Convenience stole will open today
The University of Miami’s convenience store will have its grand opening today at 8 a.m, according to Charles Canfield, director of the UM Bookstore.
The store will carry the majority of the snacks the bookstore once sold, as well as some school supplies such as pencils, pens and paper.
Canfield said the convenience store will carry some of these products on the urging of Student Government. He said SG leaders told him students needed longer hours at night to purchase necessary supplies.
The store, located in the University Center space previously occupied by the Lakeside Copy Center, will be open everyday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The new manager for the facility is Julio Arellana.

Students could profit from volunteer work
The national volunteer service bill is two steps away from becoming law.
If it passes, students could earn a small weekly stipend and a voucher worth about $5,000 to help pay for college by working one to two years full time in an authorized community service program.
Students also could work part-time — nine hours a week plus two 40-hour weeks during the two years — for a 2,000 college voucher and stipend.
The measure also encourages schools to create service programs on their campuses, and authorizes funds for President George Bush's volunteer ‘‘Points of Lights Initiatives.”

UM student jumps overboard during Homecoming cruise
By CORIE BISHOP
Contributing Editor
A University of Miami student jumped from the SeaEscape Scandinavian Sun during the Homecoming Gala Cruise early Saturday morning, according to witnesses at the event.
The student is allegedly John Wolf, an engineering major and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, according to student witnesses.
Associate Dean of Students Richard Walker and Dean of Students William Sandler said this is the only student they are investigating at
this time.
The student jumped overboard from the lower end of the stern of the ship at approximately 1:35 a.m.
Lt. Wayne Ball of the U.S. Coast Guard said Wolf was lucky for two reasons. First, since the ship was in the government cut, the tide was slack, despite the 6-9 foot seas. And, because the ship was so close to the dock, the propellers were not moving quickly.
“He could have easily drowned or been sucked under. He was very lucky,” Ball said.
The ship was a few hundred

The two University of Miami students were driving home from the SportsRock Cafe in the Bakery Centre [now AllSports Cafe], when they stopped to respond to a vehicle that was flashing its headlights in their rearview mirror. Both were reportedly dragged out of their car by two white males and attacked.
Last year, Metro-Dade police knew only that the assailants were white, in their 20s and were driving a Ford Bronco or Nissan Pathfinder. No further information concerning the vehicle, tag number or assailants was available.
Following a recent Crime Stoppers phone tip, police were led to the suspects.
"We know who did it,” said Metro-Dade Homicide Detective Lou Alvarez. “Both of them confessed to the crime and passed the polygraph exam that they took, he
Nevertheless, both men, one 26 and the other 18 years old, have been released, because the case has been sent to the state attorney’s office for review.

Brogan, Christian’s father, added that the two suspects admitted some parts of the crime, but not everything.
“It is an unfortunate and unlikely Icircumstance], and it remains unseen why it happened,” he said. “We’ve been with Chris in thoughts and words, but that danger is looming out there at all times, and you have to be aware of it — it’s there.”
Brogan added that the UM administration, particularly President Edward T. Foote II and Dean of Students William Sandler, along with the faculty and students, have been supportive.
“The Brogan family thinks very highly of all the people who have been with us — we’ve seen a tremendous camaraderie among students,” he said.

Gubernatorial race to be decided by voters today

Today is Election Day.
The highly contested race for Florida governor will conclude today when voters decide between Democrat Lawton Chiles and incumbent Republican Gov. Bob Martinez.
Many other important races for national, state and local offices, in addition to several municipal and county proposals, will also be der ided upon.
The race between Martinez and Chiles began two months ago when both won their respective party primaries. They are virtually dead even in the polls entering today’s contest.
The state Cabinet, which, as opposed to the federal executive branch, is voted upon and not appointed, has five disputed seats.
Democrat George Stuart is challenging incumbent Republican Insurance Commissioner Tom Gallagher. Republican Chris Comstock is challenging incumbent Democrat Comptroller Gerald Lewis. Democrat Bob Crawford, former president of the state senate, faces off against Republican Charles Bronson in the race for agriculture commis-
sioner.
Democratic newcomer Jim Minter runs against incumbent Republican Jim Smith in a bid for secretary of state. And finally, incumbent Democrat Betty Castor will attempt to defend her seat as education commissioner against former Florida Gov. Claude Kirk.
The University of Miami is in the 19th Congressional district, where long-time Democratic Rep. Dante Fascell and Republican newcomer Bob Allen will compete.
UM is also in the middle of two hotly contested state legislative seats.
For the Florida House of Representatives, Democrat Fran Bohnsak is running for a second time against Republican incumbent Bruce Hoffman. For the Florida Senate, Democratic Congressman Tom Easterly challenges Republican incumbent Javier Sou-to.
In an important Dade County proposal, voters will be asked to either accept or deny a one penny increase in the sales tax which will fund Dade’s mass transit system. The tax would raise an estimated $160 million a ear to fund Metromover, Metrobus and ietrorail.
