More than too students participated in a candlelight rape vigil that was put together at the last minute by concerned members of the campus community. Their main concern was to speak out against the administration's lack of action following sexual attacks on campus. Christy Lewis, a student organizer, said she was there to raise awareness about rape and UNM's limited response to campus safety. "We arc protesting UNM's not doing anything about the violence," she said. "It's unfair what they're AI doing." Alma Rosa Silva-Vanvelo- tim. "No matter where you came from, you are vulnerable to rape," she said. Female and male students took part in speaking out against the violence. Chris Chavez, a senior, said he hoped the candlelight vigil would bring awareness to their cause. "I hope the administration sees this as a call to get help from them," he said. The rape vigil organizers called for all the students to boycott UNM football games in protest of two football players accused of rape last semester. The two plead guilty to e misdemeanor charges and remain on the football team.

Janice Finney, associate director of the FSU admissions office, said FSU will be accepting students who have earned an associate art degree at a Florida community college. But that does not relieve Craddock's fears. She said she is worried more students will be applying to UF for spring because of the closing of admissions at FSU decreasing her chances of getting accepted. UF Vice Provost Charles Frazier said the lowering of acceptance rates should not happen. "Our spring applications are a fairly stable figure year in and year round," he said. "I expect applicants that come to other universities ones that are pretty focused on that institution." For applicants to FSU, Frazier said they may have to wait until summer. UF officials say the admission crunch at FSU will not affect UF spring rates. Steve Pritz, from the UF Registrar's Office, said UF would not be lowering the number of students accepted in the spring. He added that the admission worries for students like Craddock, who think a larger poo), of applicants will keep them out, have no basis at UF because there aren't that many students who apply for that time in the school year. Most people apply for Summer and Fall semesters. More than 13,000 students applied to UF in Fall 1999, with more than 8,000 being accepted, according to UF's Office of Institutional Research. UF also admitted about 1,500 transfer students in fall 1999, according to UF data. Frazier agrees with Pritz that fears of a big pool of applicants can sometimes be unfounded. "Spring basically is transfer admissions," he said. "That will go on as usual. The freshman admission in the spring is not as large." Frazier said he does not expect a problem to arise.

Halls This semester, Pennsylvania State University dorm residents exploring their buildings for the nearest smoking lounge came up and students hoping to decorate their rooms with candles were denied. To increase fire safety, officials have banned smoking and the possession of candles anywhere in dorms. "It's a good decision. It's safer," Conal Carr, assistant director of residence life and adviser for the Student Fire Safety Commission, said of the new smoking policy. Laura Klingelhoefer, a junior in elementary education and an is glad to sec the smoking lounges go. "The smell of it really bothered me," she said. "I don't want to smell like smoke when I'm walking past" However, others see the ban on smoking in dorms as an unnecessary intrusion into students' lives. "The fact that most freshmen are 18 and can legally smoke almost makes it kind of silly that the university is saying, 'No, you can't,'" said Lauren Thomas, a senior in management and international business. Thomas said if she still lived on campus, smoking in January wouldn't be pleasant; and she doubted the empty-hande- FRIDAY d, lack of indoor facilities will cut down on smoking rates. "The real are going to be out there with their coats and their smoking mittens with two fingers cut out," he said. Carr said upcoming cold weather may tempt residents to light up in their rooms, but he advised against it "Our staff are fairly good at noticing it and disciplining accordingly," he said. This year, Residence Life will be enforcing the smoking ban as well as another rule that bans ' candles in dorms. that's "Anything lightable or has an open flame isn't allowed," said Diane Andrews, senior associate director of residence life. She said resident assistants will not be searching rooms, but students can be written up if it becomes clear that there is something in a room that is prohibited. , "Having a candle would be considered a housing violation," Andrews said.

Fla. resident's No. choice because of its renowned education program. The reason for Craddock's concern spans from the vast number of students who were accepted to UF this past semester 15 percent more than what officials expected. Craddock, who wants to major in elementary education after she leaves the Fort Myers school, said she also heard about the large number of students who were accepted at Florida State University. Spring admission there will be limited. "I'm going to be a junior, so I'm more special," she said. "But, I don't 30 AUCI. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA Worship Band. .
