♦ The Administration has announced an increase in the rate of all tuition effective with the beginning of the next academic year in September.
“Unfortunately, it is necessary because of rising costs,” said Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, UM president, “for the University of Miami to follow the example of other independent colleges and universities and to move tuition rates upward.”
The specific increases are as follows:
Hay Student«
For full time students, taking from 12 to 18 credits, tuition will go from $450 to $500 a semester — or in increase of $100 for the academic year.
For part-time students, taking less than 12 credits or for full-time students taking more than 18 credit, it will go from $30 a credit to $33 a credit, an increase of $3 for each credit.

5 New Members Added To Board Of Trustees
Med School Awarded Grant From Federal Government
By SANDY STEDMAN MamcMN tut. H*wi («tor
More than a quarter of a million dollars has been awarded to the UM School of Medicine by the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
The $276,637 research grant is a portion of almost $19 million now given to 141 schools of medicine, dentistry and osteopathy under a new federal program which is designed to provide flexibility in the use of research funds. Research allocations now amount to more than three and one-half million dollars a year.
The UM Medical School plans to use the new funds to expand student research programs and to establish pilot studies in several Reids, according to Dr. Edward W. D. Norton, acting dean of the Med School.
"Student research is an important aspect of medical education today, but until now funds have been lacking to provide students with more than ordinary lab materials," Dr. Norton said.
Other plans include the development of centers in highly specialized areas, such as electronic medicine, equipment development and medical engineering. The establishment of an instrumentation center where all kinds of advanced
medical equipment can be developed and maintained will be one of the first new programs.
The center, which will be operated hy trained biophysicists, electronic technicians and engineers, will maintain, repair, service and control the elaborate equipment currently used in research, the medical school head explained.
New kinds of “medical hardware” will be developed there along with “an instrument pool” where expensive gadgets needed temporarily can be housed, loaned out to departments, then serviced and stored once more.
The NIH grant will also be used for an electron microscope center. The medical school now has two of these microscopes, valued at $35,000 each.
“This center will enable all departments to utilize those highly specialized materials,” Dr. Norton stated. He noted
Act Now—Save $1
Beginning Monday, there will be a charge of $1 for ; I.D. photos or card validation. Cards may be validated at the Photo Center, Building 825.
that there will be additional staff and equipment in the electron microscopy section to help other investigators without endangering or slowing down their own research programs. Pilot studies will also be established under the NIH funds.
“The new grant will enable the School of Medicine to provide equipment and the beginnings of a research project to someone who has a promising idea,” he explained. He said that it will be the kind of pilot study which has proved so successful in industrial research.
“We are extremely anxious to encourage the beginning research worker, both in the faculty and in the student body,” Dean Norton noted.
Past summer programs have been conducted by members of the faculty who worked with some 46 medical students, most of them under scholarships from the government and various health agencies.
“Now student work on an individual basis will be possible, and worthwhile projects will not have to be abandoned for lark of materials," Dr. Norton said.
A Research Review Committee in the School of Medicine will administer the grant funds.
Chairman of the committee is Dr. Harvey Blank, professor and chairman of the depart-
NEW CONSTITUTION
By JERRY Q. GREENFIELD
Undergraduate Student Government Council passed the new form of their constitution at a meeting Jan. 15.
The new constitution was passed as a series of stylistic changes to facilitate its passing, according to Bill Cornell, USG president. By voting on it as stylistic changes, USG delayed the date when it takes effect until the next elections in
March, rather than have it become effective immediately.
This is the first USG constitution to be drawn up in its entirety hy the students. The past forms were the result of a committee including both administrators and students over which USG had no influence, since it was not yet formed.
“We honestly feel that it is a better vehicle for student gov-
ernment,” Cornell commented. “It is more exactly defined; it increases the fields in which the student government can act and it puts in the hands of the students a more representative group.”
As part of the change toward a “more representative group." the new constitution, under Article VI. calls for the direct election of all officers

ment of dermatology. Other members are Drs. Ivan C. Ber-lien, associate professor of psychiatry; William B. Deichmann, professor and chairman of pharmacology; John C. Fin-erty, professor and chairman of anatomy; A. Gorman Hills, professor of medicine; Kenneth Savard, professor of biochemistry; M. Michael Sigel, professor of microbiology; and Dean Norton, professor of ophthalmology.
Research grant requests for scientific merit, availability of space, facilities and personnel are also reviewed by the committee.
* + + $75,000Mo re ToMarineLab
A $75,000 grant has been awarded to the UM Institute of Marine Science by the National Science Foundation to support an extensive research program
The program is entitled “Caribbean Deep-Sea Cores and Associated Research Problems." “The research will consist of a study of cores collected from the sea bottom in the Caribbean area last year,” explained Dr. Cesare Emiliani of the Institute.
“The main purpose of this study will be to determine the rate of sedimentation, and also to ascertain the temperatures of the ocean when these sediments were deposited, going hack as far as 500,000 years," he continued.
The grant was administered under the direction of Cesare Emiliani and G. A. Rusnak of the scientific staff of the Institute of Marine Science.
Dr. Fritz Koczy has received part of this grant for research on the geochemistry of radioactive elements in the marine environment. The remainder of the grant will be used for activities of visiting investigators directed by Dr. C. P. Idyll and F G. Walton Smith.
