“Peace by Piece” is the theme of this year’s International Week, a "fun-filled intercultural exchange" which opened yesterday and continues until April 4.
Organized by the Council of International Students and Organizations. the festival includes cultural displays from 16 organizations.
“Since it is an international university, it is important for each of the cultures to present itself to the other cultures," Suhaimi Yaa-cob, president of COISO and a co-chairman of the event, said.
According to Yaacob, "each group is urged to participate fully and put forth its own best effort "
There are 20 international student organizations at the University of Miami, which cover almost every culture in the world Organizations exist for Cuban students, Lebanese students, Turkish students. and other nationalities.
Yaacob, and Keith Fishe, a member of the COISO cabinet and the other co-chairman of International Week, said that it will be held at different locations on campus, including the University Center building, patio and breezeway.
The tradition of International Week began 20 years ago at UM.
“We urge students who are not involved with international students to get involved at International Week," Fishe said. "We also want faculty and administration "
She said graduating seniors receiving awards are carefully chosen by the Honors Department, and are representative of each department at UM.
The Honors Day Convocation began with The Academic Procession from the Cox Science Building to Gusman Concert Hall. The procession was led by Grand Marshall Professor Francis Skinn For the Presentation of depart-
mental, college, and school awards, President Edward T. Foote was assisted by the respective deans.
F'oote was later assisted by Provost William F. Lee for the Presentation of Honor Society awards.
Dr. Karl Turekian, a visiting professor of Geology and Geophysics from Yale, gave the convocation address, titled "The
Quest for and the Consequences of Finding Unifying Principles in Science."
Also, on behalf of the Honors Department, Dr.Turekian gave a lecture at the Lowe Art Museum on Wednesday night.
Turekian’s lecture about the nature of the earth's surface due to meteorite impacts was titled “Collisions, Explosions, and Extinctions."
These two hotspots of the world have created more than turmoil. After America’s defensive attack on Libya and the Sandanistas’ invasion of Honduras, these two countries have created a myriad of opinions.

One group of unidentified students felt strongly enough to paint the words "Libya. Eat s— and die" on a huge sheet draping it off the side of a staircase at Mahonev Hall.
Meanwhile, the four Libyan students enrolled at UM remain silent unwilling to talk to the press.
“They’re only interested in pursuing their studies,” Laura Morgan, director and International Student and Scholar advisor, said. "They're very concerned. They're caught in the middle."

costs. July 7 is the deadline for payments if seats are to be reserved in classes for the fall.
According to Weisburd. the $125 deposit is "just to get a commitment out of the students. It's just to tell the University. 'Hey, I'm coming back,' " he said.
Students on full scholarships — such as athletes and some honor students — are not required to pay the $125 deposit.
A copy of the trial schedule and a fee assessment document will be given to students.
The fee document "will have the bottom line as to what you owe," Weisburd said.
In the fall, students who made tuition deposits must return on special payment days to pay the
balance of their tuition and fee» "You're not doing the wh.-i picture, you're doing |u»i academic portion."

International Week has three main purposes: entertainment, education and peace. This is the “year of peace," said Yaacob, and the theme is therefore very appropriate.
"We respect every country in the world. It makes no difference
vhat the cultures are about. We don't prejudice our opinions by the way the real world is acting towards each other," Yaacob said.
"If we put in our part, the others will follow,” he said.
Fishe said, "We hope everyone will enjoy at least one activity during International Week "
