The key to the Hurricanes’ 20-0 shutout of Notre Dame was UM’s ability to control the ball when they had to and inability of Notre Dame to do the same
By ANDREW MILLER
Hurricane Staff Writer
The old saying that the team which controls the ball will control the game held true in Saturday night's game between the University of Miami and the University of Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.
The Hurricanes, led by the passing of Bernie Kosar and the outstanding play of the defensive unit, left little doubt about who is the better team as they went on to shut out the lifeless Irish, 20-0, in front of 52,480 cheering fans and a national television audience.
The key appeared to be the ability of the Hurricanes to control the ball and pick up the crucial first down when they had to and the ina-
bility of Notre Dame to do the same when they had to.
After Miami won the toss and elected to kick off, the Irish were greeted by a fired-up Miami defense that would hold the nation's third-leading rushing attack to 107 yards all evening. On the first series of the game, Miami forced Notre Dame quarterback Blair Kiel to run out of bounds short of first down on a third-and-three play.
Notre Dame got the ball back several plays later when Kosar made his only mistake of the game, a throw that was tipped and intercepted by linebacker Rick Naylor. However, the Miami defense forced the Irish to punt four plays later After an eight-play drive, Miami was forced to punt — only to have
Notre Dame return the punt four plays later.
The Hurricanes made their second turnover when Kosar found tight end Glenn Dennison over the middle, but Dennison fumbled and Irish linebacker Mike Kovaleski recovered.
Two plays later, Miami linebacker Jay Brophy returned the favor by intercepting a Kiel pass.
"We worked very hard on our pass coverage this week, and I think it paid off for us," Brophy said. “We watched the film of last year's game to see what worked against them.
“Our disciplined drops in covering the pass was what caused them problems all night. They don’t run any special pass patterns, so if we do what we should, we can stop them.”
Following Brophy's interception, Kosar and the rest of the offense put together an eight-play drive, culminating in a two-yard touchdown run by Speedy Neal to give Miami a 7-0 first-quarter lead.
Winston Moss recovered a fumble by Irish running back Chris Smith to give the Hurricanes the

Tribune to vie with Hurricane

The Miami Tribune, a conservative-backed newspaper run by a UM student, is ready to begin competing with the Miami
Hurricane.
"We feel we are able to compete | with The Hurricane|,” said sophomore Mike Johns, founder and editor-in-chief of the Tribune.
But the Tribune must be approved by the UM Board of Student Publications before it can be distributed on campus. Johns will appear before the board Oct. 4.
Johns said he has funding for the entire year from "outside conservative" donors. Two he mentioned were the Institute of Kducational Affairs in New York and the Education Foundation in Tennessee.
Johns also is president of UM’s College Republicans. He is considering resigning from that position because of confusion between the two organizations. "They’re two different areas,” he said.
The first edition of the Tribune is supposed to come out in September. "The first issue is in the typesetter and will be printed by the end of this week," Johns said.
Johns said the paper will have a total circulation of 12,000. The
campus circulation, he said, will be 10,000, the same as that of the Hurricane.
Johns also wants to compete with the Hurricane for advertising. "We want to compete on an advertising level, so we can become independent,” he said yesterday. "Competition in the real world and the university community is good.”
Johns has found a faculty advisor, Dr. June Dreyer, a professor In the politics and public affairs department.
Johns said the Rev. Henry Mi-nich, chairman of the Board of Student Publications, told him that he does not see "any problem” with having the type of display advertising the Tribune seeks — Washinglon-based and conservative.
Minich said Johns told him the Tribune will receive advertising backing from national conservative groups antf local businesses.
The Board of Student Publications' policies do not let splinter publications accept advertising that might decrease advertising sales of the Miami Hurricane.
"I told Johns that if he met all the criteria of the Board as a splinter publication, I saw no reason why he wouldn't be approved by the board," Minich said.
Earlier this month, Minich said Johns asked and pressured him to authorize distribution of the Tribune over the phone
“I told Johns that under no circumstances can he distribute the paper until it’s brought before the board," Minich said. “If he does [distribute). I'll vote to veto the paper before the board members."
Johns said he would not distribute the paper on campus if the board did not approve. But he added,“Then this thing will take a different angle." Johns refused to comment on what he would do, saying only that board disapproval would be in violation of freedom of the press.
Unlike the two major publications on campus — the Miami Hurricane and the Ibis yearbook — the Tribune is not an official publication of this university, so it will not receive any funding, Minich said.
Another splinter publication, the Menorah Star, was in a similar situation last year. The Star was published by Hillel for Jewish students on campus. The paper was distributed before Hillel obtained the permission of the board. The board later approved The Star.
Johns said the publication currently has about 35 students on Its staff.
"The Miami Tribune will be dedicated to provide quality journalism consistently,” Johns
said.
According to Johns, the publication will promote "sound unbiased journalism."
It will be a bipartisan newspaper with a "mixture of coverage," said Johns.
Minich said that Johns — as well as any other student or organization — has the right to produce a paper and present a conservative viewpoint
As president of UM’s College Republicans, Johns heads an organization in which conservatives voice their opinions.
According to Johns, College Republicans promotes the platform and candidates of the Republican Party, provides college students a means of a practical political education and provides a means to encourage participation in activities of the party.
"We are the powerhouse of conservatives on campus, and we have also established ourselves in the community," said Johns.
UM College Republicans was named Club of the Nation at the College Republicans National Convention held in Arlington, Va., in July.
“We have become a rather powerful organization in this campus," Johns said. He also said he believes College Republicans is "the spokesman for student interests in general.”
Johns said this year College Republicans is planning to fight for the Solomon Amendment, which advocates withholding financial aid from students who have not registered for the draft, through a letter-writing campaign and through the Tribune.
Quality of education
By MAGGIE SCHINDLER
Special to the Hurricane
Editor's note. This is the first in a Miami Hurricane series on higher education in Florida. This story focuses on the quality of education.
Quality, especially in education, means different things to different
people.
In a consideration of the quality of Florida's higher education system, it is necessary to examine faculty, facilities, programs/extra-curricular activities, finances and accreditation.
For the purpose of examining the quality of some of these colleges, this article will focus on Florida State University, Florida Atlantic University, University of Florida and Univeristy of Miami
These four universities may not be representative of all universities in Florida, but they give some insight as to what Florida’s higher education system has to offer students in terms of quality.
FACULTY
The first area of condsideration which influences quality is the faculty In any university, the professors can make or break the type and quality of education.
The ideal learning environment for a student would be in a university where the student-faculty ratio is 15:1.

Hiflhei Education
The University of Florida and the University of Miami meet these standards with ratios of 12:1 and 13:1, respectively. Florida Atlantic University and Florida State University fall short of this goal with ratios of 20:1 or above.
All four universities boast of prominent faculties in which at least 50 percent of the members hold doctorate degrees. Of the remaining faculty members at the universities, 75 percent hold master's degrees.
FACILITIES
Another aspect of the quality of education is the facilities — these include libraries, computer centers, broadcasting studios, art galleries and living quarters.
All four universities have libraries with holdings of at least 1,000,000 volumes. The University of Florida, however, outnumbers the others with a collection of over 2,000,000 volumes.
The University of Florida also has the newest facilities. These include a computer center, language labs, an art gallery and museum, television and radio broadcast studios and research laboratories.
UM, FAU, and FSU have considerably fewer facilities, with UM's facilities being the most outdated.
All four offer student housing, with FAU having the newest and most modern. Officials from the other three universities have said campus and dormitory renovations are in progress.
PROGRAMS
Majors offered by each university, honors programs and special interest groups also figure into the quality of education.
UF, the largest of these universities, offers 125 majors. It is followed by FSU, which offers 95; FAU with 86; and UM with 70.
Honors programs offer select students the opportunity to excel beyond the average level taught in the classrooms. In the past, UM has had the most intensive program, with approximately 15 students per class
UM also offers the greatest number of honors classes. Other universities have considerably fewer honors classes and average 25-30 students to a class
UM and UF oiler the largest number of extra-curricular activities, with 200 and 150 groups, respectively. These include academically related clubs, athletic teams, fraternities and sororities. FSU and FAU offer approximately 100 clubs.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is considered important since many students would be unable to attend college without aid.
Strong financial aid packages are offered by all four. Packages include ftants, scholorships and loans. Each university has different require-mentsTnut manage to provide substantial aid. f
Ex-UM student
not to be found

Last Thursday, Barbara Valmanas, a former part-time student at UM. was believed to have been abducted from Westland Mall.
However, where Valmanas has been is just as uncertain as where she
is now.
Her parents. Juan and Clara, believe that she is currently a student at UM In fact, they gave her tuition money for this semester, according to Hialeah Detective Bob Spiegal
University records show that Valmanas, a Hialeah resident, was not
registered this term
Valmanas, who had a 1.0 grade point average last semester at UM, was reported as an “honors student" in the Miami Herald. She has never been in the honors program, nor has she the grade point average to be considered an honors student.
She was also reported to be graduating in December, but a list of graduating students does not show her name
According to Marilyn Mower of the UM News Bureau, Valmaflas came to the School of Education for advising in April 16, 1982. She was not admitted into the School, though, because an SAT score was never submitted.
She was listed as wanting to major in secondary teaching/ educational psychology, which means she probably wished to be a high school teacher in psychology. Mower said.
A transfer student from Miami-Dade Community College, where she studied for five semesters, she took two courses in the College of Arts and Sciences as an undeclared major in the Fall of 1982. She received a C and a NG (No Grade).
In the Spring semester, she took four courses in the School of Continuing F.ducation. Of those courses, she completed only two, with grades of D.
“Her parents had no idea that she might have flunked out." Spiegal said. "We’re looking at all angles. There Is the possibility she ran away or the possibility of an abduction because of the car.”
Valmaftas' 1980 Buick Riviera was found unlocked and ransacked at the mall. She had told her parents — at 6 p.m. that day — that she was going to a mall to buy a card and then going to a friend’s house for a party.
The car was found by her parents, who were worried when their daughter — who they say always calls them — had not phoned by 11 p.m.
They called her friend, who hadn’t seen her, and then searched the parking lots of stores in the area until they found her car.
Oreste Herrera, a family friend who has been answering the phone at their home, said that as far as the family knew, Valmanas has been attending the university.
Leonardo Valmanas, Barbara's eldest brother, said he knew of no jobs she might have had He added that family members visited UM late Monday as part of an investigation.
UM President Edward T Foote called Barbara’s parents Monday to "express concern for her safety," Mower said.
There have been no new leads or suspects as to her whereabouts.
Spiegal says that in most instances, a person who has lived in a certain area will stay in that area. He added that if any students might have any information, they should contact Hialeah police.
IBM computers aid engineering

Through a new agreement with IBM Corporation, the College of Engineering will strengthen its industrial-robotics program.
Norman G. Einspruch, dean of the college, announced that IBM has placed an IBM 7535 manufacturing system and an IBM Personal Computer to be used for research and teaching in the department of industrial engineering.
The 7535 manufacuturing system, which includes a manipulator, control unit and pneumatic gripper, can be directed by computer to perform a variety of mechanical tasks The high-technology equipment is being used in the design of modern manufacturing systems in order to increase resource-use efficiency.
“In the highly competitive world market, it is essential that the United States manufacture products of high quality at minimum cost,” said Charles Kromp, chairman of the department of industrial engineering Robots may also be used to perform monotonous or hazardous tasks, added Kromp
"Machines can lift heavy weights over extended periods of time without fatigue and can operate in hazardous environments," he said.
The IBM system and computer will he used to teach fundamentals of industrial robotics to students in the state-supported manufacuturing and engineering program, a study optional in industrial engineering.
Qualified upper-level students are eligible to enroll in the UM manufacturing and engineering program at tuition rates equivalent to those of state universities.
The faculty will also use the IBM robotics equipment as a research tool, evaluating the system and identifying new applications in industrial manufacturing
Said Kromp: "By placing increased academic and research emphasis on such rapidly expanding areas of high technology, we will prepare our students for the industrial engineering jobs of the ’80s and ‘90s."

Astronomy students at UM will be able to see the universe more clearly next year because of a $165,000 donation for new equipment.
The grant is a gift from the Miami-based Polish-American Congress Copernicus Commemorative Committee <^ll of the funds came from private donations and took 10
years to raise, said Professor Douglas Duke.
Two observatory domes and a computer simulation lab will be built with the funds, Duke said. A new telescope, a 16” reflector, also will be purchased at a cost of $25,000. A 10" refractor, in storage for the past 15 years, will be put to use inside of one of the domes The two domes will be 15 feet in
