Summon Receives National Focus
By DAVE ROMASCO
News Editor
The Summon program here at UM has achieved national recognition in the professional college faculty newspaper, ‘‘The Chronicle”.
In its March 12 issue, “The Chronicle” singled out Summon for special mention in an article dealing with an HEW (Health, Education and
Welfare) survey which advocated community-service campus programs.
Summon, said “The Chronicle,” is “a fairly typical campus-based program”. The article further described Summon’s work in helping the socially disadvantaged get educational aid.

Students Hurt By Boycott

The movement organized by Dick Hayes, UM law student, to collect pledges from law students for nonparticipation in alumni funding for ten years after graduation, will not hurt the University, but the law students themselves.
Wilfred H. Charlton, director of Alumni Affairs, said “Hayes thinks that by holding the funds it will hurt the
University, it will not. He is only hurting himself and his fellow law students.
“Alumni programs are de-si g n e d for loan funds, improvement of facilities, and scholarships.”
Charlton emphasized that “such things as the light bill, sewage bill, water bill, maintenance and faculty salaries are not paid for through alumni monies. Tuition and other funds or grants take care of that."
He went on to say that the Law School alumni funding has paid the travel expenses of the Moot Court which has

until this summer.
According to Dean Robert Allen, initiator of the program, the decision for the delay came in part due to the concern the university had for the students living in three on-campus apartments which were slated to be demolished to make way for the Knight Center.
The students, some of them married students, would have had to be relocated in other apartments or dorms before the end of the fall semester at much inconvenience and possible cost. However, the project was postponed and the residents involved were notified at Thanksgiving that they could remain in their living quarters until June.
“We decided to hold off construction and use the time to raise additional funds in instructional technology and to obtain more equipment by the way of gifts,” Allan said.
Allan said that what the delay has cost the university will be made up in terms of a better building.
“It promises to be a very exciting facility for faculty, students and the community,” said Allan. “The center will bring outstanding lecturers from all over the world in to speak and will supply the latest instructional materials.”
Allan stressed that it will be an integral part of the university available to	all
students, undergraduates as
well.
Once completed, the new Conference Center will encompass within	its
complex a conference center, new offices and classrooms, a field house and two resi-

called the Newman Task Force after its head, Frank Newman of Stanford University, recommended the institution of federal programs to provide “limited educational benefits” to those who participate in programs such as Summon. In other words, a new GI bill based on community service.
The aim of such programs would be to provide students with experiences of life outside the classroom environment.
Norman Manasa, Summon director, was pleased with the article.
“I had the opportunity to speak to Mr. Newman last summer. It is not easy to squeeze a full explanation of the Summon program into a half-hour meeting, so I can understand the program might be viewed as “typical," Manasa said.
“The fact that Summon should receive specific mention in the Newman Report, over the thousands of other programs they must have seen, is an acknowledgement, I think, of the honorable and effective effort we have mounted here,” he said.
“We are also very pleased to have UM receive national notice for her pursuit of reform in higher education,'* Manasa said.

President Stanford made an appearance in front of a large crowd Friday at the Forum, to answer student questions about University policy.
One student raised the question of whether women should be excluded from Iron Arrow, UM’s highest men’s honorary.
Stanford replied that that question was being discussed in Iron Arrow now, and asked what should be done then, in the case of Mortar Board, the highest women’s honorary.
The student then asked if anything was being done about placing a woman psychologist on the UM sfaff.
Stanford said that there was no immediate plan, but he agreed that it should be worked on.
Dr. William Butler, vice president of student affairs, said that several women were being considered for the position.
“I know of one who is a feminist”, Butler said in answer to a request that a feminist be hired, “but the position will be filled according to academic qualifications, not political affiliations.
One student asked Stanford how he felt towards attrition.
“Ive been a -university president since I was 31,” Stanford said, “and I have al-w a y s seen students complaining about apathy in their fellow students. The attrition rate here is not unique,” he said. “Our attrition rate, and decreasing enrollment are consistent with the national average.
One student asked if the school is possibly accepting the wrong people, and that was the cause of the high attrition rate.
“I question the quality of the freshman class,” he said, “if their average SAT score is 900 combined.”
Stanford said that he was told that the average SAT score at UM was over 1000, and either his, or the student’s information was wrong.
Allen Richards, of Student Body Government (SBG). said that the 900 figure is what was presented to the SBG by Dean Hively, of the school of Arts and Sciences.
Butler commented that he had heard students remark that UM would take anybody, and that is simply was not true.
“Last year 7,000 students applied here, out of that,
4,000 were accepted as freshmen and less than half of them enrolled."
Richards asked Stanford what he was going to do about the 18 credit hour maximum students have requested, and said that he had heard that it had been left up to the president.
Dr. Jerome Catz, Chairman of the Academic Planning Committee, said that it was still under consideration.
“According to Dean Hively
it has passed the Dean’s council,” Richardslsaid.
Stanford said that he has always thought that it was academically unwise to let students take 18 credits.
A student who identified himself as a law major, questioned Stanford about the “extra assessment” students have in the law school.
“We operate in the black,” he said, “so why should our fees go up?”
“It is normal that medical, and law schools cost more than other schools, because of their libraries and other special facilities,” said Stanford said. “We can’t exempt the law students from the raise in fees just because the law school is making money, pretty soon we would not have any other schools.”
“Is the University appropriating money for it’s roads,” one student asked. “They are a blight to the
University, and a real blight to my tires.”
“We are trying to fix what we can,” Stanford said. He then suggested that the student park behind Pearson Hall in that “nearly deserted” parking lot. “It would hurt your feet, but it would help your tires,” Stanford said.
Kevin Poeppelman asked how much money has been lost on thhe program for

Jeff Jarrow Gives Final Pint Of Fraternity Sponsored Event

Greek Week's Blood Drive, ‘Most Successful In History’
By JUDI SULLIVAN
Of Th« Hurrican» St»«f
This year’s annual blood drive, listed among the main events of Greek Week proved to be one of the most successful drives in Greek Week’s history.
Jeff Jarrow, chairman of the blood drive, gave the last pint of blood bringing the total to 153 pints collected.
“There wasn’t a quiet moment the two days of the drive, we always had a big crowd. However, that last pint was a little hard to get,” he said.
Jarrow was happy with the
results of the drive and feels it will continue to be a successful part of Greek Week’s activities.
“I am very pleased with this years blood drive and with the turnout we had. I think the drive will continue to be successful each year,” he said.
Out of the 155 pints received, TKE fraternity placed first in the men’s division by donating 28 pints of blood.
The Little Sisters of ATO will receive a trophy along with TKE for placing first in the women's division with a donation of 9 pints.
ATO had the highest percentage of donors with 60% of their brothers giving
blood.
The Little Sisters of ATO also turned out the most members with 66% of the sisters donating.
The blood drive has annually' benefitted Timothy Strohbach, a Miami teenager with hemophilia. Known as the “royal disease,” hemophilia is a hereditary affliction in which the blood does not coagulate readily since the blood clotting factor is nonexistent.
In spite of the hemophilia, Timothy leads a relatively
normal life. He is a 10th grader at North Miami Beach High School. He enjoys doing magic tricks and in his leisure time he has performed in hotels on the Beach.
Timothy was the first poster boy for the National Hemophiliac Foundation in 1962.
The 155 pints collected in last week’s drive will go towards the 1200 to 1500 pints of blood Timothy requires annually.
Not all donors were Greeks accumulating points for their organizations, as one girl was sympathetic to the cause.

Free Legal Counsel Available On Campus |

Of Th« Hurrican« Staff
Being involved in a legal hassle can be a frustrating and often frightening experience. If you were to ba arrested, fingerprinted and booked, would you know what to expect?
If the answer is no Student Body Government (SBG) can help you.
SBG instituted a program last May to provide legal counsel for full time UM undergraduates in the person of attomey-at-law James Gilbride.
Gilbride, a 1971 UM law school	graduate, is
employed by SBG for a minimum fee and is responsible	to president
Saini Burstyn, treasurer Phil Holtsberg, and the UM administration.
“Students who need legal advice are referred to me (by SBG). Sometimes legal advice is not really necessary, but the student wants an objec-11 v e opinion on some problem,” Gilbride said.
He will help you with “personal, extra -UM” questions.
No expense is incurred by the individual student if he seeks legal counsel from Mr. Gilbride.
Gilbride retains a peculiar status in his relation to UM. He represents the student, yet is ultimately responsible to the administration. For this reason he is limited by contract guidelines to taking no action against the University.
•‘The best part of the program is that through my services SBG gives the student the opportunity to have peace of mind in an
often hostile environment,” Gilbride said.
A former assistant debate coach and moot law champion at UM, Gilbride has received 125 student queries about legal problems since last May.
“The entire gamut of legal problems has been run,” Gilbride said.
These problems have ranged from traffic tickets to drug arrests. Questions involving shoplifting penalties, tax and social security payments, divorce, consumer protection and the military draft have also been examined.
“If a student wants to get his security deposit back for a private apartment, or has trouble with a traffic warrant, he could be in a quaridry,” Gilbride said.
Many students at UM have found it difficult to
rent private residences in Coral Gables and surrounding areas because landlords consider students undesirable tenants. One student asked Gilbride if this would be in violation of civil rights legislation.
Gilbride said this type of discrimination would be hard to litigate against because of its private, local nature.
“The matter deserves some research, but a lot of legal maneuvering would be necessary,” he said.
A specialist in student rights, Gilbride would like to see more guidance given to the student new to UM and South Florida concerning his legal responsibilities.
“We should have some sort of pamphlet outlining legal procedures at UM," Gilbride said.
“I have a brother who is a 1111111111! hemophiliac and I know the — difficulties he has experienced throughout his life. There were times when it was difficult to get a donor when he needed a transfusion,” she said.
IFC has been supporting Timothy for about eight years and hopes to continue breaking it’s donation record in the years to come.
