l Pacific At Orange Bowl

The guy who wrote the popular adage "Everybody loves a winner" must have been a Hurricane football fan His inspiration probably emanated from gazing out over the Orange Bowl and sighing at uie sparse lifeless crowd time and again over the last seven seasons.
He would then recall visions of a packed Orangy Bowl that would erupt at even a hint of Hurricane success. This was UM football in the mid to late 60's.
He'll be sitting in the stands again tomorrow night when the Hurricanes open their home football season against Pacific. Game time is 8 p.m
From 1965 to 1969 the Hurricanes suffered through only one losing season. Attendance hovered around the 45,000 mark. But since 1970 the 'Canes have been able to muster only one better than-500 season, and attendance has dipped by an average of 21,000 people per game.
First-year Hurricane Coach Lou Saban realizes this isn't one big co-
incidence. He knows winning and large crowds almost always go hand in hand, hut he doesn't necessarily accept it. “We’re going to get people interested in us by winning," said Saban. "but actually the school should support the team regardless of the circumstances. This is their football team and without our friends we're not going anywhere. We'll only be as good as our fans "I have no idea of how big the crowd will be for the Pacific game or for any game," said Saban. "After three away games 1 can’t tell.
"Even with a small crowd, though, the home field advantage is still very important. Being on the road1 is no fun
"It requires a lot of work in transportation and you're not amongst your friends "
The Hurricanes haven’t been "amongst their friends" for six straight games, dating back to last November’s 40-27 defeat at Notre Dame.
Miami lost two more road games at the tail end of last year and their
opening two away contests this season, before rebounding last week at Florida State.
"We'fe almost like strangers to the Orange Bowl,” Saban said, "since we haven't been back in seven (football) weeks."
When the Hurricanes finally do return to the Orange Bowl tomorrow night they wyi be without the services of their starting quarterback, E.J Baker, who suffered a pair of hip pointers in last week’s 23-17 victory at Florida State Replacing Baker will be Ken McMilli-

Health Care Now ( M i e red
In Busi ness

UM, recognizing the increasing need for health administrators, is offering a graduate degree program in this area. The program combines t the concepts of administration and health systems, providing a forceful | mechanism for acquiring the ad-mmistrative knowledge and prob-u lem-solving ability required of sue- , cessful health administrators.
The program enables students to apply business areas, such as Ac- t counting and Economics, to health situations. "The major advantage for people interested in health ad- ' ministration is the knowledge that it is rewarding and helpful to make the world a better place. One feels , that he is offering something worthwhile to the business world." said Dr. Thomas A. Natiello, program director.
Within the program, students are primarily trained for executive and organizational positions in clinics, hospitals and research centers. Whereas the doctor is trained to de- J liver health care, the health admin- , istrator is trained to organize and supervise that care.
“The administrative approach is j very important because of soaring prices in health care, so we are con- ! cerned with giving quality health . care at a price everyone can afford," Natiello said.
The advantages of having this program housed in the school of business rather than in the school of medicine is vast. Since health ad- ; ministrators' titles and positions range from executive director and department head to director of fi- ' nance, a solid background in busi- J ness may provide the key to success in this relatively new and diverse field
The program deals with familiar- \ Izing the students with the growing health needs of the population, * mentally, physically and spiritually. "Hospital administrators are now , called health administrators”, Na- I tiello said, "because the field has |

The lower floor of the Student Union boasted a different look as some 300 individuals gathered to watch an impressive Japanese Festival on Saturday evening.
The co-ordinator. Miguel Estevez said that the turn out was encouraging, and he was pleased with the entire evening’s activities.
The festival opened with a short welcoming remark by International Students Advisor Laura Morgan, and was followed by an Ikebana demonstration. Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
Mieko Kubota from Kyoto Bonsai In Dadeland Mall, performed the Ikebana demonstration Flowers and plants for the demonstration were mainly of local varieties.
Kubota explained the philosophy behind the arrangement, and informed the curious audience that it la a custom in Japan for all young girls to learn the art of flower arrangement.
She said that there are many schools in Japan and over 2000 chapters world-wide.
Basically, there are two styles of Ikebana, tfce traditional and thé modern, she said.

chairman Leonard Greenfield have given Lake Osceola a clean bill of health. They both said that the lake-will not cause any student harm if they were to fall into it.
• take preventive measures
• transfer the risk, i.r buy insurance, or draw up hold harmless" contracts," Bonnert said.
“As fai as the boat loan program is concerned, with the liability risk as it is in Dade County, the University would be taking a tremendous risk on not having a full time qualified life-saver manning the operation," Bonnert said.
Dean of Students Bill Sheeder is in favor of the boat loan program and has told the Management Committee such. Sheeder said that he feels many of Bonnert's fears and apprehensions can be ironed out.
“I view the program from a student affairs angle and Bonnert views it from a risk management angle so, of course, there will sometimes be a conflict,” Sheeder said “It seems to me that Bonnert's obsession with liability is being taken to a point of inhibiting student services."
'Also, a good business manager should br able to deal with liability risks, not avoid them," Lubcl said '

Holiday To Express Joy
By HELEN ALPERT
Hurricane Staff Wrifer
"The cycle of the Jewish year has several parts." said Rabbi David Eliezrie. "and many aspects of Judaism deal with having a good time."
Eliezrie. plans to make Simchat Torah, the Festival of Joy. a memorable occasion at Chabad House
Festivities begin next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m
Eliezrie explained that the Torah is divided into 52 sections, with a different portion to be read each week
"Simchat Torah is the holiday where you finish the whole Torah and start from the beginning to represent the New Year
"Most people are exposed to three-day Judaism (Rush Hashanah and Yom Kippur). and miss the holidays that express the vitality and inner life Of the religion." Eliezrie said
From the student point of view, Harley Branitz, a senior majoring in education said: "After receiving forgiveness at Yom Kippur, which is the day of atonement for sins, Jews can express their joy through this tremendous festival of song and dance "
Branitz. the first resident at Chabad and student director of programming, added that free wine will be served to add to the holiday spirit.
"The religious activities at Chabad are traditional. and look at Judaism in the framework of its his-
torical authenticity." said Eliezrie. He noted that the atmosphere is relaxed, with many programs determined by students.
Table tennis and chess are just two of the many activities that are open to students. For those who wish to study Judaism, there is a small library of books and magazines.
Chabad House, at 1540 Atbenga Avenue (just off Fraternity Row), opened at UM during the last academic year. A cros between a fraternity and a student center, it now has limited residence facilities for male students.
Next semester such facilities will be available for women
Chabad House is open 24 hours a day and has a hotline (6617642) that is always open Services are held Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m.
Eliezrie. who is the director of the house, has been on campus four years, working most of that time without a building. The assistant director is Rabbi Chaim Kovacs.
Students can rap with a rabbi on any Judaic-re-lated subject under the new program, “Wednesday The Rabbi Is In."
The Kosher Supper Club offers a tasty, home-cooked alternative to dorm food Sunday through Thursday at 6 p.m. After Friday services, a free dinner is served.

The boat loan program proposed by Undergraduate Student Body
Government (USBG) will go to the University Management Committe on Tuesday because of its denial by Business Manager Oliver Bonnert.
According to Bonnert, the boat loan program, which is a canoe service. would allow students to go canoeing across the lake, has eminent excessive liability exposure in it, as well as a lack of proper monitering full time by a competent employee.
USBG Secretary for Student Services Sandy Cohen has been working with Student Activities Director Tom Rebel and USBG President Allan Lubel in attempting to iron out some of the flaws in the program before it goes to the Management Committee.
The University’s Insurance Manager William Coombs suggested that each student sign a “hold harmless" card that would exonerate the University from any responsibility for injuries incurred while canoeing.
According to I.ubel the USBG Senate has already allocated funds for three canoes.
"I think • the program should pass, Lubel said. “Many things at the University are liabilous such as the swimming pool, yet we deal with the risks."
"We are lucky enough to have a lake on our campus and we should be able to utilize it as a recreation area if the students wish to do so," Lubel said.
Health Center Director Dr. F^u-gene Flipse and former Biology
After the demonstration, many of !he interested folks from the audience spoke privately with Kubota about their interest in (he art. She said she is interested in leaching Ikebana at UM next semester if it can be arranged.
