereo equipment is ending up in peoples living rooms, and that “students are continually blinded by token concerts and lectures that SBG puts on through SEC. fooling students into thinking student government is yorking for them.” Glick blamed this on the fact that there is no SEC chairman and thus no one to look after the funds.
Glick said there will be an investigation of SBG.
“After all the evidence is secured and finalized, proper charges and allegations will be publicized,” Glick said.
SBG President Sami Burns-tyn said he would be “more than happy to accommodate” Glick in his investigation.'He further stated that, “In so far as SEC sound equipment and accusations of embezzling funds, I think Warren better come up with special allegations naming names and events.
“Anybody can make blanket accusations and I wonder if Warren knows enough about SEC to realize whether or not something is a good deal or a rip-off.”

Many UM students who depended on the Guaranteed Student Loan Program for the fall school term are still wondering if they are going to receive their money. Others have given up totally on the government program.
This confusion is due to the Education Act Amendments which President Nixon signed on June 23, 1972. It went into effect July 1, 1972, changing the ground rules for student applicants.
“The emergency legislation eased the crush considerably, but there are widespread delays in getting applications processed,” Dick Tombaugh, executive director of the National Association of the Student Financial Aid Administrators said.
For five and one-half years, the Office of Education of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has operated the student loan program and under the original act. students borrowed money directly from a hank, credit union, savings and loan association or other participating lender.
The maximum tuition loan was $1504) per academic year. Graduate and undergraduate students were, and still are, eligible for this program if enrolled at least half time at an eligible college, university, hospital school of nursing, and approved for-e i g n schools, vocational, technical, trade, business or home study school.
A notarized affidavit must be submitted with the application stating that the money received will be used to cover educational costs only.
Many schools let students who had applied for the loan to sign promissory notes at registration.
Dr. Thomas Sheeder, director of the UM Office of Financial Aid reported that at the UM, around 500 promissory notes were signed at registration. Presently, most of the loans regarding these students have already been processed and insured.
The role of the school in processing these loans was minor. They were only to verify that the amount of the loan which students applied for was not in excess of the specific college costs. The remaining processing was done by the lending institution and the government.
According to Sheeder UM is not affected as badly as some schools.
“I know of one school who had 3,000 promisor)’ notes signed at registration.” he
said.
Many schools across the nation were not able to put the promissory note practice into effect. Students had to find their funds elsewhere, drop out for a semester, or change schools.
Under the new rules, most of the processing is done by the financial aid office of the university or school.
“It is hard to set up a whole new department for the processing of these appli-
Treasurer Cites Senate Fault?
Senate Meetings Bring Resentment

Phillip Holtsberg, SBG Treasurer called the Student Senate imprudent based on actions taken in recent Senate meetings.
Holtsberg cites three examples which he feels proves the Senate's imprudence.
First, the Senate voted on budgetary allowances which reduced the proposed $1,100 contingency fund nearly fifty per cent.
Second, the Senate acted to eliminate funds for a special subsidy to cover the additional costs of an election section in the Miami Hurricane.
“Two thousand dollars is an insufficient figure for running the elections, partic-
ularly since we can't use the voting machines this year. There will be more expenses than last year, and $2,000 will not be enough,” said Holtsberg.
He adds that the candidates could air their views through the election section in the Hurricane, ) and this action may well eliminate the candidate who is without funds.
Third, Holtsberg feels it was inappropriate to allocate $2,300 as an executive stipend for the SBG Executive Secretary.
As far as the executive stipends go, Holtsberg stated that there is “nothing remotely close" to requiring a student to prove need to receive financial assistance in
the constitution.
However, he said that the referendum question on the ballot last spring asking students if they felt that students receiving such funds should prove financial need, passed by a vote of 844 to 522.
The question encompassed the entire field of Student Activity Fee Allocation Fund (SAFAC) recipients, including the Hurricane, Ibis, Truck and WVUM. ..
“This issue is not a legal or financial obligation for us because it was never acted on by the Board of Trustees, however, SBG executives have been voluntarily obey-

cations in nine days." Sheeder said.
“To add to the confusion, as of the period ending August, 1972, 2200 UM students had applied for a loan, as compared to the August 1971 figure of 1300," he said.
The amendments changed the maximum annual amount of the loan to $2500. However, the students are required to fill out a family financial
need analysis which requires schools to confirm the “demonstrated financial need" of each student.
“These needed analyses are not to keep anyone from a loan. They are to help determine whether the student qualifies for the government paid interest,” Sheeder said.
The new rulings state that anyone whose family finan-
cial analysis shows an annual income of $15,000 or less is entitled to this government paid interest. Those whose family income ranges beyond the $15,000 mark is not entitled to this benefit.
The amendments provide for more money to be available to the student loan program in general. Instead of being funded specifically by lending institutions, the government has authorized for

Parking Opens
Plans for solving the parking situation are still underway on the UM campus. Paving of the lot behind the Ring Theater (7) has yet to be completed, but will begin as soon as the weather permits. The main, three lane exit, at Campo Sano (I), and the University
Drive Exit (2) are now open. Other exits (3 and 4) are open where palm trees have been transplanted. 5 and fi on the map are potential exits, still being worked on. Future exits for the rear parking lots (5 and 6), will be opened if the other exits prove to be too congested.

New Lots Finished Adding 240 Spaces
By LAUREN BLAZOVIC
Humean« Reporter
Although the UM lost 247 parking spaces when Doctor’s Hospital bought extra spaces from the University in August, the University will gain a net increase of 240 spaces after all new parking lots are completed.
When the lots by the new Law building and the Ring Theater are completed, there will be a total increase of 44)4 parking spaces on the UM campus.
Because of the dealy, students still cannot find available lots and have to park on lawns and in other unauthorized spaces.
Delays are due to rain and the fact that it is only possible to pave the lots on weekdays because asphalt cannot be obtained on weekends.
In one day last week, over 300 parking tickets were issued by the Coral Gables police because of the parking situation.
"We requested that the city not give out tickets until we finished paving parking lots — except in fire lanes,” said Sim Smith, Jr., Director of Physical Plant.
He said that they shouldn’t jeopardize everyone on campus, but fire lanes are just “too dangerous" to block.
Smith said that instead of giving tickets, the University should have traffic directors on campus, between 7:30 t
investors to buy up the loans. Therefore, participating lending institutions will have more money available for the program.
“Generally speaking, the new rules will be a pretty fine service to the students,” Sheeder said.
With the signing of the amendments on June 23 and activation on July 1, students, colleges and universities, lending institutions and the government began to operate in a state of disorder and confusion, according to a Fort Lauderdale banker.
The response of the Office of Education was to drop the new rules until March I, 1973. The original rules were reinstated August 19.
Pot Odor
Initiates
Search
By NANCY LUCAS
Hurrican« Reporter
The odor of marijuana coming from the room of two UM students led to an extensive search of their dormitory room on Monday, October
After no answer was obtained when an assistant coordinator knocked at the door and called the room by telephone authorization to search was granted by the associate director of the residence hall.
A twenty-five minute search by the area coordinator and his assistant revealed four cups of dirt, a leather bag with cigarette papers, a plastic bag of what looked like marijuana, a bottle of Mateus, a bottle of Spanada, a pipe and cigarette papers with residue of what looked like marijuana.
A machete was also found in one of the student’s closet.
The students had received a previous warning on Friday night, September 29, when the smell of mariiuana was noticed coming from their room.
The RA spoke with one of the students, who admitted some people had been smoking in the room.
The UM Student Rights Commission is questioning the procedure of the search. Student Body Government (SBG) Vice President Dennis DiMagio said “I believe that the grounds used did not constitute reasonable belief much less probable cause. If the present search and seizure policy would have been the one recommended by student government or even last year’s policy, incidents such as this based on such nebu-I o u s evidence would be
avoided,” DiMaggio said.
SBG President Sami Burs-tyn, holds the opinion that the smell of marijuana cannot be pinpointed to a certain room where there have been several people in different rooms smoking Burstyn believes the case will be dropped upon investigation.

a.m. to 9:30 a.m., or just until the traffic has died down.
"To me, that makes more sense than handing out tickets." said Smith.
Last Friday, Smith got word from the city of Coral Gables that they were going to transplant palm trees off the main parking drive, Campo Sano. This will make two extra campus exits added to the 11 exits already on campus, with the main exit being three lanes.
The front parking lot by
Campo Sano was opened Monday making accessible all of the 342 spaces available for students.
According to Smith, paving ihe parking lot behind the Ring Theater would be more sufficient than building a parking garage. More spaces can be paved in the lot than fitted into a garage.
With the new parking plans, city traffic will drive to Campo Sano and a lot of
the students will be directed to enter from University Drive.
