Greek Week Starting tonight, the Greeks begin a nine-day week Entertainment — page 6 A six-man splash Six University of Miami men swimmers are at the NCAA finals this weekend Sports — page 8 From the minds off photographers Three photo essays from three Miami Hurricane photographers INSIGHT Volume 63, Number 43 University of Miami Friday, April 4, 1986 Students offered rebates By OLYMPIA ROSS Hurricane Staff Writer About 1,200 University of Miami students who received a Florida State Assistance Grant for the 1985-86 school year will be eligible for a finance charge rebate in May. Since FSAGs did not reach UM until the end of the drop-add period, students had to defer up to $600 of their fees per semster. Therefore, a finance charge for the deferment was automatically imposed by the Bursar’s office. The rebates, $8.25 for the maximum $1200 grant, will reimburse students who had ‘to pay the finance charge on the FSAG deferments last fall and this spring. “It’s something we've been wrestling with,” said Bursar Al Matthews. "We’ve been struggling with how to make it fair to students." The rebate is a temporary solution to the problem caused by the new policy concerning the allocation of FSAG funds, established by the Office of Financial Assistance in Tallahassee. Director of Financial Assistance Services Ernest Smith said the new policy did not allow the disbursement of funds until registration stabilization occured for all schools in Florida. “I think it’s wonderful,” Smith said. "I think it's great the University has responded." Students may have the money credited to their account, or request a check. If a student has an outstanding debt to the university, the money must be used to pay off the debt. The finance charges must be absorbed by the University's general budget. Smith and Matthews estimate a $15,000 to $20,000 cost to the University. Vice President of Business and Finance Dave Lieberman is credited with making the decision to issue rebates. “It reflects his [Lieberman's] commitment to students,” Matthews said. University officials have not yet determined how the FSAG payments will be administered next year. “Several other schools are trying to convince the state to go back to the old way of doing things," Matthews said. In previous years, FSAG funds were sent to schools upon notification of a student’s enrollment. Then, deferments and rebates were not needed. UM takes over Planet Ocean By SATISH ERALY Hurricane Staff Writer The University of Miami will assume responsibility for the financially troubled International Oceanographic Federation on Virginia Key, according to the Office of Public Affairs. The foundation operates Plant Ocean, a marine museum which has been suffering yearly deficits of around $300,000. This is not, however, a purchase by the University, but rather a reunification. IOF was founded by F.G. Walton Smith, the founding dean of UM's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. John Ross, director of media relations for Public Affairs said the Planet Ocean facility is a way to communicate and publicize the research in the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and the nearby National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Center. “It is more of a teaching facility than a tourist attraction," he said. The long-term goal of UM is to use the IOF and its internationally renowned publication “Sea Fron- Plans to slowly change UM’s face By PATRICK McCREERY Hurricane Assistant News Editor “I drove out toward the University from Coral Gables, passing through its tree-lined streets, and then by broad highways into open countryside. Suddenly I saw before me a streamlined mass of steel, concrete, glass, and fieldstone — a group of spectacular ... buildings rising in openpineland ...” "Planners of the University have developed the campus in the spirit of Caribbean Florida’s new architecture. Alt buildings have natural cross circulation to air. Sheltered galleries, walkways, and breeze-ways flank the outer walls ... The architecture is startling to an observer accustomed to cloistered halls and ivy-covered walls on a university campus." — William It. Nicholas The "distinctly modern-type buildings" of the University of Miami that William 11. Nicholas wrote about in the November 1950 National Geographic Magazine are today being slated for demolition to make room for newer, more efficient classrooms, dormitories and offices for the University. Richard Dober, of Doher and Associates, a firm that advises universities on effective campus land use. has created a campus plan for UM that calls for 10 new buildings and additions to 20 existing ones. Many of the buildings on the Eaton Hall side of Lake Osceola, under the plan, would be replaced by low-rise administration and classroom buildings, surrounding a grassy mall, and large parking lots. The mall, a swath of green stretching from Ponce de I eon Boulevard to where the Eaton Hall parking lot now is. would N surrounded by a new Ring Theatre and a new Lowe Art Museum a University Hall (an auditorium seating several thousand students i administrative offices and one or two buildings housing school of colleges of the Ulllventtj Di • said.

Edward J. Pfister, most recently the president and chief executive officer of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in Washington, D.C., will take over the dean position in about two weeks, according to William Hipp. dean of the Music School and chairman of the Communication Dean Search Committee. Pfister was chosen out of about 160 applicants interested in the job, Hipp said. He also added that it is unusual for a dean to be named who is from the industry, not academia. “He (Pfister] brings to the University national visibility, proven fund-raising skills and long standing relationships with people in the industry,” Hipp said. Before the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, Pfister was president, general manager and director for public broadcasting sta- tions KERA-TV and KFRA-FM in Dallas, lexas, tor live years From June 1972 to December 1975, he was executive assistant to the chairman at the Public Broadcasting Service in Washing ton. D.C. In addition to managing puble broadcasting facilities for mure than 20 years, Pfister has been a university lecturer and a second ary school teacher in Latin and English. Pfister has a Master of Arts from Seton Hall University In South Orange, N.J , and a Bachelor of Arts from St. Peter's College in Jersey City. N.J. He is also on the board of trustees for the Museum of Broad casting. The search committee, which consisted of 11 faculty members and administrators, began looking for a new dean in January 1985 The committee submitted their selection to President Edward T Foote after interviewing six final candidates. A consultant committee was also formed to submit a separate selection for dean to the president Foote then made the final choice Senate gets new speaker By MARILYN GARATEIX Hurricane News Editor The off-campus central senator and a newly inducted senator were elected Speaker of the Senate and Speaker Pro-Tempore of the Undergraduate Student Body Government Senate on Wednesday. ___________ Correction Due to a reporting error in the March 28 issue of The Miami Hurricane, the sorority Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., was incorrectly named Delta Sigma Alpha. The three girls pictured. Ana Jackson, Greta Watts and Faith Taylor, were on their way to a sorority event and were not going through initiation. The Hurricane regrets the In a 20-17 vote. Junior Nely Fernandez, became Speaker of the Senate. Izhar Haq, senator for the Council of International Student Organization, was her opponent. Sophomore Bill Barzee was elected Speaker Pro-Tempore in a 21-14 vote against Freshmen Senator Marc Oster. Barzee won in the recent USBG election as an Arts and Sciences senator. Carlos Mendia was appointed Parlamentarian by Fernandez. He will be responsible for making sure the Senate meetings run according to the constitution and parliamentary procedure. Fernandez, a broadcast journalism and poltics double major, plans to stick with constitutional procedure at the Senate meetings and said there have been violations in the past which have not been addressed. She wants to integrate USBG’s cabinet with the Senate by having the cabinet’s secretary attend senate committee meetings and believes the Senate’s strength should lie with the committees themselves and not with the meetings held Wednesdays. Barzee, an English and philosophy double major, told the Senate in his election speech that although the Speaker Pro-Tempore officially is not delegated any specifc responsibilities, he plans to find out what “everyone in USBG wants". In other action, the Senate passed a bill calling for a revision of the existing residential meal-plan policy to include eight and 10-meal plans. Another bill was passed which would give students living in residential colleges the option of dropping the :v>ca! i'l in in favor of alternative co ur. ity meal plans provided by ,e: Vt;c training or fraternities. Students taking this option will still be required to pay the residential community dinner fee. The administration will have 30 days to respond to the Senate's proposal.
