Carni-Gras ’72: ‘Staggering HiV
By F. J. MIZZLES JR.
Ot Th* Hurrlcant Staff
Carni-Gras is over and the Intramural Field, a little worse for wear, has been given back to the baseball players.
“UlM’s Carni-Gras is a staggering success, with nearly 50 thousand people in attendance over the past three days. What really adds to it is the fact that everyone's had a great time,” Gary Olsen, overall chairman said.
“Last year we grossed $19,000. This year we hope to surpass this figure. Thursday night we grossed $6,500. Friday we grossed $9,500. When the final tally is in we feel as if we should surpass this figure by several thousand,” Elliott Goodman, executive finance chairman said.
“We’ve only had one problem during the whole affair and that was the handing out of tickets. Sometimes the lines were rather long. But on Saturday we installed a few extra booths, and the problems was not as bad as it had been,” Olsen said.
Olsen said that there had been a lot of out-of-town students from other colleges who were here on vacation and that they had attended Carni-Gras, along with many Coral Gables residents.
“This year we have added extra rides, there are nine of them now. But as far as the booths are concerned we have just about the same number.
‘Thursday and Friday we bad real runs on all of the
booths. Most of them had sold out before the night was over, especially those which dealt with food. So you might say it has been better than had been expected,” Olsen said.
Goodman said that the monies from the Carni-Gras was divided between the various organizations and the Paul R. Yarck Fund.
"The money for the fund is not earmarked for anything specifically, but is deposited in a contingency fund where it is
used for various needs that are placed upon it. For example in the past it has been used to help pay off the Student Union,” Goodman said.
“There will be awards given for the best looking and sturdiest structured booth and other awards. The awards are divided into nine categories. Some of them will take awhile to be decided upon since there are so many varying factors to weigh aftd ter t»ke*8ito constfleratirmr” Rick 9tr«b technical adviser said.
"We surpassed our previous record of $19.000 by over $5,000. Jhis year we received $24,224.31, which actually surprised us. But last year when I was elected to the position I predicted that we should make at least $5,000 more," Olsen said.
Olsen said that it would be a while before they would be able to tell how much each organization made and how much the Paul R. Yarck Fund will actually net.
Students Prefer Total Campus Health Care

Opinion
Poll
By ERIC BALOFF And DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Of The Hurricane Staff
A majority of 100 UM students polled this week indicated that they would like to have total health care on campus rather than the present referral system used by the Health Center.
Here’s how this week's poll went:
Would you like to see a health center with total medical-dental facilities?
YES NO UNDECIDED 87%	6%	7%
pay only $25 for health fees, but we pay $36 for activities," said one UM student.
Would you agree to an increase in health fees to achieve total medical-dental facilities on campus?
YES NO UNDECIDED 51%	37%	12%
Apparently, a majority of students would be willing to make a major sacrifice (money) in order to improve health services.
“I spent nearly $100 dollars getting new glasses here. In New York, if you buy the

undecided said it would depend upon the amount of the increase in fee.
Do you feel you can get adequate care at the Health Center?
YES NO UNDECIDED 48%	42%	10%
Unfortunately, a majority of students polled feel they do not receive adequate care at the health center all of the time.
One student who was undecided said that on occasion, the care he receives was adequate, but sometimes it was not.

“Besides the fact that they didn’t cure me, I felt as if I were going through registration again,” said one bearded junior.
If you were ill, would the thought of going to the Health Center make you feel better or worse?
Better Worse Undecided
31%	57%	12%
For a majority of students, the thought of going to the Health Center is unhealthy.
"Aspirin upsets my stomach, and that’s all they ever give," one student said.

Brad Culverhouse, a law student at UM and legislative representative for the Florida Jr. College government association commented “We’re organizing all the junior colleges to forge a coalition between them and University Student Governments, Inter-Fraternity Councils, Panhel-lenic Associations, independents and student newspapers for the common cause of putting pressure on the legislator in the area so they will support progressive and youth oriented legislature.”
if the bill is killed in today’s session, a member voting for it can move to reconsider the bill.
Consideration of general legislation ends triday of this week.
“It will take a terrific effort on the part of Florida’s youth to get the bill passed. However, one of the major problems is that Florida’s youth is not organized. They can be organized effectively which I and a number of people are trying to do,” Culver-house said.
The bill provides that an 18 year old person would be entitled to all the privileges that a 21 year old is, which includes the right to drink alcoholic beverages, the right to be sued and to sue, the right to buy and sell property, etc.	t

This is the last in a series of three articles by the Hurricane dealing with the UM Health Center and its services.
Today's installment deals with the future of the Health Center — which direction for improvement.
While science and technology make more and more discoveries each day, the UM Health Center remains In a state of stagnation while trying to keep costs down and quality care high.
And although not equip-•e ! with the latest in modem equipment, or Joe Gannon type doctors, UM's student Health Center is a modern as space
allows: and space is a major problem.
"The University has shown an interest in more services to more people. Not only students, but employees and staff as well,” Dr. M. Eugene Flipse, director of Health Center services said.
Flipse told of the situation several years ago when the Faculty Senate demanded the right to buy drugs at the Health Center.
"President Stanford and I agreed it would be a good idea, that it would save the students more money,” Flipse said.
Speaking about the future of the Health Center, Flipse was concerned that, "we either expand or shrivel up. We can't a -ford the luxuries of t h e Health Center while the costs keep rising.”
A few years ago students complained about having no doctor on duty at night. But Flipse felt it really didn’t pay.
“Most problems could have waited till the next day, and if they were really serious they could go to Doctors Hospital,” Flipse said.
Flipse tends to look at the problem from a strictly economic viewpoint.
"At night a doctor would cost from $60,000 to $80,000 annually. It's either convenience for a few or less for many. It’s all a decision on how to spend your money.” Flipse said.
The Hurricane inquired If it were possible for medical and dental stu-

In view of the increasing crime rate on campus, and reports of students being hassled by UM security officers, SBG Vice President Sami Burstyn has called for the establishment of a security review committee.
“Why can’t we have a committee composed of three administrators, three faculty members, and three students to hear and evaluate complaints about security?” Burstyn asked.
Currently, Burstyn said, no procedure exists for students to voice their complaints about security.
"How effective is security when students like Warren Glick can be robbed right on the Rock?” he asked.
Burstyn also said that students have the right to protection, but that security officers often overstep their responsibilities when they check students’ ID cards or tow their cars away.
"I sent letters to the people involved with security a long time ago, but there has been no response,” Burstyn told the Hurricane.
"I feel that this area has been neglected by the administration, and I simply can’t agree to the argument that “it’s the only way to turn it,’ ” he added.
“All year long students have been getting the shaft by a small minority of over zealous security officers, and there is no way for them to appeal arrests and hassles,” Burstyn said.
“I’ve personally spoken to several security officers, and many of them are completely dissatisifed with campus security. They have some good ideas about how campus security should be run, and I think that they should be heard.”
“There is something political that is preventing this from happening,” he said.
The committee for security review would have full power to make the necessary changes in campus security, Burstyn said.
“I want a reaction to the question of why we can’t have security evaluation,” he said.
“Campus security has got to be responsible to the students, not just the administration," concluded Burstyn.
