Hipp Named Dean of School of Music
By ANGELA GREGORY
Hurricane Staff Writer
Continued focusing on the development of innovative programs and strengthening of exisiting weaker programs within the School of Music is the goal of the new dean of the School of Music.
Dr. William Hipp. who was appointed the new dean of the school beginning June 1, has been chairman of the division of music at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas for seven years.
Before being nominated, Hipp was a member of the School of Music’s Visiting Committee and had visited the University of Miami several times.
He will be succeeding Dr. William F. Lee, who held the position for 18 years before he was named provost and executive vice president of the university last June. Dr. Ted Crager held the post on an interim basis.
Both Lee and Hipp were students at the University of Texas where they met and became good friends.
“But that didn't influence my appointment as dean. |UM| President [Edward T.| Foote made the final decision, Hipp said.
Upon announcing the appointment. President Foote said, “Dean Hipp is well suited to follow the outstanding leadership provided |to) the School of Music for 18 years by William F. Lee. When Dr. Lee left the dean-ship last summer to become provost and executive vice president, all concerned knew that his would be a hard act to follow.
"Only a few people in music education have the experience and professional and personal qualifications to head such a dynamic, nationally respected school effectively. Dean Hipp is one. We are fortunate indeed and delighted to welcome him to Miami.”
Said Hipp about his goals: “It is estimated that by 1995 the number of 18-year-olds [enrolled in universities! will have declined to such a degree, that It will be necessary to implement specialized recruiting programs and financial programs to attract students.”
He doesn't, however, plan on lowering the existing standards at the School of Music.
"The School of Music at the University of Miami has a national reputation for the quality of its faculty and the several innovative degree programs which were established under the leadership of William Lee.
“The emphasis will continue to be on quality and we have to be able to compete with schools such as Northwestern, which also have excellent music schools. It is a complex operation," he said.
Hipp, an accomplished musician, played principal trumpet with the Bloomington-Normal Symphony Orchestra, the Austin Orchestra, Corpus Christi Symphony and the Dallas Civic Symphony.
He has also had experience as an administrator. Currently, he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Dallas Symphony Association and a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for the Dallas Youth Orchestra.
He has taught at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi, and at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he was director of the School of Music.
His first association with SMU was in 1971-73, when he served as associate chairman of the division of music. He was named chairman of the division in 1976. From 1977-78, he was acting dean of the Meadows School.
In addition, Hipp has been a visiting evaluator at nine public and private institutions throughout the National Association of Schools of Music and for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
He earned his bachelor’s, master's, and doctoral degrees in music education from the University of Texas at Austin. While there, he served a a teaching associate in the department of music and as an administrative assistant to the dean of the College of Fine Arts.
Hipp, 48, is married and the father of five children. He has a daughter currently attending the University of Miami School of Business.
Some of his hobbies include tennis, fishing, and hunting.
Countries need to communicate
Latin America needs integration and breaking down of barriers between countries, but only gets ‘classic lip service,’ says director of ALA

turo Vlllar, director of ALA (a Latin American press agency located in Coral Gables) at a recent lecture.
“Integration and the Press in Latin America" was the topic of the sixth in a series of lectures in celebration of the Bicentennial of Simon Bolivar, which is being presented by the Latin American Studies Program.
Villar, a native of Santander, Spain, was educated in Cuba and later lived in Puerto Rico.
ALA are the initials of the original name of the agency — American Literary Agency. Even though the founder was Spanish, he gave the agency an Anglo name so that it would be respected and so that it would sound North American.
The agency, which was founded in 1948, originally covered only Spain. It wasn't until later that ALA began covering Latin America.
“It succeeded in breaking open a hole where there had been a barrier. It is possibly the only attempt in this century to penetrate that barrier," said Villar.
“There is no integration in Latin America. The dream of Bolivar has not been accomplished, not even remotely,” said Villar. “There have been some intents of economic integration, usually local ones. And these have been of a limited purpose, but then they haven't even accomplished the limited purpose.
“We accept that there has never been and there is not any integration, even though they have a common historic origin and a common culture."
He added that one of the grand hopes of all Latin Americans is integration, but that everyone has just given it the “classic lip service.”
“Therefore, the press, which supposedly should be a reflection of the aspirations of the towns, has not accomplished this," said Villar.
“It is sad, because it reflects that there is no communication between

the newspaper directors, whom have traditionally been the manipulators, in the good sense of the word, of public opinion."
After the several independence movements, each country closed its barriers and didn't communicate — not even economically, although they are so close geographically, according to Villar.
“But even more than economic barriers, there have been barriers of communication,” he said. “There have been some attempts to break this barrier, but none of them have been effective.”
He said that Bolivar was able to publish many of his articles and open letters in various newspapers throughout Latin America, but these were very limited.
He cites ALA as an example of what can be done to transmit the Latin American thought through different newspapers and publications in a continent that has closed itself to other ideas.
Even though the Latin American newspapers receive news through the traditional world agencies (United Press Association, Associated Pre^s, France Press, etc.), this news is from and about countries other than Latin America.
He said that before ALA there had not been many attempts to distribute Latin American news. In the 70’s, seven papers from different Latin American countries founded Latin, which became associated with Reuters.
However, there were several ideological problems between the papers, especially concerning the
editorial policy, which some ernments tried to dictate.

“The result is that there has been very little comprehension between what happens in other countries and why things happen,” said Villar. “That is the least of the problem — integration has been frustrated for so many years because there is no adequate communication.
“Here in the U.S. we understand better what is happening in Latin America than [people| in those countries because the press here has covered Latin America so much until almost reaching the point of causing nausea.
“Here we are being kept informed; here we are debating the problems of a region that is important to us and to the world. This is what has not been present in the Latin American press."
Also not present in Latin American papers is investigative journalism, said Villar.
“This investigative journalism simply does not exist, except for recent exceptions. There is no debate about the problems that affect the society. If this is happening at the national level, what can you expect to happen at the regional level?”
He added that the Latin American papers are not commercially-oriented like North American new-papers, but are ideologically-oriented.

4 Never again,' says Hillel speaker about Holocaust
Robert Sandler
By SALLY SPITZ
Hurricane Associate News Editor
Never again. These words were chanted over and over again last week, during Holocaust Education Week, which also commemorated the 40th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
On Thursday, April 14, Professor Robert Sandler, of the UM English department, spoke at Hillel on a topic which concerns citizens of every nationality: “Could A Holocaust Happen Again?"
Sandler, who had a key role in establishing the Judaic Studies Program at UM, spoke with passion as he cited incidents of Jewish persecution throughout history.
“We must find something positive out of our suffering,” he said.
He posed a very thought-provoking question to a group of elderly citizens and a number of UM students: "Could another Holocaust of a similar magnitude happen again? Could it happen in the U.S.?" Throughout the audience, there were murmurs of "yes."
Anti-semitism is not a new problem in the United States. But whose problem is it? Sandler said that there are many clergymen who state that anti-semitism and the Holocaust is a Christian problem.
“But Jews cannot sit around waiting for Christians to solve the problem of anti-semitism," he said.
Sandler suggested five ways of how another atrocity could be prevented from occuring again.
The first of these was "remembrance.” He said this quality has existed within Judaism since the beginning of time. “Those who do not remember history, are bound to repeat it. If the Jews don't remember, then who will?" Sandler said.
He said that remembering and keeping the thoughts alive are very important since there are many existing pamphlets roaming about which state that the Holocaust never happened.
The second idea was “maintenance of economic and political stability and moderation."
Sandler explained that if people are comfortable, have jobs, and order exists in political and economic situations, then “it is difficult for some madman to whip them up to put neighbors into gas chambers.”
After World War I, Germany was in a deep state of depression. According to Sandler’s theory, it is
during these times of despair when people will grasp at anything. “Inflation is just not an economic issue, but also a moral issue," he said.
He urged the audience to practice moderation in order to keep the economic situation at a stable level.
The third suggestion was “interfaith dialogue for mutual understanding.” He said that Jews, especially in a pluralistic society such as the U.S., must learn to associate with other religions — while at the same time keeping their own identity. Assimilation, he said, can possibly lower the threats of anti-semitism.
His fourth idea was to "resist anti-semitism at its earliest appearance.” Sandler took time here to explain a little historic background concerning the Jews. In the early ages, he said, Jews fought like everybody else. Then, around the Middle Ages, the Jews began to withdraw and gear their attention towards their studies.
Sandler said that this attitude of passivity is changing. People are beginning to realize that God is not going to rebuild Judaism, he said.
“Only human beings will rebuild Jerusalem and destroy anti-semitism," Sandler stressed.“The time when you can kill Jews without getting your hair messed up are over."
His fifth point was a "strong Israel.” Whether or not Jews agree with Israeli policies is not that important, he said. What is important is that "the Jewish people cultivate a nation, a culture, and a religion.
“We here today are privileged to have been alive during the restoration and the establishment of Israel," Sandler said
Sandler added that Jews must also commit themselves to three things: “Never be a perpetrator of the atrocities, never be a victim of the atrocities, and never be a bystander while these atrocities are happening to others."
Although Sandler pointed out that he is not predicting another Holocaust, he stressed that there is no guarantee that it can’t happen again.
Sandler leaned forward on the podium and spoke with strength in his voice as he concluded: “Let us hope that this terrible last time, during 1933-1945, was really the last time and that people will learn to deal with their problems and frustrations in an atmosphere of peace.”

We must halt the arms race and face disarmament. This was Soviet Counselor Alexander Zotov's main message when he spoke at the Learning Center last Wednesday as part of the Nuclear War/Nuclear Peace class.
“If you eat, you are involved with agriculture," said Zotov. “If you are alive, you're involved in disarmament."
Zotov said that it doesn't matter how many times your adversary can be annihilated — it is time to stop the madness.
To this, one man responded: "If both sides now have enough warheads and enough delivery systems to kill each other off many times over, why does the Soviet Union not cease weapons development and let the United States spend itself into economic oblivion?"
‘If you eat, you are involved with agriculture. If you are alive, you’re involved in disarmament.’
Alexander Zotov, Soviet Counselor
Responded Zotov: “If you stand with what you have.” the other side will develop “systems which have more increasing capabilities.” Zotov cautioned that this can be achieved.
“To assure that your defense systems are effective enough, to effectively defend" yourself is utterly important, and is the reason why a unilateral disarmament, or a unilateral “stand-still'' is not desirable, he said.
Zotov used the words “total stand-still” to describe present negotiations between the U.S and
USSR in certain areas, but said be was still hopeful of future Sovi-et-U.S. relations. He believes that “good sense will emerge from the debris of broken expectations."
Though past and present Soviet action, like the recent news about nuclear arms deployment in Nicaragua. made some of the audience doubtful of Soviet intentions, many agreed that if there is to be peace, it will be with the Soviet Union; and if there is devastation, it will also be with the Soviet Union
