              UBOG Rescinds Graduate School Represen
By STEPHEN COAN
Of The Hurrken« staff
In an atmosphere of confusion the Union Board of Governors (UBOG) voted Thursday to rescind the Graduate School's seat on UBOG apparently because of their refusal to pay an activity fee.
Six UBOG members voted to remove the Graduate School’s seat, while three opposed and four abstained from voting.
UBOG representative from the Graduate School Association (GSA) David Kramer said. “I expected to lose our seat."
Last week, Kramer was appointed to the UBOG programming and service development committee to try to strike a compromise between the graduates and the Union.
Kramer said, "Instead of trying to work it out, they’ve (UBOG) turned their hack and they didn’t even leave us an ex-officio non-voting seat.”
Undergraduate Student Body Government
President Ken Gardner disagreed with Kramer’s assessment of the situation.
"The students have had their seat on UBOG since 1960. They have been willing to use all the programs, services, and activities provided for by the Union yet have been unwilling to pay for it.” Gardner said.
"The law students, while having no representation at all to UBOG, have been willing to negotiate a fee, now they deserve a seat on UBOG.”
“1 feel the entire funding system of the student activity fee is entirely inequitable for the undergraduates. We pay, and everyone else gets to use the services," Gardner said.
Also at this meeting, a seat was added for the
Law school who voted an overwhelmingly 336-81 to pay a mandatory $4 activity fee for next semester.
UBOG’s recent actions were a culmination of events, which have been building up for several months, on the subject of graduate students being charged an activity fee.
UBOG Chairperson, Alec Stephens said, "I wanted the administration to make the Graduate and Law students pay an activity fee and UBOG
was left with no choi did not act.”
Earlier in the meet ment was passed outli:
members.	__	_______
The amendment reads, “The Whitten Union is an organization whose members are currently enrolled students paying an activity fee which con-iributes directly to the operation and or amortization of the Whitten Union . .
Student Activities Director, Howard Winni-man said. “1 hate to see UBOG refuse to seat UM community members because they refuse to pay an activity fee."

A false bomb threat forced the School of I ngi nernng and Environmental Design (SKI D) to be evacuated Friday afternoon. Security said there was no ap parent motive for thp call.
The office of Dr. Howard Harrenslein. Dean of si ! I), was notified of the bomb threat by a telephone call at 12:1.*» p.m. An unindenlified male voice said a bomb would go off at l:.T(l p.m. Security was notified immediately and the building was evacuated.
“Dr Harrenslein wasn't in when the call was received. When we notified him at home, he ordered the building evacuated. His first concern was for the slu deni's safely.'' said a sec re tarv for SEED.
"The cooperation of the students in keeping older and following directions was helpful in making the evaluation trouble free," she added.
"This has been the third bomb threat since September." said Captain Anika of Campus Security. “The crew that we sent in has had experience with this thing before. Every room, closet, venl and any other possible hiding spot was searched and nothing was found," he said.
Most of the evacuated crowd was allowed to sit on the lawn in front of the building.
Boh l.efkowitz. Architecture student, commented
today's
that "the bomb area should he cleared better (the students should be moved farther from the building),
someone might get hurl if ihe bomb goes off.” Captain Anika responded. "The crowd was sufficiently re-
moved from the scene so that no injury would occur if a bomb did explode in the
building.”

In his annual report on the 1973-74 budget released Wednesday, President Henry King Stanford said deeding enrollment and in flation have driven the uni versity a half million dol lars in (he- red.
Standard said It was "a blow tn administrative ego, which had prided itself on winding up in the black eight times over the previous 11 years of my presidency.”
The financial statements prepared by Haskin and Sells accounting firm show that UM's revenues for Ihe 1973-74 school year were $560,950 short of the $56,969,130 in expenditures.
Although tuition hikes have not been confirmed by administration officials, in the report Stanford said "a youthful University of Miami is more heavily reliant upon undergraduate tuition income than are many of our sister private universities."
The president also blamed UM’s current financial woes on raising utilily costs which were $600,000 above budget estimates.
"The university’s total electric bill for the year was nearly $2.2 million or $5,977 per day," he said. “For telephone service we paid almost .$1.3 million, or $3,521 per day.”
Stanford said lie was surprised by the detail and concerned that "procedure" had not notified him of the gloomy picture earlier in the fiscal year.
He said he imposed an employment freeze in January, a device that in the past has enabled the university to "eke out a balanced budget when revenues were below estimates."
However, he said Ihe university was able to save only 50 per cent of Ihe dollars anticipated this lime.
"Creative Stress-Making the Most of Hardship," is the theme of Stanford's report and explores ways in which the university can make the most of present institutional trends.
"We must try the repackaging ol academic programs to make (hem attractively different to non-tradltional college persons,” he said.
A decline in enrollment after the war in Vietnam
and a growing tendency for college age persons to select vocational types of post-secondary education have forced the university to create educational programs to fit the needs of a larger cross section of society, he said
Stanford said such trends as shorter work weeks, increasing corporate sabbatical programs, more federally subsidized programs for military personnel, retraining needs created by knowledge explosions, the needs of the “stop in-stop out" student and the developing interest of older citizen "whit«- hair" programs would have to he funneled
into educational programs.
The report also states that UM received SI 1.5 million in cash gifts as compared lo $10.9 million Ihe previous year.
Alumni contributions. In-said, amounted to $1,759,444 while from wills and bequests the university received cash gifts of $1,168,-699, a slight decrease from $2 million the previous year.
Stanford eulogized the late Baron deHirsch Meyer for his $600,000 contribution for the law school expansion program and his work as chairman of the Endowment Committee.
"The amount of all expectations from wills recorded since Baron organized the Endowment Committee in 1964, and served as its only chairman, approaches $85 million," the president said.
Stanford also noted that UM received $34.7 million in federal grants during the year, lie said the medical school accounts for 50 per cent of all grants and contracts received by the university.
"in the south, UM ranks second only to Duke among academic recipients of federal funding and 29th nationally," he said
Lake Osceola
Gels Suspended Sentence
By ANDREW MAC HOVER
Humean« Reoorler
UM received a suspended sentence on a charge of polluting Lake Osceola with grease overflow from the Ibis and Hurricane cafeterias in the Student Union last month.
The case goes back to 1970 when UM was investigated for faulty grease traps behind the kitchen area of the Student Union. Instead of correcting the situation, the university was allowed to build a dike system to control the overflow. I his is in violation of the Dade County Health Code« section 10-6.
In 1972 Jim O’Boyle, then under the employment of the Dade County Pollution Control Board (PCB), informed L'M President Dr Henry King Stanford, that the case against the university was reopened.
The PCB received a letter from UM assuring overflow control so it would not reach the lake through a nearby dram.
Three months later, O'Boyle did an investigation and discovered nothing was done to correct the overflow.
During this time O'Boyle said he was threatened with being fired if he did not get. off the case and leave the university alone.
In May 1973 reports started coming in concern-
ing lake pollution. In order
to stop him from writing
these reports, O’Boyle said, the PCB assigned O'Boyle to full night time duty. His reports continued to come
in.
In Ihe summer of 1973, 12 charges of polluting Lake Osceola were filed against UM. These were thrown out of court on a legal technicality.
In September 1973 O’Boyle was fired from his job with the PCB hv Colin Morrisev, PCB head and O'Boyle's boss.
Despite O'Boyle's firing he has continued to write reports exposing ai tual cases of the PCB's incompetence
“The UM case is a 'classic' example,” O’Boyle said.
In October 1973 three more charges were filed against UM. On January 8, 1974 UM was found guilty on one account of polluting lake Osceola, for which they received a suspended sentence on October 17
In March the university was given permission by the PCB to pump the contents of the storm drain behind the kilchen into the groundwater table.
"This is not against the law itself but it is still quite possible for pollution from tile grease traps to bypass the dike system behind Ihe kitchen and then get into the storm drain. If this
were then pumped into ihe ground the university
would be guilty of violating Pollution Control Ordinance I 24-11(3),” O’Boyle said.
This ordinance states, "It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge sewage, industrial wastes, cooling water, solid wastes, or any other wastes into the surface water, tidal salt water estuaries or the ground water.”
"There is a sand filter in the pump system being employed by UM. Liven if grease were to enter the pump system it would he filtered out before it reached the ground water table," Morrissey said.
