said.
“In addition, we are trying to expand the lecture committee to make it truly a University Lecture Series, by giving representation to the Employe Senate and graduate and law students.”
Presently, the Lecture Committee consists of faculty, administrators and undergraduate students.
"We are also trying to get some freebies at the University for some lecturers are not allowed to accept fees, such as Frank Borman, Governor Reubin Askew and Vice-President Gerald Ford,” Silverman said.
The list of potential lecturers at UM this year includes •lack Anderson, Julian Bond, Ralph Nader, Lenard Niemoy, Senator Henry Jackson and Dan Rather.
“More or less, we are hoping to have at least one lecturer a month. However, we will need more funds to keep topflight speakers coming. Currently we only receive roughly 20 cents per student per semester," Silvernuu
said.

The Lecture Series will be working with approximately $13,000 this year.

Smaller Si nielli re Claimed
Mammoth Knight Center Hotel Han Scratched

Plans to build a $ 12-mi I-linn, 400-room hotel on the UM campus as part of the James I . Knight International Center have been cancelled by Inter-Continental Hotels Corporation. However, University officials say a smaller residence hall will be built instead.
John Sutherland, president of the chain's Ameri-cas-Caribbean Division said there were several reasons lor the cancellation.
One major reason was the rate of cost escalation The $ 12-million figure, which was quoted 3 years ago, would have been as much as 25 per cent higher, he said. Furthermore, gain-
ing financing for the hotel was crippled because the Coral Gables City Commission voted to limit guests to only those people who were connected with the university. He said institutions financing a project like this dislike such limitations.
"That, coupled with increased cost and the fact that it didn’t show any possibility of paying the debt
service for the first 10 years was whai made us reach this decision.” he said.
At the time the plan was first approved last year, Sutherland said the hotel would not compete with local hotels for business. There had been some opposition to the construction of the hotel by local hotel owners who feared the competition. However, with

this assurance by Sutherland and UM, the Coral Gables City Commission granted permission to build the structure.
"The entiie community will benefit from the construction,” Sutherland said last year. There will be no promotion or advertising locally for business. We’re not really interested in getting business. The educational and training aspect is really what is important to us," he said.
Last month, he said, "I really do regret that il ended up this way. Bui it's basically that the inflated cost and limitations made It a non-v table project."
Dr Robert Allen, dean of the school of continuing studies, said UM will borrow money for a 250-275 room residence hall, which will he built on an aban doned sewer site on Ponce do Leon Boulevard.
Officials say this facility
will cost between $(>-$8 million.
UM President Henry King Stanfoid said the school does not have the money available now, “hut we’ll borrow it to finance the construction of the residence hall.”
The Knight Center was conceived in 1971 when the James L. Knight Charitable Trust gave UM $3-million. UM officials say its construction will provide opportunities for student employment in various fields including communications and hotel administration. Originally, it was estimated the center would cost approximately $16 million.
The Center will include a two-story building which will house the learning-conference center, auditorium amphitheatre, seminar rooms, administrative and supporting audio-visual services.
The original plan for the 400-room hotel would have made il more than a residence hall II was to have been an educational labora tory facility, with additional space for faculty offices, class rooms, for experimental kitchen leaching,

Students approved a $4 boost in the activity fee Iasi vear to finance a 3-story intramural building. Now lhal the structure is planned to be much smaller, student govern ment is asking whether $4 is too much to equip and maintain the fieldhouse.
In fact. Undergraduate Study Body Government (USBG) is asking the campus sports and recreation department to answer their query before school starts. (The fee hike won't take effect until spring semester regardless.)
Ken Gardner. USBG president, said legislation by the student senate forcing a new estimate of maintenance costs for the $1 million fieldhouse is a move to protect students from getting ripped off
The three-phased construction on the building begins October 28. Phase one will consist mainly of a gym and exercise rooms. The building, according to Norm Parsosn, head of campus sports and recreation, can he expanded later.
Use of the student activity fee to maintain and equip the building was overwhelmingly approved by a student reterendum last year. But, Gardner said, that was to maintain a structure that was slated to he much larger.
Gardner has complained that not even the campus sports department is aware of what the operating costs will he for the new, smaller structure.

Butler directed Parsons to eolisl the aid of UM business manager William McLaughlin and staff architect Charles Coiterman in making the estimate.
