The drive, held Monday and Tuesday in the Student Union Breezeway, registered 326 students, more than 100 over last year's total.
Students, deputized by Metro-Dade Elections bepartment, attribute the increase to interest in the upcoming presidential election
"The election year is the motivating factor," said student deputy Frank Jimenez. "They all want to vote in the presidential election.” One hundred and sixty-three students registered as Republicans, 90 as Democrats, 20 as Independents and 53 with no party affiliation.

Deputies were not particularly surprised at the large Republican turnout. “It was expected," said Liz Rodriguez, organizer of the campaign. "This campus is very Republican.”
"There's usually more Democrats,” said student deputy Eneldo Hernandez. "They can vote in pri-

UM creates North/South Center
By CHIQl'I CARTAGENA
Hurricane Staff Writer
Along with the establishment of the Graduate School of International Studies last spring, UM has officially created the North/South Center.
The new Center sponsors research, publications and conferences on the problems and issues that arise between developed and underdeveloped nations of the world. It's funtion is similar to the famous East/ West Center at the University of Hawaii, established during the Johnson administration.
The Center serves as the research complement to the Graduate School of International Studies, which offers graduate degree programs in international relations. It will provide the necessary administrative base for scholars at UM and other institutions working in this field
"The role of the Center will be to coordinate and help bring together, here in Miami, distinguished academicians from all over the world to deal with the problems and issues of North/South significance.” said Dr Julian Weinkle, deputy director of the Center
Although it will have a strong academic basis, the North/South Center also hopes to attract prominent professionals in all the fields of international interest.
"I would like to make Miami the center of international debate and dialogue," said Ambassador Ambler Moss Jr., dean of the newly created GSIS and director of the North/South Center. "I’m quite sure that the Center will be the means of attaining this international dimension."
One of the main components of the new center is the North/South Academic Exchunge program, established with various higher education institutions of Latin America.
Dr. Steve Stein, director of the Academic Exchange program, said the program's structure is inspired by the highly successful model of inter-university exchanges developed at the State University of New York in Stony Brook..
The program will interchange students and professors from a wide variety of disciplines to enhance the necessary dialogue regarding international problems and issues.
According to Stein, the program will allow UM to establish closer relations with Latin America and expand its international dimension and outreach.
"Through this program the University of Miami will be able to establish a significant presence in Latin America by playing a major role in the training of key people," said Weinkle. "In doing so, we will be able to fulfill an important mission in our relations with the area "
Potential areas of study for UM participants include management sciences, international business, economic development, public administration, urban planning and regional development, communications, history, anthropology, archeology, public health, nursing, and development education
On the other hand, the programs and departments which will most likely benefit from the exchange of Latin American students and professors include: history, international studies, psychology, economics, engineering, nursing, communications, and business administration.
The academic exchange program Is designed to provide its participants with a multidimensional learning experience This approach was adopted in order to respond more effectively to the educational goals of participants and to integrate them rapidly Into Latin American culture.
In addition, participants are expected to carry a full load of university courses, .which may also be complemented by intensive language instruction, academic internships or independent study projects.
"The academic program will be made up of a series of 'subject area clusters,' which will allow the participants to target their studies toward specific academic needs or interests," said Stein.
UM has initially established working relationships for this academic exchange program with universities in Peru and Columbia These two countries were chosen not only because of the richness of the academic programs and activities, but also because of their convenient geographic location, their democratic governments and their relatively low costs of living.
Iron Arrow grows,
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ
Hurricane Editor in Chief
This is the third in a series on the history of Iron Arrow.
In the 1950s, Iron Arrow went national — the organization had a full-color photograph of its members in National Geographic that November The story that went with the photograpti was a feature on the University of Miami.
The national coverage was appropriate — the organization had just rebounded from the lean World War II years and a new era was approaching
Clive Shrader, Iron Arrow chief in 1949, remembers that when he was tapped, there was no initiation. The new members were told to show up at a restaurant. "It was quite a disappointment." he says.
"We had heard quite a bit about Iron Arrow since we began school.”
As son of chief in 1948, he and the officers called the alumni and got them involved. They also began keeping precise records and designed a parchment and ritual of initiation
He credits the close relationship between alumni and students now as being a result of these years. "We are a unique organization in that 50 to 60 percent of our people come out to the meetings The alums don't feel as if they are a different group,” he adds.
Shrader also says that only eight or nine people were tapped prior to the 1950s; hut the organization soon began tapping more mepihers
"In those years. Iron Arrow had
great prestige on campus," says Lory Snipes, 1950 Iron Arrow chief. “It was the ultimate organization."
According to Snipes, the organization then consisted of exclusively undergraduate students; it wasn’t until later that the tribe decided to admit alumni members. Faculty and staff tappings were also rare prior to the 1950s.
In 1950, Iron Arrow members decided they needed a formal charter to state that it was the "highest honor attained by men." According to Iron Arrow, a history, Iron Arrow saw Omicron Delta Kappa (which had just been established) as a potential challenger to the title. So a charter was drawn up and signed by Bowman F. Ashe, first president of the University.
Ashe died two years later and Dr Jay F W. Pearson became the second president. Already a member of Iron Arrow, ho was made the organization's second sponsor in 1953
Also that year, iron Arrow took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ashe Administration Building Two years later. Iron Arrow was to decide that a statue and bronze plaque of Ashe should be erected in the Ashe Building
The statue was sculpted by Upton C. Ewing, a friend of Ashe’s, from sketches which Ashe had posed for before his death. He donated his talents and Burdine's gave $3,000 so the statue could be cast in bronze In 1957, the statue was unveiled
In 1958, Iron Arrow entered yet
another decade — the "law school domina,ion era.' where most of the officers were law students.
maries. Between 9 |a.m and 1 |p.m.| I registered no Democrats "
Some were surprised over the independent turnout. "There's a sense of confusion over the difference between n.p.a. (no party affiliation! and independent," said Rodriguez
Deputies were careful to explain

to students that “Independent" is a party and does not designate a voter's lack of party affiliation
"They (students) don't know the difference between one party or another," said Hernandez. “Especially Cubans who registered Republican because of their parents."

There are over 30 Nigerians on campus, all of whom are NS A members. They are primarily majoring in the engineering disciplines and architecture.
"Nigeria leads many other African states, and these celebrations help to better inform Americans,” said Julius Adegunloye, member and advisor to the president of NSA That, in turn, fosters better relations between the U.S. and Nigeria, said Adegunloye.
