Designed by the first woman architect in Florida, Marion 1. Manley, each building is situated so that the complex would maximize wihd currents. The ledges are designed to prevent sunlight from directly shining in at any point Of the day. Before being commissioned to build the apartments, Manley had gained a reputa- tion of designing public buildings and homes suitable for Floridas tropica weather. The School was part Of one 0 seven departments within the School of Engineering and Architecture until the fall Of 1983 when it became the only architecture school in South Florida.

Orientation 1995 was deemed a huge success both by those who took part and those who watched it in action. Program Coordinator Christopher Blahco attributed this success to an energetic Orientation staff of 1 15 devoted members. In fact, Blahoo said that, because of the 1995 Orientation staff, the program was as per- more at home as they befriended the students. Basically, the Orientation staff served students by making easier what can be a scary experience. The first night was highlighted by an annual favorite, The Cane Kick- Off, during which stu- dents first met their Orientation Assistants tgroup leaders, so to speaki. Held on the Intramural Field, this becomes a students first impression of the univer- sityis commitment to the student.

RICHARDS or many, one of the biggest fears about starting college is living in one of the dorms. This is totally, in most cases, unfounded. The experience of living here in one of the Universityis Residential Colleges is, to be rather generic, a once in a lifetime experience. The University of Miami is the proud home to five Residential Colleges. These are: Hecht, Stanford, Eaton, Mahoney, and Pearson. The University is one of only who you live with. In the residential colleges, students may have a roommate, suitemates tin Mahoney, Pearson and Eatoni, their floormates, R.A.is tresident assistantsi, and their Residence Masters and Coordinator all as neighbors. These people all play different roles in the Residential Colleges, but all are equally impor- tant in making the on-campus living experience a pleasant one. R.Afs, students who live on your floor and are employees of the Residential College, five schools in the United States with Residential Colleges, as they are known, and each are dif- ferent in their architectur- al layout, texcept HeCht and Stanford, which are known as the towersi but the same in the types of ,1 people who live there. The people are the most important aspect of Residential College life. Many freshman and some upperolassmen Choose to live in the Residential Colleges just so they can meet new people.

RAYS are there when you need a shoulder to cry on, a friend to laugh with, and someone to understand what is like to be a student away from home for the first time. In addition to all this, R.Afs are also in Charge of planning floor programs for you and all the other stu- dents on your floor to participate in, and to get you motivated in school.

These experiences bring everyone together as a community. But other activities, such as using the bathroom, can bring stu- dents even Closer. In Mahoney, Pearson and Eaton, four individuals shared one bathroom, which made for a learning experience on its own. Although many students had to adapt to sharing, some preferred it to the bathrooms in HeCht and Stanford. But even com- munity bathrooms had their advantages. C a t h e r i n e Papafotis, an R. A. in Hecht, said, ttCommunity bathrooms are the best thing in the world. You can tell so much about a person from when they take a shower. Getting to know some one is as easy as brushing your teeth in a Residential College. You might even become best friends with the person who washes her face at six oiclock, just like you. There are times when everyone wants to be alone, but as social beings we all need human contact, and that is what Residential Colleges are all aboutll 28 F EATURES Benjamin Hines, 7, lives with his parents and two Mahoney Residential College. ilLiving here is a lot of fun, said Ben.

It not only allows students to get the work done, but it also gives them an excuse to avoid eating cafeteria food.

Armed with a vast array of pro- grams and fifteen Pentium PCs, the lab gave Architecture students the technology they needed to create buildings and promote them on the World Wide Web. Juniors Matthew Mankihs and David Lampton started working in the Architecture computer lab when they were freshmen. Mankihs was majoring in Math and Lampton in Audio Engineering, but both had interests in multi-media Web publishing. At the lab, they researched all the lat- est technology and also fixed everything that went wrong. tWheh youtre on the leading edge of technology, youtre on the bleeding edge of technologyk said Mankihs. Open only to Architecture students, the lab contained fif- teeh Pentium PCs at the disposal of the students. The pro- grams ranged from word processing to virtual reality graphics. Using CAD, people could input the model of a building, reholer scenes of the building, and create scenes that walked them through parts of the building. tlt was virtual reality, but in a different 62 ACADEMICS The Microsoft Corporation filmed four minutes of an instructional video at the Architecture Computer Lab.

Students could also scan the image of a building onto the image of a site to show prospective clients what the finished product would look like. And for input on their models and designs, there was a digital studio on-lihe. People all over the world could log on, exam- ihe the models, offer input and advice, and even give a letter grade. And ARC 596 had its syllabus and assignments on-line to be seen. tWe had a whole gamut of cool stuff here? said Mankihs. Their intricate and advanced systems brought the Microsoft Corporation to the University of Miami over the summer of 1995, to shoot four minutes of an informational Video about the NT Operating System, which was used to integrate and link all the programs in use at thelab. So it was only nat- ural that the two students who appeared in the video were the two stu- dents who made sure the lab was always run- ning. Because of the NT system, two students who worked as part-time employees, such as Mankihs ahol Lamptoh, were all that was required. They functioned as the two System Administrators, as opposed to the full-time administrator that used to be required.

As the new clean of the School of Architecture, she helped design the dreams of aspiring UM stu- dents who yearned for a career in this creative field. However, while growing up in Philadelphia, Plater-Zyloerk had dreams of her own. With overwhelming curiosity, she atten- tively watched her father at work with his archi- tectural plah models. As a child, she had already found her calling, even though at that time women were generally at a disadvantage in the profession. tAs a woman in my generation, becom- ing an architect was quite unusual because there were no female role models? said Plater- Zyberk. But, I had the advantage of my father being an architect. I saw his life as an exam- ple, and it was very appealing to me? After sixteen years of teaching and one year of being a clean, the tables have now turned for Plater-Zyloerk. As an educator, she has become the role model that she sought while growing up. Robert Kerr, a senior architecture major, admired his new deah because of the effort she made to talk to students in the program. Even though she had a lousy schedule, she took time out to meet students. It was nice to know that she was there for us? said Kerr. Aside from having to keep up with the stress-ihducihg duties of being a dean, Plater- Zyloerk also had a private architectural firm which she needed to attend to as well. This scenario was a very common one for faculty members in the School of Architecture. tthlost of our faculty had a balancing act of either teaching in research or other activities 64 ACADEMICS the school required of them, and a number of our faculty were involved in teaching and prac- tice? said Plater-Zyberk. So, yes, there were conflicts, but the positive side was what stu- dents gained from the experience of a building architect, which was very important? According to Plater-Zyloerk, students could take advantage of the fact that so many professors have private offices. A majority of architecture students found part-time jobs in these firms which allowed them to work hand- ih-hahol with their mentors in the real world. Such jobs could even take students across the country. Plater-Zyberkis partner, for instance, is planning a job in Utah and will be taking one of her graduatestudehts there for a week. tHell be part of a team working on a pro- ject in Utah. This school has a very good rela- tionship with education and practice. We give students a good balance between these two realms? said Plater-Zyloerk. Kerr agreed that architecture majors had a unique opportunity that many other students did not have. Because most of our professors were professionals and had businesses, we had the relationship between the academic and the real world, and we could always draw parallels? he said. Aside from pairing up students with pro- fessionals, Plater-Zyberk hopes to make a few other improvements during her tenure as dean. ttl think we need to keep striving for excellence. This also means looking to increase the resources of the school- we need more space, but there are facilities like the slide library, the computer lab and the reserve library which are all under great demand to grow and improve by demands from students and faculty.

The School of Education attempted not only to teach their students, but to put their students in teaching situations. This began with the first course in their sequence of study, Teaching and Learning 101. In TAL 101, the social and psychological developments of school Children were studied. Students discovered how social affects have tainted education, and were required to com- plete twelve hours of field experience at West Laboratory Elementary School, adjacent to the university is campus. The School of Education offered degrees in both Elementary and Secondary Education, as well as teaching certificates. What students involved in the program found to be most rewarding was that actual Classroom experi- ence was emphasized from the very first course they took. Most of the education cours- es required outside field experience in one of the many Dade County PUbl'iGwSChOOlS, which gave students a new perspective of teaching from the front of the Classroom. ttThe most rewarding and enjoyable thing about my field experience was that I gained more of an understanding that the student- teacher relationship was a reciprocal one. Both the teachers and the students shared a love for knowledge. If it were not for my field experi- ence, I probably would not have known that fact until I was an actual teacher. For me, field experience emphasized the fact that I really did want to become a teacheri said junior Kimberly Carey, a Primary Education and Psychology major. Student teaching improved School of Education students abilities to foster their love 66 ACADEMICS of knowledge in the students who they taught. In their last semester of their senior year, education students had to perform fifteen weeks of associate teaching in a Dade County Public School. It was a very supervised experi- ence.

They had experience all the way through? Another benefit of the School of Education, according to Fischer, is that it is a small school. Classes averaged about twenty to twenty- f-ive students, and all Classes were taught by professors, not graduate or teaching assistants. Senior Rob DeGennaro did his student teaching at American High School in Miami. DeGennaro worked with tenth-grade English students, and taught them such subjects as Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. ttAfter teaching tenth-graolers, I realized that it was quite a struggle to get them to relate to subjects such as Julius Caesar. Thatis was the hard part of the job for mefi said DeGennaro. For students wishing to continue their education beyond the undergraduate level, the School also offered a special one year Masters program. Students who were accepted into this program received their undergraduate degree after seven semesters. They completed their associate teaching during their first semester as graduate students and left the pro- gram with a Masters degree in Special Education.

He was involved in numerous redesigns of newspa- pers throughout the nation, including El Nueuo Herald and The Miami Herald. And he has lec- tured throughout the United States and the world on pagination, design and art. Staho, 47, who was an adjunct professor at the University of Miami for nine years, was appointed this year to be a Knight Chair, a posi- tion he will hold for three years. He currently teaches three to four classes a semester, including Graphics for Communication Media, Graphics for Promotional Media, Newspaper Editing and Layout, Special Topics in Journalism and Desktop Publishing for Advertising. In August, he resigned as The Heralds art director, a position he had held since June 1985. He came to Miami to redesign both El Nueuo and The Herald, giving them new mast- heads and making them more visually appeal- ing to readers. After Hurricane Andrew, his art department created numerous graphics to por- tray Andrews path of destruction. The team was acknowledged when the paper won a Pulitzer for public service and awarded 33 awards, including tBest of Show? by the Society of Newspaper Design.

To meet the needs of its numer- ous students, the Office of Undergraduate Academic Services developed a unique pro- gram of peer counselors to support its incom- ing freshmen. The main objective of the pro- gram was to instill a sense of belonging for new students and to encourage better commu- nication among business majors. The Peer Counseling Program matched all undergraduate freshmen business majors with a peer counselor with whom they worked the entire year. Students met on a regular basis to discuss a variety of topics including scheduling, problems with professors or Class- es, and other issues involving the adjustment to college life. According to Jeanne Vaida, coordinator of the program, Students were encouraged to meet with their peers and form a bond of trust so that freshmen felt welcome the minute they got to UM? Knowing a veteran student was very beneficial to a new student on campus. Students arrived on campus already knowing at least one person before orientation began. Even before they arrived on campus, peer counselors had contact with their students. Over the summer they were required to make at least one personal contact through the mail. Many peer counselors took that requirement a step further by calling their respective peers on the phone. Most peer counselors found that students asked many more questions over the phone than they would heve been willing to ask by mail correspondence. The phone con- versations allowed the peer counselors to alle- 72 ACADEMICS yiate fears that freshmen might have had and to give personal insight from their own life expenences. The peer counseling program did not just serve as an academic support service for stu- dents. In addition to academic activities, the program sponsored seminars on time, stress, and money management in order to aid the sometimes rough transition from high school to coHege. The staff of the program was made up of School of Business Administration Academic Aolvisor Jeanne Vaiola, Graduate Assistant Chris Colbert, and four Group Coordinators. However, the driving force behind the program was the counselors. These forty students ded- icated themselves to making college life run smoother for their group of freshmen. Both counselors and their peers matured through the experience. - This year the number of peer counselors decreased by half from the previous year. Although the counselors had more students, they were more carefully selected. This selec- tivity was beneficial to the students who need- ed guidance at a difficult transition period in their lives.

After the preliminary round in Miami, she traveled to New York City two months later for the semi-finals and then to Philadelphia for the final round of competition. According to Lopez, the average contes- tant was between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty. This is why she was so proud of the fact that at age nineteen she could match up to more seasoned, experienced performers. Even more impressive was the fact that she had only been singing for four years. In fact, her decision to pursue a singing career was more of a revelation than a long-term dream. ttWhen I was younger I played viola and I thought I'd do more instrumental workf, said Lopez.

Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1955, Gryb spent most of his youth hear Atlantic City, where his interest in music could be nurtured. It was fostered at a very early age by his father, who kept an extensive collection of virtually every kind of music available on record. At age teh, during the British Invasion, Gryb learned to play the guitar, and he began work- ihg professionally at fifteen. Now he can play string instruments, piano, and drums, including the many different percussion instruments that make up his exotic international collection. Percussion music is the kind he enjoys most. In 1974, Gryb moved to Miami to attend the University of Miami. He earned his Bachelors and his Masters of Music in Jazz, although his true specialty is twentieth century music in general. Disihterested in the standard lecture format for music appreciation classes, he pioneered the multi-media format of video, audio, live demonstration and lecture, which he uses how. ttl tried to make it entertaining and educa- tional as well, to stimulate interest in the 76 ACADEMICS music? he said.

He has also con- ducted clinics for other professors to show them how to teach music in a way that will make students pay attention and learn. Students seemed to appreciate his teaching methods. The class was informative and fun. I was able to listen to a variety of different music? said Edwards. ttProfessor Gryb was very knowledgable about everything he taught us? , Besides teaching classes here and at Barry University, Gryb writes original jazz com- positions and conducts music lessons for chil- dren in libraries and in parks. He also plays in several bands and performs once or twice a month at concerts and outdoor festivals such as the Coral Gables International Festival of Crafts, which took place in November. As for rock and roll, Grybis preferred artists were like the syllabus for the class: bro- ken down into several eras, and somewhat eclectic. For the blues, which was the root of rock and roll, he liked Louis Jordan because the music was energetic. For later rock, he liked Chuck Berry. As for the more recent rock and roll, Gryb said he did not have any favorites. ttNowf said Gryb, ttthe music is so frag- mented. Thereis ho defining voice? But the one common link throughout all rock and roll, as well as country music and soul music, was its roots in the blues. This was why Gryb has designed a new course, called History of the Blues? According to Grylo, his two passions, teaching and performing, are definitely related. ltA great teacher is a performer? he said.

Think back. The questions can run the gamut. All joking aside, however, being a freshman can be, for some, an overwhelming experience. College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean Rita Deutsch saw an opportuni- ty three years ago to help ease the transition process. Student Government approached her with the suggestion of instituting a mentor pro- gram which would pair freshman who have declared majors with upper-class students seeking a degree in the same majors. Today, we call this The DSBHS Corps Program. This was similar to The Peer Advisors Program Dean Deutsch also oversaw. According to Deutsch, the main difference between the programs was that The DGEIYTS Corps was more unstructured sihce participat- ing upper-class students gave their time freely, and were essentially on their own. This dif- fered from The Peer Advisors Program, where participating students received credit in Psychology Practicum for their work which was structured to more readily fit a classroom format. Each Deans Corps advisor received the names of seven or eight freshmen with their same major at the beginning of the year. During academic orientation, the advisors met with their respective students, addressing any questions and establishing an open relation- ship in which the new students had a resource person at their disposal to help guide them through their first year in their intended course 80 ACADEMICS of study. Throughout the course of the year, Deans Corps members kept in periodic contact with their ttadviseesi touching base from time to time to see how they were adjusting to col- lege. During academic advising and registra- tioh periods, Deahis Corps members made time to advise students in selecting new cours- es. Kara Stahdeh, a senior double-majorihg in International Studies and Political Science, was a Peer Advisor last year, and was a Deahis Corps member this year who said it is a tworth- while program useful to freshmen lih a particu- lar majorl. It is nice to hear it from someone before walking into it blind? Last year, she advised social scienceruhdeclared pre-med majors. In her role this year, ttlherl kids have a major? political science. Although the individual relationships between advisor and each individual student depends on individual personalities, the pro- gram works because some students are, for lack of a better way of saying it, lost. Stahdeh said, ttWheh a new student asks How do I pihk-sheet a course? or How do I get writing credit?, they usually find out that You have to do this and fill out this formf Students can be overwhelmed, especially when they look back and say What? WEIGHT you?i Deah Deutsch hopes the future of the DGBWS Corps Program is marked by even greater efficiency. She wants all declared majors to have an upper-class student working with them. But, she said, tPerfection is not possible? she claims. It can be difficult, she adds, to give structure to an unstructured program? Regardless, structured or hot, the pro- gram works and does so well.

From football games to fraternity parties, the diversions were endless. But as the middle of the semester approached and academic defi- ciencies were mailed out, many students real- ized that they needed help if they were going to pass their first year. The Master Tutor Program, which was started in 1987, is funded through the College of Arts and Sciences. The program worked out of the Ashe Building, room 203. The program was designed to help mostly first-year stu- dents who were in ,. danger of failing one or more of their class- , esf said Noelle Bowles, who served as Coordinator of the Master Tutor Program this year. Just who were these scholastic say- iors? The people who tutored were primarily undergraduate stu- dents who had passed the course that they were tutoring with a 8+ or higher, and who also had at least a 3.0 GPA. Derek Anderson, a group tutor for Economics, usually led a three-hour session each week. He started tutoring to help others. work that goes on there. 82 ACADEMICS The diagrams on the chalkboard in the Mahoney Study Lounge serve as a testament to the hard They asked me if lid do it, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to help my peersi saiol Anderson. Tutors also benefited from helping others get through their Classes. Anderson got the benefits of both knowledge and experience by tutoring. t1 actually learned a lot alsof said Anderson. t1 kept going over this stuff that I learned a year and a half ago? They also learned, through firsthand experience, how to lead a small Class and how to teach. It was very rewarding, and some- . times a bit frustrating. Sometimes it was difficult to try to express this stuff to them in a way that they could com- prehend it? Anderson explained. The program was specifically suited to the college SiUdGll'VS bud- getEit was free. Tutoring was usually done on a one-on-one basis in libraries or study lounges, but there were also group sessions for certain Classes led by a Master Tutor. These tutoring sessions were held in Residential College libraries and the University Center. For their efforts, tutors were 2 paid by the University of Miami. Ohe-Oh-Ohe tutors were paid five dol- lars an hour. Group tutors were also paid that amount if no one showed up to the group ses- Photo by John Dodds Sophomore Vipul Thakkar helps another student study for an upcoming examination in CHM 201, Organic Chemistry, one of the many courses for which Master Tutors were available. sions, which were open to anyone who need- ed any kind of help in that subject. If people did show up, the group tutors were paid ten dollars an hour to lead the study group and help people with any questions that they may have had. The Master Tutor Program was available to all undergraduate students, though many of its users were first-year students. Because Of the affiliation with the College of Arts and Sciences, many Of the subjects that had tutors available were 100- or ZOO-leyel Classes in the natural sciences, mathematics, and foreign lah- guages. Group sessions were Offered in basic Math, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. But ' because Of the high demand for tutoring in all Photo by John Dodds areas, the program has expanded to include some basic Classes in Business, Communications, and Music Theory. Signing up to get tutored was a simple process. Students needed to get their profes- sor to fill out a sigh-up slip which was returned the slip to the Master Tutoring office. Bowles theh assigned each student to a tutor. The stu- dent and the tutor could then set up a time and place to meet for tutoring. But, cautioned Bowles, it was best not to wait too long to sign up. By mid-semester, there was a two to three week waiting list to get a tutor. Apparently, there were many stu- dents who decided to do the smart thing and take advantage Of this valuable service. it ACADEMICS 83 Hammer AW HMBWACQT New program integrates engineering and CemmUhiCatiehs .Y CHRISTINA A.

As one of those projects, they had a competition in which they designed and built a model-size bridge on the first day of Classes.

According to a College of Engineering memo, this course exposed students to t the engineering working environment by incorporating legal aspects, ethics, engineering economy and administra- tion, occupational safety and health require- ments, and environmental and resources cori- siderationsii Over 100 incoming freshmen applied for a spot in the program, but only thirty-two stu- dents, or about one-fifth of the colleges fresh- men enrollment, could participate. The thirty- two students were divided into eight groups, each consisting of four students. Each group was assigned to a work station that included a computer and other appropriate tools neces- sary to assist with their design projects.

The audience greeted the band with an unyielding nostalgia for famed artistry and the sounds of well-traveled troubadours gently preaching their experience. An hour before the start Of the concert, a line had already been formed by eager fans that reached far beyond the entrance to the Patio. As soon as the entrance opened to the students, they rushed in droves to get as Close to the stage as possible. Soon after, without an introduction, the Violent Femmes overtook the stage and dove into their first song. The 2,200 students present at the con- Cert were instantly transported. However, after the concert, singerrsorigwriter Gordon Gaho revealed his initial concern at the start of the concen. Gaho said, iWere somewhat spoiled because were used to people going wild. This 90 HOMECOMIN G iolent BS was a little awkward at the beginning. But after we got warmed up, and the crowd warmed up, everything seemed to go well?

The students kept up with the modern- day concert etiquette and showed their appre- ciation by body surfing. In turn, the band brought its audience into the concert through personal interaction, an art which is surely dying. The night turned out to be extremely sat- isfying for all involved.

OMAHA AGAIN The Hurricanes, in the College World Series for the second straig year, fall two wins short of the national title and finish in third plac . By RICK GOLD MAHA, Neb. - All that the University Of Miami baseball team from a hatioria Championship were two vic- tories, but the University of Southern California had Other ideas. The Trojans took two straight from the Hurricanes before losing in the Championship game to Cal-State Fu lerton to send UM home with a third-place finish in the 1995 College World Series. Miami seemed to be in the drivers seat after beating USC and Florida State University in its first two games Of the series. Needing to beat USC to advance to the national title game, the Hurricanes est a because they could not get the big hit when it 220 SPORTS counted. UM tied the University Of Tennessee for third in the series and finished the season ranked third in the nation in the USA Today Coaches, Poll. Miamiis overal record of 48-17 against the second toughest schedule in the nation put it behind only USC and Champion Cal-State Ful erton. tltis tough to ose a series like this when you look back and rea ize that you were two wins from winning the hatiOha Championship? UM coach Jim Morris said. tBut weive had a great season. We battled the entire year and 1m very proud of this team? In the first ass to the Trojans, Miami fe behind early and fought to get back in the ame, but could not pul it out as USC he d on for a 7-5 victory. The second defeat was even more disheartening as UM left the bases oaded twice in the middle to ate innings and ended up with a 7-3 loss. tThereis no doubt we had our Opportuni- ties to score in the middle innings? Morris said. tYouive got to hit with runners on base and we just didnt get that olonef The trip to Omaha was Morris second in his two seasons at the helm of the Hurricanes. In his first series appearance he was admitted- ly nervous as UM dropped two of three games to tie for fifth place. This year I was much more relaxed and I felt the players were, too? Morris said. ttI felt if we played loose it would help us. Thereis no question it helps having played in front of 20,000 people last year, even though we play in front of great crowds at homefl Miamihacl a tough time keeping up with USCis offehse, which pounded out a Series- record 14 home runs and tied a record with 54 r u h s s c o r e d .

USC also had a significant advan- tage in that much of its power was left-haholed and that the wind was blowing out to right. 0 Even shortstop Alex Cora, who has not hit a home run in two seasons at UM, hit one ball to the fence in right field that looked like it was going out.

W ttttt , MWWWW Coach Jim Morris f3l has led the Hurricanes to the College World Series in each of his first years at Miami. The Hurricanes finished two wins away from the national championship. T h 6 But the last two games the wind was only blowing out to right, and our power- hitters are mostly right-haholeolf UMfs victory over the Trojans in round one was an uncharacteristic 15-10 slugfest that was perhaps the most memorable game in the entire series.

SPORTS 22 l In a nationally televised blowout, the Hurricanes never really had a Chance. J DEREK HARPER ASADENA, Calif., sept. 2 2 Eight months of hype, hysteria, anol uncer- tainty boiled down to three hours of disaster in the nationally televised season opener at the Rose Bowl as the University of Miami was ME-m hammered 31-8 by UCLA. Butch Davis debut as easy to forget, despite how much he would Hurricane coach will not be 222 SPORTS like to wipe the memory from his mind forever. No one could predict how the revamped Miami squad would perform for their new coach, but few could have speculated such an over- whelming embarrassment. Miami linebacker Ray Lewis said a team needs to Click on offense, defense, and special teams to be successful in any contest. He failed to mention what happens if all three fail to show up. The Hurricanes came? into the Rose Bowl and were drubbeol in every conceivable aspect of the game, Ryan Collins started at quarterback and gave a less than inspiring performance, special teams let big plays and mental errors give UCLA the crucial emotional edge in the second half and the defense finally gave in after a stellar first half. tltis a learning experience? Davis said. Well get better from whatever happened tonight? It would be hard for the Hurricanes to go much further downhill. After an off-season of allegations and investigations by the NCAA, this game was Miamiis first Chance to show a nationwide audience on ABC that it had been kicked but not beateh. Instead the yauhted Hurricanes put up a yawn-ihspirihg first half and received a downright pasting for the remaining 30 minutes. Leading 3-0 at halftime, UCLA took advantage of a crucial mental error by UMfs Earl Little to spark a second-half explosion which accounted for 21 uhahswered points before Miami scored their first points of the season. The Bruins received the second half kiCk-off but were forced to puht after a short five-play drive. What appeared to be Miamiis Chance to atone for a sluggish first half turned into a nightmare wheh Little attempted to field Chris Sailors bouncing puht at the four yard line. The ball fumbled through Littleis hahds who was then promptly drilled by the Bruins Donnie Edwards as teammate Abdul McCullough pounced on the ball in the end zone for the games first touchdown. Trailing 10-0 and forced to play catCh-up, Miami abandoned the running game in an effort to get the passing game working. The attempt was futile, however, as the Hurricanes were unable to sustain any substantial drives in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Bruins continued to pound away at Miamiis defense. Juhior Ryah Fieh was thought to be susceptible to the Miami defehse because of his inexperience, but he was hardly tested. After opening up a big lead, the Bruins opted to keep the ball on the ground as Fieh attempted only five second half passes, finishing with 74 yards on 10-17 passing. All-Americah tailback Karim Abdul- Jabbar finished with a game-high 180 yards on 29 carries, scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and put the game on ice for the Bruins. ttlf you want to talk about my perfor- mance, you have to talk about the five guys in front of mef, Abdul-Jabbar said. They opened gaping holes for me, anyone could have run behind these guys tonight? It really dilei matter what the Bruins did on offense at that point because Miami could not find their rhythm when they had the ball. After overthrowing numerous open receivers in the first half, Collins panicked in the second and began scrambling often to avoid the UCLA rush. He would finish with 188 yards passing and a touchdown on 17-33, but most of Collins humbers came after the outcome had been decided. Behind Collihs, things were falling apart as well. The debut of the muCh-talked about two-back offense was uneventful at best as tail- back Dahyell Ferguson finished with 69 yards on 16 carries. The Hurricanes offensive woes were compounded by a torn Achilles tendon to fullback Kevin Brihkworth, who was lost for the remainder of the season. The Hurricanes would eventually score their first points of the season in the fourth quarter on a ten yard reception by Syii Tucker from Collins, but it was far too little far too late. A season of hope began with despair at UCLA. Punter Mike Crissy fopposite leftl was in near tears on the sidelines while linebacker Ray Lewis tabovei could not shut down the Bruin offense.

Ridley SPORTS 223 By RICK GOLD IAMI, Sept. 9 - After a humbling loss in its season opener, the University of Miami took the field against Florida A81M at the Orange Bowl looking for blood. When the dust settled, the Hurricanes had their first win under head coach Butch Davis, a 49-3 BATTLERS E drubbing of the Rattlers in mm front of 57,721 fans. Blessed with a less than intimidating opponent, UM was given the opportunity to fine tune its game and wash the bitter taste of defeat from UCLA out of its mouth. Against the Rattlers, the Hurricanes improved dramatically in every facet, from offense to defense to special teams. tilt was gratifying to finally see everything we worked on over the summer finally pay off Davis said. They were all embarrassed about how they played against UCLA, but they made some big time plays in this one. I was very pleased with the way they played? Playing in front of an Orange Bowl crowd seemed to energize the team, which showed much more emotion than it did a week earlier in its loss to the Bruins. ttEveryone played with emotiortf line- backer Ray Lewis said. tWe didnt say that we would do this or we would do that. We just came out and played. Everybody flew around the ball and picked up their game? 224 SPORTS Butch Davis gets the first win of his coaching career as UM dominates Florida A8tM, a Division I-AA school more renowned for its band than its football team. Davis said that the level of excitement against the Rattlers also had a lot to do with the teams higher level of play. Uust like attitude, emotion is contagiousf Davis said. tUhfortuhately against UCLA we didnt really do anything that we could get excited about, but this week was different? The biggest improvement in this game was on UMis special teams. After a botched punt return and uninspired returh coverage aided three Bruih scores in the season opener, the Hurricanes special teams made their pres- ence known in a much more positive way against FAMU. Six of the Rattlers 12 drives began inside their own 20-yard line: Omar Rolle blocked a punt, Nathaniel Brooks forced a fumble on a FAMU punt return and Tony Gaiter returned a punt 46 yards for a score. til denit think that there is any team that devotes as much time to special teams as we do? Brooks said. tLast week was a total disaster, but we got together this week and decided that things would be different? Another turnaround for UM in the game was the emergence of the new two-back offense. Despite an injury-riddled and primarily inexperienced offensive line, Danyell Ferguson rushed for 99 yards in the first half and 129 in the game. Trent Jones added 50 yards in limited action and Dyral McMillan was impressive in his debut, running for 32 yards with a touch- down on seven carries. ttl feel like we truly established our run- ning game and that it was a great boost for the team? Ferguson said. Things were Clicking and last week is forgotten. I dent care if we play against Florida A8LM or Florida State. If we play like we did today against any team, well win? Because the Hurricanes built a 28-0 lead only five minutes into the second quarter, they were able to get game experience for fresh- men such as McMillan as well as quarterbacks Ryan Clement and Scott Covington. Clement threw a 40-yard bomb to Yatil Green that was a yard shy Of the end zone and was effective in relief Of starter Ryan Collins, and Covington completed two of three passes for 20 yards in his first college game. Clement said that before the game the plan was for him and Covington to get into the game early and often. Davis backed up the statement and explained that it was important for both players to get in the game. tWe played them to get them game expe- rience because we may need them before the season is over, Davis said. ttWeire going to play to win each game, and whoever we need to get the job done will play. That could be anybody at any given time? The Hurricanes had an easy time in coach Butch Davisl ttop leftl first career win. The offense ran all over a porous Rattler defense, like Trent Jones run tleftl, while the defense tabovel barely missed a tackle against the Division l-AA squad.

Students danced on the grass, hanging from the goal- posts and piling on top of each other like never before. m. The Hokies had just pu lied off a 13- 7 upset of the Miami Hurricanes, ensuring they would share the Big East title with UM when the season ended and play in the Sugar Bowl once the NCAA imposed its loowl loan on the Hurricanes. But this was a game of historic propor- tions for the Hokies who, despite missing four field goals in the game, came away with their first victory against Miami in 13 tries. More disheartening for the Hurricanes il- 21, who suffered their first loss to an unranked team since 1984 tending a string of 71 straight viotoriesi, was that the season olidriit seem like it could get better.

Quarterback Ryah Clement, in for the injured Collins, guided the Hurricanes down- field with 23 seconds left to try for the game- winner on a 4th-ahd-20 play on the Hokiesi 34- yard line.

Until the last six minutes of Miamiis 17-16 victory over the University of Pittsburgh, the futility that had plagued the Hurricanes in the early part of the season was back again.

This time, the Hurricanes did not get manhandled on defense by the Panthers, hold- ing Pitt to 232 yards overall and buckled down in key drives to hold Pitt to field goals instead of turning recovered fumbles into touchdowns. The defense played exceptional? said defensive end Kenny Holmes. tWe are playing much more together than before. Everybody is doing their responsibilities.

UM nearly got beaten because of the fumbled returns of Magic Benton who was called into return duty when Tony Gaiter suf- fered a hip pointer. Benton muffed two punts and a kickoff, setting up two of Pitts field goals. tAs exciting as Magic is at times, hes got to learn to make better decisions? said Davis. When a team like Miami beats a 2-6 Pittsburgh team that dwells among the dregs 0f the Big East Conference by a mere point, there is little reason to rejoice. After turning the ball over five times to Pittsburgh - three fumbles and two interceptions a the Hurricanes could only breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless of how significantly the NCAAis pending sanctions weighed on the University of Miamiis mind, the Hurricanes would rather have been less erratic in their 36-12 victory m over Temple. UM was far from stun- ning in the first half, but got its act together in the second half in time to finish off the perenni- al doormat of the Big East.

On UMls first play from scrimmage, quar- terback Ryan Clement threw the ball deep for wide receiver Jammi German, who streaked into the end zone for a 77-yard touchdown catch and a 7-0 lead. German would fin- ish the game with six catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns, a performance which was perhaps his best game as a Hurricane. The game earned him Big East Offensive Player of the Week honors, an award which no other UM player had received all season. Davis said that it was just another mile- stone in a season in which German began to come into his own as a receiver. tJammi continues to improve by leaps and bounds? Davis said. He has done the three things that are vital to being a great receiver. He blocks very well, he is able to run for a big gain after the catch and he goes all out even when he knows he is not getting the Temple quarterback Henry Burris.

The game had all the makings of a blowout, but then the Hurricane offense decid- ed to take a little nap. After Temple showed some life with a field goal, Miami graciously ran only five plays before giving it the ball back. UM stopped the Owls but did not score in its next possession, and before they knew it, the Hurricanes were losing 10-7 to one of the worst teams in Division l-A football. Falling behind against Temple seemed to provide a wake-up call as the Hurricanes responded with a 65-yard touchdown drive capped by a 23-yard TD run by running back Danyell Ferguson. A 76-yard march on the next possession gave UM a 20-12 advantage going into halftime. The defense stepped up in the second half while the offense simply put things away. Dane Prewitt kicked a 35-yard field goal, Clement snuck one yard into the end zone for a score and backup quarterback Scott Covington hit German for a 30-yard score. The Hurricane pass rush had improved steadily over prior weeks, but finally hit pay dirt with nine sacks, two of them coming from defensive end Kenny Holmes. tWe were waiting forever to have a game like that?

By RICK GOLD IAMI, NOV. 4 - In winning three straight games going into its football game with Baylor University at the Orange Bowl, the University of Miami football team had made great strides offensively and defensively but were still unable to Claim a victory mm against a truly respectable team. That finally Changed as the Hurricanes battered the nations fourth best defense for a 35-14 victory in their last n0n-conference game. At 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Big East, UM put itself in position to make a serious run at another conference Championship as well as a bowl bid. The Hurricanes overcame a sluggish start to get in the end zone on three straight possessions in the second and third quarters. In all UM ran off 35 unanswered points after the Bears scored ten minutes into the game. tWe knew what to expect from their defense, we just made a few mistakes early, quarterback Ryan Clement said. 11As the game went on we started to feel really confident. This is a vastly different team, and if everyone continues to do their job we are going to get a lot better? Running back Danyell Ferguson turned in what UM coach Butch Davis called his finest performance in a Miami uniform. Ferguson car- ried the ball 18 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Ferguson was the first Hurricane to rush for three scores since James Stewart accom- plished the feat last season against Georgia 236 SPORTS Tony Gaiter returns a kick against Baylor.

Four minutes into the second quarter, Baylor quarter- back Jeff Watson was picked off by UM oorherback Carlos Jones, who returned the pass 34 yards to tie the game at 7-7. fit was a three-step drop by the quarterback and a hitch move by the receiver, Jones said. They tried it earlier in the game, so I was looking for it and sure enough when I looked back at the quarterback the ball was coming right at me? After stopping the Bears on their next two possessions, UM then began to move the ball. A 36-yard pass from Clement to wide receiver Yatil Green and a 10-yard touchdown run up the middle by Ferguson highlighted a seven play, 69-yard drive. The Hurricanes then opened up the second half with a 68-yard drive that ended in a one-yard run by Ferguson. After a three-ahd-out by the Bears, UM theh scored again as Ferguson blew by everybody to score untouched from 39 yards away and put Miami up 28-7. Early on, the Hurricane defense was unable to contain running back Stephen Douglas, yielding 42 yards to Douglas in the first quarter alone. But after that, the UM run defehse tightened up, holding Douglas to just 12 yards for the rest of the game. UMls secondary also had a standout game, limiting three Bear quarterbacks to 12 completions in 36 attempts for only 126 yards. Linebacker Twah Russell said that the pass defense was a result of everyone contributing. tflf it wasnt our defensive backs knocking down passes, it was our defensive lihemeh batting them down, Russell said.

And its too unsettling to the team if the head coach is too excited, even if its posi- tive emotion. It adds to the pandemonium. You have to keep a Clear head. If the coach is out of control, how can he demand his players be in control? I had to act as if I expected to win. And I did expect to win? And after Prewitt came through in the Clutch, the mistakes and inconsistencies that had plagued Miami throughout its season were again forgotten for the day. til caused us some problems in other games? kicker Dane Prewitt said. tYou could call it redemption or you could call it doing what I was supposed to do?

The entire defense had to be inspired by the play of Lewis, who did not start because of two sprained ankles but was forced into action when fellow linebacker Twan Russell injured his shoulder in the first quarter. Lewis ended up with a team-high 15 tackles despite wearing a flexible cast on one foot. tHe is so courageous that you are going to have to drag him off the field for him not to play?

On Miamiis second and third posses- sions of the game, Ferguson got the ball play after play, and the Orangemeh could not stop him. In the Hurricanes second touchdown drive alone, Ferguson had 10 carries for 65 yards. UM was hot fazed by its halftime deficit as it came out on fire in the third quarter. The Hurricanes needed only nine plays to take the ball 77 yards into the end zone, tih- ishing with a four-yard Ryah Clement touch- down pass to tight end Syii Tucker. The Hurricanes got the ball back quickly enough for Clement to engineer a 15-play, 82- yard drive that took over six minutes off the Clock and gave the Hurricanes a 28-24 lead, their first of the game. Clement said that he had relished the opportunity to play again in front of a national audience after Miami lost twice before on TV. tFihally, we got the Chance to show the nation we can still play football down here, and I think we did it in fine fashion? Clement said. iWeive worked really hard this year? A 25-yard touchdown pass from running back Dyral McMillan to receiver Omar Rolle on a halfback Option play gave UM some insur- ance in the fourth quarter as the defense stood its ground. Tremaih Mack continued to shine on spe- cial teams with a blocked field goal and was also impressive on defense with his first two career interceptions, including a spectacular Ohe-hahded diving catch Of a pass early in the fourth quarter.

Coaches named Costa the No. 1 quarterback, but had to admit Collins was a Close No. 2, setting up a showdown in the fall. In Ericksorrs eyes, the show- down hever materialized and Costa was awarded the job. But Costa suffered the indig- hity of a 28-10 defeat at the hands of Florida State on Oct. 9, 1993. With an off week to compete for the job fol- lowing the loss, Collihsi patience was finally rewarded. He was named the starter against Syracuse. The Hurricanes, invigorated by Collins at the helm, bowled over the Orangemeh 49-0 and then posted three more impressive victories over Big East foes before traveling to Morgantown, W.Va. for the confer- ence title game. Destiny awaited Collins and Co. in the form of a debilitating 17-14 loss to the Mountaineers, a loss that cost UM a shot at the national title, the Big East Championship and uhdermihed its quarterback situation once more.

FRIENDS AND F0155 Story by DARIN KLAHR Photos by WILLIAM LAl SCOTT COVINGTON The careers and friendships of Ryan Clement and Scott Covington will always be intertwined by their competition for UMis top QB spot. hen they came to the University of Miami as two of the most high- ly regarded quarterback recruits in the country, Ryan Clement and Scott Covington hoped the friendship they quickly forged would survive the inevitable bat- tles for the starting quarterback job. And through every step of their college careers, they have had to battle each other, whether it was for avoiding a redshirt last sea- son or for backing up senior Ryan Collins this year Along the way, that friendship has been tested, but never more severely than this sea- son. With senior Ryan Collins out for the year after separating his shoulder against Virginia Tech, Clement and Covington were asked to share the seniors duties, to alternate taking snaps each quarter. ttThatis awkward, to say the least? Covington said. ttA lot of people forget about the fact that as a quarterback, you need a rhythm, and its hard to have one when guys are switching in and out and back and forth? Though Clement, a sophomore, and Covington, a redshirt freshman, were told by UM coach Butch Davis that theyiol play in RYAN CLEMENT every remaining game when Collins got hurt, Clement emerged by seasons end. 7 By the last two games, Covington didnit enter the game at all. Davis indecision did not leave either quar- terback very happy. tTve got to admit when you go in there and you throw three touchdown passes and you feel good about things, its hard to get back into the flow when you go out and then in again? Clement said after he alternated with Covington in the Rutgers game. ti wont use that as an excuse because if youire not in the flow, you better get into it. Right now, Fm just having a lit- tle trouble with that? He and Covington are both having trouble with the current quarterback situation, both measuring their words carefully so as not to step on their friends shoes. But they are tight- ing to keep that off-field friendship. ttOnCe I leave this locker room, footballs pretty much done? said Covington whose play- ing time dwindled as the season went on. til canit carry stuff that happened out of here because its really not good for the team? They shared a dorm suite last year and still room on the road. But both say their conversa- tions rarely address the quarterback situation. ttWe talk only in subtle ways about itf Covington said. tilt kind of has to be. This is a situation where nothing has really been estab- lished and neither of us really know where we are?

Chad Pegues was only a few years old at the time, watching his father, Rod Pegues, guide the Sooners offense to touchdowns in the early 1980s. But those football memories are his earliest ones, igniting in him the love of the game - and of his father - that propelled him to the starting lineup this year for the Hurricanes, making him the first true freshman to start at defensive tackle for the Hurricanes since Derwin Jones did it in 1984. fl always wanted to be like my dadf Chad Pegues said, starting in his first college game because injuries sidelined the three other tackles. ffHeis a real big factor in my life as far as football goes.

The UM student turneol Olympic swim- mer had a tough time adjusting to life at the University of Miami after leaving his home in Budapest, Hungary. Deutsch, who is a key member of the Hurricane swim team, recalls one instance when the transition to the US. was especially awkward. ttOne of the first days I arrived at this country, I went to a bookstorei Deutsch explained. tAnd I knew some limited English so I had some idea of what I was talking about. I was looking for erasers but I learned the wrong word for them in school? When Deutsoh could not find the school supplies, he mistakenly asked the salesperson where he could find trubbersf believing that was the English word for erasers. Then the salesperson asked me, tYouive been here for two days only and already youive hooked up with a girl? Deutsch said. At that point, Deutsch still olidnit quite understand what had been lost in the transla- tion. . However, when the salesman showed him a package of prophylactios, Deutsch blushed and explained that the condoms were not likely to help him with his homework. Whatever is lost in the language isnlt lost in the water. Once he is immersed in competi- tion, Deutsohis swimming talents supersede all cultures and languages. According to Deutsch, 256 SPORTS swimming is the only moment that he can properly communicate to others his love of the sport and his desire for victory. His skill and perseverance as a swimmer has even taken him as far as the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona where he placed sixth in the medley competition and seventh in the backstroke. He will also be competing for Hungary in this summers Olympics in Atlanta. Ironically enough though, Deutsch almost didnt take up swimming at all. When a coach first approached him about the sport, he wasnt too enthusiastic. t1 didnt feel like swimming at all, and I didnt know too much about swimming? Deutsch said. fWhen I was eight years old, I went to see a coach who was already famous and was coaching all the world Champions at that time. He asked me if I liked swimming, and I said I diolnt know what it was like to be a . swimmer. Then, I thought, Lets give it a shot? The coach gave him a trial period of two weeks to see whether or not he liked the sport. After the two weeks were up, Tamas enjoyed swimming so much he decided to stick to it for the next 18 years. ' The 26-year-old swimmer still recalls his first meet as well. tilt was a pre-Olympics event for age group swimmers and I swam backstroke, and I didnt even have a racing suit yet, so I just bor- rowed one from my coach? Things have changed since then for the swimmer whose specialty is the backstroke. At the University of Miami, Deutsohis preoccu- patiohs involve preparing for the 1996 Summer Olympics rather than worrying about whether he has swimming gear handy for an event. While Deutsch traihs three hours a day at the UM pool, he is haunted by the constant reminder that Atlanta will be his final chance of capturing an Olympic gold medal. He has decided to retire at the ripe age of 26 after he competes for his country this summer. tWheh youire 26 or 27 is usually the best time to retire? he said. ttAhol 11m happy because I think live achieved some of my goals.

He ' kept the university financially afloat and saw it begin to flourish until his death in 1952. Born in 1885, Ashe was the son Of a minister and a public school teacher. He graduated from a preparatory school and attended college. He interrupted his uni- versity education and lived in California where he worked for a construction company and was a teacher. He decided to return to college and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor Of Science degree in econom- lCS. Bowman Foster Ashe Ashe was an unconventional president. He believed that ho curriculum 'was perfect. He was a strong advocate for continuing edu- cation. He wanted students to progress at their own rate in acquiring the knowledge and personal growth before graduating from the University. The University went into financial trouble for the first time when it filed bankruptcy in 1932. In 1934, Dr. Ashe, as leader of the University of Miami, Ihc. bought back the uni- versity for $15,758.84 - slightly less than todayis tuition. For some time it was difficult for the University to receive any government aid or loans. Originally the presidents salary began at $10,000 a year; however, during the early years of the Depression he was paid between $3,000 and $4,000 a year. Ashe, as well as the next two presidents, lived at 2475 274 FLASHBACK South Bayshore Drive, a four-acre estate donat- ed by William T. Grant. Several times Ashe tried acquiring the Biltmore Hotel and converting it into a univerSi- ty; however, faculty and administrators were hesitant to try to convert another hotel to edu- cational properties, especially after undergoing the same process with the Anastasia Building. Eventually, the Biltmore became the Veterans Administration Hospital during the World War 11 years. Sir Winston Churchill was granted an honorary Doctor of Law degree by President Ashe at a con- vocation in the Orange Bowl on February 26, 1946. Photo by Keri White taken from the 1965 Ibis Following Bowman Foster Ashe7s lead, UM presidents Pearson, Stanford and Foote have continued the University7s tradition of excellence. ay F. W.

During the nine years at the helm Of the school, Pearson saw the school grow by 4023 from 10,000 to 14,000 enrollment. The undergraduate honors program, currently One of the largest in the country, began and graduate and doctorate curriculum was started. Many of todays build- ings were finished in the Pearson years, includ- ing the J.

Today, there are 25 social Greek fraternities and sororities. About 1573 of the students at the University Of Miami are Greek. Yet, there are things that are quite similar. Greeks had rush parties to recruit pledges; they had social events, such as a Pedges on Parade dance and Homecoming. They were actively involved in all aspects Of student life from publications to phi ahthropies to student government leadership. In 1928, about half of al womeh enrolled 276 FLASHBACK in the University belonged to a sorority hatiOha and five oca groups. The first nation- a sorority to receive a charter at the university was Chi Omega 1936 even though it had been on campus for 10 years, fo lowed by De ta Zeta 1937; locally known as Beta Phi Alpha which started in 1929. pha Epsilon Phi 1938 was the Oldest sorority on campus until the chapter was closed two years ago. Also in 1938, Zeta Tau Alpha formerly known as Sigma Pi, 1927 and Kappa Kappa Gamma Lambda Phi, 1926 received their hatiOha charters; these two sororities are on campus today a though Zeta surrendered its charter in 1969 and reestablished it in 1991. The newest sorority on campus is Gamma Phi Beta, which was established on campus in 1992. Before moving into the Pahhellehic Building, the tshacksi were the first home on campus to sororities. Some popu ar activities sorority women were involved in during the 1940s included teas, serenades, in which a fra- ternity mah gave his pin to a sorority woman and then sang, costume parties after football games in the ttSkeletOht building, the shell Of what is how the Merrick Building, before .it was finished in 1947. These parties would have a 50 cent admission based on the honor system and the money was donated to the University for the buildings completion. Later the sororities moved to the Pahhelehic Building. Each of the existing 14 sororities at that time put up $7,000 and promised a second payment of the same amount within 10 years. The building was named after Mary B. Merritt and only four soror- ities remained to complete their payment and ave a Mortgage Burning Ceremony. For ears, it was rumored that the sororities 010 hot ave houses because of a Coral Gables ordi- hahce or because the Pahhellehic contributor did not want houses around the area. Both rumors are not true. One Of the most influential peep e with regards to the Greek system at UM was Merritt, Through times of trouble and closures in the 196073, the Greek system at the University has been growing and acquired three colonies in the 199075.

Three years later, she was named an associate professor and dean Of women receiving a meager $2,850 salary a year - $700 less than the starting salary for her male counterparts. A Phi Mu sorority sister, she served as national president of the Greek organization and was a member of the National Association of Deans Of Women and the National Pahhellenic Congress. Upon her retirement, she received an honorary doctorate degree. In 1956, a building, which houses all sorority suites and half of the universityis fraternities, was named aherher Phi Epsilon Pi, locally known as Pi Kappa who came to Miami to teach English at Miami Delta Phi Epsilon cele- brated in 1953 its first prize in Potpourri in which they danced down a make- beneve Lincoln Road.

Three of todays frater- nities have been here since the university Opened its doors: Sigma Chi, formerly known as Pi Chi, established the first fraternity house on Coral Way in 1927; Lambda Chi Alpha; and Pi Kappa Alpha, which established the first fra- ternity house on San Amaro Drive in 1951. The newest fraternity to receive permission to recolonize at University Of Miami next fall is Phi Delta Theta, which Closed in the early 1980s. About half the fraternities have houses on tFraternity Rowl and the others, like all the sororities, have a suite in the Mary B. Merritt Panhellenic Building. Similar to sororities, fraternities have had their rough times as well.

Photo by Keri White taken from the 1953 Ibis nities closed their doors on the campus due to lack of membership and alumni support. At one point, a fraternity house lay vacant on San Amaro Drive because no new Chapters wanted to risk col- onizing in a campus where the Greek system was on the down side. However, support increased in the mid- 19705. This was evident when, during the 1974- 1975 school year, QSWO Of fraternity men voted in the Student Government elections and a Lambda Chi Alpha was elected president. In the 1980s and 1990s, fraternity men and sorority women have been involved in campus leadership, with several being elected to Student Government. As new chapters colonize and Old ones return to campus, the Greek system at the University of Miami remains an important compo- nent Of student life. - Cristina I.

Its founding nine members were Leonard Tuttle, Gavin Millar, Clarke Wilson, Francis Houghtalihg, John McGuire, Dale Clark, Harry Gray, Norman Ted Kennedy and Bob Fink. Houghtalihg was the first student enrolled in the university; Kennedy and Clark, in 1929, composed and wrote ttHail t0 the Spirit of Miami U?

But UM has a long history in athletics that dates back to the first freshman football team in 1926. With the opening of the University that year, its founding fathers also set out to create on of the nations top intercollegiate athletic programs. Thanks in part to a hurricane, Miami never saw the 50,000 seat stadium the schools first president, Dr. Bowman Foster Ashe, haol envisioned to build on campus. A temporary 8,000 seat structure was underway in 1926, but on September 17, just a day after construction started, a devastating hurricane 6' ripped through South Florida, taking 130 lives and 10,000 homes with it. Because of the storm, plans for the stadi- um were halteol. The remaining lumber was used to erect a makeshift grandstand, anol UM went ahead and fielded its first football team a month later. The freshman squad, in its first outing, beat Rollins, 7-0, in front of only 304 spectators. Of course, nowadays, more people attend just a simple practice session. In the early years of Hurricane athletics, some sports have voids of unrecorded history. When the mens basketball team played host to games between 1932-38, none of the games were ever officially recorded since the Hurricanes were playing against local amateur and ChurCh-sponsoreol teams. In the late 1920s, the basketball team would play teams from Havana, Cuba, the local taxi cab companies, and a group of fire- fighters from Sebring, Fla. Contrast this with the teams Miami has played in recent history like Syracuse, Georgetown, and Seton Hall. Football As times Changed, so did Hurricane ath- letios. The football team used to travel via the 282 F LASHBACK Eastern Seaboard Railroad in a private coach called The Spirit of Miami? During the 1930 season, Miami played one of the nations first night games against Bowden College. When it began to rain, the high-watt, unprotected lightbulbs began to explode and the field slowly grew darker as the game went on. Miami broke a long-standing Southern tradition in 1950 by playing Iowa, which had black players on its team. By the end of the decade, UM had won a major battle with the city to end seating restrictions for blacks in the Orange Bowl. In the 1960s, another barrier was broken with the sign- ing of wide receiver Ray Bellamy, the first black athlete to win a scholarship in the SOuth. UM football experienced some strong seasons in the 1960s, creating future pro stars like Chuck Foreman, George Mira, Jim Otto, and Ted Hendricks. Hendricks, nicknamed the Mad Stork? was one of college footballs most- feareol pass rushers. He became the schools first three-time All-American from 1966-68. Otto was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame after a career with the Oakland Raiders. Of course, recent history has provided the Hurricanes with four national titles 11983, 1987, 1989, and 19911 under three coaches tHowarol Sohnellenloerger, Jimmy Johnson, and Dennis Ericksonl. 1n the 1980s, over a dozen UM players have been drafted in the NFljs first round, and quarterbacks Vinny Testaverole anol Gino Torretta won the coveted Heisman Trophy in 1986 and 1992, respectively. Bernie Kosar Prom football to polo and sports in between, UM has garnered a total of 66 national Championships in the past fifty-five years. Basketball 0n the basketball court, Miami advanced to its only NCAA tournament appearance in 1959. Under Coach Bruce Hale, the team went 23-3, losing to Western Kentucky in the first round. Hale, a retired Air Force captain, coached UM for 13 years and 220 victories, and Miami put together twelve straight winning seasons. The 1960s were the heyday for UM bas- ketball. The Hurricanes went to three National Invitational Tournaments, once advancing to the second round in 1962. Miamiis opening NIT win against St. Francis t71-701 marked the pro- grams only post-season victory until an upset Womenis basketbal, which holds games at the Knight Sports Center, has grown in popularity clue to wins over Big East competitors. Photo by William Lai taken from the 1987 Ibis of the University of Pittsburgh in the first round of the 1992 Big East tournament. In 1995, the Hurricanes were invited back to the NIT, but fell to the Penn State Nittany Lions after playing just one game. During the 1960s, Dick Kickox became the programs first All-American, followed by consensus All-American Rick Barry. Barry led the nation in scoring with a 37.4 average dur- ing his 1964-65 senior season. Barry also became the only player in history to win scor- ing titles in the NCAA, NBA, and the old American Basketball Association. Barry led the 1964 team to a then-NCAA offensive record by averaging 98.4 points per game. Basketball, however, soon fell on hard times, as the program shut down in 1971 with a 94-75 loss to Jacksonville. For 14 years, the program was shelved. In 1985, it was brought back under Coach Bill Foster. Changes to the rebuilding program continued with the Hurricanes joining the Big East Conference in 1990. The womenis basketball program also built up to an appearance in the NCAA tourna- ment. , But it was during the years without loas- ketball that another UM sport gained promi- nence. Baseball Ron Fraser took over as head baseball coach in 1963, and he remained the teams skipper until the end of the 1992 season. In that time, Fraser amassed over 1200 victories, trailing only Rool Dedeaux on the all-time list. Along with these wins have come 19 consecu- tive trips to the NCAA Regionals and 11 appearances in the College World Series. Fraseris teams won two Series titles t1982,1985l, and since 1963, Fraser endured only one losing season. Although Jim Kelley replaced Fraser, his tenure was brief. After one season, Jim Morris replaced Kelley, and brought the Hurricanes back to Omaha for two consecutive years.

Rabin was in Tel Ayivis Kings of Israel Square, where he had just finished delivering a speech at a peace rally. Over 100,000 people were in atteh- dance. He Closed his speech with a farewell in Hebrew. ttShalom hauerkl Goodbye, 374- CURRENT EVENTS Israeli Prime Minisier w 1995-95 , ITzhok Robin Assossinoied fhend. The entire coun- try, as well as the rest of the world, mourned the death of the beloved leader. He was a man of hope, a man of wis- olom, a man who sought to improve the lives of all those he touched. The peace process that he began will be his legacy, said President Bill Clinton. At his funeral, attended by over 4,000 dignitaries and 40 heads of state, the most moving words were said by his 17- year old granddaugh- ter, Noa Beh-Artzi. ill asked the angels who are with you now to watch over you. May the God of Israel who pre- serves all of us pre- serve you in the heav- ehs as you deserve? Israelis were in disbelief after the Hagedy. tlt doesnt seem real to me? said Shmulick Yoskovich, 26, an economist from Haifa two days after the shooting. til went to sleep last night and was sure that I would wake up and he would be alive? Unfortunately, this was real, and the loss of Rabin affected many. Said Jerusalem bookstore owner Yehudit Meir, tlThe whole country is dead? UM students held a special memori- al service on the UC Rock at noon on the day of Rabirrs funeral to honor his memory. U. S. Troops Head to Bosnia President Clinton asks for support during peacekeeping effort In a plea to his country on nation tele- vision on November 27, President Bill Clinton tried to garner support to send U.S. troops to war-torn Bosnia to assist in the peacekeeping efforts. Clinton left no doubt that the forces - roughly 20,000 sol- diers on the ground - were ready to do bat- tle with Bosnians who make trouble. tAnyone who takes on our troops will suffer the conse- quences. We will fight ,fire with fire, and then some, said Clinton. Although the peace mission was risky, the president believed it was the right thing to do. He also believed that sending in the United States military was the only way to enforce the fragile peace agreement. The peace accord created an independent Bosnia in two parts, one domi- nated by Serbs, the other shared by Croats and Muslims. A weak federal gov- ernment will oversee financial matter and a constitutional court, but each of the rival states will have its own army. Said Clinton, tln this new era, there are times when America, and America alone, can and should make the difference for peace? Above, Bosnian refugees await news of the peace accord and the arrival of U.S. troops. At left, mil- itary forces arrive in Bosnia to ensure that the terms of the peace agree- ment are kept. CURRENT EVENTS 375 1995-96 It began as an average day in Americas heartland. But before it was over, hundreds of unsus- pecting lives would be shattered. The world was shaken to its core when a loud explo- sion ripped apart a nine story government office building in Oklahoma City. On April 19, 1995, just after 9:00 a.m., a bomb explod- ed from inside a truck parked outside the building, and an entire country was left numb and uncertain. Over 160 people were killed, including nineteen Children, many of whom were in the buildings day care center, located at the epicenter of the blast. The suspects in the bombing were Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The two men were Charged with eleven counts in the bomb- ing, which injured over 600 people. Response to the blast was almost more awesome than the blast itself - from the rescuers who risked their lives searching the still- trembling building to the letters of comfort that continue to pour in from across the country. The remains Of the building were later demolished as the nation watched and wept for the victims. Simpson Verdict: Not Guilty After spending 474 days as a prison- er, O.J. Simpson was finally free. The so-called trial of the century finally ended as two words echoed in the Los Angeles court- room and across the nation. Not guilty. It took the jury less than four hours to reach a verdict in the sensa- tional trial that lasted eight months. The jury of teh women and two men found that Simpson 376 CURRENT EVENTS did not kill his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman in June, 1994. The trial twisted and turned through a maze Of scientific evi- dence and dozens of expert witnesses. Judge Lance H0 presided over the trial, in which Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrmahis racial slurs and attitudes became on of the focal points Of Simpsonis defense. As the verdict Students watching in the International Lounge cheer after O.J. Simpson is acquitted. Photo by Amy Leitman was read on October 3, Opposing cries were heard across the country. The Juice is free and How could they? rang out as the Simpson saga ended. Simpson was back in the courtroom, though in January to defend himself in a Civil suit filed by the Brown and Goldman families. Pope Returns to the United States In early October, the much-traveleol Pope John Paul 11 returned to the Unhed States for his fourth papal trip. And the 75-year old Pope showed no signs of slowing down. T h e pope repeated- ly spoke of leading the R o m a n C a t h o l i o Church into the third millenium of the Christian faith. The Polish-born John Paul 11 became the first non-Italian to head the Church in 455 years when he was elected in 1978. One of the most Charismatic pastors in centuries, he made 67 trips outside Italy. It was ten years ago, on Tuesday, January 28, 1986, that the nation watched in disbelief as the space shuttle Challenger exploded almost immediately after its lift-off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Due to a techni- cal failure, the space shuttle burst into flames seventy-two seconds after take-off. - This mission was especially impor- tant because one of the seven crew mem- bers aboard the shut- tle was Christa McAuliffe. McAuliffe, one of five males and two females aboard the Challenger, was the first teacher to partici- pate on a space shut- tle mission. The explosion will be an event always remembered. Five students were killed when a school bus headed for a local high school was hit head-on by a commuter train in Cary, Illinois. The Chicago- bounol train ripped apart the school bus, which was stopped on the tracks, as youngsters in the back rushed forward in terror at the sight of 620 tons of steel bear- ing down on them. tYou could see the ter- ror in their eyes? wit- ness Coreen Baohinsky said of the students. tYou could hear the metal, the glass flying, the screams. It was very, very scary? Thirty students were injured in the accident, six in critical condition. The stu- dents who died were all under seventeen. Miss Oklahoma Crowned Miss America 1996 Shawtel Smith received an extra special present on her 24th birthday, as she was crowned Miss America in front of a live audience in Atlantic City. CURRENT EVENTS 377 1995-96 Hundreds of thousands Of black men marched in Washington in a spirit- ed rally for unity and brotherhood. The Million Man March was organized by Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. Participants were Optimistic that one of the outcomes of the day Of praying, singing and speech- makihg would create more understanding between blacks and whites. The Blizzard Of 96 swept through the northeastern portion of the United States burying major Cities under tens Of snow. According to the National Weather Service, New York City received 202 inches Of snowfall, Boston received 18.2 inches of snow and Philadelphia received Close to 30 inches. Many students who were in their h0metowns for the winter holidays found themselves stuck there in the early days Of Januaray. 378 CURRENT EVENTS Because many roads were slick and airports were Closed, it was difficult to return to Miami, which, although it was having a cold spell of its own, was not hear- ly as affected as the rest of the country. It was only a few days after the bliz- zard that the northeast was hit by another storm system, just not as intense as its pre- decesser By the time UM Classes began, stu- dents found them- selves back in the warm sun of Florida. Snow covered Weymouth, MA, one of the many cities hit in the blizzard. Photo by Keri White A Young Life's Trogio Ending Search for Jimmy Ryoe comes lo 0 close as boy's remoihs ore found Jimmy Ryceis mother wanted to see her son celebrate his 10th birthday. She also wanted to know what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas. Unfortunately, Claudine Ryce was unable to see her son blow out candles on his birthday cake or unwrap new toys. When Jimmy, 9, leh for school on September 11, 1995, no one knew that he would never make it home. At approximate- ly 3:20 that afternoon, Jimmy got off his Narahja Elementary school bus and head- ed home, just as he did every other school day. He only had three-tehths of a mile to go. Unfortunately, that was not close enough. After a nearly two-month search, police were led to a camper parked in the back yard of Susan Steihhaus. Steihhaus found Jimmyis backpack in the camper, which was being used by Juan Carlos Chavez, a handyman she had hired to work on her property. She immedi- ately called the FBI. Police Charged Chavez with murder, and after four days of questioning, he for- mally confessed. He told them exactly where he had hidden Jimmyis remains. Appareth, Chavez kidnapped, raped and fatally shot Jimmy on the same day he disappeared. He then dismembered Jimmyis body and buried his remains inside several large planters, police said. The entire com- munity was stunned that such a hopeful search could end in such a horrible way. tJimmy was a flower and he was just starting to open. I had hoped there would be a good ending to this story. At least I know Jimmy is safe howf 1995-96 saiol Claudine Ryce. Claudine and her husband, Dori, embarked on a nation- al campaign to require broader federal help. They circulated peti- tions across the United States to require pictures of missing Children be circulated to law enforcement agencies throughout the coun- try withih twenty-four hours of a disappear- ance and to be dis- played in federal build- ings, national parks and post offices. Their efforts were applauded by President Clinton, and a bill was passed so that tragedies such as this wont happen. The Atlantic regions hurricane sea- son this year was so active that it produced the most named storms since the National Hurricane Center started assign- ing names in 1953. This year offi- cials were prepared to reach the end of the list and begin naming storms after the Greek alphabet, starting with Alpha. Luckily, they did- hit have to go that far. But it was Close. From Allison to Tanya and all the storms in between, the 1995 hurricane season was one of the most brutal ever. There were 137 deaths, and $5.2 bil- lion in damages. In early August, Hurricane Erin scared residents all over South Florida, but it ended up hnnng Louisiana. Residents of one neighborhood survey the dam- age caused by one of this years brutal hurricanes. CURRENT EVENTS 379 1995-96 It was jUst another school day. At eight-fifteen a.m., on Thursday November 2, 1995, a group of autistic Children were on their way to Blue Lakes Elementary when a man,Catalino tNicki Sang boarded the bus and proceed- ed to hijack it. After reportedly owing $15,639.39 in back taxes, Sang felt he had no other option than to shield himself with disabled Children and threaten them with a bomb scare. tFollow my orders, Sang said, tor I will kill the kids? No problem. I will? said the driver, Alicia Chapman, crafty and calm. tBut please donlt hurt the chil- dren. The eerie inci- dent reminded us of OJ. Simpson and the movie Speed as motorists and office workers gathered at their windows to see the slow speed Chase. After 95 minutes, it ended outside of Joeis Stone Crab, a South Florida landmark known around the world. It ended with Violent gunfire leaving the hijacker dead and one student injured. The bus driver, a hero according to the students parents and the superinten- dent from the school, stated, til was thinking of them more than myself? til was praying all the time, praying con- stantly. I just went along with him. Whatever he wanted me to do, I diolf said Chapman. ltThis is an absolutely unselfish personf said Octavio Visiedo, superinten- dent. She was pri- marily concerned about the Children? iShels a true hero? said Blue Lakes Elementary School Principal Joanne Stearns. Everybody else seemed to think so too. Chapmanis house was flooded with calls from Inside Edition, show and numerous other national news programs. People magazine even sent her flowers. As Chapman and the Children were returned to school after the hijacking, par- ents stood and cheered for her. They all had the same question: tCan we keep Mrs. Chapman as our bus driver? the Todayk Miami-Cali Flight Crashes One of the best air safety records belonged to American Airlines until late 1995. On December 20, a Boeing 757, fly- ing from Miami to Cali, Colombia, crashed into a mountain, killing 163 people. According to the airline, an investiga- tion revealed that pilot Nicholas Tafuri and co-pilot Don Williams failed to perform an 380 CURRENT EVENTS approach review and missed an important radio beacon near Cali. There were only four human survivors among the internation- al travelers. A dog, named Milagro, Spanish for ttmiracle? also escaped death.

UM Cheerleader Succumbs to Lung Disease tWe Cheer for Vickyl was a slogan seen by all those who attend- ed UM football games during the 1995 sea- son. One individual who was hot at these games was Cheer- leader Victoria Ortega, to whom the season was dedicated. Last May, Vicky died after becoming too ill to receive a lung transplant. She and her twin sister Cristina, both 23 at the time, planned to undergo lung trans- plants together to cure a rare genetic lung dis- order last spring. Shortly before a donor was located, Vicky went into car- diac arrest, and Cris underwent the eight- hour transplant by her- self. She received two healthy lungs while Vicky became sicker, and eventually died. Although she was unable to attend her May 1995 gradua- tion, Vicky was given an honorary bache- lorls degree by President Foote. In 1995, Vicky served as the captain of the UM Varsity Cheerleadihg squad. None of us ever imagined that Vicky would die. It has 1995-96 been so hard for us to lose this wonderful, caring person. Her final act of giving was that Cris receive both lungs. Vicky was that type of individualjf said Danny Reynolds, U M V a r s i t y Cheerleadihg coach. tViCky was very beautiful, caring and kind. She was a very Classy young woman who loved beautiful things. She always worked hard to accomplish her goalsf said her best friend of ten years, Liz Matos. Viokyls family would like to thank everyone for their sup- port and love. Gets Chai on Israel From December 24 to January 3, 82 students from the University of Miami became the largest group ever to visit Israel at one time. The 1 1-day trip, organized by Hillel, was part of the United Jewish Appeals Winter Student Mission. tThe goal of the trip was to create a community among Jewish students on campus, to provide a realistic feeling of Israel and to get stu- dents involved in cam- pus activitiesf said Rabbi Jaime Klein Aklepi, Hillells director.
