News and Announcements for the Faculty and Staff of the University of Central Florida
Athletic teams begin fall schedules
Knight Notes
Sarah Weddington, special
assistant to President Carter,
will keynote a conference
Oct. 5-6 in Orlando sponsored
by the Central Florida
Educational Consortium for
Women (CFECW), of which
UCF is a member.
Taking "Womenpower" as its
theme, the two-day event will
explore the role of women in
government, education and
business. A series of speakers
from those areas will precede
daily "task force"
discussions among those
attending the conference.
The UCF communication department received a check for $587
from the Central Florida chapter
of Sigma Delta Chi (SDX), the
Society of Professional Journalists.
Drs. Raymond Buchanan and
Thomas Morgan accepted the check
at the Orlando Chamber of
Commerce August 17.
The SDX chapter donated the
funds to aid the UCF journalism
program. The contribution will be
to purchase encyclopedias for
use in journalism classes.
Progress report on the
University's academic
reorganization: watch the
September 10 issue of The
Chronicle of Higher
Education for ads seeking
a Vice President for Research
and Dean of Graduate Studies;
Dean of Undergraduate
Studies, and Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences.
In the event of any situation
(hurricane, explosion, or other
disaster) that may raise the
question of the university being
open, be sure to stay tuned to
local radio and television
stations. Employees and
students will be advised as to
any closing of offices via
these media.
FOOTBALL COMES TO THE UCF CAMPUS.   Try-outs began last week for UCF's new football team, under the watchful eyes of
Coach Don Jonas and his assistants.  A group of hopefuls, above, find that blocking practice can be a strenuous activity.
The University's three fall sports
opeh their athletic seasons this month
with tough schedules, big plans, and
some exciting home games for UCF fans.
After a hectic September and
October traveling schedule, the widely
acclaimed Lady Knights Volleyball
Team (55-0 last year!) host the State
Volleyball Tournament in November,
then host the AIAW Small College
National Championships in December.
Jim Rudy's soccer team opens
their home schedule against Stetson
on October 6, then face cross-town
Rollins on October 16 on the new
UCF field. The Knights also host
the Sunshine State Conference
Tournament in October.
Following their first-ever game
at St. Leo, UCF's home opener pits
the new team against Ft. Benning at
the Tangerine Bowl on September 29.
Apopka's Leamon Hall quarterbacks the
army team, usually looking for his
favorite receiver, Clennie Brundige
of Oviedo. Both were All-Americans
at West Point, and should provide
home-town fans with renewed
excitement at their return to
Central Florida.
First woman chairman appointed
Dr. Virginia Barr-Johnson has
been appointed Acting Chairman of
the Teaching Analysis Department
in the College of Education. She
is the first woman ever to be
appointed to a chairmanship in
the University.
She will be replacing Dr. David
Hernandez, who served as chairman
since the department organized in
1968. Dr. Hernandez is stepping
down in order to devote more time
to teaching, research and evaluation.
Dr. Barr-Johnson will be heading
a department faculty which has grown
in number from four to the current 18.
The department has also developed
four co-operative doctoral programs,
two with UF and two with FAU.
Dr. Barr-Johnson, a resident of
Winter Park, joined the faculty in
1971 and has a Ph.D. from Florida
State University. She is co-author of
the book Helping Kids Behave —
Teaching Ethical Behavior, and
numerous articles in educational
journals.
She is also a member of the
Association for Supervision and
Curriculum Development, Phi Delta
Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, National Art
Education Association and the
International Society of Art
Educators.

Notice to
all faculty
Upon the recommendation of
the Graduate Council and approved
by Vice President Ellis, a new
procedure is being implemented
for the fall registration of Post-
Baccalaureate students in graduate
courses (500 and 600 levels).
In order to closely control Post-
Baccalaureate registration to ensure
that proper advisement occurs and
that course prerequisites are met,
courses will be marked closed
and these students will, be required
to obtain approval from their
Colleges prior to registration in
graduate courses.
As a result of this procedure,
graduate students who miss their
appointment times and register
after classes are marked closed,
will also be required to obtain
admission signatures for
registration in graduate level
courses.
Dr. Barr-Johnson
