Glenn Casteel, senior and head bouncer at the Rat, said the bouncers were unusually outnumbered by students. "The problem with a night like tonight is normally the bouncers are the biggest guys here,” Casteel said. "We didn’t have enough guys on.

Brooke / Graphics Editor UM student robbed at gunpoint ”1 never thought a carjacking would happen in an upscale neighborhood.” chute, slane freshman By KIP HAVEL Hurricane Staff Writer A 26-year-old UM student was carjacked at his temporary home by a gang of thieves from Northwest Dade around 2 a.m. on Aug. 30. Fawzi Hamadah was looking through the trunk of his rental car in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn, 1350 S. Dixie Highway, when one adult and four juveniles confronted him. Set. Mitch Fry, director of Media Relations and Crime Prevention at the Coral Gables Police Department, said the group had a weapon pointed at the victim. “The robbery was at 2 o’clock at the Holiday Inn, when the victim got out of his car, and I believe he went to the trunk of his car to get something out,” Fry said. "The subjects pulled up, got out with a shotgun, placed him on the ground, took his wallet and his wristwatch and then took his vehicle.” The carjackers fled the area with the victim’s Nissan Sentra arid a red Lincoln Town Car used by the criminals. After driving northbound on U.S. 1, the robbers then ditched the Nissan and drove to Miami Beach At this point, they were sighted by the authorities. Metro-Dade Police Department apprehended only one of the suspects from the Town Car. That person was Ivory Lee Harris, 19, the driver of the vehicle used in the robbery. “They were spotted by the Surf-side Police Department on Collins Ave. Surfside attempted to stop them (the carjackers), that’s when the chase ensued,” Fry said. "It went about 20 or 30 minutes. It ended in the area of N.W. 32nd Ave. and 161st St. and that is where they bailed out of the car.” Hamadah was unavailable for comment. Crime Prevention Officer Martin Barrows said the Saudi Arabian student was very reluctant to cooperate with the authorities. "I had problems with him,” Bar-rows said. “The people from Saudi Arabia don’t want to get involved. They don’t believe in cooperation.” Crime in the immediate area around the University of Miami can come as a shock to some. Freshman Charles Slane was appalled such an incident occurred so close to the campus. "I never thought that carjacking would happen in a upscale area like Coral Gables,” Slane said. “I would expect it to happen more in areas like Overtown and Liberty City, but not here.” According to Sgt. Fry, approximately 98 percent of aU criminals who commit crimes in Coral Gables are from outside the area. Additionally, he stated that 100 cars are stolen each day in Dade County. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION Erased E-mail not really deleted Deleted messages could be used in court By NATHANIEL 8TULL Hurricane Staff Writer Luis Glaser, executive vice president and firovost, recently advised users of the E-mail electronic mail] system that a new development has occurred. When a message or reply from an individual’s E-mail directory is deleted, it is not erased from the University of Miami’s computer’s memory. All material is subject to subpoena. "E-mail is new,” Glaser said, “If you want confidentiality, E-mail doesn't provide the proper protection.” A student can get an E-mail account request form from the computer lab at the Ungar Building. There is no mention on the form, nor in the E-mail informational packet, regarding-transactions being saved in the archive at UM. “All files created on the system are on 24 hour back-up,” said Terry Helmer, system analyst at the Ungar Building. “We can get the stuff back if it’s older than 24 hours. U the file is deleted before that, then it is lost and never put in the archive,” Helmer said. "It [E-mail] provides a convenience to me because I send all my letters to friends in one sitting and it’s free because you don't need stamps,” said Anna Sfakianaki, sophomore E-mail user. “It's an invasion of my privacy because they could read my mail.” E-mail is new. If you want confidentiality, E-mail doesn’t provide the proper protection. Luis Glaser Executive Vice President and Provost “It doesn’t bother me at all,” said sophomore Chris Goode. "If you’re going to use a private system like this, then they’re going to have access to it.” Farhan Syed, sophomore, said, "I’m able to talk to friends free instead of paying long distance." Senior April Matthews said, “It should be treated like mail.” According to Philip Elmer-Dewitt of Time magazine, the Government has a chip called the "Clipper Chip,” which codes and decodes messages. But, the government can still decode the messages, which bothers a lot of users, says Elmer-Dewitt. LABOR DAY CLOSINGS Labor Day is Sept. 5 and several UM offices and departments will be closed.

Tony Archer, Director of Security at the UM School of Medicine, received the call and reported it to the Department of Public Safety in Coral Gables. On Aug. 4. the female caller told her that mg in the V Office, had a UM employee work-Advancement Archer I in the University i stolen a check and cashed it. The liquor store was reportedly located on the comer of N.W. 36th St. and N.W. 27th Ave. While no rific liquor store was named in incident report, the only one situated on that comer is Foremost White House Liquors. When contacted, Hal Rosenberg, co-owner of Foremost White House Liquors, said the store lictures of check-cashers on :he, but without a copy of the check, he could not verify who actually cashed it. Roy Nirschel, vice president of University Advancement, said he was “not sure anything has hap-ned yet,” and that to the best of 3 knowledge, “this kind of thing has never happened before.” Donna Milton, senior staff assistant to Nirschel, said she was unaware of the incident. However, Milton promised to investigate the matter. Public Safety Dispatcher Jim Heims would not discuss the progress made in this case. Helms also would not comment if any other agency had been assigned to inves-ite the incident. John Zanyk, director of Human Resources, said he was worried The Miami Hurricane would print the name of the employee mentioned in the police report. “Public Safety, our Public Safety, does not feel that a crime has been committed. It could be a crank call, and we have no victim,” Zanyk said. The victim named in the police report is not listed as a student or an employee in either the 1992 or 1993 editions of the student telephone directory. Three people with the same name reside in Miami, however, their phone numbers are all unlisted. The employee in question is currently not considered a suspect by any law enforcement agency. { Ah Ik
