His friends halfway to endowing 'Millican computer science chair'
A $1,000,00w endowed chair in computer science, honoring the first president of the University of Central Florida, is the goal for UCF and a group of area business and professional leaders.
To be known as "The Charles N. Mi l lican Endowed Chair of Computer Science," the endowment would "ref lect the esteem and fr iendship shared by so many for a man who did so much for our communi ty , " said Dr Louis Murray, the Orlando physician who chairs the local fund committee. '
At this point, the University has received pledges for nearly half of the $600,000 from private sources required to establish an endowed chair under Florida's Eminent Scholars Act.
In the next few months the committee wi l l contact prospective donors in order to qualify for the remaining $400,000 from state trust funds. It would be the second endowed chair at UCF
The search is now narrowing for an outstanding scholar to assume UCF's first endowed chair, the "Del ia Phill ips-Martha Schenck Chair in American Private Enterprise." This chair was created in 1980 through the generosity of the
Schenck Company and Dr. P. Phillips Foundation.
Mi l l ican, who recently was honored during UCF's December commencement by being named president emeritus, took the leadership of the fledgling University in October 1965. He stepped down from the presidency in 1978 and returned to teaching in the College of Business Administrat ion. Then he retired from the university system and opened a private consult ing f i rm in W in ter Park.
Trevor Colbourn, who succeeded Mi l lican to the presidency, praised the work of the Murray committee.
"This is a major honor for an educator, and I certainly can think of no one more worthy of having it bestowed than Charlie Mi l l i can, " Colbourn declared. "We seem to take for granted Charlie Mi lhcan's achievement and we should not. It was under his leadership that this University's f i rm foundations were laid. It was under his direction that cr i t i cal program decisions in the fields of engineering and computer science were taken. His commitment to quality and to serving Central Florida was tota l . "

To: Al l Faculty From: Vice President L.M. Trefonas Subject : Supp lementa l Compu te r Assistance to the
Faculty Date: January 29, 1 982
Many faculty at the University view the computer as a useful research tool but do not view the computer as an end
Publication of these announcements and memoranda about University policy and procedures constitute official notice to faculty and staff.
in itself. Therefore, the faculty's interest is l imited to the very uti l i tarian goal of getting their work done and no more (i.e. they have no desire to be "computer jocks"). Instead, the faculty are often confronted by the fol lowing situation:
(1) The faculty member has available a data set (usually in some processed form—tape or disk) and a program, previously operational at some other location.
(2) The problem is to get this program operational in order to manipulate the data set w i th the expected outcome of publishable results.
(3) Because of personnel shortages in Computer Services and the lack of expertise by the affected faculty, this process becomes unusually long and frustrat ing to all concerned. The effect can be to stifle motivation and interest in potentially important areas of research which have potential value to the State of Florida and the University. Through the cooperation of Bill Branch, and Terry Frederick (with the support of John Bolte), a temporary program is being set up to assist the faculty. The program acronym is SCAF which means "Supplemental Compuer Assistance to the Faculty." The program is very simple and direct. Selected seniors and graduate students w i th computer science and statistical computing expertise wi l l be assigned as SCAF fel lows to particular faculty or departments to assist: (a) in getting programs on the appropriate computer system; and (b) w i th resolving data set problems. These individuals wi l l be exclusively assigned to particular departments or faculty for a defined duration. During the t ime interval, the SCAF fel low wi l l provide computer assistance under the supervision of the Computer Services Division. The fel lows wi l l provide intensive instruction and technical assistance to faculty on problems directly related to using the computer in their research. At the end of the defined t ime frame, the fel low wi l l be assigned to a new project. Departments desiring additional support wi l l have to request an extensionor a later return of the fel low.
This program wi l l continue on an experimental basis unti l 30 June 1982. At that t ime, the program wi l l be reevaluated and a decision made as to cont inuat ion or not. Program benefits are fairly obvious: (1) provides direct computer support to the faculty, (2) relieves workload on Computer Services especially during a period of personnel tu rbulence; and (3) provides graduate students f inancial support and also provides consult ing experience in a variety of environments.
The SCAF program wi l l be managed by Dr. Hale Pringle of the Division of Computer Sciences under the general supervision of the SCAF Committee. The Committee, chaired by Dr. Roger Handberg, Graduate Studies & Research, wi l l consist of Dr. Davis, l&R Advisory Committee, Dr. Frederick, Department of Computer Science, and Dr. Pringle, ex officio. The Committee wi l l set general policy, review complaints and extension requests if necessary, and conduct a project evaluation at the end of the fiscal year.
Faculty members who are interested in obtaining such assistance should contact Dr. Pringle at x2711 or x2709. The program wi l l begin 15 February, 1982.

For budget preparation, the estimated costs of the basic phone equipment for 'he fiscal year 82-83 are: Flashphone: (July thru Feb.) $21.50 per month; (March thru June) $22.65 per month. ETS - 100: (July thru Feb.) $82.00 per month; (March thru June) $86.00 per month.
These costs are subject to change if the trunk charges from Southern Bell are revised.
When you make a cost comparison of the new system wi th last year's cost of telephone, please remember that the $1 20-mi l l ion price increase, approved by the PSC last December, would have increased the old costs 20 to 30 percent. This increase would have been effective 12 -1 -81 .

Academically Speaking
Trust fund revenues believed on target
Preliminary estimates of spring semester enrol lments have been completed as of 15 January. I am pleased to report that the results indicate UCF wi l l not experience a signif icant shortfall of incidental trust funds this year (based upon fall enrol lment, the shortfall could have reached $600,000).
The factors wh ich contribute to the relatively favorable situation we now f ind ourselves in were not anticipated. Because the drop in student FTE in the fall term threatened to result in an incidental trust fund shortfall for 1981 / 8 2 , vigorous efforts were undertaken to reduce the deficit including the adding of additional sections and improving advisement at registration.
Whi le student headcount for the spring term increased by 300 students (see Table I), credit hours and, hence, FTE continued to decrease compared to fal l term (see Table II). The number of student credit hours per student fell to approximately 9.65 compared to 9.9 during the fall term.
Thus, the University is now projected to have a deficit of 676 FTE students below the BOR-established enrol lment level. The FTE deficit is predominately at the upper division, which certainly complicates the funding picture for next year since it is primari ly the upper level that generates our major funding.
Despite the projected FTE deficit, we anticipate that incidental trust fund revenues wi l l be roughly on target for the year. This occurs for essentially three reasons.
First, our incidental trust fund requirement is based on 7925 FTE and was not adjusted upward by the BOR wi th the assignment of 200 additional FTE in Engineering as a result of special funding.
Secondly, we are collecting a signif icantly higher amount in out-of-state fees than was projected by the BOR.
It is our current estimate that out-of-state fees wi l l produce an excess of
approximately $180,000 over projections. This f igure, however, is based on the assumption that we would collect $425,000 in out-of-state fees in the spring term, an amount slightly less than that collected in the fall term (see Table III).
Thirdly, enrol lment was low in the fall term when fees were low, but high (compared to BOR projections) in the spring term when fees and, therefore, collections were sharply higher.
An unexpected factor in our f inal enrol lment f igures for the spring term was the reduction in enrol lment by 140 students and 3,469 credit hours during the add/drop period. This is totally at variance w i th the normal pattern in which we experience a slight gain as a result of the add/drop process.
In conclusion, whi le we are relieved that the shortfal l in incidental trust fund money seems to have been averted, there are many questions wh ich remain concerning future enrol lment patterns at UCF. Clearly the headcount is growing as anticipated, but FTE enrol lment remains lower than projected. A further study of the reasons for reduction of student FTE, average credit hour loads, and out-of-state student enrol lment is clearly in order.
Our FTE enrol lment level for the year remains a disappointment in spite of concerted efforts by faculty, staff and administrat ion to improve our position in this regard.
I very much appreciate these efforts and wish to commend all for your concern and support in negotiating this very trying period. I hate to think what our FTE level may have been wi thout your good work.

Did you know... Americans could select f rom 8,000
varieties of apples at the turn of the century? Today that number has dwindled to fewer than 1,000 varieties.
The decrease is due to the use of varieties wh ich have the characteristics of appearance and long shelf- l i fe rather than those w i th the traits of disease-and insect-resistance, hardiness and efficient ferti l izer uptake.
Scientists at the United States Department of Agr icul ture are concerned that the decrease in the number of varieties wi l l reduce the likelihood that future crop problems can be combated w i th genetic techniques.
