Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, was surprised to receive the Scott Goodnight Award from the National Association of Student Personnel Administration for his service. ■ Vice President for Student Affairs recognized for years of service to University BY KELLY RUANE News Editor When William R. Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, walked into his office Tuesday morning, he had no idea what was waiting for him. Butler has been awarded the Scott Goodnight Award from the National Association of Student Personnel Administration (NASPA). 'T had no idea that I was being considered, that I was nominated and I walk into my office and I suddenly find this wonderful honor,” Butler said. He said he had no idea he had been nominated by University Center Director Patricia Whitely and a group of other vice presidents for student affairs from universities around the country. "It's awfully nice to be recognized by your professional peers nationally," Butler said. "There were a number of professionals nationally that nominated me, among them being our own Dr. [Patricia] Whitely." The Goodnight Award will be presented to Butler at a luncheon in Chicago on March 22. Butler said his wife and other UM colleagues will be there to see him receive the award. The Scott Goodnight Award is named after NASPA's founding president. "It [the Goodnight award] goes back to 1919-20," Butler said. "He [Goodnight] is the former dean of men at the University of Wisconsin." NASPA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The University is an institutional member of NASPA, Butler said. "All of the chief student affairs officers constitute the representation all over the country," Butler said. "My office is the official representative in terms of voting and representing the University." In her nomination letter to the NASPA selection committee, Whitely said support for Butler's nomination "could read like a 'Who's Who in Student Affairs' because Bill [Butler] has been a mentor, friend, advisor or confidant to many chief student affairs officers in the past three decades.” Whitely's letter also outlined Butler's achievements at the University. Butler, who will retire in May after 32 years as vice president, has received "virtually every award and recognition for excellence in administration" at UM, Whitely said. Butler was also the chair of Miami's Community Relations Commission and served on the Florida Student Financial Assistance Commission. Butler was awarded the Commanders Cross of the Order of Merit from the president of the Federal Republic of Germany, was invited by the People's Republic of China to lecture at six universities and was awarded awarded a Fulbright Grant. In addition to these honors. Butler was instrumental in the University awarding the first athletic scholarships to women in the United States, converting traditional residence halls into residential colleges, constructing the University Center, the George A. Smathers Student Wellness Center, the Career Services Center and the University Rathskeller. Whitely also sent the selection committee two essays Butler wrote called "Those Things That Have Kept Me Fresh Over the Years" and "Those Things Which Tend to Wear Me Out," which Butler wrote for a NASPA conference. "I was one of three people on a panel and I presented a list of 38 items that have tended to keep me fresh over the years," Butler said. "Among them at the very top is stu- dents and my love for students.” Butler said his list of what wears him out is shorter than the other list. "It's about IS or so things that have gotten to me over the years, but I always like to emphasize the positive," Butler said. Butler said he is proud to have received the award. "It's a wonderful thing that I feel very proud of," he said. Whitely set to replace Butler MELISSA CLAY / Hurricane Photographer MOVING UP: After 15 years at UM, Patricia Whitely will replace William R. Butler as vice president for Student Affairs. By KELLY RUANE News Editor» When Vice President for Student Affairs William R. Butler retires in May, a familiar face at the University of Miami will take his place. Patricia Whitely, director of the University Center and former director of Student Life, will replace Butler. As vice president, Whitely will oversee student affairs, residence halls, international scholar and student services, multicultural student affairs, student life, wellness and recreation, the counseling center, the University Center, and the Toppel Career Planning and Placement Center. Whitely said she was honored and privileged to be chosen as Butler's replacement. “No one can wear the uniform of Dr. Butler and I don't intend to try," Whitely said. "I'm incredibly privileged to replace him but no one can replace him. I'll be different, because the reality is that I'm not Dr. Butler." Whitely said she will try to be a role model for everyone and a leader to the students. Butler said he was happy with the choice for his replacement. "I think she's an outstanding choice and I fee) like a proud father," Butler said. "She has served in several different positions for the last 15 years and she has distinguished herself. There is no question in my mind she is an outstanding choice for our University at this time." Butler said Whitely is well-respected by students and faculty,- "I feel very good about the fact that she's been so involved throughout the administration of student affairs," Butler said. Butler said he did not want to have a say in the choice for his replacement. » "[That decision] was made by the president and the provost," Butler said. "I said at the very beginning that I did not want to have anything to do with the selection of my successor. " Whitely has been with the University for 15 years. During her time at UM, she has also served as the associate director of residence halls and on the Universitywide steering committee for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' accreditation process. Whitely said she has been given many opportunities at UM. "Few people have the opportunity to grow up in an institution. I've seen all these changes in a 15-year period," Whitely said. Whitely said her current job and previous positions at UM have already helped her establish a good relationship with students. "I think this job has helped me immeasurably," Whitely said. "I understand what occurs here [at UM], I have a really good knowledge of residence halls and commuter students, and a good basis in understanding the issues of the next millennium." Whitely is also an adjunct professor at the School of Education. Whitely said she will not be teaching next fall because she wants to devote time to her new position. "I need to give 100 percent to this position. I could teach in the future but I think if I did it now, it would not be fair to the students," Whitely said. Whitely said she has already set goals for herself. "My main goal is to get to know every person in the division of student affairs personally and to get to know how all the divisions operate," Whitely said. “My first year will probably be needs assessment. I want everyone working together." Whitely said she is happy with her new position. She said she is nervous about taking over. "[UM President Edward T. Foote II] put a lot of confidence in me to do the job," Whitely said. “I think it's okay to be apprehensive about taking on responsibility." Whitely compared her new position to a move from the minor leagues in baseball to the major leagues. "It's about being a major player on a team. I'll become a major player in articulating the needs of students," Whitely said. Events aim to spread King’s word BY KELLY RUANE News Editor The University of Miami will be commemorating the birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., with a week's worth of activities next week. After the holiday on Monday, students will have opportunities to leam more about King and his message. The national theme for this year's holiday is "On the King holiday, help somebody! Every American can make a difference." Steve Clark, director of the UM Department of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA), said the week is a campuswide event to increase awareness of King's teachings. "This has been the first time we have had a campuswide effort," Clark said. "The purpose of Martin Luther King, Jr. Week is to educate the campus community about the contributions made by King and the civil rights movement."

YEE Hurricane Staff Writer This weekend, artists from around the world and local talent from the University of Miami will converge outside the Lowe Art Museum for the 46th Annual Beaux Festival of Art. "It will continue rain or shine," said University spokeswoman Michelle Garber. The festival, which starts tomorrow at 10 a.m and runs through Sunday, will feature over 250 artists and craftsmen from across the country, international food vendors and music. The festival was started in 1950 by Beaux Arts, Inc, and was originally a clothesline festival for artists to showcase their work for different buyers. The festival has since grown, and has limited its collection to 250 juried pieces. The Beaux Arts Festival is usually independent of UM with its proceeds going to the Lowe Art Museum. This year, however, the UM School of Music's Brass Quintet will perform on Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm. A highlight of this year's festival will be a special exhibit called the "Promenade of Excellence," a celebration of UM's 70th Anniversary. The exhibit will be located along Stanford Circle outside the Student Health Center. Celebrating UM's growth over seven decades, the Promenade exhibit is a visual display of memorabilia, and historical information as well as a showcase of innovative and groundbreaking research of the University's schools and organiza- tions. "It's going to be hands-on," Garber said. "It highlights how the University has grown. Different schools will have a hands-on showcases with certain books from different eras, or developments on the latest research that is going on currently." The Promenade was originally scheduled to coincide with the 70th Anniversary celebrations in October. Hurricane Lilt's threat to South Florida postponed the exhibit. Doug Phillips of UM Media Relations said the exhibit will be a variation of the one scheduled for October. "The storm was approaching and that part of the 70th Anniversary got cancelled," Phillips said. "Many of the same participants will be included." BEAUX ARTS FESTIVAL PARKING MAP
