Double Standard Persists In Parking Lots 6Ivory Majest ies9 Discovered To Be Human Beings Miami Hurrlcan* EbWARO GRIFFIN Replacing COMMITMF.NT25 is a new program called the Mid-Century Campaign which is designed to raise nearly $130 million in the next live years. Development Vice President Ed Coll said the details of the campaign will be announced Friday night at the 50th anniversary celebration. Most important about the new program, Patton said, is that it is also a commitment by the Trustees for direct involvement in the University. The Board also discussed the Knight International Conference Center, still in the planning stages. As part of a tremendous development project including two hotels and a convention complex, the University would have a 44,000 square foot area for use as an international cultural center. Dr. Stanford said his forthcoming annual report deals with the University’s "year of organization dispelling uncertainty." He said the report also mentions the Trustees and how they have played an invaluable role in University, affairs. The parking lot on the left is for UM administrators and faculty members. The parking lot on the right is, of course, for UM students. Physical Plant says that there is not enough money to repair the pitted lot. Administrators have been heard to complain about the warm Miami sun as they step from their cars. Students have no such luxury because they must contend with the moonlike craters (hat abound in the north of health center annex parking lot. Unfortunately, moonlike craters do not assure moonlike weather, and students too must battle the sun after they battle the pits. THE HStf MIAMI OCT 121976 ■1»! Milt Tuesday.October 12. I4>76 VoI.52No.13 I muttered a few choice obscenities early Friday morning. I ■wasn’t sure if this year’s first Board of Trustees meeting was at &30 or 9. To be sure I was in the Hurricane Office at about 8. The meeting didn’t start until 9:30. Student Government President Susan Havey and T walked into the Faculty Club anxiously looking forward to this gathering of Trustees, people known only to a select few but who comprise an integral part of the University. Jn all truthfulness, I was looking forward to lunch. After coffee and danish and speaking With various Trustees who heaped praise upon the Hurricane for coverage of the Financial Aid meeting three issues ago, we all sat down at the rectangular tables. Board Chairman Stuart Patton ran through the opening items of the agenda without taking one deep breath. They included introduction of guests (I was one), requests for excuse from attendance for various Trustees, approval of the last meeting’s minutes and then memorial resolutions for former Trustees. Then it was time for the President's report in regard to what’s been happening around the University lately. I was still eating a danish. Following the President were Executive Committee, Budget Review Committee, malpractice insurance and Ann Bates alan marcus editor Leach Eye Hospital reports. By then, the desire to have lunch had invaded some of the Trustees and the Board sped through reports on the Mid-Century Campaign, the Knight Conference Center, a couple of other things and a short presentation by Business School Czar Dr. Edward Fox who knew what he was up against. By lunchtime, it was obvious that the Trustees do more than most people realize. At these monthly meetings, the Trustees merely hear reports of their various subcommittees who meet as often as necessary on UM business. Perhaps most surprising, was that the Trustees are actually real people. Most students have the idea that the Trustees are our own Ivory Majesties. They aren't. During lunch, which wah shrimp salad (not good if you're “Kosher") a bunch of grapes, apples and fresh vegetables, we discussed the airlines industry. Carter vs. Ford and the stockmarket.. Each Trustee is successful in his particular field and throw them all together at one table, and you have a lot of experts talking about their specialties, .lames McLamore about Burger King, Don Shoemaker about the Herald, Fred Berens about the stockmarket, ad infinitum. Of course. President Stanford served as MC, something which comes naturally to him. After dessert (a peppermint blend of ice cream which was delicious and set me back on calories by a thousand,) President Havey and 1 left as we came; looking forward to the next Trustees meeting, where that will be (they change every month) and what we’ll have for lunch. 1 hope it’s not shrimp salad. 6 Areas Checked By U.S. By ALAN MARCUS Editor UM President Henry King Stanford said the University is “being subjected to reviews on six different fronts by federal agencies" in, his report to the Board Of Trustees’ last F'riday. The reviews are being conducted by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Internal Revenue Service and the General Accounting Office. HEW is reviewing several areas. They include the Financial Aid Office, University implementation of Title IX with regard to Iron Arrow, costs dealing with contracts and grants, and the way the University handles funds for disadvantaged students and programs. Dr. Stanford said. The IRS Investigation deals with a check on the policy of tuition remissions to employees, insurance for the Med School’s Professional Income Program (PIP) and various other things, the President said. The GAO review deals with the. accreditation process. Dr. Stanford said the GAO is testing accreditation credibility in response to consumer groups in California. “UM is being used as a test, not' for any reasons dealing with fault," he said. Board Chairman Stuart Patton {¡aid he welcomes the reviews. “If we are getting federal funds, then we have to be held accountable. We accept their money; we must meet HEW and IRS responsibilities," he said. The President also discussed enrollment figures, the tenure committee’s report, the open deanships in the Rosenstiel School, the College of Arts and Sciences and in the School of Engineering, and the unionization attempt by employees, the end of COMMITMENT25, the program designed to raise $25 million, and the University’s 50th anniversary. Though enrollment dropped by four per cent, Dr. Stanford said the number of credit hours for which students are enrolled dropped only one per cent. He said there were increases in the enrollments of the Business and F.ngineering Schools and decreases in the College of Arts and Sciences (nine per cent). Education (three per cent), Music (11 per cent) and Nursing (nine per cent). Enrollment in General Studies rose 20 per cent. Also discussed at the meeting were the malpractice insurance problems of the Medical School and the opening of the Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital near the Medical School. Anniversary Time Capsule Found Empty Miami Hurricane ALAN MARCUS LV1 President Henry King Stanford (righi) \ml Wsisliinl |{i\cr Dunham ...exornóle empi v hole oliere lime enfraile shoo hi ho By ALAN MARCUS Editor A time capsule embedded in the Ashe Building since 1953 was scheduled to be opened Friday noon as part of celebrating UM’s 50th birthday. However.it is empty today as a result of a prank, according to Assistant Director of Student Activities Kay Whitten. The time capsule was supposed to contain microfilm and tape recordings of 1953 homecoming events, copies of the Hurricane, a history of the University, a letter from then UM President Dr. Jay Pearson and local newspaper accounts of festivities. Whitten said she asked Physical Plant to make it easier to open fhn capsule by loosening its screws be-causeit had been painted over several times. After loosening the screws of the covering of the hole where a metal box had been placed in 1953 and removing the cover, Whitten said there was just nothing there. Assistant to the President Bryce Dunham and Helen Wilson were ' present when the discovery was COISO Elections Questioned By DEBBIE HOVIN Hurricane Staff Writ#r COISO member Riely Abdelnour has filed a formal complaint with Elections Commission Chairman Robert Mills charging that during the elections of Oct. 5 and 6: • ballot boxes were stuffed • campaigning was done illegally in several instances • the ballot box was kept in an insecure place on the night between the two election days and • there was no screening and voters had no privacy while completing ballots. “It’s very possible that the ballot boxes were stuffed. Partisan people, people who work for candidates or whatever, were operating the election and talking about the candidates right in front of the ballot boxes. It just wasn'tequal for all candidates,” said Mills. “All accusations given to Mills ■ are erroneous," said International Student Advisor Laura Morgan “The ballot boxes were not stuffed. The ballots were created by this office and each were numbered. Each number was given out in order. There were 200 ballots used and 200 ballots returned, and all were very carefully screened. "Yes, I saw some electioneering by many of the candidates close to the ballot boxes. The rules were explained to them. I told them to move and they did. It was not continued as far as I know," said Morgan. Morgan said that individuals working behind the ballot boxes were impartial anfl arbitrary. Shifts were created for the eight workers, with the box manned by two workers at any given time. “Three people have come to me complaining that the election was unfair. They came to me and said that the elections were run unfairly and they said they have several other witnesses," Morgan said. “A candidate approached me and said, ‘are you an international student?’ I don’t know who that candidate was hut he was right in front of the ballot box and he was probably telling people to ‘vote for me' as they were filling out their ballots,” said Mills. “If someone would like to contest the election ib any way let them put it in writing and submit it," said Morgan. For those who wish to file a formal complaint, a problem of jurisdiction arises due to COISO’s classification as a student organization. The power of authority which student government and its governing bodies has upon COISO is questionable. A USBG representative said “according to UM election rules and policies there was no election.” "USBG court can hand an opinion, not an order. The problem must be solved internally. COISO may go to USBG to get an opinion rendered.” said Senate Speaker Jon Tcpper. "I'm going to advise them to have their election re-run under the supervision of my election commis- sion. But I can’t order them to rerun it," Mills said. "We will have to determine what procedure we are going to use and whether we are going to use an arbitrary person. Obviously we cannot use the officers of the organization because they are the ones elected and must remain unbiased so whether we have to go to the Supreme Court on this, I don't know. The thing we must make a judgment on is >yhere this will be heard," Morgan said. Abdelnoor and the Flection Commission have already begun collecting evidence on the inadequate precautions during the elections. Eight other individuals may press charges in the near future. "In the meantime the election stands," Morgan said. "I think it is very important that, especially COISO, have a fair election. They are international students and they are here in the United States. I think we should be showing them the ideals of democracy," said Mills. made. Dunham said he was very surprised and he thinks it got "ripped oft as some sort of fraternity prank or scavenger hunt within a year or two after ihe capsule was sealed into the wall.” Whitten said it was typical of the 1950’s for this sort ot prank to happen . "They must have figured that it would he one big joke to open it up in 1976 and find nothing there," Whitten said. Chairman for the event Larry Herr up. now called chairman ot "a hole in the wall," said it was unfortunate for it to have happened lie said it was probably stolen in 1954 or 1955 by pranksters and it was just never returned. "We will do it again, but right this time with a bronze plaque welded securely over the face to insure that it’ll be there in 2001,UM’s 75th anniversary," Herrup said. In 1927, a time capsule that ¡was to he opened on the University’s 25th anniversary was placed in the Merrick Building. But during the I930's depression enterprising (or shorter of funds than most of us in this area) people came along one night with a stepladder and chisel and dug up the cornerstone, with the misunderstanding that there was gold in it. Dr. Pearson explained in the early 50s. He said that they probably took Ihe papers and destroyed them in their disappointment that there were no funds that could be spent on food and clothing. Back then Ihe administration figured that sealing the box in the wall of the Ashe Building was "impervious to gold diggers." In a speech Dr. Pearson made some predictions that were intended to be found in 1976. They included that the University may anticipate an enrollment of 25,000, the Ashe Building, then only in construction would have to he doubled or even tripled in size, and the campus would be almost covered in buildings including a library, major concert hall, basketball field-, house and buildings for each of the professional and science schools. All plans for Friday's event will be cancelled, Whitten said. Scheduled for the event were UM’s Chamber Singers, a speech by President Henry King Stanford and a gathering of many alumni along with today's administration. Local media coverage was also planned. "I wish our problems would evaporate as easily as our relics,” UM President Henry King Stanford said.
