The University of Miami's Graduate School over the past five years has seen a growth in degree programs, stable enrollment, a new minority recruitment program and a stronger faculty commitment to research.
But that progress is marked by the lack of a permanent dean, a large increase in tuition, loss of space in the Ferre Building and decentralization of power to individual departments.
The Graduate School at the University of Miami offers master's degrees in 102 areas of study and doctoral degrees in 50.
Three new doctoral programs for sociology, industrial engineering and human and molecular genetics, are in the planning stages, said Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and former Interim dean of the Graduate School David Wilson.
According to current interim dean Sidney Besvinick, more and more graduate students are “given the honor” of making research presentations at professional meetings.
Enrollment has fluctuated from 2,660 In 1980, to 2,160 in 1981 to 2,510 this year, while tuition has Increased from $208 per credit in 1980 to $324 per credit this year.

research UM specializes in — health research," said Besvinick "They've put more money into mission-oriented research such as defense and agriculture.
“We've got to see what we can do to generate more interest in finding sources for funding in different places, and get people who have not been involved in writing proposals for grants in the past to get active and help increase funds for research."
University support for research has increased, however, in the form of 30 summer research awards and research initiation grants for faculty members. Besvinick said.
UM draws about $50 million research dollars per year.
“There's a direct linkup between success of our faculty In generating research support and quality of faculty available for students doing research," Wilson said.
Monitoring those faculty and students Is the responsibility of the Graduate School.

“If a dean of a school admits a student of a caliber we think isn't of proper standards, we can reject him," she said “That’s what a
young graduate school cAadd for a university."	”
But upholding quality is not always an easy task, saidHecker. who deals with such departmental problems as admission of weak students, insufficient resources for their graduate programs and underpaying graduate assistants.
“We’re an administrative arm of the Ashe Building." said Hecker “The School doesn't have its own faculty and it doesn't have a huge budget."
Also, space in the Ferre Building, originally designated solely for the Graduate School, is being given to other University programs; the General Council for the University moved onto the third floor two years ago. and the first floor is designated for the expanded Honors Program
“It isn't as if the Grad School was being moved out — they weren't in there," Wilson said “1 don't think they need more room Space costs."
Hecker disagrees
"I could think of all kinds of things to put in those offices." she said. Among her ideas are offices for graduate student affairs, recruitment and minority affairs, in addition to a computer consultant who would assist students in research.
Esther Sterental. president of the Graduate Student Association, and Jane Whitehead, secretary of GSA, see the movesas a "phasing

Woods tries to dispel apartheid myths
By PATRICK McCREERY
Hurricane Staff Writer
"One person, one vote, will end the fighting," said Donald Woods, exiled South African writer "Anything short of that will escalate into full civil war." In an attempt to raise awareness and dissolve myths aboutapartheid, Woods spoke at the University of Miami Thursday evening at the Ibis cafeteria.
Woods lectured and answered questions about the political, social and economic ramifications of the system and spoke of his life and eventual escape from South Africa , in 1977
Apartheid. Woods said, is "a
Woods
white minority trying to maintain authority over a black majority."
The system is based on 317 racial laws, Woods said, each of which can have over 100 subdivisions that govern all the population, regardless of race.’’from morning to night, cradle to grave."
Although rigidly enforced by the South African government.aportheid appears to be crumbling, said Woods, who credits Bishop Desmond Tutu with bringing attention to the system
‘Because whites have isolated themselves socially and politically, they find themselves in a situation even they don’t understand.’
Donald Woods, exiled S. African
writer
Tutu won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts against discrimination.
South Africa divides its citizens into four groups: whites, coloreds (people of mixed descent), Asians and blacks.Each group is kept as separate as possible.
Woods, a white man. said he was asked to provide his employees with eight different bathrooms, one for each sex of each race
"When archeologists dig us up," he said,“I hope they realize that the profusion of toilets was an apt trophy for the present regime."
Woods does not believe that disinvestment or other economic sanctions, will bring a quick end to apartheid. Aparteid is,"not going to end bv disinvest-
ment, but rather its lifespan will be shortened," he said
Woods cited Zimbabwe as an example in which the country went through a bloody civil war with Britain in the late 1970s. Much trade was cut off, but rather than bringing about an end to the troubles, an internal economy was given birth.
He sees the possibility of the same situation occurring in South Africa. The government could be maintained for some time, he believes, until it slowly suffocates from a lack of foreign cash deposits.
Woods does view sanctions as important, though, saying "while they will not break the economy of South Africa, they will hurt it psychologically."
Displaying an annoyed impatience with companies and universities who do not disinvest. Woods said “They say to me, 'We must try to maximize our investment plan.’ I respond,‘Then prostitution, cocaine and a few well-organized bank robberies will get you money if you don’t care about the morality of the subject.’ "
The future of South Africa looks bleak, according to Woods
The white government is not cooperating, he said. Almost 1,000 people have been killed in the past eight months and the white population seems to be hardening its resistence to change.
“Because whites have isolated themselves socially and politically, they find themselves in a situation even they don't understand." Woods said.
