This Is . . . 4 From the sun-kissed beaches, the futuristic downtown, to an international University, the city of Miami has it all. Miami is a city of sights and sounds. Few places in this world can offer its residents and visitors a year-round celebration of life as MIAMI can. Entertainment . . . 32 Whether it is attending concerts, parades, festivals, parties or just having fun at the Rathskeller, Miamians do not have to look too far for their source of ENTERTAINMENT. Starts ... 66 Boasting National Championship teams in football, baseball and woman ' s golf, along with the many other outstanding athletic teams, the University of Miami can not only be considered a fine academic institution but also an outstanding ATHLETIC one. Retrospect . . . 114 Looking back at it all, change is an integral part of any University in an international city. From the campus beautification, the in- creased international programs for the growing international popu- lation, newly dedicated Honors College, to the revival of a basketball team, the 1984-85 school-year was one to remember in RETROSPECT. Seniors . . . 124 After four years of obscurity, this section is reserved for the few, the proud, the graduating SENIORS. Club: 134 With such a diversity in cultures and interests, the University of Miami lends itself to many notable and unique organizations and CLUBS.

—■„.,., „ ...... ,.. .W ■This is . . . The University of Miami. Beginning in 1926 with cardboard walls in the partially completed Biltmore Hotel, UM has ex- ceeded the boundaries of its Coral Gables campus, encompas- sing ten schools and colleges. Permeating the South Florida area with over 100 graduate and professional programs, there is something here for everyone. Located off Key Biscayne, next to the Miami Seaquarium, is the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The James L. Knight University of Miami Convention Center, UM ' s downtown campus, hosts University lectures, concerts and seminars in addition to international con- ventions, city festivals and celebrations. Jackson Memorial Hos- pital complex, in the heart of downtown Miami, is home of the renowned University of Miami Medical School and research facilities. The city of Miami. A rapidly growing metropolis with a $3 billion construction boom and prominent banking and business industries, encompassing 27 municipalities. It entertains mil- lions of visitors each year by offering powerboat racing, jai-alai, Grand Prix Racing, Dolphins football, horse racing, The Miss Universe Pageant and greyhound dog racing. In the fashion industry, Miami has become synonymous with New York and Paris, offering shops in Coconut Grove, Dadeland, Miracle Mile, The Falls and The Omni. Experiencing Miami ' s exciting nightlife at clubs such as Club Z, Manhattans, Biscayne Baby, Regine ' s and Faces in The Grove, makes New York City an anachronism. Miami ' s cruises to the Bahamas, deep-sea fishing in the Atlantic Ocean, skin-diving off the Florida Keys, waterskiing and sailing on Biscayne Bay, and limitless white sandy beaches offer an escape from the city ' s fast-moving pace. With an added international flavor, Miami has become diversi- fied in both culture and in the arts. World recognition of this diversification was brought to Miami when it hosted the 1984 Miss Universe Pageant. Even Hollywood producers have be- come attracted to Miami, wanting to cast and film movies and TV shows like Scarface, Absence of Malice and NBC ' s televi- sion show Miami Vice. Just as the city has changed and expanded, so has the Universi- ty. UM is the largest, privately controlled, voluntarily supported institution of higher learning in the Southeast. The institution ' s four presidents — Bowman Foster Ashe, Dr. J.F. Pearson, Hen- ry King Stanford and Edward T. Foote — have proved them- selves as effective founders, builders and leaders.
