Sunday, March 7: The 5'IFC banquet *llday Inn By BARBARA KERR Of The Hurricane Staff Twenty-one people in the Miami area will face certain death if the Artificial Kidney Center closes on March 10. A house-to-house march will start Feb. 28, and continue through March 7 to raise funds to keep these 21 people alive. The center is located at 1150 NW 14th St., adjacent to Jackson Memorial Hospital, the Veterans Administration Hospital, and other medical and research installations. Facilities include five pati e n t treatment-training rooms; a work room and shop where the artificial kidney equipment is repaired and rebuilt; a clinical labora tory; a conference-type train ing room where formal class es of instruction are conduct ed; and the necessary medi' cal and administrative support activities. The UM Artificial Kidney Center is a non-profit institution. The substantial cost of dialysis coupled with the inability of many patients to defry the cost of this treatment presents the continuing need for outside financial support. This current situation has never presented itself to medical science before, since treatment is available and yet is denied the patient because of lack of funds to support the life-saving program. The kidney center “desperately needs” volunteers to help in the door-to-door march to raise funds to keep these people alive. “If a student organization or group of students wishes to do this, I will certainly lend my assistance. Obviously, help is needed now. If our students really care about other people then let them prove it,” Joel S. Rudy, director of Resident Student Development said. Anyone interested in participating in the march can call Sally Stierer at 891-2057 or Lynne Pozzuto at 624-3560. Kidney disease is a widespread and serious health problem in the U.S. and to fully appreciate a solution, the facts must be examined. • Over three million Americans have an unrecognized and undiagnosed disease of the kidneys. 0 In the U.S. alone, more than 100,000 people die each year from some form of kidney disease. —Photo by MIKE GARRETT JoAnd 0 Kidney related diseases of the genitourinary system are the principle causes of work loss among American women. • Kidney related diseases are the second highest cause of work loss in the United States today among people over the age of 25. • A significant factor is that over 100,000 people who die each year of kidney disease, 10,000 could be saved by treatment on the artificial kidney, but less than 2,000 have access to the treatment. Prohibitive cost is probably the most significant bar-rier facing the kidney treatment process now in use. Costs during the first year of kidney failure can run as high as $15,000. This cost includes the onetime use of disposable supplies, care by professional medical staff, technicians, dialysis equipment and center operation. After the first year of kidney failure, this life-saving treatment for a single artificial kidney patient costs more than $12,000 per-year. The cost is beyond the reach of most chronic kidney Continued on Page 6 Hillel Hosts Israeli Concert Joe and Penny Aronson, a husband and wife folk team, gave a concert Monday evening at the Hillel Foundation. The couple presented a history of the Jewish people through song and narration, employing several musical instruments including the guitar, accordian and tambo-rine. The program began with a speech by Mike Klitenick who explained a new committee started to aid the state of Israel. The committee is finding effective ways for UM students to become informed of the problems facing Israel. People interested in becoming involved in this program should contact the Hillel House at 667-1808. The Hillel House, in an attempt to familiarize Jewish students at UM with their culture, is sponsoring many informative programs in the near future. Every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. Hillel sponsors a bagel and lox brunch. This Sunday’s speaker will be Dr. Aron Lipman, a member of the sociology department.

An attack on the Student Union was narrowly averted when snowman Shepard Faber turned the tide with an ice-ball. Model United Nations Features Russian Speaker By JOHN REILLY Hurricane News Editor The UM Collegiate Council for the United Nations will hold its fourth annual model United Nations March 4-7. “This year we have the largest participation ever,” said Jacob Szapiro, chancellor of the UM CCUN chapter. “We have 28 colleges participating besides UM.” This year’s featured speaker will be Victor M. Lessiov-ski, personal assistant to UN Secretary General, U Thant. “He comes here not as a Russian but as a member of the UN Secretariat,” Szapiro said. The model UN will be composed of the General Assembly, the Security Council and four committees. Lessiovski ...speaker Forum Alters Location For Friday Meetings The General Assembly will meet in the Science Building, the Security Council will meet in the International Lounge of the Student Union and the committees will meet in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Union. Szapiro said the total number of delegations will number over 60. All delegations — including the UM delegations, will be quartered in the Everglades Hotel. Anyone wishing to form a delegation should report to the CCUN office in 213C of the Student Union. “Students can come and observe the General Assembly, but I would prefer they participate,” Szapiro said. The model UN will have a banquet Saturday night in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Student Union. Anyone interested in the model UN can call CCUN at Ext. 3603. The Academic Forum has moved its location from behind the Botany Building to the benches next to the Rock to encourage students to join in dialogue with faculty and administration. Dr. Shepard Faber, director of the Forum, said it will meet on the benches every Friday from 3 to 5 p»m. Faber is inviting members of the concerned faculty to be present today for student questions. “This week I’ll make it a point to get those people to the Forum who were involved last spring in the student activities,” he said. Faber said everyone is invited to the Forum to discuss anything of interest to them and no topic will be irrelevant. Faber said whenever a student requests a certain faculty member or administrator he will try and have him present at the Forum. The Forum is designed to provide qpen discussion on Inside By ELIZABETH OSTROFF Hurricane News Editor A possible crisis was averted Wednesday night when 21 apartment area resident advisors voted to stay on the job. Their decision came after Director of Resident Student Development Joel Rudy rejected their proposal to redefine the role of the RA. Rudy’s rejection came in a letter to the apartment area staff in which he stated that he had considered the RA’s proposals for a week after receiving them. In his letter Rudy emphasized that he had, “received all possible information” before making his decision. “In reviewing its (the proposals) contents I took note Joel Rudy ... ‘no acceptance’ of the present composition of the apartment area in terms of the resident student population, its size and nature,” he said. “In addition, I weighed carefully the existent situation on campus in terms of the need for additional security especially in this area and the job expertise of all residence hall staff. “As a result, I am by way of this letter informing all members of the. Apartment Area specifically and the entire staff in general, that I cannot and will not accept the proposal submitted by the Apartment Area Resident Advisor Staff for this 1970-71 contractural period.” Among the R.A.’s proposals were that they be relieved of all disciplinary functions which would be invested in the apartment area graduate staff, in order to allow the RA’s to serve in an advisory capacity to students. “I do not feel that the graduate staff and Head Resident can or should accept additional responsibilities as prescribed in the proposals submitted,” Rudy said. “I do not feel that the Resident Advisor Staff can or should perform the sole function of advising or counseling since this is not their specific training or background.” The R.A.’s also proposed that damage checks be conducted by Asst. Head Resident J. Robert Holmes and that occupancy, checks be delegated to the graduate staff of the Housing Office. “I do not feel that the University of Miami, given the present financial situation, can afford an experiment such as this to occur . . .”, Rudy said. After their Wednesday meeting, however, the R.A.’s said that while they were going back to work under the terms of their contract, they had scheduled a rally for noon on March 3rd at the Rock. “Students can get involved at the rally — its to inform them and get their opinions,” R.A. Carol Hews said. “Part of the tragedy of the university is that students aren’t informed and they get screwed behind closed doors,” R.A. Lincoln Meyers said. “There is a growing need in the university for rules revisions for next year,” R.A. Pat Turley said. “It’s time for students to mobilize if they want to initiate change.” UM focus on the Community ... see stories on page 5 Jim Kembill writes about resident advisor proposal ... see page 5 Art Films to appear on campus . . . previewed on page 8 Exclusive interview with athletic director preview McCoy . . . page 10 r any campus, state, local, or world topic.

Apartment Area specifically and the entire staff in general, that I cannot and will not accept the proposal submitted by the Apartment Area Resident Advisor Staff for this 1970-71 contractural period.” Among the R.A.’s proposals were that they be relieved of all disciplinary functions which would be invested in the apartment area graduate staff, in order to allow the RA’s to serve in an advisory capacity to students. “I do not feel that the graduate staff and Head Resident can or should accept additional responsibilities as prescribed in the proposals submitted,” Rudy said. “I do not feel that the Resident Advisor Staff can or should perform the sole function of advising or counseling since this is not their specific training or background.” The R.A.’s also proposed that damage checks be conducted by Asst. Head Resident J. Robert Holmes and that occupancy, checks be delegated to the graduate staff of the Housing Office. “I do not feel that the University of Miami, given the present financial situation, can afford an experiment such as this to occur . . .”, Rudy said. After their Wednesday meeting, however, the R.A.’s said that while they were going back to work under the terms of their contract, they had scheduled a rally for noon on March 3rd at the Rock. “Students can get involved at the rally — its to inform them and get their opinions,” R.A. Carol Hews said. “Part of the tragedy of the university is that students aren’t informed and they get screwed behind closed doors,” R.A. Lincoln Meyers said. “There is a growing need in the university for rules revisions for next year,” R.A. Pat Turley said. “It’s time for students to mobilize if they want to initiate change.” UM focus on the Community ... see stories on page 5 Jim Kembill writes about resident advisor proposal ... see page 5 Art Films to appear on campus . . . previewed on page 8 Exclusive interview with athletic director preview McCoy . . . page 10 r any campus, state, local, or world topic.
