The man who died last Friday after VailleM r
the 12th floor of the MacDonald tower was James DeLorenzo, a white male, age 31. according to Peter Sequeira. a forensic technician for Dade County
The body is under investigation by the toxicology department of the Dade County Medical Examiner's Office
Further information concerning the details of DeLorenzo's death will be given when the Metro-Dade Police Department Homocide completes the investigation.
Although the DeLorenzo death may be suicide, no police report has been filed pending further investigation by the homicide division.
One method of dealing with suicide is to recognize and acknowledge the victim's intentions before actually trying to kill himself, according to the SWITCHBOARD hotline, a suicide prevention crisis center.
Signs might include direct statements, a depressed and removed behavior, previous unsuccessful suicide attempts and a “finalization” process.
The finalization process may include making preparations for going on a long trip or moving to a new city, like paying bills, giving gifts away (like record collections or prized possessions), etc.
The Open Door, a student peer counseling center at UM, is prepared to help students who are contemplating suicide.
The peer counselors man the hotline from 7 p.m. to 12 midnight. The SWITCHBOARD is available 24
hours a day.
Vicky Casteleiro, one of about 25 peer counselors at the Open Door, said that most people call about suicide are friends of people who have mentioned the possibility of committing suicide.
"If a person calls and says that they are about to do it (commit suicide|, psychologists are on call.” said Casteleiro
Any person who wants more information about suicide is advised to call the Open Door at 284-2300, or the SWITCHBOARD of Miami at 358-4357

Ferre defends job at debate
Congressmen speak at forum
Ferre dismissed the recent recall drive being financed by challenger Masvidal and claimed that as many as 8,000 of the 15,000 signatures collected were invalid
The mayor also defended his position on the firing of former City Manager Howard Gary and former Police Chief Kenneth Harms
Ferre answered his opponents' criticism that he is part of “dirty campaigns" by saying the negative and personal attacks did not fit the reality of life in Miami.
His opponents could not be in more vehement disagreement.
Dunn, a Florida International University professor, said "the mayor himself is the biggest problem.”
Suarez, who lost to Ferre in 1983, claimed Ferre made promises that have not been kept.
Masvidal criticized Ferre (or having poor managerial skills He compared the present administration to the Chinese army in terms of rigidity.

UM was one of 16 outreach campuses nationwide at which Democrats chose to discuss issues of concern to college students in “Forum for the Future "
Mackay, a second-term congressman from Ocala, spoke first on the budget deficit He said that by April 1986, if the United States stays on its current track, the country will be the largest debtor nation in the history of the world, resulting in the loss of 3,800 jobs a day.

The leading candidates for mayor of Miami squared off at the University of Miami's Flamingo Ballroom Wednesday during a debate sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Body Government
Incumbent mayor Maurice Ferre and three opponents, banker Raul Masvidal. lawyer Xavier Suarez and educator Marvin Dunn, spent two hours trying to capture the votes of UM students eligible to vote in the Nov. 5 election.
The candidates answered questions from representatives of the three major campus publications: Ahmed Shoreibah of The Miami Hurricane, David Serphos of The University Times and Sofia Powell of The Miami Tribune Members of the USBG Senate also asked the candidates questions.
For most of the 90-minute debate, Ferre fended off attacks on his leadership.
"The city is in a lot better shape than the detractors make it out to
he," Ferre said

As part of a nationwide effort to counter the conservative trend on college campuses and create an awareness of the Democratic Party's stand, four Democrat congressmen held an open forum Monday at the University of Miami
Co-hosted by the UM Young Democrats, the forum included short speeches by U.S. Congressmen Larry Smith (Fla.), Buddy Mackay (Fla ), Ron Coleman (Texas) and Bart Gordon (Tenn.). The speeches were followed by questions and comments from students
According to Bill Barzee. president of UM Young Democrats, the purpose of the forum was to get students involved, to make them aware of policies, and to help them understand the Democratic Party's stand on specific issues.
“|The Democrats want to| understand where college students are coming from, where they are
would be if they were elected mayor
Masvidal promised to end automatic salary increases to city employees and said he would push for more industrial parks in Miami. “Such complexes would bring more permanent jobs to the city, said Masvidal.
Reaction to the forum was generally favorable though students in the audience did not get to question the candidates Juan Diaz and Nely Fernandez, the USBG leaders responsible for the event, called it a success “I think it went excellent," said Diaz. “I was impressed by some of the questions that were asked, f think this gave students a chance to get to know the candidates '' Fernandez agreed. "I'm real excited students were able to participate in this forum We need to reach out to the public."
But at least one student felt a need for improvement "Some of the questions were disgusting." claimed one senator who requested anonymity. "They were irrelevant and certain topics of interest to the University were never brought up "
Suarez criticized the mayor for wasting money on professional consultants He also said that, like Masvidal. he would try to get UM more involved in city of Miami planning
Suarez would like to see shifts in tax codes to expand the city’s revenue, and. therefore, capitalize on Miami's economic growth.
Dunn, Ferre’s most vocal critic in the debate, said he would pay more attention to raising employment and lowering crime
