Music Therapy Program Accredited
The National Association of Schools of Music’s Commission on Graduate Studies, at its June meeting, approved the University’s M.M. in music therapy degree.
The main goals of music therapy are to improve socially acceptable behavior and change behavior at all ages and levels of mental illness. UM is one of only six schools in the country which offers a Master of Music in music therapy as well as a B.A. with a specialty in music therapy.
Currently, the curriculum has 48 undergraduates and seven graduate students.
“It takes a special kind of person to
become a music therapist,” said Constance Willeford, assistant professor of music. Sie went on to explain that students in this curriculum must possess a great deal of emotional stability and be prepared to work with people of all ages and mental levels, including retarded children and adults, emotionally disturbed adolescents and unfulfilled senior citizens.
Mrs. Willeford joined UM in 1973 as director of the music therapy program. She was formerly director of ¿he music therapy department at Parsons State Hospital and Training Center, Parsons, Kansas.
The field of music therapy is so unique that each new class of students
specializing in music therapy is given a clinical orientation during the first semester, which includes tours of local mental institutions and training and detention centers. “We want to make sure that the students know what they’re getting into,” said Mrs. Willeford. “We can’t have them go through four years of school and then find out that music therapy isn’t for them.”
Each subsequent semester students must do volunteer work at local institutions. During the final year, each student spends a six-month clinical internship at a facility approved by the National Association for Music Therapy.

Bequest Enriches Education
UM-United Way Campaign Opens
Dr. Henry King Stanford opened the 1974 United Way campaign at UM with a kickoff luncheon in the Ibis Cafeteria September 19.
This year’s goal is $92,700, about two percent less than last year’s. The University reached 94 percent of its goal in the 1973 campaign. Dr. Stanford hopes that, despite the spectre of inflation which looms large this year, we can meet our goal.
Guest speaker at the kickoff luncheon was James McLamore, chairman of the Dade County United Way campaign, member of the UM Board of Trustees and ° chairman of the board of Burger King.
Robert Fuerst, assistant dean of the faculties and associate UM campaign chairman, said: “By cutting administrative costs in the United Way from 13 to 9 percent, more dollars of contributors are going directly into the participating programs. The nine percent administrative figure is the lowest in the U.S.”
Last year, the UM family received more than $91,000 in support from United Way programs. Of this, $30,000 was for the UM/Canterbury Child Care Center and $25,000 for the Coconut Grove Family Center.
Ten proposals from departments in the College of Arts and Sciences to improve undergraduate education have been approved and funded by a bequest of $250,000 in the will of the late John D. Hertz, Jr.
From a total of 40 proposals submitted to the Dean of the College, the 10 granted funding by the University review committee and the Hertz trustees are:
•	Establishment of a Hertz Computer Laboratory on the ground floor of Merrick Building to facilitate instruction in computer science and also to be available for individual student and faculty research. This “hands on” computer and auxiliary equipment, already in operation, is said to be the finest installation of its kind in the south.
•	Installation of a new laboratory on the ground floor, Cox Science Building, assigned to the department of geology.
•	Purchase of multilith press and accessories, photo reproduction equipment and facilities for work in graphics for the students of the art department. Most of the equipment has arrived and is in use in the art building.
•	Installation of a darkroom in Building T-82for instruction in photo journalism and photographic processes for the department of communications.
t Installation of a cartographic labo-

•	Purchase of sets of replicas of ancient artifacts, skulls and bones, for the study of prehistoric development of man and animals by students in the departments of biology and anthropology.
•	Library acquisitions for all departments in the College.
•	Furnishing and renovation of a Hertz Room for seminars and con-
