              Miami News Cartoonist Wright

Don Wright, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist of the Miami News, will present a slide and lecture program Thursday at 8 p.m. at the UM Lowe Art Museum.
Wright, whose work appears every day in the Miami News, is known
for his wit, satire and caricatures. He is enjoyed by many and hated by some - in particular, those objects of his political comment
“The Reader Reacts to Don Wright” is the topic of the talk. Wright will display and discuss the cartoons that readers have sent to him in response to some of his work.
Wright's cartoons have appeared in newspapers throughout the country. His work is syndicated by the New York Times Syndicate and distributed by Newsweek Broadcasting Service which produces animated cartoons for television.
Wright has been with the Miami News since 1966. In 1969, he won the Pulitzer Prize for the best foreign cartoon.
Since that time, he has won many awards including the first national award for best cartoon on foreign affairs from the Overseas Press Club, the Florida Education Association’s School Bell Award, first prize in the Population Institute Cartoon Contest, and the Grenville Clark Editorial Page Cartoon Award for the best cartoon in relation to world peace.
Wright considers hiomself primarily a journalist, not an artist. However, Loew Museum Director Ira Licht disagrees:
“Make no mistake about it. The art we find on our doorstep each day, tucked among the accident reports and international news, is of a high level indeed,” Licht said.
In 1977, Wright was given the Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award.
“Don Wright combines excellent draftsmanship with imaginative, innovative ideas and a sense of the important news of the world for graphic portrayal.
“He has become a pace setter of the modern school of editorial cartoon art, showing both flair and restraint and a finely-honed feeling for design,” said a spokesman for the journalism organization.
A collection of Wright’s work appears in Wright On!, published in 1971.
His work is also on display at the Lowe Art Museum through Nov.25. The exhibit, entitled "The Art of Opinion: Don Wright and the Polemic Tradition,” examines the role of the artist as a social critic.
Displayed are works from the last ten years of Wright’s career. The cartoons cover a broad range of topics from foreign affairs to human rights. Included in the 100 cartoons is commentary on US domestic relations; the law; US foreign policy; economy, energy, and environment, and individual and civil liberties.
Both Wright’s lecture and the cartoon exhibit are free and open to the public. Hours at the Lowe are noon to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday; and 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday evenings.
Speaks Al
Survey
Results
Tabbed

A Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) survey of 200 students held last week in the Breezeway revealed that most UM students polled are highly in favor of the UM tuition rebate, but strongly disagree with the amount of athletic spending.
Alan Rubin, USBG senator and chairman of University Affairs and Student Services, said that the survey consisted of fourteen questions dealing with USBG, Dorms, SEC, the faculty, the Hurricane, and WVIIM
Although the final results are not in yet, Rubin suid that the two questions dealing with the tuition rebate and the athletic department stand out as having the greatest response from students.
The most negative response came from the statement. “The Athletic Department is worth the money It spends."
Rubin says that 110 out of 200 students chose either "disagree," or "strongly disagree.”
“Ten people even put down the letter F.. which wasn't even on the form," Rubin said.
One student allegedly told Rubin that she chose E because “she was so mad about the whole athletic thing.”
The most positive response came from the statement, "Tuition rebate is worthwhile and should be continued by USBG."
Rubin says that the majority of the students chose either "agree" or strongly agree.”
Another question was "Is my dorm a comfortable place to live?"
Rubin said that results are about even, althoughly slightly more disagree than agree.
Rubin said that the students’ cooperation with the survey was “pretty positive."
“A good amount of people showed up for the survey, and we had a good turnout for a change, lots of cooperation. It's good to see that student apathy is changing," Rubin said.
Rubin said that because of the positive turnout, in the future, there may be a chance of having a student poll once a week featuring one or two questions.

Hundreds of students silently watched Homecoming’s annual Boatburning, held last Thursday night. The wooden boat, filled with Hurricane newspapers, was destroyed on Lake Osceola. The flames signified the Hurricanes' anticipated defeat of Boston College. So not to let students down, the Hurricanes beat Boston, 19 8. It might be a good idea to hold a boatburning every Thursday for the next few weeks, considering the ’Canes future opponents.
New Lighting Brightens UM

Over 35 inadequacies and problems in campus lighting were cited the night of Oct. 17 as UM Business Manager Oliver Bonnert
conducted a campus-wide lighting
According to Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Paul Novack, the lighting inspection is an indirect result of Dialogue ‘79, a student forum held the last week in September.
At the Dialogue meeting the Pearson auto vandalism problem was discussed, and the issue of insufficient lighting was raised.
“The end of the Pearson area was the worst area that we looked at. It could really use more light," Joseph F'rechctte, director of UM Public Safety said.
"The Pearson area is why the inspection took place," Novack said.
Serving on the inspection force were Bonnert, Frechette, Novack, Assistant Physical Plant Manager John Ingenito, Engineer James Ray, Equipment Supervisor Dick Cooper and Electrical Shop Supervisor Keith Chambers.
A list of the complaints of the committee was released last week. The list contained 38 points which the committee stresses as inadequacies in lighting and related problem situations.
Areas cited in the list of inadequacies included the Mahoney/ Pearson Complex, Eaton Hall, the Student Union, the Library, the Science Building, and the Engineering Building.
The objective as far as the Pearson area is concerned is to obtain cost estimates for the installation of lighting poles in the lot.
Additional lighting poles are under consideration for the area between apartment Buildings 41 and 42. and a flood light adjacent to Building 37.
Lighting was noticed to be Inoperative at many locations on campus. including the Ashe Building area and the 960 and 1968 dorm complexes. Light fixtures are also burned out near the Library and Science Building.
Maintenance problems unrelated to lighting were also noted during the inspection.

Homecoming ‘79 was finally brought to a close on Saturday evening, after a small crowd watched UM overcome Boston College, 19-8, in the annual Homecoming football game.
The overall winners of Homecoming, as well as the winners of the four divisions, were announced during the halftime ceremonies. ,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was the overall winner of Homecoming, and also the overall fraternity division winner.
Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) was the winner of the independent division.
The 960 complex overcame opposition from the 1968 complex and Mahoney/Pearson by winning the residence halls division of Homecoming events.
Delta Gamma sorority was the winner in the fourth of the divisions in the events.
Brian Esmay, Parade Chairman of Homecoming said, "960 did a lot better than I expected. They got more trophies than any organization on campus. In the frats the outcome was close, but SAE captured the parade, so they won. Delta Gamma did a great job.”
“USBG showed a lot of spirit by entering every event, and truly deserved to win," Esmay said.
Event Selects Squad To Travel New Jersey
The results of all of the individual events will be posted on Friday, according to John Stolfi, chairman of the Homecoming Executive Committee.

The 1979 College Bowl Homecoming Tournament was held Thursday afternoon in the lower lounge of the Student Union with radio and television personality Art Fleming serving as host.
Two teams of UM students competed for the honor of representing UM at the nationwide College Bowl Tournament to be held November 8 through November 11 at William Patterson College in Patterson, New Jersey.
Team 1. which entered the final competition with three wins and no losses, preserved its perfect record.
Doug Garney, Peter Glaskowsky. Mike Joslyn. and team captain Keith Astuto piled up 240 points to hold off a late rally by Team 2.
The members of Team 2, who scored 150 points, were Chris Ishee, Don Lawson, Matt Daniels, and captain Jeff Weiser.
Before the match, Fleming introduced the teams, explained the rules of the game, and provided a brief history of the 27 years of College Bowl.
Last year tiny Davidson College surpised Harvard University to win the American title In the finals of the international competition, however, Davidson fell to Sidney Sussex College of Cambridge University
“College Bowl is the most honored game in the history of radio and television," Fleming, who hosted
the television game show, "Jeopardy,” for many years said.
There were two types of questions covering a broad range of topics. Toss-ups. worth 10 points, could be fielded by any member of either team.
If the team answered corretly.
they were asked a bonus question worth 20-35 points.
When the player had the wrong answer to a toss-up question, the other team received an opportunity to come up with the right answer.
Team 1 grabbed an early lead before Team 2 narrowed the gap to
110-65 at the end of the first half.
Jeff Wallace, who was named outstanding player of the tournament, will travel to Patterson next month, along with the members of the winning team.
There they will face teams from William Patterson College, Michi-
gan State University, Rice University, Rutgers University. Vasser College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Colorado. University of Iowa, University of Maryland, and Villanova University.
The event, which Fleming again will host, is scheduled to be taped by CBS radio for nationwide airing.
The half-time ceremonies at the game were more involved than usual on Saturday night, as the Band of the Hour was joined by an alumni band. The Homecoming Queen. Pamela Morrow, and runners up Laura Weiss and Evelyn Torres, were escorted onto the field, by the ROTC.
