Kingdon, an anthropology major, was struck and killed by a fire truck last week in Melbourne, Australia. She was studying abroad at the University of Melbourne this semester. The hour-long ceremony began with an introduction from John Scarano, director of the St. Augustine Catholic Church and Student Center. “In our time of loss and hope, we must take time to remember Alicia,” Scarano said. “Alicia clearly was a student leader with promise and potential,” ‘ We've lost three students this year and have been forced to think deeply as members of a broader family.' Edward T. Foote, UM president Marvin Sweeney, a professor in the department of religion, said. "She will represent an inspiration to all of us.” UM President Edward T. Foote II, who was also in attendance, met with the Kingdon family shortly before the ceremony and spoke during the service. “We've lost three students this year and have been forced to think deeply as members of a broader family,” Foote said. “This year has brought our University family together.” j Dionne Skeete, Kingdon's former RA, said that Kingdon was an active member of organizations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International. “She was a staunch human and animal rights activist,” she said. Kingdon was a vegetarian and she opposed any form of animal abuse, Skeete said. Wendi Rickman, a friend who lived on the same floor last year, said she will always remember how helpful and friendly Kingdon was. “1 was really upset one time and she offered to make me tea,” Rickman said. "She told me if I ever needed anyone to talk to I could go | to her.” "She was an extremely happy person. All of her friends loved her.” Mike Weizman, a close friend, said. UM student George Bechera sang In My Life before Alicia’s mother, Lee Kingdon, spoke. "Alicia had a love for people and was always trying to find positive things about people,” Kingdon said. Steven Stein, director of International Studies, presented several of the 52 letters he has received from friends and faculty Kingdon met in Melbourne before she died. “It was a beautiful ceremony. Alicia obviously was an exceptionally talented student,” Foote said. TO AN AFRICAN BEAT JAMES W.

The dancers pulled members of the audience into the performance that was part of the International Week celebration. Diamond sworn in as SG president By DEBORAH L. MOSKOWITZ Assistant News Editor David Diamond was sworn in as Student Government president for the 1992-1993 school year at Wednesday’s SG senate meeting. Tracy Krulik, vice president; Roger Kline, treasurer and Steve Cohen, speaker of the senate were also sworn in at the inauguration ceremony in front of approximately 100 people in the Flamingo Ballroom of the University Center. Before the ceremony, Irwin Raij, outgoing SG president, reminisced about his past two years in office. Raij stressed he wanted the new administration to continue the ideals set by his administration and that they should “keep it clean." Edward T. Foote II, University of Miami president, said he had been in Student Government during his days as an undergraduate at Yale University. Foote, when talking about the work of Raij and the other outgoing officers, said in his 25 years experience as a college administrator, he had worked with few SG administrations that had been as effective. “I can’t think of a more productive group that’s done so much in such a short period of time,” William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, said. “I don’t think anybody ever expected this from me,” Raij said after the meeting. "I don’t think anyone knows exactly what we did.” According to Raij, some of the accomplishments of his administration include: ■ Lobbying for the Force Five Convenience Store to be opened. ■ Installing additional phones in the Learning Center and the Otto G. Richter Library. ■ Placing vending machines across from the Panhellenic Building. ■ And forming a state-wide lobbying group, called the Florida Independent See page 2/PRESIDENT Student allegedly punched by football player By JOECALAPAi Slatt Writer A University of Miami football player is accused by another UM student of committing simple battery during a basketball game at the Lane Recreation Center on Monday, according to Department of Public Safety reports. Freshman tight end Warren Sapp allegedly punched freshman Charles Judkins during the game. According to Public Safety, both Sapp and Judkins tried to grab a rebound, body contact was made between them and Sapp became agitated and started screaming at Judkins. As Judkins tried to back away, Sapp punched Judkins in the right eye with a closed fist, the report said. Judkins had a small cut under his right eye and substantial swelling. Judkins said he was taken to Doctor’s Hospital and tests showed no internal bleeding. Judkins returned to the hospital when he felt dizzy returning from dinner. The tests came back negative again, but he will be returning to the hospital next week for further tests. ‘‘[Associate] Dean Jerry Houston said this case was his number one priority; then he told me he was going on vacation," Judkins said. Houston could not be contacted because he will be out of town until Monday, a representative of the Dean of Students Office said. “If the school doesn’t ao anything, then 1 will sue the school," Judkins said. Judkins said he talked to the state attorney. “I think we’re going to get him on battery." Judkins said he will get his own lawyer to file a civil suit against Sapp. Sapp was contacted by telephone, but he refused to comment. Witness Kevin Elion compared the incident to a street mugging, calling it “totally unwarranted.” Elion said there was a considerable size difference between Sapp and Judkins. Essay program gets $4,500 in donations By STEVE SABO Staff Writer Nearly $4,500 has recently been donated to enhance the “Meet the Author” project, which sends University of Miami freshmen into the community to read essays to various groups. According to Joyce Speiller-Morris, who created the program, several groups have donated money to the program. The Florida Office for Campus Volunteers donated just under $1,000. The Dade County Community Foundation donated $1,000 and an anonymous private donor gave the program $2,500. “This program is a way to give people a wonderful feeling inside. It’s very fulfilling,” Speiller-Mor-ris said. "Meet the Author” began when Speiller-Morris had some students from her freshman English class read essays they had written in class to community groups. The program became so successful, they expanded it by visiting groups two to three times a month. Jessie Armstead, a junior linebacker on UM's football team, was one of the first student-athletes who participated in “Meet the Author”. Armstead read his works to inmates of the Dade County Juvenile Detention Center and Dade Intensive Control. “It showed [the inmates] that people care and that some people come from the places they come from and can make it,” Armstead said. “There should be more people involved to give back to the community,” Armstead said. Alvarez Graham Schmid Three win GM awards By JOECALAPAI Statt Writer Three University of Miami seniors received a plaque, five shares of General Motors common stock and a card from President George Bush during a ceremony naming them the winners of the GM Volunteer Spirit Award at the University of Miami Tuesday night at the Lowe Art Museum. Steven Alvarez, Lisa Graham and Sheri Schmid were presented their awards by UM President Edward T. Foote II and J.R. Bob Hardesty, GMAC control branch manager of Miami Lakes. All three are seniors. I Alvarez has been involved with Isuch organizations as Big Broth-ers/Big Sisters of Greater Miami and the Miami Police Department. Last year, Alvarez delivered 25 bicycles donated by the Police Department to needy children. “It is a great honor to give something back to the community,” Alvarez said. He said he hopes the award will bring some attention to the Big Brother Association. Alvarez described being a Big Brother as “so easy, especially with a little brother like mine.” Graham is involved in organizations such as the After School House, the AIDS Awareness Task Force and the Bill Clinton for President Campaign. “I didn’t expect it to be this nice,” Graham said of the ceremony. “It was really nice to have Sheri get it at the same time." Schmid has been involved with Fun Day, the AIDS Awareness Task Force and was a volunteer at the Immunology Lab at the All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg. Graham and Schmid are both residents of Hecht Residential College. i "We're pleased to have people like that in Hecht,” Frederick Tims, HRC master, said. “I hope we’ve fostered things like that.” “GM is investing something for the future,” Foote said.
