DUIs will result In license suspension
As of yesterday, people who drink and drive in Florida risk losing their licenses right on the side of the road. The new program, called DUI-Roadside Suspension, will eliminate the sue to 12 month period before a case comes to trial in which drunk drivers retain their licenses.
Under this suspension program, if a DUI suspect registers a blood-alcohol level of at least 10 percent, he earns a six-month suspension for the first offense.

Yesterday morning, a computer picked 150 University of Miami student names at random to receive tickets for the Notre Dame football game in South Bend. Last night, 50 extra names were picked due to an increase in the total number of tickets available to students.
Student Government President Irwin Raij worked with the Athletic Department to get the allocation increased.
“I must have spent hours in the Athletic Department talking about getting more tickets for the game,”

Raij said. "The fact that we were able to get 50 extra tickets is wonderful, but there are still a lot of students who will not be able to go,” he added.
Raij said he hopes to pass a proposal now in the hands of the SG Senate that would insure at least 10 percent of the total amount of tickets given to the school for away games would be available for students. If this bill had been passed already, students would have received 500 tickets for this year’s Notre Dame game.
Students who won tickets in the lottery must claim them soon or risk losing them. Unclaimed tickets will be raffled off again in much the
same way as they were the first time.
Raij said tickets were distributed by the lottery system rather than the traditional first come, first served basis so that students would not miss any classes because they were standing in line all night. In addition. Raij said members of the Athletic Department felt that the lottery would yield a broader spectrum of students.
Raij said, "Many students were upset about the fact that there were not enough tickets and the fact that there was going to be a lottery."
’Tt’s really tough,” said Barry ‘Chef Bezzie’ Benezra from Lamb-

Sophomore Jeremy Deane, agrees.
“I had planned to go to Notre Dame, but when my roommate and I found out it was a lottery, we cancelled the whole trip,” Deane said. “What if he wins and I don’t? Who wants to go by themselves? It’s ridiculous.,T

reported to be Pi Kappa Alpha and Lambda Chi Alpha.
No one was seriously hurt in the shoving match, but several brothers from both fraternities were escorted by police from the student section of the Orange Bowl. Most of them returned soon after everything had calmed down, to watch the rest of the game.
Most students at the game became aware of the fight after it was all over, when the security officers at the Orange Bowl told the entire student section to sit down. Witnesses said the officers were attempting to calm things down.
No arrests were made.
The matter is to be turned over to the University and the Dean of Students Office who will decide if any punishment is necessary.

Environmental activism continues past Earth Day
By JOANNA N. STRAVRO-POULOS

Today’s youth appears to be leaving be told the "someone else will take care of it” attitude of the ’80s and moving into the “let’s save this world, now!” mindset of the ’90s.
With the celebration of Earth Day last April, environmental movements on campuses across the nation have grown in momentum, with the University of Miami campus being no exception.
Two environmental groups currently exist at UM: EarthAlert and Project Noah, a Jewish-affiliated
club that welcomes non-Jewish members.
Charles Cabell, EarthAlert president, has seen the club grow to a membership of between 70 and 100 students since its foundation in February of 1989.
Cabell has also seen many of the club’s goals, like the aluminum can and paper recycling program in the residential colleges, accomplished. Cabell says the program is "still at the pilot stage, but it’s going off like crazy. There are just enough bins.” He says he hopes to expand the program in the future to include the

Volunteers paint woman’s home
By LYNETTE MALINGER

The University of Miami Outreach Program sponsors many volunteer programs around the Miami community. One program involved painting a house for an elderly Miami widow.
Helen, who prefers not to have her last name known, was cheated out of $11,000. Her house was in need of repairs, and the city code inspector was pushing her to get them completed. She paid a contractor $11,000 to do the repairs, and the man hung one ceiling fan and left without finishing the repairs.
“There was no way I could get the repairs done, with all my money gone, and they [the city] were still bothering me,” Helen said.
Helen was later mugged, and the police officer who helped her put ner in contact with the Miami Foundation. A foundation representative contacted UM Volunteer Services, who sent the Outreach group to paint her house.
Many groups contributed to the effort, with Tower Paint donating the paint and the Outreach group spending two Saturdays doing the painting.
Channel 7 News, WSVN, covered Helen's story, along with the stories of other people from
whom the contractor took money without finishing the contracted jobs. Due to the efforts of Channel 7, charges are expected to be brought against the contractor.
"I am so proud of the kids and the work," Helen said. "They are the greatest.”
Tara Thompson, chairperson of the Student Government Committee for Community Services and Volunteerism, said, “We were a good team, we worked well together. I am glad we got it done."
Helen said she is happy now that her houae is painted, and the city is not a problem anymore.
“You would not think it was the same house,” Helen said.
Stanford: Activism reflects times
Former UM president remembers students of the past

"At times, I prayed for a little apathy," Dr. Henry King Stanford, former University of Miami president, told the group of 100 students, faculty and administrators that came to have brunch and hear him speak Friday.
Stanford, who was president of the University during the turbulent 1960s and '70s, came back to campus as part of Political Awareness Week. His speech centered on five decades of student political activism.
"The '60s was the time when my students were so ‘revolting’/’ Stanford joked. “At one time, the
Board of Trustees asked me, ’Dr. Stanford, can’t you do something about these students’ hair?' I told them the [students’] hair was the least of my worries.”
Stanford, 75, remembered when the Ashe Administration Building was surrounded by angry students after the deaths at Kent State University. .He told about the constant sit-ins and protests that occurred on campus during that time.
"One morning, my wife Ruth asked me what kind of day I thought I was going to have," Stanford said, "and I told her there would probably be a protest and a couple of sit-ins and maybe a march on the Ashe Building. She said, ‘Oh, well you are going to have a good day then.”
He spoke of the time he was confronted on the University Center Rock during one of his weekly question and answer sessions with students by political activist Abbie Hoffman.
“What’s going on on campus these days?” Stanford asked the students present. Stanford said he was stimulated by the "intellectual conflicts” he had with the students during the '60s. "I am not encouraging you to go and sit in Dr. [Edward T.) Foote’a office," he said, however. According to him, ’the aching ’80s are responsible for students’ present behavior.
"Students today are just reflecting the society around them,” Stanford said. "But, Political Awareness Week is a good sign."
