UM abolishes student-athlete dormitories
Foote: 'Students, whatever their extracurricular activities, benefit from interaction'
By FRANK RECIO
Staff Writer
In a surprise decision Tuesday, University of
Miami President Edward T. Foote II announced
that athlete-exclusive dormitories will be abolished.
Beginning, possibly, next fall, freshman student-athletes will be housed in the residential
colleges.
The decision has caused mixed reactions
from student athletes and from members of the
faculty and administration.
"Although it i* true that student-athletes
shoulder the burden of special demands on their
time and energies, it is also true that all student*, whatever their extracurricular activities,
benefit enormously from interaction with each
other," Foote aaid.
Dr. Eugene Clasby, associate professor of
English, agree*.
"This very homogenous society is very narrowing in most aspects," he said. "Isolation is
very injurious to student athletes; many of them
are stereotyped improperly."
Dr. Howard Pospesel, UM philosophy professor and an associate master at Pearson Residential College, said, "Residential colleges were set
up for the benefit of student*, and athletes
should not be denied that opportunity."
Pospesel said, "Foote should be congratulated and applauded."
Clasby agrees. "Thia is a great move forward
for our school away from a practice that was
primitive," he said.
Eighteen months ago, Foote met with the five
residential college masters and, according to Dr.
Stephen Sapp, associate professor of religious
studies and the master of Eaton ResidentialCol-
lege, all of the masters were in favor of the integration of student athletes. However, at that
time, Foote did not side with them and refused
to abolish the athletic dorms.
"I think it sucks," Lamar Thomas, sophomore wide receiver, said. "After the game we
have parties and stuff, and a lot of students over
in the towers [Stanford and Hecht Residential
Colleges] and Eaton [Residential College] want
to study. They will probably be calling the desk
and telling us to cool it down."
"We must all stay out of trouble," Thomas
said. "Someone might come in a little intoxicated after a bad practice, and we are a lot bigger
than most students; hopefully we are going to
control ourselves."
Stephen McGuire, a sophomore fullback,
believes differently.
"It might work for our advantage ... it's hard
to get to know other students. However, next
year's freshmen probably won't be aa together
as my class and other classes were."

Article III of the Honor Code.
Specifically, a marine science professor filed a complaint alleging
the student resubmitted a previously graded answer sheet,
resulting in a higher score.
The Honor Council did not find

the student guilty. The case was
dismissed.

LOVE SHACK: Sophomore Sara Chi, president of Habitat for Humanity at UM, was one of several students that lived in a cardboard shack in the University Center Breezeway this week to call attention to
the world's homeless problem.
Group c*amps out in Breezeway
By NATHASHA ALVAREZ
Staff Writer
For the past three days, members of Habitat for
Humanity, a University of Miami student organization, have camped out in the University Center
Breezeway in a shack made of cardboard, newspapers and pieces of wood.
The project, "No More Shacks," which began at
7 a.m. Tuesday and concluded Thursday afternoon,
is aimed at promoting an awareness of the world's
homeless problem.
"There is a big push to save the earth, but a lot of
people forget about the people who live on the
earth," said Jason Richards, a freshman marine science and biology major, who manned the shack
Wednesday evening.
"We are trying to increase awareness around
campus — not only of the group, but of the problem, said Chris Yoo, a freshman engineering science major, who also stayed in the Habitat for
Humanity shack Wednesday evening.
"There are a lot of people who live like this,"
Richards added, pointing to the cardboard structure.
Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit Christian
organization, was officially formed in the United
States in 1976 for the purpose of building and renovating housing for the homeless. It is now an international organization, and projects are sponsored
throughout the world.
Houses are built or renovated using as much volunteer time and donated materials as possible. The
completed homes are sold at no profit and can be
repaid over a fixed period of time with no interest.
According to Sayra Chi, president of the UM
Habitat for Humanity chapter, there are about 20
active members in the campus organization.
The group began on campus last semester, and
Chi sakf she hopes the group's first project, "No
More Shacks," will attract potential members.
The next chapter meeting will be help at at S
p.m. Nov. 6 in the UC.
quest columnist This time, how-
■ ever, things are
different — our main reason for
hating Miami won't be here: Jimmy
Johnson.
Prior to the 1988 game, there
were T-shirts and signs hanging
arund campus aimed specifically at
Miami's infamous coach.
"It's just not the same now that
we have to split our hatred between
Dallas and Miami," said junior Liza
Bourdon.
This year, students are once
again showing their creativity by
marketing original T-shirts and
hanging posters out their windows.
Outside Cavanaugh Hall, a sheet
displays the wonderfully innovative
message of "Miami's breath
smells. It's great to see Notre
Dame students putting their talent
and energy toward such productive
ends.
Luckily, the campus T-shirts are
more original.
The front of a popular shirt
around campus reads, "This is your
brain," above a Notre Dame logo.
The back of the shirt is the Miami
logo with the words, "This is your
brain on drugs." Classy, huh?
There are a few other choice

Dame-Miami football game.
Students who are not among
the lucky 200 travelling to South
Bend, Ind., will be watching it on
the television screen.
The Rathskeller will be showing the game on the big screen.
"We are trying to have a lot of
specials on food and beer," Javier
Rizo, student manager of the Rat,
said. "It will be a good day for students." Exact details on the spe-Z
rials have not been decided.
Rizo said his staff is getting
ready for what he hopes will be a
large crowd.

and they said they were just staying on the floor to watch the
game," Schmid said. "We're
going to make subs, wheel a television into the lounge and watch
the game together. Last year we
painted the lounge windows with
slogans like 'beat Notre Lame.'
We might do that again this

Three academic areas at the University of Miami have experienced
significant growth in the past five
years.
According to
the latest figures released by
the Department
of Enrollment
Services, the
College of Arts
and Sciences,
the School of
Architecture
and the School
of Communication are the fast-
Perry
est growing parts of the University.
This is despite a conscious effort
on the part of the adminstration to
limit the size of the University to its
present dimensions.
The School of Architecture and
the College of Arts and Sciences
have shown increases of 8.9 percent and 10.5 percent, respectively, in the past five years. Since it
was formed in 1985, the School of
Communication has also shown a
steady increase in its number of
students. Between 1988 and 1990,
the school grew by 13 percent.
The number of students enrolled
in the School of Engineering, however, has decreasedby a third over
the past five years, and the School
of Business enrollment has fluctuated, according to Scott Ingold,
asaistiletdeanof enrollment*.
Dr. Samuel Lee, associate dean
of the School of Engineering, said
he expects an increase in the number of engineering students in the
near future partly because of plans
for a new major in biomedical engineering.
Kenneth Fedor, dean of the
School of Business, says the number of incoming freshmen in the
school is higher than last year,
while total enrollment is down.

Many student* at the University of Miami don't fit neatly into
the categories of non-user or

They don't believe the image of
