Hicks To Head All UM Publications In Newly-Created Directorship
Wilson Hicks, UM journalism faculty member, was named yesterday the first director of University publications.
He will assume the position Jan. 1.
Hicks, former executive editor of Life Magazine who is presently supervisor of student publications, has taught photojournalism here since 1955.
He will continue his work in these two fields.
"In this newly-created position, Mr. Hicks will supervise the planning, writing and editing of all University of Miami publications," said UM President Jay F. W. Pearson.
"He (Hicks) brings to this important phase of the University's activities an unmatched wealth of experience from his 13 years as one of the chief editors of Life and his many previous years in executive po-

photo services and the Kansas City Star.”
Hicks joined the UM faculty as lecturer in journalism and began teaching photojournalism courses, which have drawn students from many states.
In 1957 he organized the first of the series of annual photojournalism conferences which have attracted international attention.
Three years ago Hicks was appointed supervisor of student publications: The Hurricane, the weekly campus newspaper, Tempo: the monthly magazine, and Ibis, the UM annual.
He is author of “Words and Pictures” a pioneering study of photojournalism.
“Naturally,” said Hicks, “I am pleased to be chosen for this important work, and happy that student publications will still be part of my responsibility.
"The assignment is a great challenge. I shall need the cooperation and help of many, and knowing the University and its people pretty well by now, I think there is no doubt that I shall get it.”
Hicks will move into his Ashe Building office before the end of the semester.
