              $500,000 Earmarked for Undergrad Enrichment
President Henry King Stanford has announced on behalf of the University of Miami Board of Trustees that the Board has authorized one half million dollars to be used for undergraduate enrichment during the current academic year. These funds are to be raised as part of a special campaign effort which was proposed to the Board by R. B. Gautier, Jr. Chairman of the Board, and are intended to supplement existing undergraduate academic programs in those areas demonstrating the greatest need of support in relationship to student participation qualitatively and quantitatively.
Receiving major portions of the funds will be the Otto G. Richter Library and a proposed Teaching Facilitation Laboratory. Other monies will be used for audio-visual and laboratory equipment, expansion of the Residential Academic Program, and for distinguished visiting lecturers who will concentrate on the enrichment of undergraduate programs.
Richter Library’s funds will provide additional support in book acquisitions and in student services. Among possible additional services are a student lounge area, an extension of library hours and services and an enlargement of video-tape cassette and other special programs. A student / faculty / administration committee will be responsible for final determination of these expenditures. Membership on the committee will come from Undergraduate Student Government, the University Library Committee and University library administrative staff.
The Teaching Facilitation Laboratory (TFL) will be a cooperative project of the Office of the Dean of Faculties, the School of Education and the Division of Communications Services. It will provide assistance to faculty members seeking help in developing instructional techniques and resources.

•	The development of experimental instructional materials which will include the formulation of independent learning packages for individualized instruction
•	Make available current sources of commercially prepared instructional materials
•	Eventually, to provide short-course training of multi-media library and resource center personnel
TFL will be available as a resource facility for instructors wishing to improve their teaching skills.
Funds for the Residential Academic Program will enable its extension to other dormitory areas.
Funds for audio-visual and laboratory equipment will be used to replace worn out and out of date equipment. Among departments receiving new equipment will be physics, biology and communications.
