The P.M. Magazine production crew visited Mark Light Stadium Wednesday to film a segment for their daily half-hour program. The short pertained to base-hall bats, and therefore a practice session at the Light provided the unit with adequate background action.
P.M. Magazine strives to be an informative program centering around entertaining, stimulating and thought-provoking topics.
The show originated under the name Evening Magazine four years ago in San Francisco on the T.V. station KPIX. Its popularity since then has grown substantially. and the show is now seen in 91 cities throughout the country, including the newest addition of WTVJ (Channel 4) in Miami.
Locally, the show premiered Sept. 8 in the 7:30 p.m. time slot. The crew prides itself as being "one of the few stations across the country that focuses more than half its topics on local programming.”
Karin Kelly and Jerry Penacoli. the show's cohosts, have a deep background in the field of communications. Penacoli, a native of Pennsylvania, was an-chorperson and reporter for Jacksonville’s WJKS for five months. He then Joined WTVJ’s weekend magazine program Montage as a reporter/producer before becoming co-host of P.M.
“Miami is the best place to produce P.M.," said Penacoli when he first joined the show. "It has everything that makes South Florida so unique."
Kelly is from Charleston, West Virginia, where she
She Has Plenty Of Mice, But No Cool Air

A Pearson Hall resident who suffers from asthma has been unable to have her air conditioner adjusted to a temperature which will not aggravate her affliction.
Elisa Enison feels that that the temperatures in her room have been at an "unhealthy level” all semester. "I have asthma, so I received special permission to have my thermostat set at 70 degrees," she said.
This year, the thermostats in the dorms are electronically controlled and set at 76 degress, unless the resident has a medical reason to alter it.
"At the beginning of the semester someone from the Energy Commission came to my room and set the thermostat specifically for me; but ever since then the temperatures have regularly been in the upper 70s and low 80s," Enison explained.
"Aside from the fact that I have asthma, the temperatures in the room have been way above 76 anyway. We |Enison and her roommate| are having trouble sleeping and studying, because the heat is making us tense and uncomfortable.
“I have been complaining all semester to George Shoffner director of the Department of Residence Halls|, and to a Mr. |Charles| Sargent, |assistant director for Physical Environment], who Shoffner referred me to," said Enison. "Instead of action, I just keep getting the runaround. They keep referring me from one department to another.”
Sargent could not be reached for comment.
According to Enison, someone from the Energy Commission was supposed to come to her room last Wednesday between 8:30 and 10 a.m. to “check out the situation.” Enison says no one came.
Enison says the temperature problem was compounded this week when she found mice in her room. “I saw a mouse the other day and called down to the desk; they sent someone up to set traps, and eventually one of the mice was caught. Then, the next day I saw another one,” explained Enison.
According to a Pearson Hall secretary, who asked not to be identified, Enison’s problem was attended to immediately. “We sent up an exterminator, and hopefully the situation is under control," she said.
The secretary also explained that some residents "smuggle in pets from time to time," and that the rodent which Enison saw could have been somebody's pet hamster
“As of now, I can only hope the situation has been taken care of. I'm really too nervous to think about it," said Enison.
was an anchorperson. She also anchored in Denver and Kansas City. Before coming to Miami, she hosted P.M. Magazine for two years in Dallas.
In addition to their on-camera work, both Kelly and Penacoli’s chores include writing and producing at least one story each per week. Three other producers combine to write the remaining stories. Each show usually highlights five local stories combined with additional segments pertaining to national topics.
The P.M. National Office chooses 10 topics from some 200 sent in by stations nationwide. It then distributes these selected topics to stations for use at their own discretion.
"We usually select five from these 10 for our spots on national topics,” stated Kelly. "Some stations on the other hand may choose all 10 and do less on local
items.”
Story ideas for the programs sometimes originate from viewer suggestions, but as Penacoli puts it, “We have no one major source; an idea could come from a conversation."
After a weekly “story meeting," the crew develops chosen topics into the end-product viewed on the air.
Since the program is shot entirely on location, when the producers decided to do a piece on the "Louisville Slugger” it was felt that a baseball locale would be ideal.
The Slugger is a brand of bats widely used in professional and college baseball. They are manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, hence the name.
With the consent of the Baseball Hurricanes, Penacoli and Kelly donned Miami uniforms and took to the field.
Unlike many on-camera performers, both do the show's segments without the use of cue cards. Despite the few instances where there were routine stops, the taping session was successful.
Some recent topics presented by P.M. included "posh” Rodeo Drive in Hollywood, Calif., female astronauts’ training program, the Miami bomb squad, balloon cops, and a pet motel in Fort Lauderdale.
Both Kelly and Penacoli feel that their individual participation adds to the overall presentation of certain pieces.
In their production of the training program for female astronauts, Kelly took part in the survival portion of the program.
"I think it gives the viewer the idea of the everyday person going through the process," she said.
Andy Warhol's recent exhibit at the Lowe Art Museum is among the many upcoming items on P.M. "Louisville Sluggers" will air on Oct. 16.

Committee Votes To Establish CARS
By MARK A. WOOSTER
Assistant News Editor
A subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on Registration and Calendar has unanimously voted to cancel the 1981 Manual Advanced Registration System (MARS), and expressed a desire to move forward with a Computerized Advanced Registration System (CARS). The subcommittee will also propose methods to improve registration for next semester.
The subcommittee, composed of administrators, deans, and students, met Monday. Sept. 22.
According to a memorandum from Registrar Sidney Weisburd. MARS was approved by the University three years ago with the understanding that planning would immediately begin for CARS Initial funding of $100,000 in 1979-80 and $150,000 in 1980-81 was provided for CARS, with the commitment of the administration that additional funding for the program would be
forthcoming.
At the meeting, the subcommittee discussed the problems that occurred with the 1980 MARS. Dean Barbara Vanlandingham said that the School of Education practically-registered each 1980 MARS participant again during fall semester registration because many Schedule changes had to be made.
The subcommittee agreed that advanced registration is a good concept, but that MARS was only a temporary measure, and that the
University should with CARS.
move forward
Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Alan Rubin said at the meeting that the students felt that UM had made a commitment to CARS, and that MARS was only temporary. He said that the students will send a resolution that will recommend the cancellation of MARS, and a separate resolution indicating the need to begin the planning phase of CARS
immediately.
The subcommitee also discussed possible temporary changes in the registration process that were necessary because of the new stage in Brockway Lecture Hall It is hoped that these changes will help speed up the registration process.
One proposal was to move financial aid and deferred payments to the Student Union. Another suggestion was to have course scheduling and coupon pulling one day, and financial functions the next.
The subcommittee met again yesterday to discuss these ideas, and to meet with Dr M. Lewis Temares, director of the Computer Center.
After the meeting, Rubin emphasized that any changes in registration would be temporary. "Anything we change will only be a temporary change to alleviate problems for the spring semester and the next semester," he said "We expect the University to follow up on its commitment io the students and deliver a computerized registration system."
Repeats Call For Tax Cut
Reagan Criticizes Carter At Dade Auditorium

A political rally for Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan was held at the Dade County Auditorium in Miami on Monday, Sept. 22. Attending the rally were UM students from Frazier White's COM 218 course in “Analysis of Current Political and Social Communications."
White required his students to attend the rally because he believes "that most people have never been to a major political rally, and it is a unique American experience. T V. does not show a candidate the same way a personal contact does.”
Reagan’s speech began at 6:05 p.m. Before that there was political jubilee that included balloons, flag waving, and patriotic music.
The overflow crowd in attendance was treated to a dixieland band which played music ranging
New Law-Center Director Named
By ELIZABETH BABUN
N*wi writer
Dr. Kenneth W Clarkson, professor of economics and research economist at UM, is now interim director of the Law and Economics Center.
Clarkson replaces Dr. Henry S. Manne, who established the LEC in 1974. Manne has resigned to establish a law and economics center at Emory University in Atlanta. He and two other faculty members will leave the department, hut the Center will remain.
According to a Miami Herald article which appeared Sept. 23, UM President Henry King Standford said. “Manne lias brought honor and prestige to our institution. We
wish him well as he seeks to develop a center at Emory that will compare favorably with what we have at the University of Miami."
The LEC, which was part of the School of Law, became an independent unit in January. 1980. It will be linked to the School of Business Administration beginning Feb. I. According to Stanford, this endeavor will provide added strength and potential to both units.
As a result of the merger, a number of new programs are scheduled for the business school. A Ph D. program emphasizing law and economics, and a masters degree in economics for law students will be established sometime in the future.
According to Clarkson, the Center will “expand many of the programs into new areas, and will con-
tinue to stress research and publication in law and economics."
Clarkson came to the University in 1975. He has published more than a dozen books and monographs. plus articles in many publications. In addition. Clarkson has served as consultant to various federal agencies, including the Treasury Department, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Federal Trade Commission.
"The areas of law and economics are growing rapidly; were very fortunate to be one of the first institutions to combine them into a discipline," said Clarkson “Law defines the rules we must live by Economics tells us how people will respond to rules. Economists can better understand behavior if they know what the rules are."
from the patriotic to the Cuban national anthem. The audience was divided mostly into a large Cuban section and a smaller, elderly Jewish section.
After the music, political introductions were delivered by several local candidates. Two of the three speakers attacked President Jimmy Carter. After the opening comments, Reagan received his introduction.
Reagan began his address with a severe criticism of Carter's economic policies. He expressed extreme concern for the impact that inflation has had on the average American.
"If Mr Carter remains in office for the next four years, the price of a single gallon of milk will be $3.87," said Reagan "The price of a pound of chopped meat will be $4 87."
Reagan then went on to say "that of major importance to the American public is the very high grocery receipts that people must pay now at the cash register."
Reagan attacked the tax cut that Carter has proposed "I would impose a two percent across the board tax cut,” he'said "This would give the average American much more money to spend for their own personal needs."
Reagan said, "If there is another Carter Administration, there will be an across-the-board increase of $8U billion a year, and in five years there will be a tax cost of $500 billion nationally a year Now you can all see why there will be a balanced budget.
"It is for the people to spend their money and not for the government to spend it," Reagan added
Reagan got his most positive response of the evening on the issue of the refugee situation in Miami when he said the words "fine Cuban people who came over on the boatlift." The large Cuban crowd went hysterical with applause and mispronounced cheers of "Ree-gan, Ree-gan,"
Reagan said he "hoped America will always be a refuge for people that want to live and work in this country."
He then said, "the 100.000 refugees sent into Miami are not only Miami's concern, it is also the federal government's responsibility to provide funds for Miami Beach to handle this problem. Our refugee problem is a national one."
Reagan also discussed current Is-raeli-American relations. "Israel no longer trusts the American government They do not consider us an ally at the present time," he said
On the issue of the current unemployment situation in America, Reagan said "that the recovery process will begin when Jimmy Carter loses his job."
"The past three years have been an assault on the working class in America," Reagan said "1 am very concerned with the rampant rise of unemployment in this country. Every man and woman must have a job and provide adequately for their families."
Reagan defended his stance on social security. He claimed that he would secure social security. "It is a myth that I am against social security. I would do everything in my power so that no one would ever worry about receiving their check I will adjust the payments of social security to meet the inflation rate and the financial needs of the American people."
In his closing remarks. Reagan said, "With a new administration, there could be renewed hope and faith in the government We do not need to think the best days are in the past "
"It was a good show.” said White after the rally "Reagan accomplished what he set out to do The rally stimulated workers for his campaign
"I'm not sure the audience understood it all," he added
“The rally surprised me because it was a lot of fun," said one student who attended "The people really went wild whenever Reagan said he was going to do something However, he never got into specif-
