parked in fire lanes will continue to be towed. Don't say nobody warned you.
Hively's resignation has ended speculation concerning his tenure that resulted from the deans’ evaluations conducted lust spring.
In the evaluations, faculty of the college voted 90 to It) for Dean Hively's dismissal. More than 55 per cent felt the deun was doing a poor or very poor job.
Members of the faculty credited the (lurrieune with forcing the resignation of Dean Hively.
"The dean hud done things that he could get away with, but when the Hurricane made an issue out of Hively, it backed the President into a corner he couldn't get out of," a faculty member said.
Two of the things which caused much furor in the college were the removal of Dr Robert llosmon as chairman of the English department when llosmon was on suhhatleal leave. The removal of l>r. Paul Salter as assistant dean of the college also caused considerable upheaval in the school.
Faculty sentiment, according to a faculty member, was expressed in

UM’s debate team has not only been resurrected this year but its six-member team has been working vigorously since the middle of August to prepare for its first debate September 30 at Middle Tennessee State College.
Last year’s debaters were canned because of a lack of funds, an action that prompted much concern and debate in itself.
This year’s team is being sponsored by the UM Law School, a change from the past practice of having the Communications Department involved with the team.
The debate program was cancelled just one year after UM won the Southern Regional championship and competed in the 28th annual National Debate Tournament. The administration announced initially that the cancellation was required by the budget conservatism imposed in anticipation of large budget deficits.
Law School professor Irvine Stotzky, along with David Acton, a third year law student, will direct the team this year. “I was asked by the Dean to take over the debate team and I accepted,” Stotzky said.
"The Law School took over because they wanted to make sure UM had a debate team in competition pis season,” Stotzky said.
UM will be sending three two-man teams into the national debates in Tennessee.
There they will be pitted against teams from all over the nation, and could in theory, end up debating each other in the finals.
The topic jn Tennessee will be “That the Federal Government

Birth Control Clinic Reborn
By ISIDRO GARCIA
Mtwt Editor
A new birth control clinic is open on campus to replace the clinic that was run by the Family Medicine Department of the UM School of Medicine at the Health Center, Director Dr. Eugene Flipse has announced.
The Med School clinic was closed this summer, along with other clinics operated throughout Miami, when administrators discovered that medical students and residents had no insurance when practicing away from the Medical Center Complex.
The campus clinic will open every Wednesday from 5 to 9:30 p.m. at the Health Center.
UM coeds who have paid their health service fee will be treated at the clinic for a first visit fee of $10.
There will be no charge for subsequent visits, but patients will be charged a $5 fee for a pap smear.
Dr. Mary Smith of the Health Center staff will direct the clinic.
"It is strictly a contraceptive-birth control clinic and not the place to go if students have an itch or discharge,” Dr. Smith said.
Dr. Smith said that two nurse practitioners from the Health Center staff will administer treatment along with a nurse from the Dade County Health Service.
Nursing students will assist in the clinic operation for educational experience.
Dr. Smith said that the money students pay for each visit along with funds from the student health service fee, will finance the weekly clinic.
Meanwhile, the Medical School has re-opened the Women's Monday Night Clinic in the 1550 Building at the Medical Center complex.
Medical School Dean Dr. E.M. Papper warned students in an Au-
gust 19 memo that “student clinics which are maintained off of the Medical Center Complex are not sanctioned by the Dean's Office and students who participate in them will not be protected against malpractice claims by the University."
Adrian Young, a medical student organizing the Women’s Clinic at the Medical School, said nursing students are being utilized at the Health Center because they are less of an insurance liability than a medical student would be.
“A nursing student will assist instead of participate as a medical student would,” she said.
She said Dr. Flipse would consider using medical students at the Health Center if he feels he can assume liability responsibility.
“A student will do nothing by himself. A resident or faculty member has to approve and inspect the work," she said.
Focus: America Seeks Sponsor
By DIANA JABECH

FOCUS: America, WVUM’s syndicated talk show will undergo changes once It resumes broadcasting in the spring. The half-hour radio interview program was cancelled this semester when Burger King chose not to continue sponsorship.
"The big format change is that the show won’t be a one-man show,” said Brad Evans, who will co-host and co-produce the show wRh Ross Block. “It will be FOCUS: America, and that’s the strong issue in the show."
WVUM is looking for someone to sponsor the show.
“We’re all set to go; we’re just waiting for money,” Evans said.
He said Development Director Ed Coll was positive about getting a sponsor.
“If Ed Coll wants money, he will get it,” Evans said.
* By sharing all the responsibilities equally, Evans hopes to avoid the
conflicts that arose between Jeff Coopwood and him during the summer.
“It was unfortunate that Jeff decided to take everything on himself, and it's unfortunate he didn't have the ambition to carry out the show,” Evans said.
"He took it upon himself to go after Burger King and made decisions without consulting me (Evans was in New York). When he saw the possibility that there would be no funding, he dropped the show.
"Heather Bischoff from the Communications Department telephoned me and told me to take over the show. She said that was my baby and I should find another person to help me.”
By changing the format, Evans also wants to avoid broadcasting a show the way former anchorman Ric Arenstein did.
"Rlc put up a fine show, but the statements that the show couldn’t go on without him are ridiculous. fie ripped apart the Communications Department. He felt it was no
more than mediocre, yet in my opinion the Communications Department has all the facilities. You have to use them to the utmost to get the most out of them and we feel we can get national exposure through WVUM,” he said.
“I never said I was the sole creator of the show," Arenstein, now working for WINZ, said. “There are many other people who helped make the show a great success. The show probably reflected my energy"
He said he found "the Communications Department provides vast opportunities for those interested."
The show goes through the intercollegiate broadcast system which is composed of 800 college stations around the nation. The stations can purchase 10 shows for $33.50.
“It would be realistic to think 300 or more stations will pick us up,” Evans said. “The show seems to be going strongest now and will go on for years."
Ityhaan't been determined which celebrities will be interviewed.
