VOLUME 72. NUMBER 20
CORAL GABLES, FLA.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1994
LIMITED TO UC
A Cane Card access reader, similar to the ones in the residential colleges, have been
installed near the elevators of the UC Breezeway.
The only students with access to the UC at night will be the executive board members and overnight disc jockeys at WVUM, the editorial staffs of The Miami Hurricane and the Ibis yearbook, and leaders of Student Government, the ‘Cane	Commuter

The goal of the reader is to eliminate the need to prop doors open and to increase the security of students who stay in the UC afterhours.
“It actually is more security,” said Cheryl Gayle, Public Relations Director for WVUM. “As a single woman, it’s been very scary to try to find people to open up at 4 a.m.”

Gubernatorial race concludes today
Incumbent Chiles r--Bush attempts a
seeks second term	Republican comeback
By KEVIN 0. FERNANDEZ
Assistant News Editor
/
Throughout his campaign for reelection, Governor Lawton Chiles (D-Fla.) has emphasized his experience, contrasting himself to Republican candidate Jeb Bush, who has never been elected to a public office.
“[Chiles] has a solid record and significant experience involving a number of tasks including environment, crime and education,” said Molly Payne, Chiles’s press secretary. “He has the record and has
ftroven to Florida his ability to ead.”
Chiles has scoffed at Bush’s claims of a weak criminal justice system, and the Chiles/MacKay campaign is quick to point out their efforts to get criminals off the street.
“We fought for more prison cells to put the teeth back into Florida’s justice system,” Chiles said. “Convicted criminals will now do hard time — for a long time.”
Payne said that as of January 1995, convicted criminals will serve 75 percent of their prison sentences.
“Bush proposes [criminals serve] 85 percent of [their] time, but that would be impossible to fund without cutting other important programs,' said Payne. “The Chiles program focuses on punishment, prevention and intervention. Under the Bush plan, we would
be forcing criminals to stay in
iirison a little onger at the expense of the front end of the problem.”
In addition to his public safety __ efforts. Chiles CHILES also cites his record in reforming education in Florida and strengthening the public school system through the Blueprint 2000 program, which seeks to decentralize the state education infrastructure by establishing “school based management.”
“We have fought to (five parents, teachers and principals the authority and the resources they need to turn our schools into effective training grounds for our next generation,' Chiles said.
Chiles has been outspoken against Bush’s proposed voucher system, which would allow parents to use taxpayer money to send their children to private and religious schools.
“Chiles has worked effectively with the legislature over the last four years, and when you get down to the day to day nitty-gritty work of politics, experience and repore with legislature and government officials are what really counts.”

Jeb Bush, Republican candidate for governor of Florida, has made one thing clear in the course of his campaign against Lawton Chiles - crime in Florida is the most important issue in the gubernatorial election.
‘I will not be afraid to be tough on crime. We must prioritize spending to public safety, radically reform the juvenile justice system and streamline the death penalty to bring back morals,” Bush said.
Cory Tilley, Bush’s press secretary, said Bush is focusing on crime because of the failed efforts of the Chiles administration to keep criminals in jail and to serve longer sentences.
According to Tilley, Bush’s anti-crime platform will force criminals to serve 85 percent of their sentences, establish a one-trial-one-appeal process for criminals sentenced to death and build “boot campa” for juvenile criminal offenders.
“Most important on Jeb’s agenda is public safety, crime. Everything else is second,” Tilley said.
In addition to his self-admitted “tough stand” on crime, Bush has also criticized the Florida public education system, claiming that taxpayers are funding “failure.”
Bush has proposed establishing a voucher system, allotting
money to parents to allow their children to | attend private and religious schools.
“We must start funding success,”
Bush said. “We must give teach- BUSH ers and parents more responsibility, and stop funding failure.”
Busn, 41, has never been elected to a public office. In 1987, Bush, son of President George Bush, was appointed aa Florida’s Secretary of Commerce, where he worked to promote Florida business opportunities.Bush has also been a strong supporter of a state constitutional amendment that would require all new state taxes be approved by voters through a referendum.
On his year-long campaign trail, the rookie candidate’s campaign office said it was preparing for an all-out battle at tne polls on Nov. 8.
“It’s going to be nip and tuck the whole way [on election day],” Tilley said. “It’s going to be very close, and it could be a long night.’
“I think we need some change in the state government,” said Zonia Pino, tne chairman of the UM College Republicans. “I also think we need to take a new direction in education because the Democrats program isn’t working.”
Dining
halls to close
Renovations affect students and faculty
By NATHANIEL 0. STULL

Renovations to the cafeterias will soon force students and faculty to find food elsewhere.
“We are trying to respond to what students want with variety, flexibility, and change,” said Pamela Chen, director of Dining Services.
Chen said the main change would be the closing of tne Hurricane and Ibis cafeterias until next fall.
The two cafeterias could close as early as spring or summer semester of 1995 to begin major renovations. The planned renovations may continue through the fall semester, leaving many without a cafeteria.
Several professors said the cafeteria’s closing could hamper their lunch schedules during the school week.
“Well, I eat there all the time and if they close, it will inconvenience me. But, if they get better food, then I’m all for it,” said Eugene Clasby, English professor.
Criminology professor Paul Cromwell, wno lives in Broward County, said a change in the dining service is sorely needed.
‘I guess that wouldn’t be that bad. I don’t care for this new food service anyway,” Cromwell said.
Chen said that the construction schedule may cause delays in cafeteria access.
“The issues, as far as construction, are if we close in the* spring, what if the cafeterias are not ready by fall, then we lose spring and fall semester,” said Chen. “But if we start in the summer, we will only miss fall, but that means there is no chance to be ready in the fall.”
Commuter students, who often use the Ibis cafeteria as a lunch-hour pit stop, said the closings would make finding a place to eat on campus more difficult.
Seven food stations are planned to fill the consolidated cafeterias.
Chen said DAKA Restaurants will run four of the renovated stations - The World’s Fair, a hot entree line with a focus on Latin American cuisine; The Market Square, a soup and salad spot; Leo’s Delancey Street, a New York-

By ARMANDO B0NICHE
Hurricane Staff Writer
The School of Communication is offering the opportunity to buy seats for the newly renovated Cosford Cinema which will open in January .From the cinema’s 272 seats, a select number of priority seats will be sold at $500 each with the remaining seats offered for $100 each. ,
Donors contributing seats to the new Cosford will have their names or other inscriptions engraved on plates and permanently affixed to each seat.
Bob Hosmon, assistant dean in the School of Communication, said these funds from the seats will be used to pay for the cinema’s renovation.
“The funds from seat donations are going for the costs of renovating the cinema and achieving other renovation goals,” said Hosmon.
The donor program will continue indefinitely until every seat has a plate attached to it.
According to Hosmon, the renovations
include new seats, a new movie screen, a new electrical systems, a new air conditioning system and a newly installed Dolby sound system.
Hosmon said there has been considerable interest in the donor program after an article ran in The Miami Herald.
“Even without a considerable outreach, we have already sold 36 seats,” said Hosmon. “We even had a woman from Panama City who read the article in the Herald and purchased three seats.”
People who have already purchased seats include filmmaker John Waters and director Oliver Stone, who was a classmate of Cosford in college.
George Capewell, professor of motion pictures, who was Cosford’s best friend said he sees the donor program as a wonderful way to remember Cosford.
“The donor program is a terrific thing, honoring the person who put the former Beaumont Cinema on tne map," said Capewell. “His years reviewing films at
