Tropical Park Opening Day Nets University $100,000
By LOGAN FULRATH Numen» Stiff *»»«rt»t
Masters degrees in the field of business are now being offered to students from any academic school or college for the first time at UM.
The horses brought in an estimated (100,000 for the UM Scholarship Fund Thanksgiving Day at Tropical Park.
President Jay F. W. Pearson, Vico President and Director of Community Affairs H. Franklin Williams, and Coach Andy Gustafson were among dignitaries watching from the turf club on the track's opening day of a 40-day season in Coral Gables.
Over $375,000 has been received from the Park over the past five years for its annual UM Scholarship Day. The University receives both Tropical’s profit and the state tax. This year's exact total has not yet been computed.
Over 16,000 spectators and bettors surrounded the colorful track as UM’s Band of the Hour performed before the races.
Dr. Williams presented a silver chafing dish to the owners of Hoop Band, record breaking winner of the first division of the featured Hur-
ricane Handicap race.
“The race went off nicely,” Williams said, "and was a very good show.” He was "glad to see the money coming in for scholarships.”
Chuck Hall, vice president of the Dade County Commission, gave the trophy to the winner of Handicap’s second division.
UM will also benefit from a day at both the Hialeah and Gulf Stream racm later this season.
The MBA was formerly restricted to students who received their bachelors degree from the School of Business. The announcement of the change was made by Dr. Howard Zacur, professor of accounting.
He recently returned from an academic trip throughout the midwest-em and northwestern U. S. “The University of Miami’s Graduate School is one of the finest in the U. S.,” he said upon his return.
Dr. Zacur visited such schools as the University of Illinois, the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, Columbia University the University of Indiana, Harvard, Wharton School of Business and many others.
At Harvard, Dr. Zacur found that seven UM graduates have applied to the graduate school for admission to the business division. Two of these have been accepted, giving UM a high average of acceptance. Both of these students had received their degrees in fields other than business.
There are approximately 70 students enrolled in the Master of Business Administration program at UM. All have their bachelors degrees in business.
Students graduating from the University's School of Business Administration must attend the graduate school for one year in order to complete the requirements for the degree of MBA.
Students who have received their bachelor’s degree in fields other than business may complete the MBA requirements In two years.
Major fields under the graduate programs are accounting, finance, management and marketing.
"The program of general business graduate work should be of extra interest to students in Arts and Sci-
ence and Engineering who wish to expand their knowledge into workable areas beyond the fields of their chosen major,” Dr. Zacur said.
Additional information about the graduate program in business administration may be obtained from Dr. Riis Owre, dean of the Graduate School, or from Dr. Zacur in room 615 of the Ashe Building.
This step is the latest in UM’s academic development and accreditation progress.
Safety Week Starts Monday
A safety slogan contest, a wrecked automobile in front of the Student Union, a water safety show, and a freshman English theme contest will promote the theme of UM’s second annual Safety Week next week.

The deadline for applications from cinbs entering the slogan contest is 5 p.m. today, according to Dickman. Posters must be in the Student Activities Office by It a.m. Monday.
