“Bringing You the World" is the theme ot this year's United Nations Day, sponsored by the Council of International Student Organizations, on Friday.
UN Day was initially formed by COISO to celebrate the formation of the United Nations and its ideals. According to UN Day Chairman Ahmad Sabri Ismail, the UN Day of the past was a small affair, but it is now one of COISO's bigger fall projects
“UM students should take the opportunity to view the world, right at their own doorstep," said Sabri. "It |UN Day| gives the native Americans an opportunity to integrate and exchange cultural ideas and customs."
The United Nations Society of Miami will participate this year, along with the Italian and Hellenic-American clubs, the Latin American Student Association and the Malaysian Student Association

Six sororities parade pledges

Hurricane Sports Edit -
It's always a good idea to have a little fun on a bright, sunny Saturday afternoon in October Wake up. have a nice breakfast, take a trip to the Orange Bowl, and then demolish the University of Pittsburgh 27-7 in front of 32,872 homecoming fans.
Really, it’s just the right way to cap off Flomecoming Week Then everyone can go about their business all over again
If all this sounds like a storybook fable, it isn't. As a matter of fact, Saturday afternoon's game was one of the biggest wins of the season for this quickly improving Miami team.
“I really think that we played our best ball game of the year today," jubilant University of Miami Head Coach Jimmy Johnson said after his seventh victory at UM. “We have steadily gotten better as the season has gone on We're playing good football right now."
Good football is exactly what the Hurricanes are playing and against Pittsburgh they played lots of it.
As has been the case for most of the season, Miami scored on its opening drive of the game Pittsburgh punted the ball away after only seven plays on its first possession, then Miami went to work
Aided by three Panther penalties, Miami coolly marched from its own 23-yard line in an 11-play drive that took only 6:35 off the clock. Kosar finally hit Stanley Shakespeare in the left corner of the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown pass.

Sorority pledges will perform skits during the 38th "Pledges on Parade” Wednesday night from 7 to 9 pm in the International Lounge.
Approximately 77 pledges from six sororities — Alpha Epsilon Phi. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Gamma. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Sigma Sigma and Sigma Delta Tau — will participate in the event, chaired by Kim Tomeo.
POP, begun in 1945 by Delta Phi Epsilon, is "a positive Greek
event,'' according to Dean Susan T Mullane The purpose of POP is to unite and recognize pledges, said Mullane
Judges chosen by the Dean of Students Personnel Office will give points for enthusiasm, costumes and props, creativity, pertinence to Greek life and overall impression Judges will include Rathskeller manager Lew Yagod-nik and University of Miami Ombudsman Jerry Askew
Winners of the skits will be announced at the POP Ball, held at the Senesta Beach Hotel, on Friday at 9 p.m.
the point after, and it was 7-0 Miami.
But Pitt took the ball right back at the Miami 20-yard line after Mark Seelig booted the kickoff into the endzone. The Panthers traveled only 26 yards before it was time for punter Chris Jelic, who was also the quarterback, to kick it away again.
Jelic was busy punting for the day, but he wasn't that busy passing — 17 of 34 for 170 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions Jelic punted eight times for a 39.3-yard average. His longest punt of the day was a 48-yarder.
With Miami driving for more points, the Hurricanes pulled off a big gainer just before the first quarter ended. Kosar hooked up with Shakespeare, who would finish the game with six receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown The 58-yard completion brought the ball from Miami's 23-yard line to the Pitt 19.
Shakespeare analyzed the play: “When Pitt's free safety side on Eddie Brown came up to play him. it left me with one-on-one coverage with their cornerback. Bernie threw a perfect pass that was right there in my hands."
A few plays later, on fourth down and one at the Pitt one-yard line. Miami decided to go for a 19-yard field goal. Cox missed the field goal to the left of the goal post, and the drive failed
“I really wanted to put the 10 points on the board." Johnson said. "I always want to put at least a seven-point-lead on the board It should've been a chip shot, but Greg just didn't hit it well."
For most of the second quarter Jelic and Rick Tuten exchanged punts^lutwithjust^oerjmo^mm^
ute left in the half. Darrell Fulling-ton, who had three interceptions entering the game, pulled in his fourth interception with a nice acrobatic catch at the Pitt 44
A few plays later Cox kicked a 44-yard field goal — the longest of his short UM career — and the half ended with Miami out in front. 10-0.
Although Miami was ahead 10-0 at the half, it didn't seem as if the potent offense was there Ihe defense was consistently holding Pittsburgh to nothing as the Panthers tried unsuccessfully to get on track offensively throughout the game. But the offense wasn't quite clicking like it can
Miami is suppossed to be a second half team, though, and the second half was a different story — much different
During the third quarter Miami scored on all of its possessions. Its first possession of the second half endedwith a two-yard touchdown jump by Alonzo Highsinith to make it 16-0 Miami. Highsinith had 102 yards rushing on 15 carries and two touchdowns
The big play on the drive lame with Highsmith's 44-yard run that brought the ball to the Pantheis' 27-yard line
"It was a 15 play " Highsinith said after the game 1 could either cut to the inside or go to the outside, and I went inside and my offensive tackle, Dave Heffernan, gave me a great block and got his man out of the way. Then I just cut to the outside
" The offense, i line did a great job." he said "You really have to give them all my yards."

University of Miami freshmen Bill Barzee and John Zelaya have a lot in common,
Both are from Miami and they've been friends since junior high. Both like jai alal, the Dolphins, dog racing and poker, not to mention barhopping. Coconut Grove and sailing And to top it off. both are 5-9 and weigh about 170 pounds.
It would seem that they could probably agree on anything Well, almost.
Barzee is a liberal Democrat, while Zelaya is a staunch Republican
"When it comes to politics, we can't agree on anything," said Bar-zee. "On every issue from the economy to Lebanon, we are total opposites."
"We get into huge fights over politics." said Zelaya. "Sometimes. Bill just doesn't listen We were at each other's throats during the debates."
This scenario is becoming quite familiar during this election year Close friends and schoolmates alike are becoming increasingly divided over political ideals. But which voice is louder, Zelaya s conservative or Barzee’s liberal? If poll and surveys are any indication. the conservative voice is more active among college-age voters
In a recent Gordon S Black poll that appeared in the Sept 2 issue of the Miami llcruld. over 62 percent of the respondents in the 18-25 age group supported President Ronald Reagan while 32 percent supported Democratic candidate Walter Mondale
Similar results appeared in a survey given last spring of stu-■. i ~t i1 ■	.1' 1 i'y,
Affairs 211 classes. In that surv ey, over 56 percent of the respondents said that Reagan was their top presidential choice
In addition, 40 percent of those, surveyed considered themselves Republicans, while only 25 percent considered themselves Democrats. Thirty-three percent responded that they were Independents or had no party affiliation
Although both polls were taken before this summer's political conventions and candidate debates, they do serve to reconfirm the widely accepted view that students are now, more than ever, turning toward conservatism and conservative candidates
At least, that is what UM Republican leaders like junior Alex Diaz would like to think Diaz is the Florida college coordinator for the Reagan-Bush Youth Campaign and vice chairman of the State College Republicans.
"Students jre definitely more conservative now. They don't want to go back to the liberalism of the '60s and '70s," Diaz said "They want a bright future and a feeling of optimism. Reagan gives them this feeling."
The Reagan-Bush Youth Campaign is a group formed exclusively for this election year, and the group's goals are specific.
"We provide the manpower for the senior campaign in finding support among young people We try to create a winning attitude and psychology," Diaz said
Diaz explains that his group will appear at different sites throughout Dade County rallying support for Re&gan
"We have signs that say things like 'Inflation is low, employment is high, now is the time to tell Fritz goodbye,' " Diaz said
Campus Democratic leaders agree that the UM student population is relatively conservative.
"Students are becoming more conservative, but it's overstated and oversimplified to say people are conservative," said Craig Bu-doff, president of the UM Young Democrats. "The relative affluent background of students here tends to make them more conservative — they only see one side of an issue. They don't see that you can be pro-business and pro-people at the same time."
The Young Democrats have activities varying from voter regisra-tion drives to wine and cheese parties.
"Some people join our group as a statement, hut most join to get something accomplished You can do as little or as much as you want." Budoff, a senior, said
The UM Young Democrats lur-rently has about 60 members The UM College Republicans has 35 members, but Diaz cites that there are over 150 supporters in the Reagan-Bush Youth Campaign who will, after the election-. become College Republican members.
This trend towards conservatism seems to continue on college campuses across the country
At the University of Pennsylvania in urban, traditionally Democratic Philadelphia, conservative students are raising money to buy a new American flag for the campus in w hat Chip Hardt, chairman of Students for Reagan, calls "an elevated spirit in the country."
Hardt believes that Penn students are definitely turning toward conservatism
"The climate is going through a change from very liberal to a trend to conservatism The Democrats are even more conservative in their views," said Hardt "Students are voting for their pocket-book: they think that Reagan will do the best job for the economy,
.1 ml t h - v like the f.iM N s '¡nigh
on the Russians and pro fre, terprise. '
At the Univer I xas .it Austin, there are about 600 mem bers in the Young Democrats or gamzation compared to the ap proximately 1.000 College Republicans.
"All colleges are somew hi more conservative — it's a lift overblown, but there is a consep alive trend." said Jim Smith, pres dent of the University of Tex; Young Democrats. Hut th: doesn't mean this is a conservativ university. It's just that studen like Reagan based on his imag alone, not the issues "
Dr. Virgil Shipley, a l M politu and public affairs professo agrees
"Young people tend to support Reagan, but they disagree with his policies," Shipley said "It's prima rily his personality that they agree with "
Shipley, who has been at l M since 1957, said that the lampus has never been very politically active
"The student body has always been more conservative than any Ivy I vague school, and it's largely due to the fact that most come from fanilies with money There was very little activism during the Vietnam War time." Shipley said
Shipley cites areas such as stu dent financial assistance as area where Reagan's policys have affected students Yet, the majority of them still support him
"They've been taken in by the same thing the American people have — the tremendous managers who give Reagan a good public image," Shipley said
According to Shipley, Budofl and Diaz, there ar* no single student issues in this campaign
