Grades Indicate Improvement
Grades for the second semester
of 1966 showed a marked rise
over first semester grades. Again,
women have scored higher averages than the men in all of the
schools in the University. As reported by the registrar, women
had a scholastic average of 2.64
as opposed to a 2.32 average by
male students.
A   cumulative   compilation   of
grades over the years reflects
that women lead the men 2.55 to
2.29. The overall cumulative average for students in the past is
2.379. Last semester the average
for all students was 2.48, higher
than the previous semester (236)
and higher than the overall average to date. Below is a chart of

The registrar reports that there should be no problems with

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 ITM 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
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
There are many activities on campus which students can avail
themselves tn 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 to do a Lebanese dance. These classes
serve not only as an educational experience but also as a pleasurable one.
