Miami Hurricane, September 26, 1967

              IAS Works To Control The Weather
Bj LEE iikslop
Hurricane  Science  Editor
UM will control the weather of the future.
Studying and controlling
the weather is the job of the
Institute of Atmospheric
Science. Studying tropical
weather, the I.A.S. research
ranges from the large scale
studies of Dr. Arthur Pike's
numerical model of tropical
atmosphere circulation to the
small scale researches of Dr.
Lathum's on the microphysies
of clouds and the shape of a
rain drop.
The most unique aspect of
the I.A.S. is the access to
empirical information which
is pertinent taa weather research. Researchers can have
facts to use to build theories.
This unparalleled plethora of
Information on hurricanes
anil tropical nieteoroloK.v
allows   c-ne   to   build   up   a
weather institution that is
invaluable in forming theories.
One example of this ca-operation can be seen in the
research of the Director of
I.A.S., Dr. Erie Kraus who
holds a joint appointment in
the I.A.S. and IMS. He is
studying the inter-cad ion of
the atmosphere and tha*
ocean. For example, wind
drives almost all ocean  cur
rents by friction across the
water surface. To understand
this it is necessary to study
the physics of waves and of
turbulance in the atmosphere.
On the other hand, water
vapor from the sea supplies
the motor power for the
driving of the atmospheric
winds. The matter is complicated because it is affected
by the earth's rotation. Ultimately these studies in air-
sea   interaction   should    im-

Parking Committee Approved
At its meeting of September 18, the Cabinet approved
the formation of a University
of Miami Parking and Traffic
Authority which is to replace
the former faculty and student committees concerned
with parking and traffic on
main campus.
The following people have
been named to serve on this
committee: Dr. Duane Koe-
nig, Chairman; Dr. Shephard
M. Faber, Mr. Robert A.
Hynes; Mr. Hart Morris;
Miss Lucy Choisser; Mr. William Moss.
The students, faculty and
Hadmiiiislretort* who make up
the Authority have been Riven broad |H>wers to recommend to the Cabinet any
change* in policies, regulations, and procedures which
are deemed necessary. This
group will he concerned with

Wilson
Fellow
Stays Here
William Charles Brooks,
winner of the coveted Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, has
chosen the University of Miami as the institution at
which he will do his graduate
studies. The 23 year old honor student will study Latin
American History and Geography at the Institute of
Inter-American Studies here.
The Woodrtaw Wilson Fellowship is a scholarship for
potential college teachers.
Winner*, receive one year's
tuition and lees at the graduate school of their choice, as
well as a living stipend.
Brooks received his bachelors degree last June from
Southern Colorado College
with over a 3.5 grade average. Majoring in Spanish and
humanities, he was on the
Deans list every quarter from
1963 to 1967.
The scholarship winner was
a finalist for the Fulbright
Scholarship. He was also a
member of Phi Theta Kappa
and Kion scholastic honorary
society.
dividual!!   who   operate   their
cars on Main Campus.
The specific charge to the
Authority is to provide recommendations for resolving
the parking and traffic problems which currently exist.
Attention will be given to the
registration of motor vehicles, the use and misuse of
decals, studies of existing
parking facilities and their
relationships to buildings and
the individuals contained
therein. The Authority will
also consider new facilities
for parking, the construction,
design, and placement of
appropriate signs and the
administration and enforcement of all parking and traffic regulations.
The University is planning,
through this committee to do
everything possible to ease
the traffic situation on campus. A survey is now being
led by Dan Barber to evaluate whether or not the present parking facilities are
being used effectively, (at the
present there are only 5200
parking spaces for 6000 registered cars) and if not, what
can be done to ease the situation.
This Authority will not
eliminate the U.S.G. Parking
Authority as an appellate
body. This committee will
still handle appeals from
students and It will also offer
suggestions to the University-
Parking Authority and the
Cabinet.
Suggestions   made   by   the
USG committee and the Au
thority will be reviewed by
the Cabinet and will be
brought to the students, faculty and student groups for
recommendations.
A sub-committee of the
University Parking Authority
will be set up to hear appeals
from the faculty, staff and
administrators.
A new parkin**; lot adjacent to the football field and
Apartments 11, 12, and 13 will hohl approximately

Yircali  Assumes  Post
International Secretary Named
Mr. A. Rona Yircali was
appointed to the USG Cabinet as Secretary of International Affairs on September
18 by the student government
President Dennis A. Richard.
The position entails the coordination of the affairs of the
various international students
on campus with the programs
of USG and the University of
Miami in general.
Mr. Yircali, who has had
extensive experience in student government and affairs
in his native Turkey and
Europe, proposes to establish
closer communications between the International students and Ihe American students in all areas of University endeavors.
To begin with, he feels that
an orientation program and
manual should be introduced
for the International students. The pui~i>ose of this
would be to introduce the
international students to the
University life and life in the
United States.
Yircali proposes to involve
the international students in
the activities of UM to a
greater extent. lie feels that
their participation In events
such as Homecoming and
Carni Gras will establish
them as a necessary part of
the University communit.v
and lessen their alienation
from the rest of the campus.
As the end result of his
various proposals, he foresees
a greater cooperation between the international students and the American students on campus. This will
encourage a better understanding between both groups
and benefit them as well as
the University as a whole.
