Officially opened by Vice President for Student Affiars William Butler yesterday, International Week will continue its activities, unofficially begun Saturday. Food, dances, shows and “parades" featuring over 10 countries will give the week its cosmopolitan flavor.
“Around The World In Nine Days," the theme of International Week, sponsored by the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO), began informally with a get-together at the Rathskeller Saturday. Sunday was Sports Day, comprised of an all-day ping-pong tournament, a simulated cricket match and an afternoon football game between Jamaican and Arab students.
Last night was the International Fashion and Talent Show, in which many countries participated: Venezuela, Nigeria, the United States, the Bahamas. Turkey, the Middle East, the Ukraine. Cuba, India and Honduras.
Today is Europe and the Orient Day, beginning with the Ukrainian food sale at 11 a m. in the Student Union Breezeway, sponsored by the Ukrainian-Ameri-can Organization in conjunction with various local Ukrainian women's organizations. There will be hulup-chi (stuffed cabbage) and other Ukrainian dishes. Hillel
will simultaneously be selling food on the Patio, providing falafel (meat pies), knishes (potato, cheese or meat pastries) and other Jewish dishes
There will also be an Indian yoga demonstration at noon, followed by a Tai Chi demonstration of Chinese martial arts by "Mr. Lee" at 1 p.m.
The Day of the Americas, tomorrow, will be kicked off at 11:15 a.m. by UM President Henry King Stanford on the Patio. At this time, Stanford will be presented with an embroidered guayabera (an authentic Cuban shirt with tiny pleats) by the Federation of Cuban Students (FEC) President Gabriel Sanchez. Music for the opening will be provided by the Continental Brass Band.
A Cuban comparsa (a traditional Hispanic parade dance, somewhat similar to the West Indian junkanoos) will wind its way from the Library to the Patio at. noon. FEC members will be wearing Panama hats,, white ruffled slit dresses with flowers in their hair or ruffled shirts tied in the front.
Starting at 12:30 p.m.. there will be Cuban food on the Patio. FEC will be serving arroz con polio (chicken with yellow rice), cogri con lerhon (black beans and rice with pork), Cuban bread and soft drinks. Tickets are $3.
Dominoes and chess exhibitions will run from 1:30 to 2 p.m. in the Student Union Lower Lounge.
Following this will be an exposition depicting the life of Jose Marti, between 2 and 4 p.m. in the Lower Lounge of the Student Union Marti, who died during the first battle of the third war for Cuban independence, was a Cuban poet, writer, philosopher and revolutionary.
Also between 2 and 4 p.m. in the Lower Lounge of the Student Union will be a Cuban cigar rolling exhibition, in which non-Cubans and Cubans, alike, will be instructed in the art of creating fine cigars.
From 2 to 4 p.m , the United States will have its portion of the week. The UM Jazz Band and U.S. dancers will be on the Patio.
While FEC is presenting Stanford with his guayabera and conducting its comparsa, the Organization of Honduran Students will be conducting its craft display from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., selling souvenirs and posters.
From 5 to 7 p.m., that organization will be selling traditional Honduran food, such as enchiladas, tacos, horchata (a drink tasting something like rice pudding), yuca con chicharon (yucca with pork), roast meat, tamales and Honduran coffee.

“C*' stickers get tickets
Parking decals labeled “TV”

Recent changes by the University Parking Authority have brought complaints from faculty and students alike.
This month, the parking lots adjacent to the Ring Theatre, the Law School and the Science Building were converted from commuter (“C”) stickers to “N" stickers, which were issued to music, drama and law students only. Recent enforcement of the regulation has led to a flood of illegal parking tickets.
“There's never been special interest parking before — at all All we got from him (Dr. Arthur Brown, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences) was the assurance that he is on our side, that elitist parking is not a habit of the University," one female graduate student from the science building said.
A group of graduate students and science faculty recently took complaints about this directly to Brown.
According to another graduate student, with the change in parking
allotments, only 50 spaces are left for the entire Science Building and Computer Center faculty, employees and students.
"The Science Building people. I suppose, have acted more sharply than anyone else. It's only an experiment through the end of April. If it causes too many grievances, we won’t continue It,” Dr. Thomas Wood, Parking Authority chairman and political science professor, said.
According to Wood, no representative from the Graduate Student
Association (GSA) ever showed up at the Parking Authority meetings, causing graduates to feel they had no input in the decision.
Neither the GSA nor the representative were available for comment
“The Undergraduate Student Body Government president's (Allan Lubel) representatives were there, and they consulted with some student body (government) people. They brought in no complaints in advance," Wood said. According to him, there was a good deal of stu-
dent input involved in the decisionmaking. and if “the graduate students were never at any meetings. (It was not) through any fault of ours.”
On the other hand. Brown said that Wood had told him that there wasn’t enough student decisionmaking in the move to change from "C” stickers to “N" stickers and that the department heads In the Science Building were not even consulted.
He said that no students should be given special privileges not allocated to the other students.
'To boot, there are students with both commuter parking stickers, so that not only do they have their own parking spaces, they also take what little parking we have," one of the graduate students said
Although Wood said that the change is a one-month experiment, the “N" stickers are stamped as being good through Aug. 31. Wood said that he had nothing to do with the printing of the stickers.
Due to the Law School’s heavy donations toward the building of
the Rathskeller, they were allocated their own room in the Rathskeller. Several graduate students said they suspected a similar “political move" in the parking sticker change.
“If there is special privilege parking. it should be delegated by a proportion of students and proximity, not by the power of the head of the department or by the dean of the department," one graduate student said.

Contrary to rumor, UM has not lost its rights to the research station on Pigeon Key. Pigeon Key, located about halfway down the keys, has been a center of controversy since the Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) Director Jay Landers gave expedient approval to Paramount Films for the dredging of 100 cubic yards of bay bottom of its shore, despite opposition from his local and regional staffs.
The University of Miami holds a 20 year lease of the three-and-one-half acre island from Monroe County at $1 a year.
In addition. UM has held a three year permit to dredge at Pigeon Key's Hawk Channel since Oct. 6, 1975. Reputedly for scientific purposes. the project description was that of an “access channel 25 feet long by 15 feet wide by 5 feet mean low water to connect a boat basin to the water of Hawk Channel (natural).”
Issued by Monroe County, the permit was not taken advantage of until late March, when Paramount Pictures completed the project in exchange for use of the research station in the filming of a pilot for network television.
The pilot, entitled “Spanner's Reef," stars Michael Parks.
Even as filming proceeded, a second permit was issued by DER to "the University of Miami, c/o Paramount Pictures, Hollywood, Cal.”
Specifically, the project entailed dredging "a maximum of approximately 100 cubic yards of state

The convention will begin with registration on April 16, with UM

The permit was issued by DER March 7, and accepted by Paramount Director Ben Chapman March 10.
Monroe County Building and Zoning Director Kermitt Lewin was concerned over UM’s failure to obtain county permits prior to the DER permits, as required by Florida state law. However, zoning department inspector Lynn Kephart was quoted as saying that UM's failure to apply was to be overlooked as a courtesy to Paramount.
Concurrent with the issuance of the second permit, a memorandum passed from Kephart to Lewin brought out the principle issues in question:
•	Additional dredging may be necessary, as the channel proposed may not have adequate depth for their vessel.
•	Valuable natural resources have been and will be destroyed
which belong to Monroe County citizens without any compensation.
•	Dredging the native underwater flora, which consists of dense turtle grass beds, could cause further destruction by the wash due to the silty substrate.
•	The movie industry, though most beneficial to the Key’s economy, should comply with the law and protect or make modifications to prevent future destruction as a result of the work they are undertaking.
In accordance with the DER permit. Paramount is to post a $10,000 performance bond against its agreement to reconstruct the bay bottom.
But. as quoted in the Miami Herald. Dr. John Hall, chief of the Corp’s South Permits Section, believes the restoration unfeasable. It would be cheaper for Paramount to default on the performance bond than to go ahead and replant the grass beds, he explained.
Among the people supporting DER in favor of the permit are U.S. Rep. William Lehman (D, Fla.), Lt. Gov. Jim Williams' office, the Commerce Department, Rep. Joe Allen (D, Key West) as well as the Florida Motion Picture and Television Aaso-

sistant coordinator and past participant in the program, sees interning as a way to obtain insight into professional management.
“The purpose of the program is to enable students to relate course work to actual management practices," Taub said.
“Students are assigned to special projects that are of value to the firm, but their main responsibility is to learn as much as they can about the firm.”
Selection of a firm for the program is based on a three-way agreement: the firm, the student, and the University must accept each other.
Participants work an average of

eight to 10 hours per week throughout the semester. A total of 135 hours are required to receive three credits and 90 hours are needed to earn two credits. There is no pay received for the work.
During the semester, students are required to submit a midterm report and a final report on their experiences at the firm. In addition, participants are expected to communicate either on a weekly or bi-weekly basis with their faculty supervisor to discuss the program.
Businesses that have participated in the program include Southeast First National Bank. Royal Trust, the Miami Herald, Eastern Airlines. Bodega Steak House, Gables Camera Shop and WPLG-TV (Channel 10).
"The good thing about the program is that you're not just doing work: you're learning and doing something beneficial for the firm." Taub said. “It gives you the opportunity to be exposed to an area in which you think you'd like to work."
Interested students can find out more about how the program might benefit them by contacting the chairman of the department in which they are majoring or are interested. or by calling program coordinator Dr. Charles Wurst at x-5935.
