Most of the work lies ahead. Right now, all our ideas are still excit- ing, layouts and story ideas are still coming easily, and everyone texcept for a few people who shall remain namelessl is still around and getting along with one another. Right now, 11m optimistic. The year is already off to an exciting start, and the yearbook we have planned will be something completely new, yet familiar. I do not know exactly how it will turn out, but let me tell you what we had in mind. After examining the past few books, we decided that tighter orga- nization was needed. The book seemed to divide itself into only three areas, as opposed to the 10 sections of the 1991-1992 yearbook. We did not discard any traditional departments, we just shuffled them around and added a little logic to the table of contents. But we were bored with the iltraditionalll style of yearbook layout and design. So, in an attempt to create something entirely new, we borrowed heavily from the world of magazines and newspapers. We owe a debt to the editors and designers of Time, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and Esquire. tHey, if you are going to steal, steal from the best. RightiD In addition, new computer equipment and some amazing software have opened up new possibilities for us and will give us more control over the process. tThank you, Raymonde Bilger and members of the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committeej The first section of the book will look the most foreign to you. Our idea was to create something along the lines of a Life magazine 11Year In Review? The chronological format, we believe, will make it more interesting to read - both now and 20 years from now - when you look back at your time at the University of Miami. No, there is no theme. I do not believe themes are necessary, and many times they don't really work. Besides, the theme of every year- book should be the year. We consider this year's theme to be 1992- 1993 at the University of Miami, and we hope to do a good job captur- ing the words and images of this year. tAnd if you really need some kind of theme for the year, check out the cover story that begins on page 103 Hurricane Andrew probably set the theme for the year, but we decided to give it extensive coverage as a news story rather than devote the whole book to it. Besides, last year's book was fairly prophetic and used Hurricane Warning! as its theme. Because of our deadlines, our coverage begins with commence- ment last May and continues up until the early part of the spring semester. tYes, the 1993 yearbook is mainly about 1992, but that canit be helpedJ This all sounds great right now. Easier said than done, however. Let me know how you think we did. Robert Anthony laszlo Miller, Editor In Chiel September 16, 1992 The Year Ill BGViBW Dave Bergman FROM THE PRESIDENT near Friends, ot since 1926 has any semester at the University of Miami begun as during your senior year. Living through Hurricane Andrew was an experience none of us will ever forget. Among my countless memories are those of so many of you in positions of leadership as resident assistants, Class officers and organization heads, helping to cope in the crisis. The University of Miami family was never Closer or stronger than in those trying days following the storm. Many thanks for your help e and your patience. After nearly a quarter of the century in higher education, I have become accustomed to the cycle of Change inherent in the enterprise. It was just yesterday on that hot late August afternoon that Mrs. Foote and I welcomed you at the freshman picnic in our back yard. Congratulations on your graduation. I will remember you and treasure our good fortune that you passed this way. Yours is a fine Class. I appreciate your many contributions to making the University of Miami better.

There are also com p16Xions, values, brilliance, saturation, lights, darks and pigmeznts to consider.

Photos by Dave Bergman 10 w tilolmm Yt's all in the lightt By ROBERT MILLER erhaps no other place in the world is as colorful as Miami. South Florida has more brilliance, tinges and complexions to keep the eyes happy than any other part of the country. Simply look around, and you cant be bored. That is probably why it has been such a favorite tourist spot over the years. Miami is Visually stimulat- ing. Why are so many commercials and fashion shoots are now being done in Miami? The photographers will tell you itis the light. llThere is something about the light here itls spe- cial? one photographer said. tOf course, the weather doesnit hurt eitherJ There is also the fun-filled atmos- phere of sun, sand and the sea. The Latin accents and the recent dangerous reputation make the place llcolor- fulil in many different ways. III the colloquial sense Miami is colorful, all right - in the colloquial sense. A colorful and dubious history has given the city a certain reputation for eccentricity. What other city would name a street for a known narcotics traffick- er? But to love this city is to love its color. Dave Barry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and colum- nist for The Miami Herald, explained why he loved Miami this way: lII really like South Florida. Sometimes I love South Florida. But its not easy to explain why I like Bayside and the Grove I like the Book Fair and the Columbus Day Totally Nude Regatta and of course the King Mango Strut, a wondrously demented event that each year proves the important and reassuring scientif- ic law that there is no direct correlation between age and maturity I like South Beach on a Saturday night when the bars are busy and the bands are playing and the Beautiful People are strolling past beautiful, yet somehow comical, architecture and the world famous Atlantic Ocean is right there mil Some people are overwhelmed by the weirdness that goes on here, others are excited by it. William Jennings Bryan, the legendary politician and founding father of the University of Miami, said in 1924, ttMiami is the only City in the world where you can tell a lie at breakfast that will come true by evening? This is, after all, the city where Gary Hart line. 12 The former Centrust Tower is a highlight of Miami's colorful sky- was caught with his pants down. But this former resort town, now an international city and the tlsocial crossroads for the Americas? according to US. News 62 World Report, is hot and alive with color like no other American city. University of Miami students are a part of all this color. Going to school in such a place has its distinct advantages. At UM, it seems as if bright colors are a part of everything we do. They are mandatory. Iron Arrowls jackets, Homecoming, football, Greek Week, the Rathskeller, etc. Color, color, color! We should expect no less from a University that has three such bright official colors. Burnt orange, dark green and white are colors that take a little getting used to, but they grow on people. Calle Ocho, South Beach, Hurricane football, Key Biscayne, the ocean and the bay, Coconut Grove, the Homecoming fireworks and boat burning, the sunsets - it all begs to be photographed in Technicolor. Mere black and white does not do the intense reds, greens and blues jus- tice. These colors can be seen: - On 8th Street, where the Cuban men play dominoes in the park. - At the annual Goombay Festival in Coconut Grove, celebrat- ing Bahamian culture. - In the trendy European tourists and the older Jewish popula- tion that share Miami Beach. - During commencement exer- cises on the lawn of the University of Miami, where the shower of con- fetti, champagne and balloons is a tradition. - On the streets of downtown, during the annual Nissan Grand Prix of Miami. - On the waters of Biscayne Bay Saturday and Sunday as the weekend sailors take their crafts out and the sailboards and catamarans cut the waves and ride the winds. - Downtown on any given evening, thanks to the many bank buildings and offices that have added neon and flood lights to make the skyline a celebration of color.

News 8: World Report. The City has been compared to a tossed salad - not a melting pot, however. People arriving in Miami do not llmeltli together and blend smoothly into one cohesive community. But they do come together to lend their ttflavorsil to a great mix - like a tossed salad. The University is just as diverse - if not more so - as the rest of the city. Sit in the International Lounge of the University Center for just a little while and that becomes quite evident. TI'IIB COIIII'S Sometimes it has seemed like that tossed salad has more in common with a salad dress- ing - oil and Vinegar - than lettuce and toma- toes. The different groups in Miami have, at times, been at odds. The Mariel Boat Lift, ttthe most abrupt demographic upheavalii to occur in ltany city on the North American con- tinent? according to Newsweek, the drug wars, rioting in Overtown, Liberty City and Coconut Grove, and the homeless problem have all polarized portions of the City at one time or another. But adversity is something Miamians are Jim Gibson used to. And most of the time it brings out the UM's campus is best in them. often compared to Hurricane Andrew is just one example. a tropical garden. They showed their true colors then, in the aftermath of the llworst natural disaster in US. history? Neighbor joined neighbor in cleaning up and rebuilding. The University community jumped in and did more than its share of good deeds following Andrew. Students, faculty and staff from all the Universityls schools and departments, after helping our own, went immediately to work helping others less fortunate. They turned a dark moment into a shining one. It has been like this following every upheaval. After the big hur- ricane of 1926, the Great Depression, World War II, the drug wars and the influx of refugees, Miamians have pulled together and rebuilt their city, stronger and better than before.

Jim Gibson The Year In Review 19 WHU WE ARE THE comns The Universityis school colors were selected in 1926 by a com- mittee consisting of Ruth Bryan Owens fdaughter of famed attorney and founding father of UM William Jennings Bryanl, Harry Provin fthe first athletic directorl, and Bertha Foster, the founder of the Miami Conservatory and the first dean of the School of Music. Coral Gables architect Denman Fink was commissioned by the group to submit a proposal. He chose three colors, similar to the colors of the city of Coral Gables - burnt orange, Biscayne green fa dark green color he createdl, and white. The group approved Finkis proposal. At the time, Owens, who was a member of the first Board of Regents, suggested the colors were appropriate because they rep- resented one of the states symbols: the Florida orange tree. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves, and white stands for the blossoms. The University has a living source for these colors in the Spirit Tree, a 15-foot valencia orange tree that was planted in front of the Ashe Building during Homecoming 1991. THE HUBBIBANES No one is sure how it started. Some reports say the 1927 football team held a team meeting to select a nickname for their young team and University. Supposedly, they chose the name Hurricanesf, hoping they would sweep away opponents just as the devastating storm on Sept. 15, 1926, nearly swept away their school. Another version says that Miami News columnist Jack Bell asked end Porter Norris of the 1926 team what the team should be called. Told that local dignitaries and University officials wanted to name the team for a local flora or fauna, Norris said the players wouldnit stand for it and suggested fiHurricanesf since the opening game had been postponed by such a storm. From time to time, opposition has arisen to the name that would freinforce the Miamiis negative reputation as a weather-beat- en community living constantly under the threat of destruction? But as one UM official rationalized in the 19608, fiDoes anyone think Chicago is overrun by bears just because the town has a football team by that name?'i SEBASTIAN THE IBIS The University chose the ibis as its symbol of fighting spirit in 1926. The word fibis literally means waiting bird. The ibis is the Egyptian symbol of knowledge. Traditionally, it is also the last bird to leave before a hurricane and the first to return after the storm has passed. Proposed by Student Union Director Norman fChink Whitten, the first ibis costume made its debut at a football game on Oct. 30, 1958. It was created by two students, Charles Nomina and John Stormont, with the help of Mrs. Stormont and Mrs. Ben Alter fthen the house mother of the San Sebastian Dormitoryl. He was origi- nally named icky, but later he was renamed Sebastian after the dormitory in which he was first created. Sebastian is the official mascot of Hurricane football. Over the years, students have given Sebastian a personality and watched him evolve. He was married to his longtime girlfriend Violet at a ceremony during a football game in 1962. Their first child, Falstaff, was hatched a year later. The English insurance company Lloydis of London was asked to insure his head after after it was cracked in a fight with Florida State University band members following a foot- ball game in 1962. At one time, the Undergraduate Student Government pur- chased a live ibis for use as the Universityis mascot. However, that did not last long. Members of USG apparently were unsure of how to properly care for an ibis, and the bird took ill two weeks later. On Dec. 14, 1962, The Miami Herald reported that he was given to the Crandon Park Zoo, where he was treated for malnutrition. UM, Miami share a colorful history By ROBERT MILLER City? was little more than a settlement until an enterprising woman named J ulia Tuttle sent industrialist Henry Flagler a crate of orange blossoms. Flagler was building a railroad to West Palm Beach and Tuttle wanted to convince him to extend his East Coast Railway further south. The rest of the state had been frozen -ice was reported to be an inch thick in some parts - and the flowers proved Miami was below the freeze line. Impressed with Miamiis weather, Flagler extended the rail lines, forever marking the place as a haven for snow-bird tourists from the Northeast. The railroad was finished April 15, 1896. On July 28, 1896, Miami was incorporated as a city. But it took awhile for Dade County to lose its frontier look. The people that lived here then were pioneers settling an untamed region filled with mosquitoes, poisonous snakes and plagued with continual land-clearing dif- ficulties. But this was a placefor dreamers. One pioneer named George Merrick dreamed of a Spanish- Mediterranean city in Floridals tropics - Coral Gables. Another developer envisioned an Arabian Nights idyll on the edge of the Everglades - Opa Locka. Neither man was as successful as he wished - Miami has never been an easy place. But the tourists kept coming down on Flagleris trains - except the time the entire city was quarantined because of an outbreak of yellow fever, and they fueled theconstruction of Miami and Miami Beach, Coconut Grove and Hialeah. Many stayed or returned later. Residents weathered devastating hurricanes and the Great Depression - both booms and busts - to live here in what non-natives called aParadisef, But the city grew up quickly. What was once a tiny seaside trading post had grown into an international trade and hemispheric business center in less than 100 years. It all began with a crate of orange blossoms.

The University in Paradise South Florida's pioneers always believed their woul-be metropo- lis needed a university to make it truly metropolitan, but it would prove to be just as difficult to create a university here as it was to build a city. The University of Miami really began to take shape in 1916, when former Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan - one of those pioneers - proposed that a training school for students from all the Americas be located in Miami. 20 The Year- n1 Review True Colors Some of the first students in UM's marine studies pro- gram participate in underwater class- es. Bobo, below, was the Hurricanes' first official mas- cot. He posed for this photo in 1951. Over the following years, several com- mittees formed to plan such an institution. Each tried and failed. Finally, efforts by two residents led to the issuing of the Universityis charter by Dade County in 1925. George Merrick donated the land U60 acresl and provided a large part of the fund- ing for the construction of the campus. His plans for Coral Gables, his -Venice of the West? had included a college and a high school. Merrickis donation of $5 million was to be matched from other sources. The cornerstone for the first building on campus, the Solomon G. Merrick Building, named for George Merrickis father, was laid on Sept. 4, 1925. Despite great enthusiasm, however, financial difficulties began to arise. Merrickis donation could not be matched and work on the building was transferred to the recently-leased Anastasia Hotel, which was also not completed, to ensure students would have classrooms to sit in when the time came. tThe skeleton of the Merrick Building would be left untouched for 23 years, however, until construction could finally resume in 1949.1 A Stormy Start Nothing came easily in Miami at that time, and events seemed to conspire against the young University. Just before the first classes were to begin, disaster struck. On Sept. 18, 1926, a devastating hurri- cane swept through South Florida, taking lives, destroying property and killing the -Florida Land Boomll and most of the devel- opersl dreams. The University,s major sup- porters were suddenly broke, and the yet-to- built University was now suffering under the weight of a heavy debt load. But despite seemingly insurmountable, the Universityis Board of Regents battled through great adversity behind the leadership of UMis first president, Bowman Foster Ashe, and managed to open the University, though in the leased facilities of the Anastasia Building, on Oct. 15, 1926. Five hundred and sixty students regis- tered for the Universityls first year. At the front of the line on the first day of registra- tion was Francis Houghtaling, UMis first student. Those students, and many that came after them, had their classes in the -Cardboard College? the name given to the University because, in order to hold classes in the Anastasia Building, cardboard separa- tions were erected to make partitions for the classrooms. Despite adding the School of Law in 1928 and the School of Business The Year kl Bcview Photos courtesy of the UM Archives Administration in 1929, the University found itself undergoing severe financial problems. Debts piled up and salaries could not be paid. At one time President Ashe had to pay the faculty out of his own pocket. In 1932, the University was forced to file for bankruptcy. But the Universityls supporters Were determined to keep the school going. President Ashe and others formed a new corporation, and in 1934, at an auction, they bought back most of the Universityis proper- ty for $15,758.84. After that, things began to get better and the University began to steadily expand and prosper, along with the rest of South Florida. 21 The Year In Review Farewell Class of '92 goes out in style By FERNANDO BATTAGLIA he University of Miamiis class of 1992 filled the air with bal- loons and confetti as UM president Edward T.

The commitment is huge, the hours are long. The benefits? Tuition remission, meeting and working with important people at the University and in the community, prestige and a chance to make a difference for the students. Irwin Raij, two-time SG President from 1990-92, and David Diamond, president from 1992-93, have both made this commit- ment to the University and to the students. What are the results of this com- mitment? What has SG done for stu- dents over the last three years? The Wellness Center, a multi-million dollar fitness center, will be built in 1994, partly due to the efforts of SG and Raij. He headed the committee to push for a mandato- ry student fee of $85 a semester, necessary to build the center. Also during his tenure, Raij helped bring Force Five, the convenience store, to cam- pus. Above all, though, Raij restored confi- dence in a group that had been hurt by sean- dal and poor leadership. Last year, UMis SG was voted iiBest Private School Student Government in Florida? by F lorida Leader magazine. Raij was also featured on the cover. Raij, who majored in finance and entre- 24 preneurship and is currently studying law at George Washington University in St. Louis, said he could not single out any one thing that he was most proud of. 111 have a hard time singling out one par- ticular thing.

In office, Raij said he worked to let stu- dents voices be heard by the administration. Raij was the first SG president allowed to speak before the entire Board of Trustees. Diamond said he would like to expand the connection between the SG president and the Board of Trustees. Not only does he want to continue the speaking rights that Raij received, but Diamond said he would like to give stu- dents voting rights on the board. Currently, stu- dents have four seats on the Board of Trustee committees. They are non-voting seats, howeV- . er. Other than acting itas a bridge to the adminis- tration? Raij and Diamond said they are interested in increasing the voice of students in Florida's government.

Foote ll immedi- ately appointed Paul Sugrue, a 12 year veteran m the University and former senior vice provost, as dean TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS By FRANK BECIO he School of Business Administration started the 1992- 93 year with a new dean and a new attitude. Facing turmoil and disgruntled professors through- out the 1991-92 term, Dean Kenneth Fedor resigned in May, and President Edward T. Foote 11 immediately appointed Paul Sugrue, a 12 year veteran of the University and for- mer senior Vice provost, as dean. The problems, which trace back to Fedoris budget cuts in the fall of 1991 and his opinion about amount research being done by professors, led the Department of Economics to unanimously vote to leave the school and sparked discussions in the Departments of Political Science and Accounting about doing the same. Fedor was quoted in February as saying the business faculty tt...are unhappy for a variety of reasons. We have to allocate our resources on a budgetary constraint. The number of freshmen enrolled has decreased again this year and we are losing funds? Foote met with the different department heads in the school on Feb. 25, 1992, to dis- cuss the problems. At the time, Foote said: 91 met with the chairmen a couple of days ago. We discussed them confidentially, and it is Clear there are some differences of opinion over there about the direction that the school should be following? ' Foote, however, said he felt comfortable with Fedor. 21 hired the clean. I and many people have a lot of confidence in his ability and what he can bring the school? he said. 91 haven't changed my mind about that?

On that date, following a dramatic 4-3 Victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow J ackets in Fraseris final regular season game as Miami coach, he round- ed the base paths of Mark Light Stadium for the first and final time, shaking the hands of the fans and digni- taries who encircled him. Then, he elegantly strolled the red-carpet laden white Rolls Royce and was driven off into the South Florida sunset. Baseball at the University of Miami will continue. But it wonit be the same. ttI fell down a little at Gainesville and let my emotions get to me at Florida State? Fraser said during the ceremony. ttBut this morning was the toughest; waking up this morning and realizing it was the end? Humble Beginnings Itis your basic Horatio Alger story. Ron Fraser, the Wizard of college baseball, retired after 30 years at UM. Ronald George Fraser was born on June 25, 1936 in Nutley, NJ. His father passed away at age nine and his mother left at age 11. tiMy mother was a great con artist? Fraser said. itI remember eating cornstarch pudding. She tried to make it sound like we were lucky. Sheid say, i You wonit have to eat meat and potatoes tonight. Well have cornstarch pud- ding? Being kids, we thought pudding meant dessert? ttMy office was small with a concrete block inte- riorf Fraser said, recalling his first days of coaching at UM. ttAnd the desk was loaded with termites. I found a pint bottle of blue- berry brandy in one of the drawers, left over from the previous coach. I guess that ithe brandyl kind of told me the job I was get- ting into? Fraser overcame the burden of uniforms donated by the US. Marines and poorly sod- den fields by producing winning baseball programs. Fraser says he always remembered the words of former UM Athletic Director J ack Harding, the man who hired him. itHe told me, do the best job you can? Fraser said. The Year III BOViBW J.C. Ridley Ron Fraser was often called the P.T. Barnum of college baseball for his promotional ideas. He gave away free certificates for open heart surgery, had fans scramble around the field in efforts to collect 10,000 one dollar bills in 30 seconds, and even gave free admission to those fans with bigger feet than the UM President Edward T. Foote II. The Year In Itcvlow .; s twig v ,3 iiBut don t spend too . much money? Fraser didnit have to spend money; he raised it. In 1971, he befriended local busi- nessman George Light. It was Light who donated money to help build the stadi- um that bears the name of his son, Mark Light, who died at age nine of muscular dys- trophy. To celebrate the . addition of permanent seats, and to raise more funds, Fraser devised iithe most ele- gant meal on plastic grass? an eleven course meal prepared by world renowned chefs, with strolling Violinists, a harpist and ponds with goldfish.

Fraser recalls. til said to myself, God, this guys funny.m The guys name was John Routh, a senior at the University of South Carolina. Fraser approached him and asked him to come to their series against Florida State, all 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 couldnit find a person talented enough 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 to perform both as the Maniac and the other mascot role at UM, Sebastian the Ibis. Quality Teams All of the promotions and Showmanship could only get so many bodies into the ballpark. Fraser also entertained by fielding winning teams. In 30 years, he has never had a losing record.

I didnit think that club was ever going to make it to Omaha. They made me proud? In 1982 and 1985, Fraserls clubs not only made it to Omaha for the College World Series, they won national championships - the only two in UM baseball history. Current major leaguers who played for Fraser during his 30-year tenure include: Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Greg Vaughn, Chicago White Sox pitcher Alex Fernandez, Kansas City Royals pitcher Neal Heaton, California Angels pitcher Joe Grahe and Minnesota Twins third baseman Mike Pagliarulo. Olympics and BGVOIIII Recognized for his achievements in amateur baseball, including coaching a 1987 USA team that finished with a silver medal in the Pan American Games, Fraser was named to coach the 1992 USA Olympic team in Barcelona, Spain in the first year baseball was an official medal sport. He will stay with the University of Miami to be chairman of the Cornerstone Campaign and will use his fund-raising skills to raise J.C. Ridley money for the Otto G. Richter Library and the College of Arts and Sciences. With Major League Baseball coming to South Florida in 1993, some speculate that Fraser may be offered a position in the Florida Marlins either in promotions, scout- ing, or as manager. Fraser, now 56 years old, tries to downplay rumors about the Marlins, though he does say it would be difficult to stay away from baseball for a long period of time. de like to have some time away from the game? he said. de like to relax and enjoy my family and grandchildren?

Notre Dame head baseball coach Pat Murphy said. lee came down here to win this thing? And win, they nearly did. Following a second-round upset by Notre Dame 6-3, Miami and Notre Dame met again in the final game of the 1992 Atlantic Regional. The winner of the double elimina- tion tournament would go on to the College World Series in Omaha. The loser would go home. Once again, the Miami season rode on the arm of senior lefty Jeff Alkire. And Alkire didnlt dis- appoint, tossing a complete game four-hitter as Miami defeated Notre Dame 5-1 and moved on to its first College World Series since 1989. A two-run homer by designated hitter Chap Rupp in the second inning would be all the cushion Miami would need. Alkire, who threw another complete game in Miamils opening round 3-1 won against Maryland Baltimore-County, was named the tourna- ment MVP. 11We left it up to Jeff to see if he was capable? Fraser said. itUsually, he pitches on five or six days rest, but he said he could do it. We hoped we could get five or six innings out of him and he came through? The win ended a dominant regular sea- son for Miami, fueled by Fraserls announce- ment of his retirement in J anuary.

Miami pitcher Jeff Alkire threw a complete game and was later named the tournament MVP. Tech. Coming through in the regionals was nothing new for Alkire, who in four career regional starts has compiled a 4-0 record and 0.92 ERA. After a lackluster pitching performance by Kenny Henderson in a 6-3 loss against Notre Dame, Miami entered the third-round of the Regionals one loss away from the end of its season. And Murphy, 37, a visionary who sold baseball to a football school -much the same way Fraser did 30 years ago- was two Victo- ries away from sending Notre Dame to its first college world series. The regionals proved to be a rekindling of an old rivalry usually dueled on the grid- The Year In Review iron. The intense Miami-Notre Dame foot- ball rivalry ended in 1990 when the Irish dropped Miami from its schedule. The two teams didnlt face each other in basketball but played a three-game series during the regular baseball season. Miami won two of the three games, including the rubber game in 14 innings. Miami faced second-seed North Carolina State in the third round of the tour- nament and gave the ball to an unlikely starter. Sophomore J ose Prado, the local hurler from Coral Gables High, had struggled for most of the season, los- ing his spot in the starting rotation. But the right-han- der Prado was the only pitcher rest- ed enough to start on a day where Miami would play two games and need to win both to survive. Prado pitched courageously. In his longest outing of the year, Prado a hurled into the eighth inning but J-C- Rid'ey after giving up a two run homer to Wolfpack first i baseman Vinny Hughes left the game tied 4-4. In came reliever Gus Gandarillas, the team leader in saves with four, to stop the bleeding. Time for some ninth inning heroics for Miami by two unlikely heroes. Reserve out- fielder Donald Robinson lashed a triple into right center field to lead off the ninth. Designated hitter Chad Rupp struck out. Third baseman Juan Llanes was intentionally walked, brining up to the plate Keith Tippett, pinch-hitting for shortstop Luis Hernandez. Tippett had just been added to the post- season roster after outfielder Bruce Thompson caught the flu right before the tournament. No matter, Tippett just calmly stroked a single to right field to save the Miami season, 5-4. J.C. Ridley In the final game of the regional, Miami scored scored 17 runs to soundly defeat the Irish of Notre Dame and earn Ron Fraser his last trip to the College World Series. ttI was just looking for a pitch I could drive - something I could hit? Tippett said. ttHe put one over the plate. 1th a great feel- ing to be part of a team and contribute? Miami did not have much time to cele- brate. Five hours after the dramatic conclu- sion of the North Carolina State game, the Hurricanes suited up again at 7:30 Sunday night to meet Notre Dame again. The season remained on the line. Fraser gave the ball to left-hander Sylvio Censale, who started out the season strong but struggled in recent starts. Miami jumped to a 3-0 lead but Censale gave up two runs in the third inning and was lifted in favor of freshman reliever Danny Graves. From that point on, Miami could have got away with the batboy pitching. The Hurricane offense awakened, as catcher Charles J ohnson, first baseman Kevin DeGiacomo and designated hitter Chad Rupp all socked home runs. The final score ended up reminiscent of a Hurricane football score, 17-2. But thatts not to diminish the effort of Graves, who pitched five and two-thirds innings of shutout baseball. ttWe were due? Fraser said. t1 talked yesterday about needing the middle of the lineup to do the job and they came through for us tonight?

By EILEEN GllKlEli he Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center opened the largest outpatient cancer center in Florida last May. The center, part of the University of Miami School of Medicine, promises the best in treatment and research facilities available in Florida. The center belongs to a network of cancer centers designated as 11comprehensive7 by the National Cancer Institute tNCD. Awarded to only 28 centers in the nation, the comprehensive designation means the center reaches the rigorous standards for patient care, clinical and laboratory research education, cancer control, and community out- reach set forth by the NCI. 11Being one of 28 cancer centers designated as comprehensive is extremely prestigious? said Bernard J . Fogel, dean of the school of Medicine. hIt is the only institution designated as such south of Birmingham, which permits us to offer a range of services for indi- viduals who have cancer that cancer centers without the Tcomprehen- sivel designation donlt have? Located at the 1475 NW 12th Ave., the facility will house more than 190 doctors, researchers and scientists. The building, planned to maximize patient comfort and conve- nience, was honored by Modern Healthcare and the American Institute of Architects for its design.

Donations from the Harcourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation allowed the plans for the 117,500 square-foot center to proceed. The gift, totaling $32.5 million, will be divided between construction, facul- ty support and an endowment fund. 11This gift is extraordinarily generous, UM President Edward T. Foote II said. 11The need is great. Everyday discoveries, some made in our own dis- tinguished cancer center, lead toward tomorrowls treatments for those who are suffering? For the past 19 years, the old comprehensive cancer center has served as the center of the Universityls clinical, research, education and prevention activities related to cancer. Formed in 1973, it merged with the Papanicolaou Cancer Research Institute in 1984. After receiving the donations in 1987, the center changed its name to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Scientists and doctors with the cancer center have many research interests, which range from viral oncology and molecular biology to radiation and surgical oncology. This helps to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the clinic in order to further advance cancer research. 11As a large comprehensive cancer center, we have expertise in almost every form of cancer? said Director Norman Altman. 11Whether one talks about orthopedics or medical oncology, surgery pediatrics or gynecological oncology, in almost every area there is a team of experts. This benefits the patient because a group of people review their problem, not just one individual?

The purpose of the summit was to chart a worldwide course to curb the fouling of the planets air, water and land. President George Bush stalled on whether or not to attend, but as it became a political issue for the incumbent president running for re-election, he final- ly did decide to attend the summit. It was reported that his primary reason for stalling was that the U.S. budget deficit had limited Washingtonts ability to back environmental ideas with financial resources.

The Pell Grant fraud story began June 21, 1991. In a press release sent out that day, UM President Edward T.

But Thomas and Marucci missed the deadline to apply for the program. Thomas sent the letter to a family attorney in Gainesville, Fla., who didnht respond to the government. Maruccits attorney, John Gale, contacted U.S. pretrial services officer Gregory Glasson but the letter did not reach the hands of US. Attorney Martin Goldberg in time. Both players were excused from practicing early in the fall by UM athletic director Dave Maggard and were not allowed to return to the team until they entered a pretrial diversion program. Neither play- er was suspended. This just a matter of them getting their legal situation straight- ened out? Maggard said. thWhen they enter the Ipretrial diversionl program they will get a chance to play? Editor's Note: Thomas and Marucci entered the pretrial diver- sion program on Sept. 4, one day before the season-Opener against Iowa, and were allowed to play for the remainder of the season. 40 ll! Year In REVIEW By ROBERT MILLER fter an exasperating 15- month investigation, a fed- eral grand jury reported that as many as 65 University of Miami stu- dent athletes may have faked financial aid forms in order to receive illegal grants. They were reportedly helped by a for- mer athletic administrator who took part of the money the students received to support a cocaine habit. However, it is unclear whether all the students knew they were breaking the law. Some say they were tricked by the administrator. In any case, the government has been forgiving. All but two of the students con- tacted by the US. Attorneys office were given protection from indictment when they agreed to enter a pretrial diversion program and make full restitution of the money they received. A bizarre story, to be sure, and one which, on the surface, seems to have nothing to do with, for example, Notre Damels Demetrius DuBose allegedly receiving gifts from wealthy alumni. But the two stories are related. All of these students, and a lot of others, are being tempted to take things that do not belong to them. But, why? Are they simply being greedy? Maybe. Perhaps it is because they are not being treated fairly. Could it be that the athletes are not compensated properly for the work they do? In addition to the entertainment they provide, these student-athletes raise millions of dollars and provide an inestimable amount of advertising for their universities. For example, in 1991 the Hurricane Robert Miller, a senior at the University of Miami majoring in broadcastjournalism and English literature, is the editor of the Ibis yearbook. Tempting late football team earned approximately $4 mil- lion for the rest of the UM athletic depart- ment tthe football team ends up paying for every other sportl, and every year they win a national championship the school experi- ences a jump in applications for enrollment. In addition, the school earns a tremendous amount of money from the sale of licensed merchandise when the team does well. In return for this work, the athletes have their tuition, room and board, fees and books paid for. At the University of Miami, a pri- vate school, that is a substantial amount of money - as much as $21,000 a year. But, they are not allowed to have anything else. They are not given any spending money and not permitted to have a part-time job teven if they had any time for onel, and many of these athletes come from poor inner city families that cannot give them much. This means, if they obey the rules, they are denied many of the things most college students take for granted - cars, clothes, even a night out. No other full-tuition scholarships come with such stiff regulations. It is no wonder that 65 UM student-ath- letes were tempted by a $600 grant. But, one might ask, what about the edu- cation they are supposedly receiving? Should the universities be required to do more than they already do? A college diplo- ma is supposed to be worth something. Isnit it worth a little bit of sacrifice? Yes, it is. But that education has a price tag. The proper question to ask is are the student-athletes paying too much for that diploma? In a perfect world, college athletics would be an extension of the college class- room. Student-athletes would be more stu- dent than athlete. But we do not live in a II! Year Ill REVIEW perfect world. In reality, these young people are more valuable as athletes. We make learning calculus less important than playing basketball. Because of this, we have big-time college athletics, driven by the huge dollars and exposure national television cre- ates. These great sideshows, however, have very little to do with getting a college educa- tion. But it is a reality, and if we cant change this, then we need to find ways of making this reality more bearable. These athletes tletls drop the llstudent- athletell euphemismy are providing a service. They are being compensated for that service, but they are not getting their fair share - oth- erwise we would not have so many incidents of cheating. The exceptional athletes will be com- pensated later with multi-million dollar con- tracts in the NFL or NBA, but now they deserve a little better. And, perhaps if they aretreated better, these kinds of scandals would stop. All three Division IA football coaches in the state of Florida have said they believe their players deserve more. Steve Spurrier, University of Florida head coach, said he worries whether smaller, less successful athletic departments could afford to give their athletes more than they already do. But there is so much money out there. Last year, a pay-per-View company offered to pay $30 million to host a national championship game. The offer was rejected, but Dennis Erickson, the Miami head coach, said the NCAA could take the money from a game like this to create a stipend for all the players in the division. All of the other major sports could do something similar. It is a simple thing that would cost the universities nothing, but it could make a big difference to those very talented, hard work- ing individuals that provide us with so much. 41 Ibis spams SIIMMEB 1992 M61178 golf eliminated By MARTIN EMENO n a surprise move by the University of Miami Athletic Department during the summer of 1992, Athletic Director Dave Maggard announced the elimination of the menis golf program effective imme- diately. Maggard cited a few reasons for the dismissal of the program, but said budgetary considerations and the Title IX- gender equity issues affecting womenis athletics were the main causes. ttThe program cost us roughly $250,000 a year? Maggard said. 11We will redistribute those funds partially to satisfy commitments we made to woments athletics and other programs, and partially to provide savings to enable us to financially meet our bottom line? The Title IX-gender equity issue deals with an NCAA amendment that bases the total number of athletic scholar- ships for male and female sports on the total gender-base population of the students at a university. Former coach Chuck Winship, who resigned to take the head coaching and head golf professional position at the University of South Florida, was shocked when he heard the news. ttl couldn1tbelieve they were thinking about eliminating the program, Winship said. 11 was surprised when it hap- pened because of the success the program has had? ttThe Hurricanes have fielded either an individual or a team in the NCAAis the past four years, and there are not a lot of schooFs who can say that? Winship said. All but two unnamed members of the team transferred to other colleges and universities for the upcoming school year. Those two students, however, will receive financial aid in order to continue their education this year at UM. Standout golfers Guy Hill and Ryan Parnell both transferred. Hill went to the University of Florida, while Parnell packed his bags and traveled north to the University of North Carolina. til had a lot of second thoughts about leav- ing the program?

The fury of Hurricane Andrew, later called the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, bore down on Dade County at approximately 5 a.m.. An estimated 160,000 people were rendered home- less by Andrew and hundreds of thousands more were left without water, electricity and emergency repairs in the weeks that followed. President George Bush declared South Florida a national disaster area with approximately $20 billion worth of property damage. More than 25,000 federal and state troops were on hand in South Dade in the weeks after the devastation, attempting to resume some normalcy for residents . In comparison to the damage sustained by the residents of South Dade, the University of Miamils three campuses fared well. Some 35 roofs, 800 windows and 3,000 trees were lost as a result of the storm, but there was no structural damage to any University buildings. President Edward T. Foote II estimated that the University sustained $11 million in damage, half of which would be covered by insurance. UM is also eligible for Federal Emergency Funds. Also, no serious injuries were reported 46 by any campus inhabitants, faculty or staff as a result of the storm. Four hundred university employees did lose their homes though, including head foot- ball coach Dennis Erickson.

For those that were in need of the most assis- tance, offices, Classrooms and other facilities were opened to house families with no place to go. Physical Plant attempted to make emergency repairs to staff homes as well. The UM Planning and Institutional Research department organized a make-shift grocery store in the Ibis cafeteria, stocked with free non-perishable goods that were donated in the wake. The llstoreii was able to help more than 200 families in need of food and water. An emergency ehild-care center was set up on campus for employees and the Student The Year In Review Health Center was kept open 24 hours a day for anyone who needed it, but no serious injuries were reported. The Essentials In addition to caring for the immediate needs of faculty and staff and beginning the clean-up of campus, the University was also responsible for several thousand students, many of whom were fresh- men, and their parents, who had already arrived for Orientation weekend. By Sunday, half of the students who live on campus had already checked into their rooms or apartments. Warned of the approach- ing hurricane, residential col- lege staffs quickly began preparing for the worst. In Hect and Stanford Residential Colleges, the top six floors of each building were evacuated. Students and parents spent the night in mattress-lined hallways and classrooms as the storm howled outside. 01 felt pretty safe in the hallway, but I was more wor- ried about my stuff?

Making A Dinerence A great majority of the stu- dents that remained on campus were instrumental in the clean- up efforts, volunteering all across campus and throughout the community. A large group of students made continuous trips to Homestead in the weeks after the storm, helping out however they could. llOne thing we did right off the bat was establish a volun- teer clearing house and a job clearing house? said William Butler, Vice president for stu- dent affairs. llRight from the beginning we had faculty, staff and student volunteers going out in teams to people who needed help immediately. It was a godsend? It was people like Fred Wickstrom, a UM music professor, who made a difference. Wickstrom responded to the calls from the county public works department for vol- unteers to man some of the 1,400 intersec- tions in Dade County still in need of traffic- signal repairs. He said, liThe University isnlt going to start until the 10th.

The Volunteer Services Center acted as the clearinghouse for the UM volunteers, but in addition to their work, a group of student volunteers formed the Hurricane Relief Committee. This group organizes weekend trips and helped with needs assessment in the South Dade area. Eight consecutive days of caravan trips to South Dade were organized. These trips targeted the most devastated communities of Leisure City and Homestead. Together, many students and faculty participated in distributing food, water and other essential supplies, assessing community needs, help- ing with roofing repairs and Clearing away debris. III was on the verge of tears, seeing everything totally destroyed? Cam Montuori, of the Hurricane Relief Committee, said. tIThe entire way down there no one said a word. I was in shock. Everyone was? However, to many of the hurricane Vic- tims, the compassion, concern and comfort- ing reassurance displayed were the most pre- cious contributions made by the students. llMany people, especially some of the elderly, just needed someone to talk with, someone who would listen to them. They were very, very, very grateful? Williams, a Volunteer Services coordinator, said. Similarly, the student volunteers were inspired by the resilience and optimism'of the residents. Their willingness to help their neighbors, despite incredible personal losses, provided a wonderful example of community and selflessness. In the face of tremendous adversity, these people found a common goal to work towards, a common obstacle to over- come. From these caravan trips, several stu- dents resolved to continue to provide hurri- cane relief assistance in as many different forms as possible. Montuori said the work he has done has been very rewarding.

The dedication of the students was also channeled into the aftermath programs of various organizations.

Others spent afternoons working at the Daily Bread Food Bank, loading and unloading the food sup- plies that Hooded in from across the country.

At the University, students also worked the telephone banks immediately following the storm to keep the rest of the student body, spread across the country and through- out the world, informed and updated regard- ing the fall semester. When the semester finally started in September, the Volunteer Services Center began scheduling trips each Saturday and Sunday to South Dade. In conjunction with Richmond Elementary, the Relief Committee launched a program to assist residents in helping rebuild their neighborhood. They recon- structed homes and provided families with counseling by UM faculty and staff. With support and commitment from the resi- dents, the students, and the University, this neighborhood, and others like it throughout South Dade, worked together, hoping to rebuild and overcome the rav- ages of Hurricane Andrew. By late November - three months after the storm, however, there was still much work to be done. tiWhat people donit realize is that there,s still nothing standing. Homestead has not yet been rebuilt?

The grant funded a redesign project for Homestead, Fla., and Florida City, Fla, a process which was compressed into three intense weeks, according to UM School of Architecture Professor Francois Lejeune. UMis School of Architecture and College of Engineering were involved in the program, as well as FIUls School of Design and College of Engineering and Design. Lejeune, who serves on the Innovation Committee of We Will Rebuild, said, stWe wanted to find an innovative way to design the future of South Dade. We had to identify the many elements of a bet- ter South Dade using social, economic and demographic data? Lejeune said some of the questions to be answered were regard- ing abandoned housing, landscaping, mobile homes, town centers and Homestead Air Force Base. tiltis being rebuilt in a different way. We hope to provide a sense of community that may not have been there before? Lejeune said. Thirteen specific plans were produced by the close of the project, ranging from broad outlines for future development to specific designs for ttmodelil neighborhoods. According to Alisa Block Sommer, an architecture graduate student who worked on the We Will Rebuild Committee, part of the rebuilding plan was to involve the residents in the development of their own communities. ttA lot of the places that people live they live because they have to? Sommer said. They donit think they have a voice in anything. This gives people a chance to have an impact on their community, and they will then have more pride in their area? The designers identified 28 distinct neighborhoods within the 75- square-mile area that they studied, suggesting that each be built around a community center to enhance a sense of community within the developments. The drawings and studies are only suggestions of how to rebuild, the cities can decide to accept or reject the ideas.

The shelter, designed and constructed during the spring semester of 1992, is the brainchild of seven senior year architecture students who set out to design and imple- ment low-cost housing communities to help alleviate the homeless problem in Miami. Since Hurricane Andrew, there is a greatly increased need for efficient, tempo- rary shelter in the Miami area. Both the City and county have been exploring alternative means of dealing with both the preexisting and after-disaster home- less population. Richard Hubacker, student architect, said, tiOur ideas are a valid solution to the homeless problem, especially now? At an estimated cost of $2,300 each, the 10-by- 16 feet bungalow-type shelters that the students designed are meant to house four people. The collection of shelters are V arranged in a courtyard configuration, with each courtyard ideally housing 25 to 50 peo- ple. In the initial plan, each community was meant to focus on a particular target group, such as single mothers and children or recov- ering drug and alcohol addicts, but this can be adapted to suit post-Andrew conditions as well. Andy Menendez, director of homeless projects for Metro-Dade, is working with the group to find an appropriate site. tTm a firm believer? he said. ttI am very desirous of getting one of these things up and running? Menendez is looking to gain the support of community based organizations to facili- tate to search for a site. ttChances are extremely good that we will be able to house folks, though perhaps not in the most ideal location? Menendez said. Though all of the students involved graduated last May, many are still active in the search for a site at which to begin con- The Year Ill Review The worst natural disaster in US. histow struction. As Anthea Gianniotes, another student designer, said, ttEverybody wants to do something about it thomelessnessl, but not everyone wants it in their back yard? Menendez said land is currently at a pre- mium, which makes the search for a site all the more difficult. The group is currently working with the Salvation Army to use a site near one of their buildings at 208th S. Dixie Hwy. Menendez said, ttThe beauty of a mar- riage between the Salvation Army and the studentsl design is that it tthe resulting com- munityl will be more than a place to live.

For everybody living in South Florida, tension levels were running high. Hurricane Andrew was ever, but the stress and seats would never leave. The University of Miami 5 Department of Psychiatry proved to be a valuable resource for the Seuth Florida community in dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. Dr. Pamela Deroian, a UM clinical psychologist, knows the trauma hurricane victims can experience. She lost every- thing during Hurricane Hugo when it hit Charleston, South Carolina, in 1989. wSomething like Hugo or Andrew you never forget? she said. eYou always have the pain in the background, but ifs going to make me stronger? Deroian counseled UM faculty and staff at the Coral Gables and medical school campuses. She held erapll sessions which were used to discuss the experiences involved in surviving a major catastrophe. Dr. Raquel Cohen, a UM psychiatry professor, specializes in mending the psy- ches of disaster victims. For 20 years she has studied the effects of natural disasters on the mental health of victims. According to Cohenj'lt will take at least a year for people to get over what Hurricane Andrew has done to them. Cohen, together with others in the UM psychiatry department, helped prepare mental health care workers for what they were to face in counseling hurricane vic- tims. An increase in child abuse, spouse abuse, drug and alcohol abuse and dGPIESe 3103 were expected to result from the situa- tions created by Andrew. Dr. George Woedley, who heads a Help and Rehabilitative Services volunteer team, believes the lbreak in, routine is especially hard en adults. -Their privacy has been interrupted. Their jobs have been interrupted. Their family units have been interrupted? he said. Woodley says kids are very resilient and will bounce back, but adults will take much longer to heal. The experts agree that the best read to mental recovery is to get back into a nor- mal routine. That could involve going to The Year In Review The worst natural disaster in US. history Students that expeHenced Andrew's wrath were in need counseling as well.

Itfelt as though we were riding the buildihgf By ROBERT MILLER t started to get interesting around 2 am. We were in the midst of the proverbial ticalm before the storm? It was early Monday, Aug. 24, and Hurricane Andrew was coming. He would be here in a matter of hours. The day before, the city had done its best to evacuate nearly 1 million people from the low-lying areas nearest the coast. People had picked the grocery and convenience stores Clean of every necessity. tIt was said there was a two-hour wait just to get into PublixJ Many had worked all day securing their homes and businesses. Most windows were covered with plywood or were adorned with big duct-tape llXi'ls. For students at the University of Miami, Andrew probably couldnlt have picked a worse time. All the international students had arrived only days before for the start of classes, and Sunday - the day before the storm - was the first day of check-in for all the new students. They were arriving with their parents and all their stuff and were unsure of what they were supposed to do. Should they turn around and try to make it home? Would they be safe here? What was going to happen? That natural freshmen confusion was compounded by the coming hurricane. But the University had a plan. After all, they donlt call us the Hurricanes for nothing. Each dorm held meetings before dinner and the resident assistants explained that the University was an official shelter and that everyone would be safe and welcome on campus. We were told to stay in our rooms as much as possible until the storm began to really blow. At that point we would be moved out into the hallways until it was all Robert Miller, a senior broadcastjournalism and English literature major at the University ofMiami, is the editor of the 1993 Ibis yearbook and the former editor in chief of The Miami Hurricane. 60 over. All that was left to do now was wait. Some were excited; others were scared. THE BALM Everyone that lived on the east side of US. Highway 1 was supposed to have taken shelter on higher ground - they lived in the evacuation zone. The UM campus was on the very edge of that area with about two miles of residential neighborhoods between us and Biscayne Bay - and Hurricane Andrew. As I stood looking out the window of my dorm room on the fifth floor, I watched the streets empty and traffic on US. 1 disap- pear. The traffic lights changed from green to yellow to red in an eerie silence. Never before had I seen Miami so dark and quiet. I opened the window. It was very warm. Only a light breeze was blowing. A soda can could be heard rolling down US. 1. At that moment it was hard to imagine that a killer storm was headed directly our way. UINDFALI. But, an hour later the situation had changed considerably. It was raining and the wind was now blowing hard. tNeedless to say, I had shut my window by this timeJ Lightning and brilliant green explosions twe were told later they were electrical transformers breaking apartl lit up the sky. It reminded me of CNle video of the skies over Baghdad on the first night of the Persian Gulf War. I watched as the lights began to go out in sections of the city. Soon, the RAs were banging on doors asking everyone to evacuate into the hall- way, but I really didnlt want to leave the window. I wanted to watch this. Being from Midwest, I had never experienced anything like a hurricane, except a tornado tonce when I was sevenl. I have always been fas- cinated by thunderstorms and this was going to be the granddaddy of all thunderstorms. But I grabbed a pillow and a blanket and my walkman and took a place on the floor The Year In Review with everyone else. The radio was now my window, and I listened close to several sta- tions, flipping the dial often. I canlt say that I was scared exactly, just concerned - and a little excited. This was going to be something to write home about. I listened to Bob Sheets give reports from the National Hurricane Center, which is located right across the highway from the University. Sometime around 4 am. Andrewls eye wall began to pass very close to the UM campus. It was then that the Hurricane Center reported a gust of 164-miles-per-hour that blew the radar dome off the top of their building. It landed in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn next door. At that moment, those scientists became just as blind, and probably as confused, as the rest of us. THE STORM I was sitting near the fire-escape door. I eyed it nervously as the wind howled through those stairs and the door banged and water trickled in underneath. The entire building was swaying and shaking in the wind. It felt as though we were riding the building. Outside, amid Andrewls moaning and wailing, I could here things tearing and crashing. Windows shattered on the floors above us. I was no longer very excited about any of this. For me, the worst part was not being able to see what was happening. You could only imagine. On the radio, I heard weatherman Brian Norcross say, tlThere are people dying in this city tonight? He said it quite matter-of-fac- ulty. People were calling the station on their cellular phones - which somehow continued to work throughout the storm - crying and scared. They were describing how their homes were falling apart around them, and Norcross was trying to help as best he could. I looked around my hallway and noticed the guy next to me was asleep. He was actu- ally snoring. I think he may have been the only per- son in the entire county that slept at all that night. THE DAY AFTER The next morning we all looked around at what Andrew had wrought. llShreddedll was the adjective Perhaps the only good thing to come of this storm is the fact that professors have been asked not to give cumulative final exams at the end of the semester because of the delay. No finals! that came to my mind. It looked like someone had put South Florida into a blender. tCome to think of it, thatls kind of what a hurricane is like, with its circular windsJ On campus, our five-year campus beautification project was undone in just a few hours. Enormous ficus trees and giant royal palms had been ripped clean out of the ground, roots and all. Our tropical garden was gone. The Ponce Building, across the street from Mark Light Stadium, on the Coral Gables campus was almost totally destroyed. It will have to be completely rebuilt on the inside. llWe went over there first thing in the morning after the storm. There was a photocopier in the street? said Victor Atherton, Vice president for Facilities Administration. All but one building on cam- pus was without power and water. Our phones worked, though. All told, the Coral Gables campus had 800 windows blown out, 35 roofs damaged and over 1,000 trees lost. Damage esti- mates range from $1 l-15 million. But we were lucky. Andrew left a 20-mile-wide path of almost complete destruc- tion that begins only five miles south of the University. Many UM students, profes- sors and administrators live in that area of South Dade hit hardest by the storm. Over 70 students and 419 employees were left homeless and requested housing aid from the University. Because of this, the administration decided to postpone Classes for nearly three weeks to give repair crews time to clean things up and give Dade residents time to put their lives back in some kind of order. Classes finally began Sept. 14. We will attend classes right up until Dec. 18. A STORM WARNING For me, a future journalist who someday hopes to be sent to places like Beirut, Andrew was an experience I will always remember. And, I have to confess that ever since Ilve been in Miami some part of me has kind of hoped that a hurricane would S. history come our way, just so I could see what it was like. I realize now that what they say is true - you have to be careful what you wish for. at may come trueJ I know better now. It is hard to imagine the force required to destroy a home or an entire air force base. The pictures on television do not convey that power. You have to see it to believe it. But I donlt really need to see it again, and I hope that I do not. 61 September 5, 1992 A N ight to Remember By KEVIN BROCKWAY hey played a football game Saturday evening, Sept. 6, but the minds of several University of Miami football players were else- where - far beyond the cornfields of Iowa where they were supposed to be playing. For players like Michael Barrow, there were more important things to worry about. Barrowis home and family were still in dev- astated Miami. ltIt was so hard to concentrate? Barrow said, ttwith everything that was going on? Less than two weeks after Hurricane Andrew ravaged South Florida, destroying Barrowis hometown of Homestead, Miami traveled to Iowa City and defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 24-7 in front of a prime-time net- work television audience. In the process, 62 they provided a brief glimmer of hope for a community struggling with everyday life. ttWe know we mean a lot to South Florida? Head Coach Dennis Erickson said. IIWe wanted to provide a rallying point to the community? Ericksonis Cutler Ridge home was destroyed by Andrew. Barrow also returned to Homestead to find his house destroyed. ltMy mother was standing in the front yard crying? Barrow said. III wanted to be strong. I held her in my arms and told her that I loved her very much? Miami lost three double session prac- tices due to the post-Hurricane chaos. The practice field was littered with branches and debris. Several of the pine trees that used to shade the north end of the field were knocked down. Athletic Director Dave Maggard and Erickson considered canceling the. game The Year In Review J.C.

They were a football team practicing in a baseball facility, which didnit make the 10- day stay any easier. Erickson discussed the teams lack of intensity after the second practice in Vero Beach. ltI know a lot has happened? Erickson said, tlbut if we played Iowa tomorrow, we would get beat? Hurricane Andrew reflected the tumul- tuous off-season the Hurricane football pro- gram encountered. Two alumni, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shane Curry and Philadelphia Eagles defensive line- man Jerome Brown, passed away during the off-season. Curry was shot by a 16-year old following an argument at a Cincinnati night club. Brown and his nephew were killed in a car accident in his hometown of Brookdale, Fla. Adding to the teamis misfortune, two current UM players, senior receiver Lamar Thomas and junior running back J ason Marucci, were indicted by a federal grand jury Aug. 21 for receiving fraudulent financial aid. The Pell Grant fraud case implicated to 40 former and current players. Thomas and Marucci missed an initial deadline to enter a pre-trial diversion program and were not allowed to practice. Both players entered the program the day before the game and flew to Iowa later that night with Maggard. Thomas, the Hurricanes leading receiver and spiritual leader, was disheartened by the scandal. -All your life you try to be a good kid and do whatis right and something like this happens? Thomas said. Miami entered the game as the pre-season number one team in the country, with an 18-game winning streak. Iowa was ranked 23rd following a 24-14 loss to North Carolina State in the Kickoff Classic. From the opening kickoff, Miami showed few signs of being flustered by the cruel fury of its namesake. It was a more poised team than the pre-season No. 1 team who lost to 16th-ranked BYU 28-21 to open the season in 1990. Senior Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Gino Torretta was exceptionally sharp, completing 31 of 51 passes for 433 yards. He led a drive that ended with a 27-yard field goal by Dane Prewitt and later connected with fellow Heisman hopeful Kevin Williams on a 7- yard touchdown pass to give Miami a 10-01ead. A two-yard touchdown plunge by Larry J ones in the third quarter put the game out of reach at 17-0. The defense, ' which had eight starters returning from last season, continued to excel. Barrow had 10 tackles. Junior Rusty Medearis had six tackles tthree for a lossi and a sack. There were still some prob- lems, however. Miami gained few yards rushing and an inexperi- enced offensive line, with guard Rudy Barber as the only returning starter, had difficulty blocking the run. But Erickson was pleased with the overall performance. -Going through everything we went through, and under the circumstances, I donit know of many teams who could do what we did today? Erickson said. -Iim real proud of what they did? So was South Florida. J.C.

Itls just tremen- dousfi UM administrators and planners have been working on the plan itself since 1985.

Peruyera said. llCertain changes will occur, which is normal. Itls not a product, itis a process. So we spend a lot of time studying the process to make sure the plan was reactive, or could react rather, to different scenarios?

All of a sudden, the stadium lights turned off. It was an inauspicious omen for a team that had just come within a foot of breaking Miamiis 47-game home winning streak. Miami entered the game a 21-point favorite against the unranked Arizona Wildcats. They won t8-71 only because a Stephen McLaughlin 51-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right when time expired. In the process, the Hurricanes lost their No. 1 ranking in both the Associated Press and CNNlUSA Today polls to the University of Washington. More importantly, they lost All- America candida te defensive lineman Rusty Medearis for the season. And with games against Florida State University and Penn State University in the next two weeks, some wondered if Miami lost the confidence of their fans. -I feel very lucky? said senior receiver Horace Copeland, who caught a career-high nine passes for 139-yards. -It was like a wake up call.

Freshman place-kicker Dane Prewitt 72 The Year In Review missed field goals of 28 and 37-yards. Punt returner Kevin Williams could not make the big-play return all afternoon. But, the Miami defense provided some much needed offense when Medearis tackled tailback Chuck Levy in the end zone for a safety and a 2-0 lead. Arizona executed a ball-control game plan. Levy tnine rushes 45 yardsl and tail- back Ontiwaun Carter said 09 rushes 77 i yardsl were catalysts for the Arizona offense, which burned time off the clock and kept the Miami offense on the bench. And when UA fullback Billy J ohnson rumbled in from nine yards in the second quarter Arizona lead 7-2. They held the lead with some aggressive defense of their own. Arizona didnlt play scared. They amassed 151 yards on 14 penal- ties, many of which were personal fouls. And both teams nearly brawled following the pre- game coin toss. 4They walked up to us, and were not going to back down to anybody? Levy said. -We may be the lowly Arizona Wildcats, but the last time I checked superman wore red and blue just like we do? -Ninety five percent of the teams who come down here say theylre just going to show up? Arizona Coach Dick Tomey said. -We came down here to win and were damned disappointed we didnltfl Only a little-known third string tight end named Deitrich Clausell saved Miami from doom. Clausell found an open spot in the end zone and Torretta tossed a two-yard floater which he caught for the go-ahead touch- down. It was Clausellls first career reception and it came at an opportune moment. II! Year II Review Miami failed on a two-point conversion following the touchdown, however. Arizona mounted a late fourth-quarter drive. Tomey made conservative play-calls, making sure his team was in just good enough field position for a chance for a last- second field goal. McLaughlin missed a field goal late in the fourth quarter the previous week when Arizona tied Oregon State 14-14. -I hit a good ball? McLaughlin said. -It looked like it was going to go through the uprights, they all do. But it just sailed right? -When guys decide to be kickers they know all about those opportunities?

Advancing the University By lYlllIETTE MALINGEB ith the cost of an educa- tion nearing $20 000 a year, it may seem to many University of Miami students that this University must have all the money it could possibly want. The fact is, tuition makes up just 29 percent of the Universityls operating budget. Last year, according to UMis Annual Report, the Universityls faculty generated $158.6 million in research grants and funding - almost the same amount that was raised by tuition. Money received from patient care bills at UM,s J ackson Memorial Hospital comprise another 26 percent of the budget. The rest of the money comes from gifts to the University. These funds allow UM to afford such luxuries as the J ames. L.

Fundraising is obviously a very impor- tant part of University business, especially since UM is a private school and does not receive much money from the state. The Campaign for the University, led by UM President Edward T. Foote II and Burger King founder J ames McLamore, raised $517.5 million in five years, including 45 new endowed chairs, 29 new building projects and $75 million added to the Universityis endow- ment. This is the third most successful higher education campaign in United States history. ttMost all of the money was targeted for a specific use by the donor? Lieberman said. tiOf these the, Names L. Knight1 Physics Building is the most visible. There were also a number of endowed chairs? Younger than most private schools, the Universityls endowment is smaller, funding only 3.1 percent of educational and general expenses. ltEndowments of better-known research universities pro- vide at least triple the level of our endowment funding? Lieberman wrote in the 1992 Annual Report. II! Year In Review Thanks to shrewd investment and increased fundraising efforts, the endowment nearly doubled from $112 to $206 million over the last five years, according to Lieberman. Fifty-two percent of that was made up of donated gifts. All of this fundraising is coordinated by the division of University Advancement. The tidevelopmenf group includes many areas, including the departments of University Relations, Corporate and Foundation Relations, Alumni Relations, Annual Giving, Major Gifts, the Citizens Board and Development Research. Each of these offices target different people and different areas but they share a common goal - to raise aware- ness of, and money for, the University. 11We are persistent and we work hard to identify new prospective donors and invite them to learn about the University? Lieberman said. University of Miami is a fairly young university, not quite 70 years old, and has about 100,000 alumni. Presently, only about 16 percent of the alumni contribute funds, which is a far lower percentage than that of other comparable private schools - some- thing the University Advancement people are working very hard to Change. Things like the new and improved alumni magazine, Miami, and the expanded Homecoming Reunions are part of that effort which has been expanded under the leadership of Vice President for University Advancement Roy Nirschel. But fundraising can be a difficult task. The depressed economy, the large num- ber of charitable organizations trying to raise funds and Hurricane Andrew have made the job even harder. tlThe obstacles include Changes in tax laws? Lieberman said. ttThere used to be tremendous benefits in giving stocks and real estate. In 1986, the tax laws changed to dis- courage this. The economic environment is also a huge factor? Ron Fraser, who was head coach of the Hurricane baseball team for 30 years, is working on a campaign to raise money for the College of Arts and Sciences and the Otto G. Richter Library. Tanya Gilmore 0The University wanted me to be a PR kind of guy, like an ambassador? Fraser said.

We have the teachers and the faculty, but we donit have the stadium? This campaign, called the Cornerstone Campaign, has an overall goal of $50 mil- lion; $25 million for the library, $25 million for Arts and Sciences. The Campaign is sup- posed to last three years. It began last year. Fraser estimated the total amount raised by late February to be around $10 million. Some of this money was raised through the annual fund callings. When looking back over his time at the University, Fraser said that UM has grown and become much stronger academically. The Year III BBViBW However, its role in the community has expanded, and the community has really come to depend on the University. He thinks the community will always rally around UM. tTUMl has a magical name in this com- munity? Fraser said. According to Elinor Arrabal, director of Annual Giving, the University raised over $35 million in gifts and $26 million in pledges last year. Annual Giving solicits funds in basically two ways: through a phone campaign soliciting alumni and through spe- cial programs targeting possible large donors. The Alumni House compiles informa- tion on all UM graduates, their giving histo- ry, their job and salary, family life, etc., in hopes of being able to solicit money. UM students and volunteers call alumni from the phone bank at the Alumni House throughout the year. These funds, according to Arrabal, usually go to scholarships and small equipment needed by the departments and schools. Legacy 93, the senior class gift fund, is a new addition to UMis fundraising pro- grams. This program, however, is unique in that it targets graduating seniors. The object is to collect money for an endowed scholarship from each graduating class that will build up over time. The class will be asked to continue con- tributing to the fund until enough capital is raised, and enough interest on the fund has accumulated, to create a full-tuition scholar- ship or any other gift the class wants to make. ' Marlen Mieres, assistant director of Special Projects, is the coordinator of the Legacy program. 01 see iLegaeyl becoming a completely student-driven project? Mieres said. As the program gets started, the goal is to increase awareness about and participation in the program. Christine Tripp, is the Legacy i93 chairperson. She hopes that stu- dents will see this as an opportunity to unite the class. 01 think that this can help the Classes stay in contact? Tripp said. ttAs the interest iaccumulating from the endowmentl starts to spin off, I think people will get excited about it? The Legacy campaign began last year, and raised over $2,000, with a seven percent participation rate. This year they want to raise $6,000 and have a 20 percent participa- tion rate. By late February, Mieres said their goal had nearly been reached. 75 A COMPILATION OF THE MAJOR EVENTS 0F EARLY FALL Senl.-llcl. 1992 Headlines ' t h.t.

Marching Season 'My experiences ill the hand have been some 0' the hBSI 0' my BOIIBQB career' By EANNE SGIBELLI at kind of geek joins a college marching band, anyway? I asked myself this question many times before coming to the University of Miami. High school band, for me, was an easy way to get out of the arts requirements placed upon unfortunate students in the public school system in New York. My exposure to any college marching band was limited to the one-second shots of the band that the networks use for filler when they run out of things for the commentators to say during football games. So, I must admit that I entered the band room on my first day of Orientation with more than a few questions and many reservations. However, six hours later, I left the band room with all my questions answered and my reservations forgotten. What I found in that room was 150 spir- ited, enthusiastic and talented band members that I couldnlt wait to be a part of. My experiences in the band have been some of the best of my college career. Sure, Iive had to make lots of sacrifices, but to me, they were all worth it. I canit lie, being an active member of the band is a huge time commitment, but being with the same people day after day, for hours each day, results in some of the best friendships of a lifetime. During football season, especially on home game weekends, band is my life. Many of my friends outside of band donlt understand how I could give up so much of my time to be part of an organization that is hardly recognized by the rest of the student body. They donit understand, but how could they? Half of the time I donlt understand it myself. All I know, is that at the end of the sea- son, when the football team is off to another bowl game, and we are there - all expenses paid - to witness their victory, any sacrifices made during the fall semester are quickly forgotten. The eight-hour practices, the bug bites and the sunburn, the missed trips to the beach that you watched your friends go on, all the Saturday morning cartoons you missed; all of these things are in the past because you are spending a week with all of your friends in New Orleans, or Dallas, or Tampa, or even back in Miami. That is when all of the hard work finally pays off, and you realize how exciting the past semes- ter has truly been. Our band has just finished its second season under the direction of Michael Mann. These past two years have been ones of great Change and growth for the Band of the Hour. I have watched the band increase by almost 50 members since my freshman year, and the talent level of the band has increased from almost forgettable to simply unbeliev- able. Being a third-year member of the Band of the Hour, Iive had many unforgettable experiences in the band. Traveling to Florida State last year was certainly one of them. I can remember riding eight hours on the bus, awakening cramped and tired in Tallahassee, and wondering, ttwhat are we doing here? Every sign in town seemed to be against the Hurricanes and their fans. Everywhere you looked were Seminoles fans. I couldnit find an ally in sight. The suddenly, looming in the horizon was a Holiday Inn with the words, ttWelcome UM Band of the Hour? I thought to myself, ttThank God, at least someone likes us? After the game, all of Tallahassee The Year III REVIEW seemed to be in mourning. FSU fans would look at our colors with contempt, until they realized we were in the band. Suddenly these people werenlt our ene- mies, but our fans. I can remember com- ments like, itWell, we donlt like the Hurricanes, and Ericksonls a jerk, but you guys were greatPI Most of these people were one-time members of the FSU Marching Chiefs, so it seems that the band phenome- J.C.

I know I speak for almost all of the band when I say that if I had to do it all over, I would, without hesitation, join again. Most of the band members stay all four years. Some even stay in band after they graduate. The record is nine years, and more than a few have stayed for five or six. Without a doubt, there is something special about the Band of the Hour that makes seem- ingly normal people willingly spend eight to 15 hours practicing and sweating to prepare for 15 minutes of performance time a week. Whatever it is, it defies explanation. 79 fall 1992 EX 3: s g g $7 $1. wk ' .. be the dif- I . - ference 1n J.C. Ridley ; j . ' A sea of the gamgs : .

Collectively, they represent one of the Hurricanes biggest advantages at home. They are the crowd - the fans. Orange, white and green fanatics that get just as hot and sweaty as the team. They are students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni and friends, but they are all lovers of great college football and followers of one of the all-time great gridiron dynasties. Miami has won 51 consecutive games at the Orange Bowl dating back to the first game of the 1985 season, when they lost at home to the University of Florida Gators. stI think one of the reasons why we have such a home field advan- tage? University of Miami head . coach Dennis Erickson said. 315 that we have the best college football fans in the country? For every home game, hundreds of students converge upon the University Metrorail station in an orange and green mass, pile into a train and voyage to the Orange Bowl in search of yet another Hurricane vic- tory. Many others pack up the car, loaded full with soda, beer and snacks and engage in tailgating at the OB. University of Miami fans are in a class of their own. They are known to be rowdier than most, but not without good rea- son. Students know they have a team to be proud of; one that is worth cheering for. But some students are more spirited than others and some games are bigger than others. 31 go to all the games, watch all the games, go nuts at all the games? freshman J osh Cohen said. 31f the Hurricanes have a bad day, thenI James Gibson Many students pack up the car, loaded full with soda, beer and snacks and engage in tailgating at the Orange Bowl. have a bad day? The annual UM-FSU ttGame of the Century3 always brings out the big crowds and the most spirit. 31 sat in line all night so I could get an extra ticket for the FSU game. A friend and I played Candyland about sixty times. After a while, we both became very good at it? said one student who was lucky enough to get one of the five hundred guest passes available for that big game. On Oct. 3, the moment of truth had finally arrived. Was Florida Stateis ttWide Rightb a fluke last year? Or were the Seminoles really destined to lose yet another close one to the Hurricanes? The score was about to be settled, and 77,338 fans were ready and waiting to see the games outcome. And when FSU place-kicker Dan Morwey shanked a 39-yard field goal attempt, that would have tied the game, as time expired, the collective euphoria could be felt throughout the stadium. ttWe all had our chests painted orange and green? freshman David Freilich said. the were all in a row. After the kick missed, one of the fans started tacklling everyone. Everyone was hugging one another? Hurricane linebacker Michael Barrow explains how the players get motivated for big games like against state-rival FSU. lsItls a turf thing? Barrow said. slIt,s like a bunch of people com- ing on your turf and trying to kick over your garbage cans. Youire playing in front of people you know and you want to impress them. 3 Even though UM was not considered to be the home team when it played Nebraska last year in the Orange Bowl, it surely had a home field advantage because of the fans that were there to support them. But was it really the fans that gave the Hurricanes the edge? 31 think that our fans intimidate other teams. I know that we have a great football team, but our fans stand alone? said Sam Secrest, who went to every home game this season. ttAfter you make the first big play? Barrow said, tland you hear the roar of the crowd, it just keeps you going. You,re going to make better plays then you will when youire on the road? Like Secrest, many students never miss the chance to see the Hurricanes play, even when the game is not in the Orange Bowl. The fact that UM has an outstanding record encourages people to display team spirit. Unfortunately, this is also the reason that so many other teams fans dislike Hurricane fans. Hurricane fans have been called rude and obnoxious, yet, even these comments fail to deter UM students from being outrageous at football games. ltWe have a team that we can be proud of, and we just like to flaunt it a lot. Other teams donlt have what we do. I think that itis fit- ting that the best team has the best fans, too? said J oanna Blakely. the have a right to be loud because weive worked hard and earned it? 82 The Year In Review Best Dressed Fans urricanes wear their an green With pride iami Hurricane clothing and para- phernalia of all kinds are some of the most popular sporting apparel across the country and around the world.

Ridley In Tallahassee last year, UM fullback Stephen McGuire kept the Hurricanes alive. In this year's Game of the Century, coming off an injury, he was not as effective. Miami at No. 2. This year was also a battle of unbeatens. Miami 6-01 was the number two team in the nation, and the Visiting Seminoles t4-01 were ranked third. In each game, the visiting team scored an early touchdown, stunning and silencing the home crowd. In Tallahassee last year, the Hurricanes took the ball right down the field on their opening drive for a touchdown, a drive dominated by UM fullback Stephen McGuire. This year, FSU freshman wide receiver Tamarick Vanover, who Miami lost in a recruiting battle to the Seminoles, returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a Florida State touchdown. Both games then settled into tense defensive struggles. Mostly field goals were exchanged. After being hindered all day, Miami found itself down 16-10 midway through the fourth quarter in each of the games. Senior defensive lineman made sure the game would not get out of hand. Replacing injured Rusty Medearis at defensive end, Kevin Patrick sacked scrambling FSU quarterback Charlie Ward four times and forced a fumble. Trailing 16-10, the stagnant Miami offense found enough energy for one final drive. Miami tight end Coleman Bell, who made a key third-down over- the-shoulder catch last season in Tallahassee, once again made a key eight-yard reception on third down to keep the Miami drive alive. That set up a dramatic 33-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Gino Torretta to receiver Lamar Thomas. Once again, Florida State staged a desperation comeback drive in the final minutes, moving the ball into field goal range. Once again, they came up short. Consider this: if FSU punt returner Corey Sawyer had not fielded a Paul Snyder punt at the one yard line and get tackled in the end zone for a safety, the Seminoles would have trailed 17-16 when driving for the final field goal. 9I should have stayed on the 10 yard line?

In the UM-FSU rivalry, the Seminoles have entered the fourth quarter with a lead The Year In HBViEW 17 times, only to come out with four Victories. What was it that worked again in Miami,s favor?

In head-to head competition, Miami has won 10 of the last 13 games against FSU, dating back to 1980. The Hurricanes have taken seven of the last eight games. Many of these victories contributed to the four national titles Miami has won since 1983. Likewise, the losses have spoiled several national championship dreams for Florida State.

The University is estimated to have sold an all-time high $91 million dollars in con- tractual arrange- ments dur- ing the cur- rent fiscal period, June 1, 1992, through Feb. 1993. Why are Hurricane items selling like crazy? 11People like the colors, the personality 98 of the mascot, and with the popularity of the athletic program, especially the football team and its ranking, that adds to the salabilityfi Licensing Manager Chuck Canfield said. John Routh, a.k.a. Sebastian the Ibis and the Miami Maniac, is one of the main reasons why the logo is a hot commodity. ttOnce the char- acters became recog- nized, more stuff sold?

Miami is believed to be ranked among the top five independent universities in terms of merchandising sales along with Georgetown, Duke, Alabama and Michigan. These schools are consid- ered independent because they do their own licensing. The top selling name and logo is Notre Dame - the Irish do their own internal licensing through Champion products in Rochester, NY. No sales figures were available, however. Miami receives a six percent out based The Year In Review on the manufacturers retail price every quar- ter. During the last fiscal period, June 1, 1991, through May 31, 1992, the UM licensees sold, what was at the time a new high, $67 million dollars. The University collect- .liigiiiizn. ed more than $2 million for the name and logo last year. That money was split up between athletic scholarships and the general fund of the university - almost a 50150 split. 11We canlt keep Miami stuff in stock? Chris Liepold, an employee at a Champs store in Chicago, said. tlEven this far away, Hurricane stuff sells almost as fast as N otre Dame. I wear Miami clothes because they are a team you can really look up to? When a company wants to use the Hurricanes name or logo, a written request is sent to the University asking for permission. If Canfield and his office decide on let- ting that business use the name or logo, a contract is sent out to them for the company and its lawyers to look at, sign and then it is sent back to the school. A one time $75 administrative fee is charged, and after that the six percent cut takes effect. 9We donlt allow our name to be associ- ated with dangerous items or items that could cause a potential problem like food items?

Many of Coach J ohnsonis players were now seniors and they were worried the team was losing its take-no-prisoners attitude. They wanted to make a statement. They started at mid-field during the pre- game warm-ups. There, they met the UT players with a wall of four-letter words and deadly looks. 99 Miami has fans as far away as these guys in Southern California. Texas got the ball first, but Miamils defense - led by Maryland - ate them alive. And after every play, a Hurricane was in a Longhorn face with a string of words and a little body language. They danced with wild pelvic thrusts and pointed fingers. Wide receiver Randal Hill, after scoring one touchdown, ran off the field and up into the tunnel to perform his version of a cowboy strut. The referees called it unsportsmanlike, and UM re-wrote the Cotton Bowl record book for penalties. Texas never got into the end zone, and UM left with a 46-3 rout. Once again, however, the media took great pleasure in calling Miami names. And this time the NCAA felt the need to get involved. The llMiami Rulesh were enacted soon after, giving stiffer penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and anything Hurricane-esque. N0 respect They hate us. Who are lltheyii? Everybody. Sportswriters and broadcasters, other teams and fans, referees and NCAA officials - anyone that has any interest in college football. It shows up in little ways and more obvious ones: I Watch the introductions to all the sports shows on the net- works or ESPN and CNN. When they show clips of college football, its always teams like Notre Dame or Nebraska, never Miami, even though UM has dominated the sport for the last 10 years. I ttYou look like a nice person? one Alabama fan said to some- one on Bourbon Street wearing orange and green before the Sugar Bowl. llWelve never seen Miami fans that weren,t hoodlums? This might be a response to the many inner-City gangs that use UMls J.C. Ridley orange and green as their colors, further tar- nishing Miamils poor image. A teenager in Georgia was shot and killed last year for wearing a Miami T-shirt. I Read the sports pages: After UM played its worst game in seven years in the Sugar Bowl against a well-prepared Alabama team, The Sporting News wrote in their game story, ttTo watch Alabama execute a beautifully conceived game plan and humble Miami as no team has in seven years was enthralling? Is this sup- posed to be objective journalism? . I Other teams fans ask why Miami is so bad-mannered. ltThatls not how we were taught to play the game? they say. Even though just as many Fightinl Irish, Seminoles, Nittany Lions and Longhorns can be seen taunting and dancing on any given Saturday in November. So, we are saddled with a reputation that is both deserved and unfair. But, during the last two seasons, Dennis Ericksonls Hurricanes have been among the best-behaved teams on the field. Miami had very few unsportsmanlike penalties during the 1992 cam- paign. Talk was at a minimum. The only real fight Miami took part in was against a San Diego State team that seems to be trying to take away UMis bad-boy image. They started the bench-clearing brawl. But the entire nation seemed to rejoice over Miamils defeat at the hands of the Crimson Tide, J an. 1, 1993. It was our llcomeup- pancefl according to Sports Illustrated. So be it. As the cliche goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. But perhaps now lltheyil will leave us alone for awhile. And we can just enjoy the finest college football team in the country.

This election was taken to MTV, to the streets and public halls in other words, to the people - and to young people especially. And, in the end, the young people had a major role in changing the leadership in the White House for the first time in 12 years. Democratic Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton received the majority of the popular vote and took home an overwhelming number of elec- toral votes to become the next president of the United States. He defeated incumbent republican president George Bush and inde- pendent candidatelbillionaire Ross Perot in one of the wildest campaigns in US. history. At one time completely discounted because of scandals involving an alleged extra-marital affair and anti-war protests in college, Clinton took the lead in the polls after the democratic national convention and held onto that lead throughout the rest of the campaign. 81 am very excited about it? senior Charlotte Shoemaker, a member of UMis College Democrats, said. theWe seen a change in the way people think about things. We need a change in leadership? Other students were not so happy, how- ever. tlIt is really a sad day in American histo- ry? Jamie Hilson, treasurer of College Republicans, said. Bush, who was at one time the most popular US. president in history, fell Victim to a perceived foreign policy focus and the poor economy. Clintonls message of change was warmly received by the voters. Perot did have a significant impact on the race, if not the outcome. It was he that first took the campaign ttto the people? In an effort to reach the widest-possible audience, town-hall debates were held and voters who had yet to decide who they want- ed as president got to ask the candidates their own questions. The candidates appeared on talk-shows like Arsenio Hall and Larry King. College students, in the 18-24 age bracket, typically have the lowest voter tum- Vout rates in the nation. In an attempt to cor- 114 rect this, campaigns like Rock the Vote attempted to pull in the college vote. Rock stars like U2 and Marky Mark did public ser- vice announcements, urging the youth to vote. Concerts tours, like Lollapalooza 1992 and Guns ni Roses, had voter registration booths at the shows. Since 1972, when the voting age dropped to 18, the number of 18-2l-year- olds turning out to vote has steadily decreased. According to the Census Bureau, in 1972, 58 percent of 18-21-year-olds regis- tered to vote, and 46 percent went to the polls. But in 1988, only 45 percent of eligi- ble young voters registered and just 33 per- cent voted. Mike Dolan, political field director for Rock The Vote estimated that the group signed up 1 million young voters. ltWe had some seriously trained, black- belt student organizers and volunteers across the country? Dolan said. ttThey were in the trenches With their clipboards and buttons. Theyid be right there at concerts? During the voter registration drive on the University of Miami campus, UM stu- dents registered 856 students to vote. Of these, 291 were Democrats, 222 Republicans, 283 no party affiliation, 59 Independents and one Libertarian. Neil Pinney, a political science professor at UM, said many people are not voting straight party tickets anymore. llIssues such as the economy, environ- ment and social welfare programs are of more concern to voters than specific parties? Pinney said. tllndependent voters have turned to lsplit-ticket voting? While they may vote Republican on one issue, they may vote Democrat on another?

Hurricane File Photo BUSH l QUAYLE 30 4V $00 9 5 :6: F Bushls brilliance will work at home By JASON P. MAXWELL As we prepare to enter the work force within the next cou- ple of years, most of us are concerned about future job prospects in which we can apply our $100,000 education. Most of us want to be able to pursue the American Dream. Each of us wants to have the opportunity to succeed. Opportunity is exactly what George Bush wants to extend to the youth of this nation. I want to dispel the popular fallacy that the Republican party seeks to exclude people. This could not be further from the truth. Republicans want all people to prosper and grow; be they black, Hispanic, white, or others. Republicans will not make any guarantees of easy success, but they do want equality of opportunity. In the words of J ack Kemp, itRepublicans define compas- sion not by the number of people who receive some kind of government aid, but rather by the number of people who no longer need it? Bush is providing opportunity for college students by proposing the largest one-year increase in the Pell Grants - 22 percent. The presidentis Agenda for American Renewal calls for substantial funding for environmental activities, including electing the Environmental Protection Agency to cabinet status. Bush proposed the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1990, which are the most protective clean air laws in the world. Also, Bush more than doubled funding for wetlands and added 7.9 million acres to the national parks and reserves. Furthermore, Bush has the clout around the globe to UM students got politically aware on the University Center Rock Oct. 26-30, as sup- porters of all three candidates handed out pamphlets and buttons and debated the merits of Bush, Clinton and Perot. 116 encourage responsible global policies toward the environment, but Bill Clinton is unknown to foreign leaders and must still earn respect. Lastly, the president is responsible for busting trade barri- ers all over the world. Over 8 million workers owe their jobs to international trade, a 33 percent increase since 1988. Fellow Hurricanes, please vote for Bush and allow the president to use the same brilliance in domestic policy that he has demonstrated in foreign policy. Jason P.

The Year In Review CLINTON l GORE PEBOT l STOBKDALE Clintonls Changes favor the ma j ority By ANNMABIE GALLIONE Some of you may still be wondering why Bill Clinton and Al Gore deserve your vote on Nov. 3. I will not attempt to spin facts that Democrats would like you to believe, but rather will present you with an honest account of why this long-time undecided came to appreciate Clinton and his policies. Many Republicans, as well as independents, join me in the belief that the Clintoanore ticket is llPutting People First For A Change? But it is more than just change that has attracted people from all walks of life. Clinton cares, and this characteristic runs throughout his proposed policies. At the same time, he possesses the intelligence that con- demns radicalism and favors compromise and unity. Some call this iiwaffling on the issues? but is understandable that the con- cept is hard to grasp for those who have neglected to try it. His approach to environmental policy emphasizes provid- ing incentives for businesses that respect the earth and its resources. Penalizing business, although sometimes necessary, is ineffective and creates further tension, whereas incentives ben- efit both sides. Clinton has solutions that are far more creative and feasible than any other candidate. He has promoted the establishment of a National Service Trust Fund that would enable all who desire to go to college to do so - with the stipulation that they reciprocate in the form of service to the community or through a percentage of their incomes. He has a plan for financing his more crucial plans too. This plan is what distinguishes 1992 from 1988, and Clinton from his opponents. It is also what offers the most pro- ductive change for the United States. Take time over this weekend to examine the alternatives available to you. I believe you will conclude the same as I - Clinton and Gore will best serve our needs in these trying times. Annmarie Gallione is a senior majoring in political sci- ence. Perofs policies make no room for debts By PATRICK PAMTTA In this unusual election year, we have been bombarded with information about the presidential candidates - who they are, what their families are like and where they stand on important issues. Bush criticizes Clinton about his character. Clinton faults Bush for his Ittrickle-downii economics. Bush stands for family values. Clinton supports a womanls right to choose. In reality, there are only two things that these candi- dates really represent - the Republican and the Democratic parties. Independent candidate Ross Perot is not running for president on a party ticket. He had no party convention to attend. He has no official organization backing his candida- cy. Yet his name appears on the ballot in all 50 states - not because he is a professional politician, but because the peo- ple of this country want a leader who represents them, not a political party. I donit believe political parties are necessarily evil things. However, over the years their purpose and goals have changed. It is ridiculous that a bill can be introduced into Congress and have the support of both parties, but end up vetoed by our Republican president just because it wasnit a Republican creation. He has concerned himself with the issues that will affect the people of this nation, not with the trivial concerns that George Bush and Bill Clinton believe will get them elected. What concerns you more - that Clinton smoked pot in col- lege or that Perot has a plan to fix and strengthen the econo- my so that you will have a job when you graduate? Ross Perot has no loyalties to any parties. He owes no favors to any lobbyists or to any parties. He is supporting his campaign with his own money. I want a president of action - someone who will work hard to improve my country and my Chances of succeeding in it. I Want some one who cares about the youth of this country. It is time for a change in government, not just for a changeis sake, but for our sake. Patrick Penetta is a senior majoring in architecture.

A parade, a scavenger hunt on Rollerblades and a fireworks display were just a few of the events that made Homecoming lt92 - Under the Big Top - look like a circus. In addition, the Homecoming Executive Committee blew up another boat on Lake Osceola, a living legend sang on campus and the University of Miami turned into a sovereign country and crowned a king and queen.

Faculty and students also participated in a blood drive, collecting over 800 pints of blood. According to Braman, non- Greek organizations have objected to the emphasis on numbers in the past. Their small size and lack of funds has lead to low turnout rates. Butler said that Homecoming, historically, has been a strong greek event, but that everyone was always welcome.

Many of the groups were involved in post Hurricane Andrew clean-up activities. However, rain put a damper on the outdoor activi- ties. Jens Brewer, president of Earth Alert, was the leader of a group going to Mattheson-Hammock State Park for a beach clean-up. Since Hurricane Andrew, a lot of the garbage from the ocean had washed up on shore. The volunteers were trying to pick up the scat- tered garbage, helping the endangered mangroves grow. Rain cut the day short, however. ltThere were lots of people who were really surprised at the amount of garbage there. So, from an education stand-point, it was good? Brewer said. ltThey saw the results of illegal dumping and pollution. But, the fact is, we didnit get a lot done Idue to the rainl? The day is an official event of Homecoming. Participation points are given to the organiza- tions and m included th- in their mg Homecoming totals. A volunteer, by definition, is some- one who performs a service willing and without pay. Some, however, feel that Hurricanes Help the Hometown is a type of forced volunteering, because the teams must par- ticipate in order to win Homecoming. ttThe point system trivializes the idea of volunteering, but it does get people out to work who would not necessarily be there? Brewer added. Braman, however, disagrees. He said that most groups sent well over the num- ber of people required. - LYNETTE MALINGER MISS UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI Sophomore Megan Welch said she wants to be Miss America. After winning the Miss University of Miami Scholarship Pageant on Nov. 7 she is well on her way. She is now eligible for the Miss Florida competition, which is the next step toward the Miss America pageant til would like to be Miss Florida? Welch said. ttMy ultimate goal is to be Miss America. If you donit reach high, you donit get anywhere? As this years winner, Welch received a scholarship, a trophy and a crown. Some of the expenses will also be paid for her to go to the Miss Florida Pageant. During the talent part of the competition, Welch sang 00 Mio Bambino Carof, an Italian opera, which she sang in Italian, during the talent competition. The rest of the 1992 Homecoming Court included: Cheryl Green, second runner-up; J ulia Wharton, third runner-up; and Michelle Bilbao, forth runner-up. Christina Tangora won the itMiss Congenialityil award. ltWe learned a lot about ourselves. Everyone was really support- ive of each other?

HURRICANE HDWL Bob Dylan headlined a rainy Hurricane Howl Concert on Nov. 8, on the University Center Plaza. Commenting on the weather , the aging folk rocker played 0A Hard Rainis Gonna Fall? as well as other classics, including slAll Along the Watchtowerii and ttTangled Up in Blue? ilThe best portions of the show were the acoustic moments with Dylan and his two best friends, his harmonica and acoustic guitar? Byron Warren, senior, said. Of the nearly 1,000 people at the concert, many were Dylan fans from the community that came out to see a legend perform. ltEverybody had a very positive opinion of the show. Itis exciting to have someone of the stature of Bob Dylan here? Matt Kronsberg, associ- ate chairperson of Hurricane Productions, said. iiGiven the conditions of the show - the extreme weather - I was beyond impressed. He could have left after two songs. The man really worked. Thatis a tribute to why Bob Dylan has the reputation that he does? Mary Karlzen, a local folk-rock talent, opened for Dylan. Karlzen has supported the University in the past by playing at several WVUM t90.5 FMi benefit shows. ttYou donlt have to like Dylan, but you have to go see him? Braman said. ii Heis a legend. Its like having Elvis on campus - you might not like his music, but you have to go see him? - LYNETTE MALINGER Confessing his love for himself to the crowd on the University Center Plaza, Josh Greene won the Mr. University of Miami Pageant, Nov. 9. During the talent competition, Greene sang a self-centered melody of songs he wrote. Greene, representing Eaton Residential College, sang, ttMe, Myself, and 17 Other songs included, ltLost in My Eyele 01 am the World, Forget the Childrenii, and 01 am so Beautiful? ttThe talent competition was the most fun. I really like to per- form? Greene said. llItis fun to get up in front of everybody and have them clap for you? The Mr. UM contest is a search for the most charismatic, talent- ed, and original guy on campus. Those vying for the position were varied; some were musicians, dancers or comedians. During the interview segment, Greene was asked which Disney character he would like to be. He picked Kermit the Frog. tiLetis face it, the guys an amphibian - not exactly the epitome of mankind. He relies on charm and wit to win the ladies hearts? J udges chose four runners-up. First runner-up, Ryan Ruskin, rep- resenting Zeta Beta Tau, played his original score ltEmotion in Motiond on the keyboards and piano. Drew Skinner was named second runner-up with his rendition of tlUp On The Roof by James Taylor. Skinner represented Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Sagee Goldenholz, from Alpha Epsilon Pi, sang ttSheis Got a J.C. Ridley The Year In Review Way? by Billy Joel, and took third place. Pete Stofle, sponsored by Delta Gamma, imi- tated President George Bush and Garth from Wayneis World. He won fourth place. - RHONDA WILSON ORGANIZED CHEER ttMagicii was in the air for this years Organized Cheer.

Yellow Rose won the event for the independent organizations with a routine that included music by Arrested Development, Fushnicks and the ttToys R Us KidiT theme song. ttThe ladies who worked on it were very confident because they knew they did a good job - everything rhymed and worked well together?

The judges attempted to bring a little school spirit to the competition, and make it easier to write songs, by requiring each group to include the Alma Mater in their rou- tine. ttThe whole point of Homecoming is showing spirit, our love of UM? Braman said. tilt was a great way for everyone to learn it tthe Alma Materl. Cooperation and spirit were also cate- gories organizations were judged on. PARADE, PEP RALLY AND BOAT BURNING A three-ring circus marched down Ponce de Leon Boulevard the night of Nov. 13. The parade returned to campus after a brief stint in South Miami, and ttThe Greatest Show on Earth? was one of the more suc- cessful in memory. Zeta Tau Alpha and Kappa Sigma illus- trated the ttUnder the Big Topti theme with a paper mache lion and a pink elephant. This year, fraternities and sororities were teamed up for the float building in an attempt to save money. Cane Commuter Organization decorated a mini-van like a Circus tent and students rode tricycles and bigwheels. TiAn adult trying to get on a tricycle is like us trying to get to school, with the traffic and parking - its kind of ironic? Cari Martinez, freshman commuter said. This year, more groups than ever got involved. Volunteer Services participated in the parade, bringing with them Habitat for Humanity, Earth Alert, AWARE and other volunteer organizations. Eaton Residential College varied the theme from ttUnder the Big Top? to ttUnder the Pig Top? They bought pig noses and filled a pickup truck full of hay. Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos won the float building contest for independent organizations. Felix Lorenzo, an architecture student, designed and built the float. ttEveryone did something in their specialty, everyone could contribute in their own way? Lorenzo said. tTWe had no one in charge, everyone helped each other? Immediately following the parade, attention turned to the University Center Plaza and a pep rally. Yamma Yamma and Zeta Beta Tau lead the UM Band, cheerleaders and Sunsations in the Alma Mater, fight song and other chants. And, following the pep rally, students returned to the banks of Lake Osceola, as they have done for as long as anyone can remem- ber, to participate in the traditional Homecoming candlelight ceremony. As the Band of the Hour played, they sang the Alma Mater and watched as the Homecoming boat was blown up on the lake. ttSpectacular, never ending. There was a good flow? Bobby McGee, 1983 alumni said. Later, the sky over the University of Miami literally exploded. And, despite the rain, one of the largest fireworks displays ever brought to campus lit-up Lake Osceola. - LYNETTE MALINGER J.C.

Esperenza is not alone. She is one of thousands of adults returning to school. According to the College Press Service, the 1989 Census Bureau indicated 3.3 million college students were 30-years-old or older, and that one out of every five women in college was 35 or older. In another report, the National Center for Education Statistics said 7 million college students, or 43 percent, were 25 or older in 1992. At UM, 1,508 of the 8,584 undergraduates enrolled in the fall 1992 semester were 23 or older. Four-hundred and eighteen of those students were 30 or older. One-third of these students is enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Unlike traditional students, older students have usually inter- rupted their education for job opportunities or marriages. Some of these students, like Tommy Hassler, 31, now juggle house- work with schoolwork and part- time jobs. itYou get your priorities straight? said Hassler, who has managed to maintain a 3.3 grade point average and said he still has time to spend with his 18-month-old daughter and to hold a job. 81 could not get the job I wanted without a college degree.

Itltls better to have older students because they obvi- ously have gone through more experiences and situations so they can add a lot to the class? Diana Roblett, fresh- men, said. The increasing number of non-traditional students who are married and have children prompted Hassler, who is a Student Government commuter north senator, to form Canes With Kids. 11The organization would bring awareness to the stu- dent body of the special needs of non-traditional students and form scholarships to send our kids to Canterbury Preschool?

The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Community CGLBO became an offi- cial student group during the fall semester of 1991. They received funding from the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee for the first time this fall. It has been an event- ful year for the group. Their first steps were tentative. Students and administrators were fearful of gay bashing, but when no incidents occurred, the group began to assert itself and make its presence known. Designed as a iisafe place to talk about the issues of sexuality and sexual orientation? GLBC members help each other deal with iicoming oufi issues and the associated problems. According to J eff Lurie, activity board Chairperson, discussing problems like telling their parents, or roommates and friends, about their sexual orientation helps people gain confidence. iiWe constantly update each other on how we are dealing with being gayJ and that is part of support. We are here for ourselves, as well as the community? The Year III HBViEW clItls a support group? Rosa Verdeja, community development coordinator, said. lsItls a safe environment in which people can share - share their experiences and support each other on those kinds of issues? The group began to get organized in the fall of 1991, after room- mate problems and conflicts arose in the residential colleges. People began getting together to talk about those problems, and the group was informally created. Initially, most students who were beginning to tlcome out of the closetll were referred to J ames Smart, an assistant director in the Department of Residence Halls. He is a faculty member who had already tlcome out? He acted as a go-between for the group to keep any possible trouble-makers away. Later, as GLBC solidified, a network of ltgatekeepersll and tlalliesll was created to protect the group. Students looking to join, contacted the group by speaking with an ally or gatekeeper. These are unteer services, said. llThey are an advocacy group for gay, lesbian and bisexual issues, like Amnesty International is an advocacy group for international civil rights? 11We tell the people at the beginning that we are not a counseling center. Welve trained ourselves to be public speakers on the gay issues? Lurie said. tlI wouldnlt say the main focus of our group is political, because right now it isnlt. Like AWARE, we are focusing on student education? Organizations applying with Council of Student Organizations must register with a constitution signed by at least 10 people. According to Lurie, this requirement was initially waved for GLBC because many members do not want to be publicly named. However, about 15 people were willing to sign the constitution. The group meets once a week, and usually has between 10 and 30 people at the meetings. The meetings are divided into four parts: social, educational, cultural and discussionlexploration. students and faculty members who are trained in helping students who are questioning their sexuality. This system was set up to protect members from llgay-bashingll and general homophobia. ttThis is a group that could experience some problems? Verdeja said. tlSo, gatekeepers are there to make sure that those people who enter the group are safe for the group? Gatekeepers and allies can be identified by their button - a UM llUil with a pink triangle over it. So far, the times and places of group meetings are not published. llThe ally and gatekeeper system works really well? Lurie said. ttThey are trained about what kind of things students are wondering about. were basically an invisible minority, and we need those but- tons to keep people aware that we are here? Initially, GLBC operated out of the Department of Residence Halls. Since becoming an official student group, GLBC works out of the Volunteer Services Office. ttThey feel at home here? Carrie Edmondson, coordinator of vol- TIIE Year In BBViBW Recently, Stephen Sapp, religion professor, came to a meeting to speak about homosexuality and religion. They have also had speakers talk about dealing with relationships, and they have had programs in the residential colleges. Some of the recent campus-wide programs included ltComing Out Day? an event Lurie described as tla day to celebrate and take pride in sexual orientation? Members also participated in a Student Affairs workshop, offering advice on helping with gays, lesbians and bisexuals. On campus, GLBC is collecting signatures to get the University to amend its statement against discrimination to include protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation. Presently, the Universityls llStatement of Non-Discriminationl, does not allow dis- crimination on the basis of llrace, religion, color, sex, age, handicap, veteran status or national origin? ttOfficially, the University is not up to par with other universities on this. We want it in writing? Lurie said. 153 Administration N arm! Norm Parsons, director of Campus Sports and Recreation, had a big 1992 By KEN IJEMOOR orm Parsons has had a busy year. As director of Campus Sports and Recreation, nearly every day finds Parsons wrapped up in his typically busy sched- ule. For example, on one given day, he had a meeting with Florida Power 8; Light technicians who wanted to mark off the locations of power lines in preparation for the expansion of the recreation center, followed by a phone call con- cerning a problem closing on his new house. With another meet- ing looming on the horizon in a half an hour, Norm rescheduled this interview and apologized. Such is the usual day for Norm Parsons almost one year to the date that students voted to fund the most ambitious build- ing project ever at the University of Miami: a state of the art recreation and wellness center entirely paid for through a spe- cial student fee, effectively leapfrogging it over other stalled but higher priority items in the Universityls master plan. To top it all off, Normis next few weeks would be crowded with elections for the top positions in student publications the chairs the Board of Student Publicationsl, his move out of What 1729 enjoyed most 2'5 working with students - seeing them come in 615 youngfresb- men and leave as mature adults. his associate masterls apartment in Eaton Residential College, and his initiation into the Order of Omega, an honor society for fraternity leaders. But as always, Norm made time to accom- modate an interview, talk to a student recreation center employee, and play a few sets of tennis with his son. To even the most casual observer, Norm Parsons is obviously a man committed to the quality of student life on campus, a person who can make anyone who interacts with him feel at ease. ttWhat live enjoyed most is working with students - seeing them come in as young fresh- men and leave as mature adults? Parsons said. tlHopefully, live had the opportunity to make a difference in some peoples lives. And to get paid for that is just awesome? And while the date passed with relatively little publicity, Norm Parsons will remember his twentieth anniversary of service to the University of Miami as the year in which his dream of establishing a top-flight wellness cen- ter on campus finally began to come true. iTThe new wellness centerl is the fruition of 20 years of work on this campus? Parsons said. In September 1972, when Norm first arrived at the University of Miami, the Intramurals Department tas it was known thenl consisted of the concrete block shack that still When Parsons came to UM in 1972, CSR con- sisted of the concrete block shack that still stands next to the canal, a uni- versal weight machine, eight synthetic-sur- face outdoor basketball courts and three nearly useless asphalt courts. James Gibson 1 34 The Year In Review File photo stands next to the canal, a universal weight machine, eight synthetic- surface outdoor basketball courts and three nearly useless asphalt courts, a dozen playable tennis courts, the current all-purpose grass fields, two basketball courts at Mahoney-Pearson, a single one-wall paddleball court, and an old boxing ring next to the shack. The intra- mural offices were adjacent to the University Center Breezeway. In fact, Normis former office is now used by Barnett Bank to secure the two ATMIs in the breezeway. When asked to compare the intramurals facilities of 1972 to the new plans, Dr. Butler, Vice president for Student Affairs, said, 70h my. Therets just no comparison. In those days we had mainly outdoor facilities for students. We desperately needed an indoor recreational facility? One of Normts first projects was the creation of a recreational facilities master plan. Even then, Norm had big plans for the recre- ation center that a beautiful warm-weather university like Miami deserved. A few years later, when the first two four-wall racquetball courts were constructed, Norm instructed the builders to paint num- bers seven and eight on the doors. When students asked why the courts werenlt numbered one and two, Norm replied with reasoned certainty that there definitely would be six more courts in the future. Eventually, students funded four more, and the Intramurals Department built two more from its own funds to make Normls promise come true. In October 1974, Bill Lane pledged $1 million towards what was to be the first phase of a modern campus sports facility. The facility was strongly impacted by the fuel crisis of the mid-197OS, resulting in a design that had no windows and looks like a ltbomb shelter7, as stu- dents used to refer to it. Bill Lane, however, was an alumnus of Duke University, and his commitment to UM waned as he became more involved with efforts to benefit Duke. As a result, the master plan for a high-grade recreation center was put on indefinite hold. A lack of funds didnit keep Norm from working every angle in order to improve what little assets his department did have. In the mid-197OS he and Bob Wyner, together with several enthusiastic stu- dents, spent most of one summer digging ditches in the intramural fields to install the sprinkler system that is still in place today, and saved 60-70 percent of the cost. 81f something needs to be done, go do it? said Norm, and he still takes the same approach even today. Eventually though, the lack of money took its toll. 8We had an embarrassing situation in regards to facilities compared to schools we compete with for students? said Norm. In 1988, the University agreed to pay for an architectural plan Parsons is asked to partici- pate in many dif- ferent kinds of events. Here, he helps out during that could be presented to possible donors inter- ested in funding a new recreation center. In the original plan, the gym was to be preserved, but a new design including windows and indoor land- scaping would have made the center a brighter facility. Norm says of the original plans, 11The Alcohol . . Awareness value to students was Iapparentl 1n the picture. Week. From 1988 to 1992, I carried those plans around and showed them to anyone I could get to lis- ten? Finally in January of 1992, the University hired a consulting group out of Washington, DC, to conduct focus groups with faculty, staff and students on what they wanted in a new center. After crunch- ing the data and numbers, a $14.58 million facility emerged. The only thing remaining was finding a way to pay for it. After the student referendum to fund the center passed in the spring of 1992, Norm received a second dose of good news. Former Sen. George Smathers, who had earlier donated $20 million to improve the library at the University of Florida, made a $10 million gift to the fledgling recreation center. While the first $1.5 million will be donated upon his death, the remaining $8.5 million will kick in 15 years later. The building will be named for Smathers, and the Lane name will be preserved in the basketball gym in the new center. 81 know of no other building like this in the country which has a maintenance and operations endowment 18 or 19 years down the road this building will need some wellness of its own and this gift provides for that? says Norm. Norm has a busy schedule away from CSR as well. In 1982, after helping to publish the Student Life Handbook through Student Affairs for eleven years, Norm was asked by Dr. William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, to serve on the Board of Student Publications. Norm has been the chairman of the Board since 1985. In addition, Norm was inducted into the Miami Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa in 1981 and was tapped into Iron Arrow, UMts highest honor, in 1986. And, after being involved as the fac- ulty advisor to the UM chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, Norm was hon- ored to become the 100th initiate since the chapterls rechartering in 1986, in a rare special initiation ceremony. He was also tapped by the Order of Omega, the national fraternity honor society, during Greek Week 1993 Opening Ceremonies. 7H6 cares about students and wants the best for students? Tiffany Bost, senior, said. 8He believes that in order to be here at the University and study, the body needs to be in good shape, too In everything Norm does, he wants to get students to feel good about themselves? Norm looks forward to new challenges on his horizon. After coaching the womenls golf team to two national championships in five years, and heading the menls team for eight years, Norm embarked upon a five-year stint as an associate master at Eaton Residential College. He is optimistic about the future. ttThis is my home, and I try to make UM the best possible place it can be? Norm says. 81 do look forward to having a window in my new office?

The Ibis staff asks students how they feel about UM he Ibis yearbook staff wanted to know how University of Miami students felt about their University. We wanted to know what they liked and what they disliked. So, we went out and asked them. Students usually donit wait for an opportunity to gripe, but when we gave them the opportunity, there was an overwhelming consensus on what was - and wasnit - bad about UM. Most everyone complained about the scarce parking situation and the rising cost of an education. tLike that should be a surpriseJ Freshman Jose Concepcion had this to say: t1 cant find anything really bad, except financial stuff and parking stuff, which we really cant do any- thing about? When asked about the good side to UM, boasts about the people and the weather dominated the conversa- tion. And what surprised us a little was the number of people that mentioned the diversity as their favorite thing.

Miami defensive backs Paul White and Casey Greer stopped the Syracuse University tight end short of the goal line, following a 29-yard pass from Marvin Graves as time expired to ensure Miami a 16-10 victory in front of a sell-out crowd of 49,857. ttI dontt really think we got away with one? UM receiver Lamar Thomas said. ttI think it was a hard-fought game, and the Hurricanes won, and thatts the bottom line. We always find a way to win, and we don,t care if itts ugly or pretty. You can still drive a Yugo all the way California? The Year In Review The Hurricanes who exhibited their most dominating half of defense in the first half, were unable to stop the eighth-ranked Orangemen 9-2, 6-1 Big Eastt on offense in the second half. This Saturday, Miami t10-0, 4m will close out its regular season schedule at J ack Murphy Stadium against San Diego State University t5-4-D. Though the Aztecs shouldnft prove too tough a task for UM, the game will be decisive in the Heisman Trophy race. While Miami features Gino Torretta, SDSU is carried by the sensational sophomore running back Marshall Faulk. Graves, the nations pass-efficiency leader, faced an unstoppable UM defense in the opening half as the Orangemen were held to minus-l yard of total offense. The scrambling quarterback found himself deposited in the SU backfield more often than not. He was sacked seven times and finished the half with eight rush- es for minus-45 yards. Graves was equally ineffective in the air, completing four of 12 passes for 33 yards and one interception. Torretta, mean- while opened the game with a 48-yard strike to the streaking Horace Copeland down to the SU 6- yard line. The completion silenced the deafening and frenzied Carrier dome crowd. Two plays later, however, Torretta dumped the ball off over the middle intended for fullback Donnell Bennett. SU linebacker Dan Conley was there instead and abruptly ended the Miami drive, stealing the Torretta pass and returning it to the 29-yard line. Following a three and out series by the Orangemen, Conley picked off Torrettais next pass, this one off the hands of a Miami receiver. It was that kind of half for Torretta. After going four games with- out an interception, the Heisman front-runner suffered three in the first half. He finished the half 14 of 24 for 200 yards. Despite turnovers, Miami carried a dominating 13-0 lead into the half-time locker room. It didnit last, though. 21 think our first half, on both sides of the ball was about as good as weive played Iall yearL really? UM Coach Dennis Erickson said. The Syracuse defense, ranked fifth in the nation against the run heading into game, limited Hurricane backs to just 19 yards, and effectively shut down the big-play UM offense following Prewittis 35-yard field goal 4: 17 gone by in the third period. ttWe knew in the locker room at half-time and knew we could stay with them and beat them? Conley said. ffWe just ran out of time? Syracuse scored on two straight possessions to open the second half. After a Paul Snyder 43-yard punt pinned the Orangemen back on their own 8-yard line, Graves took the offense the length of the field in nine plays. Gravesi quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line with 13:03 remaining in the game, pulled the Orangemen to within six at 16-10. Penetrating deep into UM territory, the Orangemen were turned back on a third and three play from the UM 19 yard-line. Graves was hit as he released the ball and the pass fell back into his hands of UM linebacker Rohan Marley at the 25-yard line. In the final series of the game, the Orangemen again drove deep into the UM territory. With 31 seconds to go in the contest, Warren Sapp sacked Graves for a 6-yard loss back to the UM 23-yard line. Defensive end Darren Krein dropped Graves the next play back to the 32-yard line, setting up the final play of the game on fourth and 21. 91 didnit want this many close games?

Many students in the build- J ing awoke to the sound of the fire alarm. Some said they took it to be one of the many false alarms heard in the building until resident assistants began pounding on doors telling students that it was in fact a real fire. ltWithin a few minutes, everybody was evacuated? said Brett Schwartz, a junior living on Pearsonls fourth floor. Smoke spread quickly through the building, filling floors two through seven. A blockage in the trash chute near the fourth floor contributed to the build-up and permeation of smoke and inhibited the clean-up efforts. Students were locked out of the building for nearly four hours while the smoke was cleared and the water was mopped up. Pearson suffered little damage. Heat shorted out phone lines to 10 suites in the building, and there was scattered smoke and water damage. Most of the damage was confined to the fourth, sixth and seventh floors. A hole was knocked into a concrete wall near the sec- ond floor trash chute by firefighters. Luckily, the sprinkler system, which is heat-activated, did not engage, saving the building from substantial water damage. A fire department press release stated that all fire systems operat- ed properly, but the sprinklers in the trash Chute specifically designed to douse a blaze there did not entirely extinguish the fire.

Herron is hilarious as the emotional Lenny, who - facing a lonely thirtieth birthday - fumbles as she attempts to celebrate her birthday by lighting candles atop of a crum- bling cookie.

The Year In Review 147 The W Paintball Club relieves stress by taking aim at one another By HONDA WILSON th so many trees the enemy is eas- 1ly concealed by greenery. With his heart racing, the paintball play- er contemplates when to shoot; it is difficult to concentrate. The flag is within eyesight, but sudden moves could jeopardize the teamis Victory. The enemy is advancing fast. A move has to be made. Suddenly, a fellow team member is spotted, the stillness is broken, the enemy is shot , and the Victory flag is within reach. The suspenseful and competitive sport of paintball was established approximately two years ago on the University of Miami campus by Cullen Case, Jeff Chu and J ay Sussman In paintball, a pump gun is used to shoot paint pellets at players from the opposing 148 team. A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatainous capsule that is contains bio- degradable liquid. The object of the game is to try to peg another player from the rival team with a paint pellet. Case said the sport builds character, teaches the importance of teamwork, and creates confidence in the players. The game can be played two ways: team against team or free-for-all where everyone is the enemy. tlThe basic concept is to attack and defend? said founding member Cullen Case. The game can be won by eliminating all players from the opposing team or by getting the flag back to base. CAMPUS For safety, each player wears goggles, tennis shoes, camoflage, and a face mask. Since the paint pellets travel at a speed of 300 feet per second, the safety gear is a necessity to protect players from the impact. Paintball gained popularity on campus simply by word of mouth. The Year In Review J.C. Ridley A member of the UM Paintball Club sets his sights on a fellow member. llPeople would ask us where we had just come from? said Case.

Members say the game is good for relieving stress and they finish exhausted. Case said, iilt isnlt real combat, but the rush makes it feel like it is? At one time, the club had 90 members, but cost slimmed the numbers down. COMBAT Membership fees are $30, payable per semester. Members with equipment pay ten dol- lars for field time, paint and air.

Former UM quarterback Vinnie Testaverde, now playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is the only other UM player to win the award 09861. He was a longshot to win the award throughout most of the season, trailing favorite San Deigo State running back Marshall Faulk. But Faulk was slowed by several knee and ankle injuries late in the season while Torretta steadily improved. Torretta finished first in the balloting, followed by Faulk and Georgia running back Garrison Hearst. Instead of looking back to the names like Testaverde, Walsh, Kelly and Kosar; Torretta found a hero far closer to home. 11 Iid like to thank my father? Torretta said at the end of his acceptance speech, after heid thanked everyone else he could think 1 of, tlbecause he is one of the reasons why I am here today? Al Torretta never got to see his son Gino throw one down at Miami. A little over a week after Gino first arrived at UM, his father suffered a brain aneurysm. Gino flew home to Pinole, Cal., to be by his side. On Sept. 4, 1988, Al Torretta passed away. 9He wasnlt the kind of guy who pushed me really hard to do anything? Torretta said. iiHC used to always say, The boy is going to 150 do what he wants he wants to dolfl To understand the importance of Torrettais father is to also understand the importance of family in his life. Ginois mother, Connie, has logged a lot of frequent flyer miles traveling from California to Miami to see every game her son is starting in. She is often his toughest critic. Older brotherls Gary and Geoff also often attend games. Torretta credits his family for their sup- port and his father for his work ethic. 91 never quit anything? Torretta said. 91f we started something our dad would never let us quit? The Renegade Gino grew up the youngest of four brothers. Gary, 31, is married and works in real estate in Pinole. Greg, 28, develops con- sumer software for Pacific Bell. Twin-broth- er Geoff lives at home and helps with the family business, Antlerls Tavern. All three older brothers enjoyed and played many sports as kids. Afternoons would be spent playing soft- ball in the park or football in the backyard. But to their sur- prise, sports didnit interest Gino. 11With Gino, it was him and his buddies with their long hair skateboarding down the street? Gary said. At age 7, Connie signed up Gino for a modeling agency. He appeared as an extra in the Clint Eastwood movie Quarterback Gino Torretta out-dueled Marshall Faulk for the Heisman Trophy. Faulk did not play in the Miami-San Diego State game while Torretta threw for over 300 yards. Miami won 63-17. The Year In Review The Year In HGViBW Dave Bergman 11The Enforcerit and also starred in a Clorox Bleach commercial. 11He was cute as a button? Connie said. It wasn1t until high school when Gino started taking sports seriously. He played quarterback for three seasons but didn1t establish himself as the starter until his senior year. 111 played some wide receiver my junior year in high school? Torretta said. 11Lamar 1Hurricane wide receiver Lamar Thomas1 watched some of the films and got a kick out of it? From Obscurity to Prominence Gino decided to go to UM mainly because of his older brother Geoff. Geoff Torretta attended Miami from 1982-87 and was a career backup behind Kosar and Testaverde. Former UM offensive coordinator Gary Stevens tried to dissuade Gino from attending UM. s1Gary1s biggest fear? Geoff said, 11was that Gino would end up being just like me? He didnit, of course. Gino received his early indoctrination in his freshman year when Starter Craig Erickson went down with a broken thumb in the middle of a game against Michigan State. Miami won 26-20. Torretta started the next two games and picked up two more Victories, including a record-breaking 468-yard passing day against San J ose State. But it took a 24-10 loss to Florida State, a game in which Miami turned the ball over six times, for Torretta to learn his first lesson. 111 learned that as a starting quarterback you cant afford to beat yourself? said Torretta, who tossed three interceptions. 21 wasntt too nervous, it was just a matter of making mistakes? ' He wouldn1t make many more mistakes. Torretta backed up Erickson his sophomore year and then endured a quarterback contro- versy the following spring and fall. Heralded recruit Bryan Fortay and Torretta battled for the starting QB slot left open after Ericksonis graduation. Coach Dennis Erickson chose Torretta. Today, 23 consecutive victories later, Fortay is now at Rutgers and Torretta stands near the top of the college football world. He has already won one national title and re- wrote the University of Miami record book in yards passing, total yards and comple- tions. He is 25-1 as a starter and has the chance to become the only UM quarterback to win three national titles if Miami defeats the University of Alabama New Years day in the Sugar Bowl. 11The individual award is nice?

They are not your typical Hurricane basketball fans. eople point at them and smile, players acknowledge them during their warmups and the television cameras seek them out as soon as they walk into the Miami Arena. But, then again, itis easy to see why. They are wearing basketballs on their heads. Youive probably seen them tif you ever been to a University of Miami basketball gamel - they are hard to miss. They call themselves the Hoopheads, and this informal group of extroverts love the atten- tion their headgear gets. ilOnce you put this on your head, you get a little giddy? Earle McDonald, the head Hoophead, said. itWe thought it was a shame we were playing all these Big East games but had no attendance. We decided the school could use some fans that are a little bit crazy? They go and Cheer for the team and try to get others more into the games. They say they enjoy doing it. iiWeire almost guaranteed to have fun? McDonald said. They have fun creating their hoophead gear as well. Each ball is a little different. One has ears, another has the rim and net on top and one guy adds a pair of green swimming goggles to his ensemble. On average, there are three or four of them at most menis basket- ball games. For the big games, like the UM-Syracuse University matchup Feb. 6, 1993, they can have up to seven guys with basketballs on their heads present.

It began during the 1987-88 season, after UM played DePaul University in the Knight Center on campus. According to the alum- nus member of the Hoopheads, Mike Ryan, the game was televised nationwide, but Miami had no fans present. So, he and a couple of friends - all resident assistants in Mahoney Residential College - bought some basketballs, cut them open and wore them to the next game. They wanted to give the team some much-needed support, but they also wanted to make the game a little more fun by drawing attention to themselves. They think of themselves as the clowns of UM basketball fans. iiWe are a little like ISebastianl the Ibis? McDonald said.

This was the second stranding UMls aving th chapter of MMSN was asked to help with. MMSN, even before its first meeting, was called to a mass dolphin stranding at Marathon Key, because the National Marine Fisheries Services tNMFSi found itself Shorthanded for such a large undertaking. Several students volunteered to help with the necropsies of nine dolphins and the tagging and measuring of at least six others. The necropsies involved taking exterior mea- surements of the dolphins, gathering tissue and organ samples, and extracting the skele- tal systems for further examination. iiThey let us help so much, right away. They trusted us. I thought we would be observers? Kelly Bayer, a junior, said. The new organization was formed on campus in December. Consisting entirely of marine science majors, the groups purpose is to respond to stranded marine mammal sightings. Kathy Prunier, a former teaching assis- tant in chemical oceanography at UM and presently the fisheries biologist and coordi- nator 0f strandings at NMFS, met with Linda Farmer, coordinator of the marine science program, in November at a symposium on research in the Florida Keys. The idea for forming an MMSN group at UM was born at this meeting. The group requested official member- ship in the national Marine Mammal Stranding Network from the National Marine Fisheries Services tNMFSl Upon approval, UMls chapter will join the Miami Seaquariumis stranding efforts in Dade County. UM will be the first called for the sight- ings of dead strandings in Dade County, and the Seaquarium will be notified first of live strandings. They will then have the option of contacting one another for assistance. Florida Atlantic University is also a member of the MMSN and is responsible for strandings in Broward County. According to members, membership in the MMSN is serious business. Students make themselves available e whale twenty-four hours a day. The volunteers are divided into four teams, each with a team leader and name. If members are unable to assist with a stranding without just cause, they can be removed from the organization. According to Farmer, the members are receiving hands-on experience with marine life, both alive and dead. The field work and skills gained will provide an advantage when students compete in the job market, she said. The network also provides the marine sci- ence majors with the opportunity to fitest the waters, in the area of marine studies which could influence their career choices. Most important for some, however, is the knowledge that their efforts will help fur- ther marine mammal research and provide a better understanding of what causes these creatures to become stranded. fTStudentsl gain an awakening of the complexity of dealing with the problems of an ecologically endangered species?

And the crew teams fin- ished the season With a Bronze medal at the Dad Vail National Championship Regatta, siX gold medals at the State Championships and the course record at a 26-mile marathon. The crew teams won six of the most important races at the Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Associations State Championship Regatta, and then took their boats to Philadelphia for the Dad Vail. J oe OlConnor, head coach and menls varsity coach, said the ViCe tory at Dad Vail his a tribute to the athletic department, to the coach- es, and t0 the rowers who have gone through the program? He said, ttI donlt think there is a program that has only been to Dad Vail for six years that has had the success we have had? ttThe Dad Vail was a good regatta for us. The varsity men were third, which is the first time we have won a medal in a varsity eight event? OlConnor said. tlThat was a giant step for the program because we have always been close knocking on the door - but for the varsity men to get a bronze at the Dad Vail was a giant step? In June, the UM crew teams went to Rio de J aneiro, Brazil, to compete in an international regatta against crews from Canada, Paraguay, Portugal, Brazil and several other South American countries. ttIn the eight race we were very successful - third both days - losing only to two Olympic crews?

Okie er OiConnori has been putting a lot of pressure on us to perform, and I think we have been coming up with really high intensity since the begin- ning of the fall? Womenls head coach Margaret Gordon said the womenis varsity program had a rough fall but is looking for a highly success- ful spring. lThere were a little bit of growing pains this fall, but things are beginning to get into a much better groove which is great for everybody? Gordon said. ilI coached novice for three years here at UM and so now those girls that are now in the varsity program are girls that I taught to row. It is real exciting and challenging to get back people that I began and to see how they have developed and take it one step higher? Gordon noted that the womenis team is young, with only a few third-year rowers. But she also said that the team has the most amount of varsity women rowers and the intensity shows in inter-team competi- tion. llWe donlt have scholarships, kids do it because they want to? Gordon said. ltThe hardest challenge for me is to get athletes thinking about rowing on a national level? The team also acheived success off the water as they inagurated their new boathouse which faces the Indian Creek Canal, off 65th Street in Miami Beach. llThe boathouse is going to have a big impact on our program because it is going to make life more comfortable?

And the regular season hit Miami like a sledge-hammer to glass. Miami opened up with a surreal 72-64 loss to cross-town rival Florida International University. UM had never lost to the Golden Panthers in six previous meetings. Against Southwest Texas State, UM col- lapsed after leading for nearly 35 minutes. The Wildcats, whose tallest player was a mere 6-8, escaped the Miami Arena with a 60-57 win. The doormats of the tiny Southland Conference had just upended the Big East Hurricanes. iiWe havenit quite jelled together yet? forward Pat Lawrence said at the time. itWe have people who are changing positions as we go. So, were trying to find ourselves right now? The Meadowlands of East Rutherford, N.J., was the site of an encouraging sign for Hamilton. Facing a tough seventh-ranked Seton Hall squad on the heels of an 0-2 start, UM responded by pushing the Pirates to the brink -1eading by as much as 14 points in the second half - before falling 65-56. Coming home, the Hurricanes vented their frustration in an 81-64 Victory over Barry University and an 84-61 smashing of Florida Atlantic at the Miami Arena. Both were Division 11 schools, however. Meanwhile, off the court problems con- tinued. Sophomore Ocheil Swaby, a 6-6 for- ward who averaged 47.0 points at North Miami High, was suspended by Hamilton and did not play against Barry.

Popa scored 16 points and registered five blocks and the fantastic Edwards scored 19 points and dished out nine assists. The 80-69 win was the highest-ranked opponent UM had beaten since the resurrec- tion of the basketball program in 1985-86. Following losing efforts during a three- game road trip through Pittsburgh, Syracuse and St. J ohnls, UM returned home and con- verted the Arena into a torture chamber for Visiting conference foes. Providence went down 75-66 as UM doubled its conference win total from last season. The game, more than anything else though, signaled the start of UM playing .500 ball. No. 20 Pittsburgh escaped with a bizarre 86-84 win, scoring the game tying basket out. 8A loss like this can affect you one of two ways? Hamilton said after that game. Sometimes, it can be a devastating loss to your morale and your confidence. I didnlt get any feeling in the locker room that this team will allow this to affect them? But the Hurricanes avenged the Pitt loss by upending Connecticut, 80-65. It was UMis largest margin of Victory against a Big East team to that point and began a streak where Popa would score at least 20 points in six of the next eight games. A lethargic effort at Villanova was followed by a non-conference breather against 1-17 Bethune-Cookman. UM throttled the Wildcats 78-54. Posting wins over Syracuse and Boston College boosted Miamifs conference record at home to 5-1 and moved them into a sixth place tie with UConn with a 5-6 overall Big East mark. ffYou look at their team and theylve got Gardner, whois playing about as well as any of the point guards in the league, Edwards is as good as any of the freshmen in the league and Popa is easily the most improved player probably in the whole league?

But Miamils woes continued. The opportunity seemed ripe for UM to earn its first road win in more than three seasons. Instead, Miami fell flat on its face at UConn, 88-72, and Providence, 75-60. The Hurricanes would get another home Big East win when then-No. 25 St. J ohns came to town. Three lopsided losses followed, however: at home to Seton Hall, 85-73, and on the road to Boston College, 70-58, and at Georgetown, 82-64. The last home game, however, set the tone for things to come. A thrilling Victory over Villanova pushed UMls Big East home record to 7-2. Hamilton, saying good-bye to the guys that suffered through his first seasons, started all five seniors, including walk-on A.C. Clark. Two free throws by Steve Edwards with 3:06 left to play gave Miami a 5-point lead, but Villanovats Lance Miller responded with a pair of free throws at 2:36, a 16-foot jumper at 1:47 and a three-point- er from the top of the key with 1:09 left to give the Wildcats a 76-75 lead. Popa provided the winning bucket with 39.2 seconds left to play, with a baseline spin and lay-in, beating a Villanova double team.

She was voted as one of the top five players in Miami,s district and is also one of nine finalists for Champion Productsl Player of the Year. ttVickils a great player? Assistant Coach Robin Harmony said. 11Just think how far she would have gone if she had played all four years? Guard Dellareese Wilson proved to be a versatile offensive play- er whose contributions to the team were frequent. The senior started every game, averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game. 71 cant stand being in a game without Della? Plowden said. ltIt 172 The Year In Review feels like therels something missing. I feel more secure when shels on the court? Wilson was named to the Big East second-team after scor- ing 34 points, 13 assists and 11 steals in three games. 9Della is a very good leader? Labati said. ifShe is the type of individual that has a real passion for basketball. She loves the game and she loves to play? Senior Carla Harris saw a lot of playing time this year as the last remaining tfsuper subli from the 1991-92 season. She aver- aged 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. 1tCarla always comes through for you because she caresfi Labati said. Despite an ankle injury from the Florida International game in December, junior Ronnie McGarry remained a constant defensive standout. Known as ffthe energizeril for her hustle, the forward averaged 4.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Junior Nikki Mitchell and sophomore Tanya Young also added their talents to the team, providing necessary substitution in pressure situations. Labati, who has coached over 400 games, hopes to lead her team into Big East success next year. With the loss of seniors Plowden, Wilson, Harris and Tantillo, the newer players will have a lot of hard work ahead of them to live up to the records set by their predecessors. Half of the leadership this year was done by the youngest members of the team - the freshmen. The five new recruits, led by Holly Rilinger, were a breath of fresh ability and energy on an otherwise upper-class team. Rilinger, a starting point guard, had an appendectomy in the first week of practice. She was supposed to be out for three weeks but made it back in eight days. ffHollyis a real team play- er? Labati said. tIShels always working hard to improve. She always wants to do better? Rilinger was named one of the best five freshmen in America by USA Today. She has also won the Big East fresh- men of the week award four times this season, setting a league record. ffWhen I saw Holly play over the summer, I told everyone that we had a great guard coming here? Harris said. The native of Waynesboro, Va., known for her excellent ball handling skills, quickly became the teams top scorer, aver- aging 16.2 points per game. She was named the Big East Tournamentis Outstanding Rookie and was placed on the All- Tournament Team, the All-Rookie team and the Third Team All-Conference. IIAll I need is a little bit of space and I can make my move? Rilinger said. Freshmen forwards Desma Thomas and Minosha Jones, and guards Veronica Watson and Christine Olsen also saw some playing time. After gaining some valuable experience this year, they will cer- tainly have more active roles in the future. Senior Mary Tantillo, juniors Cami Young and Galia Maik and sophomore walk-on Yasmin Mendoza all added to the season in which Miami lost only seven games: I The Florida State Seminoles handed Miami its first setback of the year, defeating the Lady ICanes 64-61 at the Knight Sports Complex. The Seminoles were led by Tia Paschal, who scored 25 points. UM freshman guard Holly Rilinger was held scoreless. Florida State won its fourth consecutive game against Miami in four years. I The Hurricanes lost 67-57 against the sixth-ranked Maryland Terrapins when they traveled there on Feb. 11. The game was tele- vised on ESPN. Rilinger led the team with 22 points. Plowden fouled out of the game with 8:41 left to play. She left with eight points and three rebounds, which tied her season lows. I Miami suffered its first-ever Big East setback against Seton Hall University at Walsh Gym in East Orange, NJ. The Pirates won 73-59 as Miami shot 29 percent from the field. J.C. Ridley I Miami also lost 90-88 in triple over- time at Georgetown on the Maryland trip. In the longest game in Miami womenis basketball history, the Lady ICanes led 64- 51 with a little over five minutes left to play before Georgetown reeled off 14 straight points. Miami led for most of the first and second overtime only to have Georgetown regain the tie at the buzzers. Carla Harris scored a career-high 25 points but it wasnit enough. Georgetown ended the regular season as co-Big East champions with Miami. I Miami made it to the finals of the Churchls Chicken Holiday Tournament at the Knight Sports Complex, defeating Bucknell and Appalachian State. However, in the finals, the 11th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated Miami 75-74 in double overtime. Working together as a team, the Hurricanes proved how impor- tant it is to play like a pig. Plowden sums it all up by saying, 81 came into this program as a winner, and Ilm leaving as a winner. It doesnlt get better than that? Guard Dellareese Wilson proved to be a versatile offensive player who started every game, averag- ing 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game. The Year In Review 173 Wash and cross country llM's two track stars shine Pole vaulter Bill Deering and hurdler Gillian Russell anchored Miami's track team By KEVIN BHOGKWAY n his third season as track and field head coach, Rodney Price based the develop- ment of the UM track and field team around two superstars - senior pole vaulter Bill Deering and sophomore hurdler Gillian Russell. ffWelre pretty optimistic about the sea- son? Price said. flIn Gillian and Bill, we have two of the more talented athletes in the country. Thatis what it takes to build a program? All Russell did as a freshman was to become the first UM athlete ever to auto- matically qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 55-meter hurdles. And she made the most of her opportu- nity, taking the championship at the NCAA Indoors with a time of 7.59 seconds. Russell also took the Big East Indoor championship in the 55-meter hurdles 0.691 and the Big East Outdoor championship in the 100 meter hurdles t13.18l. She was an alternate for the J amaiean 4X100 meter relay team in Barcelona, Spain. But 1993 started slowly for Russell. She was hobbled with back injuries, but did man- age a second-place finish at the Big East Indoor Championships in the 55-meter hur- dles. ffItls been difficult? Russell said. fiThere are a lot of expectations. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I just want to remain healthy? Russell redeemed herself by qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championship in the 55-meters at The Fast Times Meet in Gainesville March 4-7. Deering, a preseason All-American, broke his own Big East indoor record with a vault of 18-feet-l-inch. That vault made him the first UM male athlete to automatically qualify for the NCAA Indoors. 174 ffThe first Big East championship was very special? Deering said. ffBut being able to come back and do it again was phenome- nalfl Deering wasn,t the only one to shine at the Big East meet. Freshman Carlos J ones took first place in the 200-meter and 55- meter dash. Overall, UM placed fifth in the menls division and seventh in the womenis division out of 10 teams at the Big East Championships in Syracuse, N .Y. 91 was very happy with our performance during the weekend? Price said. ffWeive come a long way from last year? Sherri Cooper was another pleasant sur- prise for UM. The freshman from Miami won the 200-meter event at the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame University Feb. 27. Cooper finished the 200 in a time of 24.36 seconds, a provisional qualifying time for the N CAA Indoor Championships. She did not automatically qualify, however. At the NCAA Indoor Championships, Russell, the defending champion, won the preliminary heat and placed second in the semifinal heat. But in the final heat, she struck the fourth hurdle and fell behind even- tual winner Monifa Taylor of the University of Florida. Russell took fourth overall with a time of 7.70 71 was extremely disappointed? Russell said. 3T0 be that close and to have something like that happen. But that,s part of life and part of hurdlingfl Meanwhile, Deering was forced to scratch from the NCAA Indoors due to an aggravated hamstring he injured a week before the meet. Deering was a favorite to win the event. UM opened its outdoor track season on an optimistic note. Freshman Eric Campbell erased Chuck Lumols 1991 Triple Jump record at the Florida State Relays in Tallahassee. Campbell distanced 49-feet 11 and 374 inches.The womenls team won the first annual Lady Hurricane Classic at the UM Greentree Track and Field, edging Texas Tech 61-60. The 4X400 relay J'C.

Ments cross country gets new coach; Women hurt by Hurricane Andrew By KEVIN BHOBKWAY he University of Miami started the 1992 cross country season with a new men1s head coach - Mike Ward. Ward, 38, came to Miami following a six-year career as a personal track and road running coach in Miami. He had previous experience on the collegiate level as a woments middle and long distance coach at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where he starred as a cross country runner from 1973-77. Amy Deem returned for her fourth season as the UM woments track and cross country coach. Deem, 27, came to Miami as an intern from Ohio University and decided to stay in the area. Both teams got off to shaky start at the Florida International University Meet in September. The men,s team was hampered by injuries and eligibility problems. Junior Todd Lilleberg and walk-on Hector Lopez nursed injuries. Newcomers J im Rigot and Ryan Pinder had to sort out their eligibility status. Overall, Miami placed third behind FIU and the University of Central Florida. Four UM runners placed in the top 15 but the best finisher was junior Ari Mellon, who ran the five mile course in 28:58. Lilleberg took 11th. The women,s team placed third behind FIU and UCF. But senior Desiree J oubert finished first overall. At the Big East Conference Championship in Boston, the menTS team finished ninth and the Women,s team finished last in a 10-team field. Mellon finished 74th overall to pace the ments team, followed by Lilliberg, freshman Hector Lopez, freshman J ames Rigot and senior Scott Winrow. 8A5 a team, we ran a fairly good race? Winrow said. ttWe just want to come in and beat somebody? The women,s team didntt fare as well, placing last. J oubert was the team1s top finisher, followed by Narda Williams, Laticia Clark, Tammy Alberti and J eanette Williams. 8We were unprepared because of Hurricane Andrew? Joubert said. 7The other schools had five to six weeks more practice time? In November, the men1s team competed in the NCAA Region III Meet in Furman, S.C. Lilleberg was the teamts top finisher, placing 167th overall out of 270 runners. He ran the 10 kilometer course in 33:44. Lilleberg was followed by Mellon, Lopez, Rigot and Winrow. 8Todd1s not a natural cross country runner? Mellon said. 8But he,s been consistent throughout the 175 Men's Tennis 77915329011: we ire not as deep as last year. 1th bard to have a productive team without everyone remaining bealtbyf Staying healthy The menls tennis team began their spring season ranked 18th nationally By LIAM FITZGERALD he University of Miami menls tennis team felt that two goals, if not achieved, would prevent them from improving their 15-8 record for the 1991-92 campaign. They needed to remain healthy and, at the same time, play competitive. With a tough schedule that includes a trip a trip to California in March against powerhouses Pepperdine tranked fourth in the countryi and UCLA tranked fifth in the countryl and few breaks in the action after February, team health and self confidence are vital. ltThis year, welre not as deep as last year? Tonny van de Pieterman, senior co-captain, said. 1this hard to have a pro- ductive team without everyone remaining healthy. That is why it is a big priority for us? The Hurricanes began their spring season ranked 18th nationally by the 10-coach ITCA National Ranking Committee and believe senior co-captains J ohan Milbrink and van de Pieterman will be major contributors, attempting to pick up where seniors Dean Cohan and Fred Perman left off. Last season, the Hurricanes needed to reel off nine consecutive wins after a slow start to keep them above the .500 mark. 111 feel we have a solid team this year, led by seniors Milbrink and van de Pieterman? UM head coach J ohn Hammill said. stBut there is room for improvement for everyone. That is one of our goals - to get better as the season progresses. With the team we have, and the contributions from our freshman, we can succeed? The 57th-ranked player in the country, van de Pieterman came to the Hurricanes from Midland Junior College. He finished the 1991-92 season with a 30-9 record, but feels he can raise his level of play. ill have to work on going for the kill when I have my opponent beat? van de Pieterman said. 91 cannot let him back in the match and have a chance to beat me. Its something in my head I have to deal with and set straight? 7 Fellow co-captain J ohan Milbrink transferred from Louisiana State last year, with two seasons of college tennis already under his belt. At Miami, he did not fare as well as expected, going 17-17 in 1991-92, including losses in seven of 10 doubles matches. 0To have a successful season, the seniors must carry the team when itls in a slump? Hammill said. 91 have a lot of confidence that Johan will bounce back, and, along with Tonny, be a solid contributor to our teams success? J.C. Ridley Senior co-captian Tonny van de Pieterman started the season ranked 52nd in the nation. He teamed with Wolfram Knobling to defeat the University of South Florida in doubles play. The success of this team will depend on how the younger players adapt to the pressure of major collegiate tennis, including extensive road trips and matches against more experienced opponents. ltThe younger players can have a bad day once in a while, but they will have to learn to scramble and find a way to win? van de Pieterman said. ttThey have to develop a game and play with a chance to win every time they go on the court? Other Hurricanes who are expected to contribute include: senior David Friedland, who sat out last season as a redshirt and junior Wolfram Knobling, who transferred from Germany. Sophomores Klas Pettersson and Matt Kaslow also hope to be major contributors. Freshman Eric Bengets and Marco Mazzotta, the younger brother of womenls No. 1 seed Melissa Mazzotta, round out the team. This season, the Hurricanes faced tough teams at home, includ- ing Arizona and Arizona State, Alabama and Alabama-Birmingham, Clemson, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Drake and three state rivals Florida State, Southern Florida and Florida International. The men have played well thus far 6-D. Their only loss in four matches came against Alabama-Birmingham. Their victories were over FIU, Clemson and Arizona State. ttWeWe played well so far, but there is not much room for mis- takes? Friedland said. 11We have a big trip to California coming up, so we need to keep playing like we have and improve as we go along.n 176 The Year In Review N0 III'BSSIII'B Improving on last years top- 20 ranking is not a major con- cern for womenls coach Kim Sands By LIAM HHSEBALD n her second season as University of Miami womenls head coach, Kim Sands is coming off an impressive 17-5 season and a No. 15 national ranking. Last year, the team added to an already uplifting season by reaching the second round of the NCAA team championships. To repeat or even improve on last sea- sonls record would be a plus, according to Sands. But that is not what she strives for as coach. Jennifer Abelson Co-captain Bettina Sonneveld prac- tices her serve. IiMy goal is, and always will be, to encourage the girls to experience all that col- lege life has to offer? Sands said. ilWinning and losing is not a part of my overall plan. I want the girls to realize there is m ore to col- lege than tennis. There is so much more to life, and we donlt want them to let that pass by? The team looks forward to the return of their number one seed, former All-American Melissa Mazzotta, from knee surgery. She tore ligaments in her knee after a skiing acci- dent, forcing her to miss all of last season. She returns to the court fully healthy and ready to regain her All-American status. ilIt was great to have Melissa back and healthy, because that was my number one priority, before wins and losses? Sands said. liThe girls have come together as a team and IE Year In REVIEW Women's Tennis are friendly which each other, which allows them to have fun and relax on the court. Thereis no pressure put on them by me, since they always give it their all? J oining Mazzotta on this experienced squad are co-captains Bettina Sonneveld and Julie Downs, who both had successful sea- sons last year, finishing with records of 18-5 and 16-12, respectively. Juniors Michelle Fry and Rachel Viollet made great contributions to the Lady iCanes last season. Fry ended with a 23-8 record, while Viollet finished with an impressive record of 25-9. Four of the teams five losses from the 1991-92 campaign came on neutral courts, against sixth-ranked Duke, 20th-ranked Louisiana State, top-ranked Florida and 15th -ranked Tennessee. The teams only other loss came at home against 11th-ranked Texas. In order to achieve the success they enjoyed last season, the 14th-ranked Lady ICanes believe they need to stay healthy. liKeeping the team healthy and having fun is what I strive to do? Sands said. 9A big win is just a fringe benefit for our team. As long as the girls give it their best effort, therels not much else I can ask for? Besides the vet- eran players, two oth- ers were expected to make useful contribu- tions to this years team. Freshman Pilar Valls and Leanne Gutkin were new to the college way of playing tennis, but appear capable of handling the pressure. liCommunicating with each other is important, especially with the new players? Downs said. tiThey need to know that they are not in it alone. There are friends who they can count on for support when things get too tough? This yearis schedule will be equivalent to last seasons. Miami will take on Big East rival Syracuse, Florida State, Florida International and Florida. Other strong teams visiting Miami include: Clemson, Alabama. Louisiana, Wake Forest and Mississippi. An early road trip against three West Coast powers proved disappointing. Miami defeated San Diego State but lost to Pepperdine and USC. ltWe have a lot of ranked teams on the schedule this season? UM assistant tennis coach Troy Porch said. iiThis is sort of a rebuilding year for us, so were not expect- ing a national title. The girls hate to lose, because they are so competitive? 177 s . . WIIIIIIIIIII 1 By MARK SBEBBO he biggest story surrounding the University of Miami swimming and diving program this year was the joltsthey received on Jan. 11, when head swimming coach L Richard Cahalan announced his resignation, effective at the end of the 1992- 93 season Cahalan, head coach of the Hurricanes for three seasons, will concentrate on run- ning a private swim- ming school. 11There are a lot W Tgaszw Christopher Carlisle Morning practice at the University Center Pool. of different sides of my job, lots of different things than just being called swim coach? said Cahalan. ItOne thing is teaching lessons to young Children. Of all the things I do, I like that the most. Whatever you do, you have to be happy doing it. Iim happy as a coach, but Iim more happy as a teacher? Cahalan, who started at Miami as an assistant coach after coming from Australia in 1984, said his resignation had nothing to do with the rumors that the swimming and diving program would be dropped by the UM Athletic Department. Those rumors have been dispelled, as UM athletic director Dave Maggard said that the program will not be shut down. A new coach will not be named until after the season ends. In the pool, the womenls team got off to strong 5-0 start, attain- ing a ranking of No. 24 in the nation with one meet left before the Big East Championships. The womenis squad received a boost with the return of senior Kim Small, who took the 1991-92 season off to launch a barely unsuccessful attempt to make the Olympic team. Small finished third in the 400 and 800 meter freestyle. She missed making the team by one place in both events. In addition to Small, seniors Stacey Staver, Kelly Evans and Dena Champney and junior Amey Bosseler were also key contributors. But the biggest surprise, and one of the biggest performers, for the womenis team was fresh- men Janet Mayville from Ontario, Canada, who swam at a level far above that of a freshman. ttlanet Mayville is an outstanding swimmer? said Cahalan. 11She is very versatile. As a freshmen, she is posting the fastest times of all one in the nation. J- 7n om overall sense, de say were number Diving coach Randy Ablemom our swimmers. The future looks bright for her. She will continue to improve as she progresses through school? Along with Mayville, Craig Barry, Trevor J amison and Tamas Deutsch formed what Callahan called, 8a solid core of freshmen who are going to be the basis for the swimming and diving team? The diving squads, coached by 1992 NCAA diving coach of the year Randy Ableman, were once again at the top of collegiate diving. The men were led by senior Dean Panaro, a two-time NCAA individ- ual champion and defending NCAA male diver of the year, and sophomore J ose Gil, a two-time Olympian for Spain. Juniors Brian Panaro and Edward Morse rounded out the stellar group that routine- ly swept the one- and three-meter springboard events. The women divers also have an Olympian from Spain in fresh- man Julia Cruz. Also major contributors on the womenls diving Out of the Pool Swimming 603011 retires after a winning 88380 squad are sophomore Phoebe Mills, a 1988 Olympian in gymnastics, and senior Betsy Gervan, who dove in the beginning of the year despite not being fully recovered from off-season knee surgery. In the second meet of the year, at home against Florida State, both squads showed what they are capable of. The women won 125- 118 after being down by 11 points with four events left. The men, after having been trounced by the Seminoles by over 100 points the previous two years, took the meet down to the final relay and fell by only seven points,124- 117. , stIn this meet, the UM swim team came of age? Shook said. ItWelre definite- ly a power now. People have to deal with us. The team has come together and has definitely come out of a dull period. Coming into the meet, I knew we would be competitive. I didnit think it would be this close? 111m confident in say- ing that the menis team Iis the best in the nationlf said Ableman. 8There are a lot of pretty good womenis teams. We have to raise our level of diving for the NCAA Championships. In an over- all sense, Iid say were number one in the nation? Cahalan said that his departure should not affect the program. ttThe program is strong? said Cahalan. tilt will continue as it has been in the past. The only thing changing is myself. We will graduate some seniors, but the pro- gram will rebuild? Preston Mack Kim Small, senior, returned to the team after taking a year off to try out for the Olympic team. 178 The Year In Review By KEVIN BBOGKWAY Lady golfers struggle olstered by two All-Americans, the University of Miami womenls golf team entered the 1992-93 season with high tb V0 ugh Mp-and-down expectations.

Three years of drought have dried up water sup- plies, killed off livestock and destroyed veg- etation in the country reeling also from Civil war and social collapse. The United States began relief airlifts in August, but Somali warlords and bandits continued to steal some 75 percent of relief supplies. It was not until the first of December that the Bush administration offered to send U.S. troops into the desert in cooperation with the United Nations to ensure that relief supplies reached the over seven million starving Somalis. The initial mission of Operation Restore Hope, a U.S.-1ed multinational force, was to provide enough security to permit the deliv- ery of food and other relief supplies. But once the troops were in place, United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali told the Bush administration that he expected the American-led interven- tion force to disarm more or less the entire country. Though the United States remianed uncertain of the military commitment they intended to make while in Somalia, a top U.S. official was quoted in Newsweek as say- ing, 0The rule of the gun has to end in Somalia.

Professor accused of sexual harassment Jiri Valenta, the director of the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies at the Graduate School at International Studies, is accused by students and col- Ieagues nl' indecent behavior By lAIlBIE POWELL Professional Conduct Committee Aof the UM Faculty Senate, investi- gating complaints of sexual harassment against Professor Jiri Valenta, recommended in mid-February that the University continue proceedings against Valenta. Valenta is the director of the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies at the Graduate School of International Studies. Charges against Valenta include mak- ing unwelcome comments on appearance, making propositions and conducting busi- ness with his pants down. The charges were brought by Professor Vendulka Kubalkova, who also claimed Valenta was fraudulent with internal accounts, grants and donations at GSIS and that the payments were made to Valenta and his family members. Valentais lawyer, Kathleen Burgener, stated that Kubalkovais allegations are completely false. In a letter addressed to University Counsel Paul Dee on Dec. 23, Burgener wrote, itDr. Kubalkova is unable to com- pete with Dr. Valenta on the level of pro- fessional credentials, skills, diplomacy and teaching and writing abilities. She has instead pursued the avenue of character assassination? According to Lourdes LaPaz, UM associate general counsel, the University began formal termination of tenure proce- dures following the committees decision. President Edward T. Foote 11 said he agreed with the committees findings. Valenta then brought charges against Kubalkova in civil court. Valentais complaint charges Kubalkova with interference with advan- tageous business, defamation and inva- sion of privacy. In early March, Ana Miyares, a UM employee, and Andrea Ewart-Simon, a graduate international studies student from 1986 to 1989, filed a lawsuit in US. District Court against UM alleging sexual harassment and abuse by Valenta. They are seeking compensatory and punitive damages from the University which they allege was negligent in its hir- ing, retention and suspension of Valenta. The complaint states that Miyares was repeatedly subjected to coercive intercourse, the touching and rubbing of her body in a sexual way and offers from Valenta to engage in group sex. Valenta repeatedly expressed his curiosity about interracial sex to Ewart-Simon, the com- plaint states, and walked around GSIS with his pants open. Despite complaints over a seven-year period by faculty members, graduate stu- dents, work-study students, research assis- tants and secretaries, the suit alleges the University made no effort to investigate until Kubalkova filed a formal suit in February, 1992. with some Views of Reno, a lifelong Democrat, said they trust her to act with integrity and independence and to spurn political pressure. Republican Jesse Helms of North Carolina said of Reno, 91 think this lady is absolutely honorable? Gov. Lawton Chiles appointed Katherine Fernandez Rumdle, who is described as a highly regarded career prose- cutor, as Renois replacement as Dadeis state attorney. Renois confirmation ended a rocky episode for Clinton, who was determined to name a woman as the nationis top law enforcement officer, but saw his first candi- date, and then his second front-runner, derailed by disclosures that they hired undocumented workers for household help. - Compiled from Associated Press reports and stories inThe Miami Herald and Time magazine by Ana Sosa, Danielle Butler and Danielle Parks.

By DANIELLE PARKS le- i: ii E? '2 3,, 1': here are some things that we just take for granted in life. Thousands of students reach for the latest edition of The Miami Hurricane twice a week, and without fail, The Hurricane is there to inform them. Most donlt realize the thought and time that goes into this bi- weekly publication, however. Many just like to read the clas- sifieds. But, behind the scenes of The Hurricane, a small group of stu- dent journalists put in close to 40 hours a week to ensure that their fellow UM students are thin the knowil about everything from the administrationis planned tuition increases to which movies are being screened on campus each week. Editor in chief Allettta Bowers said very few realize what a chore it is to keep up with the news. iiWC work hard to produce the best product we can for the students? she said. thWe try to fulfill our role as the information source for UM happenings? In an attempt to better serve its audience, the staff of The Hurricane introduced a new format to readers with the start of the spring semester. ttOur goal was to increase readability and coverage of campus organizations? Bowers said. we: whirl iguana 4 m munuwmwwm 294 Groups In an attempt to better serve its audience, the staff of The Hurricane introduced a new format to readers with the start of the spring semester. Editors said the goal was increased readability. Improving reader involvement was Bowersi main goal upon being elected to edit the paper for the 1992-93 academic year. ttThere will always be a long way to go, but you work hard to build on your range of coverage every year? she said. One of the greatest rewards for Accent Editor Deborah Moskowitz is being able to reach over 10,000 students through her work. lhThe effort is well worth the results? she said. Moskowitz enjoys seeing peo- ple have a forum to express them- selves on a wide range of subjects. The Hurricane frequently publish- es letters to the editor from stu- dents, professors and administra- tors alike, as well as more in-depth editorial columns that represent student and faculty thoughts and concerns. Bowers said time spent at The Hurricane is often tlthe only way students who plan on going into the field of journalism can get hands on experience? Martin Emeno, a two-year Hurricane veteran who is currently sports editor, said, ttWorking in the real world is a lot different that what you are taught in the class- room? 91n the classroom, they only teach you journalism in an ideal situation, rather than teaching students the problems and adversity that arise in real life situations? Emeno said he feels his obligation to Hurricane read- ers is to cover every sport that the University offers, because most of the time The Hurricane is the only publi- cation that covers the minor sports and intramurals. Bowers assures that although putting out the paper is a lot of hard work, hit definitely pays of f and can be a lot of fun in the process. J.C. Ridley Iami Id, Assistant Sports editor Jason Molinet prepares his page at The M' Hera downtown. Groups 295 Robert Miller n the following pages are the names and faces of the graduating Class of 1993. These students come from all 50 states and siX continents. They have completed under- graduate degree programs in all Of the University Of Miami's 14 colleges and schools. They have all contributed in some way to the history of the University, and they will all be missed. We wish them well.
