A crackdown on drug traffic at the UM Law School has led to the arrest of one student and the subpoena of five others
Arrested at Miami International Airport Aug. 4 with 1.75 pounds of cocaine was Bernard Joseph (Joe) Krabacher. Krabacher's trial, which was to begin this week, has been delayed until March 19 due to the hospitalization of Krabacher's attorney.
Krabacher, the top student in the senior class, offered to sell $40,000 worth of cocaine to a detective as federal agents watched. According to Assistant-State Attorney George Yoss, the student is claiming entrapment.
Yoss stated that the court records Show that the police called Kra-
bacher’s home asking for his roommate. The roommate had been questioned earlier in connection with other drug dealings.
Since Krabacher's roommate was not at home, police spoke with Krabacher.
“The culmination of that phone conversation was a deal,” Yoss said.
The investigation of the Krabacher case is two-fold.
"Although I am primarily concerned with Krabacher, I have received information from sources about other drug dealings on the campus. Based on that information. I’m asking questions,” Yoss stated.
It is from these sources that Yoss got the names of the five other senior law students who were subpoenaed.
Roy Black, the attorney for several of the students, claims that the

An official Libyan delegation visiting the U.S. stopped in Miami this week for a four day stay. On Tuesday afternoon, the leader of the Libyan delegation, Mr. Ahmed Shaha-ti, spoke before the American Farm Bureau. On Wednesday, the delegation visited UM in coordination wth International Student Services.
On Wednesday night, the delegation returned to UM to hear a performance by a Libyan dance troupe.

Dr. Henry King Stanford, president of the university, was in attendance for part of the performance.
In an exclusive interview with the Hurricane, Shahati said the American public must be “shown the truth" and that American policy in the Middle East must change or else "the Arabs may have to take a
v«ry strong stand toward the U.S."
Shahati, who heads the Libyan Foreign Relations Liason Office came to this country under the joint-sponsorship of the Libyan government and of several prominent U.S. citizens who took part in a Li-
byan-American Dialogue Oct. 9-13 in Libya.
Among those Americans sponsoring the trip are Senator William Fullbright and Billy Carter.
Shahati outlined three overall goals of the visit: first, to “correct misconceptions about Libya and the Arab world in general;" second to “promote better relations” between the two countries; and third, to "emphasize the cooperation between the Libyan and American people.”
Specifically, the delegation would like to see ‘‘American policy change in the Middle East, in the Arab homeland and in the Islamic world in general."
"If public opinion and the American people correct their misconceptions about the Arabs it will definitely influence policy decisions (and open) better understanding between the Arabs and the American 'policy," Shahati stated
“In spite of the fact that American interest lies in the Arab lands, in the oil fields or other natural resources, we find that (American) policy ic completely contradictory and favors Israel
“What I’m afraid of is that the Arabs may have to take a very tough stand toward the policy of the U.S. and that will complicate things even further if the policy is
*’ You re breaking the law even if you werent involved in the deal and you weren't taking the drug.*'
State Attorney George Yoss
State Attorney’s Office is carrying on a "fishing expedition" and a “witch hunt.”
“They are trying to find any evidence whatsoever and making allegations that there's a huge drug conspiracy at UM. I find that hard to believe,” Black said.
Yoss refused to comment on whether he felt that there was a drug conspiracy at the law school.
Black and one of the law students claim that Yoss is questioning anyone who is known to have used cocaine or marijuana. According to the student, who asked not to be

not corrected. Simply, what's happening in Iran right now could happen in other parts of the Arab world.”
Shahati pointed out that the Libyans “care about this and that's
why we waift to promote a better
understanding in order to avoid such kind of things.”
Asked specifically what he wanted to avoid, Shahati answered that when he referred to "American interests" as being endangered, he
meant “oil and everything else.” When asked what social or cultural possibilities existed between Libya and the U.S.. Shahati insisted that these were secondary considerations.
“We’re being very frank . Political stands and policy stands of the U.S. with such countries as South Africa and Israel and the dictatorships of the world is something

Task l orce to Educate Students
Drinking Problem on Rise
By THOMAS MOREY
Hurricane New* Writer
The University of Miami has a drinking problem. According to Dean William W. Sandler Jr.. Dean of Student Personnel and Associate Dean of Students, there appears to have been an upturn over the past three years in alcohol-related disturbances on campus, especially in the residence halls.
The Alcohol Education Task Force, with Sandler as its Chairperson. was created to cope with this situation. Funding for the Task Force is from the Student Personnel Dean's office.
“The presence and use of alcoholic beverages at universities and college campuses across the country is, for all intents and purposes, traditional, despite official claims to the contrary.”
“The thrust of the Task Force is to de-glamorize the drunk and the hangover, to give students a rationale and a gauge for monitoring themselves and their own drinking behavior. A longer range goal would go beyond a student having to gauge himself, and offer real alternatives to intoxicants," said Sandler.
The Task Force plans to accomplish this goal by prioviding factually accurate materials and information to students aboyut alcoholic beverages and their use. The information is designed to provide a balanced assessment for students of both the positive and negative consequences of drinking, and to encourage students‘who drink to learn their own individual limitations.
In serious individual cases of alcohol abuse, provisions will be
made for counseling and medical attention, if required.
“This information will be communicated through brochures, posters, residence hall programs and speakers on campus," stated Sandler.
The Alcohol Education Task Force consists of Sandler. Dr. Roger Dunham, Dept, of Sociology; Dr. Malcolm Kahn. Counseling Center; Father Henry N.F. Minich, Episcopal Church Center; Mrs. Virginia Murray, Health Center; Thomas A. Papino, Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Director of the Student Academic Services Center; Maureen Short, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Development Programs; and student members Ms. D'Arcy Cana-va. Mr. Dennis Elliott, and Ms. Robin Wilson.
Cancer Society Wins At Gambling Night
Miami Hurricane JANE MARCUS
Fortune.** öftere Made and Lost
......at AEPi's 'Big W heel'
By JANE MARCUS
Hurricane New» Writer
Casino gambling may have failed in Miami last November. but Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) kept gambling alive last Friday night and donated over $500 to the American Cancer Society from the proceeds of their first annual “Gambling Rush Party.”
The AEPi house was transformed into a casino where students paid a two dollar admission/donation to the Cancer Society. For this, they received two free drinks, $10,000 in chips and a raffle ticket on one of the fifty prizes.
The gambling night was organized by AEPi brothers Art Greenfeder and Steve Block and was run by the brothers of AEPi.
According to Greenfeder, before the casino closed at midnight, each student cashed in their chips for raffle tickets and received an extra raffle ticket for each extra $10,000 in chips.
The prizes were donated by various businesses and oncluded a three night "Bahamarama" cruise, formal wear, jewelry, stereos, records and sporting goods.
After a successful evening, AEPi was able to cover their expenses for renting the facilities and donate money to the Cancer Society.
AEPi was also able to bring casino gambling to Miami, even if only temporary. They plan to make “Casino Night" a yearly event.
identified, “They're interrogating and investigating anyone who smokes marijuana.”
Yoss denies this and demands that he be shown anywhere in the court transcripts where he asks the students to name their classmates who've smoked marijuana.
“We’re not looking for lists of those who smoke pot. Our thrust is to determine whether the defendant, the witnesses, or those subpoenaed have been involved in the use or distribution of cocaine, marijuana, or other narcotic drugs," Yoss stated.
Since Krabacher is claiming entrapment, the State Attorney must show that Krabacher has used, distributed, or received cocaine.
“We want to show that it’s not entrapment and that we’re not dealing with a babe in the woods,” Yoss added.
Yoss also denies that he is carrying on a fishing expedition. “We have talked to many students and only subpoenaed five. Do you consider that a fishing expedition?”
Of the five subpoenaed, only one would answer the State Attorney’s questions. Two answered some questions and the other two refused to comment.
Though offered immunity from criminal proceedings, the students are afraid that they will not be admitted to the Florida Bar on the basis of their testimony.
"We’re all law students. Whatever we say can screw us — not criminally but by the Bar," said one of the five.
According to Black, any publicity of this type will have a "serious effect on the students’ ability to find a

Ex-FBI Agent Heads Security
Special to the Hurricane
After a semester of confusion a new Executive Director of Public Safety has been appointed, replacing Fred Doerner, who had temporarily served in that capacity since October.
Veteran FBI administrator Joseph Frechette has served as Executive Director since Dec. 19. Frechette, who joined the FBI in 1951 as a special agent, served in the Washington and Miami divisions until 1954 when he was assigned to the New York division. In 1967 he was assigned to the Miami division, where he served until his appointment at UM.
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration in 1950 from Holy Cross College, he studied at Georgetown University School of I.aw the following year.
During his one month at the University Frechette has already made some advances toward improving the Department of Public Safety. Last month the report on security at UM made by Powell and Associates of Connecticut was sent down. This report, commissioned and conducted last year, made numerous recommendations for security improvement on campus.
Both Frechette and Dr. John Green, Executive Vice President for Administration and Finance, have examined the report. It is now in the hands of UM president. Dr. Henry King Stanford.
Referring to the recommends--tions made Frechette said,“Dr. Green and I talked over the phone of re-designing the Public Safety Department and felt we could reorganize keeping within the structure of Mr. Powell’s report.”
A major change within the department will be the addition of more manpower, made possible by a reallocation of funds for Public Safety. Additionally, all public safety officers will be receiving a pay increase, making their annual salary $12,000.
A recruitment campaign for public safety officers, which includes postings on University bulletin boards and ads in the Miami Herald, is now underway. Frechette feels that there had been a problem trying to attract good people for the jobs at the previous wages. He added that the new increase would make the jobs more competative.
When recruitment is completed the force will have 13 public safety officers, compared to the current eight.
The force will have four sergeants and two lieutenants. Shift commander Lt. "Barney ” Barnard will be responsible for training uniformed officers.
Frechette hopes that the as-of yet-unnamed second lieutenant will

begin an investigations area on campus. The officer will also be in charge of a crime prevention program that will include speakers and special programs in the residence halls. “I hope to get the R.A.’s involved in this program," Frechette said
Another change in the program will be making four of the 17 guards full-time dispatchers to make the Public Safety operations “more solid."
A Director of Law Enforcement in charge of public safety officers will also be hired. David Wike, former Director of Public Safety will remain in his recent appointment as Director of Industrial Safety and Traffic.
Other recommendations resulting from the Powell study that Frechette hopes to Implement include adding “beat” policemen to patrol the campus on foot, installing an alarm system in certain buildings and strenghtening residence hall security. Also he would like to take another look at the lighting on campus, but he added that the Powell report called campus lighting “not that bad.”
“Don’t think this will happen tomorrow,” Frechette said, referring to the planned changes. He said the first step in finding public safety officers who are compatible to the students. “If we get all these people it should turn this all around," he said.
Frechette said he was glad that he began his new position during the winter break because It gave him a chance to familiarize himself with the campus before things became hectic. Overall his impression of UM has been favorable. “Everyone I’ve met has been great,” he said.
Frechette feels it is very important for the students and public safety officers to become friendly with each other.
“Basically we’re here to serve the students and faculty. I like to think of us as a service organization.”
