U do. If you've read the school paper or have spoken with a resident of the dorms recently, you've surely heard of the difficulty in securing on-campus housing for the 2003-2004 academic year. It is true that in addition to four-hour lines, mass confusion, and minimal on-campus room availability, residents are forced to sign an addendum form that grants the Department of Residence Halls the right to relegate overbooked students to the "temporary" Holiday JAAFAR CHOUFA Inn overflow rooms across the street from campus.

When the Miami baseball team looked at the national rankings last weekend after sweeping Georgia Tech, the Hurricanes found themselves in the top 10 in all of the polls for the first time this season.
