"The VIM l aw School looks at a student's entire portfolio." Arshram said. "The OP A is more important than the score on the l aw School Acceptance Test, because we know that not everyone does well on standardized tests. A four-year academic record is more important than a four-hour test." Arshram said, however, that students should begin studying for the I.SAT in their junior year of undergraduate work
"It is a test of skills, not just of knowledge, but a student should get used to the test format." she said

Fire/Rescur service, according to Joseph Frechette, director of Public Safety for the University of Miami.
Concern about the efficiency «»f the fire/rescue unit arose when Dr. Stanley Harrison, an associate professor in the School of Communication. reported to l hr \1ian : Hurricane that a student in one of his classes recently needed aid and that the responding fire rescue unit had difficulty reaching his classroom. 324B Merrick Building Harrison said the fire rescue unit broke down a gate that led into the faculty parking lot behind the Merrick Building and drove t«* the opposite end of the building before reaching the classroom According to Harrison, t h * fire/rescue unit was delayed hi cause it failed to use the appropriate access roads to thi* building
Frechette was unable to verify this report, but hr said. "I doubt that anything like tins would have happened

Thr Central Intelligence Agency staged the invasion of South Vietnam by the communist North Vietnamese. Nicaraguan shipments of weapons to FI Salvadorean guerrillas, and warehouses full of communist weapons in Grenada to sway public opinion and justify U S intervention, said the former director of operations for the CIA
Ralph McGehee discussed the role of the agency in worldwide operations Thursday at the University of Miami's Learning Center
McGehee, author of Deadly Deceits. Mv 25 Year-. with The Company, said he was recruited by the CIA via telegram upon graduation from Notre Dame University.
He described his job as director of ojieralions as the CIA element that conducts covert operations and gathers intelligence.
He also said that this section is involved in "those operations designed to overturn foreign governments " These overturn operations use political psychological, paramilitary, and economic warfare
McGehee described himself as a "right-wing cold-warrior" at the time he was recruited, during the McCarthy era, but later changed his mind during the Vietnam War.
"It was the refusal of the CIA to report the truth
about Vietnam that began in me a metamorphosis, he said
McGehee said he "opted out" of the CIA in 1377 "I had become a pariah because of my protests, he said
He added that after that he was given a desk job without the same responsibilities, hut he stayed with the agency for the 25-year retirement polo y because he could not get another job
He said w hen he retired, he had to -ign ,1 m i rec v agreement, which meant he had to submit everything he wrote to the CIA for approval.
He said he was not able to publish his book until he found that most of the information in it was in other hooks by former directors of the agency A Washington Post report of how the t IA was using the secrecy agreement to stop criticism also helped him get the book published, he said
McGehee spoke mainly about his role in Thailand, which hr said exemplifies the rule of the agency in foreign countries.
“There is really no change in covert information." he said "The same technique is used over and over again "
