The two executive vice presidents haven't really been here long enough for anyone to examine the effects of their actions and make judgements about them.
Dr John Green, executive vice president for Administration and Finance has been aboard since July, while Provost Dr. Clyde Wingfield has been here full-time since Nov. 1.
Both men have had enough contact with students. faculty and administrators so that initial opinions have been formed.
Most opinions are based on the "wait-and-see attitude.”
In the case of Dr. Green, most feel he has outstanding qualifications and that his impact has already been felt in several areas, the most important being the scheduled release of the University’s budget.
Most feel he is a "no nonsense man" who; will straighten out and set priorities and work' out problems with employees as well as in the budgeting area.
Green has hired a very competent staff in
terms of qualifications and abilities in order “to meet the challenges of tomorrow."
However, not all are overjoyed with Dr. Green nor some of his organization A policy controlling who can use what facilities on campus and for what purposes came from Green’s office.
Employees are unhappy because there hasn’t been much progress since the aiiti-union vote when they “put their faith in green.”
Faculty seem afraid of making judgement one way or the other and many administrators, though confident in his ability and the potential he has for improving the University, are concerned about his "means to an end.”
However, everyone is in agreement that a man like Green has been needed here for awhile. With the problems UM is anticipating. Green is expected to strengthen the University where it counts: in its wallet.

concern itself with academics through Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Clyde Wingfield.	I
Wingfield, too. brings impressive credentials to the University. It is too early to judge him on his merits but initial opinions have been formed.
The "wait-and-see attitude” is still eminent, but many are concerned about his overall relations with people
They are wary in that he doesn't listen when spoken to and others are afraid that his ego may hurt him as he establishes himself on campus.
The F'aculty Senate seemed surprised when Wingfield lectured the faculty about their responsibility.
Wingfield, however, is committed to “bringing academic excellence to the University” and that's all that matters.
The reorganization is virtually complete. All that can be done now is to wait and observe how each man handles himself when the going gets tough.
It seems, though, that if Wingfield and Green perform to their capabilities, the University in no time will feel their effects. They all should be for the better.

Iron Arrow met early in September to discuss accepting women and threatened to disband. Ill October, Stanford mer with rr*n Arrow
members to ask them to tap women. Iron Arrow decided to put a vote on the agenda for the next meeting (tonight) while seeking an injunction against the ruling
In 1972 and 1975 Iron Arrow voted against tapping women into the group.
Dr. Stanford said he had written letters to all Iron Arrow members explaining the University’s position on the case.
According to Title IX. UM must substantially support an organization before HEW can step in
Iron Arrow and Benedict have contended that Iron Arrow doesn't
receive substantial aid from the University
Benedict has said the reasons Iron Arrow doesn't want to lap wom^n are beuiuir liuy are oving forced lo on if and hrnmw of thr Seminole
tradition on which Iron Arrow 1.1
based.
"If women were forced upon us, it would destroy our level of activity, we would lose the high standards felt for us in the community and we would lose our membership in the Seminole Indian tribe," Benedict said.
Benedict said the courts haven't yet set a date to hear the-case but a preliminary injunction was thrown out of court	*
One Iron Arrow member said that if the organization does decide to tap women, it should change its name because it wouldn't be Iron Arrow any more.
found guilty of forging a signature on his financial aid application and has been expelled from school as a result, a USBG source has told the Hurricane.
According to the source, Clarke has appealed the decision and the case will be reviewed by an administrative panel today.
Assistant Dean of Students William McCoy said he was "not allowed lo release any information” because only the student involved could make a decision to release any information on the case.
Informed student government sources told the Hurricane that Clarke has denied the charges in private but refuses to discuss the case publicly because it could hurt his chances if he files suit against the University in the future.
Meanwhile. Clarke is retaining his position as SR A director and is attending class.
McCoy did sav that Clarke is appealing the resuits of a hearing held earlier this semester. He would not say what the results of that hearing
were.
The appeal will be heard by I.aw School Dean Dr. Soia MentschiRoff if Clarke is contesting the procedural method used in the first hearing
If the appeal questions the severity of the penalty. Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William Butler will hear the case.
"There is a meeting coming up, that's all I'm going to say," Clarke said.

Iron Arrow Chief John Benedict has charged "top level University administrators" with pressuring Iron Arrow members who work for the University to vote to accept women under the threat of losing their jobs.
The vote, scheduled for tonight, is the culmination of a five month attempt by Iron Arrow to overturn a department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW) ruling forcing the University to either throw Iron Arrow off campus or make them accept women into the society.
Benedict said he would not release the names of people involved but added "there has been indications of pressure from the upper levels of the University to influence tonight’s vote," Benedict said."
"Pressuring the vote is just going too far." Benedict said.
UM President Henry King Stanford was out of town but his assistant Bryce Dunham labeled the charges as "absolutely false."
"Neither I nor the President have told anyone anything," Dunham said.
Benedict said everyone should consider lapping women in his own mind and vote according to their ctmacioncc.
"If the past Is any indication, the vote to tap women will fail," he said
HEW’s investigation into Iron Arrow began in 1973 after local feminist leader Roxcy Bolton accused Iron Arrow of discriminating against women and said its rituals were demeaning to Indians.
HEW threw out the Indian complaint but found Iron Arrow guilty of discrimination. HEW cited Title IX of the 1972 Education Act Amendments which states that any group receiving federal funds cannot discriminate on a basis of sex, color, etc.
The problem with the University being cited for non compliance with Title IX is that the University could lose all the aid it receives from the federal government.
"The consequence of the University's being cited by HEW for non-compliance could be the loss of millions of dollars in student aid and research funds. No funds already granted would he recouped, but the University could be disqualified from submitting applications for funds in the future." Dr. Stanford said.

In a separate corner of the tranquil Council of International Students Organization (COISO) room is the new president Rashed Osseir-am's office.
In his undisturbed compartment. Osseiram, a Lebanese, sits and thinks of ways to help his “friends."
The "identity” of Osseiram’s "friends" are tucked away in a black filing cabinet which comfortably occupies most of his modest headquarters.
Osseiram's "friends." unknown to many, are UM's foreign students
They compose an alphabetical listing starting in Australia and ending up in the United Kingdom. Even the names of citizens from unknown places such as the Camavan Islands and Kuwait secretly "live"
As the newly-elected COISO president, Osseiram is surrounded by controversy as the validity of his office is being questioned. Allegations have been made against hint. He has been accused of activating an illegal election campaign which turned out in his favor.
But Osseiram doesn't want'To focus on the matter. He dropped the subject quickly.
Even though he appears sensitive to the threatening publicity, Osseiram chooses to ignore it and make his priority "overcoming the language barrier."
Osseiram feels that “to some extent. foreign students have been neglected."
"Something should be done about
it,” he said.
To close the gap among international students themselves, the
agenda of every COISO meeting includes watching a film and listening to a speaker from a particular country.
Osseiram feels that learning about differing cultures unites people and breaks down ethnic barriers.
Osseiram applied his opinion to the make-up of the American society.
• "Whites should be aware of what’s going on in the black community just like blacks should he aware of what’s going on in the white community," he said.
Osseiram asserts that there is a communication gap between foreign students and American students, but he has made a personal goal to do all he can to close that gap.
As a matter of fact. Osseiràm encourages non-foreign students to attend some of the COISO meetings.
Osseiram has come from Lebanon for a college education, hut he admits that he has traveled this long distance for more than just book learning.
“Like many foreign students, I have come to the United States for social knowledge. America is a great country. I like the culture here," he said.
In a recent publication of the Hurricane, foreignAdvisor Laura Morgan described COISO as being "static.”
However, there was no static on Osseiram's part. As if no problems

in his cabinet.
When Osseiram pulled out the long drawer of alphabetical listings of foreign students and their respective countries, he seemed more than happy to at last expose the existence of his “friends.”
A senior majoring in architecture and engineering. Ossieram feels close to all foreign students because he “understands their problems."
“Many foreign students are shy and unable to immediately relate to Americans," he said. "But we want them to know about our club and our plans."
Unlike many,' Osseiram said he is aware that foreign students need help the minute they arrive in America.
"Somebody should even be at the airport to help them communicate,” Osseiram added.
Avellone And Marcus (iet Second Semester
Hurricane Business Manager Steve Avellone and Editor Alan Marcus received a vote of confidence to go into their second semester together from the Board of Student Publications Friday.
Avellone was opposed by Jose E. Lopez Boy Jr. and Brandon Roth, but the Board decided to reelect Avellone after only a short period of discussion.
They deliberated for several hours over the position of editor. Marcus’ opponents were Jose Cantillo. William A. Lanting. Lisa Mann, George F. Manning Jr., Dary Matera, Robert B Mills IV, Robert Bradley Rowen, Jeff Shenk. Marshall Steingold and Jeffrey S. Tucker.
During the last hour of deliberation, the race was narrowed to Marcus and Matera, neither of whom could get the needed two thirds of the Board's votes.
