              Spring enrollment shows increase from 1970
Registrar Sidney Weisburd has issued the 1980 spring enrollment report which shows a slight increase over the 1979 spring enrollment and a slight decrease from the fall of 1979.
The total number of students taking courses for credit dropped from the fall 1979 enrollment of 15,449 to 15,107 in the spring semester. However, the spring 1980 enrollment figure of 15,107 is a 5.7 percent increase over the spring semester 1979 of 14,293.
Weisburd said the normal attrition between any fall and spring semester is usually eight to ten percent. For both last year and the current year, the enrollment decline between the fall and spring semester has been only 2.2 percent.
Or. William R. Butler, vice president for student affairs, said "Our enrollment picture is most encouraging and reflects the success of our University’s communitywide efforts in developing very successful recruitment and retention programs.”

Behavioral research lal> approved
It’s not only children who have a hard time sticking to prescribed medical treatment. Adults, too, need and are getting help from the psychologist, a relatively new member of the treatment team.
Training and research into behavioral medicine—the partnership of the physician and the psychologist—is the task of the UM’s psychology department. It has received conditional approval for construction of a behavioral medicine research building on the Coral Gables campus from the UM trustees.
According to the National Academy of Science, behavioral medicine is "the interdisciplinary field concerned with the development and integration of behavioral science knowledge and techniques relevant to health and illness.” It also includes the application of this knowledge and techniques to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
Heading the UM program is Dr. Neil Schneiderman. A Fellow of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine, he is principal investigator in a five-year training grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in behavioral medicine research in cardiovascular disease. Schneiderman is nationally known for his research on neurobehavior and the cardiovascular system.
Dr. Clyde Hendrick, psychology chairman, said the proposed facility" will complement the department's recent emphasis on health-related behavior graduate programs.
"Basic research into behavioral medicine,” Hendrick said, "could involve human
research into psychophysiological processes possibly underlying coronary prone behavior and animal research of the processes behind cardiovascular pathology.”
Hendrick said clinical and basic research involving medical procedures will continue
to take place in University-affiliated hospitals.
With $276,000 allocated for construction costs, additional funds for the proposed S800.000 building are being sought from foundations and alumni.
