Free Bus To First Home Caiiie

Free bus service will be provided to the Hurricane’s first home game on Oct 1 at 8 p.m. against University of Pacific.
The bus will be provided by the Football Office. The idea was formulated by Student Union Director Joe Pineda, Student Union Assistant Director Ray Bellamy, and Jim White, head of sports promotion.
Athletics Director Pete Elliott and Coach Lou Saban caught onto the idea, and are now making the final plans.
Sign-up sheets for the buses will be available in the dorm areas for resident students and in the Student Union Breeze way for fraternities’ members and commuter students.
There will be a separate sign-up sheet for fraternities, so they can see which frats are being well represented.
The buses will pick-up resident students in front of their dorms, while fraternity members and commuters will meet in the Union Breezeway.
This service will save each student approximately $1!. This is what parking or taking a bus to the game would normally cost.
Elliott and Saban feel that the free bus service is a good way to attract students to the game, and they feel that everyone will have a good time once they are there.
“The strength of any football team has to come from student support. Students will support the Hurricanes and go to more games once they gain a sense of identity with the team by going to the first game," said Underqraduate Student Body Government President Allan Lubel.
Students should take advantage of this opportunity; after all. the Football Office does not have to do this. They are just trying to help get students more interested in their football team."

For the first time in history University President Henry King Stanford will ask the Board of Trustees to release the budgetary “plan of UM's operation" to the students and faculty.
The plan of operation of the budget is the outline of the administration's plans for this year's budgetary allotments In paragraph form.
Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Allan Lubel, who made the request for the plan to Stanford, said that the plan will reveal everything that students and faculty need to know about the budget "in an understandable form."
"Then when the final budget is released we will know just what to look for and we will also be able to understand it with a minimum amount of explanation." Lubel said.
Lubel has also requested that a student be placed on the University Budgeting Committee and the possibility is presently being worked on

Plans To House Dade Students Denied

Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William Butler has denied any plans on the part of the University to provide housing for Miami-Dade students in I'M Residence Halls
"The University policy regarding Residence Halls composition is very clear and there are no plans to change that policy to allow students from Miami-Dade. or any other University. to reside in our facilities." Butler said.
Assistant to the Vice President of Student Affairs Rick Artman cited an apparent "misunderstanding between the Student Affairs Office and the Residence Halls Office" as the reason for confusion over the University's position on allowing Miami-Dade students to live in Residence Halls facilities.
“Over the summer, Miami-Dade was experiencing some difficulty in placing a group of Nigerian students. and we investigated the possibility of providing them with housing for the fall semester."
"On Aug. 30 I met with the Deans and Vice Presidents to discuss this problem with them. We were all in agreement at that time to not permit Miami-Dade students to live in our dormitories," Butler satd.
The confusion over the University policy was hightened by an article appearing in the Miami-Dade student newspaper advising students in need of housing to contact the
UM Residence Halls Office.
While several Miami-Dade students contacted the Residence Halls Office, none of these students actually went through with the application process.
"We are not presently housing any Miami-Dade students, nor are there any plans to do so in the future." Butler concluded

Keep your eye on the ball appears to be the advice of a fraternity Big Brother to his little brother for the day in an obvious hit and run play.
The action took place at the Interfraternity Council sponsored Big Brother Olympic Day held last Sunday on the IM field.
torney and faculty member of the UM School of Law, represented the students in their successful bid to remove the arrest records.
Last May, after some deliberation, State Attorney Richard Ger-stein dropped charges against the students, yet their records remained open in individual court jackets, which are the official records of the arrests.
After three separate Metro hearings between Aug. 29 and Sept. 19. all 31 motions to expunge were heard and granted Judges Robinson. Rubiera and Maginnis presided over the hearings.
The order in which the student cases were heard was strictly arbitrary, with the final 20 student records being expunged on Monday.
While the court jackets will not be destroyed, the motion to expunge will seal them.
"According to court records, they will be sealed and can only be reopened by a court order. Anyone opening these records would be subjected to charges of contempt of court and possible civil liabilities," said Lenard.
The state entered a motion of nolle prosequi, meaning that it will no longer prosecute the case
“In the court’s opinion, the past histories of each student justified sealing their records." said Lenard
Lenard rendered his legal serv ices probono (at no cost) to the 31 stur dents.
"The defense was happy to resolve this issue in a manner that will enable each student to pursue his or her goals in the future." said Lenard. *

"When we get the budget it will be all inclusive and the salaries will be in lump sums according to departments in order to protect the privacy of those involved, Lubel said."
I personally believe that we have no right to know what a certain faculty member or administrator makes and anyway, by seeing that each department spends on salaries we will know whether a department is over paying those members of that department.” Lubel said.
According to Lubel, the traditional reasons for not releasing the budget are no longer sound.
"Releasing the budget now will prevent future protests and sit-ins; if for example the administration raises tuition and we know from having been a part of the coordinators of the budget that there is a need for increase and that the budget can be done no other way then there will be no need for any protesting on the part of the students," Lubel said.
Lubel said he advocates the rights of consumers.
"The university receives large sums of money from the state and therefore has an obligation to be re-sponsi e to the consumers and to operate in an area of openess,” he said
Precedents have been set In budgetary releases in the area of Academic Affairs. According to Lubel, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Clyde Wingfield has released the Academic Affairs budget according to departments.
Since Lubel took office the administration has been more responsive to the students requests in order to avert another massive demonstration on campus
President Stanford has set up some guidelines for the students and administration to follow in for-seeing the release of the budget.
These guidelines are;
The students and the administration will have no less than two meetings per semester in order to keep channels continually open.
Any tuitition increase must be announced to the students no later than January 31 in order to give students who choose not to return the opportunity to locate and apply to another university.
Lubel will make i formal request to the entire Board of Trustees for a line item budget at their October meeting. *	*
