Lotz paints
'Dream for
UCF' now
hanging in
Admin lobby
A colorful, 131/2 by 9-foot visualization
of the educational purpose of the University of Central Florida was unveiled
late Friday afternoon as the climax to a
special "Afternoon with the President"
for members of the President's Circle.
Faculty, staff and students swelled
the audience to more than 200 persons
who watched as UCF professor Steve
Lotz' "A Florida Dream for UCF" was
unwrapped on the lobby side of the
black slate elevator shaft of the Administration Building.
The huge acrylic on canvas, which
took Lotz four months to paint, was
commissioned by the UCF Division of
Sponsored Research.
The painting for UCF is another in
Lotz' "Florida Dream" canvasses, a
theme he explained shows his subjective and fantasy forms he deals in.
"I'm not a realist painter, nor am I
interested in describing Florida in scientific terms," he said.
President Colbourn's "Afternoon"
began for Circle members (those contributing annually more than $1,000 to
assist the university's academic programs) hearing comments by David F.
Scott Jr., first holder of the endowed
Phillips/Schenck Chair in American
Private Enterprise.
In later remarks regarding "The State
of the University," Colbourn said "1981
was an exceptionally good year for private giving to the university."
He disclosed that cash contributions
to the university this year were "running even" with those made last year.
He said in-kind gifts are remarkably
ahead of last year and "alumni giving is
up significantly for the second year in a
row."
"Quality is expensive," the president
told the attending Circle members. "If
UCF is to meet the challenges it faces
today and in the future, it is going to
need all the help it can get from the private sector."
For UCF Report, Lotz attempted to
snyopsize his artistic style.
"I liked the [art] schoois that were
interested in lines that move and show
energy," the artist said. "This feeling of
energy is Florida to me—everything
seems to be moving here.
"I also am interested in sunlight and
its flow into and expression through
plant forms."
What is the significance of "A Florida
Dream for UCF"?
He responded, "I feel it might be
summed in the floating lotus bloom [at
the top center of the painting]—a symbol of spirit as used by artists in the Far
East."

Staff's
parking
decal
system
amended
Modifications have been made in the
recently inaugurated system of displaying "A," "B" and "C" parking decals,
John Philip Goree, vice-president/
business affairs, announced Monday.
"In recent days there has been a
great deal of discussion concerning the
problems with the string-hung parking
decals," Goree said.
He said the hanging-decal system is
being abandoned in favor of three new
ways of displaying authorized decals.
Goree said the President's Advisory
Staff has approved these display
methods for the remainder of the 1982-
83 academic year:
1) Persons who want to affix a decal
to the rear bumper, as in the past, may
exchange their string-hung decals for
another decal to position on the rear
bumper.
2) Individuals who wish to use more
than one vehicle may obtain plastic
pockets to be mounted in the right
lower part of the windshield so that a
decal may be moved from vehicle to
vehicle. (A police spokeswoman said it
may be some time before these plastic
pockets are received from the supplier.)
3) For those who desire a decal for a
second car, a "D" decal may be
obtained for the full price of $13 and
the vehicle must be parked in a "D" or
temporary lot.
"You may obtain the new decal or
pockets from the University Police at
your convenience," Goree said. "If you
have questions concerning this matter,
call me."
Tropf to lead
DeLand group
Sociologist David Tropf has been
elected to preside over directors of The
House Next Door in DeLand. Tropf has
taught at UCF since 1970, and has been
a DeBary resident for nearly 20 years.
The 21 -member board of the county-
wide human service agency under Tropf
oversees community programs in family
counseling, human potential, and drug
prevention in the schools, and other
areas of concern.
Tropf, who will be installed Oct. 12,
noted that foremost on the list of
"things to do" by The House Next Door
is to "improve our financial base
through more local support and less
federal funding."
Taking office with Tropf will be Joe
Dykes, vice-president; Betty Brady,
secretary; and George Merriam, treasurer. All are from DeLand.
