The searches for new deans of the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Continuing Studies are near completion.
“By the end of next week, in both cases, all the candidates will have been interviewed," said Provost William F. Lee. "Before the end of the month, we'll be able to announce a decision.”
Two other searches, for the dean of the new School of Communication and the dean and vice president of research for the Graduate School, are in progress.
In the next two weeks, a search committee may be commissioned for a dean of the School of Nursing, according to Lee.
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
Last spring, a 10-member committee, a consultative committee, and various subcommittees began the search for a new dean of the University's largest undergraduate school.
The pool of applications was narrowed to five candidates, four of whom have already been interviewed. The fifth will come to campus

next week.
“I would hope that the committee would have the recommendation shortly in the hands of the provost,” said Claude R. Sowle, dean of the School of Law and chairman of the search committee.
Current dean of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Arthur W. Brown, is leaving the position to return to teaching.
Dean of the School of Continuing Studies
The search committee for the dean of Continuing Studies began its search early last summer and has turned in a list of four candidates to Lee for a decision.
“The committee has been able to move expeditiously,” said Brown, chairman of the search committee.
Brown expects the decision within the next two weeks.
The interim dean of Continuing Studies is Dr. J. Calvin Leonard.
Dean of the School of Communication
The search began in January for a dean of the newly-instituted School of Communication, effective June 1, 1985. Dean William Hipp of the School of Music chairs the committee of communication faculty,
other faculty members, and non-faculty.
According to communication professor Donald Vance, chairman of the consultative committee, Hipp has been soliciting nominations and advertising in scholarly journals for applications. The deadline for applications is some time in early March, Vance said.
The committee expects to have a dean chosen by the beginning of the 1985-86 school year.
Dean of the Graduate School
Weekly meetings are being held to narrow down the field of candidates for the position of vice president for research and dean of the graduate school.
A seven-member committee of faculty members from UM’s undergraduate school, chaired by Dean of the School of Business Administration Jack R. Borsting, began its search in September.
According to Rosemary Helenbrook, coordinating assistant to Borsting, the committee plans to bring candidates to campus for interviews in March or April.
Dr. David L. Wilson is the interim dean.
Marty talks on religion
By ODALIS RODRIGUEZ
Hurricane Staff Writer
The University should serve as a forum for discussion on religious issues, according to Martin E. Marty, distinguished visiting professor for the department of religion.
In his Monday night lecture, "Zones of Combat and Concord: Religion, the University, and American Public Life," Marty illustrated the disparity between the “quiet," private worship that 100 million Americans practice each weekend and the "combat zone” religious news that is ever present in the media.
Using recent newspaper clippings, Marty pointed out heated events in several countries, including El Salvador, Israel, Iran, Indonesia, and India, which dealt with religious concerns.
The religious dimension of American public life, according to Marty, is readily evident in news items such as the pro-life movement, the disenchantment among Americans with secular schools, and issues of the presidential campaign.
“More people in the United States practice religion than in any other industrialized nation,” he said. "We are a Lebanon without guns, only we are so dispersed we wouldn't know where to point.”
While religion Is becoming more aggressive and assertive, the role of the university, said Marty, has changed a great deal from the days in which "locking the dean in his office” was used to protest the war In Vietnam.
"In the '60s, the university was the combat zone, and religion was the quiet zone," he said. However, in keeping with the notion that this is now a "secular, post-religious" age, Marty said that universities tend to not deal with thereligious issues which are at the heart of much controversy.
"Professors say, ‘There is too much religious combat, but let’s not talk about it,’ " he said.
Civil or public religion, said Marty, brings together symbols which allow individuals to "transcend the immediate moment of politics to reach for what they have in common.”

Financial aid funds to rise with tuition
By AHMED SHOREIBAH
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
Despite the record 11.9 percent tuition increases and the concomitant room and board hikes for the next academic year. University of Miami financial aid administrators expect retention levels to remain the same as those of the current year.
According to Ernest Smith, director of Financial Assistance Services, the effects from the rise in tuition should be mitigated, in part, by a $3 million increase in the financial aid provided by the University.
Also, financial aid student contact coordinator Michael Wernon said that increased UM college costs should result in a greater need figure in the standard financial aid analysis and this, in turn, should result in a greater financial aid award, provided a given family’s financial condition remains constant.
Wernon further contended that money is not the determining factor for most students when deciding whether to attend a particular college or university.
Moreover, Smith pointed out that recent Reagan administration proposals have little chance of gaining congressional approval, saying that "what is proposed is not law."
Smith conceded, however, that if these proposals were enacted, they would have “a major impact.” He also noted that they would not go into effect until 1986 and that students should go ahead and apply for guaranteed student loans for next year even if their families have an annual income greater than the $32,500 upper limit proposed by the Reagan administration for GSL eligibility.
Furthermore, according to Wernon, UM would be less affected by these proposals than other institutions because of its diversified
sources of aid money.
Yet, while University aid funds will be increased, there is no assurance that state programs will be similarly increased; one major program, the Florida Student Assistance Grant, has already been set at this year’s level of $1200 for next year by the state, said Wernon.
Students can discuss tuition
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ
Hurricane Editor in Chief
Students will be able to ask questions on the $830 tuition increase and the University of Miami budget at a general student body meeting this Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the International Lounge of the Student Union.
The meeting was organized by the Undergraduate Student Body Government. Several administrators will be on hand to answer questions.
Said USBG President Scott Kornspan: "It is vitally important that every student that feels the need to find out or voice their opinions about the tuition increase attend this general student body meeting If everyone's voices aren’t heard, then we as students will not receive everything we desire.
"This meeting is a time to say 'can we talk now?' If the answer is yes, we should all feel the need to make this meeting mandatory for ourselves.
Conference held on Middle East

“History will judge who was right and who was wrong," said Dr. Meir Rosenne, Israeli ambassador to the United States, regarding the current Mideast situation.
Rosenne's address was the highlight of a conference sponsored by the Graduate School of International Studies, the North-South Center, and the Middle East Studies Program, entitled "U.S. Policy in the Middle East: Balancing Opportunities and Risks.” The conference was held in Brockway Hall Tuesday and Wednesday.
Rosenne spoke of the Camp David peace process, Initiated by the late Egyptian president Anwar el-Sadat, and currently described as a “cold peace" by Egyptian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Butros Ghali.

He also condemned the Egyptian press for praising PLO leader Yassir Arafat and denounced the United Nations and the European community for what he perceived to be a pro-Arab bias on their part.
And, while expressing gratitude to former U.S. president Jimmy-Carter for his efforts in the Camp David negotiations, Rosenne denied Carter's claim, made in his memoirs, that the Israelis agreed to any kind of freeze on its settlements in the West Bank.

A proposal to transfer the department of politics and public affairs from the School of Business Administration to the College of Arts and Sciences is being considered.
On Nov. 19, 1984, the College Council passed a resolution which proposed to establish a department of political science within Arts and Sciences. In addition, PPA would not be approved as a major in the School of Business.
The PPA department has been in the School of Business since former University of Miami President Bowman Ashe delegated it as a department within the University in 1929.
The decision to associate political science with Arts and Sciences was not abrupt. Said Arthur Brown, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences: ' Since 1977, the School of Arts and Sciences has been discussing the establishment of -i departm nt of political science
The proponents of the proposal cited "academic soundness and student interest" as the reasons for attempting to establish the department within Arts and Sciences.
Snecifically, the council pointed
out that political science is one of the social science disciplines and should be located organizationally with the other social sciences.
The College Council also added that "political science offerings can augment the college's existing program in such departments as history and sociology, improve our interdisciplinary programs in Lat-in-American studies, Caribbean and Afro-American and Judaic studies, and allow us to create new interdisciplinary programs such as undergraduate international studies."
The demographics serves as the major issue in the proposal. Seventy-six percent of the students who take PPA upper-level classes are from Arts and Sciences; 36 percent of all students enrolled in PPA classes are from Arts and Sciences.
All business majors are required to take PPA 211 and 212 Also, there are many upper-division and graduate courses in public affairs, which is distinct from political science.
“The bottom line is student welfare, and most students studying political science are from Arts and Sciences,” said Brown.
Even with the multitude of evidence demanding a change, the PPA department wants to remain
in the School of Business.
The chairman of the PPA department, Dr. Edward Sofen, felt that there was no reason to transfer the department, pointing out that the PPA department has been in the School of Business since the University’s inception
Arts and Sciences doesn't need yet another department, Sofen also said.
On Feb. 14, the resolution will be presented to theAcademic Planning Council, the first in a long line of panels which must pass the resolution in order for it to be realized.
II) policy relaxed
The Undergraduate Student Body Government has — in cooperation with the Otto Richter Library and the Rathskeller — been able to relax the ID entry requirement into these twoloca-tions until Feb. 15 for students holding a valid ID for the fall semester. Feb. 15 is the date on which all students must have completed registration.
