To Control The Weather
By LEE HESLOP
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 microphysics of clouds and the shape of a rain drop.
The most unique aspect of the |.A.S. is the access to empirical information which is pertinent to weather research. Researchers can have facts to use to build theories. This unparalleled plethora of information on hurricanes and tropical meteorology allows cue to build up a
weather Institution that Is invaluable in forming theories.
One example of this cooperation can be seen in the Research of the Director of I.A.S., Dr. Eric Kraus who holds a joint appointment in the I.A.S. and l.M.S. He is studying the interaction of the atmosphere and the 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-

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 Koenig, Chairman: Dr. Shephard M. Faber, Mr. Robert A. Hynes; Mr. Hart Morris; Miss Lucy Choisser; Mr. William Moss.
The students, faculty and ndminisirators who make up the Authority have been given broad (towers to recommend to the Cabinet any changes in policies, regulations, and procedures which are deemed necessary. This group will be concerned with problems of traffic and parking as they relate to all ln-
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 Woodrow Wilson Fellowship is a scholarship for potential college teachers. Winners 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 wras a finalist for the Fulbright Scholarship. He was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa and Kion scholastic honorary society.
dividuals 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
Yircali Assumes
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 the American students in all arras of University endeavors.

Post
To begin with, he feels that an orientation program and manual should be introduced for the international students. The purpose 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. He feels that their participation in events such as Homecoming and Carol Gras will establish them as a necessary part of the University community and lessen their alienation from the rest of the campus.
As the end result of his
various proposals, he foresees

A sub-committee of the University Parking Authority will be set up to hear appeals from the faculty, staff and administrators.
