The University of Miami rounded out its Homecoming Week with the traditional pep rally, boat burning and fireworks. Alumni joined students at the University Center Plaza to call a close to the annual celebration of the University’s achievements.
The pep rally included appearances by some of the members of the football team. Wide receivers Pee Wee Smith and Dale Dawkins, and linebacker Bernard “Tiger” Clark came out to the Plaza to raise the spirits of the crowd and prepare them for the game against San Diego State.
In addition, f Min tut o/'f/ie Jhionr,
Sunsations, Hurricanettes and cheerleaders helped set the mood for the boat burning and fireworks show.
The boat burning, as tradition has it, is a way to foretell the fortune of the footbaU team in the Homecoming game. If the boat sinks, the team is going to win. If not, the team will, supposedly, lose.
Following the boat burning, during which the boat did sink, came the fireworks. This year’s show was moved to the area by Eaton Residential College. The new position allowed the crowd, seated on the bank of the lake, to see the display better.

Saturday night, the Integrity ticket was disqualified for the second time from the recent Student Government election as a result of a complaint presented by SG President Troy Bell at an Elections Commission hearing held Friday.
According to the commission's ruling, drafted by Commission Chairperson Mark Chiappone, Integrity was assessed five points because the ticket failed to get approval from an elections commissioner for

five flyers used during the campaign.
The ticket was also assessed 10 points for failure to follow a graphic campaigning policy included in the elections code and an established University policy included in the election rules packet.
Integrity was originally disqualified after assessment of penalty points during the Nov. 13 Elections Commission hearing, but was allowed to re-enter the election after the SG Supreme Court reduced the number of points Wednesday during an appeals session.
Chief Justice of the court Michael Tyler
said Ken DeMoor, campaign manager for Integrity, has filed an appeal to the commission's weekend decision. Tyler said the court will hear the appeal at 6 p.m. tonight.
The additional 15 points levied against Integrity brings the total for the ticket to 27. Twenty penalty points are necessary to disqualify a ticket or a candidate from an election.
The complaint revolves around five different flyers placed in residence areas. Each flyer contained a large picture of the candidate who wished to represent the area as well as smaller pictures of other In-
tegrity candidates.
According to Bell, the flyers were not approved by the residence coordinators of the areas, as the elections code stipulates.
At the hearing, DeMoor said he obtained permission to place the flyers in the areas from Dr. Robert Redick, director of residence halls.
Demoor claimed Bell had met with the commission before the Friday hearing.
"When Troy is allowed to call the Elections Commission into his office and argue the case before a hearing,” DeMoor said, "it’s the same as a judge calling the jury in-
to his chambers and then becoming the prosecuting attorney.”
Bell responded, “I didn’t argue the case," adding he spoke to the commission about general procedure questions.
“There was a lot of confusion," Bell continued. "They were concerned about making a decision based on the (election) code and (election) package.” Candidates are responsible for information included in the election package given to each during a campaign period.
Similarly, Bell assisted the SG Supreme

University of Miami students began forming a line at 6 p.m. Sunday at the University Center to purchase the 500 guest passes available for Saturday’s Notre Dame-Miami football game. The line grew until it stretched from the Ticket-Master outlet to the Richter Library.
The passes went on sale at 7 a.m. Monday, but students began forming a line two hours before the approved 8 p.m. Sunday starting time posted at the TicketMaster window. As it turned out, students on line were not required to wait at the Center all night.
Instead, those on line were given coupons beginning at 9:30 p.m.
