GAINESVILLE — Quarterback Wayne Peace threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to fullback James Jones, with 1:48 to play as the University of Florida rallied, 17-14, past the University of Miami Hurricanes Saturday.
"I want to congratulate them (the Gators] for executing when we didn't,” said Coach Howard Schnel-lenberger.
‘‘They showed a -at deal of determination and are a fine team. We were unable to execute offensively and were shut down defensively when it counted," he said.
With the goal line 22 yards at their back, less than five minutes to play, and the crowd of 71,864 screaming, the Miami defenders dug in and turned back Florida on a fourth down and two as Miami held on to a slim four-point lead.
“I thought when our defense stopped them in the fourth quarter, we'd get another drive going." said Miami defensive tackle Tony Chick-illo. “We just couldn’t do it."
When the Hurricanes took over on downs they could not move the ball and were forced to punt.
With the clock running out, Peace, who was named the player of the game after throwing for 220 yards on 18 of 24 passing, marched the Florida team 61 yards to give the Gators their first win over Miami in five years.
The Hurricanes had taken the lead on a one-yard plunge by halfback Mark Rush on their first possession of the second half.
The game featured a hard-hitting Florida defense which all day long
kept the long passing game from Miami's Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Jim Kelly.
Kelly, who hit 18 of 30 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception, was in mid-season form as he drilled passes to his receivers across the flat all day long.
“We punished them,” said Florida left cornerback Bruce Vaughan. “We got on their minds. If they got a shot at catching the ball, we hoped they would drop it.
"I'm not sure if they were thinking more aboitt us than about catching the ball," he said
“We wanted to intimidate them," said cornerback Tony Lily, who along with Vaughan put a vicious hit on UM wide receiver Rocky Belk when he went after what appeared to be a 20- yard completion during Miami's opening drive.
The double hit jarred the ball lose and the Hurricanes had to punt.
“We wanted to intimidate them. With that first pass. I think it affected his mind. He dropped a couple he should have caught." Lily said.
The Miami defense, on the other hand, was erratic at times, and could not stop Florida when it really counted.
Tightends Chris Faulkner and Mike Mularkey caught seven passes between them for 89 yards, all of them underneath the linebackers.
"They caught us in the wrong defenses,” Coach Howard Schnellen-berger said. “And you can't just defense one thing and let everything else go. The way their running game went so well also opened things up for the tight ends,” he said.

Preliminary figures released by the UM Admissions dffice show that SAT scores for the freshman class have jumped 27 points over last year to 1,0J1, compared to 984 last year. In addition, the size of the class has stabilized this year to approximately 1625 students or about the same number as last year.
“The quality of this year’s freshman class is extremely good," said Admissions Director George Giampetro. “Although it is very difficult to raise SAT scores. UM exerted a great deal of effort into recruiting quality students. That effort, plus a new scholarship program for students scoring 1100 or better on their SAT s, helped greatly,” he said.
Giampetro said that for the first time, faculty called incoming freshmen to urge them to enroll at UM and to answer any questions they might have.
“They were very enthusiastic about calling." Giampetro said. “We timed it so that the faculty talked to the students after the scholarship awards were given out. That kind of faculty cooperation has never happened before in UM history."
This renewed push for academic quality has resulted in a significant increase in number of students in the honors program. Dr. James Ash, director of honors and privileged studies, said 280 freshmen and transfer honors students have been admitted — up from 130 from last year.
To qualify for honors studies, students need an SAT score of 1,200. As UM studerts, they need to maintain a 3.3 grade point average.
UM increased the number of scholarships to outstanding students. Twelve Isaac Bashevis Singer scholarships were given to students whose average SAT scores were 1424. These scholarships, which grant full tuition, are named in honor of the Nobel Laureate who teaches in the UM English department.	___________________

SAT Scores Are Up From Last Year, While Enrollment Has Stabilized
There are also 125 Henry King Stanford scholars with SAT scores of 1,200 or better and 100 Jay F. W. Pearson scholars who scored 1,100 or better on the SAT. The former receive one-half tuition benefits; the latter, one-fourth.
Seventeen students were admitted this year into the Honors Program in Medical Education. This program, in its second year, guaran-
tees selected students a place in the UM Medical School upon completion of their undergraduate studies. The average SAT scores of this group is 1,412.
Nearly 54 percent of this year’s freshman class is from Florida — the same figure as last year. “We are doing fairly well in Dade County," Giampetro said. "We are holding our own."
Methodist Minister Gets 4Higli From Working With Students

After finishing his Ph D in Systematic Theology, back in 1977, the last thing Phil Sagaser wanted to be was a minister. He found a job selling insurance and earned good money. But this lifestyle wasn't the kind he wanted for himself. So a year later, Sagaser took a job as associate pastor at a San Antonio church It was then that he discovered that the ministry was not so bad, after all.
Today, Sagaser is the new Methodist minister at UM's Wesley Center, succeeding Polly Cook, who served there for nineteen years. Although new to this university, Sagaser is not new to college campuses. having worked in the Methodist Student Center at San Antonio College since 1980. During that time. Sagaser was district coordinator of Young Adult Ministries in the San Antonio district of the United Methodist Church. The following year, he taught major world religions and the philosophy of religion at San Antonio College
"College is the time when people are setting out to find what they know about the world and them-selves.' Sagaser said, explaining why the campus ministry is so vital.. “It's a unique time to influence them ¡college students]. People who are older have made more decisions, so it's harder to have an effect on them." >
Sagaser chose to be a campus minister since he “wanted to merge church and college interests into one place. Working in Miami,” he said, "was a good opportunity to do that.
“I’ve enjoyed it here at the University." said the soft-spoken 33-year-old. "There is an interesting cultural mix here which keeps things from getting dull."
Different from other schools he has visited. Sagaser described the UM campus as having students with much more diversified backgrounds.
“A typical school of this size usually has a larger population of Protestant students,” Sagaser said. “Yet, regardless of religious affiliation or non-affiliation, we hope to offer services to different groups and community members."
Such services will include monthly forums sponsored by the Wesley Center with panel discussions consisting of a half dozen professors.
Sagaser will also be placing a weekly column in the Hurricane, paid for by the Wesley Center, called "The Eye." There will also be Sunday programming, including a bible study at 9 a m. and an evening fellowship program. Activities are being done jointly with the campus Presbyterian and Lutheran organizations.
Sagaser can usually be found at the Wesley Cen-Ple^e turn to page 3/SAGASER
Giampetro said that Florida International University has not been a threat to UM in terms of recruiting. “Students looking at UM and FIU are looking at different institutions," he said. “The two institutions are unique enough in many respects to make the distinction clear.
“If FIU became more of a residential campus, it may affect us. but it is primarily a commuter school now."
Giampetro made the distinction that while FIU calls its freshmen and sophomores honors students, its average SAT score is 1050 to 1060. "In our honors program," Giampetro said, “the average SAT score is 1290 to 1295."
International students continue to be a major part of UM's freshman class. Approximately 180 freshmen are internationals or about 10 percent of the class.
"Some of these international students are outstanding." Giampetro said "We have a very diversified group. Most are from the Caribbean or are Latin American, but many also come from the Far East. In the last two years, we have been recruiting extensively there, and it has paid tremendous dividends. These students are top notch," he said.
UM recruited in Hong Kong, Singapore. Malasia. and Thailand last year, working in a consortium with other universities, including Boston University and the University of Southern California
Fifteen Presidential and Stanford scholarships were awarded to international students. One student from Peru had a 1,500 SAT score, Giampetro slid

Record numbers of students are visiting campus counseling centers with the “financial aid blues,” according to a recently released University of Iowa report.
"It used to be that most students were worried about making it academically,” said Ron May. director of clinical services at the counseling center and director of the study.
"That’s all changed now," he said. “Now they are worried about financial considerations. Many are not sure they can pay for school next year."
Here at UM, there is also a great deal of concern about financial aid loss, according to Dr. Malcolm Kahn, clinical supervisor of UM's Guidance Center.
"There has been some uncertainty and insecurity during the beginning of the semester because students didn't know if their financial aid would continue," said Kahn.
He added that it was too early to tell how much cuts in financial aid would affect UM students and that there is no program for this kind of depression, but he “can see it coming.”
Kahn said "quite a few" students went to the counseling center in a panic and that some of them were not able to attend the University due to a lack of funds for tuition.
"We try to operate as if they were going to stay." said Kahn, concerning students who go there for counseling
Says Iowa's May: "The students are saying that their concerns are urgent. We're seeing more of a crisis mentality. Students are coming in extremely upset that they can t get a loan or get into a financial aid program "
The biggest danger of the so-called “financial aid blues," said May. is that it reduces a student's ability to cope with the normal
day-to-day problems of college life.
"It lowers their coping threshold," he added. “If they're having trouble with a relationship or something else, this saps their resources and causes them to come in for counseling when they wouldn’t otherwise."
May said that their center is "seeing a lot of students who would normally use existing support sources — friends, family, and fellow students — but they just reach their stress threshold faster and need additional counseling.”
“There has been some uncertainty and insecurity during the beginning of the semester because students didn’t know if their financial aid would continue.’
Dr. Malcolm Kahn Supervisor, UM Counseling Center
Typically, he says, financial aid is just one of the many problems that students bring to the center.
“Students are coming in with more multiple concerns," he reports. “They may have a number of worries — personal relationships, academic, social — and financial aid just throws them over their limit."
The counseling center has also noted "a lot of suicide potential this year,” he said, although the actual number of “psychological emergencies" has declined.
Overall, May says, “the average student who is having to cope with things has more and more problems," and adding financial aid to the list could have "broad implications."
This report was supplemented with material from the College Press Service.
