unsel Dennis Richard Congratulates V. P. Don Spurlock
... a/ ter Senate’s 8-6-2 vote to drop charges
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF Hurricane News Editor
After hearing one of four charges against SBG Vice President Don Spurlock and none of the charges against Treasurer Robert Drake, SBG Senate voted to drop impeachment charges against the two, at a special senate meeting Tuesday night.
The decision to drop charges came after over five hours of investigation marked by several outbursts from the gallery and conflicting testimony from witnesses.
Charges against the two executive officers were brought by the Senate after the SBG Budget Committee demanded that Spurlock be impeached and Drake be censured. Upon hearing the Budget Committee’s recommendation, the Senate voted to impeach Drake also.
Spurlock and Drake were charged as follows:
• Willfully and knowingly authorizing illegal expenditures above and beyond those legally and duly authorized for the activities of Secretary of Communications John Pike during the period of Homecoming 1970.
O That Vice - President Spurlock and Treasurer Drake 'demonstrated negligence in failing to seek legal authorization for expenditures above and 'beyond
those legally authorized for Secretary’s Pike’s Homecoming Program.
•	That Vice - President Spurlock and Treasurer Drake demonstrated malfeasance and misappropriated funds in using SBG funds for an extended period loan for personal use in the decoration of their offices.
#	That Vice President Spurlock demonstrated disrespect for and abuse of the spirit of the Constitution of the Student Body Government in attempting to coerce the Student Senate into premature and misinformed action over the summer months by requesting a telephone vote without debate over the issue of the Leadership Training Program.
During the course of the impeachment proceedings numerous witnesses testified including Union Director William Sheeder, Spurlock’s date during Homecoming, SBG President Mark Kras-now, and Spurlock and Drake themselves.
Mid-way in the proceedings Spurlock and Drake were joined by two law students, Matt Baloff and Dennis Richard who advised them through notes.
After midnight Krasnow stood up and moved that the charges against Spurlock and Drake be dropped. The mo-
★ ★ ★
tion was seconded and at 12:23 a.m. a roll call vote of 8 to 6 with two abstentions, one resignation and one absence resulted in a dropping of charges.
Following the dropping of the charges reactions among SBG members were diverse.
“The chief strings were pulled and the puppets played in their show,” Spurlock said. “Everything said during the carnival brought by the Senate is unfortunate.”
“The Senate heard the charges and made a decision,” Drake said. “Naturally I think they’re right and I don’t intend to resign.”
When asked why he moved to drop the charges Krasnow said, “It became obvious it was proceeding in a circus atmosphere with conflicting stories and it seemed to me that we were accomplishing nothing other than discrediting student government.”
Both Drake and Spurlock said that they couldn’t say whether the trial would effect their future relationship with other members of the Executive Board and SBG Senate.
“I think that all three officers are mature enough to put aside any grudges and
work together as we have for the past eight months,” Krasnow said.
There is some feeling among certain members of SBG, however, that the ease is not closed.
“I charge those Senators
who voted for the dropping of charges with willfully obstructing justice, as no motion should have been entertained until such time as all testimony for each charge was heard,” SBG Deputy Attorney General Jeff Wollman said.

Dade North chapter has 800-1,000 student volunteers,” Smith said.
He pointed out that Operation Student Concern services cover a variety of fields. Volunteers provide tutoring, entertainment, recreation, and friendship for underprivileged children in the Miami vicinity.
“In conjunction with a Youth Enrichment program, UM students devote a few hours a week toward fulfilling the social, emotional, and academic needs of these less fortunte youngsters,” Smith said.
“Volunteers try to help prepare these children for life in ways in which their families possibly cannot,” he added.
On the university level, Operation Student Concern is trying to establish work-credit programs within the various departments.
Plans are in the formative stages for architecture students to draw up blue prints for Miami firms and receive academic credit for their work.
In connection with the School of Continuing Education, Operation Student Concern is trying to make people aware of what UM offers adults in both credit and
non-credit courses.
In cases where adults cannot get to the main campus for classes, Continuing Education will provide a teacher and a convenient location where the course will be taught.
On the drawing board is a Teacher Aide Program, which will operate in South Miami. Students will intern either on a full-scale basis, teaching entire classes, or on an individual basis of one student per teacher.
Currently, 50 junior and senior high school students are tutored weekly by Operation Student Concern volunteers on campus. Two groups of 25 students receive academic help in areas of marked deficiency. Each group meets two nights a week from 4-6 p.m. Subjects taught and time schedules are relatively flexible.
Eventually, Operation Student Concern hopes to work on a large-scale basis and become a year-round program.
“There are several fields open in which students may serve,” Smith said.
Anyone interested in joining Operation Student Concern may contact Ike Smith at 284-6577, Hank Klein or Sam Rogers in the School of Education at 284-3505.

The budget of the Student Body Government, rumored to be in trouble, will end the year breaking even says Mark Krasnow, president of the Student Body Government.
Krasnow said although most of the funds are committed or have been spent, SBG will not end the year in the red.
“We have spent and are committed to spend without cutting any programs including the lecture series, approximately $46,000,” Krasnow said.
Krasnow said he plans to balance the budget with several money making projects SBG is currently involved in. SBG is selling student discount cards, Encyclopedia Britta-nicas and is repossessing the refreshment concession at UM concerts, previously given to UM service organizations.
Krasnow said another source of income is re-imbursements front the university for expenses the student government has incurred.
Krasnow said all projected income has been anticipated at its lowest level.
“There is no way we can have any problems,” he said. “We’ll probably finish slightly in the black.”
Krasnow said he does not see anything wrong in spending all its budgeted income.
“If we don’t spend it we’ll lose it,” he said.
Krasnow said there is no truth to the stories that SBG is in the red for any amount.
“I have heard we are in debt for $20,000 and $70,000 but none of it true,” he said.
Krasnow said all the SBG accounts are paper accounts and no actual money ever changes hands.

Johnston says he is looking forward to the job because it will be interesting to see what happens.
“The women’s area is so dinerent from our area,” Johnston said, “and I don’t even know what kind of problems the girls will come to me with.”
Johnston, a senior, has been a resident advisor in the men’s apartment area
for about a year.	.
One of his big concerns is security, and he would like to see the university install lights outside the apartments and chain locks on all doors.
Five girls in two apartments in build-ina 25 were victimized by a masked gunman in January and residents have been warned to keep doors locked.
Peggy Kates, a resident m Apt. 25 -aid “I will feel a lot safer with a guy living ’closer. I think someone with a gun might think twice before coming in if he knows a guy is around.
K Peggy said the first thing she asked the new RA when he met with the girls was if he knew how to fix an oven.
“It will be handier with a guy around. Having a guy RA sounds weird, but I
think it will be fun.”

regular registration for the program, SUMMON will have a late registration today through Feb. 14.
SUMMON needs 260 students to participate in the three-credit pass-fail course offered to any UM undergraduate.
The course can be used as an elective or toward the sociology core requirement in the social science department.
“This semester, 31 additional community agencies want assistance,” Manasa said.
“We have committed ourselves to staff 15 agencies and we have barely enough students to begin, let alone run a competent assistance program.
“Last week I had to turn down seven agencies seeking assistance because I have no assistance to give them.”
The problem exists because many students do not associate work done in the community with the mechanics of registering.
“We know that the interest of the students exists, that is why we are going into late registration,” Manasa said.
“We are appealing to faculty members to allow us to send speakers into classes to explain our program.”
Some of the agencies that are assisted by the SUMMON Program are: Dade County Jail, Redlands Migrant Camp, Carver Junior High School in Coconut Grove, Sunland Home for Retarded Children and 11 others.
Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. a rally at the Rock will be held to engage support for SUMMON.
“The community has come to us expressing their desperate need for help. The faculty of UM has stepped forward in increased numbers to participate in the SUMMON Program, we must have the students,” Manasa said.
Questions can be answered by Norman Manasa at 284-3039.
Our Error
The Hurricane regrets that Jerry Gorde was incorrectly credited with an amendment to a motion to impeach Robert Drake, Treasurer of the Student Body Government in its Feb. 9 edition.
