So next time you’re watching TV take careful note. There are at least 50 companies convinced that they can solve your hair behavior problems. If their advice doesn’t work, then keep combing. It will keep you away from studying for a while if nothing else, and can give yc/u some extra time to contemplate all the other hassles of a college student, which at times can prove to be real hair raisers. Degree Deadline Today Today is the last day for making an application for degree for the Spring Semester, 1974. If you plan to graduate at the end of this semester, and have not filled out an appli- cation for degree, please go to the Registrar’s Office, Ashe Building, Room 249. By CHUCK BORTN1CK 04 Tlw Humean* stall The Council of Vice President's has voted against the Florida Public Interest Group’s (FPIRG) proposal for a fundings system. The proposal was approved by UM students last year in a petition drive and a referendum. The Council of Vice Presidents consists the five Vice Presidents of the university. They are Dr. Carl Mc-Kenry, Academic Affairs; Dr. William Butler, Student Affairs; Mr. Eugene Cohen, Financial Affairs; Mr. Ed Coll, Development affairs; and Dr. Emanuel Papper, Medical Affairs. The referendum and petition asked the students to pay a $1.50 tax during registration each semester to fund the organization. Every UM student would be a member of FPIRG, and could have the opportunity to vote for FPIRG officers and express opinions on FPIRG business. The tax would be refundable at a later date if the student did not want to participate. Linda Weeks, president of FPIRG's UM chapter, talked with Dr. William Butler, vice president of student affairs after the vote. He said the decision was based upon the advice of the University’s Legal Counsel (Mershon, Sawyer, Johnston, Dlinwody & Cole). Legal Counsel’s advice did not include any legal problems to the implementation of this proposal, only their personal reservations, Weeks said. “There was no legal basis uThis is definitely a .vtep backwards. not only for FPIRG, hut for thp students of thp university who liarp a stahp in this type of organisation as consumers and as citizens.” —l.imla Week«, FPIRG presiilenl Dr. William Butler, vice president of student affairs, said thp decision n'as based on the ad rice of the University's legal counsel. for the advice that Legal Council gave to the Vice Presidents. It was based on their own feelings against FPIRG. It just seems odd they gave personal opinion when they were only there for legal advice," said Weeks. Robert Cole, Legal Council’s representative on the FPIRG issue was out of town and unavailable for comment. “Based on the presentations which I had heard, I did not vote for the proposal," said Mr. Cohen, vice president of financial affairs. “I am not against the concept of FPIRG. The FPIRG proposal for collecting and refunding the monies is extremely awkward and mechanically difficult. The students might not have been ’ aware of the possible problems they might encounter in getting, their refund," Cohen said. Weeks said, “Students would have no problems getting refunds, the time and place would be made public. The refund proposal FPIRG presented was designed specifically to enable students to get the refund and insure against any rip-offs.” Coll indicated there were a few problems last semester with the proposed collection and refund system but it was nothing that could not be ironed out. He said, the university has the mechanics for a mandatory-refund system and it is only a matter of getting approval. He also told us that he would like to see the proposal go to the Board of Trustees, Ms. Weeks said. “They actually vetoed sending FPIRG up to the Board of Trustees for consideration," Weeks said. It is stated in the University Charter only the Board of Trustees can make any final decision on any fees collected at the university. Dr. McKenry and Dr. Papper were out of town and unavailable for comment. “No matter what, FPIRG is here to stay as long as the students keep involved. We have more determination than this university has inertia." concluded Ms. Weeks. Bookstore Cuts Costs By SKY PULFORD Of Th« Hurricane Staff One and a half years after a Hurricane investigation into UM’s book-buying policy, students have saved over Mailman Center Delivers Therapy By ELVIA THOMPSON Of The Hurricane Staff In a treatment room, a retarded child is being taught by a speech therapist to say and understand his first words. There is a mirror on the wall of the room. Behind it is a camera crew recording the session on video tape. At UM's Mailman Center for Child Development, scenes like this are commonplace. The Center’s multi-media communications system is instrumental as a learning and teaching device for the professionals and students who deal with disturbed children. All children treated at the center have been referred to the specialist by a doctor, social worker, public school system or other agency. Children treated at the center receive the benefits of an interdisciplinary team approach. That is, the child is diagnosed and treated in all aspects of his disorder, by a staff which includes physicians, therapists, geneticists, nutritionists, social workers, and other experts. It is essential to the child's treatment that these professionals from various fields understand each other. This is one way in which the Instructional Resources division serves the center — by “getting across cross-disciplinary terminology.” The staff of Instructional Resources consists of three people, John B. Miller, Jr., instructional media coordinator, Stuart Weinstein, TV-director-producer, and Jerry Schoyen, engineer. Weinstein said the terminology problem is one of the purposes of the multi-media library, another responsibility of Instructional Resources. The library is equipped with various instructional tapes, slide series and other materials for self-instruction. The library is open to any student or staff member in the University’s bio-medical complex. Through the use of the library’s self-instructional materials, a social worker, for example, who may be dealing with a child who is getting speech therapy, can learn about the therapy. In that way, the social worker can better understand the child's condition and treatment. The candid tapes made through one-way glass are also available at the library. These tapes are used -to evaluate the child’s progress through his treatment, by the instructor to criticize his own work with the child through a method called "feedback teaching," and by students to learn by observation. The parents of the child must consent to the taping of sessions. , Instructional Resource materials are also used to edu- cate parents of the children in some cases, in such subjects as nutrition. Through the use of these materials parents can better understand what is wrong with their children and how they are being treated. Weinstein said most of the materials are, or shortly will be, bilingual, especially parent-oriented materials. Graduate students in fields which deal with disturbed children receive training at the Mailman Center. These graduate students come not only from UM, but also from the University of Florida, Florida State Univer- sity, University .of South Florida, Barry College, and Miami Dade Community College. Undergraduate Communications students can intern at the Center, assisting the Instructional Resources staff in producing the tapes and various other materials. Several UM faculty members also work at the Center, especially in the fields of speech and hearing. The Center is administered by the University, and coendowed by federal grants and private foundations such See page 2, col. 1 $100,000 In purchasing textbooks. These savings have come as a result of the “Two Year Adoption Plan,” the new core of University book-buying policy. The t w o -year adoption plan means guaranteed use of textbooks by each professor for a minimum of two years. "Students were saved $100.000 in actual book costs this year because, we (bookstore) were able to give more money for used books and we had a larger inventory of used books. Therefore we had more books at cheaper prices to sell to the students," Bookstore Manager George Mitchell said. The two week investigation completed in October 10, 1972 uncovered violations of existing book buying policy, inconsistencies In book prices, cases of over-ordering and under-ordering, and instances of irresponsibility in book ordering. Carl McKenry . .. set policy Although there were only 50 faculty members involved in October ¡972, it ended up costing the UM student body more than $150,000 in bookstore losses, plus the personal monetary loss to individual students who suffered from the infractions. The investigation was the result of a complaint by bookstore manager George Mitchell regarding the number of students who were returning to the bookstore to sell hack books during September of 1972. In October, 1972, Mitchell said, "The bookstore was beseiged by requests for full refunds on books. We eventually had a list of 40 professors who were involved. I think this is the first time in the six years I have been associated here, the students actually rebelled about the costs of the books for their courses.” An example of an infraction in 1972 revealed by an examination into bookstore records showed an English professor with a class enrollment of more than 2,000 students required his class to purchase a workbook for $3.75. The workbook included 29 pages of instruction on theme composition, which previously sold in the bookstore for 25 cents, and more than 150 pages of blank composition paper which can be purchased separately for 69 cents. Therefore, the current price is a $2.80 increase on the value of the book. The Mnemosyne Publish.

J Scott Hafen .., poster tflilld By PHYLLIS HONIG Hume ail* editor In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, there is a small town called Blowing Rock. In that town stands a little music shop which specializes in an instrument called the dulcimer. Charles Rogers McGee, a native North Carolinian owns the store. For the past four years, h ’* been traveling through Florida conducting three-day workshops on how-to-build and play the dulcimer. The UM School of Continuing Education has sponsored his workshop every semester. "The dulcimer is just a fun instrument," McGee said, “rou can play It the first time you try. The dulcimer is a wooden instrument about three feet long. It has four strings attached at each end, and a hole for tone carved in it, any shape the owner desires. The history of the dulcimer goes back 4,000 years McGee said. “There are actually two different instruments called the dulcimer,” he said. “The oldest is mentioned in Daniel in the Old Testament. “Some people believe today’s dulcimer is the same one mentioned in the Bible, but I don’t go along with that theory." The second type of dulcimer was discovered by a friend of McGee’s who researched its history in college. “Around 1100 A.D. the Crusaders brought home a similar instrument from Africa,” he said. “It resembled a trap box with strings and it was played with hammers." “This instrument flourished in Northern Europe and the germ of the idea was brought over by early American settlers. “Now it’s strictly an Appalachian Instrument.” The sound of the dulcimer is somewhat peculiar. It resembles a cross between Scottish bagpipes and a harpsichord. Further information on the dulcimer may be obtained by calling McGee at 247-0976. « • -,£** s-.ar *sr*4T - Charles Rogers Mc(»ee With His Appalachian Dulcimer . .. an instrument with a 4,000 year old history and still being issed
