Two Schools Will Have Convocai1
"ITOVIU UJ

Two schools within the University — the School of Business Administration and the School of Architecture — will be holding their own convocation ceremonies for students graduating this semester.
UM does not have commencement exercises for only fall graduates; traditionally, these graduates have returned for the May ceremony.
The School of Business ceremony will be held Dec. 16 at 5 p.m. in Gusman Hall and the School of Architecture ceremony will be held Dec. 9 at 5 p.m. at Eaton Hall.
The School of Business will feature Dean Jack Borsting as the speaker. According to McElrath, the speech will be short and the
entire ceremony is expected to last about an hour. There will be a reception afterwards at the Jenkins Building.
Because of a “grassroots" campaign among business students, the School of Business Administration decided to have its own ceremony.
William McElrath, director of undergraduate studies in the Business School, has been planning the convocation. He said the school decided to hold a ceremony because “a number of graduating seniors felt they would like to have such a ceremony.”
He said the school surveyed undergraduates in some business courses and a “vast majority” said yes to the idea.
McElrath added that there will not be any diplomas, but a symbolic recognition of the students' achievements.
"We're not billing this as a graduation ceremony. The University has a graduation ceremony. This is only a convocation," said McElrath.
He said the students, which are very enthusiastic, led the dean to make the final decision to have a ceremony. “As a school we can accomodate it and should,” McElrath added.
He said this ties in with the increasing awareness of scholarship at UM and gives those students who are not returning a chance to participate in a convocation ceremony.
This is not the first time this sort of ceremony has taken place. The School of Engineering has also had convocations in the past.
McElrath said it is probable the School of Business will continue this In future years,
even if the University decides to have commencement for all fall graduates.
Registrar Sidney Weisburd said there would be too many problems in holding another commencement exercise in December because the students are Involved in finals and want to leave as early as possible once done with finals.
When the academic calendar ended in January, students did have a ceremony, but that is no longer possible because of the closeness of the holidays, he added.
“I know there has been some interest expressed by students, but there is still that problem," said Weisburd.
There are 154 undergraduates in business and 51 regular MBA's graduating this semester. The executive MBA's will have a separate ceremony the next day.

Students wanting tickets to UM's post-season bowl game, which should be the Orange Bowl, do have a chance to buy them. But they must first enter their name in a drawing of all students wanting to purchase
tickets.
The official bowl bid will not be received until 6 p.m. Saturday, but UM is virtually assured of the Orange Bowl berth and plans have been drawn for the distribution of tickets.
UM receives 12,500 tickets for the Orange Bowl. Students have been allocated about 1,000 seats. The rest will go to Athletic Federation members, season-ticket holders and the developmental affairs (fund-raising) office.
Ticket Director Tom Collins said every football player and coach will get four tickets — which they get for every game per NCAA regulations — and all band members must be given tickets.
Collins, also said the other allocations had not been determinedand they will be announced Saturday at the Mark Light Stadium party when UM receives the bowl bid.
Students who want to buy tickets (they're going for $20), must sign up for a drawing this Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday in the Breezeway of the Student Union between 11 a m. and 6 p.m. Signing up only guarantees you a spot in the drawing.
Only full-time undergraduate and graduate students (those with the blue or gold background on their ID) are eligible. Students must bring their ID.
The drawing will take place the following Wednesday, Nov. 23, from 11-2 p.m. at the Patio and those chosen can purchase their tickets that Friday (Nov. 25).
A corporate mixer, held last Tuesday amid the sur-unding works of art in the Lowe Art Museum, gave presentatives from major South Florida businesses a iance to see what University of Miami students are all
lout.
The cocktail party, sponsored by the Student Alum-Association, was an informal way for students to ingle with representatives from major corporations id career fields in the South Florida area, and also to ve UM students an opportunity to make future-job intacts.
According to Gina Rodriguez, president of the Stu->nt Alumni Association, an important function of the irporate mixer was to promote student-alumni relams. Many of the corporate representatives were

UM alumni who, according to Rodriguez, were eager to give job opportunities to UM students.
“We are proud to be able to facilitate these events for UM students,” said Rodriguez. "We are students promoting alumni relations.”
Julio Plutt, chairman of the corporate mixer committee and its main organizer, believes the event was a success in bringing students closer to alumni. Approximately 120 students and business representatives attended the mixer.
“We want to get the corporations to participate and meet with the students. In this way they can help make the transition into the job market easier for juniors and seniors,” said Plutt. “Alumni help make the transition easier because they are usually familiar with the situation.”

The holidays are near. For many this means time off — from work, from studies. That’s just fine, they feel.
Yet others are different. Some are adventure seekers with a give-me-something-to-do spunk.
Well, that time of the year is near for them, too.
Enter the UM geography department and its 10-day trip to Peru. On	Courtesy of geography department

a troop of enthusiasts will visit Peru and extensively travel and explore the country. And you are invited — as the department would like to include perhps 10 or 12 more students on its escapade.
The trip will cover'the following locations: Lima and the La Costa Desert, the Andes mountains and the city of Cuzco, the periodic market of Pisac, the ruins of Machu Pichu, the Amazon jungle and the city of Iquitos.
The cost of the trip is $985, including airfare and most expenses. Since this is for three credits in geography, tuition payment is also
necessary.
Students may apply the fulfillment of this course to satisfying requirements for a major or minor in geography, the social science requirements for a bachelor's in Arts and Sciences, or the general elective requirements for a B.A. or B.S. degree. Graduate credits can also be earned.
First it's off to Cuzco, the heart of the ancient Inca Empire.
The next day the group will head down to Pisac, north of Cuzco, and attend a typical market dav there.
Come morning, the lost city of Macchu Picchu is the destination. The whole day will be spent studying this ancient marvel, discovered in 1915 by a Yale archaeologist.
On Dec. 31, the group leaves Cuzco for Lima, Peru’s largest city, with has a population of 5 million. It was constructed by conquerer Francisco Pizarro on the eve of Spanish domination in Peru.
The last leg of the excursion is a trip to Iquitos, in the heart of the Amazon jungle. The two-day stay in the tropical rain forest setting will include a jungle walk, a visit with the Yagua Indian tribe, a canoe ride along the river, and a free afternoon to fish, hike or just relax.
The group will return to Miami Jan. 5.

Women discuss sex harassment
By LOURDES FERRER
Hurricane Associate News Editor
The issue of sexual harassment was the focus of a luncheon meeting held Tuesday by the University of Miami Women’s Commission.
Wilhemena Black, director of UM’s Affirmative Action Office, discussed and showed vignettes to a group of about 45 university women — faculty and students — of the myths, facts, misconceptions and the legal basis behind sexual harassment. The sexual harassment policy at UM was adopted this March.
Most people who are sexually harassed go through the “guilt feelings” and are usually reluctant to discuss it for fear of the repercussions that may be involved, said Black.
If you have a problem with sexual harassment, the key is to seek advice. "No one can resolve a prob-
V^m^.£Dv^
has to be willing to make the first step and be willing to discuss the problem with a counselor or affirmative action officer."
All complaints of sexual harassment, whether filed formally or informally, are kept confidential and normally will not be discussed with anyone without consent.
The following are tips in confronting sexual harassment:
•	Be direct. Say “no" immediately. Most harassment stops when you communicate clearly that such behavior is not wanted, not flattering and not complimentary.
•	Keep a record of the indi-dent(s), indicate when it took place and include the names of all witnesses.
•	If the conduct persists, inform the designated sexual harassment counselor in your school that this behavior is occurring.
•	If the action continues, file a written formal complaint with the Office of Personnel and Affirmative Action so that an investigatin can be taken to resolve the situation.
Any questions concerning this policy or ch>T|u of muti harassment should be directed to the Affirmative Action Office at 547-5640 or 284-4476.
On a college campus, a common form of sexual harassment — to students or faculty — includes the threat or insinuation that sexual submission or the lack of it will be used as a basis for employment or educational decisions affecting or Interfering with, for example, an individual’s salary, academic standing or career development.
A university student who feels he/she has been sexually harassed has two options: to resolve the matter through informal procedure and/or formal procedure.
Students are encouraged to use informal procedure first by discussing the complaint with the designated school or college counselor appointed by the Dean. The counselor — who is available to provide guidance and assistance to help the student resolve the grievance.
To file a formal grievance a student is required to submit a written statement — should be filed within 30 calendar days from the date of the incident — to the Affirmative Action Office. They will investigate the charges and recommend appropriate action be taken.
Signs
The following are different tell-tale signs of sexual harassment:
Verbal:
•	Sexual innuendo
•	Suggestive comments
•	Insults, humor and jokes about sex or gender
•	Specific traits
•	Sexual propositions and threats.
Non-Verbal:
•	Suggestive or insulting sounds
•	Jeering
•	Whistling
•	Obscene gestures and graphics.
Physical:
•	Touching
•	Pinching
•	Brushing the body
•	Coerced sexual intercourse and assault.

Hurricane Staff Writer
In an office of Coconut Grove's brand new Roland Continental Plaza, 3250 Mary St., sits a man who would like to hit the jackpot one more time. He is University of Miami Trustee Emeritus James Arthur Ryder.
That is Ryder as in “Ryder rents trucks." And that is also Ryder as in the James A. Ryder Transportation Co., more commonly known as Jartran.
Ryder’s newest project Is Jarmada, a boat renting, leasing, and selling outfit. It is one which Ryder feels will go over big not only in South Florida, but all over the country.
Ryder was born 70 years ago in Columbus, Ohio. When he was six his family moved to Miami, where Ryder has lived ever since.
