FOUR NEW DEGREES	The UM inaugurated four new degree
ARE INAUGURATED	programs this fall, including one which
offers students a major change in approach to the bachelor's degree within the College of Arts and Sciences.
The new programs — Bachelor of General Studies, Master of Arts in Geography, Master of Arts in Sociology, and Doctor of Musical Arts — were announced by President Stanford following their approval by the Board of Trustees September 9.
Fundamental difference in the B.G.S. degree program is that the course requirements are minimal; 60 credits must be earned in advanced studies, that is, junior or senior courses, and no "major" is required nor will it be listed on the student's transcript. The student must, however, select 24 credits in fulfillment of the liberal arts courses required for all bachelor's degrees.
NEW DIRECTOR, CHAIRMAN FOR New heads for the Lowe Art MUSEUM, ART DEPARTMENT	Museum and department of
art have been named. John J. Baratte, who served as director of a university museum in Tennessee for the last five years, became director of the Lowe Art Museum Sept. 1. Andrew W. Morgan, president of the Kansas City Art Institute, became professor of art and chairman of the art department August 1.
They succeed Dr. August L. Freundlich, who resigned to become dean of Syracuse University's School of Art Feb. 1. While Dr. Freundlich held the joint position of department chairman and director of the Museum, the two positions are now separated.
Baratte was director of the Carroll Reede Museum of East Tennessee State University in Johnson City since 1965. Morgan headed the Kansas City school for the past 10 years.
UM's UNITED FUND	The University of Miami's campaign goal
GOAL IS $80,000	for the United Fund drive this year is
$80,000. President Stanford, campaign chairman, said, "The University is committed to the United Fund because of the high quality of services provided by United Fund agencies in the community. Close working relationships with the School of Medicine and programs of the United Health Foundation, a United Fund agency, have drawn the important support of faculty and staff members who last year exceeded the United Fund goal. Miami is our home and we are working together investing in people to make it an even better place in which to live and raise our families."
Robert I. Fuerst, Director of Academic Services, is associate campaign chairman.
The United Fund goal in Dade County is $5,414,000.
