              Ted Nichols Is Title IX Coordinator
Ted Nichols
Ted Nichols, director of affirmative action programs for UM, has assumed the additional title of Title IX coordinator of the UM self-evaluation study required by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
In announcing the appointment, President Henry King Stanford noted the University has adopted the following policy statement regarding Title IX:
“It is the policy of the University of Miami not to discriminate on the basis
of sex in its educational programs, activities or employment practices as required by Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments.”
Working with Mr. Nichols will be „ the following members of the steering committee for the self-evaluation policy committee, also appointed by Dr. Stanford:
Dr. Clyde Wingfield, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs;
Dr. John Green Jr., executive vice
president for administration and finance;
Dr. Shepard Faber, chairman, Faculty Senate;
Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs, and
Dr. Emanuel Papper, vice president for medical affairs.
Inquiries regarding compliance with Title IX may be directed to Mr. Nichols in the office of the president at 284-3064.
Summer Roll Was Up in 76
If Mark Bisnow, supervisor of landscaping, has the look of a proud father about him, the reason is a nursery full of healthy young Surinam cherry plants in the physical plant’s front yard. Mr. Bisnow thanks the faculty and staff members who donated seeds for the campus beautification project last spring and predicts the 11,000 shrubs will be worth close to $15,000 by transplanting time next summer. He estimates the shrubbery project will cost UM about $600.
Library Acquisition Budget Increased
The Otto G. Richter Library acquisition budget for books, periodicals and bindings has been increased by $140,000 for 1976-77 through a new $100,000 fixed-cost provision in the academic affairs budget and a $40,000 one-time allocation from the president’s discretionary budget.
Announcing the budget increase effective June 1, Dr. Sidney L. Besvi-nick, acting vice president for academic affairs, said he hoped the $100,000 increase could be augmented by additional cumulative increments of $100,000 in each of the coming four years (for a total increase of $400,000 by 1979-80) to bring the library acquisition budget “back up to a reasonable percentage of University expenditures.”
The additional library funds, the first acquisition increase since 1972-73, will bring the Richter acquisition budget this year to $397,467, still short of the $487,010 requested by library director Dr. Archie McNeal. (Dr. Besvinick’s acquisitions increment plan would bring that budget to $697,467 by 1979-80.)
“Let me emphasize that we are most grateful for the increase,” Dr. McNeal said in June, “but we still have
-...... \ 1
a long way to go in terms of funding for books and periodicals.”
UM budgets for books, periodicals and binding over the past 10 years have averaged from 2.5 to 2.8 per cent of education and general university funding, Dr. Besvinick said. In separate interviews, he and Dr. McNeal agreed a reasonable library-to-general-university funding ratio would be closer to five per cent.
This is the ratio recommended by the American Library Association and was the recommendation to UM of the Southern Association of Colleges in its 1965 visiting committee report.

The 1976-77 Richter acquisition request was made, Dr. McNeal said, based on purchase requests on hand, standing purchase commitments and annual inflation rates of 15 per cent for periodicals and 12 per cent for books.
Some $66,000 of this year’s budget is allocated for binding periodicals, with $240,000 requested for books and $181,000 for periodical subscriptions.
The $40,000 president’s budget allocation, Dr. McNeal said, will be used to fill faculty purchase requests on hand as of June, 1976.
