OI Women’s Commission honors Finkelstein University of Miami alumna Audrey Finkel-stein received the May A. Brunson Award for outstanding contributions toward improving the status of women at the University. The award, which honors the University’s second dean of women, was presented by the UM Women’s Commission at its seventh annual breakfast, March 28. Long active in the areas of education and community relations, Finkelstein has been honored by numerous local and national organizations. A cum laude graduate, class of 1938, she has given her time to the University’s Women’s Commission, Women’s Guild, College of Arts and Sciences and Alumni Association. In 1971 Finkelstein received the University’s Order of Merit. President Henry King Stanford was cited at the breakfast for his efforts to advance the status of women. Frances Tarlton (Sissy) Farenthold, president of Wells College, was the guest speaker. A former Texas legislator and law professor, Farenthold said she had wanted to visit the UM after reading President Stanford’s 1978 statement that sexist remarks would not be tolerated at the University of Miami. Walton names associate «leans foi* business school Appointment of two new associate deans in the UM School of Business Administration has been announced by Dr. Gary M. Walton, dean of the School. Dr. Nicholas A. Glaskowsky, Jr. was named associate dean of graduate programs and research, and Dr. Harold W. Berkman was named associate dean of executive and special programs. AFiimialivc action seminar to be held Apr. 16 President Stanford will open the Special Seminar on Affirmative Action 1980 at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Apr. 16, in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Whitten Student Union. The seminar, specifically planned for the University Council of Administrators, will discuss the recent changes in federal contract compliance enforcement and the University’s efforts to streamline its compliance system. Affirmative Action Director Ted Nichols commented that Dr. Stanford has long been a leader in the fight for equal opportunity and put the University of Miami in the forefront of affirmative action efforts by establishing the Office of Affirmative Action Programs in 1970- Topics to be discussed include Executive Order 11246-Utilization and Underutilization, Monitoring System, Complaint Management. Title IX, Position Posting, Good Faith Search; Group Interaction, and Affirmative Action Committees. Dean Walton stressed that the restructuring will enable the School "to bring into even sharper focus its plans for further expansion into new programs and increased attention to scholarly research activity.” Dr. Glaskowsky, professor of general business management and organization, has been director of the School’s international and overseas program. Dr. Berkman, professor of general business management and organization, has been director for executive and special programs. Replacing Dr. Glaskowksy as director of the international and overseas program is Dr. Donald R. Hudson, associate professor of general business management and organization, who has been serving as associate director. Dr. Glaskowsky has been with the UM since 1974; his specialities include business strategy and policy, and transportation and logistics. He received the School’s Outstanding Teaching award in 1976 and 1978, and in 1979 he was given the School’s Recognition Award for Excellence in Published Research. Dr. Glaskowsky is chairman of the University Academic Planning Committee. Dr. Berkman serves as executive vice president and director, Academy of Marketing Science, and is its 1980 conference chairman. He is associate editor of t\\e Journal of the Academy of ¿Marketing Science. The Academy presented him with a Distinguished Service Award in 1979- Dr. Hudson most recently served a year on the Fulbright-Hays Lectureship Award as the Bicentennial Chairholder at the School of Business, National University of Mexico. International energy experts to meet at IJM Prominent researchers from 18 countries will meet Apr. 28 - May 2 at the UM to discuss passive and low' energy developments as part of a project sponsored by the Department of Energy' through the Southern Solar Energy Center, Atlanta, Ga. The International Expert Group Meeting on Passive and Low' Energy Cooling, Heating and Dehumidification is being organized by Arthur Bowen, School of Engineering and Architecture, as part of a larger D.O.E. project begun in January. Bow'en received a S60,000 grant to provide the government with specific recommendations for global research and development in passive energy applications. The international expert group meeting is the first major part of the program. The brainstorming sessions will establish the state-of-the-art in various passive and low energy cooling, heating and dehumidification systems. Position papers prepared by the invited experts will be distributed before the meeting for group discussion. Prof. Bowen will prepare the final report with recommendations for passive energy applications for the U.S. and research and development priority ratings of projects. Passive energy systems involve the use of simple non-mechanical energy and low technology systems to utilize natural sources such as the sun or wind. Passive solar energy applications are symbiotic w ith the sun—that is they take advantage of naturally occuring conditions. "Passive energies do not prtxluce high energy concentrations the way activé systems can,” says Bowen, "but they are much more energy efficient and usually less expensive. "Most of the passive solar work has been in heating because the problems encountered are more easily solved,” says Bowen. "There is now a need to get the research and development going for passive Mini* named to diabetes research chair Testing of devices which would relieve children w ith diabetes of the necessity of injecting insulin into their bodies with hypodermic needles is one of the research objectives of the UM School of Medicine. These and other basic and applied investigations, including an adv anced program in transplantation, at the Diabetes Research Institute will be supported by a million-dollar donation by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Dr. Daniel H. Mintz, scientific director of the institute and interim chairman of the department of medicine, will occupy the chair endowed by the Foundation. The institute is a multidisciplinary research effort by 30 physicians supported by a staff of 50 to 60. Announcement of the chair endow ment was made by Foundation Executive Director Myron A. Berezin, w ho said that "the chair insures emphasis on diabetes research and guarantees that the great progress made in recent years w ill continue.” He credited Robert S. Held, Sr., chairman of the board of governors; Nathan Esformes, chairman of the board; Kenneth Harpie, vice president at large; and Executive Board members Dr. Eugene Fierer and Charles Royal w ith raising money. applications in cooling and dehumidification.” Not all passive energy’ systems involve new' technology or principles. According to Bowen, passive cooling methods in arid and humid regions have been practiced for centuries in vernacular settlements all over the world. "For example, evaporative cooling is commonplace in India and Africa, while several Mid-East countries—Iran, Pakistan, Egypt—cool effectively with w ind towers,” he explains. "These tow’ers go through a 24-hour heating and cooling cycle by naturally forcing air to flow over water. The same principles can be applied with relatively little technology to create an efficient cooling system.” In addition to discussing available techniques and processes, the researchers will identify and record significant buildings, communities, developments, systems and research promoting the use of passive and low energy’ methods. The expert meeting will be directed by Prof. Bowen and Mike Maybaum, Conservation and Solar Energy' Division, U.S. Department of Energy. The sessions will be held at the UM’s Center for Advanced International Studies on the Coral Gables campus. Although the five-day meeting is by invitation only, a one-day workshop will be held May 3 on an extended invitation basis. Many of the participating experts are expected to make shorter £-resentations for this session. Follow ing the expert meeting, Bowen will meet with the Passive Gx>Iing Com-mittee of the American Section of the International Solar Energy Association (ISES), May 3-5. The eleven representatives from the sunbelt states will begin planning for the national convention w hich will be held in Miami, March 1981. Attendance for the convention is estimated at 1,500. Dr. Mintz added that "a basic ongoing investigation of the requirements for the grow th of insulin-producing cells hopefully should provide insight into the cause of diabetes and also a method of banking insulin-producing tissue into individuals w ith diabetes is well on its way.” He said, "such an effort requires many disciplines working in a concerted, coordinated multidisciplinary’ research program. The initial components of this program are already in place and working.”
