Weekend In L.A VHinisiTt e JAN2 9 1982 lllixKr vi -See Entertainment Page 6 USBG Proposes Eight Week Drop Date The other change included a new way of determining the credits and grade point average of a student who repeats a course. According to Armando Rodriguez, speaker of the senate, the repeat policy will be dealt with by USBG at some later time. At the Senate meeting, the sentiments of most of the senators were that it was necessary for the bill to be passed as soon as possible. This had to be done, they said, in order to discuss the issue with the administration before it became too late to do anything about it. Only one senator, Laura Amaro. disagreed with the concept of changing the drop date to eight weeks. She said that students "are paying a lot of money to attend this university, and should take classes and get them over with," rather than repeat classes time and again. Most senators, though, agreed that four weeks were just too short a time for students to decide whether or not they should complete the course. The bill's co-author Carlos Llo-rente said that while he agreed with the Faculty Senate that the new policy may be better for superior students, it was not the optimum policy for the average student at the University of Miami. Members of the Senate checked to see what the drop date was at other universities. The bill says the comparison was made with schools that "the University of Miami compares itself with in academic quality." Of the 10 schools surveyed, only one, American University, has a drop date of four weeks after classes start. They allow students, though, to change their status in the class to an audit at that point. The other nine universities — Washington, Syracuse, Duke, Northeastern. Tulane, Tampa, Southern California, Howard and Northwestern — all have drop dates ranging from six weeks at Duke to 13 weeks at the University of Tampa. The average of all the schools is 8.7 weeks Muliowney supported the idea of changing the drop date to eight weeks. "The idea |behind the adminstra-tion’s proposal! is good.

For the first of a three-part series, see Entertainment page 6. By GEORGE HAJ Assistant News Editor By a nearly unanimous vote of 23-1-1, the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) Senate Wednesday approved a bill recommending that the new university policy concerning drop dates be changed. The bill asks that the administration reconsider its new policy of moving the drop date to four weeks after the start of classes. The university administration had decided to move the drop date from the present 12 weeks after the beginning of the term, to four weeks after the first day of classes. This new policy was proposed by the Faculty Senate last Spring, and would begin in the Fall of 1982. The USBG Senate recommendation would have “the last day to withdraw from a course with a grade of 'W' be moved to eight weeks after the first day of classes." The bill now goes to USBG President Bill Muliowney for his approval Muliowney has already indicated that he will approve it. After that, it goes to the Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. William Butler. Butler then has 30 days to respond to USBG. USBG moved to recommend the change after the Hurricane article on January 22 revealed that administrators were ready to implement the new drop date policy, along with another policy change. Curios Llórente \nd Drop Date Proposal against dropping it from 12 weeks to four. It is too much of a radical change. “Move it from 12 weeks to eight weeks and then look at it and review it. Then, at some later point, let it go down to four weeks," said Muliowney. "This change is especially bad for international students," said Muliowney. “They are just getting used to a new culture and a new language. It is unreasonable to ask them to make a decision about dropping a course just as they are getting settled in." F'or that reason. Muliowney said. International Student Services has expressed their displeasure with the new drop date. There was much discussion in the Senate meeting about the wording of the bill itself, and three unsubstantiated clauses in it were removed. The bill reflects the feelings of most senators, but many wished Miami lllirricane/MARK CHE.SK/N Mur\ Oslrmskt \tithorcd that they had not been rushed. Senator Mitch Levy said, however, that “we have to get moving now I agree with most of the bill, and the nitpicking that is going on is uncalled for." One senator cautioned right before the vote, that "if we send a proposal to the administration that is not good, they will throw it out." That senator, however, voted for the bill. President Foote said Wednesday afternoon that he knew little about that drop date policy "As far as I know.” Foote said, “the decision has been made " However, he said that he would still consider any recommendation from USBG The change in drop date was originally proposed by the Faculty Senate last Spring, and according to Muliowney, Foote approved it at that time. USBG has been protesting the issue ever since Former Ohio U President Named Law School Dean By GEORGE HAJ Assistant News Editor Claude R. Sowle, former president of Ohio University, was named Dean of the University of Miami Law School Wednesday. The UM Board of Trustees unanimously approved the appointment by President Edward T. Foote at their meeting. President Foote said that Sowle is an outstanding man who “is one of the most respected and experienced legal educators in the country. "He will be an outstanding dean, and the University of Miami is fortunate indeed that he is willing to join our institution." Sowle earned both his Bachelor of Science and Juris Doctor from Northwestern University. Admitted to the Illinois Bar, he worked for a Chicago law firm for two years before he began his teaching career at Northwestern in 1958. While there. Dr. Sowje was associate director of the criminal law program, assistant dean and then associate dean. He left Northwestern in 1965 to accept the position as Dean of the College of Law at the University of. Cincinnati where he briefly held a dual appointment as acting vice president for academic affairs. In 1969 he was named president of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and held that post until he resigned in 1974 to join the law faculty at Ohio State. J Claud«' It. Som lc According to Wednesday's Miami Herald. Sowle resigned that post because of several violent incidents between himself and some of the Ohio University students. No one in the UM administration, though, seemed to have any qualms over approving Sowle for the dean’s post According to Law Professor Richard Hausler, who has been on the law dean search committee from its inception two and a half years ago, the screening com- mittee was extremely pleased with Sowle from the beginning. “One of the things we were looking for,” Hausler said, “was a man with administrative ability. Sowle is perfect as a dean who understands the administrator’s point of view, and could deal well with the top echelon of the university administration. "Because he was the president of a university himself, he was a particularly attractive candidate." President Foote agreed about the quality of Sowle. “He received the strongest kind of recommendation from the search committee. I have never heard a better recommendation in my years in higher education." Sowle will replace Soia Mentsch-ikoff, who is retiring from the dean’s post in May. Mentschikoff has been dean of the law school for eight years. An expert on commercial law, she came to UM from the University of Chicago In addition to Sowle. his wife, Kathyrn Sharp Dix, will also join the UM law faculty as a full-time professor. “They are happily married, and we considered ¡their appointment! together," President Foote said about the joint appointment. Foote said that the searches for the other deans’ positions and the provost search are coming along right on schedule, with some searches further along than others.

New Meal Plan Initiated By MARY CRONIN Head News Writer The Residence Halls Central Coordinating Committee (RHCCC) has recently instituted more changes in both the cafeterias and dormitories in order to improve campus life. The most important of these changes is a new meal plan policy, called Vali-dine Series Five, to be instituted in the fall for upperclassmen. Meal tickets will be used like credit cards for the experimental program at the Hurricane and Ibis cafeterias, said RHCCC member Ken Lise. Students, he said, will have meal plan accounts with various amounts of money (whatever amount the student wishes to deposit). The Ibis and Hurricane food will be individually priced and students will have the costs credited to their accounts. Lise outlined the benefits of the new Vali-dine system "The prices for the meals will be similar to what the Ibis cafeteria has now There should be an increase in the quality of food since Saga would increase its profits from this; it makes sense to increase quality. "The program," Lise added,"allows you to eat when you want during the day as many times as you want to. You'll be paying for just what you eat. This is good since people on, say, the 20 meal plan often eat just 17 meals,” he said In order to make the program work at least 400 students must sign up per semester, said Gino Scialdone of the RHCCC. The cost to install the Vali-Dine Series F’ive is $30-40,000, but, Scialdone said, UM will be renting the system with the option to buy it at a later date. RHCCC said they also hope to improve the quality of cafeteria food by possibly employing the faculty club chef to train cafeteria cooks. Another possibility, Lise said, is to reopen the faculty club to students on certain nights, “in order to have a restaurant on campus for students.” Two years ago the faculty club was open to students, but RHCCC members said a lack of V___________________________________ publicity was the reason for closing the faculty club to them. Meal cards could be used as partial credit toward payment for faculty club meals, Scialdone said. Last semester RHCCC obtained an extra half-hour extension for breakfast and an extra 15-minute extension for dinner in the cafeterias, as well as obtaining replacements for broken soda machines, toasters, and candy machines around campus. Next semester, Scialdone said, RHCCC would like to obtain replacements, if possible, of faulty washing machines and dryers in the dorms. "We don’t know the financial aspect of doing this, so we don’t know how feasible it is," Scialdone said. But for now RHCCC members are attempting to improve service on the washers and dryers, as well as on all of the vending machines. "We took it on our responsibility to monitor the machines and the service has been a bit better,” Lise said. “We want it put in Washbowl's contract (the company which provides and services campus washers and dryers) to have a repairman come every morning and night, and to be on call every day. A 30-day cancellation clause in ail contracts is whal RHCCC members said they use “as leverage to apply pressure,” to such contractors as Washbowl, Canteen (for all vending machines), and Saga. The Saga changes have come about, Lise said, because the five-year contract which Saga possesses has to be renewed every year or two. If an unsatisfactory situation arises, then the contract can go out for bids.
