              Anderson: Just A Regular Guy
By NANCY LUCAS
Of Tl* Hurricane Staff
Born in Brecksviile, Ohio, population 250, he considers himself the most conservative guy on campus.
In his spare time he studies. His hobby is collecting antiques. He does all his partying on weekends and then his idea of Ma night out" is going to dinner at a nice restaurant and then either catching a show or going dancing.
But when Scott Anderson is busy, he’s answering over a hundred phone calls a day, keeping appointments with students and administrators and carrying out the other duties as President of the Undergraduate Student Body Government
(USBG).
Yet Scotty, as he is frequently called is a “regular guy.” He says he likes to hang around the dorms and be a “lobby rat,” finding out what students have on their minds.
Former Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) President, Anderson says he is aware of he dun rent tactions on campus. He feels that lines are open for communication.
“I know, it’s definitely hard to relate unless you're in that specific group,” Anderson said, “but I feel that I have a good rapport with the Cuban students. My major is Spanish
“jMore than anything else, we need a central line of communication. We are all out for the same aim of the best for UM . .	— Scott Anderson
and so when we speak I can talk to them in their own language
“I feel that I have as good a rapport with black students. There is a good representation in USBG and I can always talk to A1 White (SEC Chairman).”
Anderson is also conscious about rights for women.
In his sophomore year Anderson acted as chairman of both parking appeals and parking authority.
"1 am aware of the concern commuter students have about the parking problem,” Anderson said, “and we’re work-ing on it.”
In view of past criticism of SBG (now USBG) Anderson complish something."
feels that its role should be one of speaking to students and handling their problems.
“I don’t think it (USBG) is a force that should take the university to court,” he said.
“More than anything else, we need a central line of communication. We are all out for the same aim of the best for UM, but we are all working in different ways.”
Anderson is currently working on extending check cashing hours and revising the Art and Science School’s foreign language requirement
“Sudent government has to go to various committees to operate effectively,” he said. “I have students going to Coral Gables City Commission meetings and we are trying hard to get some representation there."
Anderson plans to attend law school in Georgetown. Although he has not yet been accepted he has the attitude that “If you don’t go in with a positive attitude you can’t accomplish anything.”
He takes the same attitude towards SBG.
“1 enjoy being President because I actually couldn’t believe nothing can be done,” he said. “I think that we can ac-

Dade Crime Rate Linked With Moon
By JIM HOLLANDER
Of TIM Murrlcin« Staff
A University of Miami researcher says there is a direct link between violent crimes and lunar phases.
Dr. Aronold L. Lieber, a psychiatrist at the UM Medical School, has found that both the new and full moon have been closely associated with marked increases in the Dade County homicide rate.
The human body, he says, is a ‘‘microcosm
comprised of essentially the same elements as and in similar proportions to the Earth’s surface, approximately 80 per cent water and 20 per cent organic and inorganic minerals.”
Keeping in mind the moon’s role in creating the tides, he says ‘‘one could speculate that the gravitational forces of the moon might exert a similar influence upon the water mass of the human microcosm.”
This results, he says, in what has been termed
‘‘biological tides” which “cause cyclic changes in water flow among the fluid compartments of the body” and shifts in hormonal and other bodily functions.
He says that this produces “normal” variations in emotional tone and individuals already predisposed, “more or less severe emotional disturbance.”
Dr. Lieber conducted his experiments by feeding into an IBM computer data on all homicides committed in Dade
County (1,949 cases) between 1956-1970.
His statistics indicate that the homicide rate peaks during the full moon, tapers off and

Called Phenomenal
Soaring Increase In Ticket Sales
.. . attributed to Texa* victory
Last year 250 season tickets were sold to University of Miami football games.
This year 3,000 season tickets have been sold.
The enormous increase has been attributed to the Cane’s 20-15 victory over Texas, and group of UM coeds.
The UM coeds are U Girls.
They are part of a program instituted last year to promote community interest in UM’s athletic program.
Student Athletics Coordinator, Hal Rosenbluth, said the U Girls speak to clubs such as the Jaycees or Kiwanis trying to get community support.
“The University is not an oasis isolated by itself, we need the community and they need us,” he said.
“Ticket sales for all upcoming UM games have been phenomenal. I think a lot of people are embarrassed that they didn’t go to the Texas game,” he
said.
The Hurricanes next home game is October 12, j against Boston College.

off then rises to a secondary peak just after the new moon.
To make sure that his findings were not a local coincidence, he did the same study in Cleveland, Ohio.
This second experi-m e n t yielded similar results only the peak periods were a few days after the full and new moon.
“I was first disillusioned,” he said. But relief came in the findings of Dr. Frank Brown.
Experimenting in Chicago in 1953, Dr. Brown found that the metabolic activity of hamsters peaked a few days after the full and new moon.
A hamster curve coincides with the Cleveland murder curve.
Since Chicago and Cleveland are nearly in the same geographical attitude, Dr. Lieber speculated that as one moves farther north of the equator the timing of peaks progressively occurs after the actual moon phases.
As one moves south, he says that the peaks should occur progresses page 2

Phil Medico was appointed Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) vice president Monday.
In a surprise move, USBG president Scott Anderson submitted Medico’s name to the student senate. He was ratified by a vote of 18-0.
Medico said he was told about the appointment shortly before the meeting began.
"Scott called me at home about an hour before the meeting. I didn’t know until then.
"I think Sctott made a wise decision. With Scott, Steve Machat (USBG Treasurer) and myself working together with the students, student government will be a definite strength this year.”
Medico's appointment was made because of the Aug. 30 resignation of former Vice President Marjorie Feldman. Ms. Feldman was elected to the position in USBG elections last May, edging past Medico by 86 votes.
Anderson attempted to fill the vacancy two weeks ago with the nomination of Kenny Gardner. The Senate rejected him.
Anderson said, “In the past two weeks, after my first nominee was turned down, I was watching the students who wanted the office of VP, trying to find out which person I felt was best-qualified and most sincere. In this two-week period, Phil and I worked together, and I explained to him how I viewed the position of vice president.
"While working with him, I realized that Phil could provide the students with the best Students' Rights Program available. I’m sure In the weeks ahead, the students will see that Phil Medico will effectively represent them.”
When Ms. Feldman resigned, she asked for "a woman to be chosen but especially not Phil Medico.” After hearing of Medico’s appointment, she said “I think if the students wanted Phil they would have voted for him. I don’t think they want him.
“My choice was Pat Glowaski, and I think Scott should have put her in front of the Senate. I can't esti-mate Phil's capabilities

because I don’t know him well, but I wish him all the luck.”
Medico said he plans to spend all his time working on the students' rights program.
"As Vice President, I see my main function is to uphold the Students’ Rights Commission as the acting chairman. I think the Students’ Rights Program is one of the most important functions student government has to offer to its constituents.
"The Students' Rights Program needs unity to survive. I think everyone involved with student government should ba involved in the program, and this is what I aim for," Medico said.
Medico said he did most of the groundwork over the summer for the Students’ rights Program.

New Gates Installed

Illegal Parking Curbed By Fence
By ANDREA KAYE
Hurricane Reporter
A gate installed adjacent to the 960 residence hall complex is the first of a series of fences to prevent illegal parking around the married housing area and 960 complexes.
The gate at 960 is mainly for postal, food and vending machine deliveries, which were blocked by cars parked in designated loading zones. Housing Director James Grimm said.
“We wanted to have this project completed at the beginning of the school year", Grimm said, "but we needed a Coral Gables city variance.”
Grimm said he expects the remaining fencing to be in-stalled by next week, depending on the results of a City Council meeting today. This should control parking on the lawns near building 16 across from 960 he said.
The project, he said, has cut down traffic in the load->
ing zones considerably.
The area inside the which is locked after r ing deliveries are comp contains parking spaces ianated for service vehid
Students illegally pi with their cars locked i: the gate, can get emerg keys at the 960 complt from maintenance.
