An instructor in the communications department was denied tenure on the basis that her academic qualifications were no longer strong enough after 12 years of employment at UM.
The employment of television and radio professor Heather Bis-choff was terminated by the Tenure Review Board last year, even after the communications department unanimously recommended her, along with the endorsement of then chairman. Dr. Josephine Johnson.
Athletics
Deficit:
$383,000
By PETER S. HAMM
Assistant Naos Editor
The Athletic Department exceeded its budget by $383,000 this year, according to David Eieberman, Vice President for Financial Affairs.
The deficit was announced at last Friday’s Budget Committee meeting. The net deficit of that department is now above $1.4 million.
"I don’t accept that as a final figure,” said Dr. Harry Mallios. director of Athletics. “I'm working on reducing it in the fundraising area.”
Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Alan Rubin was distressed by the news.
“We are tired of the same excuses. The people blamed last year can't be used as scapegoats again. If this deficit weren’t going to be tolerated, it would not happen once, never mind a second time,” Rubin said.
Mallios said that the overexpenditure was the result of last year's budget being unattainable. At that time, the budget was prepared by Dr. John Green, who has since departed.
“Ever since last summer it's been known that the income budget See ATHLETIC Page 2
Within the rules, an instructor has an optional additional year to remain teaching, and in Bischoff's case she was offered another additional term, but has turned the offer down.because of the circumstances surrounding the termination.
“I will not be back next year. I can not work within a department where the goals of the administrators are not in the best interests of the students,” Bischoff said.
According to Bischoff, there was a memo in her file dated April 16, 1979, signed by Provost Dr. Clyde Wingfield that said:
“It is essential that the department shift from a trade school and
practioner orientation to a more intellectual and scholarly focus.”
This particular memo from the file is one that the Tenure Review Board is supposed to examine when they vote on whether a person should be granted tenure. Any administrator with a grievance or one who is going to vote “no" on a particular case must have that information in the person's files before the Review Board votes.
However, according to Bischoff, Wingfield’s memo was not in poses-sion of the Review Board at the time her case was reviewed, which is a violation of the rules.
Bischoff adds that these particu-
lar memos from Wingfield were not available for many cases which were reviewed this year as well.
“We are preparing students for a broadcast career. If we do not have the practitioner alongside the scholar, we do not have a well-rounded education nor a realistic atmosphere for studying the field,” Bis-choff said.
According to Dr. Elden Rawlings, chairman of the communications department, Bischoff js being denied tenure because of her academic qualifications.
"We are trying to find a replacement with both a strong professional and academic background.
We are looking for an instructor who is capable of teaching on the undergraduate and graduate level, and that means a Ph D We appreciate Bischoff’s contributions," Rawlings said.
A proposal for graduate studies in communications at UM is now before the Council of Arts and Sciences.
When Wingfield was reached for comment his response was, “It’s a matter of record. You are welcome to examine her (Bischoff’s) records.”
Even with the unanimous support of the communications department and various faculty members and
students (and some 130 letters). Bischoff has been fighting a losing battle with the administration
Bischoff has been associated with the University for almost 30 years — as a student, administrator, faculty member and alumnus. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications and her masters in drama, where she was also cited as an honor student.
Copies of Bischoff's masters thesis are on file in the Richter Library and in the Broadcast Pioneers Library National Association of Broadcasters in Wasnington, D.C.
She has just authored a book

Pearson Bust Scores 750 Quaaludes
By LORI BARR1ST
N»ws Editor
Approximately 750 quaaludes valued at $3750 were seized in a drug bust in Pearson Hall last Friday.
Public Safety responded to the call from Mahoney/Pearson Complex Director Kevin Keltz who found the drugs in an administrative search.
“We received information from a reliable source that a significant number of drugs were in the room. So we went up to the room. When we found the drugs, I called Public Safety because I wanted back-up from them," Keltz said
According to Keltz, this is only the second administrative search in the dorm this semester. Both were in the last three weeks.
In the first administrative search (also on the sixth floor), 50 hits of

-------—---------
LSD along with a small quantity of amphetamines, marijuana, hashish, and drug paraphenalia were recovered.
Joseph Frechette, director of Public Safety, said the quaaludes found Friday were in several plastic bags in a gym bag.
Arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance were both residents of Pearson room 6633, Lorine Murray and Marcie Sellers.
Also arrested was sixth floor resident Dean Goldgar who had been implicated in the April 2 administrative search. It was in Goldgar's room that the 50 hits of LSD and other drugs were found. However, he was not arrested at that time because he tied before Public Safety and residence halls officials started the search.
According to Ke*tz. Goldgar returned to the dorm a few days after that search and had been keeping a
“low profile. He was around: he just wasn’t visible. When we found him. we terminated him from the residence halls.”
According to Frechette, the gym bag with the quaaludes also contained Goldgar's passport and a note with instuctions stating that the property should be held for Goldgar.
Goldgar was found off campus and arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
Frechette said that Public Safety has been getting more drug 'tips' lately tfian in the past. “We’re getting into it more now. Students have been passing on good stuff (tips) to us lately. They're probably sick of the effects of the drugs."
However, he said that there is no concentrated effort to stop drug use at UM. “We don't have enough guys (police officers) to zero in on drugs.”
Keltz said that there is a definite increase in the use of quaaludes this year. “But there's no real increase in the number of administrative searches. Last year they just weren’t publicized as much."
The complex director said that Pearson six and Mahoney five have not been singled out "drug floors."
“All floors have drugs: it’s just that some floors are getting caught," Keltz said.

On Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Henry King Stanford celebrated, not only his 64 birthday, but his re-tlecton as UM President.
In a four-hour meeting of the Board of Trustees Tuesday morning, Stanford was unanimously reelected and was met with a standing ovation and strong emotional support by the trustees, according to James W. Mcl.amore, chairman of the Board
Trustees voted 26-14 to accept the Search Committee’s recommendation to end Provost Clyde Wingfield’s candidacy for president Mi-Lamoif reported that Wingfield supports the re-election of Stanford and that he has withdrawn his name as a presidential candidate
McLamore announced that Stanford will serve as president until the next annual meeting of the Board that will be held March 27, 1981. He said that a new presidential search committee will be appointed, and that the responsibilities of that committee will be defined at a future meeting of the board of trustees.
The process of selecting a successor to Stanford began in September 1978, and according to a source, the position will be re-posted this summer.
The Hurricane learned that two of the candidates being considered
withdrew their names during the past few weeks and other candidates were not widely acceptable to members of the committee.
Stanford accepted the recommendation from the trustees Tuesday to remain at the University one more year. He was met with a party set up in the President's board room, where he celebrated — wearing his birthday gifts of overalls and a cowboy hat.
The University was anticipating that Stanford would leave UM and live in Americus, Georgia, where he had planned to reside.
Wingfield, one of the candidates, has been Provost at I'M for the past four years, and raid Tuesday that h< was disappointed but will remain as provost and help Stanford run the University Wingfield will not submit his name again when trustees begin a new search for president.
Some trustees said, according to the Miami Herald, that Wingfield didn't get the presidency because he wanted it too much.
Wingfield said that he did not purposely create friends and enemies on campus. In the course of administering an institution as large as this is, he said, actions invariably create some opposition.
The Herald said that some members of the trustees' search committee — Charles Cobb. Stuart Patton, Patrick Cesarano. James McLamore

Manv long nights were spent in an office on the second floor in the Student Union - trying to figure out the best strategy for a tuition battle - the only battle Paul Novack couldn't win as USBG President

kept the University jumping throughout the year
“When I first became president. I was excited, confident, sort of like the captain taking command of a starship. We worked so close together, we became like a crew because so many things we have to do together," Novack said.
"I knew there were a lot of changes to make and I had to be a strong leader. I also knew that the student body is always the underdog because we are not the ones with the money, budget, or political power. But, I felt students were the most important element in the University,” he said
Although student government were the “underdogs," it’s now past tense. USBG's success was a result of strong leadership - and that led them to win every battle, but tuition. “We won everything and took on more issues than any other USBG and prevailed on each, but tuition.”
“I think the reason we won is that we’ve been logical and reasonable and have the University’s best interest in mind, but we've also been assertive and even agressive when we had to be," Novack said
“I am proud of the many students who have worked full time so we could be that successful," he said.
Although Novack was assertive at meetings -gained the respect of the University community - he also dealt with students on a day-to-day basis and spent many nights trying to improve the students' life on campus.
“The pressure is extreme because I've tried to be loyal as can be to student government and students. There was always pressure from students, faculty, trustees, and administrators who liked' to see me be much quieter and less assertive than I am," he said
But. Novack had no intentions of letting anyone intimidate him. “I hate to lose to wrong or evil; the only thing we lost and I feel was wrong was tuition.”
This past Tuesday, Novack officially went back to

A	Newspaper Man reaches
17 Years Of Herald M ork
By JANE L. MARCUS
Editor-In-Chief
It was the year 1950 and the Miami Herald just hired a man to start writing the obituaries. And over the next 17 years he worked on the police beat, as assistant city editor, as Latin American editor, as travel editor, as a foreign correspondent in over 30 countries, and as a reporter.
George Southworth covered revolutions, followed Richard Nixon (when he was \1ce president) for one month in South America, and worked with state heads. He said dealing with heads of state was "probably the most interesting" because it gives you an edge you wouldn't ordinary have.
Southworth has taught News Reporting. Ethics of Journalism, and History of Journalism at UM for the past 12 years. And for 12 years, the Hurricane has been advised by Southworth.
Today, he still teaches at the University. The only thing missing from his life is the Miami Herald
“The pace is much faster at a newspaper, and the University is more relaxed If I could do it all over. I'd still be a newspaper man. But, there comes a time when you want to slow down,” he said
Southworth w'as inspired to become a journalist in a most interesting way.
“When I was an undergraduate studying Latin American Affairs, I received the first degree ever awarded by Northwestern I spent two to three years with the state department and saw all these foreign correspondents with these big expense accounts. I thought it was nice. So, I went back to school and got my masters in Journalism," said Southworth.
He starting teaching here part-time in 1952. but "until I had to travel, I had to quit my teaching But, I’ve been full-time for the last 12 years."
In teaching his classes. "I used the same type of stories I used when I was a reporter " He said that students learn more when they can do the stories that a reporter learns to do
“I left (the Herald) for two reasons First, to spend more time with my family. 1 have a son and daughter And second, are the fringe benefits — your children can attend without paying and both of my children attended UM." Southworth said
Southworth. who has devoted his life to newspaper
work, said that if he could do it all over again. “I would try to do it better," only because "you can always improve a little bit.”
In relating newspapers today as they were years ago, he said that the biggest changes today are in technical aspects, automation, the Video Display Terminals, and their off-set printing. "But, 1 don’t feel there's been that great a change in writing The language has changed and the people's lifestyles have changed."
