UM abolishes student - athlete dormitories
Foote: ‘Students, whatever their extracurricular activities, benefit from interaction'
By FRANK RECIO
StaH 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.
Tne decision has caused mixed reactions from student athletes and from members of the faculty and administration.
"Although it it true that student-athletes shoulder the burden of special demands on their time and energies, it is alto true that all students, whatever their extracurricular activities, benefit enormously from interaction with each other." Foote said.
Dr. Eugene Clasby, associate professor of English, agrees.
"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 students, and athletes should not be denied that opportunity."
Pospesel said, “Foote should be congratulated and applauded."
Clasby agrees. “This 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 Residential College, all of the masters were in favor of the integration of student athletes. However, at that time, Foote did not side with them and refuted
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 as together as my class and other classes were.”

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 camps out in Breezeway
By NATHASHA ALVAREZ
Stall 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 tnsjor, 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 Jive 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 said 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.

■ *--------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 it the Miami logo with the words, “This is your brain on drugs.” Classy, huh?
There are a few other choice
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 speC rials have not been derided. -;
Rizo said his staff is getting ready for what he hopes will be a large crowd.
Junior Sherri Schmid, an RA op the 10th floor of Pentland Tower in Hecht Residential College, is planning a party for her residents to go to during the game.
‘I talked to some of the girls, 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 year.”

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 Communica- perry tion are the fast-

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.

Users claim they can control their drug use

'. Many student! at the University of Miami don’t fit neatly into the categories of non-user or abuser of drugs. The attitude of the casual user is just that; casual. They don’t believe the image of drugs portrayed by the media, and due to a sense of curiosity, want to find out the real story for themselves.
Ten UM students, ranging from infrequent marijuana users to daily marijuana users and occasional cocaine and acid users, agreed to talk about their atti-
