Econ bridge closed for more repairs

The expected closing of the Alafaya Trail bridge over the Little Econ was announced Monday to take place at 7 a.m. today (Wednesday) so the structure built for l ight traffic in 1953 can be shored up to last unti l a fourlane facil i ty replaces it.

The closing wi l l last for three weeks and even when it reopens heavy trucks wi l l not be a l lowedto cross, says Ed Hydorn, assistant maintenance engineer.

Hydorn said an emergency contract was made wi th a Daytona Beach f i rm to drive two steel pil ings through holes that wi l l be cut in the bridge deck to solid footings about 80 feet below the water 's surface and to add reinforcing steel and concrete to the road bed. The cost wi l l be between $60,000 and $66,000, he said.

Meanwhi le , Florida Department of Transportation has arranged w i th she­riff 's offices of Orange and Seminole Counties to post on-duty officers at five intersections of the bypass route.

As during the bridge closing last March the recommended route f rom the University to the south side of Oviedo is west on University Blvd. to Dean Road, north to Aloma (SR 426), northeast to Chapman Road, east to Alafaya (SR 434).

UCF-Valencia talk closer cooperation

Scores of faculty members and admin­istrators f rom both UCF and Valencia Communi ty College met last Friday at VCC's East Campus to begin the process of building a cooperative relationship that might become a statewide model for uni ­versities and communi ty colleges.

Dr. Paul A. Gianini Jr., VCC president, urged conferees at the half-day session to identify areas where the two inst i tu­t ions could improve relations and ar t icu­lation of programs and activit ies, noting that more than 80 percent of Valencia's graduates enroll at UCF.

In charging the group to explore all opportunit ies Dr. Frank Juge, UCF asso­ciate vice president for Academic Affairs, cited possibilit ies of faculty exchanges and sharing of seminar speakers.

UCF and VCC conferees were paired according to duties and responsibil it ies and asked to identify areas of current cooperation, those where action could be taken w i th in 1 2 months and those where more than a year would be required to be launched.

The results are to be summarized and considered for implementat ion.

The counci l /president meeting has been set for 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct.

Open 1ST forums invite discussion

The Institute for Simulat ion and Train­ing invites public participation in a ser­ies of forums scheduled at two weeks' intervals through Nov. 25 on the subject of artif icial intell igence.

Meetings are held in Room 103 of Computer Center II on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. At the next session, on Sept. 30, Dr. Avelino Gonzalez, associate profes­sor in Computer Engineering, wi l l talk about Industrial Applied Expert Sys­tems. Other faculty members wi l l . . address future meetings.

17, in the President's Dining Room. The tour of four area campuses has been rescheduled for Nov. 20.

At the council 's September meeting last week their advisor, Dr. Carol Surles, told the group, " I am very, very much gratif ied that the president is taking such an interest in support personnel. It is gratifying that he does see support employees are the key to getting things done around here."

Surles recounted the president's address to the Faculty Assembly a week before in which he stressed the need to stem the turnover of support personnel because similar jobs in the nearby community offer 30 percent higher pay.

She suggested the president called for the meeting w i th the council to exchange ideas on how to improve the role of support personnel.

In other business, council chairperson Linda Browning proposed a new event for the council to sponsor a talent show to display arts and crafts that support personnel make in their t ime away from work. She named Fran Whi te and Sandra McClendon as co-chairs to explore the possibilities.

bined college and Foundation effort, result ing in one $1 mil l ion endowed chair and another pending.

Colbourn said that faculty salaries remain about 10 percent below the national average despite a larger, seven percent allocation f rom the legislature for increased pay this year. The presi­dent said salaries of University Support Personnel are 30 percent below other salaries in the area, result ing in a 28 percent departure rate of personnel. He emphasized the urgency of addressing this issue at all levels.

"We are in a crisis level w i th our career service people (USP). I am deeply concerned and I hope it is a concern that is widely shared. We wi l l not be able to get the improvements we need unti l this situation is corrected.

"Every one of the nine state univer­sity presidents gave the same message to the Board of Regents and repeated it at the meeting this week in Tallahassee.

" I need your help to identify this as our number one need at the next legis­lature. Please speak to that in the media and to any legislator you know any chance that you get.

" I hope to speak to that concern as wel l as faculty salaries at the next legis­lature," he concluded.

New Provost and Academic Affairs Vice President Richard Astro summa­rized an overview of American higher education wi th the pledge that adminis­tration wi l l work closely w i th faculty to get the most good out of the dollars available.

He stated: " I encourage all of you to become involved in planning your col­lege's and department 's future and developing the programs that wi l l result f rom that planning. That, indeed, is the proper and most important role of faculty in the administrative decision­making process.

"It is the greatest task of faculty and administrators to work together to insure that academic planning and the management systems we use to achieve the objectives of that planning strengthen and do not undermine the fabric of the University.

"We must work together to assert educational values and to plan and to develop coherent academic structures."

Astro also said he would use his con­tacts as a former administrator at Northeastern University to bring out­standing educators to UCF as speakers.

He disclosed that he already had commitments f rom Richard Lapchick, director of the Center for Sport and Society at Northeastern, for some t ime in October, and later from Evelyn Fox Keller, professor of Mathematics/ Hu­manities at MIT, and from Leon Kamin, professor of Psychology at Princeton.

For proof of what training and diet wi l l do for the human machine UCF's Professor Frank Rohter commands the greatest respect. " M y strong point , " boasts Rohter, " is that I always f in ish, and when I do I feel like a 21 -year old. I feel great ! " He's 63 and races in a bracket of 60 and over.

Only those who have placed in the top five in the 12 monthly prel iminary races wi l l do the one mile sw im, 25 mile bike ride and 6.5 mile run at Hilton Head.

United Way drive aims for $20,000

The annual United Way campaign got underway on campus yesterday w i th a goal of $20,000 in pledges f rom employees to help communi ty services in Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties.

Between now and the end of October, 31 volunteer employees wi l l make contact w i th all employees and invite them to make any size contr ibut ion they wish.

"I t is our w ish to increase the number of participants, whatever the level of contr ibution individuals are able to make," W. Rex Brown, drive chai rman, told volunteer workers at a meeting last week.

He echoed the wishes of President Trevor Colbourn that contr ibut ions should be voluntary and that no one should feel forced into giving.

The president pointed out that pledges at the end of the 1985 drive exceeded $21,000, compared w i th the pre-drive goal of $19,500, noting that 37 percent of University employees accounted for that amount.

-In a letter directed to faculty and staff the president said, "Our most immediate effort should be to increase the number of participants, whatever the contr ibut ion." He also reminded, "You can designate the agency or agencies to which you desire your contr ibution to be assigned."

Sooner or later every one of the 826 University Support Personnel wi l l receive a birthday greeting card, t imely sent. It's one of those nice touches thought up by the Staff Council, the elective board that works year around to build a family spirit among University employees.

"Sooner" might have been a little " la te r " for some of the late August and early September-born people, conceded Flo Glazier, new secretary of the Coun­cil. " I t 's taking me a few weeks to work the card addressing into my other work routine (Library acquisitions), but I'm getting caught up. ...Sorry about the late ones."

College prep plan enrolls 150 students

Six area high schools wi l l send 150 students to this year's Academic Enrichment Program for minori t ies that begins Oct. 7 at UCF.

The annual program, wh ich began five years ago w i th 20 students f rom Orlando Jones high school, was estab­l ished to motivate and encourage minor­ity students to prepare for college.

Students applying for the program wi l l be interviewed at their schools w i th in the next few weeks by Cecelia H. Rivers, director of special programs at UCF. To be eligible, a student must have a 2.0 grade point average, be in grades 10-12, and express a desire to attend college.

Students in th is year's program wi l l participate in a variety of activit ies, to include sessions in study skills, test-taking skills and communicat ion skills; a "survival sk i l ls" series for prospective college students, and joint parent-student orientations at each of the schools. The importance of parent par­t icipation "cannot be overemphasized," said Rivers. A special workshop for all parents of students in the program wi l l be conducted in January as wel l .

Students wi l l be bussed to the UCF campus on three successive days a month through Apr i l . Each of the daily programs wi l l pair two schools, w i th 25 students f rom each. Starting Oct. 7 wi l l be Jones and Evans high schools, fo l ­lowed by Edgewater and Oak Ridge, and Osceola and Oviedo on the f inal day. This is the f irst year either of the two latter schools have participated.

An additional incentive this year wi l l be academic enr ichment scholarships f rom the University to those who f inish the program and are eligible to attend UCF upon graduation f rom high school.

Winter Park plans fundraisers for new scholarship

Bright students f rom Winter Park High School who might not otherwise go to college wi l l get a chance to attend UCF through a new scholarship being established in honor of the late Rear Admiral Malcolm C. Reeves, a promi­nent Winter Park businessman for many years after ret irement f rom the Navy.

Retired Captain Malcolm Reeves II, who fol lowed his father in a Navy career, and also as an owner of the Ferris-Reeves Galleries, has scheduled a double fund-raiser in November at the Winter Park Civic Center, 1050 Morse Boulevard.

The public is invited to the Winter Park Ant iques Show, Nov. 21 -23, feat­uring a wide range of f ine art and antiques offered by 20 dealers. Tickets sell for $3.50. A preview party at $35 a ticket, wi l l be given at the center, start­ing at 7 p.m. on Nov. 20, featuring art forms of Asia and dinner in the Asian theme.

Starting w i th the idea of honoring a man whose encouragement and advice were sought for nearly 30 years, the wi fe, son and daughter- in- law made a personal contr ibut ion that launched what has grown into the Winter Park Educational Foundation. To learn more about it and order tickets to the November events, cal l Captain Reeves at 647-0273.

WORTH RE PEA TING

To desire to have many books, and never use them, is like the child that wi l l have a candle burning by him whi le he is sleeping.
