USG SERIES
Adlai Barry To Lecture?
Architectural Degree Now Offered At UM
By LYNNE OSTRO
Ron Shapo and Jerry Shevin, co-chairmen of the Undergraduate Student Government lecture series, are presently engaged in contacting speakers in regard to lecture engagements.
This year's potential list includes: Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. William Buckleym editor of "National Review." noted scientist Werner Von Braun. Supreme Court Justice Douglas, Adlai Stevenson. Senator Hubert Humphrey. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and General Nathan Twining.
There may be a Latin American seminar conducted by Senator George Smathers, with such names as Jose Figueras, former president of Costa Rica.
In the past, the USG lecture series has brought many worthwhile speakers to the University. These have included Senator Wayne Morse, Robert Frost. John Ciardi, Vance Packard, and Henry Field.
"The purpose of the lecture series is to act as an invaluable supplement to the student's education in the classroom." commented Shapo.
“I am hoping that within the next two years the student body and Administration will see fit to give the lecture series its deserved recognition— through attendance and support for greater financial aid.”
♦ A five-year pro'gram, culminating in a Bachelor of Architecture degree, will be instituted for the first time in the School of Engineering this fall semester.
Heading this program will be James E. Branch, member of the American Institute of Architectures and a practicing architect. He joined the University of Miami in 1946 and organized the department of architectural engineering in 1951.
FALL REPLACEMENT? UM is seeking Billy Butterfield for
the Homecoming Dance. Count Basic cancelled out.
Dean Announces New Fall Policies
UM’s social fraternities will operate this fall under a new set of policies recently announced by the Dean of Men’s Office.
The fraternities will undertake a deferred rush program designed to increase to a meas-ureable extent the scholarship
of their members and pledges. Starting in Feb., 1962, pledges must have completed at least one semester at the University with an overall 1.0 average.
The Greeks will also institute a plan which will improve their dress, etiquette, and social conduct. Fraternity weekends have
been eliminated, and the fraternities will be limited to two social functions per week. Two University-approved chaperones over 30 years of age will be present for every 39 persons in attendance at a social function.

Finals Approaching
UM NEARS ‘CRAM WEEK/
If you haven’t noticed that little glitter in your prof’s eye then you’ve probably slept through the second session of summer school.
Fiendish minds will again be burning wood for the time of finals is lurking closer and closer and closer . . .
The first two evening classes get first shot at the ambiguous questions Friday. The rest have it Monday, Aug. 28.
All examinations will take place in the rooms in which the individual classes have been meeting. If a conflict in the examination schedule should occur, students should consult the instructors whose courses are in conflict. When an alternate time or times have been arranged the academic dean should be informed.
The second session exam schedule:

Housing Named After Trustees
Each of the 30-plus apartments on campus were named this week, after senior members of the Board of Trustees.
Undergraduate Student Government subtn ted the proposal in May. The /..ministration gave its stamp of approval Tuesday.
Previously, the apartments were known by their street addresses. The addresses will be retained, of course, but will now have official names.
“We have long felt there is a need for architectural training to meet the requirements of subtropical areas such as ours,” Dr. Pearson said.
“Our program in architectural engineering has met this to a degree and this new curriculum, approved by the Board of Trustees, will provide what we hope will be a significant contribution not only to this area, but to others. Many of our students both from the United States and from Latin American have been requesting this program.”
The offering of the degree in architecture is in response to requests not only from the students but from the architects in this area, Dr. Pearson said. Local members of the A.I.A. have indicated their interest by offering to assist the program through serving as critics of student work as they progress in their training.
According to Dean T. A. Wey-her, 11 courses in architectural design and related subjects will be added to the teaching program within the next four years, raising the number of credits required for graduation to 170 as compared with 140 required in the five other engineering programs now offered.
While this is the first time the architectural degree will be offered by the School of Engineering, it is not new to the University, which had a School of Architecture in the twenties. It lasted from 1927 to 1930, but depression problems caused the administration to drop it.
Medical School Cited
The University of Miami’s multi-million dollar medical research program was cited last week by the Southern Regional Education Board in a new publication titled “University Research —Medical Milestones.”
UM’s School of Medicine holds | almost four million dollars a year t in research grants and is recognized as being one of the leading institutions in the South, par-itcularly in the field of cancer ' study.
National Food Service Installed On Campus
University students will be eating better starting this fall as a new food service will be installed on campus. The Slater Food Service Management will handle all food operations from management of the present cafeteria to functional planning consultant when food service facilities are expanded by a major addition to the Student Union.
Founded as a professional food service organization in 1926, Slater presently serves 140 schools, colleges and universities.
Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, present director of food services will join the Slater management in continued direction of university food services and other food service employees will be offered employment by Slater.
Purchasing policy of Slater is to make its purchases from vendors in the community.
DR. STENNING
. . . Moving Up
Dr. Stenning Is Elevated To Chairman
By ELLEN BOYKIN and JEFF ROSINEK
I’m at the University because I wanted to get away from the narrow specialization of M.I.T.,” says Dr. Alan H. Stenning, newly-appointed chairman of UM’s department of mechanical engineering.
London born Stenning received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, and came to America in 1950 on a Ful-brite Travel Award to study at M.I.T., where he received his master's and doctor of science degree in fluid mechanics.
In 1958 he joined M.I.T.’s newly formed graduate department of nuclear engineering to teach courses in reactor analysis and engineering. He resigned last year to become technical director of Northern Research and Engineering Corporation.
“Upon arriving here I was favorably impressed with the high calibre of the engineering students and faculty. This is quite contrary to the rumors I had heard previously,” disclosed Stenning.
“One of the big problems of engineering at all schools is one of finance. Getting competent men to leave high pay industrial jobs is a vast and costly proposition." he added.
Since 1950 he has also been assistant director of M.I.T.’s Gas Turbine Laboratory for two years and assistant project engineer doing research and development on advanced aircraft, and a member of the turbomachinery subcommittee of the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics.
Dr. Stenning will replace professor C. E. Anderson who has asked to return to teaching.
Stenning professes a keen in-j trest in UM’s relations with Latin America. “I believe that a vast field of engineering lies unopened I in Latin America.”
