A group of animal lovers, led by Anthony van Zwaren, plan to protest “unbridled, unlimited, and uncontrolled animal cruelty" at UM's Rosenstiel Scientific Research Center Thursday at 2:45 p m
The Center is located on the grounds of Jackson Memorial Hospital in downtown Miami.
The demonstration is to protest what van Zwaren called "needless cruelty to rhesus monkeys and dogs” In experiments performed at the Center.
According to an article which ap-
Protests
peered in yesterday's Miami Herald, researchers at the Center denied that their study of the effects of noise on the monkey's circulatory system constitutes cruel treatment. Officials could not be reached for comment on the alleged cruelty to the dogs.
“Two things were the impetus for the protest," van Zwaren said. "One was the picture in the Herald of the monkey held in a vice while being subjected to very high noise.
“The other was the comment of a women who works at the lab in Jackson Memorial Hospital. She stated that dogs were being poorly treated before the experiments and

thrown in cages afterwards.” According to van Zwaren, the woman, whom he would not identify without permission, also said that the dogs were being left in their cages while the cages were being water-pressure cleaned Van Zwaren also stated that the women claimed to have come across a drawer full of collars indicating to him that the dogs used in the experiments are lost pets.
The coalition van Zwaren represents is a coalition of animal protection organizations such as Animal Awareness, Coalition of Concerned Citizens, and Friends of Animals. “We’ve had demonstrations be-
fore,” van -Zwaren said. “We know that there's a lot of animal cruelty going on.”
Van Zwaren told the Hurricane that he knows of two reasons why the experiments are done. One is to “further science.” The other is to "get the publicity to acquire new grants.'*
Van Zwaren feels that the rhesus monkey experiments are “utterly useless because they are proving to us things that we already know.”
Dr. Ernest A. Peterson, who designed the experiments, disagreed.
“The majority of qualified scientists would say that we do not
know the relationship between noise and cardiovascular function." he said.
According to the Herald, the monkeys go through a daily roun-tine of hearing recorded sounds of human home and workaday worlds. The sounds include alarm clocks, electric razors, pile drivers, bulldozers. and low-flying airplanes.
Meanwhile, van Zwaren claimed that his group will continue to protest wherever and whenever they see the need.
“It's the only way that we can stop this sort of thing,” he said.

New Financial Aid Law Makes Everyone Eligible

Thanks to the efforts of UM Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William R. Butler and a new law signed into effect by President Carter last month, every UM student can now be eligible for financial aid.
In past years, the bulk of financial aid funding has been earmarked for economically deserving stu-

Corrections
In the Hurricane article entitled “Money Missing” which appeared on Jan 22. it was incorrectly stated that students whose tuition checks are missing would "have to repay their tuition.”
In an article in Neighbors on the same subject which appeared on Jan. 18, It was stated that UM students would have “a few harsh words and would have to repay tuition."
UM Associate Treasurer Steve Ashman said that the students involved are still registered. Those who paid cash have receipts and those who paid by check will be notified and asked to stop payment on the missing checks.
New checks may have to be issued in place of the lost ones, but UM is willing to pay any bank charges involved.
The Hurricane would also like to offer its apologies to Dr. Eugene Clasby. In the article entitled “ ‘Credit Only’ Policy Change Clarified by Faculty Senate," Dr. Clasby was incorrectly referred to as Vice-Chairman of the Faculty Senate.
Dr. Clasby's actual position is Chairman of the Faculty Senate.
dents. Under the Middle Income Student Financial Aid Assistance Act those students presently receiving financial aid, as well as those not receiving any aid will be extended new and additional benefits.
Available aid benefits include the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) which is an outright grant that does not have to be repaid, and the Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSL), which must be paid back after graduation.
At present, 1900 students are receiving an maximum award of $1600 per year, while under the new guidlines 3000 students will receive a maximum grant of $1800 for the year.
Also changing is the ceiling on parental income that qualifies students for the program. The current $15,000 income level for the typical family of four has been raised to $25,000.
"We feel that at least one-third of our student population at the undergraduate level will be eligible for these grants," Butler stated.
The other financial aid program that has seen drastic changes in the past few weeks is the Guaranteed Student Loan Program.
According to UM Financial Aid Director Ron Hammond, past eligibility restrictions for this program have now been lifted.
The Guaranteed Student Loan, a federally-subsidized interest-free program, may now be obtained regardless of theapplicant's personal or family income.
“In the next month, we'll be putting together all the elements of these new programs and we're going to conduct a mailing campaign to the students and their parents (Informingjthem of what they must do and what steps they must follow to make application for both of these programs.
"If you're enrolled in the University of Miami half-time or more, are in good academic standing, and have a lending institution through which the loan can be secured, you’re entitled to a Guaranteed Stu-
dent Loan," Butler said enthusiastically.

A Residence Hall proposal for an increase of $25-$71 in room fees for the fall semester will be brought before the Board of Trustees on Monday for approval.
According to a highly placed University official, the recommendations to the Board of Trustees from the Residence Halls Office concerning the proposed increased In different lifestyles are as follows:
•	1968 and 960 Complexes — double room Increase of $25 per semester and single room increase of $54 per semester.
•	Mahoney/Pearson and Eaton Hall — double room increase of $45 per semester and single room Increase of $71 per semester.
•	Graduate Efficiency, Honors and non-airconditloned apartments increase of $25 per semester.
•	Married students apartments — increase of $10 per month.
The largest increase is the difference between the double and sngle rooms available in Mahoney/Pearson, Eaton Hall, and the 1968 and 960 Complexes.
In the current academic year, the difference in cost from a double to a single is $142. The new recommendations will call for a difference of $200
According to the University official, the increase in costs are due to inflation, different benefits in the different lifestyles, and the demand for certain lifestyles over others.
“The cost of living index for the past calendar year is up 9%, therefore, excluding fixed costs at the university, all other costs will increase to reach this index," said the official.
“Also, students in certain lifestyles are getting more benefits than other students."
One item causing the difference in the lifestyle rates is the presence of semi-private baths in Mahoney/ Pearson and Eaton as opposed to the community baths in 960 and 1968.
“It is difficult to try to say how much this benefit is worth, but students who get more should pay more,” said th* official.
In regard to the increases for single rooms, the official cited the high demand for this particular lifestyle.
“The demand for single rooms has always exceeded the supply in the residence halls and students have always paid a higher price to reside in private rooms."
At press time, Director of Resi-
dence Halls George Shoffner could not comment on the validity of the proposed increases in the housing rates.
“I don't think it is appropriate to discuss the increases at this time. It is not my place and I do not have the authority to discuss it at the moment," said Shoffner.
