Professor Attacks Administration's By MARIA VEGA Cap« Editor An administrative refusal to open an additional class section in Italian has enraged Associate Professor Anna R Ceci-Knabb, who had offered to teach that extra section The Foreign Language Department offered four Italian sections this spring, one of which was IT A 101. All sections closed at 30 students and by the last day of registration, that section was closed. According to the professor who teaches all the Italian courses, "Ele- Conflicts Over Ini'* By RICK HFRMIDA Mur ricant Staff Writtr UM’s Center for Advanced International Studies has been the focal point of both student and administrative concern amid rumors of faculty resignation, faulty management, and general disorientation. "There is a tremendous amount of disorganization in the Center; there is no proper advising for the program. No one ever told me what courses I should take,” said one Center student who asked not to be identified. Two graduate students at the Center believe the crux of the problem to be Center Director George Wise. "Wise has no field which would qualify him to be an instructor at the Center,” said one of the students. ‘Tve been here for some time and still have no idea of what Dr. Wise even looks like," he said. Wise disagreed. "The Center now is actually more diversified than it ever was. We are constantly in the process of interviewing qualified professors," Wise said. The students at the Center were also disgruntled over six fellowship awards — totalling approximately $54,000 — which were never awarded. The six students were recommended by a faculty screening committee. Their awards were denied, however, for reasons of “incompetence.” Jaime Suchiiki, who recently resigned from the Center for “personal rfasons," was on the faculty screening committee. "The reason why the fellowships were denied was that I wanted scholars and research assistants at the same time,” Wise said. A student currently involved in research said of Wise’s explanation, "Bulls — -.” "While my application was being processed, I was engaged in research. That was unmistakeable to anyone." the student said. The fellowships were open to the 90 to 100 students currently enrolled at the Center. According to another student, the Center’s once highly renowned Soviet Program seems to have fallen into disarray. “The Soviet Program started to go downhill after several professors left. That took the heart out of the Soviet Program," he said. There are only two professors currently at the Center who are capable of teaching Soviet Foreign Policy. Wise would not comment on the direction of Center policy, but asserted that the Center’s "concentration had not shifted away from Soviet studies,” but, rather, "was equally divided among Middle East and Latin American Studies.” • The students, however, disagreed. “There has definitely been a shift of interest. The Middle East is now the Center's area of concentration. If any at all,” said a graduate student. In addition to the increasing criti- ven more students wanted to take the course. Dr. Arthur Brown (Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences) ■ould not permit the opening of another section for me because it would make five classes and there are no funds for overloads. "No funds! Then where are the $150,000 alloted to move offices from Ashe to Merrick, and vice versa, coming from?” she asked. Ceci-Knabb, who offered to let the extra students into her class, said they were told to “go to Miami-Dade Community College.” Some of the students did just Persist 1 Center cism of Center direction, discontent continues over the Suchiiki resignation. Wise refused to comment. "Suchiiki really worked hard at his position, but he couldn’t accomplish what he wanted — so he left," said a female graduate student at the Center. that. Others, like Lisa Morelli, a biology major who lives on campus, gave up “l couldn't afford to go to Dade, because here I'm on a scholarship. 1 didn't have any transportation either. They wouldn’t even let me sit in the class. I would have done it without credit," Morelli said. Brown maintains that the overload refusal had nothing to do with money, “I will not authorize overloads for instructors who already have a full-time load even if the instructor is willing to teach. It is the policy of the University." Ceci-Knabb, who came to UM 33 years ago, after working in the U.S. Navy for the Office of Naval Intelligence, feels that the current administration, specifically Brown and Provost Clyde Wingfield, is indifferent to the students’ needs. "Flere, the administration goes in one direction, the faculty in another and the poor students are caught in between. Never have I seen a more deplorable state of demoralization as on this campus today under the direction of our provost and the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,” she said. “Out! We don’t need people like that," she exclaimed. Her concerns go beyond the ne- cessity for an extra Italian section; they entail the workings of the entire department. “The faculty manual has been violated so many times it’s not even worth the paper it's written on,” Ceci-Knabb said. She said some professors ignore the set dates for final exams, although the dean sends out memoranda for professors to adhere to the schedule. Nothing is done about this and students must skip classes in order to take finals. When the subject of tenure for an instructor comes up, the professors and the chairman vote for or against. She said that some instructors receive or are denied tenure solely on the decision of the provost and dean. “When the department votes 80 percent against (tenure) and the chairman votes against, why does the administration grant tenure to this individual without any explanation for their actions? Who knows a colleague better than the colleagues of his known department?” the professor asked. “In another case, the department votes unanimously for the professor and the chairman also casts a positive vote. In spite of this, the professor does not get tenure because of a personal incident between the professor and the provost," she recalls. Brown says the decision of tenure is ultimately that of the Board of Trustees and explains the long process involved. "The application for tenure is first voted on by the professors and chairman; then it comes to my office for my recommendation and that of my advisory board; it goes to the Provost's office, to (UM) President (Henry King) Stanford, and finally to the Board. It is a long and thorough process." Ceci-Knabb feels the department has deteriorated through the years. She remembers when the Foreign Language Department offered a major in German. "Until recently, there were at least three full-time German professors. Today, there is just one fulltime professor and two part-time instructors. You see, it is much cheaper to employ part-time. Who are getting the short end of the stick? — the students." Another of her concerns involves graduate courses. There are no See ATTACKS Page 2 Knight Donates Conference Hall By B. F. FERNANDEZ And PETER HAMM Of Tha Hurricane Staff The city of Miami has granted permission for UM and a hotel chain to begin the construction of the James L. Knight International Conference Center. The project has been made ftossible by a donation from the James L. Knight Charitable Trust. Hundreds of students participated in the third annual Budweiser Super Sports, held Friday and Saturday on the Intramural Field. On Lake Osceola,in 55-60 degree weather participants were pitted against each other in canoe races, and many contestants got dunked in the beautiful waters. Besides the races, events included relays, volleyball, frisbee golf, and tug-o-war. The winning team represented the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. On Saturday night, all of those who challenged the cold were rewarded with a party at the Ibis Cafeteria, where Budweiser supplied free beer. Presidential Search Nears By AMY JAC OVES Assistant News Editor "We (the committee) will continue our review over the next several months and hopefully will have some recommendations to make in April or May to faculty and deans consultive committee and then to the Board of Trustees to make the selections." Stuart Patton Chairman of Search Committee The Presidential Search Committee, responsible for finding a replacement for UM President Henry King Stanford, scheduled to retire in May 1981, has narrowed the field of prospective applicants to eight. According to Stuart Patton, chairman of the Search Committee and member of the UM Board of Trustees, said that out of the 260 applications received by the committee for the position, eight are still being considered. “We have continued to review the 260 applications which we have received. We have now reduced it down to eight individuals,” Patton said. Of the eight, five are presidents of universities around the country, one is a former president who is now on special assignment, and two are provosts. Patton said that the committee has been searching for candidates who will be presented to the faculty, deans, and presidents of the four schools on campus (Undergraduate, Law School, Medical School and the Graduate School). The faculty, deans, and presidents will then express their opinions in writing to the UM Board of Trustees. The trustees will make the final decision on the next UM president. "We (the committee) will continue our review over the next sev- eral months and hopefully will have some recommendations to make in April or May to faculty and deans consultive committee and then to the Board of Trustees to make the selections,” Patton said "The students will participate with the (student government) presidents of the four schools at a time concurrent when the faculty and deans consultive committee meets and reviews the seriously considered candidates," Patton said. Although Stanford plans to retire in 1981, he said that if a replacement is found at an earlier date, he will step down. The Search Committee is composed of individuals that are designated by the administration to seek a replacement for Stanford. The search committee began interviewing applicants and nominees on November 15. The amount of the gift from the Knight Trust is “very substantial" according to UM Business Manager Oliver Bonnert, who could not give the exact sum of the gift. He said the gift was enough to cover UM's contribution to the center, and that the project was in the hands of the Development office. The conference center would be used for a variety of purposes, such as conventions and other large meetings. The University would receive a considerable amount of floor space for lectures and conferences. The conference center is being built in downtown Miami along the Miami River. Plans include the construction of a convention hall that will seat 6,000 to 7,000 persons, conference rooms, a parking garage, and a shopping mall. The Miami Center Associates, owners of the Intercontinental Hotel chain, will build a hotel atop the convention center. The original plan was to have the Conference Center on campus, but the Coral Gables City Commission issued restrictions that banned hotels in the area from advertising or displaying a sign. This caused the Intercontinental Hotel chain to pull out of the original agreement with the University. The city of Miami then granted permission to UM to begin building the Center/Hotel downtown, according to UM President Henry King Stanford. The hotel people agreed to re-enter the agreement. "It is a unique venture. A private university, a municipality like the city of Miami, and a private developer ironing out their difficulties and working together,” Bonnert said. James L. Knight is the owner of the Knight Foundation, the chain of newspapers that owns The Miami Herald. The James L. Knight Charitable Trust of Akron, Ohio, works independently and without connection to the newspaper chain, and Knight has no controlling power in the decisions of the Trust. UM’s designated space will cover approximately 38,000 square feet. The area will be used for conferences and educational programs presented by Dean Robert Allen of the School of Continuing Studies. Formerly, UM has had to resort to renting conference rooms in hotels. Completion date of the Knight Center remains indefinite. "Our money has been put into escrow until the completion (of the conference center)," Stanford said. Some Students Never Fin ished Ree ist ra lion By AMY JACOVES Asustanf News Editor An undetermined number of students who did not complete their registration are attending classes for which they have not paid. “It's pretty painfully clear that students are postponing registration," said UM Bursar Paul Costell. According to Richard Banks, assistant dean pf the College of Arts and Sciences, “the problem of unregistered students attending class has been getting worse each semester.” Sid Weisburd. UM Registrar, said that it is a "very unfortunate” situation because many of the students who do not register fail to do so for manv reasons One of the reasons he identified is that the student does het lave enough money to complete his registration. Several students go to classes and onlv actually sign up for the course after seeing how well they do in the course (if they get an "A" or “B".) “The majority seem to be holding their kits and coupons for reasons % of their own, probably to determine how well they are doing before paying tuition,” Banks said. Weisburd said that this is very unfair to those students who complete the registration process. In order to remedy the situation, Weisburd sent out memoranda to the faculty, advising them to send lists of those students who are not registered for a specific course. To reinforce Weisburd’s requests, Banks is sending out memoranda to the chairmen of the departments in the Collge of Arts and Sciences stating that "no unregistered student is to be allowed to remain in class.” Class rolls are being sent out to each faculty member and professors will be told that "no test should ever be returned to an unregistered student nor should any grade be given to one.” Students who are not enrolled in class will be sent to the Registrar in Room 249 Ashe where they will receive a "Course Add Notice." "No student will be admitted back into a class without one,” Banks said. Job Hunting At UM By ANDREW CAPONE Hurrlcan* Staff Writer The fifth annual Career Information Jamboree was held in the Student Union on Friday, drawing nearly 3000 UM students seeking information concerning employment and study opportunities. Over 75 private, governmental and educational organizations took part in the four hour event which according to Steering Committee member Martha Subias, "was meant to be an information gathering event rather than a recruiting session " Subias, president of Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity, said that “the Jamboree gave many graduating seniors their first contact with the organizations many of them may be working for in the near future.' The organizations which took part in the Jamboree, including such firms as IBM, The Bell System, Eastern Airlines, Bendix, as well as the U.S. Armed Forces and scores of others, had representatives available to distribute information and give insight into the workings of their firms. The various UM graduate and undergraduate schools also had advisors on hand to consult students wishing to further their education or inquire about courses and fields of study. Dr. F. Thomas Sheeder of the Career Planning and Placement Center headed the Steering Committee which organized the event with assistance from various campus individuals and organizations. Following the Jamboree, Tom Jackson, noted author, lecturer, and career strategist, spoke on the topic of "Guerilla Tactics In The Job Market,” in which he outlined an agressive, tactical approach to securing desired employment. The lecture, cosponsored by the UM Lecture Series and the Jamboree Committee, was free to all UM students. “Each year, the Jamboree gets better and more diverse, with more opportunities for our students. By using events like this, in conjunction with UM’s Career Planning and Placement and Counseling Centers, a student can have a definite advantage in the job market,” Subias said.
