A former employee of the University of Miami was arrested Wednesday after he burglarized two apartments on campus.
Keith Blount, 25, worked about three years ago with ARA services on campus, according to Lt. Cokes Watson of UM Public Safety.
According to the police report, the suspect stole cash, a bicycle, two stereos and an athletic bag from one apartment — a total value of $578. He entered through the back doorway by breaking the lock
Blount was found in the bedroom of a nearby apartment where one female student was sleeping. When she awoke, he was stealing her purse and going through her room, the report said.
In the second apartment. $192 worth of money and gold was found missing
The suspect fled, dropping the victim’s purse The victim then called Public Safety. Officer Ed Hudak was in the area and chased the suspect when he saw the suspect leave the building. Hudak said Blount hid in some bushes.
"If he kept running, he would have gotten away,” Hudak said.
"It's an awfully lonely feeling running after him. I had to run so far. I felt more at ease just knowing, hearing the voices on the radio.”
Blount was taken to the Public Safety office, where he was questioned. During the interview,
he confessed to the burglaries. He was then transported to the node
County Jail.
Brian Scarry, who lives in the first apartment that Blount burglarized. said his small stereo was stolen.
Scarry also said the burglar had no problems entering the apartment since the back door to the complex will not close completely He added that the apartments themselves are very unsafe because the windows are not very secure and can be pushed open easily.
“If you lock yourself out, it's not
very hard to get in,' scarry said	A reaj skeleton in the department of anthropology displays the Halloween

Senate at odds over SAFAC
By MICHELLE MILLWOOD
Hurricane Staff Writer
The University of Miami Undergraduate Student Body Government Senate passed a bill Wednesday recommending the creation of a committee to screen prospective at-large members of the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee.
The committee now seats four at-large students, who are randomly selected hv a computer The USBG bill was passed in an effort to determine a fair and unbiased method of selecting these at-large members.
However, in the final moments of the meeting, senate speaker pro tern Bill Barzee tried to pass a bill that would bring the member selection issue before the students in a referendum But the bill failed by a 16-10 vote.
“The students of the University should have some input about SAFAC funds.” Barzee said "They have had no say if they don't like the way money is spent, which amounts to $260,000 Many students don't even know what SAFAC is, and those say SAFAC has an accountability problem "
Barzee said students should be given the chance to decide if they want to vote for the at-large positions.
He said the purpose of the at-large seats has been to represent the entire student body on SAFAC, and under the present system, these students represent no one
Like the bill that was passed
earlier in the meeting, Barzee's bill included a screening committee, which would consist of the dean of students, the director of student activities and the USBG president "We need people we can depend on, people with integrity, serving on SAFAC — people wiih character that are answerable to the student body,” Barzee said The bill faced opposition from those at the meeting Eric Robinson, associate Homecoming chairperson, said that Bar-zee's bill contradicted the bill that was passed earlier and that very few students vote in fall elections "You can't expect a freshman to understand the processes of SAFAC enough to vote in the fall when he is trying to get used to his new environment. Robinson said.
Some senators agreed that the
original bill was sufficient to improve the quality of potential SAFAC members and that Barzee's bill would not increase the accountability of the at-large members
USBG President Jose Garcia made an emotional appeal to the senators to represent their constituents and to be careful of giving up their rights as leaders
"Should we prioritize our leaders from a computer’’’ Garcia said "Is there a fear of democracy? A vote on this bill is voting whether students have the right to express their desires."
Garcia also said there is no reason for a student senate if

Pat Haden, crime prevention officer of the University of Miami Public Safety department, led a panel of six female UM students in a discussion Tuesday on preventing date and acquaintance rape, which she called "an old problem with a new name."
Over brown-bag lunches and cans of soda, about 33 women and five men joined the panel in discussing rape, a crime associated with strangers but usually committed by someone the victim knows
Haden said that 51 percent of all reported rapes are committed by someone the victim knows— a friend or even a relative. She also said that one-half of all rapes occur in the home of either the victim or the attacker.
Haden said that rape victims often experience feelings of guilt but that the victim who knew and trusted her rapist feels even more guilty.
"In dale or acquaintance rape, the victim feel this guilt even more so," Haden said. “She asks herself, ‘Is there something I did?' instead of ‘Why didn't I lock my door?' "
Date and acquaintance rape is often considered the victim's fault. Haden said. For example, if a woman gets in a car with a man, she is often considered a
“tease."
While defining rape as any act of sex forced upon a person, Haden explained that rape is an act of
violence, not passion
"Too much responsibility is placed on the victim," Haden said "The time has come for women not to be passive and weak — those words spell victim."
As student panel members addressed questions posed by Haden, this implication that women were responsible for rape constantly surfaced in various comments.
Another problem involves joking about the subject
of rape.
Senate election campaigns begin

Eighteen candidates, all of whom belong to the same party, have filed to run in the fall University of Miami Undergraduate Student Body Government senate elections, according to Bill Barzee, a campaign manager for the party, The Voice.
Monday was the deadline to file for candidacy. USBG elections will be held on Nov. 6 and 7 in the University Center Breezewav and the Memorial Classroom Building even if candidates are unopposed so that students can vote for write-in candidates.
Barzee said a majority of those running on the ticket are incumbents.
“They need people to run the campaign for them because of the demands on their time from school work and their present seats," Barzee said
Once he agreed to be campaign manager, Barzee began interviewing candidates to pick who he thought would be the best senators.
"When you run on a group ticket, you can reach more people," Barzee said.
The Voice is working on developing its platform, which will include the party's basic stances
on issues such as tuition and
housing.
"Most people vote straight ticket because they recognize the party name," Barzee said.
That recognition is the goal of graphic campaigning, which started yesterday.
“Candidates are allowed to spend a certain amount of money, but it is limited," Barzee said of the allowances for graphic campaigning.
Candidates must file financial statements by Nov. 3.
Half of the USBG senate seats are up for reelectlon. These include two seats each for the freshman and sophomore classes, two for the Student Entertainment Committee and all of the residential seats.
Off-campus residential seats are comprised of two seats each from North. Central and South areas. Mahoney and Pearson Halls together have one seat, and each of the three residential colleges has its own seat. The apartments and fraternity row also have one seat each.
Every undergraduate student has the opportunity to vote in the fall election. Everyone may vote for the SEC seats, and residential and class seats are voted upon by those eligible.
Advising begins Nov. 3
Academic advising begins Nov. 3 for all students. On that day, class schedule books should be available in the Registration Office, which is located in Memorial Building 111.
Students should call or go to their individual colleges or schools to make an appointment with an advisor. There, studentsshould obtain a copy of their academic progress records, which they should take with them to their appointments.
Without an advisor's signature of approval, registration for next semester will not be permitted

“It’s taken as a joke, more so by men," said junior Shannon High, also a panel member.
A resident assistant. High said the attitudes of the men on her floor reflect this problem.
"They |men| see it as — if a girl gives in, it's not rape," High said. “Girls don't see it as rape. They see it as her fault."
Haden asked the panel if prevention programs caused unnecessary fear in women and men.
"It makes women think about who they are and what they want to do," Campbell said. "In the past, they were taught to obey, not to think."
High said men "might think twice about how they’re treating a girl."
Bill Mullowney, UM ombudsman, said a high level of suspicion could hurt a relationship. He said effective communication can reduce the confusion that is common in dating situations.
Mullowney also said. "It is a matter of respect, and respect is not automatic in any relationship."
Rita Deutsch. administrative assistant in the College of Arts and Sciences, quickly responded to this point
"No woman deserves to be raped in any situation
for any reason," Deutsch said
The panel and audience members agreed that
communication and confidence can prevent date and acquaintance rape
"Alcohol slurs communication and inhibits clear judgment." Campbell said
A female freshman in the audience said she never drinks at parties where most of the men are drinking
Haden reminded the audience of the Rape Crisis Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where anyone who has been raped can receive free, confidential advice, as well as medical treatment.
She also reminded the audience of the student
