Maggie Ramirez, the reigning Homecoming Queen as of Friday, hopes to obtain a master's degree and become an opera soprano. Ramirez said she was “shocked" at being named the new Queen. “It didn't dawn on me until the day after." She admitted to having to look down at her number when it was announced to make sure it was her. If she had lost, she said, she would not have regretted entering. “Everybody wants to win, that's why they’re there," she said. "But there are other things in life and there are other pageants. You have to keep going and say to yourself, 'Maybe next time.’ ’’ When asked about the other girls, she said they all got along really well and that the hardest competition was herself. "It takes practice. I had to become more aware of myself. That was the hardest part." Marty Phillips, Miss Florida 1979, was hostess for the evening. She entertained the audience with her comic version of her experiences in pageants and as Miss Florida. Evelyn Torres, Miss University of Miami 1982, displayed her singing talent with New York, New York as the audience clapped along. Decorated to the Homecoming theme of "UM ...

The talent competition was followed by a 10-minute intermission and a second performance by Dansemble Gold with a dance rendition of the top five hits on the Billboard chart. Then came the swimsuit competition. Each contestant walked in front of the judges. What the audience didn't see, and something that was an important factor, was the personal interview that each contestant had with the judges. While the audience, as well as the contestants, waited for the final results, Torres returned to the spotlight to sing I Found a Miracle. Also during the wait, John Stofan, Student Union program director, thanked Monty Trainer for donating $1,000 in prize scholarship money. Lew Yagodnik, manager of the Rathskeller, and Eric Spriggs, chairman of the Rathskeller Advisory Board, presented a “big check" in the amount of $1,000 on a large piece of cardboard in the form of a check. The John Robert Powers Modeling and Finishing School donated a $600 modeling scholarship to the winner in preparation for the Miss Florida Pageant. As the audience patiently waited for the announcement of the winner, Phillips showed the talent she displayed for the pageants she entered on her clarinet, as she played a medley beginning with Begin the Beguine and ending with As The Saints go Marching In. After Phillips finished her performance, Torres took her final walk as queen and the winners were announced. They began with the award for the contestant who sold the most advertisements to be published in the program. This award went to Phi-Van I.e, a Vietnamese from Miami Springs.

She said that she feels that the interview is what won it for her. “I was confident and sure of myself. What you feel comes across in the way you look. " Ramirez, who sang Glitter and be Gay, has been taking formal voice lessons since she was 16 . "As a musician, I love all types of music, but I particularly enjoy the opera world." She attends and performs operatic works which fill her "artistic soul." She also works out at a health spa to change the "fat lady" image of women opera singers. Ramirez thinks that all women should enter pageants because they should “try to aspire and broaden their horizons." “I feel women can reach unlimited heights if they're consistent and dedicated," she said. Miami Hurricane/SHERYL RAPEL Miss University of Miami 1 Maggie Ramirez is crowned by Evelyn Torres, last year’s Miss UM U.N. breakfast focuses on peace By LOURDES FERRER Hurricune Associate News editor The United Nations is a truly universal organization and a consumer raising body, said Dr. Owen Kahn in discussing the problems and prospects of the United Nations in a breakfast on Friday. The breakfast was sponsored by the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO) to kick off "United Nations Day." Kahn is assistant professor of the department of politics and public al fairs who worked as policy analyst for the U.N He said the U.N. controls the conduct of international organizations and helps maintain peace and security. According to Kahn, the U.N. assists in refugee problems, the improve merit of health standards, women's rights, international pollution problem and the third world countries. It has an obligation, he said, to help tin weak and poor countries of the world “These programs would not exist if the U.N. loses support of its measures, Kahn said. "No one benefits by having large numbers of starving refugees or from the spread of nuclear weapons The U.N. docs not pretend to be a world government of any sort and docs not set out to change human nature " Kahn said the U.N. is a place where Eastern and Western bloc countries, particularly the U.S. and Soviet Union, can quarrel. “The U N can keep them apart from conflict," he said.

It acts as "preventive diplomacy." Please turn to page T/COISO Butler, Lee defend emphasis on honors program By MARLENE J. EGUIZABAL Hurricane Staff Writer Speaking to a group of about 40 students attending a USBG- sponsored Open Forum — the second of the semester — Provost William Lee and Vice President for Student Affairs William Butler Thursday strongly defended this year's emphasis on the honors program. The two UM administrators urged students to view the program “as a good thing" because many aspects of the program, if successful, may be incorporated into the university community in general. Said Lee: "The honors program is the model, the prototype of things to come at UM. Don't look at it as a threat, but as a chance to make things better for all students.” He also told students that the emphasis on honors does not imply the neglect of the average student. "The average student is the backbone of this university," he said. "I was a regular 2.5 student. What has happened is that for very long we've had more 'average and below' (students] and we are now trying to counteract that to have a balance.” Butler then took the stand to agree: "The honors program offers us an opportunity to get new things done — to create and experiment. The program helps all of you because, if successful, they may be incorporated into other areas of campus life.” Such programs. Butler added, include the faculty fellows housing arrangements to be inaugurated next year. In this arrangement honors students will have the opportunity to live in a residential college where a professor living on the premises will be available to provide assistance and individual attention for the student residents.

Butler also announced the establishment of a task force to study and make recommendations on various aspects of student life. He said its recommendations will serve to develop action plans for short and long execution. Headed by different directors, the task force will be subdivided into several groups focusing on particular areas of the campus. According to Butler, the seven areas to be reviewed are Greek organizations, the International House, commuter students. Career Planning and Placement, black and minority students, the Student Activity Fee and the Lane Center. Following are the highlights of the Open Forum: Computerization: Basketball: Butler said the Lane Center task force also will study the issue of where the 1985 basketball team should practice. Although saying that various possibilities exist, among them going off campus or practicing in the Lane Center, Butler said the best solution would be to establish a multipurpose field house that would accommodate many activities, such as concerts, lectures and intramural sports. “A multipurpose field house would be ideal because it would accommodate so many," said Butler. "We have various options available now. but we're going to need a facility on campus in the long run." Minority students and professors: Lee said it is difficult to recruit black teachers because national demand for them is so high "We haven’t done well in this area." he said. "Recruitment of black professors is an area we're greatly concerned about." Lee also said Ronald Hammond, the new director of minority student recruitment, is working to increase minority student enrollment. Housing: We're giving a new emphasis to residence halls, Butler said "The super singles program (singles residence for graduate business and law students) was so well-received that it will be carried on to next year We re now looking at configurations to satisfy this type of demand Competition from other schools: Lee said FIU competes strongly with UM for students enrolling in lower-paying professions, such as nursing For higher-paying careers, though, it's a different story. "In higher-paying professions, we compete with large private institutions such as Tulane, Duke, and Washington University," he said "In high-paying areas, our competition is certainly not FID " Professor tenureship: Lee said professors who do not agree to be evaluated by students mat find it difficult to receive tenureship Activity Fee: Despite commenting on how inflation has eroded buying power, Butler did not state whether the activity fee would be increased for the next academic year. Butler did say, however, he would await the Activity Fee task force's recommendations before considering any action. "The Activity Fee has not been raised for years. Inflation continues, but SAFAC has done a tremendous job of handling the great demand for r-'-AW' he «nid. I Student opinions: Butler and Lee said they were both interested in hearing from students. Butler invited students to participate in an upcoming student-administration eookout designed to improve lines of communication between UM officials and the student body Concluding the session, Butler said: "All interested students are welcome to stor by the office — I will see to it that thev get an invitation " Lee said that "following recommendation of the visiting committee, the Board of Trustees approved $13.5 million for computer applications in areas such as registration and student accounts.” The gradual move to computerization will take seven years. When asked how the UNIVAC CPU will handle the projected increase in terminal corrections (to be installed by the project), Butler said that the $13.5 million allocation includes provisions for tripling the power of the UNIVAC's capacity In addition, he said, administrative accounts of the school will be gradually transferred to the university's IBM systems.
