Ceremonies commemorating the second annual Walk-For-U got underway Monday morning, as UM coaches Howard Schnellenberger and Ron Fraser lit the torch that will be carried throughout the week.
The walkathon is the brainchild of UM alumnus Ray Barnes, and is designed to help raise money for the wide range of athletic programs at UM.
While it benefits the various athletic programs, other school orgnai-zations can participate in the walkathon to raise funds for themselves as well.
Head football coach Howard Schnellenberger exuded enthusiasm in his comments on the walkathon.
“I think this is a heck of a thing,” he said. “This year we’ve had a lot more lead time and the Athletic Federation has put a lot of time and effort into it. It looks like it’s going to be about five times as good as it was a year ago.”
Baseball Coach Ron Fraser was equally enthusiastic: “I think it’s great. It’s something that looks like it’s growing; it’s getting bigger. Certainly the athletes are excited about it . . . we’ll have more walkers than ever. It’s a great thing for the whole athletic department, a great fundraiser, and a lot of fun for everyone."
Along with a host of current athletic stars, many UM alumni now in the ranks of professional sports will also be in attendance.
Such notables will include St. Louis Cardinals rushing star Ottis Anderson and Pittsburgh Steeler defensive lineman Gary Dunn.
Also to walk will be the great UM quarterback of the 1960’s, George Mira.
Carni Gras Amusements Will Turn Intramural Field Into A Carnival

It is time once again for the largest college carnival in the South; University of Miami’s Carni Gras 1981.
The profits from this year’s Carni Gras will be going toward the Paul Yarck Memorial Fund for Improvements of student facilities. Yarck was an assistant dean of students at UM.
According to Susan Liss, Carni Gras Chairperson, their main objective this year is to cut expenses.
“We’ve been trying to get as many sponsors as we can to save money. Hopefully we’ll have the largest turnout and raise the most money ever,” said Liss.
Liss said that they would like more support from the community.
"It |Carni Gras| shows good relations between the school and the community," said Liss.
Carni Gras is always remembered, among other things, for its many clowns wandering around all week.
"This year we have some clowns who are gymnasts. They will be doing skits, passing out balloons, and spreading smiles,” said Amy
Muise, clown chaiperson.
The carnival will take place February 19 through 21 on the Intramural Field, but there are many events planned for the beginning of the week to kick off the festivities.
From Monday, Feb. 16 through Wednesday, Feb.18, there will be a Fun Tent set up across from the UM Bookstore by the Rock.
The Fun Tent will have contests, prizes, free food and entertainment from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day.
On Feb. 16, the Singing Hurricanes will perform and on Feb. 17 at noon, the Fun Tent will present the Loco Motion Vaudeville Show.
• In addition to the Fun Tent, another pre-Carni Gras event is Carni Gras Night at the Rat on Tues., Feb. 17 at 8 pm. This is being sponsored tjy Miller Beer and all beers will be 25 cents each.
The theme for the evening is Country and Western Night. There will be a C & W band and contests with prizes such as Best Dressed Cowboy, Dance Contest and Kissing Contest.
On Thursday, Feb. 19, the opening ceremonies of Carni Gras will be held at 7 p.m. with Dr. Henry King Stanford speaking. The festivities will go on until 11 p.m. Thursday night.
On Friday, F’eb. 20, Carni Gras wll be open from 5 p.m. until 12 midnight. On Saturday, Feb. 21, it will run from noon to midnight.
Saturday, from noon until 5 p.m., will be Kid’s Day. There will be many contests during all of Carni Gras, but on Kid’s Day there will be special events and contests just for children.
“This year, for additional security [along with the usual Student Security |, we are also getting uniformed police officers to deter any crime that may occur," said Marc Robinson of the Carni Gras comittee.
According to Robinson, this will show that there is some protection, and presumably more people will feel safe at the carnival.
Muise said that they are still looking for people who would like to be clowns. If interested call x3578 or go to room S225 in the Student Union.
Posters will be up on campus and around the community with more information on Carni Gras and the pre-Carni Gras events. There will be commercials aired on WPLG and WCIX T.V. and local radio stations.
Additionally, WCIX’s Big Wilson will be giving away complimentary tickets.
New Computers Top Allocation List
By ALEX AGUIRRE

When the administration presents Its budget recommendations to the Board of Trustees on Feb. 17, one of the items topping the agenda will be a $900,000 allotment for a new IBM computer system.
David Lieberman, vice president for financial affairs, said that the new computer is badly needed to improve the administrative and financial system of the University.
According to Lieberman, UM needs an accounts receivable system, a new financial aid system and a new payroll personnel Affirmative Action system to comply with the federal regulations. Part of the responsibilities of the University under the Affirmative Action is to provide the federal government with demographic information regarding employees and job applicants so that the government can monitor hiring practices.
Lieberman said that a ne v financial system is needed because government regulations are puttng new burdens on the the administration, ror example, the university is required to give financial aid transcripts to all students who attend under that program.

Other increases in the budget include $467,000 for “market adjustments." This increase is intended to bring up to par salaries that are way below the market average.
An extra $200,000 is being added to cover the expected increased enrollment next semester. Most of these funds will go toward part-time and overload payments to the faculty.
Campus crimes are responsible for a $102,000 allotted increase.
“The crime and feelings of insecurity on our campus are leading us to propose to the Board that we continue the Student Security Force, and add staff to Public Safety and add campus lighting,” Lieberman stated.
The bursar’s office will be getting extra staff due to the increased amout of students who are deferring tuition and room and board payments in expectation of financial aid. The allotted increase in this area will be approximately $68,000.
The University’s internal audit staff will grow to the tune of $44,000, and the price of maintaining the growing Alumni Association will go up about $36,000.
To offset some of these increases, the Office of Financial Affairs di-
rected every support unit to cut five percent off its budget. Any restoration of the five percent cut will be considered along with requests for
new funding.
Lieberman said that it now appears that almost $500,000 has been cut from the operating budget.

Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party and co-defendant in the Chicago Seven trial, will be speaking in the Ruth King Stanford International Lounge on Monday, February 16, at 8:00 p.m., in conjunction with Lecture Series and Black Culture Week.
Seale recieved national and international recognition for his revolutionary activities during the 1960’s. At the trial of the Chicago Seven, Judge Hoffman had Seale bound and gagged for being disruptive in court.
He later ran, unsuccesfully, for Mayor of Oakland, California.

One of those who has put considerable time and effort into the project is Holly Beth Byer.
Byer spoke about what Walk-For-U will mean for UM.
"I think the Walk-For-U is more than just an opportunity to raise funds for athletics," she said. “I think it’s a great opportunity for the students, faculty, administrators and alumni of UM to join together annualiy and have some fun."
Walk-For-U will commence tomorrow morning at 9:30 at Mark Light Stadium. From the stadium it
will progress to the UM track, where the marchers will circle the track four times. Then it’s down to San Amaro Drive.
From San Amaro, the procession will continue to Ponce de Leon Boulevard; from there to Stanford Drive, through the Student Union, around Lake Osceola to the intramural fields, and finally back to Mark Light Stadium.
“If I can make the 20 kilometers, I will feel like I’m in great physical condition," Schellenberger said.

took his jaw apart and got him breath*

USBG Honors Student Heroes

They were just student bystanders, but their quick reactions to two recent situations saved the life of a UM employee and stopped a man who was evading police after traipsing across the campus with a garter snake in his mouth.
They and others have been awarded citations by the Undergraduate Student Body Government and will be awarded by the Public Safety Department, according to department spokesmen.
Antonio Gonzales was cleaning the lobby of the 960 dormitory on the morning of January 23 and suffered a massive heart attack. Two students administered first aid until Coral Gables Fire Rescue paramedics arrived.
"The guy on the floor was blue," said Dennis Deblois, who was headed for class at ten minutes to nine in the morning. "I asked for a pen. His jaw was jammed shut.”
“I took his jaw apart and got him breathing," Deblois said.
A second student, John Bell, arrived and began to administer cardiopulmonary rescuscitation.
When paramedics arrived, they treated the man for a corroded artery in the throat and put an esophagal tube in his neck.
“He bled all over me," Deblois said, "I was covered with blood."
“Then they hit him twice with paddles and got something which resembled a rhythm going."
The paramedics emptied the man’s pants. In his wallet. Deblois said, was "about a grand In twenty dollar bills."
"I guess he didn’t believe In banks," Deblois said.
The rest of the mob that was gathered around the man was rather frantic, Deblois said.
“One woman was screaming, Tony,Tony!’, ” he said.
“He wouldn’t have gone on much longer. When your skin is blue like that...”
In another instance of student heroism, UM student Bill Rumage stopped a man who was running through the Breezeway towards the Rathskellar end last Friday afternoon, pursued by Public Safety officer James Smith.
The man, Public Safety reported, was harassing students and making a spectacle of himself by walking about with a garter snake in his mouth.
“The guy was running down the Breezeway. I pushed the girl I was with behind me, and broke into a linebacker position."
The man saw Rumage, collided with him and both went hard against the wall of the cafeteria. Then the offensive tackle punched him in the eye.
"I didn’t know I was cut until my girlfriend saw it a minute later,” Rumage said. He waited while a student security patroller took down some information and Smith took the man away in the squad car. Then he went to the Health Center and had a stitch put next to his right eye.
"I got a call from Officer Smith that night He thanked me for my help. We got a certificate from USBG yesterday."
The man was taken to Dade County Jail by UM Public Safety.
"A lot of people asked me why did you do it. There was a split second involved to decide either to get out of the way or to get hit. I’m just glad the guy didn't have a knife."
Seale currently serves as director of Advocates Scene, a national lobby group representing the 60 million poor, black, and minority people in the United States.
Seale is also the director of Homicide Prevention, Inc. a non-profit educational research organization devoted to reducing violent assaults and homicides in America.
While lecturing to thousands of students and faculty members at colleges and universities across the country, Seale has recieved enthusiastic praise.
Monday night Seale will bring his position on the current situation of Blacks in America as well as the legal and social justice systems of this country to UM.
