Hurricane Staff Writer
The second annual Circle K "Mile of Silver" will be held Wednesday from 10 a m to 5 p m. in the Student Union lower lounge.
The service organization last year raised over $1,000 to benefit the Dade County United Way through the "Mile of Silver,' which won a state award for the best single service project
“This year we expect twice as much,” said Mike Belnavis. president the UM chapter of Circle K The mile-long path of tape, on which silver coins are placed, will extend from inside the Student Union, through the breezeway to the finish at the Ashe Building The Ibis mascot, the UM Jazz Band, varsity cheerleaders. President Edward T. Foote and other officials are expected to attend.
The Miami Kiwanis Club, Air Jamaica, Wendy's. Budweiser. Gamma Sigma Sigma fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta sorority are working with Circle K on the event.
Circle K began the annual "Mile of Silver” project last year through the efforts of Suzanne Graham, then vice president ol Undergraduate Student Body Gov ernment. The goal is to cover the tape with silver coins of 25 cents or more, and fill cups placed every two feet with bills.
Prizes will be given to the club, fraternity or sorority donating the most money, and each winner will be awarded a plaque and a keg of beer donated by Budweiser
A one-year membership to Man hattan, "Hairy Cane" spirit buttons, lighters, coupons, posters gift certificates, and Marriott lunches are among the list of prizes which individuals making donations can win
The winners will be announced on Thursday Belnavis stresses that groups wishing to participate should be in the Student Union by 9 a m. to claim their stretch of the tape.
Prominent speakers to visit UM
“You are not alone, and you are not to blame." This is the message that Katherine Brady gave students at more than 50 colleges and universities in the past year.
Brady, author of Father’s Days: A True Story of Incest, will discuss child abuse at a lecture at the University of Miami tonight.
In Father’s Days, Brady describes her childhood experience of ten years of incest and rape by her father. Her lecture, on the same topic, is sponsored by the UM Lecture Series.
“Few students in college have their own children, but many college students may be victims of in-
cest or rape, and we felt that some portion of this lecture could have a good effect on them, to let them know they are not alone,” said Deborah Ramey, chair of the series.
“It could also be interesting for nursing, education, psychology and pre-med majors who will eventually go into the field to help these victims, to know first-hand what it’s really like," said Ramey. "This is a phenomenon we think everyone should know about.”
Brady will speak at UM’s Gusman Concert Hall at 8 p.m. Admission is free and the public is invited.

The UM lecture series committee has announced that Paul Schaeffer, band director for the David Letterman Show and former band leader for Saturday Night Live, will come to the University of Miami campus Oct. 25.
Schaeffer, who has an impressive background as a musician, is also in high demand on college campuses around the country as a speaker.
The committee also decided to help bring Edward Teller and Dixie Lee Ray to campus as part of
the Nuclear War/Nuclear Peace course offered during the spring semester.
Teller, a renowned physicist, is credited with the invention of the hydrogen bomb. Ray is the controversial former head of the Nuclear Regulatory Committee.

Season pass available It* graduate students
A large number of graduate students are finding they cannot enter University of Miami football games free of charge, according to Joe Pineda of the athletic department.
Graduate and law school students, unlike full-time undergraduates, do not pay a student activity fee Therefore, they are unable to enjoy benefits such as free seating in the Hurricane home games.
There is available, however, a $25 season pass. For more information, call the ticket office at 284-4207.

Laboratories UM Compute
By RICK HUDSON

This is part seven in an eight-part series describing the goals and objectives of the undergraduate schools and departments of the University of Miami as outlined in the five-year Strategic Plan.
A computer graphics laboratory and a computer-aided design laboratory were added this summer to the McArthur Engineering Building and are now in use.
The computer graphics laboratory consists of 20 IBM PC microcomputers; each computer station cost about $3.500, for a total of about $70,000. which was financed internally by the School of Engineering, according to Samuel Lee, associate dean of engineering
The School of Engineering had wanted this laboratory for some time, according to John Anderson, assistant professor of mechanical engineering However, the expense had stood in the way in the past.
The School of Engineering had to establish this laboratory to remain competitive with other engineering schools, said Anderson.
“The only way to stay ahead is to go out and spend the money," he said “You certainly don’t sit treading the same water ’’
The computer graphics lahora-
tory will be used mainly for a freshman engineering graphics course. The course will offer students a change from the traditional manual graphics course, according to Anderson, who will also serve as the course instructor.
The computer graphics course contains very little lecture and is instead a laboratory course where "students learn by doing,” said Anderson. Students will spend most of the class time running their design programs through the computer to see if they work Basic computer technique will be taught in this course. FORTRAN is taught in a corequisite programming course. Industrial Engineering 124.
The new computer course will not take the place of the traditional graphics course, but Anderson said that most students need to learn computer use in engineering "If you want to do any significant work in engineering, you have to know about computers," said Anderson.
However, Anderson cited a situation in which the traditional graphics course would actually be preferred "In some disciplines, we are educating people who are going back to traditional countries that have very few computers ' Last spring, the course was taught on an experimental basis.
but it will be offered as a regular course for the first time this fall, said Anderson. Three class sessions, consisting of about 30 students each, will be offered this fall; four sessions will be offered in the spring.
In addition to Anderson, undergraduate assistants will also be present in the classroom to help students.
Although there are no prerequisites for the course, Anderson emphasized that it will not be an easy course. "Computers aren’t as much fun and games as people think they are,” he said. “We would like to have the better students because things go smoother. It's a lot of hard work.”
But Anderson said that students who take the course should profit by it and be able to carry on what they learn to their other classes.
Also, a computer-aided design laboratory has been established for upper-level and graduate student design courses and faculty research. said Lee. This laboratory will not be used for any specific course this fall, but will instead be used on a research and experimental basis
The computer-aided design laboratory consists of the Harris 800 minicomputer system It cost
