By Gariot Louisna
Editor in Chief
After a five-month search, Dr. Donna Shalala, Secretary of Health and Human Services, has been confirmed as the next president of the University of Miami.
Shalala will replace Edward T. Foote, II, when he steps down at the end of the academic year. She will be the University’s fifth president. She is the first woman to lead the University of Miami. Her term begins June 1,2001.
Since the presidential search began, the Cleveland-born Shalala, 59, has been on top of the list of potential candidates for the position, said Ambassador Charles Cobb. Cobb led the search committee that suc-

cessfully recruited Shalala, a woman considered by some to be the nation’s leading academic.
It was not until last week that the search committee began vigorously negotiating with Shalala and she became a candidate for the position. While other prominent public figures had been considered, Shalala was the only candidate approved by a unanimous vote of the consulting and search committees, Cobb said.
By 9 p.m. Friday, Shalala was offered and accepted, the University Presidency, Cobb said. The Board of

Possible demolition stirs animosity
Administration cracks
'«À
down on violations
Part two of two

Inside the now-beleaguered first floor of the University of Miami’s Art Building last Monday, Lise Drost, professor of printmaking stood in an equipment-filled printmaking room.
Drost had two printmaking rooms before the closing of the second floor Art Building. In addition to the art history and design courses, and half of the faculty offices, the second floor had also housed all of the drawing courses.
Drost volunteered her other printmaking room to serve as a

drawing classroom.
“It’s a little tight in here,” said Dross looking around at the five large presses and the metal drying rack.
“I don’t know where we’re going to put the students. They’ve been generous about giving us equipment,” she added, smiling.
'Differed Maintenance'
Drost said that rumors about the condition of the Art Building had been flying ever since poles were put in place over month ago to shore up the outside hallway’s roof.
Now, she’s among faculty distressed by the current situation.
“How long will all this craziness last?” Drost said. “They’re telling us we have to be out by May, but no
one knows where we’re going to be.”
“We hope they can save the Building, because the spaces are really well-suited for what we do. We can mess it up and no one cares,” she said.
Drost added that it was important for the Department not to be broken up and scattered across campus in different facilities, since the different art fields regularly overlap and students working beyond class hours will casually snag whatever professor is nearby for help on projects.
“Of course there's animosity,” said Drost, addressing another issue in all this: the relationship between art faculty and the administration who decided to close off
the second floor.
“They couldn’t wait one more month? It’s not like we were hit by an earthquake. I’ve already lost a week of classes and am in the process of losing two.”
Next door to the Art Building, stands the Fainting Annex, another of Marion Manly’s 1946 constructions.
The Annex-and the nearby “Photo Shack”-appear to be unaffected by the Art Building’s rout problems for any number of reasons, say architects. Chief among those reasons is the structures are smaller than the Art Building.
Inside, Drost led the way to a back room, past a class full ot peo-

Report: Officials handle 49 cases during October
By William James Gong
Hurricane Staff Writer
In the most recent University of Miami Monthly Discipline Report released by campus officials, there were 49 total disciplinary cases in the month of October, which more then doubled the number of cases from the same period last year.
The case number was higher this October. According to the report it was almost twice the number the school has had prior to the month.
The big increases come in disciplinary warnings and strict disciplinary probation.
Alcohol related cases have also increased, with the total number of cases seen this year up 22, according to the report.
Campus officials said they are not worried about the increase in disciplinary cases and said the number of cases changes from year to year. Officials attribute this year’s increase in cases to the increase of new students, new resident coordinators and new resident assistants that are cracking down on minor violations.
