President Stanford Rejects AAUP Decision
Exclusive
Take a cruise to the
-MAY-3—

In a reaction to the UM chapter of the American Association of University Professors' decision to commit itself to an effort to become the collective bargaining agent of the UM faculty. UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford said he would not recognize the AAUP As a collective bargaining agent for the faculty until they go through the National Labor Relations Board election process.
Stanford said that the “faculty is well represented al-
ready In the decision making process of the University.”
Stanford said the faculty is represented by the Faculty Senate Budget Committee, and tnat he would not recognize the UM chapter of the AAUP as the collective bargaining agent for the faculty because of his relation to the Faculty Senate Budget Committee.
Dr. Stanford said that over the last ten years there have been substantial increases in faculty salaries, although he himself is not satisifed with the level of the salaries.
However, Charles Eyre, president of the UM chapter of
the AAUP, pointed to salaries as the main reason why his group has committed Itself to collective bargaining.
“The rise m the cost of living has hit everyone but during the past two years the cost of living has outstripped the faculty pay increases,” Eyre said last week.
Dr. John A. Gormah, V.P. of the UM A.A.U.P. Chapter felt that if this were 1965, the idea of a union would not be a happy one, but that today it is a necessity.
Dr. Emmet F. Low, associate dean of the faculties, said,
”1 would be very concerned if I were a student about having a union be a major part of the University.”
Low hoped that "we wouldn’t move into this quickly."
Dr. Clifford Alloway, vice-chairman of the Faculty Senate and Government, favors retention of the present faculty charter.
“I’ve been in the Faculty Senate for several years. It is a highly effective instrument of representation,” Alloway said.
“If we didn’t have such an instrument, we’d need collective bargaining. But the Faculty Senate does a good job.” he said.
Moot Court V ictorious

The UM Law School has returned to Miami victorious, after winning the Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in Washington, D.C.
Competing against over 70 law school teams from the U.S. and abroad in various regional rounds throughout the country, UM defeated Haile Selassie I University of Ethiopia, the foreign champion, by a 3-0 vote for the world title.
Other foreign teams in competition were the University of Zambia and the University of Liberia, Africa; the University of Exeter, England; and the National University of Rosario, Argentina.
The UM team argued both sides of a hypothetical case involving
“Westphalia," an underdeveloped country which had been discriminated against in ^n international area by a super-power. The case was argued before a mock International Arbitral Tribunal. The judges included lawyers, jurists and law professors.
Previously the UM team defeated the University of Akron, Boston University, Cornell University, and the University of Texas, who was last year’s winner, and went on to win the national title in the semi-finals.
In the regional round held in Birmingham, Ala., UM defeated Tu-lane, Vanderbilt and Cumberland Universities, and the University of Georgia.
UM also won the award for the best brief, and Robert F. Urich, Jr., a UM Senior was in a three-way for best oral-ist.
The UM Law School also won the 1970 international title, and was runner-up in the regional round last year.

UM Faculty Support Collective Bargaining
H’cane
Opinion
Poll
By ERIC BALOFF
And DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Of Tha Hurrlcan* Staff
Many faculty members expressed dissatisfaction with the AAUP and revealed that they had not paid their membership dues, thereby losing their AAUP status.
A majority, though, said they were still members.
“The AAUP was the only organization that at the time looked like they could get some action,” said one faculty member.
“It’s a good organization; I’m going to join it as soon as I can afford it,” another said.
“In other areas of the country on other campuses, the AAUP is a powerful organization. Here is just another useless organization,” one professor said, in contrast to some of his colleagues.
Are you in favor of the AAUP becoming the collective bargaining agent for the UM faculty?
YES NO UNDECIDED
46%	20%	28%
It is apparent that if collective bargaining becomes a reality, the faculty would favor the AAUP acting as the bargaining agent.
“I think if anybody should do it, the AAUP should,” another instructor said.
Would you be in favor of another organization acting as a collective bargaining agent?
YES NO UNDECIDED 22% 50%	22%
A majority of UM faculty members polled this week indicated they would favor collective bargaining.
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is trying to become the bargaining agent for the faculty.
Unlike previous student polls, due to the smaller number of faculty members than student body members, only fifty instructors were polled.
Here’s how it went:
Are you in favor of collective bargaining for UM faculty?
YES NO UNDECIDED 50% 20%	30%
Although many instructors were doubtful whether collective bargaining Will ever take place on the UM campus, the majority were in favor of implementing such a system of salary negotiations.
“I think we need collective
bargaining to get anywhere with salary negotiations,” one professor said.
Feelings seemed to indicate that the adage “together we stand, divided we fall,” is ¿till appropriate.
“I’m in favor of collective bargaining short of a strike,” said one instructor.
Are y«>u a member of the American Association of University Professors?
YES	NO
42%	58%
“I would like to see the Faculty Senate or some other body within the UM struc-ture act as bargaining agent,” one dissenter said.
Most faculty members would prefer the AAUP acting as bargaining agent if there ever should be bargaining.
However, one professor summed up a general feeling of those polled in regard to the entire matter of collective bargaining.
"It would probably be extraordinarily unsuccessful; there’s just not the right atmosphere here."
Faculty, Tenure Definitions Altered
Tenure, Titles
Changed
By JOHN REILLY
Hurrlcan* Bailor
UM President Henry King Stanford has notified all UM faculty members that cffec-t i v e immediately tenure, kinds of faculty appointments, and the definition of full-time faculty have been modified.
In the memo to the faculty Dr. Stanford said the changes in University policy have been approved by the Faculty Senate, the Academic Dean’s Policy Council, by himself and by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The major changes came in the area of faculty appointments. Previously there were two kinds of faculty appointments — term and regular.
However, in his memo to the faculty Dr. Stanford said, “To provide for varying degrees and kinds of participation and for the different kinds of programs of the University, appointments to the faculty are of three kinds, namely term, indefinite or regular.”
Term appointments are for a specified period of time and terminate at the conclusion of the period specified. These appointments include part-time faculty members, ‘interim instructors,’ lecturers and faculty members who have passed their sixty-fifth birthday.
Faculty members serving under a term appointment do not attain tenure.
“When deemed advisable, full-time appointments with a title of professor, associate professor, assistant professor or instructor may be term appointments but with the provision that if the period of service is continuous and extends beyond four years the appointment will become regular,” Dr. Stanford said.
Dr. Stanford said this service will be included in the probationary period as service at UM.
According to the memo, indefinite appointments include full-time appointments with titles research professor, research associate professor, research assistant professor, research instructor, clinical professor, clinical associate professor, clinical assistant professor and clinical instructor.
"Persons serving under an indefinite appointment do not attain tenure; however, the appointment may be renewed until terminated either by action of the appointee or by action of the Uni-

SBG Opposes Pledge Restrictions
By DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Of Tha Hurrlcan* Staff
A resolution in opposition to the prohibition of freshmen fraternity pledges from moving into fraternity houses was passed by the SBG senate Monday.
As its first offical action the newly elected senate unanimously voted against a proposal approved by Director of Residence Halls James C. Grimm and Dean of Students Nicholas Gennett for increasing residence hall room rentals.
An Inter-Fraternity-Council representative said the University was stopping the move by 75 freshmen yearly because of the large amount of dorm vacancies
The resolution stated that fraternities were an active and helpful force in the University community and that the administration should not deprive them of financial support.
The resolution gave full SBG support to the issue of freshmen moveouts and to “preserve San Amaro Drive as Fra-
temity row.”
Sami Burstyn, SBG president outlined a three point campaign to help the fraternities: Students are asked to send letters to President Stanford, support a possible rally later this week, and submit any ideas for substitute proposals.
“This restricts one more time, the amount of flexibility of freshmen of moving out of the dorms,” Burstyn said.
Recommendations were made to look into the possibilities of a five day meal plan for commuters, better lighting and an increase of security on campus, the cleaning up of Lake Osceola, and the expansion of medical facilities at the Health Center.
Students are invited to attend the next SBG meeting, Monday, May 8, in the Pearson-Mahoney Dorm.
