Finally we come to what is the most crucial aspect of
abortion for many young women — Price. Almost none of the
abortion referral services called quoted the same price or for
that matter offered the same services.
The least expensive agency, it was found, delivered the
most in services. Prices ranged from $215 at that agency to
$300 at another — all excluding airfare, of course. Different
prices were also quoted for different abortion methods.
For a pregnancy not exceeding 10 to 12 weeks (depending on the agency) the new "vacuum aspirator" method is
used. This method is generally less expensive than the traditional "D and C" method used for more advanced pregnancies.

a bomb scare on board the giant 747 jet. The passengers, including many UM students, were subject to a
three-hour wait on Runway 30, during which the plane
had to be searched. However, due to the spirit of many
of the passengers, especially the UM students, the long
wait was shortened by such diversions as touch football
and Frisbee games.    .

According to Roland
Woods, director for the Black
Culture Week Art Exhibition,
Baratte said he only wanted
international work in the
Museum which would eliminate a showing sponsored by
United Black Students.
Barrette originally stated
that he could not have the
showing in the Lowe because
all space and time had been
taken up until the end of the
year for contracted exhibits.
UBS students appealed to
Associate Director for Student Activities Joyce Knox,
Art Department chairman Andrew Morgan, Assistant to
Dr. Stanford Ted Nichols,
and Butler. No immediate
settlement was made to
allow the showing in the
Lowe.
"We did not receive favorable response from anyone
and we took the matter to
the student body." Woods
said. "Picketing the art museum began at the opening ot
the French Impressionist
Showing," Woods said.
Woods said that during the
joint meeting Stanford told
Baratte to accommodate tne
UBS show. Also at this time,
plans to begin the show on
April 29 were,made.
Baratte declined to make a
statement, leaving comment
up to Dr. Stanford.
"Baratte agreed to accommodate us and to help make
the   show   top  calibre
meaningful for the viewers
Woods said.
"We hope that the
Culmr^wikArtExhimtion
will become an annual sched
uled event and placed on the
calendar of scheduled shows
at the Lowe," he said-
The exhibition will feature
sculpture and paintings from
the black community, high
school students, UM stu-
dents, elementary school
children, professional artists
and amateurs.
All pieces of art will first
be viewed by a jury.
Dederick Allen, head of
the department of photography at Denver Community
College will help in the selection  of photographs  to  be
shown.
All work for the show
should be brought to the
Lowe Art Musuem mounted
or framed on Wednesday
April 28 between 8:30 p.m.
and 11 p.m.
The exhibit will end May 6
11 p.m. All pieces can be
picked up Friday, May 7,
from 12 noon to 5 p.m. and
May 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Supreme Court
Rules on Credits
By JILL H. MOVSHIN
Of The Hurricane Staff
The SBG Supreme Court voted unanimously before vacation to reaffirm their interpretation of last December that
transfer credits may be included in the tabulation of averages
of SBG candidates.
The court was asked to reaffirm its interpretation of the
eonstituion after the Elections Commission moved to disqualify candidates whose cumulative averages without inclusion of
transfer credits, were under 2.0
One of the framers of the current SBG constitution Jim
Yasser, testified that the old USG constitution had specified
credits earned at UM. In writing the new constitution this
phrase was omitted so that transfer credits could be included in grade point tabulation.
This reaffirmation came after candidates Jeff Wollman
and Pat Wilson appealed the Commission's overruling of the
court's interpretation. Wilson, however was later disqualified
for other reasons.
The court also discussed the topic of allowing graduate
students to sit in as court justices.
Shara Pavlow a court member said, "I feel graduate students still are court members as no definate decision as to
their status as members was ever made."
Yasser was called upon to give an interpretation of the
intent of the constitution writer concerning graduate students
status.
"I don't think we ever intended to exclude graduate students from the court as being non-elected members or in an
advisory position," he said.
After much commotion and many comments by the gallery that "the court doesn't seem to know what they are
doing," the topic was shelved until the next meeting.
The court then discussed the topic, of allowing Wollman
and Wilson to run. Another explanation was made by Yasser,
who said, "It was indicative of our intent in the constitution
to include all academic work at a college level to be part of
the needed 2.0 cum."
The supreme court ruled that the SBG Senate ratification
of a new member to the Student Entertainment Committee,
was not valid.
The matter was brought up by John Crawford who said
that "even though I was in full view of Chairman Krasnow,
during the discussion, as I was standing on a chair right in
front of him, he refused to call on me and I do not feel that
the vacancy should have been filled the way it was."
Again there was much discussion and commotion among
the gallery who continually threw out shouts of "this is a
farce," and "why don't you dissolve the whole SBG system."
UM's National Advertisement
Stirs Image Concern, Outrage
Campaigning for the 1971-72 Student Body Government
elections kicks off Sunday in preparation for April 22nd-23rd
^balloting.
An attempt by the Student Activities office to sponsor a
debate between the four candidates for president failed when
only one candidate said he would show up. The activities office planned the debate in an attempt to alter usual door-to-
door campaigning and leafleting.
Junior   Don   Wade,   who . *     *     •
was to have moderated the
debate, said the only candidate who he would have been
willing to debate was Mike
Evans, a former high school
debating champion.
According to Wade candidate Ray Bellamy could not
debate because he had a previous speaking engagement
at the Boy's Club.
Wade said another presidential candidate Stu Weiss
was planning to speak before
fraternity and sorority
groups and couldn't make it.
"Steve Chaykin (fourth
presidential candidate) apparently felt that because of
my affiliation with Stu Weiss
during the past three years I
could not have served as an
impartial moderator," Wade
said.
There are 27 positions
open this election, owing to
the recently adopted Student
Body Government Constitution. No longer will representatives (now called "senators") be chosen solely on
the basis of class. Instead
there will be senators "at
large" and from the various
classes coming from UM's
different schools.
. At last count 37 candidates
are listed on the ballot. Originally there were several
other candidates who were
declared eligible for candidacy but John Crawford, Mark
Krasnow, Bill Lizewski, and
Ralph Crozier have withdrawn from senatorial races.
Questions of eligibility
were raised in regard to candidate for Arts and Sciences
Junior representative Pat
Wilson, candidate for Executive Secretary Jeff Wollman,
and engineering candidate
Bill Eck. Eck and Wollman
were later judged eligible
while Wilson was not.

Some concerned UM students and faculty have expressed outrage at a new attempt to keep university enrollment booming — an advertising campaign in national magazines and newspapers.

advertise that at UM "both
semesters are spring," and
"our academic climate
doesn't seem to include winter."
"The whole idea of the ad
was not to bring back the
image of Suntan U, but rather to use the Miami climate
to the utmost advantage,"
Giampetro said.
"We must be realistic
about what we do portray;
the contrasts in our life style
are depicted for the individual reading about UM for the
first time," he said.
Giampetro said, "UM has a
solid academic program and
good facilities and we wanted the climate to be an asset
to academic achievement.
"A good deal of proof will
be in the interest the ads
generate and the number of
the students who enroll," he
said. "So far we've had 250
requests for further information."
Faculty Senate Chairman
Sidney Besvinick thinks it
unfortunate that the montage
represented three-fourths
recreational activity and one-
fourth academic activity.
"There's nothing wrong
with advertising as long as
the emphasis is on the quali
ties and  capabilities of
university," he said.
the
Vice President for Academic Affairs Armin Gropp
has the same feeling as "95
per cent or more of the faculty," that the ad represents
the return of Suntan U.
"I've been told the ad
would appeal to the young
people, but I don't really
think it does," he said.
"We are working within a
competitive situation, so we
are trying the advertising
route to attract a good quality of students," Giampetro
said.
"I had hoped to appeal to
the transfer student who is
having a bad time at another
school," he said. "Maybe he
would think UM is a good institution and the climate is
great."
Other advertisements planned will point toward the
particular schools within the
university.

Commission
Penalizes
Candidates
By JOHN REILLY
Hurricane News Editor
The Student Body Government Election Commission
has voted to penalize the
slate of Stuart Weiss one-
tenth of the legal amount of
campaign expenditures for a
violation of the §BG election
code.
The violation occurred
when a campaign worker's
meeting, held by Weiss in the
1968 dormitory auditorium,
was attended by more than
10 people. The election code
states that a meeting of
more than 10 people constitutes formal campaigning
and formal campaigning offi»
daily does not start until
Sunday.
"We don't think it was a
willfull intention to violate
the election code," Richard De
Quattro, chairman of the
Election Commission said.
"We tried to make the punishment fit the crime."
"We would not have held a
meeting if we thought it was
a violation of the Election
Commission code," Weiss
said.
The Weiss slate will legally be able to spend $540 on
their campaign instead of the
usual $600.
Weiss said the punishment
will not severely handicap
the campaign because the
slate does not have that
much in their fund to spend.
The Weiss slate was found
innocent of having a graduate student participating in
the campaign meeting.
In other Election Commission action William Eck was
qualified to run, Pat Wilson
was disqualified and Bill Lizewski withdrew from the
election.
