Break up Stanford.
For the third straight year, the residential college is king of the campus Sunday as they claimed the championship trophy for Sports Fest ’96.
SRC steamrolled the competition again, finishing over 4,500 points above its nearest opponent. Hecht Residential College, followed by Eaton, Mahoney and Pearson.
The champions said the tournament, organized and run by Campus Sports and Recreation, was a lot harder than the statistic indicates.
“It was a grueling weekend,” said Keith Meadows, residence coordinator at Stanford. “Everyone wanted to win every event. They were tough competition out there, but we consistently gave it our all.”
Meadows credits the third-straight championship to the wide participation and organization of the college for the annual event.
“There’s a lot of hard work involved," he said. "Teams have to understand that they have to be to events on time. Our motto was be there on time and be ready to play. We did a lot of the little things and we had a lot of support."

Campus television station UM Vision produced its first Internal Affairx show Friday, a no-audience, 30-minute, talk show focusing on higher education issues.
Their first guests were President Edward T. Foote II and Executive Vice President and Provost Luis Glaser.
School of Communication graduate student Kellie Butler interviewed Foote and Glaser.
“I was very interested in interviewing the President and Provost,” Butler said. “I think it went very
well. It enlightened me on some issues that I wasn't too familiar with.”
Butler’s first question about why tuition is so high at UM, was answered by Foote. He answered by saying that he understood students' and parents' concerns.
“It happens that not only am I a president, but I am also a parent of three children," Foote said.
He explained how UM has been
working at maximizing educational value for students. Foote also described that the cost of a year’s worth of private education is still comparable to the price of a new Ford car, which Foote used as a barometer of inflation.
Glaser commented on financial aid concerns and on the Miami Commitment project, a student employment program at UM.
The topics of Butler’s questions ranged from budget cuts to recruiting to affirmative action and the public’s perception of the University and the city of Miami.
Susan Roumelis, director of UM Vision and professor at the School of Communication, said she was impressed with the first show.
UM Vision programming, Roumelis said, is being broadcast on some local cable company channels. An estimated potential audience of almost 600,000 will be able to see Internal Affairs and other campus-produced programming.
Campus television station UM Vision produced its first
Internal Affairs show ... focusing on higher education issues.
Four more shows are planned for this semester, Roumelis said.
Friday’s taping aired Monday on UM Vision- Channel 24 and will air again at 7 p.m. tonight.

Hillel Center exhibits student artist’s ‘Works’
Display includes various examples of airbrush, collage, charcoal, pen and ink styles
By KELLY RUANE
Associate News Editor
The Lowe Art Museum is not the only place where students can find art on campus. The Hillel Jewish Student Center is now exhibiting the art work of junior Leslie Adler.
"It’s called LA Graphic Works. That’s my logo,” Adler said.
The exhibit went on display Sunday in the lobby at Hillel after an opening reception
Adler designed herself. This is not the first time Hillel has exhibited art from students.
“This is the first time this year. We did three shows last year," said Debra Feldman, associate director of Hillel.
Feldman said the Hillel exhibits are important because they give student artists a chance to express themselves and to create their own showcase for their work.
“The greatest thing about it is that they
have free license to design the gallery,” Feldman said. "We have an opening reception for them, and we help them out a little bit.
"They’re responsible for making the invitations, planning the reception, as well as deciding what they want for food and getting the word out.”
The opening reception for Adler included a performance by the modern alternative band The Road, made up of UM alumni.
"I asked one of the band members, a friend, if he would perform during my show, and as it turns out he asked the entire band to play," Adler said.
Feldman said it was the first performance by The Road, and there were some representatives from record labels attending the reception.
Adler said her artwork is made of a variety of different styles.
"Right now I’m doing a mix," Adler said. “I do collage and a lot of graphic work. I do airbrush, charcoal drawings, pen and ink. I really like doing a mix.”
Adler said her inspiration and talent comes from her family.
"My family are all artists ... I had private art lessons when I was younger."
LESLIE ADLER Student artist
“My family are all artists and I was inspired by them,” she said.
She developed her taste for art as a child.
“I had private art lessons when I was younger. Ever since then, I really grew attached to it,” Adler said. “I like doing artwork. It really relaxes me.”
Adler said she has already sold some of the pieces on display at Hillel. She said displaying her work at Hillel is important to her.
"It gets my name out to a lot of different community members,” Adler said. “It’s a grxxi way of getting my art out to the community."
LA Graphic Works will be on display at Hillel until March 8.
Patrons missing out, complain about misplaced Richter books
By ARMANDO BONICHE
Staff Writer
In any library system, the mismanagement and misplacement of books can be an everyday occurrence. Although not u major problem at UM’s Richter Library, many patrons have complained that the missing books have cost them time and heartache.
The current University library system houses over two million books, the bulk of which are located in the Richter Library. The University also has libraries in its Law, Medical, Marine School, Music and Architecture schools.
According to Kimberly Payne, account supervisor in Richter s
Circulation Department, the problem of misplaced books is not as grave a situation us others may think.
“I don’t think it is a major problem, I think it is a natural problem in a library of our size,” said Payne.
In 1995, for example, 2,000 traces for misplaced books were pluced in the Richter Library. Of these, 1,622 were successfully located. Payne indicated that ulthough many books cannot be found the first time around, most are eventually retrieved and re-shelved in the proper locution by library staff.
“We just work on people’s
requests for traces, if they |books| aren’t found we withdraw them from the collection.”
A survey conducted by The Hurricane, indicated that utmost half the books on a list of 15 titles could not be located where the IBIS system indicated they could be found. Of the others, only six could easily be found while one was found only after considerably difficult seurch. Two of the brxiks were not in the Richter collection.
Michael Toro, a sophomore mujoring in biology, argues thut books are often no where to be found in the library, costing him valuable research time._______

MISSING IN ACTION
The Hurricane conducted a survey in order to determine whether books could be easily located in the Richter Library stacks. The results of the survey, which involved the location of 15 English literature and poetry books, are shown below:
