The money came from a $200,000 fund previously allocated to the Richter Library for the purchase of new materials and for the improvement of its services. The committee allotted $30,000 for the Reference Department. The money will mainly be used for the construction of an office-work area to be built from the end of Dr. McNeal’s office to the patio exit at the rear of the second floor. “With this construction, the Reference Department will he accommodated more efficiently since it will provide “adequate separation and sound baffling for the various kinds of work we do," said Mrs. Merrick, chairman of the Reference Department. The problem now is students who study near the reference desk often complain the teletype machine and the phones are too noisy, and they can’t study well, she said. In addition to the construction of the office, a baffle to shield the teletype machines will he acquired; a computer terminal will be installed; and an electric typewriter will be purchased to replace the manual which is in need of extensive repair. Shelving will be improved with the purchase of new double faced ranges. This will allow room for the college bulletins which are presently stored on the ninth floor. The committee also allocated $5,000 for the improvement of the Engineering Library. Areas that have faulty lighting in the library will be repaired. Extra chairs will be added for tables which only 20 chairs. Improvement of the Periodical Department was also discussed but was left undecided due to lack of information. The committee will also discuss whether money should be allotted for a security guard to watch over the library areas at night until it closes.

It is the Volunteer Impact Program. “VIP will work with the departments of economics, sociology, elementary education, secondary education and education psychology,” said coordinator of VIP, Dr. Thomas Vest. Dr. Vest said it will help to develop volunteer off-campus experience and internships. “We hope to expand by next year,” Dr. Vest said. Students working within departments can take a variable credit program, ranging from one, two or three credits. Dr. Vest described the VIP credit program: The students involved in the sociology department will work as companion counselors in the Pentiand Hall, halfway house, with 15-17 year old girls. They will also serve as counselors for the inmates In the women's and men’s jails and stockades, training them for jobs three to four months before they are to be released. The elementary education school has set up work in the after school house in the Lee Park area, St. Alban’s Daycare Center, Redland Christian Migrant Center and the Parkway Children's House to enrich the learning experience of the children. The economics department will venture into the business sector of the community. Dr. Vest said ViP will also offer a volunteer week, the second week of the second semester. Together with the Student Body Government, Voluntary Action Committee and VIP, students will be sent out into the community for two or three hours a week. They will act as friends or help with technical skills with the pre-school children to the senior citizens. Dr. Vest said the programs offer a wide gamut of choices in which to serve the community. UM President Henry King Stanford is pleased with the new VIP. “I am extremely interested in this — I think the students See page 2, col. 4 By ROY BERGER ■«•or Tuition won’t go up next semester, UM President Henry King Stanford says, hut it could be hiked by next fall. “We will make every effort to keep from raising tuition next fall,” Stanford said. ‘‘At the moment we do not count on raising it, but we are just trying to keep a crack in the door in case we are forced to. Our plans now though are not to raise it.” Over the past three years tuition has jumped from $1,000 a semester in 1971 to the present rate of $1,250 a semester. Under no circumstances Stanford said, will tuition rise for next semester. “We are waiting to see what the receipts from next semester are before we make any definite plans about next year,” he said. “This is of course the first year that first semester has ended before the first of January so this means we are confronted with a new experience in registration procedures. “At this point we just don’t know what it will mean in terms of returning students and the amount of tuition income the University will realize from next semester’s enrollment,” he said. Stanford said he will begin work on the 1974 UM budget in January and hopes to have it concluded by March when tuition rates will be decided. “We have to sit down with the Budget Committee and the Faculty Senate and work out a budget we can present to the Board of Trustees,” he said. “Then we will try to determine what money if any, will be available for salary increases next year and other uncontrollable and fixed expenses. “We have to keep in mind what it will cost us in the way of lights, electricity, water, books and the Library and we will add it all up and see what we have to do,” he said. Stanford said he was concerned about rumors circulating campus the last few weeks that tuition would rise next year. “There is no basis for any- Security Hires First Female Officer By ANDREA KAYE Of Tl»a Hurricane Staff “My mom is a pig!” Patrice Boardwine said as she pinned the badge on her mother, Mrs. Ann Boardw'ine, making her the first woman security guard at the University of Miami. Mrs. Boardwine had worked at the University for nine years as a secretary to Dean McCoy at the Student Personnel Office. “I had always been interested in law enforcement. My closest friend is a homicide detective, and she was a big factor in my decision to go into this field," Mrs. Boardwine said. She said that she had worked at the major offenses department with Dean McCoy for nine months and was somewhat familiar as what to expect from the-job. Training for one to be admitted to the police force is not an easy task for anyone, especially a woman. Mrs. Boardwine said she found the experience difficult but well worth the time. Now ■that she has begfin her job, nm Patrice Boardwine Atltls Feminine Touch To Security .. . it urn no ea*y In*!; meeting the requirement* she finds it exciting and rewarding. “At the Institute of Criminal Justice at Dade-North, which I graduated from on September 4, classes on criminal law, search and seizure, and laws of evidence were given,” she said. Among the "task«" necessary to qualify1 as a police officer were seven days on the firing range, a shotgun combat run in which they had to crawl on their stomachs, run 100 yards, kneel, load, and crawl on a fence, learn judo and karate and view slides of murders and sex crimes, she said. “I also went through riot training and had no go through the gas chamber test and the Circle of Fear,” Mrs. Boardwine said. In Mrs. Boardwine’s class, five of the 49 were women. Everyone had favorable reactions to women being in the class, but some of the men didn't know how they would feel having a woman riding in the patrol car with them,” she said. “They didn’t know whether their reaction in an emergency situation would be to protect the woman officer first.” Mrs. Boardwine’s philosophy has changed because of her new position as a campus security officer. “I like to be able to perform the same functions, as the male officers, free of sex discrimination. I told the other officers that I don’t even want doors opened for me because I want to be treated equally," she said. Although she has only been working at the University for a week she has already gone on duty in the patrol car alone. She said that if she treats people the way she would want to be treated she will not have any problems. "I’m always suspicious, but never really afraid,” she said. “I hope that the addition of a woman security guard will be beneficial to the fe- ' See Page 2, Col. 3 “We in'// make every effort to keep from raining tuition next fall.

"I haven’t and will not at this time make any statement about it though until all receipts are in for next semester.” Stanford said he saw tuition increases as a standard trend around the nation’s campuses. “I think other institutions around the country have found they have to raise their tuitions. In my annual report I said one way or another we would have to get used to the idea that eventually we would be paying more tuition at the University of Miami. “Like I said this is something I don't want to do but we may be forced into it. Thus far we have determined there would not be a tuition increase next year but I'm just trying to leave myself a way out until I put the budget together next year.” In the event tuition does increase, Stanford said, it would have a great effect on the rapidly rising UM attrition rate. “I think enrollment would have dropped the last several years even if we didn’t raise tuition because of the way the world is today," he said Former Speaker Alee Stevens . .. Itatl to make rhoire Senate Speaker Alec Stephens Resigns Position By HOWARD GOLD Hurricane Reporter Alec Stephens resigned yesterday as Speaker of the Senate of the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG). “I resigned because I had to make a choice between things I had to do and things I like to do,” Stephens said. “On the side of things 1 have to do,” he said, “is rebuild my health and recuperate from my operation. I’m getting married and there will be responsibilities 1 will have to attend to.” “USBG has taken a lot away from my academics which I have to attend to. I could be doing a lot better. I also have doctor bills to pay. I have to go to work,” he said. “I have grown a bit tired of USBG. I still like it but I'm just tired of the same old thing, including the same articles from the Hurricane," Stephens said. “USBG usually says the same thing.” Stephens said he was not going to completely abandon involvement at the University. “1 am still on the Rat Advisory Board, serving a two year term. I am going to stay involved but USBG is just too much. I would like to work on Black Culture Week. I’ll be doing things.” The vacancy will be filled by an election in the Senate. The Speaker of the Senate presides over meetings and appoints chairmen for Senate committees. He also assigns and charges committees to do legislative work and appoints offices of the Senate. ! — ■ i-.lt -- Kohoutek Portends Apocalypse By JIM HOLLANDER Of Tfta Hurncana Staff Second In A Series The coming of comet Kohoutek this month stimulates many religious questions. The appearance of unusual objects in the sky go far back in man's history and have indirectly been associated with many of his various religious beliefs. A UM religion instructor, who wished to remain anonymous, related some interesting opinions concerning the relationship between cosmic events and religious doctrines. The following is an interpretation of what the instructor said are ideas held by members of various faiths, it is not an explanation. The year is that of the birth of Jesus Christ. The place is ancient Persia. In the sky looms a brilliant object, each night appearing a little further in the western sky. Three Zoroastrians follow the illuminated object to Bethlehem where they present gift offerings to the Lord Jesus, their Messiah, their The Zoroastrians were a religious sect who abided by the teachings and philosophy of Zoroaster. They were monotheistic in faith, having a belief that there is but one God, and they inhabited Persia, now Iran. The Magi, a Zoroastrian priest, had reached a high level of astrological knowledge, considering the times, and followers were accustomed to turning their attentions towards the celestrial bodies in the sky. This sect believed in the • coming of the Messiah, which in the Zoroastrian tradition was stronger than that of the Old Testament in ancient pre-Christian times. It was their belief that a savior, or Saoshyant, would be born from time to time of a virgin. Seeds of the Saoshyant would be circulating in a lake. A young maiden would bathe in this lake and would thus become fertilized. in the Avesta, the sacred library of the ancient Persian See page 3. col. lj
