TODAY’S FORECAST SUNNY HIGH: 79 LOW: 69 Sourc«: National Weather Service FACE THE FACTS The following shows a five-year history of the University of Miami's football games against the Florida State Seminóles: HIRAM HENRIQUEZ / Graphic Artist Football players arrested, injured ■ Two UM football players were suspended from the team after an incident with the police over the weekend. By KEVIN BROCKWAY Contributing Editor One University of Miami football player was arrested and another was injured after a motorcycle accident on the intersection of U.S. Highway 1 and Red Road early Sunday morning. Because of this, both were suspended from the team and will not be able to play in Saturday’s game against Florida State. Police arrested University of Miami running back Martin Patton and charged him with resisting arrest with violence, obstruction of justice, battery on a police officer, inciting a riot and criminal mischief, according to Lee Schwartz, acting spokesman for the Coral Gables Police department. Schwartz said Patton was taken to Dade County Jail. Associated Press wire reports said Patton was released Sunday morning on $6,000 bail. Second-year freshman Jonathan Harris suffered cuts and bruises after falling from a motorcycle. He stayed at Doctor’s Hospital for overnight observation. University of Miami head football coach Dennis Erickson announced Monday afternoon that both Patton and Harris were suspended from the team for an indefinite period of time. Their status for the remainder of the season remains unclear. Patton and Harris could not be reached for comment. Officer Schwartz said Patton arrived at the scene and wanted to ride with Harris to the hospital. Paramedics refused to allow him in the ambulance. Schwartz said Patton was asked to leave numerous times before he threatened police officers and tried to throw a punch. A scuffle then occurred between police and Patton. Eyewitnesses say seven police officers restrained Patton. One witness, a UM student, said, “The police were holding him (Patton) down, kicking and punching. They (the police) were laughing about the whole thing.” "I wasn’t at the scene,” Schwartz said. “I would like to think we would be able to use force when necessary. The last thing we want to see is police officers getting hurt." South Miami police captain Greg Feldman said a police officer at a sobriety checkpoint noticed Harris speeding northbound on U.S. Highway 1 and S.W. 63rd Avenue. He also said Harris was driving recklessly and without a helmet. Feldman said police chased Harris to 62nd Avenue before turning eastward. According to Feldman, he ordered the police to stop the chase because it was too dangerous. Feldman said he identified the motorcycle after the accident. South Miami police charged Harris with a traffic misdemeanor of fleeing and eluding an officer. He was released on his own recognizance. UM football players said Harris borrowed the motorcycle from freshman cornerback Rohan Marley. Patton, a third-year sophomore from Missouri City, Texas, started the previous two football games for injured running back Stephen McGuire. Harris is a reserve wide receiver and punt/kick returner. I ^ MnA- G ^ IN 7 E ’^1 UM shows its spirit during week of events By KEITH SAVAGE Staff Writer After nine days of banners, floats, singing, volunteering, fireworks and cheering, Homecoming 1991 came to a close with a Hurricane victory in the Orange Bowl on Saturday against the West Virginia University Mountaineers, 27-3. "This was the best Homecoming in my three years on the committee,” Homecoming Executive Committee Chairperson Chris Olive said. Fraternities, sororities, residential colleges and independent organizations competed throughout the Homecoming festivities. These campus organizations collected points through participation in the blood drive, which set a new record for the number of pints collected, the organized cheer, the pep rally and the parade. At press time, the results of the Homecoming competition had not yet been announced, however. “We feel as though we did well. This year we tried to generate as much spirit as we could,” Dave Rodriguez, a Pi Kappa Alpha brother, said. “We moved towards supporting the Hurricanes and away from any negativity with other fraternities.” Members of last year’s winning team, Zeta Beta Tau, said they feit they had a good chance to repeat. Zeta Beta Tau pledge Mike Sloane said he felt as though his fraternity’s strong support of each other was the key to their success. “We feel very strongly about ourselves, and that we have a strong chance of repeating (as Homecoming champions),” Sloane said. Other fraternities also contributed to Homecoming. “It is a lot of work, but (it) is a lot of fun. When you’re done, it’s all worth it,” said Alpha Epsilon Pi brother Adam Libarkin of his fraternity’s efforts. The Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO) participated in the individual organization category. “We decided to participate instead of compete this year, since we haven’t even participated in (previous) years,” Peter Christiaans, COISO’s president, said. “We’ll compete in the future.” Following the theme “Yesterday,” many organized cheer participants played out scenes from the past while cheering and dancing to the hits of prior decades. This year’s pep rally consisted of cheering by Homecoming participants, appearances and speeches by University faculty and entertainment by the Band of the Hour, the Sunsations and the varsity cheerleaders. It was an opportunity for campus organizations to show judges their spirit, one of the categories being judged, by coming out and joining in on the festivities. The pep rally was immediately followed by the traditional boat burning ceremony, which included a fireworks display. The show lasted for 10 minutes, with many observers sitting by the lake and holding lit candles in their hands as they watched. “The fireworks were much more impressive ‘ This year we had a lot of alumni back and the student spirit was better than ever.’ Chris Olive, Homecoming Executive Committee chairman LYNNE SHAPIRO/Staff Photographer PASSING THE TORCH: Joel Cossio, junior, and friend Jeremy sing the Alma Mater during the Homecoming boat burning Friday. Below, fireworks explode over Lake Oseola during the evening's celebrations. than last year,” said sophomore Chris Balangue. The floats for the Homecoming parade, which ran along Sunset Drive from Red Road to Southwest 59th Avenue in South Miami, were created following the theme of “Utopia.” Sigma Delta Tau’s float consisted of a giant “Candyland” scene. "Every sister helped out with the float, with moral support if not physical help," Becky Dur-man, sister of Sigma Delta Tau, said. Lambda Chi Alpha’s float was a replica of the UM campus. “Most of the brothers worked on the float for two weeks. We were happy with the way it came out,” Hutch Craig, a Lambda Chi Alpha brother, said. The Band of the Hour and the varsity cheerleaders played an active role in Homecoming events this year. "There was a lot more support for cheerleaders (this year). We were more a part of Homecoming,” cheerleader Jenise Dixon said. The Band of the Hour also put “a lot of work into Homecoming. But we were glad to be as much a part of it as we were,” according to band member Josh Greene. DAVE BERGMAN /Special to The Hurricane UM coaches, By MARTIN EMENO Contributing Editor University of Miami coaches and athletes reacted with disbelief to Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s announcement on Thursday that he had tested positive for the AIDS virus. athletes react to Magic’s announcement “I was in shock. He has always been my hero,” UM head football coach Dennis Erickson said. "Of all the people that one can idolize, he was the one I probably idolized as much as anyone in athletics.” After going through about two weeks of testing for a life-insurance policy, Johnson was informed Wednesday that he tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is believed to cause AIDS. He missed the Lakers’ first four games this season reportedly because of a flu virus. “I was sad because he has been somewhat of an idol to me. He is a great player and a great person,” Lamar Thomas, UM wide receiver and former UM basketball player, said. "I think it woke up a lot of people to the fact that AIDS is a very serious thing.” Johnson has said he will travel the country to speak about the importance of safe sex. Johnson
