But the reborn Miami Hurricanes did manage to beat the team and the spread, coming out ahead of Cyrus I.awrence and the Virginia Tech Hokie team, 20-10, before a one-third capacity crowd at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in Peach Bowl 1980. Perhaps it was the publicity, or lack of it. News stations in the Atlanta area spoke of the Sugar Bowl winning Georgia Bulldogs and the upcoming Dallas Cowboy, Atlanta Falcons game. The night before the game, there was not a single mention of the charity raising Peach Bowl, on the television news. Perhaps it was the preceding seasons. Miami clobbered Florida State in the closest rout ever played, beat Houston and Florida along with their lesser wins The schedule ranked as the second toughest in the nation by the New York Times. Virginia Tech, although also finishing 8-3 in the regular season, beat William and Mary, James Madison, and Rhode Island, but lost to the Spiders of Richmond and was blown out by FSU, 31-7, playing | what was ranked as the 83rd tough-! est schedule in the nation. I "Personally, I think this is the biggest game in town," Schnellen-berger said before the game. "It I will he an exciting game because of ! the matchups. Cyrus Lawrence has the greatest cutback ability lhat I we've played in recent years." j Tailback Cyrus Lawrence, in ! fact, was the strength of the Virginia Tech attack. The sophomore ran i for 134 yards of the Virginia l ech 299 yards total offense. But regardless of the mediocre excitement of the Peach Bowl, ii afforded Miami it s ninth win of the season, and lhat hasn't been done, j since 1950. Both Most Valuable Player trophies went to Miami players. On offense it was sophomore quarterback Kelly, who is destined for greatness. The defensive award went to third team All-American Jim Burt, for his nine-tackle performance. By JEAN CLAUDE de la FRANCE And MARY CRONIN Of The Hurricane Shill Three cars burst into flames Monday in the parking lot of Building 49, where the Open Door is located, causing over $13,000 worth of damage. As a result of the fire, four windows in the building exploded from the intensity of the heat. No one was injured. According to Coral Gables Fire Chief Jerry Bottorff, the fire resulted when an unidentified couple dropped a lit cigarette butt into cardboard boxes from the second floor of Building 49. The burning cardboard ignited the paint on a 1980 white Volkswagen Scirocco, which exploded, then destroying two other cars and damaging a fourth. The fire caused over $13,000 worth of damage to three cars: the Scirocco, a 1975 white Peugeot, and a 1977 bronze Honda. A black Monte Carlo was only slightly damaged. While the cars were in flames, the paint on the side of Building 49 was scorched and two inside offices sustained light damage. Because of strong winds, which fanned the flames, it took the firefighters over 45 minutes to put out the blaze. The estimated damage cost to the building was expected to be several thousand dollars; however, the exact figure would not be tabulated until early next week, according to William Coombs, risk manager of the University Insurance Office. Senior Arian Benefit, who works for the Intensive English Program, alerted the Public Safety Department.“! was just standing there. I did not see anyone near there. When I smelled smoke, I turned around and the bush was on fire. There wasn’t anything I could do but scream for someone to call the fire department.” Benefit said that she had just left an office of the Intensive English building when the fire started. Benefit’s shouts for someone to phone the police allowed Public Safety officials to react quickly. According to a Public Safety receptionist, over 30 people called in to report the blaze. PSD officers were unsure where the blaze actually occurred due to different reports by the callers. The Open Door is a service which provides counseling assistance to students. Scholars Will Still Get Merit By KATHERINE RYBARCZYK News Writer The provisional Merit Awards Program has been extended into Spring, 1981, its third semester of operation. In the academic year 1980-81 over $230,000 has been divided among 121 students designated as Merit Award Scholars. Most of these students received Merit Awards amounting to half the cost of tuition. Students eligible for such awards are those who have earned a grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.85 to 4.0 in at least 30 hours of study at UM. In addition, merit awards are given only to students who are not already receiving Presidential or University Scholarships. Thus, those students who did not present S.A T. scores or high school averages high enough to qualify them for Presidential Scholarships, yet who have achieved top grades in college, are rewarded for their academic progress. dents of merit awards also include students e transferred to UM and are therefore ineligi-the Presidential and University Scholarships to incoming freshmen, and who have earned ve G.P.A.'s of 3.85 to 4.0 during at least 30 study at UM. Merit awards were first given out in the spring semester of 1980 when Dr. Leonard Carrier and Dr. Howard Pospesel, members of the Presidential Scholarship Committee, in conjunction with several financial aid officers and members of the faculty Senate, proposed to President Stanford that surplus scholarship funds be used to present Merit Awards to some o s finest students. Surplus fi*.ds existed because not enough fr«s,lnu " who qualified for presidential scholarships . a 1,1'n 1' cruited and enrolled, Carrier said. Those who initiated the Merit Awards Program believed that it would be a good way to recognize and reward many UM scholars and that it would boost the morale of some of the school’s finest students. Carrier said that it was hoped that students with high G.P.A.’s and without scholarships would be induced by the Merit Awards to stay at UM instead of transferring. The reaction to the Merit Awards Program was favorable from the start, and the publicity was very encouraging to its promoters. Carrier said that since its inception, this innovative program has been covered by all local newspapers as well as by the Wall Street Journal and Readers' Digest. It has put UM in the limelight as a university committed to attracting and maintaining a highly competent body of students. Yet, the fate of the program Is still questionable. Recruitment for Presidential Scholars is being intensified. Therefore, the surplus funds that have been going toward merit awards may not be as plentiful next year, Carrier said. To compensate for the possible drop in surplus funds, efforts are being made to procure money from other sources for the continuation of the merit awards next Fall. Development Affairs is hoping to raise some of the money needed for the 120 awards in 1981-82 through donations from foundations, alumni groups, and individual donors. Currently, because the of the uncertain status of UM’s Merit Awards Program.it cannot be used in literature promoting the school or as a recruiting device. When the Merit Awards become a permanent feature, they may be valuablrjin attracting an increased number of able students to this campus. Miami Htyrru «ne ERIC BAUME t The final statistics were a true matchup. First downs were even at 19 apiece. Miami picked up 163 yards rushing, while Tech managed 180. Jim Kelly outpassed Tech’s Steve Casey, 179 yards to 119 yards. Kelly completed 11 of 22, while Casey went 9-24. UM racked up 341 yards of total offense.

By BARRY JAY BRUDER New s Writer A mandatory health insurance i program to cover emergency medical expenses for students is being proposed by Dr Eugene Flipse, head of Health Services at UM. and Marc Friedland, Chairman of the Student Health Advisory Committee. Flipse said that the proposed plan — designed to "avoid having a student jockeyed from one hospital to the next" — would pay up to $5000 for emergency hospitalization and up to $100 in local ambulance fees. It would cost “a maximum of $40 per semester,” Flipse said. Flipse explained that the plan would only be mandatory for a student if the student did not show evidence of having medical coverage. Such evidence would be provided through completion of a form sent to the student and his or her parents. The biggest problem concerning the lack of health insurance is finding a hospital willing to treat someone without such insurance. “With a broken neck, some hospitals will put you in traction and i send you to the next hospital,” j Flipse said. "You see, those hospitals simply won’t accept the burdens of society." In opposition to the insurance proposal is Alan Rubin. President of Itciiiuiiis Of (,;tr \n«j- Hamo SE'; Page 3/HEALTH
