“I’m pretty much fed up" is how Pearson Hall resident Ron Hclf described his frustration after the apparent theft of $750 worth of drum equipment from hi. dorm's special music room — a room he proposed and remodeled himself just months ago.
Helf, a junior communications student, said he discovered most of his drum equipment missing from the Mahoney -Pearson music room Tuesday.
“All they left me was two tom-toms and the bass drum," Helf said.
UM security said they are investigating the burglary, but have matte no progrès»
yet.
“The gentleman's property was stolen ten days prior to reporting it,” security said. They explained that llelf said he had been ill, so he hadn’t checked his equipment tor a long period of time.
"1 was the only one stupid enough to leave (my equipment) in there," Helf admitted sheepishly.
He said he thought it was safe, as it is necessary to log in at Mahoney-Pearson, and to show an I.D. card before entering the room
But UM security said a lot of people enter the room without signing any log; they're “not so strict about it,” security said. Nevertheless, they are checking on all the people who did sign in to use the room.
The "room” is a specially remodeled area to play music in, complete with soundproofed walls, air conditioning, blacked-out windows and thick white carpeting It’s use is restricted to Mahoney-Pear son residents, as a place to practice and jam.
It opened up around spring break last year, and there were always plenty of people in it, Helf said.
He installed "about 11Q0 square feet of cork" In the walls himself, Helf said. He was funded through dorm funds, but did all the work alone.
A WVUM disc jockey who takes dtum lessons on the side, Helf was unhappy about the music room's status even before the apparent robbery.
"People really have a disregard for the room," Helf complained, referring to those who tossed around cigarette butts, or otherwise abused it. “The place ib a wreck."
B#lf said he used to go in regularly and clean up with a broom, hut now says he'll just "let it go.”
His equipment fully insured, Helf said he'll be all right, unless the insurance company takes off for depreciation.
"Then I'm dead," he said,

Professor Of Psychology Inleresled In His Students
By IYNNE SCHEWE
Of The Hurricane SteH
"I haven’t traveled to all parts of the world or done anything famous like some other professors here have done. I'm really not particularly interesting.” insisis Dr. John Rosen, assistant professor of psychology.
"I do play ping-pong once in a while, though."
A teacher of Psychology 101 and known for the axiom, ‘correlation is not causation,’ Rosen said he thinks of himself as a strong teacher.
"Some teachers feel they don't have to help with anything except the ideas out of books.
"As a psychologist and teacher, I see myself as having a bigger potential to help students in general. I am in a hotter position to help students overcome anxieties.
"I like to relate to students as people and bring up ideas relating to here and
now."
Out of his classes of 500, however, only a few students will tell him that his approach to teaching has had an impact on them, Rosen said
"To get students to come up to talk to me, I am so told, I yell at them. It is very difficult to Invite students into one's office. Perhaps they are realtively unsure of attitude."
Rosen chose to go into the field of psychology for a number of reasons.
"I knew I always wanted to be a scientist. When I was young I saw a guy wearing a white technician's coat and on his lapel was a button which said 'innior scientist.’ The whole thing struck me as being really different.
"I found psychology an open field. I could see what a psychologist did and could begin designing experiments. It was an area in which I would become actively involved."
Rosen received his psychology degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He chose to go into teaching, as opposed to being a , hnician, because "to he a clinician you have to accept a certain way of doing things."
“To make the kinds of decisions that a clinician has to, he has to have confidence

Tuition May Rise
Meal Plan Will
By MARCEE TAXMAN
Assistant N»ws Editor
Attending UM next semester is going to he more expensive. With the pnssi-bilitv of a tuition hike, UM officials already admit there will he an increase in the cost of the Meal Plan.
“It will hopefully be within the next month or two that we will find out if luition will go up or not,” Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs William F. McLaughlin says.
“Historically, tuition has gone up $200 everv other year hut we will do what we can to hold It as low as possible. We are agraitl that when we complete the tally of income and outgo we only be made up by tuition," UM President Dr. Henry Kirin Stanford said.
“There will be no decisions made until we establish income from all sources available to UM," President Stanford said.
"We are calculating what the preseut tuition will produce. Then we try to determine the number of students that are paying present tuition and then make estimates to determine what next year's tuition should l>e.
'Then we look at the various facets of the revenue picture — the endowment income, income from overhead and research grants, auxiliary enterprises, business-like activities such as the bookstore, food service, university hospital, clinics, pool, the Student Union and estimates about expenditures and fixed salaries," Dr. Stanford said.
“We have to consider what salary increases Ihe university can provide.
T hen we have to estimate the cost of utilities, electricity, water, and then the cost of library books, equipment and supplies. After all these projections we then look to see if we have to raise the tuition or not,” Dr. Stanford said.
"The university administration makes recommendations and the Board of Trustees has to approve all fees charged by them,” he said.
Dr. Stanford feels if there is an inrrease in the tuition cost it will not have a sig-
nificant effect on enrollment.
"In the late I960's we had to raise Ihe tuition but there was still an increase in UM's enrollment," he said.
“The tuition is the mainstay of our income. We get no money from the state and except for medical, we have to rely on it,” Dr. Stanford said.
He said when compared to other universities our tuition is relatively lower than most private institutions in the country.
"If UM was a state college wr wouldn’t have the wonderful mix of students.

A $2 6 million program to renovate the dorms has been proposed by the Board of Trustees’ subcommittee for student affairs, Housing director James Grimm said.
“After all Ihe physical problems last spring at Eaton Hall, we decided to look at all the residence halls. In June a report was given to Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. William Butler," Grimm said.
“ This program is justifiable because it is what we would need In upgrade dorm facilities to Iheir original stature as well as increase the facilities to what studenls are accustomed to.”
He said some improvements are to carpet loting cs, put in new lights, replace furhiture, replace all bathroom facilities in apart ments, add lighting in Eaton Hall and pave some parking lots.
"We did not recommend that rental fees he increased. The University will hopefully find the majority of funds from sources other than dorm rental increases. An increase in student's dorm rental was not in the proposal," Grimm said.
"Malicious damage has
as SO per cent of our freshman come from out of state. We have a great geographic representation. The state wouldn't have this because legislators oppose the support from out of slate students in state institutions," Dr. Stanford said.
"Ihe tuition doesn't pay for all costs for educating students. It only pays for 52 per cent and the rest comes from other sources," Dr. Stanford said.

Cheap Bike Rental On Campus Soon To Be Realized
By LESLIE TANNENBAUM
HurriCAn P#ror«er
If you need a bike tomorrow, one day next week, or ■for a weekend hiking trip, but don’t want to huv one, your problem has been solved. The Bicycle l oan Agency will begin operation at UM in the very near future.
“1 think we can open within the next two weeks, but that's with a little bit of prayer and a lot of optimism," said the director of the agency, freshman Andy Meyer.
The agency now owns 11 black, fixed-speed Raleigh bicycles. They are housed in a closet in Pearson Hall and will soon he moved to the exercise room there.
Once begun, the agency will be open four different hours a day, seven days a week, to check out a bicycle.
There will he a minimal rental fee of 50 cents for four hours, with a maximum tee of $1.50 for the pnlire day. Weekend and semester rate* will also be available.
'The fee should be enough for the purchase of additional bicycles," Meyer said. This would make the agency self-sustaining.
Ihe idea for the agency came nut of the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) Senate. Red tap# slowed down ils actual formation. It took time to get storage room for the bicycles, to draw up a valid contract and
to get insurance.
After receiving Senate approval, the hill was sent to the students, who voted on whether or not to give 13 cents per semester front the Student Activities Fee to the agency. The votes were overwhelmingly in favor of the Idea, Meyer said.
The Bicycle loan Agency fairs one problem. The agency has not been able to find any work-study students willing to actually sit at the ddsk and rent out the hikes.
Once students are found, they will be taken to Dade Cycle, where the bicycles were bought, and trained to make minor bicycle repairs. Ihe agency will purchase bikes continuously.
If no students are found in the near future, the agency 7 will start running ads in the Hurricane and renting the bikes out for the semester. Mnyrr saiil.
"I think its pretty cheap tn get a hike for 50 cent* and go anywhere you want." Meyer added. "I think tha program will work.”
