Campaign tops $400 million
Fundraising effort reaches goal early
By BARBRA SPALTEN
Associate News Editor
The University of Miami fundraising campaign is only in its fifth year and has raised $401.2 million, surpassing its $400 million target 19 months ahead of schedule. The campaign will continue towards its December 1989 completion date.
The annual Donor Recognition Gala, where the University of Miami's top supporters are honored, was held Saturday evening at the Grand Ballroom of the Omni International Hotel, 1601 Biscayne Blvd.
"It was great," said vice president of Development Rita Born-stein. "We have to work very hard to continue; we haven't nearly reached our goals for new buildings, chairs, and scholarships for students. We have to keep the momentum up"
The benchmark was topped by a new $5 million committment from the Hacourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation, brining its total committment to the UM School of Medicine to $32.5 million.
UM President Edward T. Foote II said, "I am delighted but not
surprised. I’ve believed in the University for a long time, and I had every confidence that the community would support us."
Seventy-five percent of the financial committments for the UM campaign came from individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
More than 131,000 committments, 45 percent, came from non-alumni individuals. Institutions much older than UM generally have generations of alumni contribution. However, more than half of UM's alumni have graduated since 1972.
Bornstein said it was not unusual for nine percent of the funds to come from alumni. “Most of our alumni graduated since the 1970s" she said. “We're still developing our alumni program,"
The school also just launched the alumni program, with Charley Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Barnett Bank, in charge. "We’ll invite alumni to participate in building a great University," Bornstein said "We haven’t finished asking our neighbors."

UM continues dean search
Committees to evaluate candidates
By ALBERT XIQUES
Staff Writer
The University of Miami is continuing its search for new deans for the Schools of Business Administration and Nursing, according to Provost Luis Glaser. He said these searches can sometimes be lengthy.
Dr. Jack Borsting, dean of the Business School, will leave his post effective July 1. Dean of the School of Nursing June Dreher is leaving
Glaser said in order to keep things running smoothly, the University will appoint interim deans within the next month or so.
As for the qualities expected of the candidates, Glaser said. "Obviously they have to be qualified in the field or have experience in activities related to the respective school. They should also be recognized in their fields and have administrative experience, as well as leadership qualities and the ability to interact with the community."
“The usual search takes about a
year," Glaser said. “It would be desirable if it could be shorter, but they're truly unpredictable."
Glaser said a search committee that was appointed three months ago to find a new nursing dean has | found several candidates.
The nursing search committee, co-chaired by associate dean Dr. Georgie Labadie, is comprised of Professor Beverly Nielsen and Drs. Sandra Dunbar, Janice Hayes, Ruth Tappen and Frances Keen of the School of Nursing; Dr. Burton Goldstein of the School of Medicine; Dr. David Wilson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and June Mass of Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Glaser said no business dean search committee has been appointed yet, but he expects one will be soon. The searches will be conducted on a national level.
“When we go on a national level, that doesn't mean we will exclude people on the inside |of the University,) but they will have to compete with other candidates." Glaser said.

The ferris wheel at this weekend’s Carni Gras festival lit up Friday and Saturday nights behind Fraternity Row.
Rides, fun return to Carni Gras
By J.P. SZYMKOW1CZ
Staff Writer
Rides, food, fun and music were words used in banners and newspaper advertisements to describe the 1988 Carni Gras at the University of Miami.
Problems with the electricity on Friday night aside, these words captured the general mood at the event.
This annual spring event began in 1951 as the Chi Omega sorority Sun Festival and was taken over later by the University and developed into one of the largest student-run
carnivals in the southeast.
Carni Gras was held Friday and Saturday on the field behind Fraternity Row on the lots between San Amaro and Red Road.
Carnival rides returned to Carni Gras, after a layoff of a few years due to insurance problems.
A cake eating contest was held Saturday afternoon, and a “Dirty Dancing" contest capped the fair off late Saturday night.
This carnival brought together students and families alike. According to Kevin Wuollet from Public Saftey, “This activity attracted an
outstanding, well-behaved crowd, and luckily, we had no criminal problems."
In the event of an emergency situation, five officers were on hand at all times.
Campus Organizations set up 30 booths at the event.
Fraternities, sororities and other student groups sponsored the booths. Eaton Residential College featured the Eaton Hit Squad, where custumers would pay $1 to have the hit squad throw a pie into the face of a person of the customer's choosing.
Hit Squad member Alan Shaw said, "Most

Panhellenic suites to be returned to Greeks
Administrators say space may be available soon
By AMY ELLIS
Assistant News Editor
The University of Miami administration is attempting to return all Panhellenic Building suites to Greek letter organizations. Currently, five suites are being used for academic offices.
According to Provost Luis Glaser, these suites will be returned for fraternity and sorority use when alternative space is found.
Dean of Student Personnel William Sandler said, "It’s simply a matter of consolidating present office space and finding new space. Everyone in the administration is actively seeking to do this."
Presently, the three Greek organizations on campus that do not have Panhellenic suites are Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, and the Federation of Black Greeks.
SAM brother David Sasser authored a bill to guarantee the use of Panhellenic suites to the Greeks last year when he was the Student Government Honors Students Association senator.
"It’s really tough not having a suite," Sasser said. "We have nowhere for meetings or parties."
Donna Taback, president of Delta Phi Epsilon, said
the sorority has been meeting in the University Center for two years.
"It’s really a disadvantage for us during Homecoming and Greek Week when we don’t have anywhere to meet or practice.” Taback said. “We have to compete with other organizations to get a
r°°Taback said she hopes her sorority. SAM and FBG will get suites next semester.
"We haven't been promised anything yet," she said. "But hopefully some of the offices will be
relocated soon.”
In addition, several Greek organizations are interested in establishing themselves on campus and leasing suites in the Panhellenic Building. Tau Epsilon Pi fraternity is actively seeking to start a chapter at UM.
Sandler said the suites will be asssigned on a first come first served basis. Until then, the UM Division of Student Affairs will maintain a list of qualified and interested Greek organizations who can purchase the leases when they become available.
"I'm optimistic that one of those suites will free up soon," Sandler said.

Patio, stage renovations planned
By BARBRA SPALTEN
Associate News Editor
Plans to renovate the Univertsi-ty Center patio include creating more shaded areas and possibly removing the cover of the stage.
University Center Director Jeff Zirulnick said, “Right now, we know in the long run that they |UM administration! would like to remove the stage because it obstructs the view of the lake. We're seeking an alternative performance facility on campus for students.”
He said the removal of the stage is not only possible, but probable. “The bigger question is what will be in its place," he said.
Zirulnick said the administration has said nothing will be altered or removed on the patio until the summer and that his office will have input regarding the final decision.
Assistant director of Student Activities Jody Kalman said the stage cover has not lived up to its
Stage cover may be removed
original contract obligations because it is so difficult to clean. Physical Plant cannot find the contract with the company that built the cover.
Zirulnick said local companies say the cover cannot be cleaned or repaired, and the only solution is to remove it.
“The stage cover is less than 10 years old," Zirulnick said. "We have tried to clean it and it is just getting worse. We are not pleased as a user."
Don Anguish, associate vice president for Business Affairs, said he is planning "project work" for the patio area, which does not include immediate plans for the removal of the cover.
“We want to make the patio more attractive and usable for students.” Anguish said. "We're looking at it from a maintenance standpoint."
"The canopy over the stage
doesn't look very nice,” Anguish said, adding that the options include taking it down, replacing it, or renovating it. He said the decision is up to the University
Center administration
According to Anguish, the east side of the patio, by the Eye snack bar, will be redesigned. Tables will be added, as well as more shade provided through canopies, umbrellas and trees.

A panel of University of Miami administrators and students gave Debbie Morgan the Award for Excellence in Student Involvement Thursday morning at a breakfast honoring seniors involved in extracurricular activities.
Morgan said she did not expect to win over the 10 other finalists, even while Dean of Students William Shceder was reading the award.
"I thought they were talking about Shannon High," Morgan said of the former manager of UM Cable Channel 51. Sheeder “started saying ‘3.7 grade point average' and the cable station.”
Morgan, a telecommunication and psychology major, is editor in chief of The Miami Hurricane. host of To the Point, a half-hour weekly talk show on UM’s cable station, and anchor of UM Newsline. She is a member of Iron
