Eaton RC fired after three weeks
Nevil wears wrong shirt in bar
By KELLY RUANE and LYNN CARRILLO
Of the Staff
After less than a month as the Residence Coordinator at Eaton Residential College, Andrew Nevil was fired on Thursday. The result of a “mismatch," say administrators.
Nevil could not be reached for comment, but his mother, Barbara Nevil, said he was fired for for wearing his Eaton staff shirt to a baron Jan. 19.
"Someone from high up thought that was inappropriate," she said.
Director of Residence Halls Robert Redick said Nevil was dismissed on Thursday
"He is no longer with the University. That was my judgment in terms of University poli-
cy,” said Redick, who refused to comment on the specifics surrounding Nevil’s dismissal.
“You have to respect the privacy of the individual," Redick said. “It's like the grades of one student are not shown to other students, and discipline cases are not revealed.” Because he had just been hired, Nevil was on a customary 90-day probation.
“He did not meet the expectations of the staff, and since he was on probationary status. Redick decided not to retain him," said William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs.
Barbara Nevil said she believes her son was under the impression that he was going to keep his job.
Nevil told his mother on Monday he was told his probationary period would be extended until May.
Barbara Nevil said her son was surprised that he was fired.
"He thoroughly enjoyed his job. He's sad and unhappy and surprised." she said.
Redick said he does not see a problem with residence coordinators being at bars or clubs with students.
“If someone was at a bar or wasn't is not really the case. Staff members and students could be at bars together. They could even sit at the same table," Redick said. “It depends what they are doing at a bar with students. Obviously, I would have no problem with them being in the same place."
Redick said all employees of the University of Miami should be role models.
“I believe all of us should be a good role model," Redick said. “It's like a good teacher. Students would expect that of faculty members."
Nevil came to the University of Miami in late December to fill the position vacated by

RSMAS nature magazine to end 33-year run
By ARMANDO BONICHE
Staff Writer
The Board of Trustees of the International Oceanographic Foundation and the University of Miami on Thursday decided to cease publication of Sea Frontiers, an oceanographic magazine that provided both scholars and lay-persons with up-to-date research information about the world's oceans for over 40 years.
The magazine, started in 1954 by the IOF, a private, non-profit organization, to foster a better understanding of the ocean, had recently received considerable recognition. It had been voted best written, best designed and best overall consumer magazine in 1993 and 1994 by the Florida Magazine Association.
The decision to cease publication was based primarily on the magazine's troubled finances. According to Otis Brown, dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, the magazine was projected to run massive debt this year.
“We were projecting a deficit of $100,000 for this fiscal year," Brown said.
In fact, Sea Frontiers has been operating in the red for a long time. For the past several years, the magazine had begun to eat away at a quasi-endowment set up to fund the IOF. The quasi-endowment, which began as three million dollars the IOF received when it sold Planet Ocean on Virginia Key, has dwindled to $1.7 million over the years.
"Over the last years no matter what was tried, the red ink didn't stop," Brown said. “Something had to be done"
But according to Bonnie Gordon, out-going editor of Sea Frontiers, environmental magazines such as Sea Frontiers have not done well economically in past years,
“Sierra Club Magazine has
"It's been a tough few years, and it's getting tougher."
BONNIE GORDON, Sea Frontiers Editor
been running on big deficit," said Gordon. "All these magazines, including Sea Frontiers, fit into this category."
Gordon said the University and the IOF expected Sea Frontiers to break even or make a profit every year. However, the magazine did not even come close to breaking even.
“Universities are suffering huge financial problems; finances are really hard." Gordon said. “It's been a tough few years, and it's getting tougher."
Brown confirmed the IOF had made an agreement with the University that called for Sea Frontiers to break even every fiscal year.
“While the magazine was set up to break even in an agreement with the IOF, in fact it was not,” Brown said.
The loss of Sea Frontiers affects a number of subscribers who had made subscriptions to the quarterly magazine. Brown said these readers would he given a choice as to what to do with their subscription payment.
"We are going to send a letter to all subscribers and ask them if they wish to have their money refunded or contribute their outstanding balance to marine science outreach."
Saddened by the IOF’s decision, Gordon indicated that the loss of Sea Frontiers will leave a large void in the studies of marine sciences.

Canterbury students met at the Rock on Friday to raise money for their school
Canterbury holds walk-a-thon
By JESSICA BYRD and SCOTT PARRISH
Staff Writers
The UM Canterbury Preschool held its first annual Walk/Stroll-a-Thon Friday in front of the Richter Library.
Over 175 participants, ranging in age from toddlers to adults, made the event a success. The preschool raised approximately $5.000 from this event, which will be used to prevent tuition increases.
The proceeds will fund institutional materials, such as wooden furniture, a camcorder and a specialized work bench to help develop the children's cognitive skills.
Sponsors included the Interfratemity Council and the UM Panhellenic Council. Many local organizations also contributed to the event.
International flags and balloons greeted walkers as they began the Walk-a-Thon. Musicians from the UM Band of the Hour provided entertainment for the fundraising event.
"The Canterbury School has come a long way, growing into what is now a fabulous center," said William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs.
Due to the large success of the Walk-a-Thon, Canterbury Preschool plans to a begin a tradition of walk-a-thons fundrais-

Reserved parking signs will be removed on Thursday
By KIMBERLY WEISSMAN
Staff Writer
On Thursday, the Department of Public Safety will remove all reserved parking signs on campus, except those for the handicapped parking spaces and those mandated by law or ordinance.
According to Eric Shoemaker, director of F*ublic Safety, a total of 450 signs will be removed from parking lots throughout the University.
In place of the signs, all information will be displayed on the lot or space
surface. Shiny reflectors will make them more noticeable to drivers.
The purpose of removing the signs is to enhance the look of the university-
"We've been thinking for a while now for a way to improve the overall appearance of the campus,” Shoemaker said. "The signs are ugly, so we decided they needed to go."
However, not everyone thinks the removal of the signs will be a major change.
"It really won’t make a difference to
the appearance of the campus because you can barely see the signs as they are now," junior Kristine Gamelin said.
Freshman Kelli McDonald agreed.
"It’s very confusing now and painting the ground doesn't seem like a much more attractive alternative,” McDonald said.
Shoemaker said that no approved, existing reserved spaces will be abolished and neither will changes to existing resource distributions occur.

The name du Pont stands for many things. Statesmen. Patriots. Chemists. Businessmen.
John E. du Pont has changed that. Friday, du Pont took a .38-caliber revolver and shot former-Olympic athlete Dave Schultz twice in the chest and once in the arm. Schultz, 36, was pronounced dead at Mercy Haverford Hospital in suburban Philadelphia.
Du Pont, 57, barricaded himself in his mansion at Newtown Square, Pa.
(approximately 15 miles from Philadelphia), and was finally captured by a SWAT team at 3:30 p.m. Sunday after being holed up for more than two days.
Authorities did not attempt to open fire or enter the mansion because du Pont was an expert marksman
The accused murderer was heir to the du Pont fortune built by his great-great grandfather, E 1 du Pont, in the early 1800s
Du Pont, who has been a benefactor to athletics ranging from wrestling to swimming, attended ‘he
University of Miami from 1961-1965.
During his years at UM, du Pont was active in both athletics and greek life while pursuing a bachelor's degree in zoology.
In his sophomore year, du Pont joined the UM swim team. He received a letter in 1963 and competed until his senior year in 1965.
Outside of athletics, du Pont was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha for four years. His junior year he was tapped into the honorary fraternity,
