Foote names new masters
■ Oglesby will start at Hecht this fall
By KELLY RUANE
News Editor
University of Miami President Edward T. Foote II has appointed four new resident masters for the residential colleges.
Resident masters serve three-year terms. Vice President for Student Affairs William R. Butler said in some cases, the contract can be renewed for a fourth year.
The new masters and their colleges are Donald Oglesby, Hecht Residential College; Liz Rothlein, Eaton Residential College; Maryann Barber, Stanford Residential College; and Robert Moore, Mahoney Residential College.
Only one resident master will begin his term this fall. The other three will begin in the fall of 1998.
Donald Oglesby will replace current Hecht master René Sacasas in the fall.
All the incoming resident masters were chosen from associate masters at the University.
John Masterson, vice provost, said the president does not always choose from the associate masters.
“There was a richness in talent already in the associate masters, four outstanding people we could recommend to the president as the next four resident masters," Masterson said.
Masterson said when looking for a resident master, Foote usually looks for people who are “outstanding teachers and scholars, deeply committed and involved with undergraduate education.”
Masterson said this year’s choices are no exception.
Oglesby is an associate master at Hecht and an associate professor of vocal performance in the Choral Department at the School of Music. He has been at UM since 1977, and is in his second year as Hecht associate master.
Oglesby’s wife, Linda, works in the Department of Residence Halls.
Oglesby said he is pleased with his appointment and is ready to handle the added responsibility.
“There’s certainly more of a coordinating function and some more responsibility," Oglesby said. "We have a very supportive staff working with Joe Conti | Hecht Residence Coordinator] and the other associate masters. We work as a team and we feel like this is going to be a good experience."
Oglesby said he has always carried an interest in the residential college system. He served on the faculty senate that decided to institute the system 12 years ago.
Oglesby said he already has a connection to students at Hecht and is happy he will be staying there.
“(Hecht is] really a very remarkable place even though there are so many people there," Oglesby said.
Both Oglesby and Masterson said students like having faculty members in the residential colleges that they can go to at all times.
"There’s a presence of faculty members who are not just here because of education but also because of a genuine interest in student life here and a dedication to the students," Oglesby said.
Patricia Whitely, who will replace Butler next fall, said the other three resident masters were appointed now for fall of 1998 in order to begin planning for the transition period.
"There was a richness of talent and an opportunity to plan ahead,” Whitely said. “Dr. Masterson and I can move ahead and plan with these new resident masters.”
Rothlein, assistant dean and professor at the School of Education, will go to Eaton. Rothlein is currently associate master at Stanford Residential College,
Rothlein will replace Paul Lazarus as Eaton resident master. She has been at the University since 1976.
Whitely said Rothlein’s jump from Stanford to Eaton is not uncommon.
“It has happened a few times,” Whitely said. “We felt she’d be an asset to continue the work going on
ROTHLEIN
MOORE
at Eaton.”
Rothlein and her husband, Ashe, will move in next summer.
Maryann Barber is also an associate master at Stanford. She will replace Ken Smith there as the fifth resident master and the first woman resident master.
Barber is a lecturer in computer information science and has been at the University since 1987.
Robert Moore, a professor and former associate dean at the School of Education since 1975, will become the resident master at Mahoney Moore is currently associate master at Mahoney.
He is the first African-American resident master.
Butler said appointing the resident masters from within was an important choice for the University.
"These people have already distinguished themselves," Butler said. “We’re pleased to accentuate the values of each college."
The residential college program has been at the University for 12 years.
Whitely said it was loosely modeled on universities such as Harvard and Yale, but the UM model is unique.
“The Miami plan has really caught the attention of all of higher education, something we can be proud of,” Butler said.
Butler said the resident masters are an important asset to the

Month dedicated to women
■ Women’s Resource Center plans month’s events
By DANA L. CAIRO
Hurricane Staff Writer
March is Women's History Month and the Women's Resource Center Programming Board has been planning events since the beginning of the year. Advertisements have been posted all around the University of Miami about upcoming activities that address women's issues.
The Women's Resource Center (WRC), which was established at UM on April 13, 1994, by the Undergraduate	Student
Government, co-sponsored an opening ceremonies luncheon yesterday along with the School of Continuing Studies and the Panhellenic Council. This event featured guest speaker Mary Doyle of the UM Law School and was the first of nearly a dozen events throughout the month of March. The purpose of these events, as well as the goal of the WRC, is to
provide education on issues that affect women on a local, national and global level. The issues that the WRC addresses throughout the year include health/wellness, diversity awareness, sexuality, leadership, career development, social justice, global issues and violence against women.
In addition, issues such as sexual harassment and low self-esteem plague women, especially those in college. Many of the events planned will provide a way to show women that they can be powerful and overcome these issues.
These events will help women lose their fears and become more aggressive. A women's commission breakfast is planned for tomoiTow, at which Metro-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson will speak on "Educating, Encouraging, and Empowering Women: The Role of Women in Politics.”
All of the events planned will be open to anyone that attends them, especially the activity for March 25, "Personal Renewal: Someday is Here." This will be a workshop on encouraging personal renewal, setting and reaching personal goals
The Women's Resource Center was recently granted $5,000 on a trial basis for three years. The funding enabled the Center to be open full-time from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week, and helped to staff the center and take care of operational and administrative costs.
However, additional funding was used to help fund the events of Women's History Month.
According to junior Kisha Wright, this months' events could use more publicity.
Rebecca Lobo of the U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team and NCAA Player of the Year, will visit the University.
Wright said, "Rebecca Lobo is coming and not many people know about it. This is detrimental to success." The programming board, which consists of 20 women, has been advertising throughout the school, including setting up a booth at last week's Cami Gras.
Wright said with Lobo, the name itself should draw a lot of people.
