PhD in Business a milestone for UCF Approval by the Board of Regents of a

UCF doctoral program in Business Administ rat ion is "a milestone in the making of a great ins t i tu t ion, " President Trevor Colbourn said fo l lowing last month's board action.

"We want to recognize and appre­ciate the leadership of Chairman Terrell Sessums and Regent Joan Ruffier in this achievement , " he said.

Colbourn viewed authorization as "a signif icant measure of recognit ion for theco l lege that wi l l assist in efforts to attract and recruit outstanding faculty members . " He said that all programs in Business Administ rat ion should benefit f rom a doctoral program.

"The success would not have been possible wi thout strong communi ty support, and it is wor th noting that wel l over a mil l ion dollars has been raised locally to help fund i t , " Colbourn said.

" In tu rn , the communi ty w i l l benefit f rom the enhancement of the educa­t ional opportunit ies provided by Central Florida's state universi ty."

The board, meeting in Tampa on Oct. 24, authorized UCF to implement the program as early as next August. The actual start-up wi l l be the top item on the agenda today when department chairmen and other administrat ive officers of the College of Business Administ rat ion meet.

Dean Clifford Eubanks said this pro­gram has been under consideration for the last 12 years. Planning began in earnest in 1979, the BOR approved a formal feasibil i ty study in July of 1984 and authorized formal planning in July 1985.

Unti l the implementat ion authoriza­t ion was given to UCF, and the Univer­sity of South Florida on the same day,

Robert Kersten to relinquish position of Engineering dean

Dr. Robert D. Kersten, dean of the College of Engineering since its forma­t ion in 1968, w i l l rel inquish the post in August 1987. Kersten, 59, has requested a professional development leave when he steps down and said he would return to teaching and research duties at UCF in the Fall of 1988.

Under Kersten's leadership, UCF's College of Engineering enrol lment has rocketed f rom 184 students in the char­ter year of operation to some 3,000 today, making it larger than 80 percent of the nation's engineering schools. The College of Engineering today offers some 27 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, compared to six in its f irst year of operation.

Last year, the Engineering College completed a move into a new 1 20,000-square-foot complex containing offices, classrooms and more than 40 special­ized laboratories housing equipment valued at nearly $8-mi l l ion.

"You have been the founding dean of one of the strongest professional schools on the UCF campus," President Trevor Colbourn wrote to Kersten in acknowledgement of the dean's deci-

R O B E R T K E R S T E N

sion. "Under your leadership, the Col­lege of Engineering has emerged as one of the best in the Southeast, thanks in part to the Five Year Enhancement Plan for wh ich you were so vigorous an advocate. We are all indebted to you for your many contr ibut ions to the Univer­sity as a whole and to engineering as a discipline wh ich has had and wi l l con­t inue to have crit ical importance to Cen­tral Florida."

Kersten gained bachelor 's and mas­ter's degrees f rom Oklahoma State Uni­versity and received a PhD f rom Northwestern University in f luid mechanics. He devotes interest and t ime to engineering at the state and national levels.

Kersten serves on the executive committee of the Engineering Accredi­tation Commission as vice-chairman of operations and wi l l become chai rman-elect next year. He also chairs the Engi­neering Education Task Force, a consor­t ium made up of four national engineering organizations. The Task Force seeks to increase federal funding for engineering education. Kersten recently stepped down as chairman of the Florida Board of Professional Engineers.

A national search wi l l be conducted to f ind a successor.

Phonathon pledges come to $42 ,413

The three weeks' phonathon to raise money for individual colleges brought in a total of $42,413 in pledges.

The effort to gain support f rom a lumni who had never given before was oper­ated by volunteer faculty, students and a lumni between Oct. 3 and 23.

A pleasant surprise, Tom Watkins, director of the Annual Fund, reported, is that 64 percent of those reached made pledges. A lumni total ing 1,723 pledged an average of $25.36, he said.

This was the f irst phonathon attemp­ted to get pledges directly to colleges. The tradit ional University-wide phona­thon wi l l be held in March.

only Florida and Florida State had doc­toral programs in business.

Eubanks commented, "Approval by the Regents recognizes our readiness to implement this program, as wel l as the high quality of the Business Admin is t ra­t ion faculty and our existing excellent graduate and undergraduate business programs. We view this program appro­val as another major achievement in the cont inuing development of this f ine University.

"The level of private f inancial support shown for this program is another indi­cation of our special relat ionship w i th the Central Florida communi ty . This support unquestionably, over the long term, wi l l have a very positive impact on our col lege." -

Brian Rungeling, chai rman of Eco­nomics, chaired the college planning commit tee responsible for the program proposals. Among data compiled was a list of 174 potential students for the program.

The program wi l l be a tradit ional one,

call ing for a m in imum of 60 hours of semester credits beyond the masters degree. Initially the program wi l l con­centrate on Account ing and Finance fields, wh i le other fields in business wi l l be offered as minors.

Seven addit ional faculty positions for the program are to be added over the next several years and graduate assist-antships wi l l be made available to doc­toral program candidates.

In another action the BOR approved UCF's three-year PECO project priority list. The year 1987-88 includes $700,000 for equipment in CEBA-II, the Business Administ rat ion bui lding funded for construct ion this year at $9 mi l l ion; plus $271,000 for remodeling the old Engineering Bui lding, and $200,000 for planning an Art Complex.

Year 1988-89 provides $2.6 mi l l ion to build the Art Complex and the fo l lowing year, 1989-90, provides $200,000 to equip it. Other th i rd year funding includes $752,000 to remodel the Chemistry Bui lding, $848,000 to remodel Howard Phill ips Hall and $500,000 for a campus security facil i ty.

Al l PECO projects are approved sub­ject to legislative funding.

Another i tem of interest to UCF was a Florida Optometric Association proposal to the board's program commit tee that an optometry program be started at . UCF. The commit tee referred the prop­osal to its staff for study.

OPEN THE DOOR — The f i lm opens w i th Ron Masak ruining three communicat ion opportunit ies: one w i th his boss, one w i th an employee, and yet another w i th his son. Wondering where he went wrong, he next f inds himself attending Bill Welp's communicat ion seminar. Hearing, but not believing, Masak invites Welp to his home to further discuss the "O.P.E.N." system — only this t ime in relation to the three tough communicat ion problems he faced earlier. By the end of the f i lm, he's not only learning how to use the system, but he's also successfully put that knowledge to work w i th his boss, employee, and son. (28 mins.)

ONE SMALL STEP — After a brief introduction by James Whi tmore, the f i lm opens w i th a series of scenes catching people in the act of being rude or uncooperative. "Our wor ld and welcome to i t , " sighs Whi tmore, as he next introduces a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds that typify the sometimes rude and indifferent wor ld we live in. Whi tmore then invites those people caught in the opening scenes to take another look at their actions and the wor ld these actions create. Together, Whi tmore, Dr. Roderic Gorney, and the rest of the cast offer viewers a variety of practical steps to take to make this wor ld a better place in which to work and live.

Preppy Handbook author Birnbach to appear here

Lisa Birnbach, whose off-beat look at college life materialized as The Official Preppy Handbook, w i th 1.4 mil l ion in sales, wi l l bring her particular brand of humor to UCF on Thursday, Nov. 13.

Her comedy show at 8 p.m. in the UCF Student Center Audi tor ium is free and open to the public. A question and answer session wi l l fo l low, preceding a reception for everyone who attends.

Since hitt ing the best-seller list in 1 9 8 1 , Birnbach has visited nearly 300 college campuses, interviewed some 2,500 students and mailed or handed out 5,000 questionnaires.

Birnbach graduated from Brown Uni­versity in 1978 w i th honors in English. She has contr ibuted articles to Rolling Stone, TV Guide, Travel & Leisure, Washington Post, and Parade. She has appeared on MTV, "The Today Show, " and "Latenight w i th David Let terman."

The atmosphere only a college or university can offer is what Vivian Parries sought when she moved f rom Nashville to Orlando 14 years ago.

And an agreeable nature to match her environment played a large part in her selection as Employee of the Month for November. One of her own student assistants nominated this administrat ive secretary to the dean of Extended Studies for the honor.

Mark Luba wrote, "Viv ian cares a lot about the way our office, and the University, present themselves to the students in our Cont inuing Education programs. She is fun to work w i th and a good f r i end . "

"Good f r i end " is how others describe her. "The one thing I would say about Vivian is that she is just as lovely on the inside as she is on the out , " is the way a regular luncht ime companion, Marty Rouse, described her.

Another noon hour companion and former coworker, Iris Salazar, called her, "a sweet person, a pleasure to know. "

When the Parries fami ly lived at Nashville Vivian worked at Middle Tennessee State University and at Belmont College, liked the atmosphere of those campuses and when the fami ly moved to the Azalea Park area she toured the UCF campus and liked what she saw.

Vivian began work ing for UCF 121/2 years ago as a clerk typist in Purchasing and later was promoted to bid clerk. She has served in University Relations and Computer Services, accepting a promotion 2Vi years ago to her present posit ion.

"The work is hectic at t imes, there's a lot of pressure, but I enjoy i t , " Vivian said in describing what she does. She assists in sett ing up the many conferences staged to fur ther adult education.

Extended Studies acts as the service

Star athletes air views on sports/study

The director of the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University and former Boston Celtics basketball star and coach Tom (Satch) Sanders wi l l tackle the issue of the exploitation of college athletes Nov. 6 at the f irst in a series of universi ty-wide, interdiscipl inary colloquia.

Richard E. Lapchick, the center director, and Sanders, wi l l offer their views on how colleges and universit ies may improve upon a graduation rate of around 30 percent for athletes participating in major sports. The session tomorrow starts at 3 p.m. in UCF's Physics and Health Building and the public is invited.

Lapchick, the son of the late coach Joe Lapchick of St. John's University, formed the center in 1 984 to deal w i th the reality that academic preparation is critical even for athletes who make the step into professional sports. Under . Lapchick's prodding, some 11 colleges and universit ies have joined a consort ium that al lows ex-college athletes who have left school wi thout graduating to complete their education — either tui t ion-free or w i th tui t ion assistance. In return, the athletes, including some professional sports f igures, visit junior and senior high schools to persuade athletes there to concentrate on academic studies.

agency for other colleges of the University. When Music and Education stage the Children's Music Workshop Extended Studies does the detail work, coordinating t ime, site, invitat ions and all else that make a large gathering run smoothly.

The cheerleaders f rom far and wide who populate the campus during the summer, f ind their t raining sessions a great fun t ime, especially since the details of their housing and eating are taken care w i thout a thought by them.

The annual Governor's Conference is another big event that is months in the planning. It, of course, takes place off campus, as so many activities do that Extended Studies administers.

On top of her personal involvement in assisting in conference staging, Vivian must certify the office payroll, collect t ime cards, parcel work out to a clerk typist and two student assistants.

Aside f rom work Vivian gets a great deal of pleasure f rom singing in her church choir, and f rom her hobbies of playing the piano, bowl ing, biking and driving golf balls on the range. (She's stil l working up to the point of playing golf.)

Teleconference to air AIDS panel

UCF wi l l have one of two receiving sites in Florida when a national telecon­ference airs a panel of experts discuss­ing the disease AIDS.

The educational program wi l l be seen on screen and heard at 220 sites on Friday, Nov. 14. Larry Hudson, assistant professor of Vocational Education, has arranged the UCF viewing at the Stu­dent Activit ies Center between 2 and 4:15 p.m. He asks anyone wish ing to attend to preregister by call ing x2939.

Panelists wi l l be Mervyn Si lverman, MD, president, Amer ican Foundation for AIDS Research; Constance Wofsky, MD, assistant chief of Infectious Diseases, San Francisco General Hospital; Nancy Click, RN, president, Association of Practit ioners in Infection Control and a hospitalized AIDS patient.

Pulmonary Group plan to have the cam­paign truck used to promote no smoking pledges on campus between noon and 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20. Everyone wi l l ing to give up smokes for one day wi l l be encouraged to sign their names on the side of the truck.

Recycling dollars works just fine to cover cash lag Question: When does $41,500 in funds add up to nearly $500,000? Answer: When the dollars are recycled in the course of a year to provide some 3,175 individual loans to UCF students facing short- term f inancial emergencies.

During 1 985-86, some $41,500 pro­vided over the years by the University Club of Orlando for the purpose of help­ing students meet emergency obliga­tions ballooned to a total loan value of $476,265 as students repaid their loans and new ones were made.

As a result of a 1 986 contr ibut ion of $7,400 from the Orlando University Club, the short- term loan fund has grown to $48,900.
