Survival A group of marina owners and their

staffs, some boat owners and a few in­trepid reporters jumped into the water Wednesday afternoon , May 23, opening Nova's new Inst itute for Survival Tech­nology Program with a resounding splash

Actually, they started their one-day intensive survival training early that morning. with Director Wayne Williams and his staff putting them through a four-hour cram course in the classroom, t~aching the vital basics of sea suno:ival and introducing the students to vaftous kinds of life-saving gear such as flares and food rations.

And then it was into the drink - fully clothed - for one and all, and a chance

law School Graduates 150

With Florida's projected population growth about to make it the fourth larg­est state in the United States by the year 2,000, attorneys will face many new chal­lenges in the years ahead, Florida Su­preme Court Justice Ben Overton told the graduates at Nova's third annual Law School Commencement at Parker Playhouse May 20.

Lawyers must be prepared to handle types of cases that keep changing as society's priorities change , deal with continually changing rules of legal pro­cedure, and find way to provide "afford­able" legal services to those who need it , he noted.

Justice Overton was introduced by Lawrence J. Smith, a member of the Florida State Legislature. Dr. James Farquhar. a member of the University's Board of Trustees, convened the Com­mencement; Dr. Abraham Fischler pre-

Then came the fun stuff - jumping off a 20-foot­high platform, negotiating a simulated helicopter lifting ring, clawing therr way into a rescue basket, climbing aboard a raft learning how to survive any mis­fortune which might occur at sea. They practiced in closed and open life rafts, electing a captain, learning how to distill fresh water from sea water and a dozen other proven techniques for saving lives in the short and long haul.

Belgian Teens To Visit Nova

Gail Morrison is about to become the "mother" of 30 teen-agers, some of whom don 't even speak English - and she could., t be more thrilled.

A doctoral candidate in the Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology and an instructor of assertiveness training in I.L.A., Gail was recently named Project Coordinator for the Pacific-American Institute Exchange Student Program.

Her job is to see to the care, feeding, educating and socializing of a group of Belgian students, ages 16-21, who will be in South Florida from July 5 to August 5.

Gail is drawing heavily on resources in the university and in the community for help in arranging for host families, teachers, classroom space, and most of all , ideas on what she can do to make these young people's visit to America memorable.

She's working with people in the Uni­versity School, the Intensive English Program and several other university centers to provide a well-rounded, in­teresting, informative and thoroughly enjoyable program for her young charges.

Anyone wishing to help in any or all of these areas may call Gail at 792-9420.

Students get right into the swing of things. Just under and to the right of the dock can he seen a portion of the floating hoom donated by Greg Mac· Intosh of Oil Mop Caribbean, Inc., which keeps floating debris out of the area and keeps the water clean.

Dear Bill. In response to our telephone conver­

Based on the results of the interviews , and our personnel fold ers and work record . the committee made its recom­mendation to the Chief of Police Jesse Taylor. and he then appointed me to that position. The screening board was made up of two sergeants and two lieu­tenants.

Even though they were not supposed to discuss what led them "to their recom­m endation. I heard through the grape­vine that it was my college education (hal tipped the scales in myfavor. I currently have more college education than any other employee within the Police Dept . in Stuart.

The job will entail inservice training programs in all areas, training of new personnel. providing the men with up­dates on changes in laws that affect us, and in general the continued professional izat ion of the department.

Sroufe Opposes Federal Dept.

of Education The tederal government's recent pro­

posal to set up a new Department of Edu· cation would almost certainly end up as just another costly, paper·shuffling bureaucracy and actually hinder the achievement of quality education in the United States.

So argued Dr. Gerald Sroufe, Director of Nova's National EdD Program for Education Leaders, in testimony before the House Government Operation Com­mittee in Washington. "Be traditional and law, education is primarily a state and local responsibility," he .id. "A Secretary of Education would therefore be relegated to only a symbolic role, just as have so many House and Senate 'Education' Committees and sub-com­mittees which have little real power to effect positive changes in education . A new bureaucratic department in Wash­ington, with little real power, would not only be a waste of time, talent and tax· payers ' money, but would also be directly counter to the President's efforts to re­duce and streamline government."

Dr. Sroufe did have high praise lor the contributions to education that have recently been effected through the co· operative efforts of the President, Con· gress, "two extremely able Commissions on Education, and several agencies within HEW. When Presidential leader· ships is backed by public support, in­novative educational programs can be instituted far more quickly, effectively and inexpensively than they could if there were another level of government to deal with ," he noted .

"It is my conclusion that the cost of the proposed Department (of Education) in unrealized opportunities to serve our children is prohibitive. It would be far better for our administrat ive and con­gressional leadership to focus on pro­grammatic concerns more directly re­lated to our children 's educational needs ...

Brandeis Women To Work With Nova

"This could be the start of something big," sang at least one happy member of the group which met recently to ex· plore ways the Brandeis University Wom­en's Committee (Inverrary/Woodlands Chapter) and Nova could work together for their mutual benefit.

Tentative plans now caJI for coopera­tion in running a foreign ftlm festival, a lecture series ("Nova at Noon"), and a book sale to benefit Nova's undergrad· uate library. Details are still to be worked out, but with the level of interest, en· thusiasm and good will evidenced by all parties, it appears virtually certain that a dynamic partnership of effort is in the making.

Special thanks must go to Chapfer President, Elaine Stone, and Vice-Presi­dents Elaine Stoloff and Evelyn Aron· starn, and to Drs. Debbie Robin and Richard Bell of Nova, for breaking the ground and planting the seed.

August Commencement Set Dr. Mark W. Cannon, administrative

assistant to the Chief Justice of the United States will be the principle speak. er at the Nova University Commence­ment, Sunday, August 26 at 2 p.m., at The Sunrise Musical Theater.

Dr. Cannon will also be awarded an honorary degree. A second honorary de· gree will be presented to Duane Hanson,

the renown super-realist sculptor whose works grace major public and private collections and museums throughout the world.

Degrees from bachelors through doc· toral levels will be awarded graduates of all of Nova University's Centers ex­cept the Law School , which held its grad· uation in May .

Behavioral Sciences Seminars Successful

BSC Welcomes 3 New Faculty

The Behavioral Sciences Center spon­snred a series of seminars this year which were so well received that they're already making plans for another series next year.

Dr. Peter M. Miller, director of Be­havioral Medicine at Hilton Head Hospi­tal, S_c., was the featured speaker at the first seminar on Addictive Behaviors . Along with workshop speakers Alan Roberts, Martin Lerner, Anthony Galie, Ray Killinger, John Walker and Ron Cochran, Dr. Miller discussed some of the self-control techinques which have been found effective in helping people modify their behavior and break bad habits.

The speakers explained various ways to effect permanent behavioral changes. noting that those who do manage to gain control over their bad habits experience new. positive attitudes toward all the problems they meet in their daily lives.

The second seminar dealt with As­sertiveness Training. The guest lecturer was Michel Hersen, professor of Psy­chology and director of the Resocializa­tion Treatment Center at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

Dr. Hersen demonstrated the interview. ing techniques he uses with non-asser­tive clients, and discussed some of his successful strategies for training such people to "gradually" become more assertive.

The third and final seminar of the season featured Dr. Debora Phillips, pro­fessor of Psychiatry at Temple University Medical School and author of the con ­troversial best-seller, "How To Fall Out of Love."

Dr . Phillips' approach to easing the pangs of a love affair that's gone sour involves following a step-by-step pro­gram which utilizes humor as its core ingredient.

She advises her clients first to yell, "Stop!", then silently ridicule the object of their disaffect ion. then use desensitiza ­tion and relaxation techniques to counter· act the pain of jealousy, and finally, use "ugly, repulsion" behavior modification techniques - but only if all else fails.

Once the negative feelings are under control, the person can then be taught to develop meanful, close relationships with someone else, she contended.

Dr. Phillips' speech and the intense question and answer session which fol­lowed are now available on cassette tapes through the Behavioral Sciences Center. Either of the tapes alone costs $6; both are $10. Call Dennis Dannacher at Ext.

306 for intormation on how to order the tapers).

The next Behavioral Sciences ~eml­nar, titled "Enhancing the Quality of Life in the Later Years" will be at the Galt Ocean Mile Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, January 22-26, 1980. For further in­formation, call Dannacher at Ext. 306.

Ph.D.'s Achieve Proud Record

To paraphrase a winning slogan, Nova's students are our most important product, and their record of achievement a testimony to ours.

Take the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology, for example. Since the pro­gram's inception in 1969, every single student who has sought an internship (and every student who sought an APA approved internship) has secured one.

In addition, every graduate of the pro­gram who has sought state licensing has become licensed as a Clinical Psycholo­gist - by any measure an impressive record of accomplishment, and one which Director John Flynn credits to the program itself, with the intensive training it offers students in both research and clinical methods.

"With this enviable track record, the psychology faculty of the Behavioral Sciences Department can be rightfully proud of their products," he said.

Three new professors will join the Behavioral Sciences faculty this Fall.

Dr. Gerald Strei, the new director of the Intensive English Program, is a grad· uate of the University of Minnesota, McGill University, of Southern Cali· fornia and Ealing College of Higher Education in London. He has taught at Colegio San Antonio Abad, Puerto Rico; the United States Information Agency in Bogota, Colombia; College de Mon­treal; McGill University; and Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, and has published extensively in the areas of language, teaching, and computers.

Or. David Barone will direct Human Sciences at Nova College, and the MS in Psychology in the Behavioral Sciences Center. He studied at the University 01 Chicago and the University of California. and taught at the University of Wiscon­sin-Parkside and the University of Cali­fornia. He has published many articles on various aspects of psychology, and distinguished himself in administrative work and curriculum development as well as in teaching.

Dr. Richard E. Jensen will be the ne" director of the Nova .Psychological Clinic (main campus). Educated at Upsala Col­lege, Fairleigh Dickinson University and Miami University, Dr. Jensen has worked at the Community Mental Health Centel of Western Kentucky as supervisin~ psychologist, the FMRS Mental Health Council, in West Virginia as chief psy· chologist, and the Mental Health Centel of Polk County, Fla., as a clinical psy· chologist. He has taught at Miami Uni­versity in Middletown , Ohio, U.C.L.A .. and Indiana University.

Relax And Get Well? Two doctoral students at Nova's Psy­

chological Clinic are studying whether and how much relaxation can help re­lieve certain medical problems which appear to be increasing in the popUlation

Larry Billion is working with 35 peop le diagnosed by a physician as sufferers of hypertension - high blood pressure. In the next few months, he will train his subjects in various forms of relaxation techniques, chart their blood pressures, and ultimately, he hopes, be able to draw conclusions as to the efficacy of relaxa·

tion training in the relief of hypertension.

John Barnes is working with 16 chronic suffere rs of tension headaches - "the kind that's caused by muscle contrac­tion , which people feel in their foreheads, both temples , or the lower back part of their heads." His study involves the use to bio-feedback therapy during his sub­jects' twice-weekly visits to the clinic. By the end of the summer, Barnes hopes to have data enough to draw at least a pre­liminary conclusion about the efficacy of this form of treatment in relieving tension headaches.

New Book Helping Seminole Tots Choosing 'A

Psychologist Dr. Marilyn Segal and several of her doctoral students at the Institute of Child Centered Education have recently finished a children's picture book with photographs of Seminole houses and people, playgrounds, schools, churches and a tribal council office.

Simple and interesting as the project may appear on the surface, it also prom­ises to have a profoundly positive effect on Seminole children's performance in school , and potentially in their later lives.

"There is a large percentage of Sem­inole children who aren't performing at grade level in school, so we decided to test very young children in day care centers in the Hollywood and Big Cypress reservations, to see if we could come up with a reason," Dr. Segal explains. "The children were bright and alert, but we found that their language-related skills were trailing behind other developmental areas - they were verbalizing less than children of their age normally do. We decided to try to encourage the develop­ment of language in these children to see if that would make a difference."

It has - and the difference in just over a month has been "dramatic" ac­cording to Dr. Segal.

The federally-funded program has three components. The first is to provide the children with sets of specially de­signed manipulative toys similar to those developed by the Institute for use in its 'Ready for School' program.

The second part of the project involved taking pictures of people and objects familiar to a Seminole child, and turning them into a picture book which parents

Dr. Segal's Books Dr. Marilyn Segal, Director of the

Institute for Early Childhood Develop­ment, has just completed the third and fourth books of a set called "Nova's Play and Learn Series." The first two books, which dealt with the child from birth to one year, and from one year to two, have attained national recognition and are listed among the top 60 books for young children. Her new books are about two-year olds: "Two Year Old Social Competence" traces the develop­ment of the child's social skills; "Two Year Old Play and Learning" examines the development of imagination, lan­guage, cognitive skills and the thought process. (Both books are available at Walden books in Broward Mall .)

The next book in the series, which will be out later this year, is called "Pre­tending." It will deal with the develop­ment of imagination in the three-to-five year old child.

Dr _ MarUyn Segal

can read to their children in any language of the parents' choosing.

Finally, Dr. Segal and her co:leagues made tapes of language samples of each child, and developed a specific remedial language program based on that child's individual needs - again in whatever langugage the parents wish to use.

in coming months, Dr. Segal plans to create other picture books to be used with older children, and make tapes of traditional tribal music - further steps in developing a set of culturally relevant learning materials that will allow Sem­inole children to reach their full potential

Published Dr. Segal is presently completing an­

other book called "Allibet" aimed at three-to-four year olds . The book is about an adventurous alligator; its pur· pose, "to marry fancifulness with alpha­bet learning," Dr. Segal says.

So you've finally realized that you need psychological help.

The only problem now is that with the plethora of "pop psychology" books On the market, 'helping' professionals of every variety, type of training and area of specialization available, and we1l-mean­ing friends who "have been through it all before" all with conflicting stories, it's next to impossible to decide which way to go to find treatment tbat will work best for you.

The Behavioral Sciences Center has therefore developed a set of guidelines to help you choose a psychologist capable of giving help that will be most appro­priate. meaningful and successful in treating your specific problem.

First, look for a psychologist with a doctoral degree (Ph .D., Ed.D., Psy.D.) from an accredited graduate program approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) or its equivalent. Make sure the psychologist is also li­censed .

Next, ask trusted friends, or your family doctor, teacher, minister or law­yer to recommend someone they know is good. You can also try asking the county or district Psychological Associa­tion, or the Psychology Department of the university in your area, for recom­mendations.

Once you've found two or three psy­chologists to consider using, don't hesi­tate to ask them to give you specifics on their background, the area of human concern they deal best with, the cost of treatment, the estimated length of treat­ment, whether they accept phone calls at the office and l or at home, the tech­niques they employ, or anything else you feel you ought to or want to know be­fore making up your mind.

None of this will guarantee that you'll find the "perfect" therapist - but it's a good start in that direction, the Be­havioral Sciences Center advises.

Dieters Encouraged To Eat Dessert What kind of a diet-workshop leader

takes his class to a good restaurant and urges his students to order foods as sin­fully rich as their hearts ' desire?

Answer: Marty Lerner, a doctoral candidate at the Behavioral Sciences Center, who contends that any diet which involves denying yourself the pleasures of good eating is doomed to fail.

"Eating properly is a matter of atti­tude, not calories," he explains. "1 en­courage my students to eat whatever they want - but in small quantities and dis-

criminately, so that they can really savor the taste. A lot of them say they've ac· tually learned to appreciate food more, and one man has even taken up gourmet cooking."

Lerner's unique behavior-therapy­oriented approach to weight control seems to be working - one group has averaged a weight loss of one to two pounds a week each - and, not inciden­tally, an immeasurable gain in self­esteem. Marty Lerner's phone is 587-6660 ext. 292.

Welcome Mat Out for Foreign Students

South America, Iran, Thailand, France, Switzerland and Mexico are just a few of the countries represented in Nova's Comprehensive and Intensive English Program.

Nova has long been interested in the exchange of educational ideas with stu­dents from all parts of the world. To facilitate this exchange, the Intensive English Program developed in 1976, was designed to meet the needs of the non-English speaking person who wishes to enter college or continue in his profession in the United States .

Students are given an intensive Eng­lish-as-a-second-Ianguage program, as well as a general orientation to America and its college work.

Each stud en t entering the program is tested to determine his individual lan­guage abilities and needs. Classes are small (10 staff members for 100 students) and students are allowed to progress at their own pace. The curriculum includes lessons in English grammar. writing, reading. pronunciation, conversation and phonetics . with extensive use being made ofianguage and reading laboratory facilities.

Since many students plan to continue their education in American colleges and universities, their work includes special vocabulary lists, training in methods of library research, report writ­ing. oral presentations. and a general familiarity with the anticipated require­ments the student will meet on entering the program of his choice.

Recognizing that meeting the social needs of the non -English-speaking stu­dents is equally important, the program organizes field trips and social events to help the students gain an understand­ing of the complexities of American society.

Foreign Students Need Homes

Far from home . . . thousands of miles and many years away from family, friends and familiar customs, language, holiday celebrations ... it's not easy to be a stu­dent in a foreign land, trying to learn a new language, adapt to strange customs, and earn a college degree at the same time.

There are nearly 100 of these students in Nova's Intensive English Program. They come from Chile, Peru, Mexico, Poland, France, Switzerland, and points north, south , east and west. And what they need most are homes, preferably with families living somewhere in the neighborhood of the university.

The students can and will pay room and board, and provide their own trans­portation. All they ask is a chance to live in a family setting so that they can learn about America by living as Americans . . . and, in the process, relieve their lone­liness just a little.

Those with a spare room and a desire to help promote close international rela­tions in a very personal way, are urged to call Anita Green at 587-6649.

Psych Clinic Expands Services

The recently opened Nova University Clinic at Coral Springs is now offering a wide variety of psychological services to residents of Broward's northwestern communities (west of State Rd. 7 and north of State Rd. 84).

These services include family counsel­ing, individual therapy (child, adolescent and adult), group therapy marriage and divorce counseling, effectiveness training for parents, psychological and learning disability testing, and adjustment coun­seling for the elderly.

The clinic is a non-profit corporation operated cooperatively by the Broward County Community Health Board, HRS and Nova. The staff, consisting of pro­fessionals in psychology, medicine, social work and education is available from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Located at the corner of Sample Road and University Drive, the clinic offers free services to Title XX clients, and bases fees for others on their family in­comes.

CLE, Placement Work Together Nova's Law Center maintains an active

continuing legal Education Department and a Placement Service for student Clerkships and career opportunities for graduates - both operating out of the same office.

To Roland Graff, who directs both programs, the contiguity is both neces· sary and logical.

"We make students part of all our Continuing legal Education Programs, giving them the opportunity to rub shoulders with lawyers and business­people all during their schooling," he explains. "As a result , when they go out on an interview, they can say, 'I met yOll

at the program .' It's an entree for them , and it really seems to help. "

The CLE programs Graff arranges are designed to give students, practicing attorneys, and leaders in both the public and private sectors a chance to tackle the kinds of big issues this country and the world will be dealing within the near future . He's running an on-going series on Comparative Legal Systems, for ex· ample. One was held last year in Cali, Colombia, and another will take place this summer in Oxford, England.

It's All A Motter Of Degree

Arthur and Riva Bickel

On May 20, when the Law School held its 3rd annual commencement at Parker Playhouse, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bickel found they had so many degrees between them they were hard put to find room for all of them in the den of their Lake Worth home.

The distinction both have earned in their professions as well as their studies over the past three years, though is some~ thing no piece of paper, not even a sheep­skin, could ever document.

Arthur Bickel. M.D., carried nearly a full class load at the Law School while working full-time as a pathologist at Bethesda Hospital in Boynton Beach. With all that. he sti ll managed to come out in the top ten percent of his class .

Riva Bickel. with a PhD in biochem­istry from the University of Hawaii, did her studying between taking care of the couple's two small daughters. and doing free-lance gag writing for cartoonists all over the country. She graduated first in the class.

Cooperation. rather than competition, has been the key to the Bickel's astonish­ing record of success. Husband and wife attended the same classes ("it was easier on the commuting"), studied at dif­ferent times of the day so that one 01 them would always be available to the children. and plan to open a law office together.

"Going to law school has been a fan­tastic experience for both of us," says Mrs. Bickel. "It hasn't been easy, 01 course, but we've both enjoyed every minute of it."

- Liroffs Seek New Challenges -Ken and Marilyn Liroff, happiJy mar­

ried and the parents of two little girls, have never allowed themselves to be hide­bound by convention.

Marilyn LirotI decided three years ago that "there had to be more to life than tennis three times and week and luncheon with the girls," so she enrolled in Nova Law School. On May 20, she graduated magna cum laude, second in her class, having racked up an enviable record of scholastic achievement includ­ing being the lead article editor of the Nova Law Journal and servin~ as a clerk (soon to be Associate) of the prestigious Ft. Lauderdale law firm of Weaver and Weaver.

Her husband, Ken, is an oral surgeon who decided last year to enroll in Nova Law School "because I was ready for a new challenge, and looking for a means of directing my creative talents and en­ergies." When he graduates two year~ from now, he will be alone among the 150,000 dentists in the United States to hold a law degree, and looking forward to having an opportunity to break new ground in the medical-legal field.

"There are hundreds of dental mal­practice suits filed every year in Dade and Broward Counties - more than the combined total of the next seven states," he explains . "Having an attorney for the defense who can argue cases knowledge­ably and expert Iy will be a very signifi­cant first for South Florida."

Nova College To Offer New Certificate Programs It's not so much a re-vamping as a

tightening and streamlining of the cur· riculum . strentthening it, putting the emphasis on quality over quantity ... and instituting a new Certificate program which promises to better meet the needs of the working professionals who seek to advance themselves in their careers through their studies at Nova.

Beginning in the Fall, Nova College will offer bachelor of science degrees in only two, rather than seven, major areas of concentration: Business Administra­tion and Human Sciences . Within those two areas, there will be several different blocks of courses ranging from 15 to 45 credit hours each . Each block will focus on a specific subject area. A Certificate will be awarded students who success­fully complete a block of courses.

Matriculated students will therefore be able to learn both a BS degree, and one or more certificates attesting to their proficiency in specific study areas. Non­matriculated students - people in the community - will also be able to take a block of courses, and earn a Certificate

Davie History To Be Documented

Victoria Wagner has received a $600 grant from the American Association of University Women's Education Foun­dation for a research project on the his· tory of Davie.

A 12-year resident of Davie, Mrs. Wagner began work on a paper titled "Davie Dilemma" while enrolled in Rose· mary Jones' Writing Workshop at the Institute for Lifelong Awareness . With the help of the grant money, she plans to research the story more comprehensively. and produce what she anticipates will be an important social as well as histori­cal document.

"My goal is to compile a brief history of the first improved town in the Ever· glades - a town which was once accessible only by water." she explains. "Davie was considered impenetrable until 1906, when Napoleon Bonaparte Broward be­came governor and began the drainage of the 'glades."

Mrs. Wagner is gathering information for her study principally through inter· views with "pioneers" who still live in Davie. The purpose of her study, she says, is to keep alive the memories of the town's colorful past. But another impor· tant aspect will be to document "what is happening fn many Florida communi­ties, where gardens, groves and cattle are being replaced by real estate develop· ments and shopping malls" and to dis· cuss how these changes have affected the quality of life.

Criminal Justice Seminars Held

A one-day seminar in 'Performance Evaluation for Police Supervisors' held in April by Nova's Criminal Justice De­partment was so enthusiastically received well attended, and highly praised upon its completion, that the department planned two more seminars to consider other issues of major importance to law enforcement agencies.

The June 20-21 Seminar held at Nova University at Coral Springs focused on "Police Review Boards." The thesis was review of police by civilian boards is ineffective, subversive of police opera­tions, and a dangerous intrusion into agency affairs. Its (the sem inar's) pur­pose was to equip participants with in­depth knowledge of the concept of civil­ian review, and provide them with prac­tical data which can be used to resist these boards calmly and logically, through the use of reasoned arguments.

On Tuesday, July 10. a third seminar will be held at Coral Springs. this one on "Performance Eva luation for Correc­tions Supervisors." Dr. William Bopp will moderate the day-long seminar which will explore in some depth the traditional evaluat ion systems for correc­tions personnel. and offer alternatives that can upgrade rating skills.

Some Diseases Hel ped By Oxygen Treatments

At a recent meeting of the Federation of Arnerican Societies for Experimental Biology in Dallas, Drs. C.A. Thuning, G. Ortiz·Muniz, D. Emma and Joel Warren of Nova's Life Sciences Center and Goodwin Institute described their work on the use of oxygen under pressure in the prevention and treatment of rnul­tiple sclerosis.

For the past four years they've been studying the effect of prolonged exposure to oxygen under pressure on the immune system. Using an animal model for MS, they found that the oxygen treatment could prevent the disease,. but only so long as it was in constant use. When the oxygen was discontinued, the guinea pigs and rats developed symptoms of MS, although less severe than they would have without treatment.

Dr. Warren's group now believes that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) can be a power­ful tool for investigating the nature of the immune response to tumors and for

studying so-called "auto-immune dis­eases."

At the Dallas meeting. the Nova re­searchers described experiments showing that the production of blood antibodies by white blood cells are impaired by HBO, indicating that the mechan ism involved in oxygen immunosuppression appears to exert its effect on white blood cells.

In a related study recently published in Arthritis And Rheumatism, Drs. Warren, Sacksteder and Thuning ex­tended the investigation of HBO to its effects on an experimental arthritis in rodents. They found that the severity of rat arthritis, which resembles human rheumatoid arthritis, is markedly re­duced by daily oxygen treatments.

Dr. Warren and his colleagues are continuing their investigations on the effects of HBO on experimental cancer and its spread.

New Program For Bank Ma nagers A new Certificate Program in Com­

mercial Banking and Savings and Loan Management, offered by tlie Graduate Management Programs , will give middle and upper management and supervisory personnel of financial institutions an opportunity to enhance and update their skills, and learn new methods and tech­niques vital to a healthy, growing bank­ing industry.

The program, developed by Dr _ Rich­ard Biscomb of Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss., and Dr. Martin Veiner, director of Nova's Graduate Management Pro­grams, was explained to a group ofrepre· sentatives of Broward County banks and savings and loan institution at a meet·

ing last month. Their response was en­thusiastic.

The new program was designed to meet the recognized need of supervisory personnel of financial institutions for new information and methodologies, and allow bank officers and directors to utilize more fully the talents and strengths of their middle management employees .

The one-year training program will give the students a broader view of the role banking plays in the economy, sub­stantial knowledge of specialized fields in banking, and practical experience in using contemporary marketing and management tools to solve banking prob­lems.

New Computer Systems Program

Both commercial banks and savings and loan institutions currently offer good training programs for their per­sonnel through the industry's profes­sional organizations . The focus of Nova's program, however, is on training bank managers. Its emphasis on current mar· keting and management principles as applied to bank operating problems in Florida will not only be more useful to local bankers, but also offer a move cost­effective solution to the institutions' training needs.

With the rapid growth of data process­ing systems in business and industry, there has ,been an increasing demand for people t rained in both business manage­ment and computer technology.

Nova, in cooperation with leaders in the computer field and in industry, has developed a new master 's degree pro­gram in Computer Systems Management It's objective - to prepare people for careers in the management of data proc­essing departments in business, industry, government, research or education.

The program is designed to give work~ ing professionals a finn grounding in business and human resources manage~ ment, as well as hands~on training in computer technology. Classes are held on campus, evening and weekends. Off·

School Kids Are Who says learning has to take place

only in a classroom? Certainly not Lou Taylor, Coordinator

,)f Special Services at the University School, who firmly believes that travel is broadening, and that young people who are exposed to a variety of out-of-the­classroom experiences are bound to turn out to be more well-rounded and under­standing adults, far better able to deal with the multitude of life experiences they'll be facing in this ever-shrinking world.

In the last few months alone, he's arranged seven different trips for Uni­versity School students from the second grade on up . In April, for example 40 sixth graders went to St. Augustine and Tallahassee, and found out more about Florida's history and government than they ever could have just by reading a Social Studies book . Another group went to Williamsburg and Jamestown, Va ., and still another travelled to Washing­ton, D.C. and Valley Forge.

With the very little ones, it's more a question of getting them used to the idea

Volunteers Honored

Parents of University School children do a lot more than just helping their kids with their homework. They're an active corps of trained volunteers, doing jobs ranging from assisting in the classroom and individual tutoring to participating in every aspect of the learning process.

A lew weeks ago, Tobene Rosenthal, herself a tireless volunteer, hosted the third annual luncheon in honor of these dedicated volunteers. Several faculty members were there too, to express their thanks for the invaluable assistance the volunteers have given them throughout the years.

"The University School is the only school I know of where volunteer parents are actually trained for the jobs they do," Mrs. Rosenthal pointed out. " What's more, the University School has the largest percentage of volunteer parents working in the school of any private school in Broward or Dade.

"This makes our school unique -because we believe that parent involve­ment is an extremely important factor in successful school achievement. and in our committment to bring the home, school and community into a closer rela­tionship for the educational ' benefit of our children ."

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL NEWS

On The Move of being away from home overnight, and seeing to it that they have a good time in the process. A group of second graders were taken to distant Deerfield Beach where they fished from the pier, swam in the surf, and had dinner in a restaurant. The third graders, who by this venerable age were much more sophisticated travel­ers, got to spend a weekend camping in Pennekamp State Park and visiting Key Largo.

The Juniors and Seniors, not surpris­ingly, knew exactly where they preferred to spend their time, given the opportunity, They picked a weekend cruise to Nassau and the Bahamas.

Perhaps the most exciting trip of the year took place last month, when 15 youngsters attended a "Travel Seminar at Sea" aboard the M.S. Southward . There were fun and games, of course, but the trip also included a cram course in navigation (including learning how to use navigational instruments and main­tain a ship's log), marine biology, water safety and first aid , snorkeling, diving, comparative culture of the places they visited in the Caribbean, shipboard dis­cipline and ship's dress code.

Now who says education was better ill the "good old days"?

Student Wins Trip To Israel

Lisa Stein, 14, of Hollywood, an eighth grader at the University School and a student at Hebrew High School, was one of 10 young people in the country to win a trip to Israel.

The contest was sponsored by the United Jewish Appeal in honor of its 40th anniversary. Entrants were required to write essays on the contributions UJ.A has made over the years . Of the thou­sands of persons who entered, Lisa, whose essay was titled "UJ.A. : Unifying Force in Jewish People". was the young­est winner.

Lisa will leave for Israel on August 6. She will be touring the country with representatives of the U.LA., meeting the Prime Minister and other top Israeli officials, making a special presentation to newly-released Soviet prisoner Mark Dymshitz, and spending some time with her cousins who live in Haifa.

Lisa is an honor student at the Univer· sity School, a Student Government repre­sentative, and an active participant in school activities.

Randazzo Honored And Roasted

Dr, Joseph Randazzo, headmaster of the University School, was honored - and roasted outrageously - at a recent dinner dance sponsored by the University Family Organization

Honoring Dr. Randazzo for six suc­cessful years of leadership were Dr. Marilyn Segal and Dr. Abraham Fischler

The roasting was gleefully accom­plished by Drs. Leonard TomaseDo, James Smith and Joan Gelonnino, direc­tors of the school's three divisions, and several faculty members who couldn't resist the golden opportunity.

More than 100 people dined and danced the evening away in grand and festive style, agreeing, at its end, that it was one of the most enjoyable events they had ever celebrated.

Graduation Is Colorful

Graduation at the University School was predictably an exciting and beauti­ful affair, with girls in white caps and gowns carrying red roses , and boys in green caps and gowns wearing red carna­tions.

Dr. Abraham Fischler gave the Com­mencement address, and diplomas were presented to the 55 graduates by Martin Abel , Chairman of the Board of the Uni­versity School; Dr. Joseph Randazzo, Headmaster of the school; and Dr. James Smith , Director ofthe Upper House.

The ceremony was followed by a brunch, at which flowers were presented to all the mothers (fathers just got to smile proudly - which was really quite enough ).

ABC's And Then Some

In NOV Ative teaching and learning techniques - that's really what the Uni­versity School is all about.

Take Jack Clifford. for example. His Middle House math classes have created a 'University City' complete with various types of businesses. Guest speakers were brought into class to teach the students about business procedures and tech· niques.

Pam Carroll took her Upper House Humanities class to performances of plays, symphonies and ballets once a week. The students were then required to present a written critique on the per­formance.

Tom Brennan's Industrial Arts class doesn't have a "shop" to calI its own -it has the entire University School cam­pus in which to develop and execute projects.

Seniors were encouraged to find out first-hand what their chosen career,: would be like in an 'off-campus' program in which they spent two hours a day, four days a week, actually working at various jobs. On the fifth day, they met with co­ordinator Marlene Turk to discuss the week's activities .

Academic Banquet The University School held an aca·

demic banquet in the school cafeteria last month to honor the students elected to the National Honor Society, and those who were on the Honor Roll two out of three times, and their p((rents.

The evening's program was a slide/ music show about the University School prepared by the members of the Na­tional Honor Society under the leader­ship of its president, Sandra Boulton. Upper House Director Dr. James Smith , and the Academic Committee which consists of teachers Sue Wigley, Phyllis Zabara and media specialist Sandra Hughes, presented the academic awards.

The University School Band provided the entertainment, rounding out a beau· tiful evening in fine style.

"The Eyes Have It II June's "Third Wednesday" Health

and Safety Committee lecture featured Dr. Leon Lane, an opthomologist, speak­ing on "The Eyes Have It."

The lecture, held at Mailman Building June 20 from 1 to 2 p.m., was open to all members of the university community as well as to the public, as are all "Third Wednesday" presentations.

Voc-Ed Graduates Doing Great Things

The doctoral program in Vocation, Technical and Occupational Education, directed by Ross Moreton, will be three years old in September, but it's already established an enviable record of accom­plishment in its field .

Close to SO graduates (with IS to 20 more due to graduate by next January) are advancing the frontiers of vocational­technical education in six states and more than 40 school districts. Four of the graduates are employed by the feder­al government as high-ranking officers in charge of education for the military.

Many of the research projects com­pleted by the students as part of their course requirements have been imple­mented, and are making a significant contribution to their institutions. Oliver CampbeU, of the Miami Alpha Cluster, for example, did his MARP (Major Applied Research Project) on "Main­streaming of High School Ed ucable

Mentally Handicapped Students Into a Program of Cooperative Distributive Education."

Other particularly significant projects include: "Manpower Needs in Mental Health Technology" by Carol Cooper; "Identifying More Disadvantaged and Handicapped Students at Steinmetz High School (Chicago) by Utilizing All

Staff Members Instead 01 Unly Voca­tional Education Teachers" by James Luebker, and "A Simulation of the Career, Political, Economic and Social Aspects of a Proposed Airport" by Gene Little

"Nova is proud of its graduates, and they have every right to be proud of their accomplishments in Nova's V.T.O .E. Program," Dr. Moreton said .

Microfiche Camera Available The Center for Higher Education has

a 3M microfiche camera that's available for use by Nova faculty and staff. This

camera films documents on microtiche, a 4" by 6" piece of film that holds 98 letter-size pages. The film is silver-based and of excellent quality.

Anyone who would like to use this camera is invited to do so, providing he's willing to do his own filming (Richard Pratt and other staff people will be happy to teach anyone how to do it), and will make advance appointments for its use.
