AN ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS HALL OF FAME NEWSPAPER
Clinton to continue efforts for education
By WILLIAM WACHSBERGER
Managing Editor
In his third State of the Union address. President Bill Clinton issues, old and new. including his agenda for college-bound adults, which he hopes to see put into effect within the next year.
Clinton proposed that Congress, now under the guidance of the Republican Party for the first time in over 40 years, allow families earning less than $120,000 a year to claim a tax deduction of up to $10,000 for college tuition.
The president also praised his AmeriCorps national service program, which has given CLINTON	over 20.000 young adults stipends up to
$7,500 for college tuition in exchange for two years, or 1.700 hours, of community service.
There were mixed feelings on Capitol Hill regarding both the proposal as well as AmeriCorps. which is up for funding in 1996.
Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) is in favor of discontinuing AmeriCorps.
At UM. Democrats and Republicans have their views on the issue of higher education programs.
Young Democrats Co-President Carlos Cardelle praised Clinton's address, but said "it is difficult to create national policy since education is run state to state."
Cardelle said the tax deduction proposal is a great idea.
“The revamping of the student loan program |with the AmeriCorps service program|, and the tax deduction proposal helps a lot of families send their kids to colleges, whether it's a state university or a private school like Miami." Cardelle said.
Even Young Republicans member Aureliano Sanchez-Arango feels the lax deduction proposal is a good idea since its members pay the loans off with community service.
"Those in the program realize it's not a handout." said Sanchez-Arango. "However. Gingrich is trying to cut government and the program is back up for refunding next year. Right now. the deficit and budget needs work. If it |AnteriCorps| fits into what the Republicans are trying to do. then they should cut it. |AmeriCorps| is expendable." Sanchez-Arango said.

Davis, who coached the Cowboys' defense during their two-year reign as Super Bowl champions, accepted the job at a press conference Tuesday offered him by UM Athletic Director Paul Dee.
"This is a true lifelong dream."
Davis, a 43-year old native of Tahlequah. Okla., said. "To get the opportunity to be a head football coach and. in particular, to be'one at such a prestigious institution which holds in such high regard values I hold very dear."
Dee. who had searched the country and interviewed candidates for the position the 12 days preceding the announcement, believed he found the best man for the title of Miami football coach.
“He has tremendous qualities." Dee said. "Particularly the quality of leadership. He's an educator. He's a winner - in all aspects of his life."

SLEEPOUT SEEKS TO INCREASE AWARENESS
Each year. LINK, the Volunteer Services Program Board, sponsors a "Sleepout" on the UC patio. The purpose of this event is to promote education and awareness on the issues of hunger and homelessness.
The sleepout was originally scheduled to take place during National Hunger and Homelessness Week in the fall. The weather conditions brought by Tropical Stomi Gordon and the decision to close down the university early on both days caused the Sleep Out! to be rescheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 30 and 31.
Both evenings will be filled with educational activities and will be highlighted by speakers such as Dr. Joe Greer of Camillus House and Brother Paul Johnson of Camillus House. Also, two formerly homeless gentlemen in the Camillus House CHANGE program will be present to discuss their life experiences.
"The sleepout is a great opportunity for students to leam about the day-to-day experiences of a person who is homeless." said Cristina Manaricua. chair of the Sleep Out!
“When a person sleeps out. it is not only an educational experience, but a time to reflect on our responsibility to our cominniunity and how fortunate we truly are." Manaricua added.

■ The vote keeping Michael Inniss as president of COISO may also cause the organization's Executive Board to resign.
By KEVIN D. FERNANDEZ
News Editor
With a vote of 27 to 45. the motion raised last Friday by the executive board of the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO) to Impeach their president Michael Inniss, failed.
Inniss, who refused to comment for this article, will thus remain COISO president for the remainder of this semester.
The results were announced Tuesday, after the ballots were reviewed, to insure that all votes were cast by COISO members.
"The vote was very clear." said Peter
Christiaans. COISO patliumentarian. "We checked with the administration for enrollment status and academic standing. We had to eliminate some people: apparently some people had graduated land we thus not eligible to vote|."
But Friday's vote did not settle the internal problems within the COISO hierarchy.
The executive board, composed of Vice President Anne George. Treasurer Reno Matthews and Secretary Adela Fernandez, had promised during the meeting to resign, should the motion to impeach Inniss fail.
According to Fernandez, the three board members who raised the allegations against Inniss will soon vacate their positions.
"The three of us have met, and we are going to stick with our decision [to resign]," said Fernandez. "It hurts us to leave, but unfortunately, that's the way it's going to have to be."
Their decision to leave comes on the heels of various requests for the board to
reconsider their decision and remain with COISO.
"Apparently, the International Week cochairs put in a request asking for us to stay on us officers." Matthews said.
According to Christiaans, a shakeup now could endanger further COISO efforts during this semester, including the planned International Week.
"From what I understand, they [the board) issued the ultimatum before the meeting, but I hope they reconsider," said Christiaans. "We have International Week coming up."
Regardless of the board's decision, to some who were present during the meeting last Friday, the vote itself signaled significant communication problems within the COISO infrastructure.
“In my opinion, the best thing would be to hold new elections, because it's obvious the president can’t get along with the executive board." said Cornelius Glismunn. German Club president.

Film protrays traumatic use of genital mutilation
By AHMED SYED
Hurricane Staff Writer
The film Warrior Marks: Female Genital Mutilation and the Sexual Blinding of Women by Alice Walker and Pratibha Parmar, was shown Wednesday in the UC International lounge to show students how women are treated in other countries.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which is practiced in some parts of Africa, takes a number of forms - from the removal of the hood of the clitoris or the entire clitoris to infibulation. The latter is the removal of the labia minora and much of the labia majora as well as the clitoris. The sides of the vulva are then stitched together, leaving a hole the size of a pencil point for urinaf'on and menstruation.
According to the film, there is no religious or traditional aspect to I GM. FGM is performed primarily to stifle the sexuality of women.
"The idea of showing this film came about when I went to the Yellow Rose Society to discuss with them about what
issues to portray to the UM students," saidB Jennifer Willen, director of the Women’s» Resource Center.
Many people expressed their horror at the K aspect of hygiene and torture and the trau- ■ ma faced by the victims of FGM.
After the film, many audience members * discussed how they were affected by its presentation.
Some participants said they think Alice ' Walker, who is also the author of the book The Color Purple, might have projected a one-sided point of view on this issue, since she did not interview the victims of FGM on why they let this happen.
The film portrayed the serious and traumatic physical and psychological impact FGM has on females of all ages.
The movie and discussion were sponsored by the Women's Resource Center, the Yellow Rose Society and Noelle Bowles, instructor of Women's Studies. The Cinematic Arts Commission was also a sponsor.	_
