The colorful opening ceremony is only fitting as an introduction to a month that celebrates one of UM’s most vibrant ethnic groups, HHM is a national and campuswide celebration, with its main goal being “to help educate the University community about the contributions made by Hispanics in the United States,” said Steve Clark, director of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA). "UM is a very diverse institution,” Clark said. “A major part of that diversity is our Hispanic community" Hispanics make up 32 percent of the student body at UM, according to the most recent statistics. "Sometimes the introduction and the education is not only between the Hispanics and other groups, but it is also between ourselves," said Gladys Blanco, advisor for both the Federatiort of Cuban Students (FCU) and Mexican Student Association. “Yes, we all speak Spanish,but we are so different when you get to know us. Our foods, our ways of living, our cultures, are all so different.” HHM provides everyone with an opportunity to celebrate and learn about different cultures, sometimes even their own, organizers said. “It is a great way for us to show our heritage, and learn about ourselves," said Mileykah Burgos, presi- ^See^MONTH • Page 2 Series A!

No address change in Foote’s future New president to live on mango farm By William James Gong and Chris Perret Of the Staff When President Edward T. Foote II steps down as the chief administrative officer of the University of Miami at the end of this academic year, he may not loose the presidential estate—provided by the University for use by him and his family—in Coconut Grove, right off. It appears that the new president of the University will move into Four Fillies Farm, a property donated to the University, while Foote will stay in the house for two more years as the acting Chancellor, sources said. “Plans are still being worked out, but this is where we expect the new president to live,” said Dan, Kalmanson, director of University Media Relations of Four Fillie Farm. In order for these plans to go through, legal issues surrounding the estate must first be finalized, said Kalmanson. Four Fillies Farm was the property of Frank Smathers Jr., brother to the Wellness Center namesake George Smathers, who passed away in 1998. With his death, the estate was given to Northern Trust, at which point it was to be given over to UM. This process has been delayed due to complications over who the property actually belongs to. Along with being a prominent South Florida banker, Frank Smathers Jr. was an UM alumn, law school graduate, and member of the board of trustees at the University. Smathers' greatest passion was the raising of mangos, which can be seen all over his former 32-acre property, Kalmanson said. The Fairchild Tropical Gardens uses the property for research, and with the many different species of mangos on the farm, it has become one of the top places in the world for the researching the fruit. Since Smathers’ death, the University has taken over caring for the property, even though Smathers’ widow still lives in the house on the estate, Kalmanson said. The new president should be chosen by the beginning of the spring semester. While housing for the next president is settled, questions of who will replace Foote come May 2000 are still up in the air. The level of success that President Foote has set as a standard for the future president is seemingly overwhelming, according to the advertisement titled “President, University of Miami*” posted on the Presidential Search portion of the UM Website. “The successful candidate f president will be an individual wi can build upon President Foote's co siderable accomplishments and pr vide leadership that will expand t vision of the future of a dynam emerging, urban research univer ty,” says the advertisement.
