Pollution Inspector Loses Job After Investigating University
By HERB GREENBERG Nr»« Editor
A Dade County Pollution Control investigator whose year-long investigation of Lake Osceola resulted in 12 pollution charges being filed against the University of Miami, has been fired.
James O’Boyle, 36, says he was fired from his investigator position two weeks ago because of his persistent investigation into the lake's pollution.
And, he says, “an investigation should be launched by someone into the enforcement policies of the Pollution Control office.”
Colin Morrissey, director of the Pollution Control says O’Boyle was fired “because he had little or no respect for the authority in office and he had“ little respect for the rul^s and regulations of the office.”
Morrissey said O’Boyle, Dade County’s 1972 Inspector For the Year, exceeded authority several weeks ago when he inquired with County Manager Ray Goode’s office about a grant
‘‘Thin office (Pollution Control) has allowed itself to be emasculated by the psychological stature of the University. The basic violation remains outstanding.” —James O’Boyle, former investigator
UM is asking for from the County Commission. The $31,000 grant is being sought for a proposed program of testing water quality in several Dade County lakes. Lake Osceola included.
“He couldn't understand why the University should be getting a grant on one hand, while polluting the lake on the other,” Morrissey said. “If he needed that information, he should have gone to his supervisor. It had nothing to do with his part in investigating the case.”
Morrissey said O’Boyle's trip to the County Manager’s office “was only a small part" in the firing.
“All of my people, even the supervisors, must come through me first (before going to the County Manager
or the Commission). I think it’s a common courtesy,” he said.
Several days prior to the firing, O’Boyle said, he rejected a request by Morrissey asking for his resignation.
“I did not go to the County Manager’s office. I went to see the lady in charge of the agenda.
“After the charges were filed (August 31) I went to the County Manager’s office . . . to get a copy of the proposal for my file.
“He (Morrissey) would like to make people believe I went in and sat on Goode’s lap."
“If he (Morrissey) was embarrassed by me trying to investigate this proposal ... I

Soprano Stars As Teacher
By BARBARA EPSTEIN

, The headlines acclaimed her. Critics and audiences were stunned by her: “Frequently during breath-taking arias, the capacity audience gave out to its emotions with spontaneous applause.”
Mary Henderson Buckley, once the leading soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Association has taught voice at the University since 1967.
“Give up singing?” she asked sarcastically. "I do sing! I sing all day! As far as the lights and stage are concerned, I’ve given it up, but I’ve never stopped singing!”
Now the wife of Emersop Buckley, noted conductor and artistic director of the Miami Opera Guild, she gave up a brilliant professional career.
“By 1955, I had two young sons to raise,” she said. “I’m not a ruthless person; my family came first.”
Mrs. Buckley said she had no difficulty making the transition from being an opera star to becoming a teacher!
“I was always admired by the critics for my musicianship and as a technician.
Besides having an innate voice, 1 knew what I was doing.
“I was able to impart this to my students."
As a performer, Mary Henderson was also known for her dramatic talent, in the opera “Carmen”, she overshadowed the main character with a strong, sensitive rendition of Micaela. the peasant girl. And as Madame Butterfly, she became the beautiful Oriental.
"I used to follow people on the street to watch how ‘they walked,” she confessed. "You have to become the character you’re portraying. Her personality must be in your voice and in your every movement."
This Is one of the things Mrs. Buckley .eaches the students in her Opera Workshop. Many of them are already working professionally. Their publicity photos cover the bulletin board in her studio.
"Opera is here to stay," she said. “It is not a dying art form.” “It encompasses great music and visually excites with costumes, sets and drama.
"And the talent,” she said, “the talent is here.”

was exercising my right to round out my court case . . . 1 was trying to get this investigation in total, instead of in part Ditf I, in effect, exceed my position as an inspector? I don’t think anybody ever had to think in those terms."
O'Boyle became inquisitive about possible pollution of the lake in July, 1972. A former student and UM judo instructor, he noticed the “turbid, sluggish water of Lake Osceola” while checking a mail box he still keeps on campus.
He checked records at the pollution control office and found complaints had been filed with is office concerning the lake since 1971.
O’Boyle says he traced pollution of Lake Osceola to the rear of the Student Union cafeteria, where grease traps were frequently overflowing and draining into storm sewers.
A month passed, a warning was issued to UM President Henry King Stanford, records show, with Stanford promising to rectify the situation.
However, O’Boyle says, the grease traps kept overflowing
In November, he sent a memo to Morissey:
“This situation s—ks,” the memo stated. “This office has allowed itself to be emasculated by the psychological stature of the University. The basic violation remains outstanding due to the University’s administrative inability to police the problem to our satisfaction. The apparent reluctance on the part of this office to move the University to compliance is intolerable and it mocks my commitment to this office as an inspector.”
He was quickly reprimanded by Morrisey, he says, for using obscene language in an official memo.
• I didn't think it was obscene. It was a Brooklyn expression," O'Boyle said.
Morrissey said O’Boyle did a good job and “was well motivated.”
However, he said, “he did an effective job on things he wanted to work on and that’s all he did an effective job on — things he wanted to work on.
"Supervisors would say they haven't seen or heard from Jim for three or four days in a row. I don’t doubt that he was out in the field working his tail off, but we like our men to come in at 8

$250,000
Donated To UM
By PHYLLIS HONIG
Auociatu Editor
A total of $250,000 has been bequeathed to the College of Arts and Sciences by the late John D. Hertz, Jr.
Dean Robert W. Hively of the College said, ‘The gift comes at a most critical time in the affairs of the College and the University and must be invested to realize a maximum return.”
Dr. Hively has proposed guidelines for departments in Arts and Sciences in deciding the use of money.
“Proposed programs must have as their first aim the interest and needs of our students," Dr. Hively said.
Any suggested use of the Hertz Fund he said must improve the retention of students in the College.
Dr. Hively said students’ best interests will be served in a proposal if the following requirements are met:
•	The money should be shared by several departments in one area of study. Joint proposals should not exceed $70,000.
•	A maximum visibility of innovation or expansion of existing programs should be provided.
•	Funding of hardware, equipment, or library aquisi-tions except as they relate to a proposed academic program will not be considered.
•	Travel funds contributing only to faculty or departmental interests will not be considered.
•	Requests relating to departmental administrative interests will not be considered.
Dr. Hively said five or six proposals have already been submitted.
“November 15 has been set as a target date for one- or two-page summarized proposals,” he said.
Hertz, he added, was not a University of Miami alumnus, merely a friend of the University.
“He also provided $50,000 to preserve the works of Lane Cooper, a Cornell University scholar in English,” he said.
Use of the Hertz Fund is subject to approval of two executors serving the estate.

Driving Habits Cause Crashes
By MARK TARGE
Of Th« Humean« Staff
We’ve seen them all at one time or another.
There is the elderly motorist, who drives super slowly, his left wheels hooked over the lane-divider to guide his steering. If he hasn't absorbed what an exit sign had been telling him in large letters, he will stop dead in the roadway or on the exit ramp while he and
his wife decide next.
what to do
There’s the motorist who stubbornly drives in the center lane of the three-lane expressway, forcing faster-moving traffic to swirl around him, or stubbornly remains in the left-hand lane blocking all drivers behind him. There is no other choice but to pass him on the right.
(A violation of Florida State law.)
There is another driver — often a young mother distracted by the youngsters in her car — who stays riveted to the center lane until she reaches her exit. Then she suddenly cuts across the outer lane to the exit ramp.
There is the student, driving three or four friends to the beach or a party, talking
away. The driver takes an active part in the conversation, turning his head whenever he has something to say to somebody beside him, or in the back seat. Just watch the car weave whenever the driver loses contact with the flow of the roads turning. Or watch the brake lights whenever he turns back to pay attention to the road.
There is the summer See page 2.
