UM Encounters Some Opposition To Proposed Beach Campus
By C1NDV S. VOVA
N.W1 Kdll.r
Thf existence of a University of Miami campus to be located on Miami Beach has become a more viable possibility in the past few weeks.
However, there are still many "ifs” surrounding ultimate approval of the proposal.
Last Spring the then Miami Beach city manager Mr. Southern spoke to Dr. Clyde Wingfield, and provost and Dr. Robert Allen, about the possibility of having the old Miami Beach City Hall located on Washington Ave. and 11th St, taken over by UM and “used as a center for having academic programs which, according to a Miami Beach Sun Reporter article, could serve as an “entry point" for students around the nation and around the world.
The "Sun Reporter" article stated that Miami Beach Mayor Dr. Leonard Haber intended the Beach campus to serve as a supplement to the main campus and not as a substitute.
The orginal idea went into a hiatus of approximately six months, during which time the Miami Beah city manager’s job changed hands. Now Dr. Haber wants to resume negotiations. During an initial meeting with Haber, UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford was taken to see what he called “The magnificent restoration of
Miami Beach.”
In a proposal submitted to Stanford on Oct. 17. Dr. Haber re-suggested locating a UM campus at the site of the old city hall.
Habers recommendations to the University included that the city hall facility be made available to the University for "nominal annual payment” of a dollar a year, and that the building would be turned over to UM for the purpose of creating a campus.
Haber's proposal also had provisions including cooperation with the University in zoning and parking matters, aiding in obtaining businessmen to loan the. University an estimated $1-1.25 million, plus payment of the amortization of the loan to UM.
According to Stanford, Haber mentioned that he would encourage gifts to the University from Beach residents.
The article in the Sun Reporter stated that Haber thought the location of the campus on Miami Beach might be conducive to programs specializing in hotel and restaurant management. Wingfield, will be establishing a committee to evaluate the feasibility of specific academic programs if the campus is established.
The University's Executive Committee has written a letter to the mayor stating that the University would express interest in Establish-
ing a Miami Beach campus if three conditions are met:
1)	The facility Is provided at no cost to the University.
2)	Any program at the Miami Beach campus would be of equal quality to any other part of the University.
3)	Any program established would not impair the finances of the Univesity.
“There are a lot of ifs” Stanford said.
UM public Director, Richard Morrison stated that he understands a branch campus for UM on Miami Beach is a long way off, if in fact it ever comes to fruition at all.
"There a lot of long range planning activities that must be completed before any final decision can be reached on this issue.”
Morrison added that the academic feasibility study being undertaken by Wingfield will probably not be completed until the spring. At that time the faculty senate will meet to review the program.
Morrison concluded that it would be “premature" to anounce the opening of a UM campus in Miami Beach at this time.
Stanford’s attitude falls in line with that of Morrisons. “In the spirit of development the city leaders (of Miami Beach) are determined to have an institution of higher learning.”

UM Selects New Queen

In the beginning 68 University of Miami coeds thought they had a chance of winning the tit le of Miss University of Miami. On Sept. 29 only 12 remained. Last Thursday night, in front of a standing room only crowd at Gusman Hall, one winner remained, Candy McConn-ley was crowned Miss University of Miami
The 5 foot 6 inch 115 pound freshman studying prelaw from
Dover, New Jersey will now represent UM at the Miss Florida pageant.
This years pageant began with the opening speeches and was hosted by Nancy Stanford, a former Miss Florida. The entertainment began with the performing of dance numbers by a very talented group of people called the Joe Michael Dancers.
Next came the parade of finalists and the talent competition.
All of the girls performed well during the talent competition. This was the event that could earn the highest amount of points. After the first intermission, the girls were back parading in the swimsuit competition, at which time the audience vocalized their approval.
Following the swimsuit segment, the UM Jazz Band Chamber singers sang a medley of songs entitled "A salute to broadway." The final phase of competition, the parade by the girls in their evening gowns, followed. While the judges were trying to decide on who would be the new Miss University of Miami, the Joe Michaels Dancers performed once again.
After some time, the five judges had made their choice clear. Last years winner of the Miss UM pageant, Sandra Santiago was called upon to give up her rule as Miss UM and turn it over to this years winner Candy McConnley. Along side Miss McConnley was her first runner up, a freshman also. Miss Rosemary Fagnani. Taking second and third runner up was another fresh-

Frechette Leads
Security

After months of searching for a new University director of public safety that included nationwide advertising and resulted in the receipt of over 100 resumes from prospects, Joseph Frechette remaim, the leading candidate for the position.
Monday Frechette along with Fred Doerner, acting director of puBlic safety, met with different administrators and committers in the University community. Included in this was a meeting with student representatives Paul Novack, Brad Feuer and Vicki Corrigan.
Students expressed concern about obtaining more information about the current organization of the Public Safety Department and its priorities. Doerner explained that all officers on the UM force receive their police authority from the Coral Gables police department. Each officer is deputized by the Coral Gables Chief of Police.
When questioned about the change in policy which gives Coral Gables police authority in campus matters that concern criminal activity, Doerner replied that what.in actuality, Coral Gables police do is send in detectives to investigate cases after officers’ reports have been filed.
Frechette strongly favored the organization of a UM detective force. “I feel sure that when we get them Coral Gables will let us do our own detective work," he said.
Another concern F'rechette has toward improving the department is to initiate crime education programs, especially in the areas of assault and narcotics, that would include seminars if student interest warranted them.
One of the major problems the department now faces is a lack of manpower. “If there’s no increase in the budget of the public safety department you’re going to be in trouble.” Frechette said.
“Its not uncommon now that there will be a total of one police officer on duty now," Doerner said.
Job List
Frechette said that a lot of the changes he would make in the department are dependent on the outcome of the security study that has been made by John Powell Associates. The results of this study are expected to be released later in the month.
It F'rechette Is approved by the University he will serve as Executive Director of Public Safety, which, according to Doerner. is a new position. David Wike, who formerly filled a similar title is now , according to Doerner. filling a position as Director of Industrial Safety and Traffic.

Dr. Franklin Littell, Professor and Chairman of Religion at Temple University, and Chairman of the National Institute on the Holocaust,
