Committee Studies Pre-Registration
By JIM HOLLANDER And STEVE OSINSKI
Of The Hurricane Staff
Two proposals are being studied by an administrative committee that, if approved, would make it possible to pre-register in April for the following fall semester and in December for the following winter semester.
A subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on Registration and Calendar initiated its study last month after Alec Dontb, representing USBG President Ken Gardner, proposed that an advanced registration procedure be ofiered to University students.
“One of the greatest hassles facing students are those mile-long lines they have to wait in in order to select their courses at registration each semester,” Domb said.
The committee is composed of faculty and administrative officials as well as the USBG president. Because Domb made the original proposal for USBG President Ken Gardner, he has been selected as a member of the subcommittee.
t
The subcommittee currently is studying two alternatives for an advanced registration procedure. The first would allow students wishing to preregister to pay a non-refundable partial payment of their tuition. Although an exact figure has not been confirmed, Domb said committee members have discussed an approximate figure of $100 to $150.
The other proposal would have students pay a non-refundable $25 pre-registration fee which would not go towards their tuition.
“At present, the subcommittee is divided on their choice of the two,” Domb said. “However, it is only a matter of time until a unanimous decision is reached.”
He said an advanced registration procedure would require that the class schedule books be made available two months earlier than they presently are. It would be difficult for the various aca-

"The disease of high blood pressure is the major cause of heart attack, strokes and kidney disorders,” Save a I.ife committee chairman John Davidson said. “Of people over 40 years old with the problem 99 per cent will die before they should because they went untreated.”
People found having high blood pressure will be referred to a doctor and then the Circle K Club will follow up on the program’s results.

demic departments to move their administrative work up the necessary 60 days, he said.
Students who change their minds about preregistered courses could complete drop-add forms during normal registration at no further cost, he said, adding that normal registration would be shorter than in the past.
“Members of the committee realize the need for the advanced registration,” Domb said. “All of them are for it. All we have to work out is the mechanics.”
Concerning when the procedure would go into effect, he said half the committee proposes it for fall semester, 1975, which means students would register in April, while the other half proposes it for winter semester, 1976, with students then registering before Christmas vacation.
Domb said the subcommittee would make its recommendation to the parent committee in the near future.

Business School students will soon be making out report cards for their professors.
For the first time next week they will have the opportunity to evaluate their professors by filling out questionnaires which will be distributed in their classes.
The student responses will then be compiled in a booklet which will aid students with their course selections for next semester, said Dr. Janies Foley, economics professor and director of the project.
"We hope to have the booklet published in January and available for the students’ consideration before they register,” he said.
Dr. Foley said the original idea for a faculty evaluation booklet was proposed by Dean Edward Fox and the Business School Council voted unanimously in favor of the resolution,
“The evaluation acts as a strong mechanism to encourage professors to do their best in the classroom,” Dr. Foley said "The students will be choosing the professors that get the highest ratings.”
Unlike previous faculty
evaluations conducted by Undergraduate Student Body Gov e r nment, Dr. Foley said the instructors will have nothing to do with the collection of data.
“The distribution of questionnaires will be handled entirely by student representatives. The faculty will never lay a hand on this,” he said.
Dr. Foley said surveys will be conducted in each of the 250 business courses and that approximately 15 to 20 minutes of class time will be allotted for completion of the questionnaire.
“Actually, the questionnaire is a little over two
years old and is essentially the same one used for the Masters of Business Administration,” he said.
"We've been working on it for several months and have made some modifications. We feel that it’s a pretty good tool.”
The questions run the gamut from “organization of course," and “presentation of subject matter” to “ability to arouse interest" and “sense of humor." The instructors will be “graded" on a one-to-ten point scale, ten being the best rating and one the poorest.
Dr. Foley said the data will be additionally ana-

Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Coimminitv Involvement Includes Bio Brother And Big Sister Program
By STEVE OSINSKI
Of Tht Humean« Staff
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, (SAE) a UM fraternity, has recognized the need for its members to become more involved in community affairs. The brothers, pledges, and little sisters have voted almost ilhanimously to act as big brothers and sisters to the many motherless and fatherless children living in the nearby vicinity.
On December 13, SAE, the Big Brother and Sister Foundation and the Student Union will hold a Christmas party at the Union for an estimated 700 to 800 children.
The SAE decision came after fraternity brother Paul Delnegro began working for the Big Brother and Sister Foundation of Greater Miami He then invited a representative to come to SAE, to speak to the other members of the house.
Denny Jones SAE’s graduate Advisor and Big Brother said, “SAE had been looking for an important community project, so when the representative came over and told us of these children’s plight, we decided to make them our project.”
Last month SAE sponsored a Big Brothers Morning at their house and entertained 22 boys. The program met with overwhelming success, and all persons involved enjoyed it, he said.
Jones added, “We recognize we're making a contribution but UM students will
have to help us. If they are willing to donate their time and services to the Big Brother Foundation, we'll be happy to help them clear any red tape necessary before they can be assigned a child.”
“If a student volunteers his services to a child, the results will be completely up to him. These children
need someone whom they can talk to, to discuss problems with, and to act as a playmate,” Jones said.
lie said SAE hopes people will establish continuing relationships with these children, not one that ends after one or two week-ends together.
Jones said “The party can be a big success, but
SAE cannot do it alone. We ask all other fraternities, sororities, campus organizations, and independent students for as much assistance as possible. Together we can give these kids the greatest time they’ve ever had.”
“Already, Burger King and Coca Cola have agreed to donate goods to the
party. We urge all other merchants in this area to make contributions.” Jones said.
SAE urges all UM students to help in what they believe to be a very worthy cause. If interested please call Paul Delnegro at 284 6459, or stop by the SAE fraternity house and see the Big Brothers in action.

lyzed to see if there is a correlation between a student's grade expectancy and the rating hefives.
“For example, if a student is expecting to get an A or B, does he rate his instructor better than he actually is.”
Because the business school is underwriting the cost, Dr. Foley said it "might not be able to afford to distribute them f(ee."
“The cost of collection of data is relatively modest. The expensive part is the printing and distributing,” he said.
He said the booklets will either be distributed free or sold for one dollar.
Forty-four Western Civilization students will soon be taking an unusual field trip, a guided tour through an authentic Italian Renaissance palace and gardens. But this tour won't require air fare to Rome. Total cost will be $2.50, which includes transportation, a fried chicken box lunch and some side trips.
THE OUTING, which is co-sponsored by the History Department’s Western Civilization Television Series and RAP, will take students to Vizcaya, the magnificent 30-acre compound built on Biscayne Bay by multimillionaire James Deering, cofounder of Internat.onal Harvester.
Built in 1912, Vizcaya is not a copy of an existing palace, but an original design inspired by several Italian sources of the 16th and 17th centuries More than 1,000 artisans worked for five years to complete the palazzo and its ten acres of formal gardens and fountains, lhe house is
filled with art treasures which Mr. Deering began to collect twenty years before construction began.
Due to these efforts and the grand scale of the design, visitors enjoy the illusion of a great Venetian pa-la.'/o in the heart of Miami.
Since 195?, Vizcaya has been owned by Dade County's Park and Recreation Department, which keeps constant vigil over its fine period furniture, textiles, sculpture, decorations and gardens. Occasionally the palace is made available for special events.
The trip is scheduled for ■Saturday, November 23. A chartered bus will leave at 9:30 am. from the Student Union. After lunch, students will visit the Miami Museum of Science and the Museum of the Historical Association of South Florida, returning to the university in mid-afternoon.
Tickets are on sale in room 425 of the Ashe Building. For information call the History Department, 2452 or 5568.
Stanford W ould Like Portrait Put In Vault
By TERESA DAY and VALERIE STRAUSS
Of The Hurricane Staff
As a rule, portraits are painted to be displayed.
A newly-completed portrait by New York artist Paul Georges of UM President Henry King Stanford may not be accorded the usual resting place for portraits — a wall.
The life sized portrait was recently introduced to the public as part of a contemporary portraits exhibit by American painters at the I.owe Art Museum. Praise was not unanimous.
Although Stanford says he is not displeased with the picture, he wants the portrait pjl away in a vault.
“Although I do not think it is a sufficient likeness, I’m not unhappy with it either, “he said.
"Where the portrait will be placed has not been decided yet. I think it would be more appropriate to put it back in the vault during the time I arr president,” Stanford said. “Ugliness is in the i /e of the beholder."
Mr. George; is interested in the flora and faun, of Southen Florida. Some say that he is more faithful to the flora than the fauna,” President Stanford said.
Former Alumni Association President and
Portrait Committee Chairman Thomas Davison 111 said the portrait is the first work of art ever
commissioned by the university. However, the alumni arc only “fairly well pleased with the
portrait.”
Fine Arts Committee member Eugene Mas-sin said, “We didn't want to create a mausolea but wanted a life-like portrait. The painting is a work of art, and that's why it's controversial.”
The idea for the portrait was conceived in 1972.
F.arly in that year Davison suggested the idea of giving a portrait of President Stanford to the Alumni association of the University.
Georges was selected from a number of American artists. Examples of each artists’ work were shown in slide form to the Alumni Committee and the Fine Apts Committee who are represented by Massin, Art Department Chairman Dr. Andrew Morgan, Lowe Art Museum Director John J. Barattee and Staff Architect Charles J. Cotterman.
The committees wanted an established artist capable of portraying the character of the sitter in addition to the rendering of his physical features. “Paul Georges is a recognized professional artist thus it (the portrait) is a higher
than average concept of a portrait,” Massin said.
"The Portrait was not intended to he a photographic likeness; we wanted a work of art and that’s what we got,” Davison said.
“A layman like myself may not appreciate something that is not a photographic likeness. Several photographic likenesses of past administrators are on the wall collecting dust," Davison said.
“Money for the portrait was raised by a funds drive on a low-key basis. We asked for donations from friends of the university that admired President Stanford.” Davison said.
“Donations did not come from just one group. Students, alumni, faculty and administration made donations ranging from $1 to $500," Davison said.
“The people who donated were the same people who donate money for everything else at the university. These people have great concern for President Stanford and the university," he said.
“President Stanford was very reluctant to spend money this way. He thought the money could be put to a better use,” Davison said.
“The alumni insisted on having my portrait painted ... 1 tried to get out of it," President Stanford said.
