Schnellenberger said the rest of the team was not informed until Monday, the day before the official release by the University
The University was not appealing the committee's findings because "we wanted to put this thing behind us and start afresh," Foote told reporters at a press conference Tuesday.
UM was informed of the infraction committee's ruling and was given 15 days in which to appeal the ruling, Foote said at the conference.
fie admitted that "the fact that we would be playing the No. 1 team in the nation was not lost upon us

Foote ’s Flans: Reorganize Ami Reassess

Reorganization of his administra-tion and reassessment of the way the University of Miami functions are among the top priorities this year of UM President Edward T Foote II
In an exclusive Interview with the Miami Hurricane, Foote spoke of the changes he has made and the choices he must make in the near future
In the immediate future, l oote is pointing towards his inauguration on December 4 While he did nol originally support the idea of an Inauguration, saying he found the whole prospect "embarrassing, he was convinced that it would he good for the University.
"It is good for the University to pause on important occassions." he said, "and 1 hope a new presidency is an important occasion — to participate both in the ceremony and in the re-examination of the institution that a formal ceremony can provide "
Until his inauguration. Foote said, he will be trying to think through where UM has been, where it is now, and where it ought to be going
Foote's changes so far include placing all academic areas of the University under the jurisdiction of the provost
Stated Foote: "The decisions were made to make the best use of everyone's time The reorganization will make the decisions as efficiently made as possible, as wise as possible. as well informed as possible — to have the right people talking to the right people before decisions are made "
Foote said he feels that streamlin-his administration will save
eng
money by allowing the
Univeristv
to spend as little as possible on administration and as much as possible on teaching and research
In addition, by placing all of the planning, units under the provost's jurisdiction, he hopes to facilitate better planning and the setting of priorities.
Better planning for students was Foote's primary reason for his most controversial move, the shift of Student Affairs under the Provost. That means William Ft. Butler, vice president for Student Affairs — who previously reported directly to the president — must now report to Clarence G. Stuckwisch, the acting provost
The move was made. Foote said, "so that you don't have a series of decisions affecting the academic side of the student's life made up one chain of command, and a series of decisions affecting the extracurricular side made up another chain of command, without the several decisions being put together and weighed against each other "
While Foote remains committed to academics us the primary goal of the university, he said that he is also here to make UM as pleasant and fun for its students as possible
As for his Student Affairs decision, which has led student leaders fo believe that he was demoting the importance of Student Affairs, Foote said: "I do not consider student well-being a stepchild, and that decision should not be understood to imply that at all "
In addition to reorganizing his existing administration, UM is also searching for a new provost and several deans' positions
"Those appointments are extremely important." Foote said, "especially the provost, because he plays a key role in virtually every major decision. He will he my right hand and |ho| will be the sen-
ior academic officer the entire institution."

Foote said he is looking for a provost who will want to accept a great deal of responsibility, since Foote's reorganization gives more responsibility to the provost position.
Foote is very involved in the search for the provost, and will become increasingly involved in the searches for the deans when the number of candidates is narrowed down.
While there are currently no students on any of the search committees for the provost or the deans, Foote said that he would be glad to get students involved in the search process, although he said he is not yet sure of the best way to do that

• In accordance with the show cause provision" of tile NCAA pen alty structure, the University of Miami must reprimand an assistant football coach for his lack of candor in determining the facts related to a finding of violation
"A private reprimand has been given and a private reprimand has been accepted," Foote saul lie declined to identify the reprimanded coach, saying, "I do not believe the name is important "
The limitation on the number of scholarships will negate any unlair advantage the University may have incurred through the illegal prac ticcs, the committee ruled
The NCAA investigation started a month after Schnellenberger was appointed head coach, according to Athletic Director Harry Mallios Foote expressed his disappointment at the timing of the NCAA sanctions
"It is unfortunate that so exciting a football season is interrupted mid-stream by this announcement."

To Consult Student
By JEAN CLAUDE de la FRANCE
Head News Writer
A week after UM President Edward T. Foote II reshaped the power structure of the University, student leaders have expressed concerns that these changes may rob them of whatever influence they have on the administration.
In a statement issued by the President's office, Foote said that he was strenghtening the position of provost because he felt that too many offices were reporting directly to the president.
His move to assign the Student Affairs Division to report to the University Provost has drawn the sharpest criticism from student leaders on this campus.
"I think it is going to hurt the students," said .loy Hodges, vice president of Undergraduate Student

Body Government (USBG). "The vice president reporting directly to the president has alway been good link for the students. In making him report to the provost, Mr Foote is weakening that link "
Students have said that making Vice President for Student Affairs William Butler report to acting Provost Clarence Stuckwisch alienates extracurricular activities and lessens the importance of the Student Affairs division
"He |Foote| is not looking at our needs like we want him to," Hodges said "He is putting the students off as if we are not that important "
UM Advertising	Ma
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ

The Communications and Marketing departments are presently combining their efforts in exploring the possibility of offering advertising as a major at the University of Miami.
Although no definite decisions have been made yet, a committee consisting of professors from both departments has been formed
"We are investigating the potential benefits of a major in advertising on this campus, said Communications Professor Donald Vance, who is a member of the committee
According to Vance, fhe committee is still examining such considerations as the nature of
the major, where the major would be housed (either in Communications or Marketing), and what will be the source of funding.
Professors in certain communication and marketing classes have been surveying their students in order to find out if enough students are interested in such a major
“it was an off-the wall survey." said Acting Communications Chairman David Gordon
"We conducted it because we suspect that many of the public relations majors are people' who are interested in advertising "
Gordon also stated that the two departments have reason to believe that many students interested in advertising go to other universities because UM does not offer an advertising major.
"Presently, the heaviest growth area in journalism is public relations and advertising," said Gordon. ''Right now, we’re in the stage where we're trying to decide if there is a big enough market, so we can offer it
"We haven’t come to any concrete decisions yet We don't even know if the faculty of the two departments would like to do anything like this, since it hasn't been put up for considera tton."
As of now. the Comunications department does not give any classes in advertising The Marketing department offers one advertising class geared toward marketing
If an advertising major is given it is like Iv that UM will hire more professors. (Jordon said
Foote told the Miami Hurricane in an interview that his intentions were misread
“I do not consider student wellbeing a stepchild, and that decision should not be understood to imply that at all," he said.
"1 am here committed to a topflight academic institution . But I'm also here to do everything within my power to make this a pleasant place, a humane place, a fun place."
He said that there were several advantages to the move, such as freeing more of his time for concentrating on more important issues "The decision were made to make the best use of everyone's time, not just my time." he said
Decisions affecting student affairs, Foote said, will he made efficiently by informed people who work together.
“We now have planning being done in various places around the University," he said, "and all of those things ought to fit together by pulling all the planning units together under the provost ."
in another memorandum, the president Informed members of the University community that he had disbanded the budget committee that drew up the University's budget. Student leaders expressed anger, saying they fought hard a couple of years ago to earn the right to sit on that committee
The new budget process, chaired by Stuckwisch. does not provide for a student representative Students have said that signals an era wherp they will have no say-so in what goes on.
They have cited that although Foote has chosen search committees to look for four deans and a permanent provost, no student sits on any one of these committees
But Foote said he believes that student leaders ought to be consulted “shout things that affect them directly, and their opinion should be taken extremely seriously. I think consultation with students at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way is healthy for a University,” he said.
Foote said problems of continuity made it impractical to appoint a student to the search committees.
One of the main reasons for not putting a student on the budget committee, he said, was because he was told that students had to sit uninterested through the entire budgeting process, in which the committee considered Issues which did not affect the students.
He vowed that the budget process will not be secret, and that students will he informally consulted
Hodges said she thinks Foote is wrong in thinking that students are not interested in certain aspects of the budget
"Basically, the money the students pay run the school and they should have a say on how the money is spent," she said.
Disbanding the budget committee was also a mistake, Hodges said. "The committee drew a lot of people from every section, and there was an answ er to Just about everything The new system is much more informal and less structured; therefore, there is more room for error "
She also said that leaving Foote to decide when would be "the appropriate time" to consult with students leaves too much to the discretion of the president.
Foote said that students may be putting more faith in committees than he does He said he has already taken steps to meet regularly with student leaders and hear their views and suggkstions
