No one thought that Campus Sports and Recreation could do it in the 1990-91 school year. Without the CSR intern, none of it would have happened. Tracy Thomas, a senior from Washing- ton State University arrived at the University of Miami in August to help. More likely, she was intent on seeing the sun before she graduated from col- lege, but as the intern this year she played an important role in the phe- nomenon. Of course, she was not the sole contributor. Like all of the people at CSR this year, Tracy became inextri- cably involved in a plot of which she was unaware. N ext to the Hurricanes acceptance in the Big East conference, this was the most enormous incident at the university, and it became known to tCanes throughout the land as the Great Gathering. Lists recently compiled show that over 150 members of the Campus Sports community were directly in- volved in the event. In order to tell the story ofCSR this year, it is important to better understand a few of the key contributors, their motivations and their stories. The order in which participants are discussed is in no way related to the significance of their input in the Great Gathering, as any one of them could tell you. . .and most of them probably would. None of it would have been possible without the Director of Cam- pus Sports and recreation. Norm Par- sons, often referred to on campus as the Wellness Guru, was instrumental in captivating the oat bran segment of the university community. Alumni from around the globe were enthralled by his most popular speech, ttWell, Iim well nowt, which serves today as the motto of the National Wellness Committee. He introduced to faculty and students the six dimensions of wellness tsocial, occupational, spiritual, physical, intel- lectual and emotionaD and instructed them in ways to incorporate the well- ness lifestyle. The 1990 Wellness Fair was a culmination of Norm,s efforts toward health awareness and involvement. The fair offered information on sex, drugs, nutrition, health and lifestyle manage- ment. Hands-on activities included a massage table, a Red Cross blood drive and a most popular game called Sexual J eopardy. The 1990 Wellness Fair cata- pulted Mr. Parsons in to the national wellness spotlight. In the months fol- lowing, he was engaged in speeches and fairs at 42 universities in 26 states. It was the year, many of his peers sug- gested, that Norm reached his wellness peak. Some suggest that his sudden plummet from fame to mediocrity caused the eating binge in 91; the fol- lowing depression brought on both the cigarette addiction of Christmas ,92 and the donut dependency the succeeding year. Whatever the reason, Mr. P seems to be back to his normal, well self these days, and no one will ever forget his role in the Great Gathering at CSR. Of course, Bob Wyner, the Di- rector of Menis Intramurals, was also a key player in the events this year at Campus Sports. He coordinated nine intramural sports with over 500 par- ticipating teams and nearly 6000 par- ticipants. It was a record for intramu- rals at the University of Miami, though the domain that truly saw improve- ment and is recognized today for its relevance in the Great Gathering was ;tee. ents cial, ltel- cted V W ,. , veH: 7n ' . ; . 7v?: . lJzeuev ,? :M .

Mr. Wyner, Bob to his friends tBobby to his momi, began that season with a publicity blitz that never really ended. He believed that if one knew an event was happening he would be more likely to participate in it. It was a unique theory that be- came the theme of his best-selling auto- biography released surprisingly soon after CSR was nationally lauded for the universal importance of the Great Gath- ering. The Special Events program broke numerous records, including that for the number of special events sched- uled by a university...a total of 34. The most popular programs, though all doubled in participation from the previ- ous year, were the road races and the sand volleyball tournaments. The three road races, Pumpkin Pursuit, Turkey Trot and the Bunny Hop, performed a hat trick not yet repeated in Florida, al- though Massachusetts twhere Bob ran the Boston Marathon again this yeari has tied in entrances and record-break- ing times. RECREA Kevin Pauley practices his jumper on the outdoor courts at the Lane Recreation Center. tphoto by Michael Royi The events catered to 3050 runners...2017 of which were in cos- tume for the holidays. Sand volleyball came close to those numbers in only seven tournaments. The Labor Day event brought out 70 teams, and from there the entries never stopped. CSR sand volleyball this year is believed to be responsible for its incorporation in the Olympics, and for the start of Monday Night Volleyball on FOX the following year. When Bob began moon- lighting as a sports announcer he swore only to comment on sand volleyball, to this day, he has kept his word. He hasnit spoken about the Red Sox or the Celtics since. Student employees played an important role at Campus Sports and Recreation this banner year. The great- est input came from the supervisors, in- , The Lane door and out,lant1 one Who certainly Recreation deserves mention is Matt Barron.

When Matt shaved his beard for senior pictures this year he seemed to fade into oblivion. Everyone forgot about the work he did Monday through Thursday nights keeping the intramu- ral program on its feet. Whether it was football, soccer, volleyball or bowling. . .Matt worked every night like a champion. The programs and general programming at CSR in 1990 were obviously important in the Great Gath- ering. Aerobics, Leisure Sports and Club Sports accounted for 40 percent of the total participation in CSR. The co- ordinators and scheduling gurus, in- cluding Rhonda DuBord, Director of Womenls Intramurals, Dawn Hergen- rother, Graduate Assistant and stu- dent employee Kim Johnson, were influential and impressive this year. Their hard work might have gone un- noticed, though, had it not been for the upkeep and improvement of the Lane Recreation Center and the Campus Sports and Recreation facilities. This brings us, then, in the story of CSR, to Solomon Graham, Athletic Maintenance Supervisor, a CSR staff member extraordinaire. Solomon has been around as long as anyone can remember. Some even suggest that the Great Gathering was his subtle doing. A few years after it happened, he left CSR and is believed to be fishing in Channel 5 in the Florida Keys today. Legend credits him with building Lane Recreation Center brick by brick, al- though it is made of concrete. Solomon spent his years at CSR keeping the intramural fields beauti- ful, the LRC walls painted, the court intact and plumbing, lighting and over- all electricity in working order. The Great Gathering may have happened at some other department if Solomon hadnlt kept CSR standing, and for this, his part in the event Will never be for- gotten. tPortions of this article were magnified to emphasize the success of CSRJ John Regan of Sigma Chi fraternity attempts to block a Bay Baly spike as ' referee George , Quiroz looks on during a sand volleyball: tournament. tphota by Lisa Vincentil Student Life 15 Miami Beach is loaded with night time attractions.

Miami is a colorful, Vibrant city. It is also well known for its nightlife, with plenty of clubs and bars to keep a typical UM student occupied every night of the week. Being in Miami certainly did not confine you to only one tlhott spot, however. And judging by the promotional flyers that were plastered at strategic places across campus al- most every day of the week, there were many places from which to choose. Dubbed the newest in-spot, South Beach was comprised of newly renovated art deco hotels, right on the beach, and an area containing trendy, inventive restaurants and outdoor cafes, funky art shops, and, of course, bars. Driving down Ocean Drive on a Friday or Saturday night was a great way to get a genuine feel for a typical, trendy night in Miami. With reggae music emanating from bars such as the Cleve- lander, you knew you were in the right place at the right time. Another popu- lar night spot with UM students was Penrods, located right on Miami Beach. Here students engaged in activities ranging from volleyball during the day and dancing at night. ltPenrods was wall to wall people? said Alex Tenta. ltDespite the smoke and the bad danc- ing, I did have a good time and met a lot of interesting people? Miami Beach was probably the most popular option with its many different types of clubs. For example, Club Nu offered various themes each night, and the music ranged from house to progressive. Coconut Grove was an artsy Village located only miles from campus. It was also a popular night spot this past year. The main streets were lined with little shops, cafes, clubs and bars. During all hours of the night, it was easy to find many UM students stroll- ing up and down the streets having a good time. Said Cari Golden, ttWhen I went out, I went to the Grove because of the cool shops, and because you were always able to find semi-interesting people there? According to Damian Albert and Chuck Hillman, llThe Grove was cool. We hung out at Lime in the Grove because of the bartender, Woody? People didn,t always opt for going into clubs when in the Grove, however. ttThe window shopping is endless. My friends and I would go into the Grove often just to people-watch and browse in the shops, t said Randy Kraftsow. Popular weeknight hang- outs were located in the Grove. UM- sponsored nights at the Peacock Cafe on Thursday nights were popular. A popular bar frequented by UM stu- dents was the Tavern in the Grove. Many other well-known weeknight hangouts were located on Key Biscayne convenient because of its proximity to campus. Places such as Great Barrier Reef, Sundayls on the Bay, and Ventanals hosted special nights for UM students. providing dancing and dring specials and a great social atmosphere. Though it wasn,t hard for most students to get around Miami, many opted to remain on campus taking advantage of the convenience of the Rathskeller. This past year the Rat brought to us many unique and excit- ing and exciting activities. Saturdays at the Rat was popular due to the Gut- buster Comedy Series. PeRry COMO Night was also a great draw of UM students on Thursday nights. IlThe Rat was great because it was a conven- ient place to go and hang around with your friends and have a good time? said J ennifer Bielen. Rarely was there a night when one had to search for something to do. Nightlife was far from lacking in Mi- ami and the students took advantage of the endless opportunities to the full- est extent. OUT ON THE O , W N BY LESLEY ABRAVANEL Student Life 17 l e A ' BURST BY: a J OY ROWLAND Student Life 18 UM celebrated its 64th Homecoming with a KALEIDOSCOPE of activities and events which departed from tradition and gave the annual extravaganza a fresh look. ttApathy, shmapathyii said Todd Misemer, chairman of the Home- coming Executive Committee, when discussing this years outstanding stu- dent, faculty, administrative, and alumni involvement in the Univer- sity 0fMiamfs 64th Homecoming eX- travaganza. The twelve day ttKALEI- DOSCOPETT of events brought Hurri- canes of the past and present together to celebrate old traditions and t0 Christen new ones in the spirit of fun and comraderie. a The Red Cross sucked our blood, a draining 970 pints worth, to begin the festivities on a philanthropic note. President Edward Foote and Misemer were among the first gener- ous donors of the drive which sur- passed last years Homecoming dona- tion by 124 pints. That Friday night brought J 0e Piscapo and The Cover Girls to the University Center Plaza for the ane nual Hurricane Howl. The Hersey- bornh former Saturday Night Live regular and star of the film Johnny Dangerously amazed the audience with his flawless impressions of croonerhfilm star Frank Sinatra and rocker David Lee Roth Opening for Piscapo, the fe- male trio The Cover Girls had stu- dents jamming 0n the Plaza to their popular dance hit Show Me? Student involvement had the most profound effect at Saturdays Hurricanes Help the Hometown, an Outreach Day Which placed students with homeless children, AIDS pa- tients, and barrels upon barrels of paint for a five hour period. Other students built homes for migrant farm workers, judged childrenis Hallow- een costume contests and kept Miami beautiful by cleaning up at several charities and environmental areas. Approximately 900 students became volunteers in the event which was co- coordinated with the Department of Volunteer Services at UM. The event also raised money for Dade Marine I nstitute, a program for the rehabili- tation of juvenile delinquents, each organization was asked to contribute five dollars for each active member amounting to a total of $4,700. The day ended with a barbeque 0n the plaza where the volunteers shared their experiences with the other members of their organizations. The first weekend of events concluded at Gusman Hall Where eighteen women competed with the anticipation of becoming Miss Uni- versity of Miami 1990 and represent- ing UM at the Miss Florida pageant, where they could ultimately continue to the Miss America pageant. The waiting was over. Merrily J ackson, a junior representing Mahoney Resi- dential College, left Gusman Hall with the coveted title. Jackson, who performed a classical piano piece, was followed by an equally talented court. These fine women were first runner-up, Lisa King; second runner-up, Allison Bass; third runner-up, Debbie Pujol; and fourth runner-up, M. Kaye Rollins. The 1990 Homecoming Ball took to the seas aboard the SeaEscape Scandinavian Sun. The cruise was highlighted by the traditional dancing and dining plus one engage- ment and one passenger overboard. tPhoto by Michael Royt Duhng halftime of the Homecoming football game against Pitts- burgh, Miss UM 1990 Merrilly Jackson takes the traditional drive with Sabastian the Ibis around the Orange Bowl.

In addition to the Miss Florida pageant, Jackson and the reigning Mr. UM was asked by the Cotton Bowl committee to represent the Uni- versity in Dallas at the New Years Day Cotton Bowl game. President Edward Foote offi- cially kicked off the weekday events at Opening Ceremonies, Monday af- ternoon on the Plaza. Dr. Butler, Vice-President for Student Affairs, and Mr. Joe Paneta, Director of Alumni Relations, also lent words of encouragement to the crowd. For the first time commuters, faculty and ad- ministrators were able to take time from their busy schedules to partici- pate at this midday affair.

The adjustment to college life is different for everyone. Some students take the short road and feel at home Within the first few weeks; others are challenged by the longer road, which winds them through several months of getting used to the tcollege experience? Whichever road students fol- low, there is one very important person who can help ease that adjustment and suggest ways to find the balance neces- sary for a successful college career. That person is the resident assistant, a.k.a. tithe RA? The RAs are part of the UM residential college systemea system which integrates living and learning. The residential colleges provide a set- ting in which students begin to grow and learn from all of the experiences, opportunities and people that surround them on a daily basis. RAs are key people in making this system work. All residents assistants are required to attend a two-week training session at the end of August, before students arrive and classes begin. This training consists of seminars and thands-ont experiences, Which help prepare the RAs for the year ahead. these seminars cover everythingefrom icebreaker activities to crisis control to bulletin board decorations to drug and alcohol confrontations. Training, how- ever, can only provide the background material-a foundationewhich the RAs must apply to the various situ- ations they encounter. Student Life 26 A resident assistant has one of the toughest-and beste jobs a stu- dent can have on a college campus. He or she is responsible for floor programs, building-wide programs, maintaing control, keeping records and commu- nity and staff development. Of course, this is all in addition to the five or six classes that demand the remaining few hours of an RA,s busy schedule. An RAls role is multi-faceted and each part of that role works to- gether to form an excellent resource person. As .a counselor, an RA helps students deal With the many adjust- ments, stresses and crises they face throughout the year. Registration, move-in day, a new roommate, the first day of class: these issues are simple for returning students but can be real problems for the new ones who, at the same time, want to feel accepted and are afraid to ask for help. An RA,s most difficult role is that of mediator in disciplinary situ- ations. The RA is expected to confront residents who Violate university poli- cies and deal With them in a profes- sional, respectful manner. The hard part is that RAs are also students and the people they may confront are their peers. The situation is often uncom- fotable, but RAs find a balance and help students understand they are part of a community. Paperwork and programs. An RA helps keep records and document incidents in an administrative capac- A UNIQUE BY CHRISTINE THOMPSON ity. More and more students prefer living in the residential colleges; this means more paperwork for residence life staff. This may not be a disadvan- tage, though. As Sheri Schmid, an RA in Hecht Residential College, says, tiWe must be doing something right if more students like living on campus? Programs are another impor- tant part of the RA job. RAs create a community feeling and atmosphere by organizing recreational, social and educational programs. Residents can take part in activities ranging from movie nights to volleyball barbecues to floor dinners and even frog hunts. As a first year RA, I learned that food was the key to a successful program. It almost guarantees 10001; turnoutf says Sayra Chi of Hecht Resi- dential College. The RA serves one of the most comprehensive roles in residence life. It is a challenge to be called to do so many tasks and hold a variety of re- sponsibilities, While shaping an educa- tion. But this is all part of college life and an RA is a link to successful com- munity living.

Photo by Robert NoeD Student Life 28 aouacwwg BY CHRISTINE THOMPSON Safety 0n college campuses has always been a serious issue. UM, like many other universities, offered its students the best in protection and security services. Miami...big city, big crime. Thatis the assumption people tend to make, especially after M iami Vice deco- rated our futuristic image With bullet holes and lionly-in-Miamili scenes. The University of Miami feels the impact of such an impression, fielding the ques- tions and concerns of students and parents regarding campus safety. UM has an extensive program Which promotes personal safety and security both on and off campus. The Department of Public Safety realizes the University is not immune to theft, vandalism or other crimes and, there- fore, offers students a service-oriented program to fit their needs. Public Safety,s Student Secu- rity Escort Patrol provides free security escorts for all students, staff or faculty members. The service runs from early evening to the early morning hours, seven days a week. Security Patrol officers are full-time students who work for Public Safety. They are trained in radio procedure, traffic control, patrol techniques, health emergencies and reporting suspicious or hazardous ac- tivities. They can not get involved in a confrontation, but instead must observe and report the incident to campus p0- lice. The residential colleges are an important link in the University,s secu- rity network. Each college requires identification from everyone entering the building during the evening. This helps to ensure the safety of the fami- lies and students Who make the resi- dential colleges their home. Only stu- dents with a tCane Card Who are resi- dents of a particular college may enter after hours. All others must be signed in as guests by the students they are Visiting. Public Safety Call Boxes are also key to the success of UM security services. At eleven locations across campus students can find police call boxes marked by a blue light above the box. These phones are direct lines to Public Safety and are available in the event of an emergency or any situation requiring police assistance. The safety phones can also be used to request a security escort from anywhere on cam- pus. The University of Miami pro- vides a Wide range of safety services, all of Which are staffed by well-trained students and professional police offi- cers deputized by the Chief of Police of Coral Gables. There is an emphasis, though, on personal responsibility and common sense as well. Public Safety stresses the importance of taking pre- cautions-locking dorm room doors, walking in well-lighted areas, using the security escortseto increase pre- vention of crime. The Crime Prevention Unit of the Department of Public Safety offers an engraving service to mark valuable items, free bicycle registration and crime prevention programs. The secu- rity system of UM continues to develop and improve, increasing safety aware- ness on campus and in the community. Student Life 29 THE ARTS BEAUT Y AND THE BY CHRISTINE THOMPSON Student Life 30 The University ofMiami is home to the annual Beaux Arts F esival, which was, once again , a collection of the finest arts and crafts in M iami . The annual Beaux Arts Festi- val drew thousands of browsers, critics and art collectors to the University of Miami campus. Booths and tents lined Stanford Drive, and Visitors wandered through the maze of artists kiosks on the grounds surrounding the Lowe Art Museum. Beaux Arts, which sponsored the two-day fundraising event, is an organization of volunteers dedicated to the success, support and continuing de- velopment of the Lowe Art Museum. The organization was founded in 1952 to promote community interest in art. In the last 39 years, Beaux Arts contributed more than $900,000 to the Lowe Art Museum. The organization also raised approximately $50,000 for the Lowe from this yearls festival alone. Money was raised through refreshment, poster and T-shirt sales. Fees were also collected from participating artists for an invitation to attend the festival, registration and for booth rental. By Viewing slides of the works of various artists, the Festival of Arts Committee decides by jury which art- ists will be invited to display their work at the show. Committee Chairman Andrea Sharp, a finance professor in the School of Business Administration, estimated that less than four out of every 10 artists who submitted slides were accepted to this yearls festival. A total of more than 240 artists from Florida and around the country dis- played and sold a variety of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, graphics, photog- raphy and jewelry. This year, for the first time, the Beaux Arts Festival featured an ex- hibit of UM graduate students art. ttFestival organizers thought it was a good idea not only because of the students participation, but because its a professional thing for students? said Darby Bannard, chairman of the de- partment of art and art history at UM. The festival also featured a cornucopia of food items: everything from falafel to fruit-laden funnel cakes; polish sausage made to order and Haagen-Dazs carts along the festival border; fruit shakes to sweet corn cakes. Something for everyone! The family-oriented festival offered a Childrenis Art Park where youngsters created their own art proj- ects. And there were even hourly art classes, conducted by the Beaux Arts members, for the grownups, too. The Beaux Arts Festival turned 40 this year and is considered the long- est-running of the current festivals in South Florida. Two students appreciate the works of art in one of the 230 booths on showcase at the the Beaux. Photo by Lisa Vincenm The Coral Gables campus provides the perfect setting for a lively art festival and also the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Carni Gras is the largest stu- dent run festival in the southeastern United States. As the spring semester arrives each year, students and the community alike look forward to this traditional major spring event. The excitement began in Sep- tember of 1989 when the committee was chosen. From that point on, we feverishly worked to bring the univer- sity community a new spring event that would attract people of all ages. Origi- nating in 1951 as the Chi Omega Sun Festival, Carni Gras has gone through many changes over the years. On March 23,24 and 25, Cami Gras 1990 was unveiled. We presented miniature golf, twenty five arts and crafts booths, ten game booths, clowns, comedians, sports, food booths, music and Air Ball volleyball to name a few of our events. Situated around the Uni- versity Center, Carni Gras was the focal point of activity during those three spring days. Air-ball volleyball was one of the highlights of Carni Gras 1990. This volleyball game, which is played inside a giant air-matress, attracted wide-eyed spectators all weekend. Air-ball volley- ball was such a huge success that Stu- dent Activities brought it back for Carni Gras 1991. Saturday, March 24 was also our version of iCane Kids Day. There were puppet shows, clown face painting, games, food events, and magic shows designed just for the children of South Florida. I still remember childrens, faces covered in white as they searched in a bowl of flour for M8zM,s during one of the food events. The local police and fire departments also shared in the fun. The police brought out their canines for a demonstration while the firemen spoke to the children about fire safety. A few of my memories also speak to the atmosphere of the weekend- FUN, RELAXED, and EXCITING. Clowns making animal balloons for all the chil- dren even though they themselves had only learned how to make them a few weeks earlier, jugglers teaching a group of high school students the art of jug- gling, college students singing their hearts out for a trip to New York during the talent show, a clown giving a happy little boy a Carni Gras lollipop, uncoor- dinated UM students riding big wheels for a chance at a prize, and an eX- hausted committee relaxing inside aire ball volleyball after a long weekend. Carni Gras 1990 was also for a good cause. All of our profits went to the Childrenls Psychiatric Center of South Miami. Before this year, Carni Gras had never made a donation to an outside charity. But, with a lot of hard work and the support of the commu- nity, our vendors, and of course, our sponsors we were able to donate over $5,000 to the residential program of the Children,s Psychiatric Center.

For years to come, Carni Gras will remain a favorite event of the spring semester. One exciting aspect of Carni Gras is that every year it changes with the creativity and innovativeness of the Carni Gras committee. But, as always, the tradition of a major spring event will continue. And the tradition did continue on February 1 and 2, 1991. The center of attraction moved to the University Center Plaza, but the concept remained the sameefun for all. A new event, Preview, kicked off the activities. Preview was held the day before Carni Gras began and fea- tured a glimpse of what was to come. Promo Night at the Rathskel- lar was the next Carni Gras sponsored event. In addition to the normal Promo activities, T-shirts, mugs, frisbees and keychains were passed out, courtesy of Carni Gras and their sponsor, Ameri- can Airlines. Friday and Saturday afternoon featured vendors and booths sponsored town Miami. Bands once agains appeared throughout the event, including two local bands, The Goods and Coral Gables. Saturday featured the return of the Air Walk Volleyball tournament, co-sponsored by CSR, which was again a huge success. The festivities concluded Sat- urday night on the shores of Lake Osceola with the Saturn V Laser Light Show with a classic rock theme. Carni Gras 1991 brought back the largely successful Air Walk Volleyball. Again, the tourna- ment was run by Campus Sports and Recreation, who have consid- ered making the Air Ball Tourna- ment an annual event.

The city of Miami offers every form of entertainment from major off- Broadway productions of Les Miser- ables and M. Butterfly to Miami Arena appearances by Paul Simonis Rhythm of the Saints concert and Gloria Estefanis return to live performances. The city of Miami and the sur- rounding suburbs are loaded with an excessive amount of comedy clubs in- cluding, Counuts and the Funny Bone, which offer the finest of amateur and professional comedians. The city ofMiami has the NFLis Dolphins, the NBA,s Heat and the Baltimore Orioles for spring training baseball. So the question is, how can the University entice students to stay on campus? What could UM possibly offer that could not be found elsewhere? Enter Hurricane Productionse the University of Miamiis concert and entertainment promoters. Each year, the Student Activ- ity Fee Allocation Committee provides Hurricane Productions With funds to bring to the University bands, comedi- ans and other types of entertainment appealing to the college community. Hurricane Productions began the 1990-91 season, uncharacteristi- cally, with a contest. But this was no ordinary contest. Club M TV came to the Rathskeller and turned the Univer- sity pub into a flashy, glitzy dance club for the first stop along their tour of college campuses. Club MTV, the 1990,s version Student Life 36 of American Bandstand, brought six of its regulars to put on a show of their owneperforming choreographed rou- tines t0 Technotronicis itGet Up? and ttVougeii by Madonna. And what would an MTV production be without fog machines and multicolored spotlights to smoke and illuminate the Rat? But the main event was the contest. Platforms were erected, three for the six MTV dancers and one for the 140 UM contestants, who took turns dancing Via the democratic ttake-a- numberi, system. Wendy McSwain, Club M TV casting director, chose 10 semi-final- ists, who danced for her again and then a third time after shuffling partners. ttSometimes people have set partners they audition with? McSwain said. tt1 want to see if they can adapt? After all was danced and done, junior J ane Monreal and sophomore Drew Skinner won the all expense paid trips to New York for a Club MTV ap- pearance at the Palladium night club. Tim Hinz, UM,s MTV campus representative, said of the contest, I thought that the show was a complete success and all who attended had an incredible time? Hinz, who cooridanted MTV activities on campus and re- searched college trends for MTV, be- lieved that the dance contest Will be fondly remembered. ttThe event lives on through the large number of Club M TV shirts seen being worn by students on campus? said Hinz.

Photo by Dave Bergmanl The following night, Hurricane Produc- tions brought Alekals At- tic t0 the Rat. Had the band not been led by actor River Phoenix, it probably would not have left the garage. Tim Hankins, Violist for the band, described their music as ttalter- native in the purest sense of the word? River Phoenix seemed annoyed that students were exploiting his act- ing career, but then again, if not for that acting career, he would not have been in the Rat. Hurricane Productions then teamed up with the Homecoming com- mittee for Hurricane Howl, the start of a week of KALEIDOSCOPE. To open the show on the Uni- Student Life 38 versity Center Plaza, the Cover Girls graced the stage, skimpy outfits and all, to perform their hits ttShow Med and llMy Heart Skips a Beat? Although the crowd enjoyed watching the girls hop and bop on stage, and sing, too, they were all there for the main attraction. LIVE...MIAMI...BIG...VERY BIG...STEROIDS?...PISCOPO!l! Ten years after his debut on Saturday Night Live, comedian Joe Piscopo came to UM to perform his show. To call it a stand-upll would not do his act justice. Piscopois show was part stand-up, part impressions and part musical, or as J 0e describes it, ltA rock and roll comedy show? Before the show, Pis- copo described his routine: itl bring my whole drum kit down and we play the drums. Ilve got a saxo- phone; we do the saxophone bit. 111 do a piece called The White Boy Rap? tTll bring my lFats, outfit, we do tRappinl Fatsl down there...And, yes, I do Sinatra, so its like all around fun? Piscopo followed that descrip- tion to the letter. He also included students in one act as four UM girls were chosen to dance, in bikinis, be- hind J oe,s version of David Lee Roth. The only criticism was that most of his material had been seen before, and before....Even Piscopo admitted it was a greatest hits act, til do everything that you have pretty much seen me do through the years? N o matter. Piscopo still does a better Sinatra than tOli Blue Eyes himself. The next gig arranged by Hur- ricane Productions was the Smither- eens. The popular rock band from New J ersey came to the Plaza for a 15 song, 90 minute set which spanned their career. Fronted by Pat DiNizio, the Smithereens started off slow which led DiNizio to warn the audience, ttIf you came to take a nap, youire definately in the wrong place? After that piece of advice, the band proceeded to tear the house, or the patio, down. While performing their standards ttBlood and Roses, and ttBehind the Wall of Sleep? the crowd become more involved and enthused. Although the most common reaction to the show was, tilt was loud? the Smitheens put on a good show en- joyed by a11-including those listening from their rooms across campus. Hurricane Productions brought in other bands, including Nuclear Val- dez and Coral Gables, and also hosted comedians J onathan Soloman and Sue Kalinsky. One of the more cultural exhib- its on campus was also hosted by Hur- ricane ProductionseiThe Photographs, by Rolling Stone magazine. As the UC filled With an aro- matic mix of Suisse Mocha and Cafe Vienna tthe exhibit was sponsored by Maxwell Housei, the gallery was greeted anxiously by the University. ttThe Photographs, was a col- lection of the finest photos and images which have appeared in Rolling Stone during the past 25 years.

The most Common attribute to Miamiis popularity was the beach. Sparkling blue waters, soft white sand and the hot tropical sune-qualities which were well known to lure many college students to the University of Miami. tLiVing all my life by the beach, itis become a part of my lifestyle. . . itis my asylum. . .Why go anywhere e1se?,,, said Alycia Spitzmueller, a freshman from Bradenton, Florida. South Florida offered a variety of beach hang outs. If meeting muscle- bound bods or babes in bikinis was your reference, then South Beach was cer- tainly the place for you. South Beach, located at the beginning of Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, was best known for Penrodis on the Beach. This was the ultimate place to play, party, and just soak up the rays. Penrodis was famous for its beauty contests and volleyball tournaments during the day, and at night it transformed itself into a dance club with various featured live per- formers. Also located on South Beach was the famous thth Street? The re- laxing atmosphere of 10th street made it the perfect spot to enjoy such activi- ties as jogging, biking, and skating. Another popular beach spot was Key Biscayne. For romantic interludes the beach behind the Sonesta and Sheraton hotels provided that special ambiance. Crandon Park, on the other hand, was mostly a beach for people to engage in family picnics and group gath- erings. Hobie Beach, also located on Key Biscayne, was a water sports ha- ven during the day. Sailboats, Windsur- fers, and jet skis were common sights on Hobie. This beach also had a repu- tation for its nocturnal activity with its bonfires and other drinking parties. If the local beach scene was not enough, there were many other nearby Florida beach get-a-ways. The Ft. Lauderdale strip, for example, was known for its night clubs and Spring Break events. Further north, Cocoa Beach was popular for its surfing condi- tions. On the west coast, Marco Island and Naples were great places to un- wind from the stress of school. In the south, the Keys were famous Florida tourist attractions with Key West known for being Hemingwayis home and Islamorada, on Key Largo, always crowded because of the Tiki Bar. The warm waters and sunny weather attracted many vacationers and college students each year. The beaches were kept relatively clean and were conviently located. itI came from New York and I was tired of swimming in sewage. Coney Island is a mess. Beach volleyball is something else I enj oy and there isn,t any of that in New York? said Chris Perez, sophomore. With so many varied activities to offer, it is no wonder that Miami beaches are a major attraction for prospective Uni- versity of Miami students. GINA CABRERA LEAH METELNIKOW ' and LAURA SUAREZ Student Life 41 The S tudent Government went from saw to sweet as the 1990-91 administration cleansed SG'S image and improved student life. iiWelre setting a new standard? This was the motto of the University of Miami Student Government for the 1990-91 school year. In years past, many UM students expressed a lack of trust and a sense of displeasure with the SG,s actions. With these concerns in mind, the Cabinet and Senate organ- ized several programs to project the new, iikinder, gentlerli attitude of SG. Student Government members began focusing on the positive aspects of stu- dent life and the diversity of our Uni- versity community. Membership in Cabinet com- mittees reached high levels, absent for many years, while the Senate discussed the addition of new committees to ad- dress the concerns of students. As the year progressed, stu- dents began to notice that the focus of Student Government was changing from inward squabbles to a sincere desire to make the University a better place for all members of the campus community. As concern for domestic prob- lems, such as homelessness and envi- ronmental awareness, increased, SG mobilized students to volunteer in shelters, clean up local beaches and serve lunches in soup kitchens. Student Government and the administration worked together to enhance the University,s recycling system to include the residence halls and other prime campus locations. After a years absence, faculty evaluations returned sporting a new, easy-to-read format and improved dis- tribution so that all students had ac- cess to them. President Irwin P. Raij laid the groundwork to create the first lobbying group for Floridals private university students. His efforts led him to a meeting with Florida Governor Lawton Chiles in Tallahassee at the governors home. The two discussed several topics of unique concern to private school stu- dents. As the year progressed, several SG presidents from private Florida universities expressed interest in making the new organization success- ful. After negotiations over the summer and into the fall of 1990, the UM administration approved a long- time SG request and implemented an on-campus convenience store. The store was an immediate success, confirming SG confidence in its Viability. Student Government represen- tatives met with Provost Luis Glaser and other administrators to ensure they kept student interests in mind as they contemplated the inevitable increase in undergraduate tuition. Concrete results developed from the meetings, including: a lower-than-projected tui- tion increase, a new position in the Career Planning and Placement Office to assist seniors in marketing them- selves to potential employers and the funding for the installation of on-cam- pus phones in classroom facilities across campus. After a request from resident students, SG executives met with Dr. Robert Redick, director of Residence Halls, to ask that mailboxes be installed in Stanford and Hecht Residential Col- leges. Redick approved the request and the mailboxes were ready for use at HGOVERNMENT POLITICS FROM : THE .P'TBY TOM B.

During Homecoming 1990, the Senate passed legislation authorizing SG to fund several shuttles to take students to South Miami to see the Homecoming Parade. SG members also assisted in other activities for this event. The SG members also contin- ued to provide MetroRail passes for UM sporting events at the Orange Bowl and the Miami Arena. Storm Fronte-a group organized to help students sup- port Hurricane athletics-debuted and WgWJgWWWK 15M; quickly became a source for true school spirit. Times were changing in the world and so were the attitudes of the Student Government members at the University of Miami. Gone were the scandalous headlines appearing in the pages of the M iami H urricane, replaced by coverage of the sincere commitment to students and their ideals. At their annual retreat, SG members adopted the following iimis- sion statement, which should be the code for all SG leaders of the future. SG Mission Statement iiThe University of Miami Student Government is committed to promot- ing cooperation, fostering a sense of community and improving student life through student awareness, with the intent of supporting school spirit, stu- dent unity and diversity. Furthermore, SG shall act as the voice Ofstudents and as a bridge to the administration while setting standards in the best interest of the student body? Student Life 43 S MIAMI LENDS A H N ' BY ' RITU GUPTA Student Life 44 The volunteerism bug hit the University of M iami and brought with it awareness and desire for change. Although only two years into this decade, the 1990s has definitely formed an identity of its own. In many respects, this identity is a reaction to the materialism tishop till you drop,, attitude of the 808. This identity can be described as one dedicated to making change, be it politically, socially, or spritually. Change and reform are evident in all aspects of society, in all corners of the world. The revolutionary changes in Europe are a product of the 1990s dedication to change. Another important characteristic of the 90s identity is concern. This concern is applicable everywhere from the envi- ronment to mankind. This honest concern coupled with the dedication to change has emerged as a new force of this decade-Volunteerism. Volunteerism is not a new idea or a brain child of the 90s. Throughout history, people have given, shared, of- fered, or, more specifically, tivolun- teeredil their time, services and re- sources to others. But in the past few years, volunteerism has been espoused by a new group of people and, in effect, taken on a whole new meaning. Volun- teerism is becoming associated with younger generations, and indeed it is the youth of the world that is support- ing and leading this movement. A rep- resentative group of the younger gen- eration is the college student, With whom this movement has gained both popularity and strength. College cam- puses everywhere are bubbling with community service activities and proj- ects. Florida is a fine example of this movement. Two years ago, the Floida State Office of Campus Volunteers was created to develop and coordinate com- munity service throughout Florida campuses. The University of Miami played an integral role in the state and overall volunteerism movement. Volunteerism is definately iiinll at UM. During the past year, the dedi- cation to change and honest concern that characterizes the 19908 has been evident throughout campus special events such as Volunteer Awareness Week, UM Outreach, United Way Fund Drive, Hurricanes Helping the Home- town and the National Hunger cleanup. Central to all these events has been the Volunteer Service Center. The Center was opened in the Fall of 1989 as a re- sponse to university students who needed an office to guide and coordi- nate their volunteer efforts. Students, concern in past years has also resulted in the formation of organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Earth Alert and RoterAct. But the VSC remains the prominent feature of UMls 1990s identity. Much of the success of the VSC is due to its coordinators. Ali Koshy, 1989 UM graduate, seved as the coordi- nator during the first year and was succeeded by Eva Alverez. During the first year, foundations of the VSC were laid for the future. The VSC took on many functions includ- Volunteer Services Coordinator Eva Alvarez and sopho- more Sayra Chi help ciean up the Camillus Homeless shelter during a UM Outreach program.

Whoto by Dave Bergmam 0 Student Life 46 ing a support service to students and campus organizations, a resource cen- ter with volunteer information and opportunities, and it served as a liason between the students and the South Florida community. The VSC also sponsored special events and even cre- ated its own newsletter, The Philan- thrdpic. By the end of the first year, the VSC had established itself on campus and in the community. This past year, the Volunteer- ism movement strengthened and eX- panded under the leadership ofAlverez, 1990 UM graduate. A new event this year was the Hurricanes Helping the Hometown, a community outreach during Homecoming week. It is through these outreach days that students are introduced to the realities of the South Florida community. Since the Volun- teerism movement is a relatively young one, it has been important to open the eyes of students on campus, to instill awareness and to give an outlet to their concern and desire for progress. UM Outreach ,90 helped to fulfill that goal. UM Outreach Day, September 22, 1990, was sponsored by the VSC as one of the many events of Volunteer Awareness Week. Over 120 students gathered on a beautiful, yet early, Sat- urday morning to make an exodus into the community. The students divided into groups and each set out to com- plete a project. The projects included: painting a YMCA facility, coastal clean- up, painting an elderly woman,s house, visiting a nursing home and serving meals at a homeless shelter. At the end of the day, the groups returned to the University Center patio for a barbecue and to share their excitement and high- lights of their experience. The group that went to the Camillus House home- less shelter returned With positive feed- back. The group, composed of menbers of Circle K International, toured the shelter, spoke to members of the drug therapy group and served the daily meal to over 1000 people. The experi- ence was an eye opening one for the group as they were introduced to the homeless and drug abuse problems existing outside the sheltered univer- sity campus. Alverez was pleased With this years activities of the VSC and contin- ues to strive for more. iiMy goal is to get students involved on a deeper level? explained Alverez. As it is important to introduce students to the community, Volunteerism does not end there. This is a movement, not a fad or a trend, that has a foundation based on dedication, desire and concern to make a change in society. The unlimate goal of Volun- teerism at UM is to get students to volunteer on a routine basis and achieve an understanding of the issues which have caused the problems. In just two years, the University of Miami has emerged as a school that embodies the dedication, desire and concern for the 1990s. UM students, and youth of the world, have the power to carry the rec- ord setting precedents into the 21st century and beyond. 0;...SECRVICE . ,3, 1 Thi1s-isa .rfmaviemem, based 0n, Ededwarwn desire and . :1 concern 'fto; makaa' ' i ' i change in Society.

Photo by Michael Row Student Life 48 F acilitated by S tudent Affairs administrators, faculty, alumni and student leaders, Quest seminars Ojfered the University community an Opportunity to learn about everything from personal growth to organizational development. The fall of 1990 saw the birth of a new student life project at the Univer- sity of Miami. A semester-long series of free Quest seminars were originated in response to a growing demand to learn about student leadership, personal relations and services available in stu- dent life. Quest seemed to follow a natu- ral unfolding of events in the area of student development. The Leadership Certificate Program continued to grow with the implementation of the Ad- vanced Leadership tLCP ID course in the Spring of 1990. Many of these LCP II graduates were returning students, which created a new group of facilita- tors well-capable of presenting pro- grams of interest for their peers. Quest became the answer to the general stu- dent demand for more knowledge, par- ticularly in the area of student leader- ship and provided opportunities for the new student facilitators to present and peform in their areas of expertise. The combination of a student facilitator and a Student Affairs ad- ministrator as a team of presenters provided the audiences with a variety of styles, perspectives and knowledge; facilitators also have the opportunity to network and further develop their own areas. On one hand, the students who facilitated these sessions expressed their enjoyment of being able to give back something they had received in terms of their own training. On the other hand, the students in the audi- ences appreciated having a peer as a presenter since it brought th topic and the discussion to a student level, ac- knowledging and respecting their per- spectives. In this manner, the topics and helpful hints were more relevant and meaningful to the audiences. To address yet another student need, a computer branch of quest semi- nars was created. Student trainers for Macintosh computers facilitated weekly sessions introducing the use of the computer and popular programs such as Microsoft Word, Canvas and Page- maker. The same seminar was given twice weekly at different times in an attempt to accomodate the diverse schedules of our student population. In addition to the educational aspects of Quest, the seminars at- tempted to centralize some efforts within the university,s student life. the seminars were planned in accordance With specific themes and activities scheduled during th semester. As an example, substance abuse recognition and date rape seminars were scheduled during Alcohol Awareness Week, and stress and time management as well as issues related to sexual behaviors were discussed during Wellness Week. Hopefully, Quest seminars will con- tinue to grow in future semesters and become an intrinsical part of the Uni- versity of Miami student life. LEARN . ABOUT F U N -., DAY ' An activity for both the University and the community, Special Olympics F m Day provided an opportunity for students and Special Citizens of the M iami area to interact and celebrate a decade offriendship. If you consider every event and program which takes place on the University of Miamfs campus, you will find that only one satisfied all of the fol- lowing: participation from the greek, commuter and residential sectors of the student body; community involve- ment; no losers and all winners; a dec- ade of success; a learning experience for UM students; and, fun for all par- ticipants. The event is simply called FunDay. y- Founded in 198 1, Special Olym- pics FunDay was the brainchild of sev- eral UM students. It was created as a project for the Mahoney-Pearson Dor- mitory Government, which has since been dissolved. The event was designed to invite physically and mentally handi- capped Dade County residents to cam- pus to participate in a day of fun, non- competitive activities. During the ten years of its existencex FunDay has experienced substantial growth. The event annually brings over 300 special citizens to campus and involves more than 350 UM students as executive committee members, group leaders, volunteers for the individual areas and most importantly, as buddies. The event spans all across campus; from the intra- mural fields to the University Center to the Lane Recreation Center. FunDay has also grown in the student activities arena. In the fall of 1990 FunDay became an official pro- gramming board, thus making it eli- gible for SAFAC funding. As one of the seven programming boards in the Department of Student Activities, FunDay also receives the recognition and autonomy which it merits. In order best understand the concept and goals of FunDay, one should consider a map-out of the day from busses arriving to saying tso long? while keeping in mind the months of plan- ning and promotion of this one-day event. The day begins at 9:30 am. when UM students and busloads of special citizens show up on the intra- mural fields. T-shirts are distributed and buddies are paired up With their friend for the day. While waiting for all to arrive, most groups find a spot on the IM fields for a quick game of duck-duck- goose or some other icebreaker. Brief opening ceremonies include a welcome from the chairperson and a few words from a guest speaker. Past FunDays have heard from the likes of President Foote, Dr. Butler and Bobby Baskin--a mentally handicapped citizen and University employee. Then its off to the first activity. Your group starts at the intra- mural fields where numerous activities take place. A wide variety of things to do will keep you and your buddy busy for thirty five minutes before you have to move on to the next area. Activities have included soccer, volleyball, earth- ball, water balloon toss, horseback rid- ing, potato sack race, the everepopular hoola hoop and the list goes on. The IM field is split into two stations to give all groups a good hour. But time flies when Student Life 50 Activities on the intramural fields at Fun Day included soccer, volley- ball, obstacle course the sponge toss, and more. Buddies Angeia Hetm and Miriam Rodriguez found the hula hoop to their liking. tPhoto by Tracy Mackt Even after the Ailied victory in the Persian Gulf, Shannon John, Venus Ramos, and Marcelo Martinez, along with the rest at the Fun Day participants, honored the US troops with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner during opening ceremoniess.

The University Center is the next stop for your group. It, too, is split into two stations; upstairs and down- stairs. You,11 start downstairs Where you and your buddy participate in fuse- ball, ping pong and the most popular item at this stop--bowling. Youire not bowling for dollars or ESPN; just a friendly game With your buddy. Soon enough, upstairs you go to participate in arts ni crafts, singing With the music therapy club, watching juggling and cartoons. All of these activities are going on in the meeting rooms and in the Flamingo Ballroom. It,s approaching 1 pm. now and you and your buddy are getting a bit hun- gry. Let,s eat! Lunch is on the University Center Plaza, formerly called the patio. Waiting for you is a barbecue donated generously by Marriott. Hot dogs and hamburgers are on the menu and What- ever else has been donated by local bakeries and supermarkets. Aside from the long line, lunch is very satisfying and a good break from the action. The Sunsations are dancing to tunes pro- vided by Hot 105 and many of the spe- cial citizens and their buddies are also dancing. Unfortunately, its time to go and its difficult to tear your buddy away from the fun. The last area for you to Visit With your group is the Lane Recreation Center. Here you see a karate or gym- nastics demonstration for ten minutes and then you and your buddy head for the basketball court. Other buddies are going into the activities room for aerobics and some are playing volley- ball. When the Whistle blows signify- ing its time to move on, you realize that is 3 p.m. and both you and your buddy are worn out. Fortunately, next stop is the intramural fields for closing cere- monies. Closing ceremonies has changed over the years, each year trying to say so long in the best way possible. The committee gets everyone into a huge circle to do the wave and hokie pokie and a couple other things. But, the most successful closing ceremony is the one Where you thank your buddy for a great day and he or she thanks you back. A sincere handshake or a hug outdoes the hokie pokie any day. Student Life 52 FUN DAY Once all are accounted for, the bus is boarded and everyone goes home. Your tired body is thankful its over but your heart wishes the busses will pull up again tomorrow morning. Now you know what FunDay is all about. FunDay 1991 proceeded much like the above narrative. The theme for the day was tCelebrating a Decade of Friendship? The FunDay Executive Committee, chaired by Beth Vaina, was very happy with the entire event. Even after a February 17 postponement, the March 3 event was a success. Major sponsors for the day were Marriott, College Bound Testing Services, sev- eral fraternities, the Panhellenic coun- cil, several residential colleges and other on-campus sources. But the most important thing about FunDay was the participants. Members from many fraternities and sororities, residential colleges, apart- ments, student groups and clubs, and commuters showed up bright and early for the event.

The School of Communication is one of the fastest growing schools at the University of Miami. Its unique features include interactive classes, requirement of a double major and opportunities for hands-on experi- ence both on and broadcast j ournal- ism. They learn how to shoot Video, write to it, edit, direct, floor- manage...and the list goes on and on. And the cable shows offer end- less opportunities for students to apply all the skills they have learned and create fin- ished products that air to student Viewers and the Coral Gables com- munity. ttFocus 51,1 off campus. T h i r t y years ago, UM cable programs were produced and aired from WTVJ in downtown Miami. There was 110 School of Communication and there was no broadcasting depart- ment. Today, students have the advantage of a campus- based cable studio, a fully-equipped editing room and Video cameras available to students for field production. Class- room curriculum tand extracurricular activitiesi include daily use of such facilities. The studio productions are completely student-run, under the advisement ofprofessors Susan Roumelis, Carolyn Cefalo, Mitchell Shapiro and Christine Davidson. Students play a number of different roles, which allow them to gain eX- perience across the broad spectrum of broadcasting and The Eye to Eye staff rotated responsibilities for each show giving students experience with all aspects of a broadcast production. Maggie Rodriguez anchors the newscast for Eye to Eye while Eileen Faxas views the camera angle. tPhoto by Michael Royi an issue-oriented program started last year, grew from the seeds of students; and ad- visorsi ideas to a professional-looking piece. Students had various responsibilities for each show: some would field- produce packages; some would have to make arrangements for guest appearances; and others made up the in-house staff and taped the completed shows on Friday afternoons. Some of the topics included eating disorders, boating safety, con- dom vending machines, network ratings and the Gifford Ar- boretum controversy. This year the cable studio welcomed new faces and two new programs. One was a bieweekly news show called tEye to Eye? which aired on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4pm. Professor Christine Davidson, with the help Ofcommu- nication students, launched the newscast just a few weeks Academics 61 into the semester. The students rou tated the responsibilities of reporter, anchor and producer; all students con- tributed stories and were a part of the field and in-house production staff. News packages and stories focused on campus events and community hap- penings. The devotion and energy of the news staff made ttEye to Eyeh into a polished program...m0ve over Ted Koppel and Tom Brokaw! The second new show featured arts and entertainment updates and highlights; it was called ttLiving Color? The program included packages and reports on campus and community activities. As one of the nationts cul- ture capitals, Miami offers the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the Goombay Festival, the Hispanic Heritage Cele- bration and Calle Ocho, among other cultural events. On-campus activities included concerts, international days and the Beaux Arts Festival. ttLiving Colortt covered these stories and more throughout the year. The Cable 51 program and production staff devoted a lot of time and enthusiasm to make all three shows quality television journalism and en- tertainment.

Now treatable with insu- lin injections, diet control and pa- tient education, those inflicted with the disease patiently wait for a cure. Most major research for a cure began in the 1970s and now at the end of the century, there is a light at the end of the tunnel to- wards a cure. In harmony with the effort to find a cure, the University of Miami is in the process of creating an unprecedented research facil- ity on its medical campus.

EITHER WAY, ALL PUBLIC INDOOR AREAS ON CAMPUS FOUND... BY ROBERT ABOWITZ In the Fall of 1990, the Univer- sity of Miami installed a policy which would affect at least 10th of the student body - the smokers. Smoking is prohib- ited in all indoor public areas of cam- pus. Reactions to the policy vary from avid support to extreme opposition to the everepresent indifferent popula- tion. Proponents. A task force was put together of various administrators to review the existing smoking policy of the University and to make .... dations to the Offices of the President and the Provost. Chaired by Vi :e P1 - vest Dr. Paul Sugrue, the committee considered What other campuses were doing and how a new policy would impact the campus. A member of this committee and strong proponent of the restri cted smoking policy was Norm Parsons, Director of Hm I .Qnu L' m Center. tAll research continues to show that smoking both actively and passively kills? said Par- sons. Passive killing refers to those Who do not smoke but are exposed to the smoke of people who do. But does the administration have the right to pro- hibit smoking in public areas? Parsons replied, tThe Univer- sity :s an educational institution .- a place oflearning. Aside from academics, wellness education is a priority for the Uni- versity. We,re sending a strong message to students and the impact it has? To put things in perspective Norman Parsons re- marked, ttAt this period of war in the Persian Gulf, many are concerned for the hundreds of thousands of lives at stake, but we continually neglect the 400,000 people per year Who die from smoking? Opponents. Those Who oppose the new policy also llllll--I :- have a strong case. Junior Tony Gra- ziano is confident in his judgment that the policy is unfair and the University stepped out of line. There are two basic arguments to the opposition. First, the University has taken the easy way out; they have done this be- cause this is What universities are sup- posed to do. ttIt is an easy and free solution to one of the lesser health prob- lemsf said Graziano. ttThey should fo- cus on the inadequate health facilities on campus and the poor quality of din- ing services. Diet is the most essentiai component ofwellnessfi adds Graziano. The second argument of the opposi- tion is the idea of free choice and per- sonal rights. Some students feel thai the University should spend their time and money on wellness education and leave the decision tc the ind ividual. ttThei'e is no concern for students individuai rights, said Graziano. ttI donit want anyone to protect me from myself; I should decide if I want to smoke or not? Other students are scared of the agenda which the policy depicts. Will alcohol be removed from campus next? Will smoking be prohibited in all indoor areas? Students question, ttWhere Will they draw the line? Regardless of Who wins the argument, the policy is hard to enforce. Students still smoke in residential college lobbies and in the Rathskeller. Nothing has been done ti enforce the policy. According to Dr. William Butler, Vice President for Student Affairs, ttWe are not near ready tt discuss enforcement procedures. We have to consider the implications enforcement will have? For now, the ban against smoking Will remain one o: the most controversial issues of our time, and a resolution 11 the conflict will be difficult to find.

They were the long- est days. Time moved in slow motion. The world held its breath and waited...and waited. The news reports and itspecial coverage, never ended. Hopes were dashed almost as quickly as they appeared, only to be followed by new rumors of a peaceful exit from the Middle East. Iraq and the United States seemedreadyforwarbecause neither was willing to suffer the tworseii fate: the humili- ation that is implied when one side backs down or sub- mits to the demands of the other. The countdown to war ticked away. America at war... Three days after the United States made its ini- tial attack on Iraq, it was reported that the U.S. and allied forces pounded Iraq and Kuwait in an airborne barrage that was more than triple the size of history,s previous biggest bombing raid-the U.S. attack on North Vietnam in 1972. The greatly im- proved accuracy of modern weapons means that a target that required 12,000 bombs in World War II to guarantee destruction, requires only a single bomb today. The tide turned when Iraqi missiles struck Tel AViV two days in a row. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein continued his efforts to divide the fragile U.S.-led coalition trying to drive Iraq Headlines 146 from Kuwait. 2We must be realis- tic. There will be losses. There will be obstacles along the way. And war is never cheap or easy? Bush said in a televised statement on the second day of Operation Desert Storm. Bush said that reports of early American and allied successes concerned him because, 2I dont want to see us get overly euphoric about all of this? Within the first week, the United States sent anti-missile units to Israel to fend off any attacks by Iraq. At that time, Israel was en- couraged to delay their in- volvement in the war. The U.S. forces did take action, though, by crowding into the Persian Gulf and storming nine oil platforms used by Iraqi troops to fire at air- craft; the U.S. took 12 pris- oners of war in the course of this attack. On J anuary 21, mil- lions of Americans watched the Cable News Network air the tlsceneil of American sol- diers being paraded in public and forced to mouth enemy propaganda in humiliating ticonfessions? Not since Vietnam has America been confronted with prisoners of war. Seven allied airmen were capturedethree of them Americans. The pattern of dis- appointment continued. An Iraqi Scud mis- sile, slipping through newly installed Patriot defenses, slammed into a densely popu- lated Tel AViV neighborhood. Three people died and nearly 100 were injured. The at- tack increased the pressure on Israel to retaliate but they managed restraint. The U. S. condemned Iraq for such a brutal act against innocent Victims. And while uncease ing air attacks on Iraq and Kuwait continued, Iraq dis- played two more captured U.S. servicemen and accused allied bombs of hitting sacred Moselm sites. J ust a few days later, Iraq stepped up its aggres- sive approach with an attack and seizure of Khafjiea deserted oil boom town 11 miles south of the Kuwait border. The battle for Khafji was the last in a 24-hour series of Iraqi attacks inside the Saudi border. Saudi-led troops tried to dislodge Iraqi forces with armored battal- ions and attack planes. The fights claimed the lives of a dozen U.S. Marines, a re- ported six Saudi soldiers and wounded two Americans. Two U.S. Army soldiers were reported missing. The first series of casualties had ar- rived. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said allied bombardments had signifi- cantly reduced the capabil- ity of the Iraqi military. He said the next phase of the war would likely combine air power with both ground and amphibious combat. The execution of a land attack to drive Iraq from Kuwait seemed imminent. However, allied commanders sought more time to prepare for the ttdecisivei, next step in the Gulf War. Weapons of Wizardry... Operation Desert Storm showed the promise and limitations of the high- tech arsenal belonging to the U.S. Some military officials called it a remote-control war, where surgical strikes can wipe out targets and spare civilians. Planners and poli- cymakers grappled with the issue of Whether to build more sophisticated airplanes and tanks or build better un- manned weapons. Science sought to leave the fighting to machines.

Whether they were for or against the war-or still trying to figure out where they stood-the war in the Middle East made a profound psychological impression. They watched brothers and sisters and best Friends ship out to Operation Desert Storm. There was concern over the possibility of a draft. 11War0 was no longer on the pages of his- tory books but a very real part of their own personal histories. As of mid-February, young adults opinions about the war matched those of the country as a whole: a maj or- ity support U.S. actions. Critics say, however, that heavy casualties in the event of a ground war would cer- tainly change their minds. But not all young Americans are gung-ho about US. and allied involvement. They were raised with the fear that any war could lead to total nuclear destruction. Whatever their opinions may be about this war, many young adults vowed not to repeat what happened in Vietnam. This time peace signs, yellow ribbons and the American flag came together as one symbol of support for US. troops in the Middle East. r I After nine days of aerial attacks, Iraq struck back vengefully by dumping millions of barrels of crude oil into the Persian Gulf.

But how often can the world hold up three leaders who have stood apart from others- who have made a difference in the international arena. Nelson Mandela...Helmut Kohl...B0ris Yeltsin...They are the men who have made their mark in history. Nelson Mandela became a legend while lan- guishing in South African jails for 27 years, in contact with only his family, his guards and several close friends. Before his imprison- ment in 1962, Mandela gained a wide following through his anti-apartheid activism. But it was while he was in prison and away from the public that Mandela became a symbol of an entire people,s struggle against apartheid. In one year, Mandelals statesmanship was a catalyst for extraordi- llllaki z r? nary changes in South Af- rica. Hope dawns for the future as the country moves away from its horrific and eternal racial conflict to a glimpse of racial reconcili- ation. Mandela initiated a negotiation process in 1986 when he received a visit from South Africais J ustice Minis- ter. Secret talks took place for three years between Mandela and government ministers on the direction of the countryls future. Hard- liner African National Con- gress members disapproved of such talks, but Mandela tried to prepare his militant organization for a potential negotiated settlement. Some of Mandela,s admirers, though, were dis- appointed in his lack of ag- gression and authority. J ust a few days after his release, Mandela was ignored in Soweto when he called on students to end their boycott and return to school. He was again dis- missed several weeks later in Durban when he pleaded with rival black factions to end the senseless killing and fighting. Even Mandelais Visit to the United States, and more specifically to Miami, caused conflict among various ethnic groups. There seemed to be over- whelming support for his release from prison, but not everyone backed Mandelals ideas or methods. The year of Mandela,s long-awaited free- dom marked the worst racial Violence in South Africa,s history. Although the coun- try may not rid itself of such Violence soon, without Man- dela peace could never be a reality. He will continue to inspire dreams of a free South Africa. Dreams, like revolu- tions, sometimes have the power to bring together strongly disparate forces. In November 1989, when the Berlin Wall began to crumble, Helmut Kohl seized the moment and began to make the dream of a unified ng History Germany a reality. seemed to know that tHhe communist regime in East Berlin was coming to an end. The reunification ofGermany and the mending 0f the Eu- ropean Community were within reach. Kohl became known as the llunification Chancellor? Sweeping changes began, but nothing seemed fast enough for East Europe- ans. They demonstrated their rejection of half meas- ures by storming into West Germany: 340,000 in 1989 and more than 300,000 in 1990. Recently, Kohl won a new four-year mandate as Chancellor of the united Germany and many of his efforts have proved trium- phant. By bringing Western Europe to the aid of the East, Kohl continues to help the European Community mend its divisions. As the BC. was coming together, the Soviet Union was quickly being torn apart by the republicsi thrust Headlines 148 for independence. And Boris Yeltsin was leading this movement. Yeltsinls people power is appealing and at times intoxicating. He was elected chairman of the Rus- sian parliament last May and oversees what is by far the largest, wealthiest and most populous 0f the Soviet Unionls 15 republics. Since Yeltsinls rise to power, Mikhail Gorbachev could not make a decision without looking over his shoulder. Gorbachev was once the prime force behind perestroika; but found him- self outmaneuvered and put on the defensive. In June 1990, Russia issued its dec- laration of sovereignty. The prospect of independence became contagious as other republics followed suit. Ac- cording to Yeltsin, all of the Soviet republics had to con- tend with one common en- emy: the centralized govern- ment controlled by the Krem- lin. Whatever the issue, the countryls agenda was being set by Yeltsin and the Russians. A legal war raged and resembled a tug- of-war: Russian parliamen- tarians passsed certain measures...G0rbachevwould strike them down; the Rus- sians would then countermand...G0rbacheV would ignore their actions. As Gorbachevls popularity waned, Yeltsin and Russia pushed faster and forward to new reforms. After being freed by the South African govern- ment in February, Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader, tours 14 nations in Europe, North America and Africa urging foreign governments to continue sanctions against South Africa.

The leaders also embraced a preliminary deal to cut long-range nuclear arms. Photo by the Associated Pressl Headlines 149 BY CHRISTINE THOMPSON As war rumbled in the Middle East and the US. economy sank into recession, preservation of the planets air, land and water was in danger of losing its place among the most urgent is- sues of today. The populist fervor for saving the enVi- ronment did not generate enough effective government action at the national or inter- national level. The Ameri- can people and their leaders seemed overwhelmed by global problems and they often saw a conflict between a healthy environment and a healthy economy. As a re- sult, the ecology movement fell into a deep rut, where everybody claimed to be an environmentalist but few actually knew what to do about the growing problems. Its not that Earth Day 1990 was forgotten. In fact, more and more people recycled household waste products, carried reusable shopping bags to stores and even planted trees in their backyards. And after more than ten years of debate, Congress finally toughened the Clean Air Act this past fall. But these encouraging steps hardly made a dent in ilsolvingf, managing 0r elimi- nating the most ominous threats to the environment, such as global warming, water pollution and defores- tation. Around the world, the expectations of E arth Day were squashed by political debates and procrastination. Headlines 150 Environmental lob- bying began to be counter- productive and ecological problems did not go into remission because congres- sional attention was focused elsewhere. As time contin- ued to pass without action, options disappeared and the costs and consequences to present and future genera- tions became cancer-likee growing and spreading. Throughout the world, environmentalists look to America to provide leadership, but instead of making the expected great strides to protection and preservation, the US. stumbled. Some prominent environmentalists pointed out that Americans are all for environmental protection, so long as it does not disrupt tlbusiness as usual?

According to critics, the lldistractionST were justified Kand inevitablel, but the problem is too menacing to simply be pushed aside. In December, Presi- dent Bush declared, 9We,1 e on the road to Victory? Fed- eral surveys found a decrease in emergency-room admis- sions and deaths from drug overdoses and a drop in xcasual users, of cocaine and marijuana. The surveys also pointed to international po- lice pressure on suppliers as the main reason for skyrock- eting cocaine prices. Lobbyists and anti- drug activists questioned how much of the optimistic talk emanating from Wash- ington was valid and how much was simply hype from Congress and the Bush Administration. The federal government must justify the expenditure of billions of dollars at a time of rising taxes, budget crunches and a nationwide recession. What many people feared most was that Wash- ington would declare Victory and walk away from an un- finished battleeone that it is not winning. Some critics charged that such govern- ment action is conceivable because drug abuse, Which continues to escalate in poor ghetto areas, declined within the middle class. They also charged that Washington would hold up this kind of Tlsuccess storyll and disguise what was really going on. Some experts believe the ultimate solution to the drug epidemic is to dry up demand. But how? From major cities to small towns, anti-drug advertisements have inundated communities in hopes that information warning against the dangers of drug use would perhaps make an impression. Such warnings seemed to have only skimmed the surface. xThe war on drugs is really a battle for hearts and minds, and not merely an issue for police and courts and prisons? ' David H.

Frustrated and frazzled Eastern passengers hurried to swap their tick- ets; shocked employees scanned the job listings in the classified section; and Eastern officials held little hope that the 62-year-old carrier would ever return to the sky. Eastern simply ran out of cash. It was blasted by airline deregulation, failing labor-management relations and a public that no longer trusted the carrier. The airline was los- ing $2.5 million a day, and in the past decade, it had lost more than $2.5 billion. Fur- thermore, Eastern owed $3 billion to its creditors.

But this was not enough. The changes also came and are still to comel to South Florida,s already tattered economy. Not only did Eastern employees begin job hunting, but so did those employees of supply compa- nies that worked with East- ern. Analysts expect the tremendous cutbacks to ripple through the economy, potentially making great waves. And, as if its own problems werenlt enough, outside circumstances pro- vided the final blow. The weakened US. economy and increased jet fuel prices trig- gered by the Persian Gulf . war made revival of Eastern close to impossible. Some analysts said the Eastern shutdown would not decrease competition among other carriers, since Eastern only held three per- cent of the market. With an opposing Viewpoint, Trustee Shugrue said Eastern fos- tered competition and with- out them, higher fares would soon follow. Eastern, though, is no longer in the race.

The Lakers would always be fastbreaking. Wayne Gretzky would lead the NHL in anything he wanted to. John McEnroe would always make tennis even more interesting to watch. And the Oakland As would continue their base- ball dynasty. Well, something had to give. The 87th World Se- ries pitted the As against the Cinderella Reds. Oakland had won 103 games in the regular season and had breezed into their third straight Fall Classic by sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series. The Reds had won only 9 1 regular season games and had struggled to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in the playoffs. This was to be the first time a team with so few Victories had ever swept a World Series. The first game of the Series was a surprise. The offensive oriented A,s were shut out by an emotioned powered Red-machine. But, the second game was one of the most exciting games in World Series his- Headlines 154 tory. The Afs finally scored in the first inning of Game 2. But the Reds came right back to lead 2-1 after one. The A,s regained the lead behind a J ose Canseco homer and led 4-1.

' The turning point of the game came in the eighth when Jose Canseco mis- played a Billy Hatcher fly to give the Reds a lead off man at third. Glenn Braggs knocked Hatcher in to send the game to extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th, Billy Bates scored on a Chris Sabo single to win the game.

The Giants were in, 49ers out. The AFC Champion- ship game seemed like a for- mality. The Los Angeles Raiders were in Buffalo, they just forgot to play. The Bills, behind QB Jim Kelly, used their pat- ented no huddle offense for the entire first half and scored on three of their first four possessions. The Bills were just as surprised as everyone else, though, be- cause the raiders had allowed the second fewest yards in the AFC during the regular season. But this was not the regular season. Not even Bo knew what was happening. Without superstar J acksonls services, the Raiders fell to the Bills 51-3. And so it was New York City vs. New York State in Tampa for Super Bowl XXV. On paper, the two teams seemed to be polar opposites. The Bills ran and passed their way to the Su- per Bowl--with no huddle. The Giants used power and defense, and everyone knows that defense wins champion- ships. So, naturally, the Bills were the favorite. CPD This day, though, belonged to the Giants meat- grinder attack. New York drives of 11 and 10 plays in the first half and a pair of 14- play possessions in the sec- ond, one of which lasted 9:29, sapped the strength of the Buffalo defense. The Bills pulled themselves together near the two minute warning and forced the Giants to punt from the Buffalo 48. The Bills took over on their own 10 with 2:16 left and, with the no huddle offense, marched to the NY 30 yard line with :08 remaining. The Bills, down by one, sent kicker Scott Nor- wood out to try to win the game, a la Matt Bahr, with a 47 yard field goal. Norwood,s longest in 1990 was 48 yards, but this one wasnt even close. Final score: Giants 20, Bills 19. After what some called the greatest Super Bowl ever, the Bills J im Kelly said, ttlf you want to write a Super Bowl script, this is probably what you have to write. It came down to the last kick? Super Bowl XXV, the closest title game in history, was decided by a missed field goal on the final play of the game. The New York Giants escaped with a 20-19 win over the Buffalo Bills after kicker Scott Norwood missed a 47-yarder as time ran out.

Gradu- ation rates for athletes have improved dramatically since 1983. Under Jankovich, Hurricane athletics also expanded financially. He negotiated several television con- tracts-some of them network TV deals. He also carefully Viewed the develop- ment of the Hurricane Club, a financial foundation that provided $3 million in gifts for the UM athletic department for 1989-90. Perhaps J ankovich will best be remembered for his countless hours of negotiations last fall regarding confer- ence affiliation, culminated by Miamits decision to become the 10th member of the Big East Conference. J ankovich will have a great challenge ahead of him in New Eng- land, but if he does anything close to the same job he did When he first stepped through the doors of the Hecht Athletic Center on June 13, 1983, he,s bound to succeed.

BY KEVIN BROCKWAY They may not have successfully defended their national championship, but the University of Miami football team ended the 1990 season kicking and screaming. Meanwhile, a team expected to ffshock the nationff received a cruel dose of realistic voltage. Miami gave the University of Texas Longhorns a Texas-style whip- ping 46-3 before 73,521 fans at the Mobil Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas on New Years Day. Miami ended the sea- son with six straight Victories and the $163 ranking in both the AP and UPI polls. ffI think we accomplished a lot this season on and off the fieldf UM offensive lineman Mike Sullivan said. ffWe may not get another ring, but right now we all feel like champions?7 ffWe were on a mission todayf, UM head football coach Dennis Erickson added. ffWe wanted to earn their fTexasU respect and regain the respect of everyone? The tone of the game was set on the opening drive. Two dead-ball per- sonal fouls backed UM up thirty yards and gave Miami a first-and-40 from their own 19-yard line. Three pass completions later, Miami earned enough yardage for the first down and then some. The drive ended with a 28-yard field goal by placekicker Carlos Huerta and gave Miami an early 3-0 lead. ffI think our first drive when we were first-and-forty and got a field goal showed that we were on a roll, nobodj could stop us?

However, a loss to arch-rival Notre Dame ruined Miamiis chance of being the first team since Alabama 0978-791 to win con- secutive national championships. Miami finished the season with an impressive siX-game winning streak in whichthey outscored their opponents 241-60. A 46-3 thrashing of Texas in the Mobil Cotton Bowl boosted Miami to a i493 ranking in both the AP and UPI polls. The season would take its toll on Dennis Erickson. The second-year coach shed 15 pounds and had fever blisters during the 1990 campaign. He received voluminous hate mail after each of the teams, losses. However, Erickson signed a contract extension that would make him coach through the 1995 season. But the 1990 season will proba- bly most be remembered for the out- standing accomplishments of its sen- iors. Defensive lineman Russell Mary- land was awarded the Outland Trophy, the award given to the best defensive lineman in college football. Quarter- back Craig Erickson won the Unitas Award, the award given to the best senior quarterback in the nation. Of- fensive lineman Mike Sullivan made Whots Who Among Students in Ameri- can Colleges and Universities, and all 17 seniors were expected to graduate on time.

BY KEVIN BROCKWAY It,s your basic Horatio Alger story. A young boy grows up in Nutley, NJ. with dreams ofbecoming a maj or league baseball player. He recalls the Brooklyn Bums he idolized- names like Robin- son, Reese, Snider, Campenella and N ewcomb. Ron Fraser never did quite make it to the pitchers mound at Eb- bits Field, or any other major league pitching mound for that matter, but he did turn his attention to coaching, and the job he has done has been simply masterful. After 29-years of coaching at the University of Miami, he reached the pinnacle of amateur coaching by being appointed to coach the 1992 United States Olympic team in Barcelona, Spain. It will be the first year that baseball is considered an official medal sport. Fraser is no stranger to inter- national coaching. In 1960 he debuted as an international coach by leading the N etherlands to the European Base- ball Championships. In 1987, Fraser guided the USA team to a silver medal finish in the Pan American Games. After the Pan-American games, the United States amateur Baseball Committee approached Fraser, asking him how to improve US baseball in the international arena. On October 22, 1990, Fraser was officially appointed coach. Fraser could have probably secured his job even sooner had it not been for his adamancy for him to be able to pick assistants Brad Kelly and J erry Weinstein, who both assisted Fraser at the Pan-American games. The USABC wanted two other head coaches from strong college programs to assist Fraser. Eventually, Fraser got his wish, and Kelly and Weinstein, along with Long Beach State Coach Dave Snow, will be assisting him. Olympic baseball has been the dream of Fraseris since 1965, when he was selected a member of The Commit- tee to Bring Baseball to the Olympics. He credits chairman Dick Case for hard work that helped land Baseball in the Olym- pics. tFor years we worked so hardf Fraser said. 21 remem- ber thinking this will never happenf But the international teams got it together? In the 1984 games at Los Angeles, the dream to bring baseball to the Olym- pics became reality. Baseball was intro- duced as an exhibition sport. Now Fraser must assemble a group of 25 of the best ama- teur baseball players in the country and Coach Fraser's achieve- ments extend beyond the playing field. Fraser is credited with creating the Miami Maniac, the mascot for UM baseball. tPhoto by Rhona Wisei strive for a gold medal. But Fraser is no stranger to building a baseball team, or baseball program for that matter. J ust take a look at the job he did at the University of Miami. Fraser won his first game as UM head coach against Army on March 2 1, 1963. He recalls his opening season, ttMy office was small with a concrete block interior. And the desk was loaded with termites. I found a pint-bottle of blueberry brandy in one of the draws, Sports 1 84 left over from the previous coach. I guess that tthe brandyi kinda told me the job I was getting into? And yet Fraser managed to deal with poorly-sodded fields and low over- head by producing winning baseball teams. ttI remember what former AD Jack Harding said to me: Do the best 0b you can, but don,t spend any money? Fraser said. Fraser didnt have to spend noney, he raised it.

Fraser said. ttAnd it creates a good image for the University. Kids get to Visit the campus? Perhaps the greatest of Fraseris innovations was the Miami Maniac, the team mascot. ttWe were playing a road game in South Carolina and I saw this guy in a chicken outfit. I said to myself God this guys funnyf Fraser said. The guy's name was John Routh, a senior at the University ofSouth Carolina. Fraser approached him and asked him to come to their series against Florida State, full expenses paid, to see how the fans would react to a mascot. Fraser had already come up with an outfit for the mascot, he had been toying With the idea but couldnt find a talented enough person to don the costume. The Miami Maniac was born that weekend. The fans loved him. Routh held the part time position as the Maniac until 1984 when he was hired under salary at UM for per- forming the Maniac and the other Mascot role at UM, Se- bastian the Ibis. Fraser's accomplish- ments on the field, two national cham- pionshipst1982, 1985i, 18-straight post- season births and over 1200 Wins dur- ing his career speaks for itself. But more importantly, he,s turned Hurricane baseball into an event in South Florida. Families and stu- dents are heading to Mark Light in greater numbers than ever before. And now, Fraser hopes to cul- minate his career With a gold medal. A gold medal. N 0t bad for a kid from Nutley with an average fastball.

However, the changes led the program to their worst record since the programs re- inception, 9 wins and 19 losses. UM men,s basketball coach Le- onard Hamilton was hired in April of 1990 to replace Bill Foster. Hamilton, who previously coached at Oklahoma State and Austin Peay, wanted aggres- siveness and action from his 11 return- ing lettermen. No new recruits were signed because of the transition of coaches. Miami gave everybody a rea- son to celebrate early, defeating the Brazilian National Team t120-581 and the Florida Stars t128-1 lOi in two exhi- bition games. In the second exhibition game, starting guard J ake Morton collided while going for a rebound and fractured his kneecap. He tried to return for the game against Dartmouth and decided after the game to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery. He missed the remainder of the season. Injuries plagued the Hurri- canes throughout the season. Sopho- more forward Doug Elliot also under- went knee surgery to remove torn car- tilage. In a desperate effort to help the team, football wide-receiver Lamar Thomas joined the team as a walk-on.

That makes the team stronger? In Savagets absence, center Vicki Plowden stepped up as the lead- ing scorer and rebounder. The 6-foot- one-inch sophomore averaged 16.1 points While hauling down 9. 5 rebounds. Her quickness and low-post play sparked the Lady Hurricanes. J eannie Hebert returned to handle the point guard responsibili- ties. Hebert dished out 6.7 assists per- game and also proved dangerous from the perimeter, averaging 16.0 points.

Sports 193 BASKETBALL Miami started the season 4-6, With two losses against nationally ranked teams, Purdue and Rutgers. However, Miami surged in conference play and finished the season Winning 13 of their last 17 games. With the loss of Savage, adjust- ments had to be made, and the team had to change their philosophy. tiBecause Frances was a drastic loss, we kind of lost focus? said team- mate Plowden. ttBut once we got our- selves together, we tried to play to our ability. If we hadntt lost Frances in the middle of our season like that, I believe we wouldnt have lost as many games as we did? Another new strategy for the women this year was the intense physi- cal training. Coach Labati implemented a new regimen of running and weight lifting to prepare her girls for the cru- cial fourth quarter stretches Which of- ten decide a game. The Lady Canes proved to them- After taking her team to the NIT in 1990, third year coach Ferne Labati emphasized physical selves in the final stretch of the season just how strong a team they were.

Miami played 13 home matches this season, including opponents from Florida International University, the University of South Florida, the Uni- versity of Florida, Florida State Uni- versity, and Georgia. The team also played nine road matches including a six day four match tour in the state of California. The squad battled California, Fresno State, the University of California at Irvine and the defending NCAA champion Stanford Cardinals. In the middle of a sub-par sea- son, the men gave their confidence a boost when they shut out Wake Forest 6-0 at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. UM lost only one set all after- noon en route to their Victory. The Wake Forest match lifted the Canes above the .500 mark to a 6-5 record. Other matches included West Virginia, Ohio State and Tennessee, who defeated Miami in the second round of the N CAA tournament last season. With five freshmen and new head coach Kim Sands, the UM women,s team had to overcome youth and inex- perience to have a successful season. ttYoung tennis players gener- ally mature early. I try to think posi- tively about the situation? Sands said. However, the Canes faces were not all new.

These three players along with freshmen Michelle Fry, Melissa Maz- zotta, Allison Schlonsky, Rachel Viollet and Helen Worboys, looked to improve upon the Canes 1989-90 13-10 record.

BY TERRY CERNUTO Team unity, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic were characteristics Which combined to produce positive results on the greens for the University ofMiamYs 1990-91 woments golfsquad. Lela Cannon, in her eighth season as the teams head coach, util- ized last seasons learning experience, along With her love of the youth and a certain amount of patience, to motivate her quickly maturing group of golfers. Cannonts guidance helped the Hurri- canes achieve a high level of perform- ance during the fall campaign, in Which the Lady tCanes finished the season ranked seventh nationally. In addi- tion, the team recorded a second place finish at the Pat Bradley Invitational in November at Key Biscayne. While golf in itself may not always appear to be a team sport, this group proved otherwise by continually supporting one another. Mary Dunne, a sophomore from Lauderdale by the Sea, completed the teams best individual performance When she stroked four rounds in the 70s to gain second place at the Lady Seminole Invitational hosted by Flor- ida State University. Shannon Hamel, a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is the lone junior golfer 0n the squad. Hamel had an 8 handicap and tied for third place at the Pat Bradley Invitational. Nadine Kronske, a transfer from the U. of South Alabama, had her best performance, a fourth place tie, at the Lamar Lady Cardinal Invitational. The remaining golfers are all sophomores except Michelle Kirshner, a freshman hailing from Spring, Texas. The Spring included competi- tion at the Lady Gator Invitational and the RyderTState Championships at Doral Country Club in Miami. The attitude and zeal reflected by Cannon and her team is aiding the further building of a program dedicated to fine academic scores as well as fine scores on the golf course. ttYouth and Exuberance,, were the primary assets for the 1990-91 Ments Golf team conveyed by UM ments head coach Chuck Winship.

Winshipts team included five freshmen in the top seven positions. He recognized the need to concentrate mainly on course management tech- niques rather than swing mechanics to foster maturity and success. The team hopes sophomore Stephen Pochis and freshman Guy Hill can lead them in future years. Pochis, a talented player out of Crystal Lake, Fla., capitalizes on his ball-striking ability. Hill, out of Lakeland, Fla., compliments the play of Pochis With scoring capability and consistency. The spring season included stops at the Gator Invitational and the Taylor Mademoral Park Invitational, the premier collegiate men,s golfing event. Winshipts team, like Cannonts squad, continues to prove exemplary as both athletes and scholars. They hope to maintain their motivation for a bright future. Sports 2 1 3 EATON SIMPLY THE BEST, AGAIN In just six short years, Sports F est has become the largest and most competitive event at UM, and Eaton Residential College has become a two-time champion. BY MARN I ZABARSKY The first Sports Fest in 1986 was dominated by Hecht Residential College. In fact, the first four Sports Fest competitions were won by Hecht, which, by coincidence, was the largest residential college involved. Sports Fest is a campus wide competition, placing the five residen- tial colleges against one another in a variety of eventseeverything from football to pictionary and softball to chinese checkers. Something for every- one. In 1991, over 2000 students participated in the games, a record number and a mark untouched by any other event on campus. Sports Fest, which is organized and run by the folks over at Campus Sports and Recreation, has become as much a traditional ex- travaganza as Homecoming and has a larger percentage of students partici- pating. In 1990, most people were be- coming tired of the usual outcome of Sports Fest, with the exception of Hecht, that is. Eaton, the smallest residential college on campus, figured out the complex computer scoring system used by CSR and re- alized that as long as each team participates in every sport, the points will come. With the ttparticipa- tion is the key, attitude, David conquered and for the first time, Goliath walked away empty handed. In 1991, Eaton proved that history does repeat itself when they walked away with their second Sports Fest crown.

HRC Resident Assistant and manager of The Pent- house Playeris J 0y Rowland said. Last years accusation that Eaton cheated in their Victory fades into this years claims of an extremely poor scoring system. After all of the points are distributed to the individual teams and then totaled for their respec- tive college, the magic computer at CSR multiplies each total by a percentage according to the number of total resi- dents in a particular college. In Eng- lish, Eaton gets 100070 of their points and Hecht and Stanford get about 5070 since they double the size of Eaton. Opponents of the scoring sys- tem, everyone outside Eaton, claim their college should not be penalized by the number of residents not participating, but should be rewarded by the amount of students Who do play. ttStanford and Hecht were The object of the Obstacle Course is to get as dizzy as possible and still try to run through tires. 2 Stupid 2 Lose's Drew Campbell attempts to stay balanced for screwed over be- cause the factor system favors Ea- ton because its a small college? said R.J.

For the University of Miami, spirit means get- ting their teams to perform to the best of their ability and enticing the fans to root for the home team. The Hurricanes have developed a rich tradition in the athletic commu- nity. Behind each championship foot- ball team, each Winning baseball team, and each exciting basket- ball team is a con- stant force of en- thusiastic people to give an extra push. The Sunsations are UM's number one dance troop. Freshman Joanna Mbramos performs for the Miami Arena crowd at a basket- ball game. Photo by Dave Bergmam The University of Miami is blessed with two mascots to excite the crowds. At each football game, the Sebastian the Ibis comes out to lead the cheers. Folklore has it that the Ibis is the last sign of Wildlife to take shelter, and the first to reappear, during a hurricane. Sebastian has been a staple at UM since 1957 and gets stronger every year. The Miami Maniac is partial to the baseball team and Will often appear at menTS basketball games. The Ma- niac was created by baseball head coach Ron Fraser in 1982. The Maniads res- ume includes official mascot 0f the College World Series since 1983, offi- cial mascot 0f the Japan Bowl since 1987 and official mascot of the World Baseball Championships in 1986 in Holland. J ohn Routh, the man behind the Maniac and the Ibis, can, in the short span of an inning change, deliver laughter to last the Whole game. In addition to the Mascots, there are three groups which work hard to entertain the crowds.

Seven simple words that embodied the . spirit of Joseph Pulitzerts New York World more than 100 years ago also signify the aims of the editors of The M iami Hurricane newspaper. A semi- weekly paper with a circulation ofabout ; 10,000, the Hurricane has worked over the years to serve the students of the University of Miami with the news they needto know. A quick glance over the yeafs headlines reveal timely coverage of a ' Wide range ofevents on the news pages. An upsurge of campus volunteerism had UM students participating in a number ofphilanthropy events through out the year. While students quibbled over passes to the Notre Dame game, UM Athletic Director Sam J ankovich weighed conference optians. Student 9 . Government President Irwin P. Raij claimed he was tsetting a new stan- dardgwhile professors in the School of Business tried to cope With a cheating - scandal. The H urricane also served as a forum for lively, intelligent debate of campus and national issues. Student columnists voiced their views on every. thing from the crisis in the Middle East 9 and German reunification to campus recycling effortsand the need for im- provements in the Otto G. Richter Li- brary. 9 Despite often receiving harsh criticism from the student body, the 1989-90 Hurricane received one of col- lege journalisnfs highest honors - a regional Pacemaker award from the Associated Collegiate Press - placing the paper among the top 20 non-daily college newspapers in the country. The award recognizes papers for their news and sports coverage, photographic con- tent, graphic display, and editorial commentary. Former Editor in Chief Lina Lopez said of the award: Things can only go up from here. The year in news really lent itselfto extra effort by every- one on staff. It was a challenge from the beginning, but the more we pushed the better we get? This year, the all-student staff has workedjust as hard to continue the H urricanets tradition of j ournalistic excellence. The paper was redesigned over the summer, and the first issue sported several. changes in the format and presentation of the news. Better graphics and more color have improved the look of the paper, and more cover- age Ofnational and international events have broadened the focus of the paper. Dr. Bruce Garrison has been the adviser for the Hurricane since 1985 and says he has seen improvement each year. ttWetre doing a better job of covering the campus? Garrison said. nBut youtre only as good as your last issue, and my goal is to make this newspaper the best it can be? Garrison The Miami Hurricane is , printed twice a week.

BY SHERRI MARGOLIN The University of Miami Sing- ing Hurricanes is the premier show choir of the University. The groupie members, twenty-one in all, were audi- tioned in the beginning of the fall se- mester and encompassed both music majors and 'non-music majors from every discipline. The 1990-91 Hurri- canes were led by Robert Bigley, a music media major in his senior year of unid- ergraduate study. The music for the first semes- ter was a medley of several popular tunes including: Gloria Estefan,s ttGet on Your Feet? Wilson Phillipis 6Hold 011? Michael Jacksonis tWhirl in the Mirror? and Billy J oelis tSecond Wind? ail of which centered around the theme song, written by Russ Taff, called ttWe Will Stand? Bigley, With the help of others, put together the show which focused on the promotion of ttel positive lifestyle? The Singing Hurricanes plan ned to take the show to a number of high schools and middle schools in the Miami area, with the intention of giving support and direction for the teenaged audiences through their music. Bigley also wanted to provide a type of peer counseling for the kids by interacting the students with the choir. The second semesteris music was directed toward an older audience. The shoe w centered around the Big Band Era and included songs by the Andrew Sisters, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzger- ald and other stars from the 19403. Again under Bigleyis direction, the Hurricanes planned to perform this mm a t ' -w fur retirement homes and service clubs in Miami, where they were sure to be a success. In addition to their off campus performances, the Singing Hurricanes had three successful performances in the University of Miamiis Gusman Concert Hall.

Organizations 291 Recognizing those who contribute to the glory, fame and growth of the Uhviersity ofMiami, induction into Iron Arrow is the U niversity 'S most prestigious honor. BY DARREN DUPRIEST Tradition. It is a word defined as tthe handing down of knowledge, beliefs, and cus- toms from one generation to another. From its inception, the Iron Arrow Honor Society has provided the Univer- sity with its most prestigious traditions while always maintaining its commit- ment to leadership and service. Founded in 1926, merely one month after the University of Miami opened its doors by Uuivm city 1 '3 .t Bow- man Festex Ashe and Francis Hough- taling, the Universitys first student, Iron Arrow was granted the first char- ter by the Un iversity proclaiming it ttthe highest honor attained? Ashe envisioned the organization as one which would honor those who contributed greatly tto the glory, fame and growth of the University of Mi- ami? The original ideals set forth for the Tribe, as it is known, were based on traditions, rituals, and symbols on the history of Floridats first inhabitants, the Seminole Indians. Tapping into the society is held twice a year, during Homecoming and again in March. Each candidate is examined for leadership, scholarship, character, humility, and love of Alma Matter, and must be unanimously ac- cepted by the members of the tribe. hIron Arrow recognizes those ex- emplary people who go above and be- yond their responsibility? said Phil Needles, Chief of Iron Arrow. ttI have never felt so honored at UM as when I was tappedf said Derek Shoup, a Fall 1990 tappee. t1 was in awe at how solemn the Iron Arrow members were as we marched across campus back to the Iron Arrow mound where I was vested with my own Semi- nole jacket? Through the years, an honor soci- ety created to be the hhighest honor attainable, at the University of Miami has grown from the inspired original nine members to over 1,700; each of Whom proudly keep those ideals of the Miccosukee Seminole Nation and those of the University of Miami at heart.

In this exclusive, the 1991 Ibis editor shares his thoughts and experiences. BY BRADLEY BROKER Editor-inaChief Ibis Yearbook Yearbook. So many different things come to mind when I hear that word. So many things, in fact, that this is the third version of this article. Excuse the lack of objectivity which may follow. The way I learned it, a year- book is a history book. The goal is to recapture and record the highlights and significant events of a particular year, and present them in some sort of mean- ingful and orderly fashion. That, of course, was the official definition as it was told to me by the itprofessionals? The correct, or modified, defini- tion is: Cover as many events as pos- sible while attempting to remain sane in the process. The yearbook is a natural part of the school year often taken for granted. For example; every year, Homecoming will take place, the foot- ball team will win, and final exams Will come after mid-terms. Just as these events naturally occur, the yearbook will appear in May. If only it were that easy. Before I was editor, I did not understand the work involved with the production of a book this size. In fact, if I did understand, I may have thought twice about running for the position tprecisely why Darren, my predeces- sor, didIft tell mei. As one of the two people at UM who understands the trials and tribu- lations of being editor-in-chief, let me briefly-e-wry briefly-explain a little bit about what we do. The making of a yearbook can be separated into three parts. First is preeproduction. This is the time when story ideas are created, theme concepts are tossed around and perhaps a cover design is sketched. Well, this stage is very similar to writing a research pa- per-if its not due, put it off. I intended to complete, or at least start, this stage over the summer. Yea, right. Some work was done in mid- August. The theme was created tcour- tesy of Rob and the cover was designed. Aside from that, very little was accom- plished. Stage two: Production. Now it's time to hand out photo and writing assignments, create a layout or two, and distribute contracts. The contracts were available to greeks and clubs to purchase their pages. As much as I would like to list the obstacles which were overcome during this process, Pd much rather finish this article today. Suffice it to say that there were problems, but we made it through. The senior portraits fall under stage two. Varden Studios came to UM for five weeks, starting in September. Our staff was in the breezeway for two weeks of signups. Posters were plas- tered all over campus. The Hurricane ran ads in every issue for over a month, i emphasizing an October deadline. As of April, I still got calls asking when senior portraits were going to be taken and how to get a picture in the book. The biggest problem with the production stage is that to properly record an event, it must occur before we complete the spread. Naturally, most events take place during deadline week, Organizations 296 I I; n. IACJJ ..I...I I i5 which makes for a fun and happy staff. Speaking of the staff, I men- tioned handing out assignments. There was an involvement fair at the start of the year where I compiled a list of approximately 60 writers and photog- raphers. From that list, I received one story and no photos. So, it was up to the staff, and my friends who pitied me, to write the articles; As for the photo- graphs, if I had to take an educated guess, about 8570 of the photos in this book were taken by two people, Mike and Davemsurprising for a university with a photo communication depart- ment. But, once again, we made it through. Deadlines were interesting. This is the time When pillows are brought into the office, the refrigerator is filled, and the Dominois guy knows to be at our door every night. One of my goals When I started this job was to avoid those hell-ish weeks. Silly me. After months of completing a minimal number of pages, we always managed to do 50 or 60 pages during the waeek. The production process also includes Delmaris end of the deal. These are the fine folks in North Carolina who take care of printing the book. I could expand on the produc- tion stage, but space is limited. After reading the above para- graphs, our work didn,t seem too diffi- cult. Well, dorft let me fool you. Anyone who knows me or Darren can attest to the fact that we were not the most pleasant people to be around during our tenures as editors-in-chief. And for those who do not know me, let me just say that when I went home to Philadel- phia for winter break, I was more pale- white than my friends who were home from the University of Wisconsin. The third and final post-pro- duction stage is a piece of cake, com- pared to stage two. Delmar sends me A much too common scene. The only illumina- tion in the University Center is from the lights in Suite 229-- the the proofs to make sure everything is OK, and I mail them back. This process took place in March, anti by then I was en- ibis Yearbook Joymg my 391110? year office. While the and I had some-what sane sleep, a of a tan select few work ' th h the n' ht Its hard to be roug '9 to complete a deadline. Photo by Michael RoyI responsible for the year-in-review. I never enjoyed my history books in high school, which is probably Why I never pursued the sub- ject in college. But, I now have an incredible appreciation for the work involved with the making of history book or, more specifically, a yearbook. We did our best to accurately record the 1990-91 school year and I hope you enjoyed the 65th edition of the Ibis. Any complaints can be directed to the new editor-in-chief. Enjoy.
