PASADENA, Calif. — Eight months of hype, hysteria and uncertainty boiled down to three hours of disaster Saturday night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca. as the University of Miami was hammered 31-8 by UCLA.
Butch Davis' debut as Hurricane coach will not be easy to forget, despite how much he would like to wipe the memory from his mind forever.
No one could predict how the revamped Miami squad would perform for their new coach, but few could have speculated such an overwhelming embarrassment.
Last week, Miami linebacker Ray Lewis said a team needs to click on offense, defense and special teams to be successful in any contest. He failed to mention w'hat happens if all three fail to show up. The Hurricanes came into the prestigious Rose Bowl and were drubbed in every conceivable aspect of the game. Ryan Collins started at quarterback and gave a less than inspiring performance, special teams let big plays and mental errors give UCLA the crucial emotional edge in the second half and the defense finally gave in after a stellar first half.
"It’s a learning experience," Davis said. “We’ll get better from whatever happened tonight.”
It would be hard for the No. 19 Hurricanes to go much further down hill.

BACKPACK DECISION REVERSED BY DAKA DINING SERVICES
DAKA Restaurants, responsible for the Dining Services at UM. decided to reverse the new policy that prohibited students from taking books and backpacks into the Residential Colleges’ cafeterias.
The reason argued by Dining Services to pul such a policy into effect was that many students left their belongings on tables and chairs, occupying valuable space that could not be used by people that needed it for dining purposes.
The new-born policy did not survive more than one week of classes. Many students expressed their anger about the inconveniences caused by the new rule at the Dining Services’ office.
As a result of the protests, DAKA is no longer enforcing this policy.

Kim Fuller, psychologist at the UM Counseling Center, says many students “lack experience in dealing with sexual situations.”
A report published by the Counseling Center cited lack of communication as a major problem, stating, “The potential for date rape exists when two people do not have clear understanding of each other's sexual intentions and expectations."
This report also states that alcohol and societal stereotypes about gender roles contribute to the risk of “date rape.”
According to Coast Guard Petty Officer David French, the Sundown Two began experiencing problems at 9:40 a.m. on Sept. 2.
"At 9:40 a m we received a distress call from the captain of the vessel Sundown Two that the ship was taking on water in rough seas," said French. "By 9:55 a.m. the
