Center For Advanced
Urban
A Center for Advanced Urban Studies—in the planning stages since early in 1965—will be established at the University of Miami. The University is undertaking a search for a director who would have both practical and academic experience in the broad field of urban studies and affairs.
The Urban Center will have a three fold purpose: education, research, and community service.
Dr. J. Riis Owre, UM associate dean of the faculties, is chairman of the academic committee responsible for curriculum development within the area. A joint committee composed of community leaders concerned about urban problems and UM faculty members and administrators also will be formed to guide the operations of the Urban Center.
The proposal to form a UM Urban Affairs Center for the Southern Florida community was presented originally by Dr. David Popenoe at the first annual conference on urban affairs in March 1965. Dr. Popenoe, who had spent a month here as a consultant, conferring with UM personnel and interested local groups, is the research director of the Urban Studies Center at Rutgers University.
Top national leaders in urban affairs and some 300 Dade leaders attended this first conference sponsored jointly by the University through its Division of Continuing Education, the Planning Department of the City of Miami, the Housing Authority of Miami, the Florida South Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Metropolitan Dade County Urban Renewal Board, and the

Metropolitan Dade County Planning Department.
A second urban affairs conference was held at the University in April. 1966, for the purpose of inspiring the Southeast Florida area to become more concerned about the development of an attractive and economically healthy community environment. Again, area leaders in the fields of municipal planning and government took Part.
In announcing plans for the new Center, Dr. Stanford said: “The establishment of the Center gives further impetus to University and community efforts to understand and cope with the problems of an expanding urban environment.”
UM Receives Education Grant
UM has been awarded a $68,-995 grant by the U.S. Office of Education to sponsor an educational research training program at the first-year level of graduate work.
The objective is to train young teachers of high intellectual ability and research promise to qualify for educational research positions in federal, state and local operations, according to Dr. George Mouly, director of the Research Training Program.
Twenty students from Florida, chosen to take part in the program are enrolled in the summer course now in session and will continue with two regular semesters leading to a Master’s degree in educational research.
Folk Dancing Class
PMs by In Maun
There are many activities on campus which students can avail themselves to if they wish. Dances are held periodically and movies are shown regularly. The billiards tables are always active while the bowling alley is available to the students. Cultural activities are also available and the UM encourages its students to participate. One of the most interesting of these activities is the Folk Dancing classes. To help instruct in some of these classes, actual natives of the country where the dance originated often come. Above are some students being taught, in full costume, how lo do a Lebanese dance. These classes serve not only as an educational experience but also as a pleasurable one.
