$400 Million
By SANDRA JARAMILLO
Hurricane Paste-up editor
A five-year plan to raise $400 million for the University of Miami will be officially announced tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. at Gusman Hall.
According to Cyrus Jollivette, vice pre sident of Development Af-' iirs. The Campaign for UM is “the most anbitious plan announced in le 59-year history of the University."
Planners are very optimistic that contributions from alumni and pporters will enable $150 million to be added to the University’s en-iwment, $125 million to new facilities and equipment, and $125 million current operations.
The capital campaign was shaped around a strategic plan whose entual goal is to move UM into the ranks of the nation's most highly -pected teaching and research universities. This will be done by build-the quality of the faculty and students, offering students a curricula balanced between liberal arts and professional education and capi-t.i izing on the university’s geographic setting
Under the leadership of UM Board of Trustees Chairman James W. M Lamore, the plan took 18 months to develop, with the assistance of
Contributions from alumni and supporters will enable $150 million to be added to the University’s endowment, $125 million to new facilities and equipment, and $125 million to current operations.____________________
Board of Trustee members Stanley H. Arkin, David Blumberg, Melvin N Greenberg, and Neil Schiff; Edward F. Swensen, trustee emeritus; Bernard J. Fogel, dean of the School of Medicine; and UM President Edward T. Foote II.
Campaign goals were authorized by the Board of Trustees Nov. 1.
Of the $150 million in endowment money, which is money invested to provide long-term, secure operating income for the University, about $75 million would go to endow faculty positions. $50 million to student financial aid and $25 million to support the library and basic and applied research.
Part of the money for new facilities may be used to convert the present residence hall system into a residential college system, like the ones at Yale and Rice University and similar to the Honors College on campus.
Other priorities include a physical and geological science building, library additions, music school studies, research buildings for the School of Medicine, a convocation center and an addition to the College of Engineering.
Prior to this campaign, UM was successful in reaching and surpassing its goal of $129 million in another five-year campaign period ending in 1981 — a total of $135.6 million was raised then
According to Foote, “A great university must educate in a manner that strengthens not only its students but the communities in which they live and work The Campaign for the UM is one agenda for action in this moment of history ."

University of Miami students and faculty will have the opportunity to purchase records at discounted. beiow-retail prices next semester thanks to a record cooperative sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Body Government.
A USBG bill passed in mid-November allocated funds for the non-profit record co-op, which will permit "a real savings in the amount of money students spend on record purchases.” said USBG Senator Izhar Haq, director of the project.
Students will realize a savings of up to 40 percent, Haq said.
Jerry Baskins, owner of a wholesale record outlet, will provide the records to USBG on consignment — USBG will pay Baskins for the records from the revenues it receives.
A selection of records chosen from the top 10 records of the country, soul, rock, and pop charts will be available in the Breezeway every Wednesday from 11 a m. to 2 p.m.
Some of the musical groups to be considered for the co-op include Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jack-son, Lionel Richie, The Fixx, WHAM, Chicago, Chaka Khan, and Shannon.
If students wish to make requests for different types of music: they may make special orders, and, if the co-op proves successful, the number of musical selections will increase.
Surveys will be conducted to determine studrre body musical
preferences, and .ho size of the record stock needed to satisfy student demand ff demand favors, cassettes will be added to the stock.

On Nov. 1, Dr. John P. Russo was elected president of the University of Miami Delta chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, a distinguished nationwide honorary society.

struction available for grammar and reading exercises.
Costs for the program run $1,400 plus living expenses. Books are not included in the price, and prior to registering for the course, a student must show evidence of a United States bank account with sufficient funds to cover expenses for the semester. “This is to ensure a student isn’t stranded here without enough money,” O'Toole explained.
The overall attrition rate for IEP is less than two percent and those who do withdraw usually do so for non-academic problems.
“A few students are dropped for non-attendance of classes, but not until they have been sufficiently warned," said O’Toole
The reason for the low attrition rate is that the students who participate are usually very pleased with the program.
Selvin R. Paz and Antoine Olivi are two such participants. Paz, from Honduras, is nearing completion of the program, having entered it without knowing any English.
He is now quite fluent and plans to attend UM upon completion of the program "I love the program," Paz said. "It's not boring, and that is very important.
“The only students who find fault with the program are those who do not study," added Paz, currently the IEP representative to the Council of International Student Organizations

The Intensive English Program at the University of Miami experienced a drop in enrollment due to an economic slump in South America, said IEP Assistant Director Dennis O'Toole.
Latins make up 40 percent of the IEP enrollment, said O’Toole, but scholarships to Latins are no longer readily available and South American students are having problems getting money.

This: semester, there are 184 students enrolled from 50 different countries The highest concentration olr students are from Columbia. Jlapan, Saudi Arabia and Spain However, smaller countries like Oman, Singapore and Yemen are also represented.
Students come to UM’s IEP mainly to learn English faster, O’Toole said. Most plan to further their .education at an American university when they finish the program, but the majority stay at UM.
Club, the author of Cyprus said that t-he dispute was misunderstood — the Cypriots had been unfairly blamed for events resulting in "ir ass killing, deportation, expulsion, and the imposition of partition."

The IEP has been on campus continually since 1952 when it was developed because of an obvious need in the community. “When this program was first established, only a handful of Latins were enrolled," said O'Toole.
A student in IEP registers and takes a placement test to determine their level of English proficiency and then is placed in either Basic Level, Elementary Level, Intermediate Level, or Advanced Level English.
Each level of study takes one semester to complete, and a “C" average is required for advancement to the next level. Students who wish to study at UM after the IEP must finish the advanced level
Students must also pass the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) with a score of 550.
Students attend classes, held in Allen Hall, every day for five hours. Their studies include one class each in reading, writing, listening and speaking, grammar and language lab.
Individual classes are balanced to provide a mixed language background in every class as well as a balanced male to female ratio, which is new to some students because the country from which they come does not mix sexes at school. To give each student maximum attention, classes are made up of no more than 15 students.
The IEP has videotaping capabilities. Every semester, each listening and speaking class is videotaped and shown to the students There is also computer-assisted in-
