When we were all youngsters crawling around on the floors of our homes and listening eagerly to our mothers' and fathers' graphic accounts of past fables, fairy tale endings came a dime a dozen
Somehow our great-great-grandfathers always made it to the bank on time to make that final payment on the farm that was going to be repossessed And somehow Batman and Robin always seemed to stop the Penguin from terrorizing Gotham City.
But I don’t recall the story of Danny Miller killing the Gator .	’
Last Saturday afternoon before an electrifying crowd of 7.1.817 strong, the Hurricanes made it four victories in a row over their rival F'lorida Gators
And once again they did it in spectacular fashion
Miami came from behind and scored 10 unanswered points in the final six minutes, sending Florida coach Charlie Pell and his players home with their fourth consecutive loss to the 'Canes.
Danny Miller, who now has 10 field goals against the Gators in his four-year UM career, booted a 55-vard strike which caromed off the right goal post and fell in between the uprights with 43 seconds remaining
The 55-yard shot gave Miami a 21-20 come-from-behind victory The third largest crowd in University of Miami history received a rare treat in the final six minutes After Florida kicker Brian Clark connected on a 48-yard kick early in the fourth quarter that gave the Gators a 20-1 1 lead, it looked hopeless for the 'Canes
With starting quarterback Jim Kelly on the sidelines with an injured leg. and with his replacement Mark Richt throwing his first seven passes incomplete, it seemed lhat the clock was all that stood in the way of a Florida victory But that clock soon stopped With 5:45 remaining and Miami controlling the ball on their own 45-yard line. Richt spotted speedster Rocky Belk over the middle. Belk caught the hall on a dead run and raced through the Florida secondary. closing the gap to two points.

Parking may never be the same for UM commuter students
Days spent dodging potholes and puddles and praying that the next guy's car door doesn’t bang your car's new paint job will be a thing of the past, according to Joe Frechette, executive director of Public Safety.
The first of a three-phase plan to redo the large lot next to the Centrex and l.C buildings should be finished and the lot "operational by |today| ' with any luck." Frechette said.
The lot is also bordered by University Drive. Pisano Avenue and Campo Sano
Parking fines and decal money are paying for the project and "that's why we had |to wait| until |sum-mer's| end to see how much money there is."
Crews began ripping up and replacing this section July 27 as part of a plan to redesign, as well as repave, the back commuter lot.
"Instead of being one big lot. it'll be three lots," Frechette said. The middle one will be for compact cars and the other two for standard
Cars will enter the lots only through entrances on two sides, because curb-
stones will surround the lots
“Parking will become a lot more controlled." Frechette said
Unpaved sections and unpainted stalls increased the chances of cars getting banged up by another person's car door and also wasted space, because students tended to park helter-skelter. he said.
But that doesn't mean newly repaved lots will have more spaces. In fact, there will be less.
The old parking area had 1.132 parking spaces With remodeling the three smaller lots will "lose probably 100 spaces total." Frechette explained. He attributed the loss to contemporary building codes which require that "when you build a lot today you have to landscape," Frechette said
Puddle-filled lots should become a thing of the past, because new parking area drains wilt get rid of standing water, he said
Frechette estimated these improvements for the middle section at $165,000
"Due to the terrific cost, we couldn't do it all in one vear," he said. Even now, the final phases aren't definite because Public Safety officials don't know if they will have enough funds. Frechette said
Work on the middle lot was delayed until the end
-----------%
of the summer because "we didn't know if we had the money." he added
It was scheduled to be completed around the first day of class, but heavy rains from Tropical Storm Dennis delayed the contractor, A.J. House.
Over Christmas "we hope to start the next phase, which will be the repaving of the section north of the middle section," Frechette said.
Public Safety hopes to start tearing up that part sometime during finals week, when many students finish their exams in the early part of the week and leave, he said.
Work on the last third is planned for next summer Over the summer crews also resurfaced lots by buildings 36. 37, 42. 43 and 44 and a lot between Eaton Hall and the Health Center Confusion and lack of space caused by to the delay in finishing the middle section prompted Public Safety to go easier on students parked in the wrong areas. Frechette said. “The violations we’ve ticketed for have been fire lanes and disabled "
On their side, students have been more tolerant, he said. "I guess because they've seen we're trying to make improvements here.
"This will be a first class lot."
