By ganantm Eicpc After hundreds of housing applications were pro- cessed, there was still an even bigger problem that the Department of Residence Halls was faced with. How do you tell dozens of students that there was just no place for them to live? Senior Stefan Cline was one of these unfortunate few. After applying Iast-minute, he was told that he would be living in temporary housing for awhile. He discov- ered when he arrived, that his room, number 822, was nothing more than a study lounge with the windows cov- ered in paint. ti ended up living in the lounge for about two weeks. The room had no cable, no closets, and no mailbox downstairs, Cline said. Luckily, probiems like Cline,s were eventually smoothed out, as some students never showed up to their dorm rooms, allowing those students in temporary housing to move into actual rooms. After the hectic August 19th moving day had died down, many freshmen found themselves adjusting to life with a roommate, something most had not experi- enced before. Freshman Kevin Jennings soon discovered the dif- ferences in taste would have to result in compromise. tLiving with my roommate has been fine so far, ex- cept that he gets ticked off wheneverl listen to Manson or tNSYNC, Jennings said. ?mil photo by Deanna Droira Students walk to their next class after a section in the Learning Center. Most students only had a few minutes to walk across campus to the different classrooms.

While the hair was dif- ferent and the jeans a little tighter, UM students of today and 1975 shared the same love for the sun, laughs, and good ambiance. Stu- dents sought shelter from the sun, much like today, under red and white parasols. However, back then students played chess on the patio instead of Chatting on their cellular phones. That year also signaled half a century of Hurricane tra- dition. The football team, far from na- tional champions, had a record of 2-8. Despite this record, the University was far from average. A diverse cam- pus even then, the presence of differ- ent cultures permeated the many cam- pus organizations. With a history that is rich in culture and knowledge, the University of Miami a is well on its way to becoming one of E the centers of learning for the country. a m? .2 2.5. a 3 photos by Jorge Galvez Junior Winnie Eiiassaint, graduate student Saradhia Pericles, and sophomore Joanna Ceiestin share a laugh in between classes.
