I R I T A 5 Tha Weelily FEBRUARY 26, 1962 Office of Public Information Vol. 2F**“1 NO. 2(2 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS BUDGET REVISION FOR FACULTY SALARIES In a statement to VERITAS, UM iruste^Uscar Dooly, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, explains the upward revision in budget for faculty salaries which caused delay in sending out contracts. Following is the text of Mr. Dooly1s statement: "To answer various questions which have been raised by members of the faculty, the delay in sending out faculty contracts, which began going into the mail February 22, was due to changes made by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at the time of final study of proposed figures February 5. "Among the budget revisions approved by the committee was a recommendation that additional funds be made available for faculty salary increases beyond the amount originally budgeted. This recommendation was approved and made available a total of approximately $400,000 for these increases in the new year. "This change naturally required time for the deans to study the new figures in order that individual merit of faculty members could be recognized by upward salary adjustments." BUSINESS EDITORS ENJOY TROPIC LUNCH, Last Wednesday some 30 business and financial MEET TRUSTEES, HEAR OF UM'S GAINS editors of newspapers and magazines toured UM’s campus, lunched in the Great Lounge with top UM officials and members of the Board of Trustees. First taken to the top of Ashe for a panoramic view of the campus, the visitors then were guided by a dean-picked bevy of women students to University College where Roy J. Johnston, director of communications services, gave a demonstration of teaching by television and explained other techniques in use at UC. Paced by their guides the editors footed it via Merrick to 720 where they partook of a tropical buffet, prepared by Slater Food Services under the watchful eyes of Ray Davis, director, and Dorothy Johnson, assistant director. Surprise of the menu, which ran the gastronomical gamut from frozen lychee nuts to key lime pie, was cooked green papaya. Following the meal, which several editors were heard to say "was better than our hotel's food," Dean Myers, as m.c., introduced Trustees Mahoney, Dooly, Whitten and Gautier, and other UM officials. Dr. Pearson was unable to be present because of a previous engagement as a member of Gov. Bryant's Council of 100, meeting at the same hour at Miami Beach. Bill Cornell, USG president, welcomed visitors on behalf of students, told how students had voluntarily assessed themselves to help build the Otto G. Richter Library, expand the student union and provide an endowed chair of international relations. Dr. Irving E. Muskat, vice president of research, in a ten minute talk, summarized the opportunities for industry in South Florida and emphasized the pioneering which UM is doing to provide research scientists and facilities to attract and serve industries. Said Dr. Muskat, "Fortunately the type of industries that are not only compatible with our tourism, but would also contribute greatly to our economic and cultural growth are now available to us because of the space age industries which have been attracted to Florida. The basic raw material for such industries is brain-power. This is the problem to which the University of Miami has addressed itself." Climax of the program was an address by Dr. Johns. In twelve terse minutes he outlined the unique achievements, opportunities and aims of UM. Said Dr. Johns: "Of the major universities established in the 20th Century, the University of Miami is the only one which has achieved its present position without the aid of either church or state support. Indeed, it represents an accomplishment of private enterprise applied to higher education perhaps better than any other institution in the United States. We believe that our contribution to this community of one million people has kept pace with its growth. We commit ourselves to the continued struggle for quality, to maintain our position of leadership, not only in the community, but in the nation and in the world. Today the University of Miami is one of the nation's good universities. Ten years from today we expect to be one of the great universities of the western hemisphere." The program for the editors’ visit was arranged by Spacemen Bulat and Charlton in cooperation with Dick Rundell of the Miami-Dade County Chamber of Commerce. A number of C of C officials, headed by William D. Singer, president of the Industrial Development Council, accompanied the editors. RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK STARTS SUNDAY FULL PROGRAM ARRANGED FOR OBSERVANCE One of the most comprehensive programs ever undertaken for Religious Emphasis Week at UM will get underway Sunday, March 4, under direction of Dr. Lynn Bartlett. Dinners and other events will kick off the week on opening day in religious organizations on campus. A corps of 17 speakers will be available for classroom and other talks. Dr. Gilbert G. Farley, scheduling director, reports more than 50 classroom engagements. Among the week's main speakers will be Dr. Hans Hoffman, Harvard theology professor, and the Rev. Malcolm Boyd, Wayne State U. chaplain.
