Student Appreciation Begins Monday! Week UNIVtRSITV OF MIAMI Volume 57, No.49 4a Friday. April 10, 1981 Phone 284-4401 Board Members Elected By AMY JACOVES News Editor The University of Miami Board of Trustees elected five new trustees, including one designated alumnus trustee during its annual meeting held on Wednesday, March 25. James W. McLamore was reelected chairman of the Board of Trustee and Charles E. Cobb, Jr. was elected as vice chairman. Neil Schiff was also elected to the position of vice chairman. Charles Capps, secretary to the Board, said that each year new trustees are elected to serve. Approximately three to six are chosen each year. Regular trustees are elected for one year terms and, according to Capps, this is a kind of test perios where their performance as a member of the Board is evaluated. Among the things looked at is “their ability to attract” community favor, "fund raising potential” and whether or not they serve as “good trustees.” Stanley N. Glasgow, an architect with the firm of Ferguson, Glasgow and Schuster, Inc. was elected to a three-year term as an alumnus trustee. Glasgow, who received his B.S.N.E. in 1953, is vice president of the Coral Gables chapter of the American Institute of Architects, a director of the Florida A.I.A, and was 1976 president of the General Alumni Association. Selected were Eddie T. Pearson, executive director of vocational and adult education for Dade County Public Schools. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Homestead Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Health Task Force of Homestead/ Florida City. The president of Florida Memorial College, Willie C. Robinson was also selected. Robinson is on the executive board of the United Negro College Fun, the executive committee of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and vice president of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority of Dade County. Michael Weintraub, the vice president and chief executive officer of Pan American Bancshares and partner in the law firm of Smathers and Thompson. His civic activities Include serving as a director of The Miami Heart Institute, a trustee of Mount Sinai Hospitial and member of the advisory board of Variety Children's Hospital. Industrial and educator, George S. Wise, who until March 25 served as director of the University’s Center for Advanced International Studies for the past two and one-half yearswas also selected for the one year term. In other action, the boar re-elected to the executive committee Mr. Cobb, Melvin N. Greenberg, David Kraslow, Ellen W. McDonnell, Archie L. Monroe, Neil Schiff and Peter Storer. New members are Fred Berens and James S. Billings. Ex-officio members of the executive committee ar McLamore, Patrick J. Cesarano, and yM President Henry King Stanford. There are 78 members serving on the board: 54 elected members, six ex-officio members and 18 emeriti members. Capps stated that “it’s a very active Board” which sets just about all of the University’s policies. “They [the Trustees) set all the polices and are administered by the administration.” he said. Some of the policies include student disciplinary codes, tuition, the hiring of faculty, and approving tenure. The Board of Ti*ustees also select the University President. “I feel very good and strong about him. He seems like he's going to be a good president for us," Capps commented about the newly elected UM President Edward Thaddeus “Tad" Foote. Capps described Foote as “dynamic” and “decisive” and Said that he will be able to lead UM effectively. Thomas Hearn, who was also in the running for the presidency, was criticized by the Miami Herald for his hiring practices. "The Trustees tried to dismiss the reports in the press. 1 really don’t think that had much at all to do with the decision," Capps said. “They were both outstanding. It was a real hard decision to make,” concluded th£ Secretary. Foote: “I’ll Be Accessible To The Students” New Stage Has No Name By ELIZABETH BABUN News Writer Choosing a title for the soon-to-be completed Brockway Hall Stage has been a controversial issue for the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) and the UM Administration. The student government was asked late last fall by Dr. Hank Diers, chairman of the drama department, to recommend a title for the stage. The USBG Executive Council proposed that the stage be named in honor of former USBG President Paul Novack, who fought for the funding of the stage. President Henry King Stanford's cabinet overruled the proposal at a cabinet meeting on March 5. “Because the funding came from many departments the cabinet felt the stage should not be named after Novack," said Assistant to the President C. Bryce Dunham. USBG President Alan Rubin disagreed. “Things in the university are named after donors that have not contributed 100 percent to the cause,” he said. “Novack was probably the best USBG president we’ve ever had.” Novack proposed in the spring of his 1979-80 term that the student rebate program, which was then returning up to $100 in tuition money to each student, be split 50-50, giving half the rebate money to university projects, such as the stage. USBG allocated $20,000 from the rebate money for the stage. “The money was spent because the drama and music students didn't have that kind of a facility,” said Novack. “The university wasn’t going to build one.” This spring, as the construction of the stage, located in Brockway Hall opposite the Richter Library, neared completion, Diers officially recommended Novack’s name to President Stanford. According to a memorandum issued Feb. 25 from Diers to President Stanford, Diers notes: “It seems most appropriate that the facility be named for a student and especially for a student who did so much towards creating the funds which initiated the project and who so steadfastly sought the achievement of this goal.” Instead, the Executive Council has planned to place a plaque with the names of all contributors on the stage, which is now valued at $60,000. “I was flattered that the drama department and USBG supported the naming of the stage after me,” said Novack. “I do think the stage belongs to the students, and I was working for the student body at the time [of rebate money decisions]. “I was disappointed a little when I was informed that the proposal was overruled by the cabinet,” he said, adding that “those are the breaks.” Additional donations included $10,000 from the School of Music, $3,000 from Friends of Theatre, $17,000 from the drama department, and $10,000 from President Stanford. Other major donors were the School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School, and Diers. By AMY JACOVES News Editor “I think that this University has a great opportunity to make dramatic strides to and including excellence,” said UM President-elect Edward Thaddeus “Tad" Foote II. Foote, who was in Miami this week to do some "homework,” discussed with the Hurricane some of his impressions and goals for UM. “The reason I’m here [in Miami) now is that I’m literally the newest student on this campus,” Foote said. “There are many things to be done on this campus,” he said, and he is on campus to help define the areas of improvement and to become familiar with students. “I just met with all the student leaders and I’ve gotten their views,” he stated. In his relationship with students, Foote plans to be “fully accessible.” He clarified his statement by saying that his job carries many responsibilities, thus he may not be avail-' able at all times, but, “I guarantee to return the call” and to keep up “maximum communication.” Foote says that he likes students and that it’s “been the high point” of his career. He served as Vice Chancellor, General Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Trustees and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and as Dean of its Law School. Foote was also Special Advisor to the Chancellor and Board of Trustees. But he says, “I have only one University now — the University of Miami. . .I'm really proud to be here.” Foote stated that the Sun Tan U image that has plagued UM for years “is much less of an image nationally than it had been. "Images are sometimes quick to form and slow to dissolve,” he said. “The University has taken large strides . . .this University may just be better than they think it is.” The president-elect said that he plans “to learn as much Spanish” as he can. “One of the exciting things about this city |Miami] is its mul-tiethnocentricity,” Foote said. With the retirements of some key people in the administration, Foote said that he will have a key role in selecting qualified people to fill these positions. “One of the things a president should do is bring in people of the highest caliber,” he stated. Foote also said that he is "studying the organizational structure of the University and am planning nothing more until I find out more about it.” The question of a football stadium has been brought to Foote’s attention, but he said that he is not clear on all of the details. He is aware that “it’s an issue.” "I have not even had the pleasure of meeting the coach [Schnellenber-ger|,” commented Foote. He said that he was proud of the Hurricanes’ Peach Bowl victory, “in retrospect." “I think that intercollegiate athletics in perspective is a good thing. The trick is to keep the perspective," Foote said. According to F'oote. education is a “twin mission” and must incorporate the “development of the whole person.” Another area that can provide fun for students, according to Foote, is the Greek system. He said that at Washington University it is not very big and had heard that it was not very big at UM. A University is supposed to be a place of enjoyment. . .that’s what 1 think fraternities and sororities are all about. They can be a fun part of campus life and I hope they are here,” he said. The students’ newspaper is an important part of a university. Foote said. “I think one of the major challenges of any great university is I communication” and bp promotes “anything that does that accurately." “I love journalism. I think it has a great role to play," Foote stated. UM President Henry King Stanford, Foote said, is "one of the most respected and well known college presidents in this country. The University has made extraordinary achievements under his leadership." Foote said that he looks forward to working with the Board of Trustees and hopes to have a “cordial and constructive relationship” with them. “I already have a relationship the Board — they hired me. . .They’ve paid me a highest compliment. I will do my best not to let them down,” he said. Feel Appreciated All Next Week By DEBBIE WILKER Editor-in-chief A week-long festival offering something special for all UM students begins this Monday with a live concert in the Rathskeller. Student Appreciation Week is the brainchild of Student Affairs administrators who thought it was time for the students to get “a little something in return for all their hard work.” “Basically the whole idea is to ■■KaHHIHIIH/ *. T» Lifelines, UM's campus health awareness program wraps up a week long festival of activités today. According to the program's direc- | tor, Marc Fried-land, many people took advantage of the free health tests (right) which were provided. Miami Hurricane/STU BAYER give back to the students a week of appreciation which shows how much we care about all the hard work and time they have put in this year," explained Jeffrey Zirulnek, assistant director of Student Activities. “We want to do whatever we can for the students in the remaining time before they leave. We want to give them a big send-off and psyche them up to come back next year,” he added. The week’s activities include many live concerts ranging from rock music to a performance by The Miami Percussion Ensemble. Beaumont Cinema will play host for a special screening of the movie My Body Guard, and the campus food service, SAGA, will donate gallons of ice cream to the “Sundae Mountain” contest. The Hillel House will be holding Passover Services and a Seder, and The Wesley Center will offer an Easter Sunrise Breakfast. Other organizations taking part are the Undergraduate Student Body Government, Student Union Program Council, the Music School, and the Budweiser Beer campus representatives. Zirulnek believes it is important to make students feel wanted and appreciated. He hopes to extend this idea and tie it in with the upcoming fall semester’s Orientation Week. “We’d like to hold a big concert on the patio and a midnight movie show with pizza and other free munchies,” he said. “The cumulative dollar amount of putting together a week like this is probably near $5,000. It is worth it.though. I hope to show that UM offers many opportunities to do interesting things, as well as being a good atmosphere for studying.” said Zirulnek. » Homework Is Foote’s Task
