This conference will feature a total of six concerts, four of them consisting of works by many differ- ent composers performed by a variety of individuals and groups. These will be held in Gusman Hall at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday and 4 p.m. on Friday. Nearly every department of the music school will be getting into the act in these concerts.

The University of South Florida in Tampa is also providing performers including their wind ensemble. Other guest artists include David Burge, well-known pianist and champion of contemporary music from the F.astman School of Music; the Shenandoah Trio, a piano trio from Virginia: David Gibson, cellist; and pianist Paul Hoffman. The other two concerts will be recitals by David Burge and David Gibson. Seminars and discussion will cover such varied topics as ‘‘The Timbrack”.a 4-Octave Multiple Percussion Console," "The Relevance of Music Theory Training" and "Special Effects for the Oboe." Speakers will include Earl Brown, Alfred Reed, Greg Steinke and many more. Local coordinator for the conference is Dr. Dennis Kam. UM professor of theory and composition.

All events of the conference are free and open to the public. Vandals keep dormitories in the dark By MARC FRIFDLAND Hurricai»« Staff Writar Vandalism has struck the campus of the University once again. Oliver Bonnert, business manager for the University, said that he was "quite distressed to see that after all the concern and attention that the administration has given to the lighting problem, students still vandalized the lights that were recently put up on the roof of the Maho-ney/Pearson complex.” Judy Konscol, area director for Mahoney/Pearson, said, “Vandalism has been a major issue at the complex . “It is very often that students are reported on the ledges of the roof of both buildings, despite the ample amount of warning signs present. The problem is a growing one and as of yet a solution is not in sight,” Konscol said. “What happened,” Bonnert said, •‘was that the students who vandalized the lights on the roof did not realize that by disturbing one fixture, they in turn knocked out the three other existing lights at the complex.” In answer to the students complaints, Bonnert, David Wike and various members of the Undergraduate Student Body Government took a tour of the University, surveying all the deficiently lit areas. Wike, director of Public Safety, In order to save the University money, personally went around to over 200 locations and took light meter readings of the lighting that was present. He then took four readings at each location in order to get an average reading. Bonnert reported that $20,000 was allotted for both phases of the operation. Between five and seven thousand dollars was allotted for the first phase, which encompassed lights on buildings including Maho- ney/Pearson, Merrick, Memorial and the Ferre Building. The first phase, which began In January, was just recently completed. The small black areas marked on the map indicate this first phase and represent the lights that have already been set up. “If it weren't for Wike,” Bonnert said, “a consultant to view the campus would have cost roughly $25,000 while drawing up specifications would have added another • $15.000 to the total cost.” The second phase of the operation will be to place lights in all the areas on the map that are denoted with circles. Bonnert said that the second phase will be completed by April. Also indicated on the map are the priorities under which these lights will be installed, those for the walk between the Student Union and the Graduate School being first. Another attempt to save on costs will be the attaching of pole lights worth $1,000 each onto existing poles at the Mahoney/Pearson complex. Bonnert said the entire situation Is "a very discouraging one.” “Electricians are tired of being called out so frequently to redo the work that they spent hours doing just weeks before. “Students are asked to put forth an honest effort to work together with the administration in order to alleviate some of these condition.' “Students are urged to help by reporting any broken lights or light deficient areas to Trouble Report, x-4091, giving the name and location of the area,” Bonnert said. He concluded by saying, “The program must be a cooperative one, and in order for it to be such, the students must contribute where they can.” Saban named new athletic director By JOE GLICK Sports Editor Lou Saban, UM’s head football coach, was named the school's athletic director, yesterday, succeeding Pete Elliott who resigned last week. Vice-president of Administration and Finance, Dr.John Green, made the announcement at a press conference at 4:30 p.m. in the UM faculty club. “The University of Miami Is very lucky to have two fine candidates for the position of athletic director — Lou Saban and (baseball coach) Ron Fraser,” Green said. “I spoke with both men and they both expressed interest in the job. I am happy to announce, now. that tha Board of Trustees has selected Lou Saban as the new athletic director. “The vote of the trustees, concluded 45 minutes ago. was unanimous.” Saban, the former head coach, vice-president and general manager of the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, will continue his duties as head football coach. “I will make time for both jobs,” said Saban, yesterday. “If I couldn’t do both jobs, I wouldn’t have accepted the new position. There is room for both. I will surround myself with capable people who will help me fulfill my obligations in both positions. “We will continue to strive for excellence in this program," added Saban. who was the University of Cincinnati's athletic director once for 19 days. “I will do everything I can to make this program a success. “I know it’s a big job but I have no fears. I’m pleased and proud that the trustees have given me this job and I see page 10 Homecoming applications now accepted By LEE BUTCHER and NANCY LANARD Sptcial to tho Horrtcono Cam!
