The UCF Report
News and Announcements for the Faculty and Staff of the University of Central Florida
Knight Notes
There hardly seems a day
when one does not see a
student, faculty or staff
member doing a bit of
jogging on or near campus.
If what Bill Buchalter
reported in his Jan. 14
Sentinel Star column, the
occurs, the runners we
might see on May 30-31 on
campus really will be
speeded up.
Buck says the Track
Athletic Congress "hopes to
talk with [UCF] officials"
about holding an Olympic
sprint development camp
here those dates in
connection with the 1982
Golden South Classic at
Winter Park's Showalter
Field.
On your marks! Get set!
Go?
Next time you are in the
University Library on a
Monday or a Thursday
afternoon, pause in the
lobby to examine the
magazines and books that
are being sold at pre-, pre-
inflation prices.
There's been a first-floor
area set aside for.the UCF
Foundation so it can
conduct its book sales on a
twice-a-week schedule,
instead of holding off for
semiannual sales.
Meet Dorothy
Waganhurst of Chuluota,
who has generously
volunteered to staff the area
from 2 to.4 p.m. those two
days a week.
As for those bargaines!
Magazines only 5 cents, or
six for a quarter. And books!
Why, the low, low prices get
as low as 25 cents to just
one dollar!
New material is added to
shelves as space permits.
Too, you're encouraged to
become a browser!
Tubbs now
Student
Affairs VP
LeVester Tubbs, associate vice
president for Student Affairs at UCF
since July 1 980, has been
designated vice president of the
Division of Student Affairs, effective
immediately.
"Lee Tubbs has made significant
contributions to the University in
the short time he has been here,"
said President Colbourn in making
the announcement. "He has
demonstrated knowledge,
background and ability to work with
students, faculty, and the
community, qualities vital to the
effectiveness of his office."
Tubbs was appointed to his post
in the UCF administration from the
University of Massachusetts at
Boston, where he had been vice
chancellor for student affairs. He
also had served as director of
development and dean of students
at Lincoln University, and had filled
faculty and administrative positions
at North Carolina A&T University,
Allen University, and in the Palm
Beach Public Schools.
He is a native of Panama City,
Fla., where he graduated from high
school and where his parents still
reside.
Women get
graduate
study plan
Women with their eyes on the
future can shape new careers for
themselves in high technology by
enrolling in a unique new graduate
degree program in engineering to
begin at UCF this summer.
-    Known as the Women's Reentry
Program, it will provide women who
have been away from the
classroom, and those contemplating
career changes, the opportunity to
earn a master's degree in any of
four areas in engineering that are in
growing demand.
Those accepted for Reentry can
select from four optional fields of
study leading to the master of
science degree: engineering
administration, operations research,
engineering systems analysis or
computer systems.
Qualifications limit eligibility to
women who have received a
bachelor's degree not less than two
years ago, and whose college major
was in mathematics, engineering,
physics or other applied sciences. A

'Your sunshine feels so-o-o good!'
It was mighty tempting for five of these college of health deans to see
if they could justify extension of their 21/2-day trip to sunny Central
Florida, compared to the sub-zero blizzard conditions from whence they
had just come.
Arriving at UCF last week for discussions on mutual College of Health
Deans Group topics were (from left) David Gale, Eastern Kentucky
University, Richmond, Va.; Sidney Rodenberg, Wichita (Kan.) State
University; John Haverty, Georgia State (Atlanta) University; Ruth
Leventhal, Hunter College, Manhatten N.Y.; Aaron Andrews, Ferris
State College, Big Rapids, Mich.; and their UCF host, Own Elder Jr.
Discussion items included allied health professions school
accreditation trends, clinical practice plans and formalization of the
deans' group.
CC. Miller
Temporary
AD job to
Dean Miller
CC. Miller, dean of the College of
Education, has been named acting
director of athletics at UCF and will
serve this additional capacity until a
permanent athletic director is
selected.
A new search committee, about
to be named, will begin by
reviewing the criteria for the
position, then examine all current
candidates.
President Colbourn named Miller
to the post Jan. 1 3 following a four-
month search for a permanent AD.
A search committee, which had
evaluated applications from more
than 140 candidates, was
disbanded last week after no final
candidate was selected.
"This is a very important position
at this stage of the University's
development," Colbourn explained,
"and we would rather patiently
seek the best person for the job. I
feel Dean Miller can handle the
necessary administration and
coordination of the University's
intercollegiate athletic program in
the interim "
In his capacity as dean of
education, Miller also had served as
the University administrator in
charge of intercollegiate athletics,
intramurals and recreation
programs from 1968 until 1978,
when the athletic programs were
moved under the direct supervision
of the president.
"Cal Miller has been in charge of
our athletic policies and procedures
in the past," Colbourn added, "and I
am confident he can provide strong
leadership for the program until a
permanent director is selected."
