■ Some professional journalists consider laws prohibiting the printing of rape victims’ names unconstitutional.
By PAMELA WILFINGER
Staff Writer
The issue of rape and whether or not the press should release the name of a rape victim was discussed Thursday night in the University of Miami's Learning Center.
Approximately 70 students attended the rape awareness seminar to hear discussions on various cases of rape.
Dr. Dorothy Hicks, medical director of the Rape Treatment Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, conducted a question and answer forum on the necessity of revealing the name of a rape victim.
"I believe that disclosure should only be by consent of the rape victim,” Helen Ferri;, the opinion page editor of Piano Las Americas, said. "The victim is socially considered to be asked when she has been allegedly raped. If the printing of her name is going to ha.mper her from coming forward, I think it in the newspaper’s responsibility to help the victim.”
Richard Ovelman, executive editor of The Miami Herald, said he believes the press should constitutionally be allowed to print the victim's name.
‘it’s not constitutional to punish a newspaper,” Ovelman said. “It is an issue to be decided on a case by case basis. It has not been established that there is a rape victim. What you have is one person accusing another person of a heinous crime.”

Sig Ep hearing date set
A judicial hearing, in which the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity will be able to respond to hazing allegations, has been scheduled for Thursday.
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was suspended by the University of Miami and reorganized by its national office following allegations of hazing. A total of 32 brothers and pledges were expelled as part of the reorganization efforts.
"The house-cleaning will speak in their favor. It has gotten rid of a lot of their problems,” Richard Walker, associate dean of students, said.
According to the Student Rights and Responsibility section of the Student Life Handbook, hazing is prohibited. "Any words or acts, whether intentional or a product of the disregard for the safety, rights, or welfare of others, which cause or result in physical or emotional harm to others, or which intimidate, degrade, demean, threaten, haze or otherwise interfere with another person’s rightful actions or comfort are prohibited.”
Checks stolen from student
A University of Miami student was notified last Monday that 25 of her blank checks had been stolen and used by an unknown suspect or suspects, according to a report from the University of Miami Department of Public Safety.
Jennifer Twilley, 21, told the officers she did not realize her checks were missing until First Union Bank called her. The bank said two fraudulent checks had been cashed and a third was rejected because of an unmatched signature.
All of the checks were dated Oct. 10 and were signed to the order of Edward Wenger or Wanger.- Total damages were approximately $296.

TALLAHASSEE — Everywhere you went in Tallahassee Saturday you saw people taking sides. Garnet and gold dominated the landscape, while pockets of orange, white and green loudly kept the faith. Few chose to be neutral.
T-shirts, caps, flags, pennants, cars, buses and whole buildings proudly displayed their owners’ affiliations before the Big Game.
U.S. Interstate 10 into the state capitol looked like a parade hours before kickoff. People honked and shouted. Hurricane fans “whooshed” and Seminole fans chopped.
“The whole city was UM/FSU,” Tracy Krulik, junior, said. “The whole attitude before and after was centered on the football game. There was nothing else going on.”
Certainly this was Seminole country, but approximately 10,000 University of Miami fans were on hand to cheer on the Hurricanes. Five hundred UM students went to Tallahassee on a trip sponsored by Student Government.
“We were cocky," Krulik, who is SG’s Athletic Affairs chairperson and organized the trip, said. “We were in control the whole time. We’d see FSU fans and it made us even more proud to wear our colors.”
Both sides were anticipating one of the greatest college football games ever played.
And it all came down to a field goal attempt...
Florida State University’s walk-on place kicker Gerry Thomas was going to try and kick a 33-yard field goal to put his team back on top and help secure their national title. He would be kicking the ball right into the mass of green and orange at the east end of the stadium. With 29 seconds left in the game, the Hurricane fans held their collective breath and prayed.
"I thought it was good,” one Seminole fan said. “It looked like it was going through. It hung there a long time.”
The crowd — nearly all of the 63,442 in attendance at Doak Campbell Stadium — erupted. The Seminole fans thought it had gone through the uprights. They assumed they had won the game. FSU Coach Bobby Bowden started onto the field to corral his players; he didn’t want them penalized for excessive celebrating.
“I thought, I’ve got to get the kids back; if they celebrate that’s a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff and

they’d (UM) be in range,” Bowden said.
But, the Hurricane fans knew better — they were closer.
It missed. The ball sailed to the right by about 10 inches.
The referees confirmed it, and the FSU fans stood staring in disbe-

UM students celebrate the win at home
By JASON MOLINET

After Florida State University placekicker Gerry Thomas missed the last second 34-yard field goal, students on the University of Miami campus watching the game on television went wild in a tumultuous celebration of UM’s victory.
Some took to their cars and trucks in a procession along Dickinson Drive honking horns, screaming chants and throwing streamers of toilet paper. By the end of the caravan, not a window of the condemned apartments lining Dickinson was left unbroken.
Junior Shawn Wolf was by the tennis courts when Thomas missed his kick.
“You could just hear a certain profane chant coming from the (Hecht and Stanford residential college) towers — ‘F— you, Seminoles’ — rather loudly,” Wolf said. “People were throwing stuff ... paper, toilet paper — everybody dumping stuff and going totally nuts.”
Students in the towers broke glass fire-hose casings and ripped apart toilet paper dispensers, turning floors into disaster areas.
The paths leading to Hecht were littered with toilet paper and homemade confetti.
The scene at the Rathskeller, packed with over 200 UM fans watching the game on television, was equally crazed. Spilled beer, flying footballs and a burning FSU hat were central to the festivities.
“Everything was free — free food, free beer and everyone was on chairs dancing and screaming,” Grant Rollo, junior, said. "I was drenched in beer, everyone left the Rat wet and wild.”
Waiting nearly an hour, parents, fans and the media, numbering about 1,000 in all, gathered outside the Hecht Athletic Center along San Amaro Drive Saturday night at 8 p.m. to welcome home the football team.
