Rat Prices Deemed
By STACY VEZOS Humean* Cm itributor
Is the Rathskeller, the newest additioi 1 to UM’s large host of dining places, really a rip off?
In last Frida; /’s ’Cane, 39 percent of t ae students polled felt that: Rat prices were unfair.
A brief st u d y of restaurants surrounding the campus illustrtcted that Rat prices, compared to similar items on other menus, were far below average.
Most restaurants in the area have bee n selling four-ounce hambu rgers for ten cents over the price of a five ounce hamburj ger at the Rat.
None of tl tie restaurants
polled offered the expensive French Fries now being served in the Rat at 30 cents for a large portion.
The less expensive “crinkle” and "smooth” cut French Fries are being sold in smaller portions at a cost of 40 cents in restaurants surveyed.
The Reuben sandwich is sold for $1.25 at the Rat and for not less than $1.65 anywhere else.
.loe Pineda, Rat manager, revealed on Friday that provisions are now being made to open the second floor of the beer hall as a self-service operation.
A host of cold sandwiches.
cold drinks and beer will be offered for those who are pressed for time and money.
Pineda made it clear that he was not going to raise food prices to meet the rising cost of food.
Another common complaint is that service in the Rat at its best is mediocre.
As a remedy for the problem, the Rat appears to be in great need of an intensive training program for all personnel.
Students on this campus seem to be forgetting that those "inadequate” waiters and waitresses are working for only 80 cents an hour (the going rate) and that man
cannot survive on bread alone.
Many of the personnel said that they usually receive little or no tip, no matter how well they may serve a customer.
In answer to another common question, is the Rat losing money? Pineda answered “this is far from the truth, believe me."
Pineda feels that with an increase in student interest the Rat will be able to increase its profit margin.
If the Rat is to survive the rising food costs it is going to need more student participation.
And wasn’t that the original goal? A place for UM to socialize.

The Yampolskys were on campus this past Friday as guest speakers at the University Forum, sponsored by Student Struggle for Soviet Jews and the Hillel Jewish center.
Meeting with students at an informal rap session on the Rock, the Yampolskys answered questions and told of the horrors of being a Jew in Russia.
“I’ve had many incidents with the KGB (soviet secret police) and I’ve been arrested twice,” Mark Yampolsky said, “Once for going to synagogue.”
The synagogue is a gathering place for youths to get information about Israel and the KGB didn't like it so they started arresting everyone, Yampolsky said.
Another time he was arrested for bringing a wreath to a cemetery where 100,000 Jews had been killed by the
Nazi’s.
“We're always followed by the KGB and our phones are tapped. Many of the KGB are familiar faces to me, they even peek in my windows to spy,” Yampolsky said.
Eleanor Yampolsky has been arrested once for giving information over the phone to the outside world.
“Besides questioning you, the KGB spends a lot of time keeping you frightened," she said, “they’re always right there constantly watching you, from early niom to late night.”
Asked why they continue to give information over the phones if they know the consequences, Mark explained, “its dangerous sometimes, but necessary. Without the phone calls there would be no help.”
Yampolsky said he encourages people to call the Soviet Union, “the people want the
calls.”
Several students then asked what we as Americans could do to help.
“Send packages and work on freeing one particular family,” Yampolsky sàid
He explained that the Russians will not discuss the

AIESEC Provides Opportunity For International Summer Jobs
Bv Nancy Rains
Hurricant Contributor
An opportunity for students to spend their summers working in another country is the name of the game for AIESEC, a fastgrowing international organization. AIESEC, with its chapter at UM, stands for the French translation of the International Association of Students in Economics and Management.
Although AIESEC (pronounced “eye-sec”) has been active in Europe for over 23 years, it has only recently started to grow in the United States. Even so, it is now the largest organization of its kind in the country with over 70 local committees at American colleges and universities.
AIESEC’s main purpose is to set up work-traineeships offering practical management experience to complement the student’s theoretical education and enable him to gain this experience in the country of his choice. Students from all over the world are matched up with businesses with an interest in helping these
students attain practical knowledge in management and economics.
Students can spend a summer or any length of time working in andther country as part of the traineeship exchange. The possibilities of jobs in any field business oriented or not, are endless. Almost any type of job opportunity and choice of country can be satisfied by the efforts of this international organization.
AIESEC, now operating in over 63 countries, has administered the exchange of over 70.000 quality trainee-ships. By arranging such an exchange, AIESEC is working to promote international understanding and cooperation while aiding in the social and economic development of the world. It also strives to increase the dialogue and cooperation among managers, students, and academics.
The local committee at UM was formed over four years ago, and is increasing in size and membership each year. As well as having members that participate in the overseas traineeship program, tha
UM’s local committee also has students who are involved in other aspects.
Many students are working to get businessmen in the
Miami area interested in the program and consider taking in a trainee from another country. This would enable a student from the U.S. to take
a traineeship in his country.-As well as raising interest Continued On Page 2
SAFAC Deadline Friday For Funding Applications
By DAVE TEPPS
Of Th* Hurrican* Staff
The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) has set Friday as the deadline for all organizations to submit appropriation requests. SAFAC, possibly one of the most forgotten SBG committees, controls the purse strings for both SBG and every other UM club and organization.
The SAFAC budget for next year has been estimated at more than $250,000 in usable funds. The money will be allocated by SAFAC to many groups In May, after all requests have been considered. These funds are accrued through UM student activity fees.
SAFAC is composed of several student representatives and administration advisors. Three students are picked at random from the sophomore, junior and senior classes by computer.
The SBG treasurer, an athletics representative and a spokesman from the UM media (currently WVUM) are also part of SAFAC.
One black student, and one Spanish-
i	«1
speaking student, along with Bill Sheeder, student activities chairman and Sid Pickett, UM financial advisor round out SAFAC.
“Only two groups have so far applied for funds,” Cheryl MacGaunn, SAFAC chairman said. “Those are the Hurricane Skiers and Hurricane Honeys.
“Our meetings are open to anyone, every Friday at 3 p.m.,” MacGaunn added.
Several steps are necessary to obtain funds from SAFAC:
•	A group requesting funds must be a registered UM organization.
•	The organization must then fill out a SAFAC request form, available in S225 of the Union.
•	An organization must then give an oral presentation explaming the need for funding.
"We have funded Carni Gras, homecoming, SBG, United Black Students, the music department, and many other organizations this year," Mi s MacGaunn said. The Rathskeller also gets a large chunk of SAFAC funds.

Fought

At least one student at UM is not ready to accept a tuition increase without a fight, especially an increase he terms unnecessary and avoidable.
l'M Law student Dick Hayes is leading a drive protesting the impending tuition hike of $100 per semester for undergrads and $150 per semester for law students.
A student bar senator, Hayes has been collecting pledges from law students for non-participation in the UM Alumni association for at least ten years following graduation. This move, according to Hayes, could seriously cut endowments and force UM officials to review the latest tuition increase.
"We’ve got petitions circulating protesting the raise. I believe that if the undergraduates did this (pledge not to contribute as alumni), it would shake up the administration enough to make them rescind the raise,” Hayes said.
“Between 25 and 50 students have already signed the pledge in only a couple of days,” Hayes said. “We expect at least 200 by Friday.
“We’ll present these signatures to the trustees and to Henry King Stanford at the Rock Friday. This will show that we're determined not to accept a raise," Hayes said.
Especially upsetting to the law student is the additional $50 a semester increase.
".Stanford has said that tha law school Is making money, not losing money," Hayes said.
Hayes thinks that the economic approach is the most effective protest possible, as it is always the most meaningful to the Board of Trustees.
“The (tuition) raise is due to mismanagement,” Hayes said. “Hie university wastes a lot of money. Reasons for the raise are very shallow.”
Hayes suggested that a new look in the administration might help brighten th* financial picture,
“We need an outside management team to examine the financial aspects of the University. Maybe we need a management man for president," Hayes said.
Although UM officials have pointed to attrition as a factor behind the tuition
