Maryland goes first in NFL football draft
Former player, coach reunited in Dallas
By KEVIN BROCKWAY
Sports Editor
Five years ago, a young, industrious college football coach from the University of Miami named Jimmy Johnson recruited defensive lineman Russell Maryland out of an inner-city Chicago high school.
On Sunday, Johnson and Maryland were reunited when the Dallas Cowboys selected Outland Trophy winner Maryland as the first player chosen in the 1991 NFL Draft.
"I'm very excited about it,” Maryland said. “They say life goes in circles. It will be good going Back to Coach Johnson and some former ' lyers. It is a very happy day in my

With a 7.89 percent tuition hike looming over the heads of University of Miami students, questions are bound to arise concerning the precise allocation of the massive University budget.
In 1989, the higher education financial consulting firm Cambridge Associates, Inc. finished its first comprehensive study to “develop meaningful comparisons of operating costs in order to achieve greater efficiencies and thereby restrain tuition increases.”
The study included UM as well as 24 other “research” universities, such as Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Columbia, Syracuse, Vanderbilt and Cornell.
A UM analysis of the report stated: "Since this was

only the second year of the study and because of the lack of in-depth determination of possible expenditure classification differences, it could contain errors, but each school is taking the data gathering very seriously. And there appears to be no reason to expect that the overall conclusions would change.”
The analysis states that the moet important revelation of the survey is the fact that UM’s "overhead" — academic support, institutional support and operation and maintenance of plant — is the second lowest of the group as a percentage of "basic operations." Basic operations include instruction, research, student services and auxiliary enterprises.
Columbia was lowest according to the report, with a ratio of 20 percent; UM’s ratio was next lowest at 21 percent and Vanderbilt followed with 22 percent.
According to David Lieberman, vice president of business and finance, an error was discovered upon close scrutiny of the report. UM’s overhead costs are actually the lowest of the universities surveyed. He commented, “We should be very proud of that.”
In comparison, Stanford University had total educational and general expenditures and transfers 2.54 times higher than those of UM, spending much more for certain overhead activities, such as academic and institutional support, as well as plant operation and maintenance. The “plant” is the sum of buildings and grounds the campus encompasses.
But does the apparent frugality of the UM administration bode well for the students, or will students feel the crunch of the cost-cutting measures?
“It sounds a little tight,’’ Vic Atherton, assistant vice president of facilities administration, said. Looking around campus, he said, UM Physical Plant does a remarkable job. Money is always needed for anything from fixing broken windows to replacing old carpeting.
“We could use some more money to make improvements, though I wouldn’t raise tuition,” he said.
There is another telling statistic in the report. From Please see page 2/BUDGET

Students, faculty members and policy makers at the University of Miami have been urged to make demands for a broader curriculum to include more African-oriented studies.
The call was made Thursday when two African writers, Nguei Wa Thiong’o from Kenya and Molara Ogundipe-LesLe from Nigeria, addressed nearly 100 students and faculty members at the master’s residence in
Hecht Residential College.
The two writers discussed their literary works with a focus on the role of the contemporary writer in African society and the relevance of African literature in the literary world.
"The relevance of Eurocentric basis on literature is no longer there,” Wa Thiong’o said.
Detained and later exiled, award-winning Wa Thiong’o initiated a movement in pre-in-dependence Kenya calling on African writers to use their indigenous languages first before
translating their works to English or any other Western language.
He said it was unfortunate that until recently the West continued to impose European literature in African universities and completely ignored Third World literature.
Ogundipe-Leslie, a feminist, critic and professor of women’s studies at the Univeris-ty of Toronto, said the African writer today is threatened by political forces even when explaining society.
She said many post-colonial regimes in Africa feel “articulating sentiments of the

“As a spokesmouth. I interrogate race, class and gender roles,” she said.
Wa Thiong’o said it is important for Africans, especially those in the diaspora, first to know their immediate history, such as Afro-American history, and in addition their longterm history, Africa.
Dr. Marvin Dawkins, director of the UM Caribbean, African and African-American studies, said there are better opportunities now at UM for those interested in African-oriented studies.
MARCH ON
The basic identity of the feminist movement has not changed, but many women say it has taken on some new objectives and strategies.
