Referendum Placed On November Ballot
Miami Hurricane/JORGE GONZÁLEZ
CSR Director Norm Parsons Presents His Case At/The USBG Senate Meeting

Despite several attempts to change the wording, the USBG Senate, after lengthy debate, placed on the November ballot a referendum that would increase the student activity fee $30 a semester for expansion of the Campus Sports and Recreation Center.
The proposal, if approved by the students in the November elections, would increase the activity fee from $57.10 to $87.10. This increase would run for no more than thirty years, and would not go into effect until construction actually started. The increase, if passed, would probably go into effect in the fall of 1983, with completion of the center taking approximately six months.
The bill passed the senate by a vote of 18-4-1, after protracted debate. Several attempts were made by Senators Eric Gebaide and Oliver Morales to ammend the referendum, all of which failed.
Morales’ ammendment was to strike sections 2,3, and 4 from the referendum. All of that language is explanatory language which Morales felt was unnecessary.
Senator Mark Cheskin urged the senate not to accept the changes, arguing that if section 2 were struck (which prohibits use of the center for other purposes) there is no guarantee the administration wouldn’t take the money and use it for other purposes.
Gebaide described the sections as “junk" and said that “adding limitations ¡to the referendum) will not help anything."
That ammendment failed by a
vote of 12-5-3.
After the vote on the amendment, USBG President Aurelio Quinones was recognized, and he reiterated that sections 2,3 and 4 were unnecessary, but the vote had already been taken. Quinones said later that he had tried to be recognized during the debate on the amendment, but could not get recognition.
After a plea from Senator Hugo Fernandez to be objective and “let the students decide even if you feel it isn’t a good idea,” the senate voted overwhelmingly to place the referandum on tha ballot.
Towing Rate Same As Years Past

Although many students have been complaining about cars being towed away, there has not been an increase in towing, according to Public Safety officials.
The university, which is undergoing extensive renovations, has approximately 7,500 parking spaces nailable. Due to renovations, 100 ¡paces have been eliminated so far.
According to UM parking coordinator Jane Gailey, the reduction of spaces has particularly affected the 'acuity members who used to park lorth of the Ashe Building.
"We’ve had an increase in the icketing in lots 105 and 106 around he engineering building," said Gai-cy. “By ticketing those who do not nave the correct decal for these lots we’ve allowed for the faculty to have priority for their parking.”
In comparison to other years, Gailey does not note any sharp increase in towing even though there are more certified officers this year than last.
“We did not have as many certified officers last year. These are people who must train and go to school in order to become certified to enforce these laws,” she said.
There were 1,191 cars towed in 1980 and 851 last year, according to Gailey. As of Wednesday, there had

less.’
Jane Gailey UM Parking
“I have over $60 in parking tickets plus the money that I have had to pay Southland Towing to get my car back,” said Magor. “I just think UM is overticketing and towing since there really aren't enough parking spaces. I think the administration is totally unsympathetic to the students in this matter.
“I've seen four tow trucks at 10 a.m. towing cars, and once you're hooked up, that’s it.”
According to Joseph Crator, owner of Southland Towing, his service is not towing away more cars this year.
"We’ve had up to 18 cars towed in one day. But today, for example, we’ve had three," said Crator. “There’s usually an increase in the number of cars we tow away at the beginning of the year."

Yet, for many students there still appears to be a problem. For Diane Magor, a junior broadcasting major, parking at UM is an ordeal.
students from out of town who do not know the laws or "they just don't think Public Safety is serious in its enforcement. It usually goes back to normal as the semester moves along."
Nations Unite For Celebration
After a student receives more than three tickets, he is put on the “hot list” and Southland Towing is called in. Once the car has been towed, the owner must go to Public Safety and show his automobile registration slip.
From the student’s point of view, Magor feels this is not a good system.
“Most people keep their registration in their glove compartment and that means going to Southland first and then to Public Safety and then back to Southland," said Magor. “Often, you have to find someone to give you a ride and if not, you have to pay a taxi fee as well.”
But, according to Gailey, "Even though most people don’t know it, there is a Florida law that you do not keep your registration in your glove compartment. You should keep the copy there, but ¡you) should have the original."
Once the registration is shown, the owner will be asked for identification.
“We are trying to avoid giving the wrong car to the wrong person," said Gailey. “It is actually for the students’ protection that we do this.”
Once the owner is cleared, Public Safety signs a release and the person can go to Southland and claim his car.

United Nations Day is being celebrated today by several member organizations of the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO).
There is a breakfast at 8 a.m. in the Ibis Cafeteria; however, the main event will begin at 11 a.m. with displays in the Breezeway. The displays, one by each organization, are representative of the culture of each country, according to coordinator Carl Francis.
Francis said over 20 organizations will be displaying artifacts from their country. Such organizations as the Latin Students Association, the Organization of Arab Students, the Nigerian Student Association, the Venezuelan Student Association and the Organization of Jamaican Students will be participating in this event.
At Southland, a fee of $26 must be paid in cash. If the car is picked up by 11 p.m. the same day, the $7 daily storage fee will not be charged.
Said Crator: “Since we know most of the kids are college kids, we charge $26, even though many of the students are driving the latest cars. Any towing service will charge you $60 and up."
According to Crator, the majority of towing occurs for violations of the fire lanes and the handicapped spaces.
Crator added that his staff has had to put up with many insults from students. "I’d like you to ride along with me one day and see how it feels just to drive on campus in the truck, not even towing a car, and see how many insults we’U get.”
Despite the students’ complaints and the various parking problems, Gailey maintains they are doing their best, though they are not infallible.
She suggests these tips to alleviate the parking problem: • Schedule more classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
•	Park south of the Hecht Center, where there are 400 seldom-used parking spaces. A study by the department shows that it takes 12 minutes to walk from there to any spot on campus.
•	Students should car pool.
•	Students who live on Fraternity Row should walk or ride bicycles to classes.
“We have a philosophy here and it's the more we ticket, the less we’ll have to (ticket later onj because people will park better and we’ll have to enforce less,” said Gailey.
“This year, U.N. Day takes on more significance and is on a larger scale," Francis said. “We’re hoping miny people will take advantage of this opportunity to share in a spirit of unity and togetherness."
He said the displays are put up so other members of the student body can learn of other countries and what the United Nations stands for.
“At a time like this, especially in light of what is happening in parts of the world, the United Nations becomes very symbolic,” Francis said. “It is a very vivid demonstration of solidarity among the nations.”
He added that U.N. Day is also another way of uniting the campus organizations themselves so that they will be a “cohesive body and will work together.”
“The cabinet of COISO extends their welcome to everyone and hopes they will share in U.N. Day," Francis said, it
CIA Recruiting Can Be Secret,
WASHINGTON, DC. (CPS) — The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) no longer has to tell whether it has recruited at or spied on college campuses, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The appeals court in Washington two weeks ago said the CIA didn't have to turn over documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by University of California Student Nathan Cardels, who was trying to discover if the CIA had been recruiting foreign students at UC.
The three-judge court ruled that the CIA would undermine its own effectiveness and that "the work of foreign intelli-

gence agencies would be made much easier" on U.S. campuses if the CIA were forced to let Cardels see certain documents.
Since most FOIA lawsuits are heard in Washington, the ruling affects some 125 campus FOIA requests to find out about CIA recruiting on campus, its debriefing of traveling professors and students, and its alleged spying on foreign students, says Susan Schaffer, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who presented Cardels’ case.
The U.S. Student Association has also sued the CIA to release documents relating to the agency’s surveillance of the student group. That case is pending.

‘$30 is a lot of money. I wish I had a different way to fund the expansion, and we will continue to work to raise funds, but I don’t see another way right now.’
CSR Director Norm Parsons
The addition to the center would addioffice space, racquetball courts, expanded multi-purpose areas, and a weight room to the Campus Sports and Recreation Center.
CSR Director Norm Parsons explained the need for the increase at the senate meeting. Parsons said that other expansions and construction for student facilities have been paid for by referendum. The Student Union, for example, was built with student dollars from an activity fee increase in 1957, which students are still paying.
"$30 is a lot of money,” admitted Parsons. “I wish I had a different way to fund the expansion, and we will continue to work to raise funds, but I don’t see another way right now. I hope the senate wiil give students on this campus the opportunity to decide whether or not they in fact want to put up the money,” he said.
Asked why the administration does not put up the money for the expansion, Parsons said that "historically, universities are educationally, research oriented.
“Universities, in their tight budgets, are taking the attitude ... if these types of activities and facilities are important to the students, with our educational, research dollars as tight as they are, students are going to have to come up with the money," Parsons explained.
’Tve been trying since 1978 to come up with the funds,” he added.
The expanded center will feature a Nautilus workout room, dance studio and multi-purpose room.
USBG Senator Eric Gebaide, who said he was glad students would get a chance to vote for or against the referendum, said he will propose a resolution at next week's USBG
meeting, urging students to vote against the referendum.
Gebaide’s resolution states that the increase "would not be in the best interests of the students,' and "efforts should be made to discourage the undergraduate students from voting for this referendum.
The actual wording of the referendum reads as follows:
Do you agree to increase the Student Activity Fee by a maximum of $30 per semester for allocation to Campus Sports and Recreation for the completion of the Campus Sports and Recreation Center?
It is understood that:
1.	This fee ($30 per semester) will not be collected until after construction of the addition to the Recreation Center has commenced and will not be collected for a period longer than 30 years after the commencement of said construction.
2.	This facility cannot be used for such events as concerts and commencement excercises.
3.	Recreational, self-directed activities and organized programs sponsored by the Campus Sports and Recreation Department will continue to be given a high priority for use of the facility.
4.	All users who have not paid an activity fee will be required to pay semester or annual fees which wiil be met or exceed the membership fee paid by the undergraduate students who pay the activity fee and are members by virtue of paying their fee.
5.	Any funds raised by Campus Sports and Recreation for construction of the addition to the Recreation Center will reduce the Student Activity Fee and users' fee accordingly
Debate On Parking Sparked By Meeting

The campus wide master plan was further defined at a meeting with deans, administrators and faculty members yesterday at the Faculty Club. A major concern expressed by many was the potential reduction in parking spaces on campus.
The Master Plan will cost the University of Miami over $9.5 million dollars, and is scheduled to be completed on a staggered basis over the next decade.
Speaking for the SWA Group, which did the planning for the campus was Kalvin Platt, president of SWA. He said that their primary goal is the evolution of the Coral Gables campus towards “something better, more beautiful, and asset to the community.
“We are carrying forth the notion of earlier plans which said that the university has several major areas, academic, student services, administrative and athletic, and these should be grouped together whenever possible," he said.
The landscaping already taking place around Ashe building is a major improvement for that side of campus, Platt added. "As that project shapes up, the university will have a major entrance that is quite beautiful.
There are five stages to the master plan, the first of which is already being completed. That involves the renovations around the Ashe and Cox Science Buildings.
"In late 1983-84, the Metrorail station will open and the university should be right on top of that.
‘It is a mind blowing idea — strolling across a rolling campus — it’s just not real.’
Dr. Robert Zaller Faculty Senate Chairman
Platt said. This will create a new entrance point for the university. While the specifics of this entrance have not yet been established, Platt said it will involve some combination of water and landscaping.
Parking was a major concern of many members of the group attending the meeting. Platt said that although there is an immediate reduction of 100 spaces next to the Ashe building, the second phase will produce over 300 new car spaces. The university is committed to a policy of perimeter parking. Platt said.
Dr. Robert Zaller, chairman of the Faculty Senate protested that "the concept of perimeter parking is inappropriate to this campus. We're not a Busch Gardens. We need access," to the classrooms and administrative buildings on campus
“There is no need to interact," Zaller responded. "Anyone coming on campus is interested in going somewhere and you are making him go an extra 10-15 minutes.
“It is a mind blowing idea — strolling across a rolling campus — it's just not real," he said.
