Faculty Senate Advocates Pass-Fail Policy Extension
By BOBB HAXE Of Tin Hurricane Staff
The faculty senate voted Monday to make official the policy of allowing students a 24-day decision period to change their pass-fail status.
A resolution by the academic planning committee would abolish any decision period. An amendment to the resolution was proposed by Professor Hiram DeBlig. This amendment allowed a 14-day decision period thus completely changing the intent of the resolution proposed by the Academic Planning Committee. The amendment passed 19-9.

17th Hicks Conference Held Here
John Dumiak. picture editor of Time magazine, has been named chairman for the seventeenth annual Wilson Hicks International Conference on Visual Communication to be held at UM April 10-13.
The keynote speaker at the
1972	conference, Dumiak also has participated in previous conferences. When he received the Joseph A. Sprague Memorial Award from the National Press Photographers Association, Dumiak was cited for his “early and continued influence on American photojournalism.’’
The recipient of a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Iowa, Durn-iak’s experience includes positions as photographer's assistant for Life magazine and 16 years with Popular Photography, with his final post there being the magazine's editor-in-chief. He became picture editor of Time in 1970.
Persons wishing to be added to the mailing list to receive literature about the
1973	program should write
the coordinator for the Wilson Hicks International Conference on Visual Communication: Miss Betty Baderman, associate director of public relations, UM, P. O. Box 8105, Coral Gables, Fla. 33124.	h
The decision on the part of the faculty senate represents a change in philosophy concerning the pass-fail system. The credit-no credit system was begun so that students could take courses which were out of their field of study. There was to be no change in their pass-fail status after registration.
It soon became an unofficial policy to allow a 14-day period in which students could change their credit-no credit status. This was an illegal practice.
SBG Attorney General Leigh Rothschild proposed a resolution to change the decision period until the drop date for courses. The proposal was passed by the Student Relations Committee but was subsequently defeated by the Academic Affairs Committee.
The committee then voted to eliminate any decision period. This proposal was passed by the faculty council which many claim is tantamount to passing the faculty Senate.
Among those who opposed the legislation which would legally allow a 14 day decision period were Dr. Sidney Besvinik, Dr. Gerome Catz, and Dr. Edward Sofan.
One faculty member who opposed the change said, “It is about time students stop playing games with their grades.’’
Dr. Sidney Besvinik said, "A fourteen day decision peri o d is like being half pregnant.”
According to Leigh Rothschild, SBG Attorney General, most of those faculty senate members who opposed the 14 day decision pe-
riod were in favor of extending the period to the drop date or having no decision period at all.
This belief was substantiated by a statement by Robert W. Hively, acting dean of the college of arts and sciences, when he said that it was his belief that the deadline would be changed to the drop date since it had been extended fourteen days.
Leigh Rothschild said that he would resubmit his legislation to extend the period to the drop date. Dr. Gerome Catz has unofficially assured Rothschild that immediate action would be taken on the resubmitted legislation.
George W. Smith, UM registrar, said, “I was asked if a change in the time element was feasible. I said it was. It could be changed until twelve weeks past the registration.”
Employee Wills $100,000 To Aid Medical Students
By JOHN CUDDIHY
Hurricane Reporter
The late Marcella Fleming Doran, housekeeper at a county hospital in Miami, left a legacy of approximately $100,000 to aid UM medical students.
For 17 years, from 1944 to the end of 1960, Mrs. Doran was employed at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the teaching hospital for UM’s School of Medicine. She started as an attendant housekeeper and was director of housekeeping when she retired. Her peak salary was $484 a month.
Born in Dundee, Scotland, November 3, 1894, Mrs. Doran came to the United States at an early age though she never lost her affection for her fellow countrymen. Besides her legacy to students here, her will provides scholarships for students from Scotland’s Glasgow University to study here during the summer.
Though Marcella Doran died in 1969, it has taken
three years to settle the estate. It seems that Mrs. Doran wrote two wills. Her final will has supposedly been lost, leaving only a previous torn up document as her last legal testament. It is reported that her two daughters received only a minor portion of the estate.
Friends at the hospital referred to her as “Mama Doran”. Mrs. Doran’s dedication to her work was recalled by Mrs. Ruby B. Berry, a companion and fellow worker at the hospital.
Mrs. Berry said, “Many nights when shifts changed she would walk over to the hospital to check on the personnel in her department and the work assigned to them. She knew that one of the essential elements in the care of patients is cleanliness. She wasn’t an executive who remained at her desk all the time.”
Miss Isabel Mustard, who was director of nurses when Mrs. Doran was at Jackson described her as “a warm person with a great concern for people.”
She managed, Miss Mustard added, to be “a meticulous boss, but at the same well-liked by her personnel and highly respected by them.”
Mrs. Doran was a thrifty soul and lived a simple life. “Mama Doran’s” job was her most consuming interest. A divorcee, she lived a block and a half away from the hospital. (After she retired, she sold the property to the John Elliot Blood Bank and rented a furnished room nearby.) Her clothes were plain and inexpensive, which may be why, when she died at 79

Fifteen candidates for the Coral Gables Commission presented their views on University-city relations at an open panel discussion Wednesday afternoon in the International Lounge.
Three commissioner seats, including one commissioner-mayor post, are at stake for the April 10 election and candidates asked for student support to nudg&them to victory.
Only 4,000 residents turned out in the last election, one candidate observed, making it possible for student voters who are registered in the Gables (numbering some 1,000) to sway the election.
Some 50 students and residents attended the event, demonstrating what candidate Larry Friedman labeled the “latent and impotent force of the University.”
Friedman told the audience he supports a peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the neighborhood for both students and the neighboring residents of Coral Gables. He “will not tolerate a double standard” concerning sound ordinances and advised that the University contribute more to the culture of the community.
Jim Snyder, a UM undergraduate majoring in politics and public affairs, calls himself “The Candidate” and advised students that it would probably be wise for them to take an active part in city government.
Throughout the discussion, topics concerning density and other zoning problems, honesty in government, ecology, sound ordinances, 18-year-old rights, and the power of student vote brought heated comments from all of the candidates.
As one student pointed out, every candidate spoke about the ecology, yet only one, Ms. Joyce Tarnow, used recyclable paper for her campaign material.
All candidates expressed views similar to Friedman’s who pointed out there is “a big difference between talking and doing.”
They proceeded to justify their candidacies by touting proposals and past accomplishments.
Bill Loranger, who termed our present era “The Age of the Big Lie,” said we need honesty in government.
Jerry Bain, a candidate for both commissioner and mayor, said, “. . . every member is honest and sincere; I just happen to disagree with them.”
He added that citizens must not confuse honesty with the willingness to allow certain policies to be enforced.
Student senator Kevin Poeppelman questioned the present sound ordinance which affects UM’s concert series. Friedman said this ordinance is broadly worded and could include any noise which annoyed Coral Gables residents.
Another UM student and candidate for the Coral Gables City Commission, Hank Perle, promoted the rewording of the ordinance. He said music from concerts shouldn’t disturb residents.
Bill Chapman, on the other hand, feels that the stringent sound ordinance is necessary to provide the essential quiet hours of the day.
Every candidate seemed to agree there is a definite gap in the communications between the University and the community.
Robert Knight, candidate for mayor and commissioner, felt it is vitally necessary to have UM family members at open commission meetings.
Bob Campbell, the only incumbent and the only member of the current city commission to vote for the construction of UM’s Gusman Hall presented his plan for a Liaison Board consisting of five qualified citizens and five University students selcted by the University.
A self-proclaimed philanthropist, candidate Lee Lincoln told the audience “Elect me and you will have student representatives in our city government.”
Leonard Frishman also expressed his desire to involve students in city government, but while discussing the initiation of coin-operated machines of skill on campus, proclaimed, “I'll vote for anything to keep the students on campus,” adding that he also wanted students to participate more in school activities.
Hank Perle said that the reason he was running for the commission was the lack of communication between students and city officials.

Herbert Dubbin restated Jerry Bains comment that UM students cannot make or break Dade County but it’s what we can do together that counts. Dubbin stated, “The solution is cooperation.”
At the conclusion of the forum, the candidates agreed to return to the University to promote communication between students and commissioners.
Parking Overturned
Gables OK’s
Gusman Hall
By CHUCK GOMEZ
Hurricane Associate Editor
UM will build its $1.25 million Maurice Gusman Concert Hall, the Coral Gables Commission ruled Tuesday, without providing the 150 parking spaces ordered by the city’s zoning board.
The ruling overturned an earlier denial by the zoning board. Four votes were necessary to overturn their refusal.
UM President Henry King Stanford negotiated for more than an hour with Gables Mayor W. Keith Phillips before getting the necessary four votes.
Phillips was against the parking waiver because he said UM recently got waivers for building the Rathskeller and the new Law School addition in the same areas as the concert hall.
Phillips explained that traffic coming to the hall, the Rathskeller and the Law School, must travel on San Amaro Avenue.
But Gables residents on San Amaro have complained that students park in their yards, block driveways and speed down the street.
Phillips suggested Stanford should either stop freshmen from driving cars or open Miller Drive from UM’s campus from South Dixie Highway to the Ring Theater.
However UM doesn’t have the room for 150 parking spaces next to the hall. It will put an additional 360 spaces in lots south of San Amaro. Both streets will serve The Ring and Gusman Hall.
Saying that UM “won’t be forced into a straitjacket” by residents near the University, Stanford culled for more understanding between residents and the University.
Stanford agreed to reserve the closest of the new parkings lots to Gusman Hall for non -students attending programs there in the evening.
Traffic, in addition, will be routed southwest on San Amaro after performances to avoid traffic congestion in residential areas.
Attrition
Causes
Studied
By SCHUYLER PULFORD
Assistant News Editor
Students in Sociology 498, Methods of Sociological Research, are conducting a survey designed to study the sources and causes of recent student attrition at UM.
"The purpose of the study is to obtain accurate and detailed information on the attrition problem so that university life and programs might be changed in order to become more relevant to changing student needs and affairs,” said Dr. Bruce Aid-rich, who presently teaches Sociology 498.
Students in Sociology 498 decided upon a class project instead of individual projects.
“The idea behind this attrition study is to have a survey conducted by students for students, as this retention problem is a student problem," said a class member.
“It is important to identify these factors concerning attrition as it is critical to the survival of this university on the long run. We are expecting a national decrease in student enrollment, but if we (UM) happen to fall below the national average, vlval as a university,” said this could threaten our sur-Aldrich.
The class will try to gather indepth information hy interviewing students who have requested their transcripts be

Security System Under Scrutiny
By BOBB HANE
Of The Hurricant Staff
After a request for such legislation from Speaker Kevin Poeppelman, the senate voted 25-4 to ask President Henry King Stanford to establish a committee to make a thorough investigation of the security system at UM.
Poeppelman cited complaints from black students concerning discrimination and complaints made to the Open Door concerning room checks In the early morning hours as reasons for the resolution.
A motion to table the resolution was defeated.
Poeppelman said prioer to the vote, “It is time for SBG to really do something, for the student.”
John Scales, who favored more evidence being presented to the senate before a vote
was taken, said, “This legislation has been ramrodded through the senate."
"This should not he interpreted as an accusa tion,” said Ric Arenstein in answer to Scales.
Fred Doerner, director of security at UM, said, “We take great pains to try and fulfill our responsibilties of protecting persons and property without harassment We have nothing to hide."
President Stanford was not available for his reaction to the resolution.
An amendment which would reverse the recent Supreme Court decision concerning the required grade-point ratio for participation in SBG was given first-reading approval.
In other action, the senate voted to reverse an earlier decision which abolished the freshman register.
