The Hurricanes climbed up the mountain Saturday, reached the top and sent West Virginia tumbling down
Miami’s 20-3 victory over the Mountaineers was a hard-fought battle. The Hurricane defense prevailed by putting in its finest performance to date, meeting West Virginia head on in a Homecoming clash in the Orange Bowl.
Miami's defense held the Mountaineer offense to a total of 210 yards. Just two of those yards were from rushing — an impressive UM defensive effort, considering West Virginia had been averaging 177 yards rushing and 398 yards total offense going into the game
UM's defense was ranked third in the nation going into the game. After the performance it turned in. it should be ranked No. 1.
"We played a hell of a football team,” said Coach Howard Schnellen-berger.’Tt took a hell of a defensive effort to shut down this football team.”
The Mountaineers were unable to score after their first possession, in which they put three on the board with a 21-yard Paul Woodside field goal.
The field goal may have been a gift from the Hurricanes, the result of an interference call at the West Virginia 43 in a second-and-11 situation that marched the Mountaineers to the UM 25 and a first down. Four plays later the nets went up behind the goalpost and Woodside was kicking.
On Miami’s first possession, quarterback Bernie Kosar handed off to Albert Bentley for a gain of nine yards, just short of a first down Two plays later, when Miami was stalling, Kosar handed off to Speedy Neal, who gained two yards and the first down
It took 14 plays and ate four minutes and 26 seconds, but Miami drove 81 yards down the field to put a touchdown on the board.
The score came on a Kosar-to-Glenn Dennison connection for 19 yards. Jeff Davis' point after was good, giving UM a four-point lead on the Mountaineers early in the game.
The second quarter saw a battle between the defenses, with Miami coming out on top. On West Virginia’s first possession of the second quarter, Mountaineer quarterback Jeff Hostetler was intercepted by Jay Bro-phy on an assist from Fred Robinson, giving UM the ball on the West Virginia 44.
The Hurricanes drove 25 yards in four plays to reach the 19 on fourth and three, which brought Davis back on the field for a 36-yard field goal attempt. Davis’ kick was good, running UM's total to 10.
West Virginia took the ball on their 35 and drove to the l!M 17, where on fourth and six Paul Woodside attempted a 33-yard field goal that was blocked by Miami's Kevin Fagan
Possession went back to the Hurricanes, but they were unable to score.
With 6:35 left in the half, West Virginia had the ball again. They moved three yards in two plays On third and seven, Tony Fitzpatrick sacked West Virginia quarterback Jeff Hostetler for a loss of six yards, forcing the Mountaineers to punt.
Lecture Series
No fall talks planned
By MARY CRONIN
Hurricane Stuff Writer
Under a new organization plan, the University of Miami’s Lecture Series will be bringing in fewer lecturers, but they will be of a broader interest to students. Special emphasis will be put on attracting more South Florida-based alumni to the lectures.
"We’ve changed the format of the series,’’ said Lecture Series Committee Chairman Stave Winner. "In the past we used to give out moneys to various groups and co-sponsor the lectures, but these lectures did not appeal to the masses."
Now, Winner said, academic groups will not be receiving money for lectures. Instead, three "big name" speakers will be coming to UM during the spring semester and three more for next fall. One possible speaker the Lecture Series Committee is working on bringing to UM is Henry Kissinger.
Winner said he hopes to hold the lectures in Gusman Hall. This, coupled with a big-name speaker. Winner said, will create an event at UM which will attract area media and alumni.
"Although the money (for the Lecture Series] comes from undergraduate tuition,” he said, "most things done by the alumni aren't recognized as down-the-line costs, and we have a responsibility to the alumni (to provide campus events).
"By inviting them I'm not saying that we won’t have speakers that appeal to students, we’ll have speakers that appeal to everyone."
In order to attract as many people us possible to each lecture, Winner said the committee is in the process of drawing up a calendar of all already-scheduled spring events so that possible conflicts can be avoided. Lectures will not be scheduled during Greek Week or during international festivités, he said.
No lectures have been scheduled for this fall, and nothing is definite for spring at this time. Winner said he will have at least one speaker signed within the next two weeks.
Of the lack of lectures this fall Winner said. “Anytime you do something to change an organization you may cause a bit of a problem, but it will result in a better series — well-organized, well-run and thought out carefully."
This semester will be the only semester in which no lectures will be offered, he added. Lectures are now being planned on a “January-to-January" basis.
Another change which will help the series run more smoothly, Winner said, is the selection of a new chairperson in the early spring rather than in the summer. The new chairperson will be able to, see how the old chairperson has run the series, rather than beginning with no knowledge whatever.
Women writers topic of meeting
By MARSHA do SYLVA
Hurricane Staff Writer
Last Thursday, the University of Miami Women’s Commission met at Wesley Center for a poetry reading by Judith Ortiz Cofcr.
Cofer, an English professor at UM, started by discussing women writers.
"Writing was always for men, about men, and by men. Ladies wrote about children, religion and knitting. If we strayed [from these topics| we were considered unnatural; unfeminine.’’
Cofer talked about Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, an essay-novel in which Woolf stated women's need to have a private place (a room of one’s own) and financial independence if they are ever to be substantial and influential writers.
Cofer said she used to be intimidated by writers like Woolf, because they “rebelled against the restraints of | their] time.”
Writers like Woolf “made a silent revolution of words,” Cofer said. "They were making a statement of liberation because, for a long time,

women were not allowed to express themselves in writing."
Cofer attributed this reason to writers like Emily Dickinson, who "stuffed her poems into her desk drawer because she was afraid of inventiveness." In 1955 Dickinson was finally published, “and even then a male editor revised her poems.”
Things, fortunately, have changed since then, Cofer added. But even now there are still problems — problems of how women are treated.
“Men think a lot of progress has been made, and that now it's time to slow down," Cofer said.
"Women write differently," there is no question about that, Cofer said."But for the longest time, women were written about by men. They were very insightful, but no one can know a woman the way a woman knows a woman."
Cofer spoke of the literal difference between how men and women write. Men are usually inclined to say that they seclude themselves in a room or a cabin, while women usually do their writing in between their household chores, she said.
"If I ever write a great masterpiece, I'll say — 'This was done in between the soaking cycle and the dryer.'
"Until we have dependence, like in A Room of One’s Own. and respect for that independence, there will be no major women writers," Cofer said.
Cofer, who is married and has a young daughter, was born in Puerto Rico. She says she was strongly in-

Professor speaks on theories
By ANGELA GREGORY
Hurricane Staff Writer
The difference in two philosophies was the subject of a lecture Friday evening at the new Continuing Studies Building by University of Michigan philosophy Professor Laurence Sklar.
Reading from his paper,"Saving the Noumena," Sklar addressed the differences inherent in the approach of the positivist, as contrasted to that of the realist, in regard to determining the theoretical equivalence of theories
According to the positivist, theories are all the same despite surface incompatibilities if they have verbal similarities — same evidence and observation — and offer the same meaning and explanation of events
The realist, however, holds that a more in-depth explanation must be offered to show that two or more theories are equivalent
"From the realist point of view, common-logic form is not similar enough to establish a relationship between theories," Sklar said.
Realists feel that a prior understanding of terms used in theories, studying of consequences, and mapping aids in determining whether two or more theories are one in the same.
“For theories to be equivalent, the realist basically believes he must have the same consequences on an observational level and be
structurally similiar," said Sklar.
He added that the positivist view limits the possibility of skepticism, and realists have to learn how to tolerate more.
Therefore, it is up to the realist to reduce the skepticism he invokes toward establishing theoretical equivalence, and he must be able to explain the minute difference or subtleties between what makes theories equivalent.
"Ultimately, the realist's view is
not one of rejection of the positivist's, but holds that it is just not adequate enough," said Sklar.
Sklar received his B.A. from Ob-erlin College in 1958, a M A. from Princeton University in 1960 and a Ph D from Princeton in 1964.
He has taught at Swarthmore College. Princeton University, and. since 1974. at the University of Michigan His research specialities include physics, epistemology, and the philosophy of science.
