With finals week rapidly approaching, most students will spend their time hent bleary-eyed over text books, trying to squeeze as much information out of a hook as possible in the shortest possible time. This student, however, prefers to use the newly developed von Murt/.enbrau Studs Method.
The von Hurtzenbrau Method works on the concept (hat thoughts are lighter than air. All a student need do to achieve 100 per cent comprehension is fall asleep on an open book I he thoughts will then drift upward into the skull and become lodged in the recesses of the cerebrum, resulting in immediate

and complete understanding of the subject.
Von Hurtzenbrau has tried this amazing method out on himself to learn English and now, in his own words, ‘T find I can speak English excrementally ."
The student shown above, however, is apparently studying incorrectly, as his head is not directly upon the book. While he can expect to gain peripheral knowledge of his subject, he will not have complete comprehension, as most thoughts will rise directly upward. Remarkably enough, however, a student seated directly above him on the second floor, while studying ( al-culus, suddenly and inexplicably found himself in full command of first year Spanish.

Court Rules Havey President
B> BRI CE LEHR
Stfitor
I'he UM Student Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the f lection Commission, and has upheld the legitimacy of the April b runoff between Susan Havev and Kathy McPhee,
The ruling upholds Havey's election as Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) president.
The vote was 6-1, with Justice Beverly Wright voting in tavor of the McPhee complaint.
According to Chief Justice Arthur Manes, the main question confronting the court was the right of part time students to vote.
Quoting the USBG constitution, Article I. Section 6 (equal protection clause), Manes said ihe only requirements for voting are student status and the payment of a student activity fee.
The actual opinion of the iuurt will be written by Manes and released the first week in May.
“The opinion is very important in this case. It sets a pre-cedent for future cases,” Manes said.
President-Elect Havey said she thinks the court's decision was a good one.
"I don't feel that the complaint was a legitimate one, ror do I feel that the romplain-ers thought it was either," Havey said*
Manes went on to say that
the court was not shown that a significant number of votes which would alter the court-come were cast.
"The burden of proof was on the plaintiff, and they did not carry the burden of the proof," Manes said.
“The job of the court is to have the facts laid out and we
are supposed to put them into some sort of logical order."
Manes was referring to Mc-
Phee’s counsel Alec Domb when he summarized his case saving that the court had ihe books, and they could look for the evidence.
Kathv McPhee was unavailable for comment.
of student affairs and also Dean of Students, Butler said, was a result of that marauding felon, inflation.
“It is not to suggest that we do not need a full time Dean of Students, but we, too, have fallen victim to inflation and all divisions of Student Affairs have been asked to tighten up."
“Sheeder, who has been here 10 years, is a proven administrator and leader and his taking on both positions will not cause either him or the programs tosulter." Bullet said, said.
Artman will be the ombudsman for the Student Affairs di-
visioii and will work in all areas in general administration which will alfect alt areas ot the division.
Sheeder said he is "looking toward the new position opti rnistically, as a challenge that has potential for improving the dimensional resources lor the benefit of the student body and the l niversity community."

Mumc*n# Stall Writ*/
Hillel Jewish Student Center director Rabbi Richard Davis is leaving to assume a similar position at another university.
"1 will be University of Rochester's chaplain, ils Hillel director and area executive director." Davis said.
He said a number of candidates are under consideration for the position he is vacating, but nothing has been decided yet.
"I am leaving at the end of June and someone will be here a> the beginning of August.” he said.
Davis said he is extremely proud of his accomplishments here.
"I developed the Chaver program, a volunteer visitation program designed to bring individual University students together with many of Miami's old Jewish people," Davis said
Davis said he is impressed with the caliber of students in the program.
“We are now at the point where Hillel can develop a solid student organization with a greater amount of reach info -toe campus." Davis said.	•
Davis said the organization was re sponsible for setting the ground rules for this outreach.
“I have had a strong feeling of per sonal contact with students through counseling and advising.' Davis said.
Davis said he was grateful for the opportunity of lecturing in classrooms
"I've learned that stereotypes don't hold." Davis said "The interaction with Arab students with regard to racial is sues has been instructive, working with kids who want to be Jew and .i mien sive sense of joy that comes out of people wanting to be Jewish."
Davis said when he came here two years ago his first Ro.xh Hashanah er mon was on friendship and the importance and lack of it.
“We come to a cold campus and a warm climate," Davis said
At UM, Davis made up poster with the caption, "Get it off your che-.t and into your life" with regard to religious jewelry.
“I think that symbols are only a part of the beauty of being Jewish,” Davis said.
