Dean Tharp Given Order Of Merit
Dr. C. Doren Tharp, vice-president for administration, was awarded the Order of Merit for his 25 years of service to the University of Miami as an Ashe dweller and as a teacher.
The award is the highest given by the university and was presented to Dr. Tharp by President Henry King Stanford at a testimonial dinner Wednesday.

Presidential Assistant Named
Mr. C. Bryce Dunham, currently Associate Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed Assistant to the President of the University of Miami, effective July 1.
Dunham has been a UM faculty member since 1953, except for a three-year term (1960-1963) when he served as Dean of Students at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.
Dr. Stanford said that Dunham will assist in the work of the president’s office.
This appointment will take some of the load off the president’s tremendously heavy schedule. Assistants to presidents are standard posts in most large institutions throughout the nation.
Dr. C. Doren Tharp, vice-president for administration, has been performing some of the duties that Dunham will be assigned by Dr. Stanford.
Some clarification of his duties came from Dunham himself: “I will be representing the office of the President and the University of Miami at functions, in correspondence, and in other ways.” He added that he considered the job “a real challenge and undoubtedly very interesting.”
Dunham received his Bachelor and Master’s degree in education at the University of Miami and taught two years at Miami Edison Senior High School before joining the UM faculty in *53.
Dr. Richard Dandeneau, an assistant professor of speech, will replace Dunham, and the title of the office will be changed to Assistant Dean.
Dandeneau, who received his PhD from Southern Illinois University, has been a member of the UM faculty since 1962.
his present position at the end the semester to take the job of gathering material for a complete history of the university. This is in preparation for the golden anniversary of the university.
Honoring Dr. Tharp at the dinner were over 350 people representing all facets of the university.
President Stanford, in paying tribute to Dr. Tharp, expressed gratitude for his aid in making the adjustment to the University of Miami when he began as president.
Fred Shaw, associate professor of English and director of guided studies, gave a Latin eulogium on Dr. Tharp’s life as an educator.
Dr. Tharp is a noted professor of English, and was at one time chairman of the University of Miami English department.
Overwhelmed at first by the presentation of the Order of Merit, Dr. Tharp regained his usual soft-spoken manner and gave an impromptu talk stating that no professor could ever stand before a captive audience without making some sort of speech.

GOOD-BYE, HELLO
Munson Sticking With UM
Dr. William B. Munson is back, but actually he didn’t leave the University of Miami at all.
Scheduled to join the administrative staff of Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, on July 1, Munson has decided to remain here.
He has resumed his previous duties as chairman of the social sciences division, history professor, and a graduate faculty member.
“After putting in 18 years at the University of Miami,” ex
+ plained the 48-year-old Munson, “I just couldn’t give it up. I feel I’ve helped in the building of the UM since I came here in 1946.”
Munson, named “ideal professor of the year” in 1956 by a Hurricane poll, gave as other reasons for remaining here his great love for teaching and his desire to be a part of a large institution. Parsons is a private college with an enrollment of 3,000.
“At Parsons, I would have been Dean of the Upper Division with little opportunity to teach. Although the salary offered me was higher, I decided money just wasn’t worth the change.”
Physical Plant Plants Plants
Have you seen the landscape men lurking around LIRC (UC, you see)?
Well, according to Matt Borek, director of the Physical Plant, it is to dress up the front of the building (or is it the back?). If you

haven't noticed, plants have the side facing the campus.
“A lot of people complained about how bare looking it was,” Borek said.
The Physical Plant also hopes to plant flora and fauna around the parking lots. All they need is a water line over to the parking area.
‘Ibis’ Gives Ringside Seat For ’64 Review
The year will pass in review Monday when the 1964 edition of the Ibis will be available.
The reviewing stand, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., will be at the Alpha Phi Omega shack directly across from the snack shack in back of the Memorial Building. Your pass for a good seat is your I.D. card. If you have been here only one semester you must pay $2.50. The books will be given out Tuesday and Wednesday, also.
The editor of the Ibis, Janet Katz, is the newly-elected editor of Tempo for next Fall. Her philosophy is: “We should not fall into the college campus shell. We must associate our lives with the outside world.” Jan feels that Tempo will provide a challenge for her.

Administrative; USG Fund Group Viewed
A $6,000 Undergraduate Student Government Lecture Series may highlight USG activities next year—provided it remains “undergraduate.”
Vice-President and Director of Community Affairs, H. Franklin Williams announced this week that the UM administration is considering a $3,000 subsidy for the lecture series.
However, USG President Lee Clifford emphasized the fact that “the students should hold the majority vote” on any administration-faculty-student committee which might be established to govern the series. “Any other plan would not be acceptable to USG,” said Clifford.
According to Dr. Williams, an administration committee which has been set up to study the proposed subsidy has recommended that there be some plurality of administration representatives on the governing committee in order to provide “the long range planning necessary to keep a high quality lecture series going.”
Clifford said on Tuesday that plans which he discussed with Dr. Williams concerning equitable representation on the governing board appeared acceptable to both the administration and student government, and noted that further work will be done to conclude the necessary j negotiations.
According to both Dr. Williams I
and Clifford, USG will put-up $3,000 for the series, and this sum will be matched by the administration.
Among those persons being considered for the lecture series for the coming year are George Wallace, Hubert Humphrey, and Stuart Udall. “These are the type of persons we would like to get for the series,” said Clifford. “We are interested' in controversial names, whether they represent the political views of USG or not”
JFK Library Drive Slated
John F. Kennedy Day has been officially announced for Wednesday, May 20, by Dr. Henry King Stanford and USG President Lee Clifford.
In observance of the day, various campus organizations will solicit funds for the Kennedy Memorial Library in the Coral Gables area, and on campus.
In sketching the plans for the day, Clifford said that tables will be set up on campus where students can contribute to the library.
To contain the latest in electronic library systems, and to house the Kennedy papers, the library will be built on two acres of land in Boston which was donated by Harvard. Estimated cost of the building is $10 million.
Prof Resigns In 3-Year-Old Dept. Quarrel
A three-year dispute in the aviation division of the University of Miami management department has ended with the resignation of Assistant Professor Robert Kane.
Kane, who founded the aviation program, will head an aerospace program at Miami-Dade
Robert Kane . . . quits UM
Junior College, effective September 1964.
Dean of the School of Business Administration Clark E. Meyers explained that the UM program could not be developed as fully as Kane would have liked and it was more suited for the junior college level.
“I feel the University of Miami should be expanding in this field of aviation administration instead of compressing,*’ said Kane.
In response to a statement by Kane that the administration is trying to push this program out of the management department curriculum, Vice-. President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculties Dr. Werner Baum said there has been no effort made in this direction whatsoever.
“The problem is not one of pushing the program out, but of not developing it,” said Dr. Baum. “The Ford Foundation and other institutes have made exhaustive studies into the interests of business communities and found the nature of business enterprise changes so rapidly that an education based on a highly specialized field can be outmoded in a relatively short time.”
Dr. Baum explained that education should be based on broad general principles, especially in the aviâtion industry which is changing every day.
