3 rites planned for May graduates
Commencement ceremonies for the spring term wi l l be held at 8, 1 1 , and 2:30 on Friday, May 2, Barth Engert, coordinator, said.
Business Administrat ion, Health and Liberal Studies wi l l have the early ceremony. The big Arts and Science college wi l l have its own separate rites at 11 a.m. The final ceremony wi l l be for graduates of the Education and Engineering colleges, he said.
Registrar Dan Chapman said there are 1,590 candidates for degrees and 1,369 of those have indicated they wi l l
/attend ceremonies.
47 artists offer ideas to Library
Almost — but not quite — to the deadline for entering ideas to provide UCF's Library w i th statuary, or other appropriate art, the selection committee had offers from 47 artists. Director Anna Marie Al l ison said.
The committee wi l l review the ideas submitted and narrow the field to 10 f inalists by Apri l 17, she said.
FINALE The UCF Community Orchestra wi l l
present its f inal concert of the season at 8 p.m., Apri l 16 at the Forest Lake Academy, Route 436, Forest City. The program is free, but donations wi l l be accepted for the orchestra's scholarship fund.
$1 million
Wayne Densch Inc. gives [X for athletic scholarships
W A Y N E D E N S C H
. . . generous donor
The largest grant in the history of UCF was pledged last Friday by Wayne Densch, the area's Anheuser-Busch distributor, in the form of a $1 mil l ion fund for athletic scholarships to students who meet UCF's strict academic requirements.
"The athletic program is a vitally L
important element of the maturing process for our hometown university," said Densch, founder and chief executive officer of Wayne Densch, Inc. "We believe that an academically strong athletic program wi l l contribute to the ongoing job of building UCF's stature."
Densch required that only students able to meet UCF's academic standards be eligible for scholarships. UCF requirements call for even higher grade point average than is imposed by the Florida Board of Regents.
"We want to encourage young men and women who are good students to participate in our athletic program," said Densch, who has long been a supporter of all UCF sports. " I have always believed a wel l - rounded education is enhanced by the values gained in compet i t ion."
UCF President Trevor Colbourn praised Densch for "an ongoing sense of concern and a continuing display of loyalty to UCF. This most generous sign of his affection is gratifying and cer
tainly presents a milestone in UCF's short 18-year history."
Athletic Director Gene McDowel l said, "The gift provides a huge lift in our cont inuing effort to build a first rate athletic program on the belief that our men and women athletes should perform in the classroom as wel l as on the field. Over the course of the next 10 years, the income produced by the fund wi l l generate the equivalent of about 140 ful l scholarships. Once the fund has matured, the grant wi l l translate into enough ful l scholarships, for example, to cover starting teams in basketball, baseball and soccer each and every year . . . about 25 annual ly."
Densch, a native of Louisville, Ky, came to Orlando in 1960 and purchased the beer distr ibutorship w i th sales that year of 550,267 cases. In 1985, sales in Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties had soared to 5.5 mil l ion cases.
"The Central Florida communi ty has been very good to our organizat ion," Densch remarked. "Growth has been extremely good and we feel it our duty to contribute back to the communi ty . "
Either do as your neighbors do or move away.

Faculty-Students-Career Service-Administration— all involved
Planning Council to rewrite UCF's goals Addressing the spring gathering of
the Faculty Assembly last week UCF President Trevor Colbourn carried forward his early promise of involving all concerned w i th the affairs of the University by announcing the formation of a University Planning Council.
He said this should include representation from each of the five colleges, career service employees, administrat ion, students and alumni.' Approximately 50 percent of the council membership wi l l be nominated and elected by each college, he continued.
He called for a redefining of objectives by as wide as possible representation of people who wi l l engage in collective involvement and stay involved and that six to eight months from now when he hopes to see a plan for the University to the year 2000 that interest wi l l cont inue in order to educate the public on the direction UCF plans to go.
The new provost, he said hopefully, wi l l be chosen in t ime to be deeply involved in the plan and its evolvement.
The text of President Colbourn's message fol lows:
" A university, by its very nature is or should be a collegia! enterprise where faculty, staff and administrators have a large stake in the insti tut ion's future. We owe it to ourselves to determine our future for ourselves, whi le maintaining a proper sensitivity to the needs of the community that created UCF and has so large an interest in our success. And
that sensitivity does and should include local media — which, I remain convinced, are no less interested in our success than is the campus community.
" I , for one, and I hope, for many, feel we can and should be proud of our accomplishments as a very young regional state university. We have already established some programs wi th a growing national visibil ity but which respond realistically to Central Florida's needs. At the same time, we should recognize what some are inclined to discount: We are, quite literally, an adolescent in the field of higher education. Nonetheless, we need to carefully address and consider the ways in which we choose to grow to maturity, a maturity which wi l l relate to regional needs and the realities of a wor ld that never satisfies every wish.
" I think it vitally important that we look at ourselves in our own mirror and together agree whether the picture we see is how we would wish to appear. Are we what we think we are? Have we been too assumptive as to our sense of our present identity and characteristics? Indeed, a proper question has to be whether we like what we see in that mirror and if not, what changes are in order. And if there are changes we can agree on, what they should be and how should we accomplish them, given an informed assessment of available resources.
"Certainly we have ample research
material on which we can base such an assessment. UCF is hardly new to inst itutional planning. Thanks to the hard work of Les Ellis and many of the Deans, we have had several earlier Master Plans and Mission Statements which have been developed over the University's short history, Plans wh ich were developed wi th substantial input from both the campus and the larger community and which provide valuable information about UCF's evolution.
"My own impression is that we have tracked such plans remarkably wel l . But planning, to be effective, requires constant updating and the product needs to be much more famil iar to the campus than seems to have been the case. In other words, an effective plan is one that is known, that is recognized, that is current. Campus historians wi l l recall that our first major Plan dates back to 1969. Our most recent was undertaken in 1982 and expanded in 1985. I think our current and future efforts should draw heavily upon the experience and insights reflected in these earlier efforts. As John Locke might remark, we are not faced w i th a tabula rasa other than in terms of our famil iar i ty w i th these earlier efforts.
"It is my belief that we need a new approach to strategic planning for UCF, one which wi l l tap the energy and commitment I have seen in abundance on this campus over the past several months in particular. As one colleague
remarked, at least one local observer of UCF may have seen a duckling and mistook us for a rather ugly swan.
"How do we approach this new planning process? The most efficient method would be the appointment of a small committee of administrators. But any potential gain in efficiency could wel l deny UCF the benefit of a campus-wide commitment to and involvement in a plan for our collective future. In my view, we need the widest possible participation in this process: I invite your active participation, I solicit it, I want it.
"This w i l l be and needs to be a task addressed in the same light as the current quest for our new Provost — in the sunshine w i th broad campus representation which wi l l insure a thoughtful expression of views and their careful consideration. Let me emphasize the importance of this enterprise. It must engage your collective attention and involvement. It wi l l be a real test of our capacity for collegiality and a wi l l ingness to get and stay involved.
"Now to the proposal: "The charge is to define the goals and
priorities of UCF for the balance of this century and to identify the steps to be taken for their accomplishment. The process should culminate in a substantive report f rom my office to the campus and our community, w i th completion targeted for six to eight months.

FSEC shares Navy offshore project for pilot training
Research at UCF's Florida Solar Energy Center wi l l help develop and operate a future sea-based electronic system for training Navy pilots in s imulated combat conditions.
The prime contractor, North Wind Power Co. of Vermont, is designing eight towers to be anchored 30 miles off-shore in the Atlantic, f rom Jax to S.C. The towers wi l l house electronics and their own power sources.
The primary source wi l l be the photovoltaic system that takes its power from the sun. Two assistant engineers at FSEC, Robin Vieira and Don Kilfoyle, are working under subcontract to design housing and air condit ioning that wi l l keep the equipment in the towers at best operating temperature.
The two have been putt ing in part-t ime on the project for a year and expect to continue into 1988 when the towers are scheduled to be in place and operational.

Regents pass equity funding favorable to UCF A resolution adopted by the Florida
Board of Regents on March 27 favorably treats UCF's funding position for 1986-87, regardless of how much the legislature votes for academic enhancement.
The formula, advanced by Regent Joan Ruffier of Orlando, provides 60 percent of any enhancement money shall be used for equity funding. She heads a subcommittee that wi l l work for a long-range formula for all nine state universities that is both fair and understandable.
The March 27 agreement recognizes that UCF and three others in the system need extra funding to be brought up to average. If the legislature passes the $8 5 mil l ion enhancement fund in the original BOR budget it would give UCF an added $1.4 mil l ion in equity funding.
President Trevor Colbourn, reporting
this to the Faculty Senate later in the same day of the BOR meeting in Tallahassee, praised Regent Ruffier's advocacy of the hometown university and said that by her persuasiveness the formula motion passed unanimously.
He noted that UCF would still share in the 40 percent balance of enhancement funding
In another action solely for UCF the board amended its already submitted budget to include $173,371 to provide seven support positions next January when UCF-Daytona Beach moves into a new building on the Daytona Beach Community College campus.
The Credit Union's request for a building site on campus was deferred again, this t ime to give Chancellor Charlie Reed t ime to work out a policy that would be the same for all nine universi-

ties on whether Credit Unions should, or should not pay, a reasonable lease to the host insti tut ions.
Tuit ion increase of 27 percent over the next five years, voted by the board, wi l l change a typical undergraduate tu i t ion bill f rom $1,008.70 in 1985-86 to $1,307.54 in 1989-90. Florida's tui t ion ranks 42nd among 50 states, the chancellor said, and the increase would still be below average for today's rates. Financial aid wi l l be increased $5 mi l lion over the five years.
An analysis of the nine universities for actual enrol lment as compared w i th beginning of year projections resulted in redistribution of budgeted funds at the board's March meeting. UCF was alloted an additional $69,411 in this classification that came to be known as "Corridor Funding".
Planning Council to rewrite UCF's goals " I propose establishing a University
Planning Council as a first step. It should include representatives of the five colleges, career service employees, administrat ion, students and a lumni . Approximately 50 percent of the council membership wi l l be nominated and elected by each college.
"The first task wi l l be a redefinit ion of insti tut ional objectives and a situational analysis — i.e., where we are now, as compared possibly to where we may think we are. The next need wi l l be an assessment of our needs, our opportu
nities and obstacles we need to consider in attaining such opportunit ies. This in turn wi l l lead to a study of the strategies to be selected to overcome such obstacles in order to reach our objectives, leading them to an action plan and identifying who wi l l do what and when.
"It is clearly one thing to develop a new and updated plan; it is another to communicate that plan to our various publics. This plan wi l l have particular importance for University Relations in
Senate eyes role in decisions In a special meeting to clean up year-
end business the Faculty Senate on March 27 adopted two resolutions aimed at keeping the senate involved as a partner in the general education program and in use of computers on campus.
One resolution recommends that the provost implement formal procedures to send any changes in the General Education Program (courses or structure) proposed by the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, to the Faculty Senate 90 days prior to taking action. Final action wi l l then be taken after considering the recommendations of both sides
(Undergraduate Curr iculum Committee and Faculty Senate).
The other resolution urges creation of a committee to study computer use on campus, collect data and budgetary information, and report to the senate by next fall on needs, costs and possible alternative funding/cost options as wel l as other means of attaining better access for faculty research and class training and other use arrangements.
The cited goal of the latter resolution is " to irnprove student and faculty skills and to increase the marketabil ity of our students."
its fundraising and related activities. Whi le we have, as I have remarked, a good record in planning, we have had a poor record when it comes to communi cation and promotion. I should note that this planning process should be ongoing, that in all probability we wi l l need to look forward to a biennial planning process.
"The University Planning Council wi l l have the responsibil ity for determining the University's goals, for appointing necessary task forces for research and analysis (chaired by a member of the UPC), task forces which would conduct public hearings and select strategies and action plans for consideration by the UPC. The Planning Council must also resolve questions of constraints and priorities which reflect the input provided by the Task Forces.
" In conclusion I want to make clear that I take this process seriously. I * believe it can assist our development as a young insti tut ion enormously, that whi le the f inal determinations wi l l be made by the President of UCF, the campus and the communi ty (and let me hastily include our very successful Central Florida Research Park as a locally important constituent) has every right to expect to recognize the f inal outcome and its relationship to this strategic planning process,. Thank you . "

Beth Tai Wong (accountant I I I / Finance & Accounting) is a Taiwan native, living in Orlando. She holds a BA in Business from the University of Cincinnati and worked for the Cincinnati Microwave Co. Her husband's name is Jerry and they have a son, Henry, 2. Music and cooking are her diversions.
Marie Pecoraro (data entry operator/ Registrar), a native of Bristol, PA., lives at Orlando and worked for the Orange County Health Department. Her church choir is one of her favorite interests and working in a ministry to the sick is another she f inds rewarding.
Robert W. Duniho (maintenance mechanic/Physical Plant) was born in McComb, III., and Formerly worked for the Seminole County School Board. He lives in Winter Park w i th wi fe, Nancy, and daughters Elizabeth, 10, and Jau-qui l in, 3. His sports interests run to golf, skiing, tennis, soccer and f ishing.
David Pierce (property c lerk/Bookstore) lives in Sanford but his roots go back to Strawberry Plains, Tenn. He has three grown sons, Mike, David Jr. and Scott and for hobbies he'l l take f ishing, camping and movies.
cal Engineering, provided author Dudley R. Bahlman wi th an overview of the industry in Central Florida, as wel l as technical knowledge and personal impressions that wri ters like to get into their work.
In the process, UCF was mentioned as the spawning ground for people wi th new ideas who can create new businesses to put them into effect. The art i cle relates, "UCF conducts an electro-optics research program through its Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers (CREOL), wh ich has, over its 13-year history, awarded 40 master's degrees in electro-optics and last year granted its first PhD in the f ie ld . "
The account continues wi th information about the 1,300-acre research park adjoining the campus where two photonics companies and the Navy, Army and Department of Defense training devices center is rising.
Mart in Marietta is acknowledged as the beginning for most of the laser optics businesses that have mushroomed in the area and Wi l l iam C. Schwartz, president of Schwartz Electro-Optics, as the "father of Central Florida photonics." Schwartz is a member of UCF's Council of Advisors, the Industrial Advisory Board for CREOL and last June was conferred an honorary doctorate by the college.
Phillips said he got immediate responses from colleagues in other universities across the country who read the article and thought it very favorable to UCF.
It also helps at a t ime when UCF is conducting a national search for a CREOL director. The application deadline came before the article appeared, but "having somebody else wave our flag for us certainly wi l l help us to hold the applicants and we have had some strong candidates apply," Phillips said.
The article also appeared before the International Society of Electrical Engineers held their meeting in Orlando last week, he noted.
Ernie Studly does a job unnoticed but essential
Trying to keep thousands of feet of outside industrial pipe unfrozen in zero weather convinced Ernie Studly that what his wi fe, Barbara, had been tell ing him made sense. It was t ime to move to a warmer cl imate.
Studly, the Employee of the Month for Apri l , and Barbara, quit their jobs in New Jersey and in June of 1979 headed to Florida w i th their two chi ldren. He cast about the state to f ind where a pipefitter f i tted the needs of Florida industry and he was called to report to UCF in August 1979 to become a cousin of a pipefitter, that is, a plumber.
He has been here since and loved it. Wi th Pete Pilkington, who was already on campus, Studly handles all the University's plumbing needs, maintenance and new installations, in all the bui ldings except dormitories, and for any complications they help out in the dorms too.
The obvious plumbing work is keeping the restroom faucets, drains and commodes working, but there are also the water drinking fountains and the pump system for the reflecting pond fountain. Then there are air, vacuum and gas lines in the laboratories to be maintained.
" I like working here because I'm always busy and that makes for a fast day. And since I move a lot f rom bui lding to building I get outdoors a lot and get the exercise I need.
" I meet a lot of interesting people. I meet a lot of good people who are conscientious about their jobs. Building Service people don't let the fixtures go unrepaired. They let me know," he said.
The way Studly finds most of his work is through Kay Harward, receptionist at Physical Plant. She takes all the incoming calls and dispatches people on maintenance jobs.
Studly's constant companion is a pocket radio telephone through which Kay reaches him wherever he may be.
When it comes to new work, Bob Rousselow, trades supervisor, assigns one of the plumbers, whi le the other must handle all the maintenance until the new work is f inished.
The Studlys settled down in a Winter Park home where he can raise vegetables in the back yard. He also likes to fish and play enough golf wi th the UCF Golf Association to keep his score under 90.
Barbara has a secretarial job wi th the telephone company and when they are both off they like to do things together like going to New Smyrna Beach. He's looking forward to something else they wi l l do together in May, take a seven-day cruise from Miami to Mexico, paid for by their son, Robert, and daughter, Linda, to make their 25th wedding anniversary a memorable one.
Robert lives at home and works toward his degree in physical education next December.
Linda married a boyfriend she had known before the family moved and she lives in New Jersey, and so do the Studlys two grandsons, Vincent and Michael.
The family ties give the Studlys reason to go back to New Jersey on visits and their returns to Florida give them reason to remember that it was a good decision they made in 1979.

Faculty Assembly redefines responsibilities of Senate #The Faculty Assembly last week
adopted a change in the consti tut ion of the Faculty Senate, redefining that body's responsibilit ies.
The old wording defined the senate as "an advisory and recommending group to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. . ."
The new definit ion begins: "The Faculty Senate shall address itself to academic matters which concern more than one college and to general educational pol icies."
It continues: "The Faculty Senate is the basic legislative body of the University. As the elected body of the Faculty Assembly, the Faculty Senate may formulate its opinion upon any subject of interest to the University and adopt appropriate resolutions. Resolutions
addressing those areas of authority legally reserved to the President and the Board of Regents would be advisory in nature only."
The section continues by saying each resolution of the Senate wi l l be forwarded to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who shall act upon the recommendation wi th in 60 days. A veto, by two-thirds vote of the senate, would result in an appeal to the president.
A veto by the president could be appealed to the Board of Regents, fo l lowing the same procedure specified for the vice president.
President Trevor Colbourn, presiding over the Faculty Assembly vote, said he would respond to senate resolutions within 30 days.

Volunteer makes a no-expense operation out of UCF Library's weekly book sales
Dorothy Wagonhorst is a retiree who has found satisfaction, appreciation and fr iendship in volunteering her t ime and talents to the cause of UCF and its students.
For the last five years she has given at least a half day a week to help out in the Library, conducting the surplus book sale. Every Monday afternoon, through the fall and spring terms, she opens "s to re " near the checkout counter.
One wal l of closed and locked shelves is bared and loaded handcarts are rolled out. In her blue, UCF-decaled smock, Mrs. Wagonhorst opens for business. Sometimes the browsers are so thick a line forms for the chance to study tit les.
Wi th her empathy for students the volunteer collects friends as numerous
as her books. She wri tes down their requests and at a future sale she produces the kind of works they need, if she can possibly f ind them. Often, students wi l l confide about their lives and aspirations, wh ich causes her to rejoice over their later t r iumphs.
One young man she especially liked seemed to have a borderline chance of graduating. Wi th deep satisfaction, she relates his rising fortunes and self-confidence, his academic successes, his acquiring a good job and his for thcoming wedding in June. "He invited me and I'll be there," she assured.
The books that bring Mrs. Wagonhorst and the students together are donations to UCF. Though the common term "books" is convenient, in

a year there may be as many periodicals as books. Sometimes the gifts are documents, maps and pieces of art.
Donors hope their gifts f ind their way into the Library's permanent collection. In the first nine months of this fiscal year the Library had received 8,313 books, 8,104 periodicals, 651 documents and 1,204 items classified as "o ther " .
From that intake, the Library added to its collection 778 books, 307 periodicals, nine documents, seven "o ther " and 84 copies of books already on the shelves.
After the separation of what the Library wants to keep, an invitation is extended to other libraries to take what they want . "Many of our gifts are textbooks and they aren't much in demand anywhere, " Andrea von Jares, who handles gifts and exchanges, explained. "So they go into our book sales."
The objective is to get the items into the hands of somebody who wi l l use them. Most hardback books are offered for 50 cents and paperbacks for 25 cents. Some especially f ine books are priced at $2, but those are not as numerous as the books offered for a nickel.
After two months on the sales shelves books are priced at five cents, and if they don't sell the next month they go out the back door. This has been a good year in revenue produced by the weekly book sales, w i th an income to date of $1,732.43.
The revenue, however, is not the goal. The objective is to use the gifts to the best advantage, making them readily available to whoever can use them.
Library Director Anna Marie Al l ison explained, "Area public libraries hold a book sale once a year. It is a t ime-consuming task, storing books, acquiring space and demanding t ime from paid staff.
"Here at UCF we are fortunate to have a volunteer. Moving the sale books out in a t imely way helps the space problem and Dorothy Wagonhorst 's free service enables us to make this a no-cost operat ion."

Terrorists need to be understood, ex-hostage says
The way to treat the terrorists of the wor ld is to learn about what they want in order to f ind grounds for negotiating, Moorhead Kennedy, one of the Amer i can embassy hostages in Tehran, said . at UCF last week.
Kennedy, retired from the U.S. Foreign Service, made noon and evening talks on campus under the sponsorship of Campus Ministry. He is executive director of the Council for International Understanding and is wr i t ing his first book, "The Ayatollah in the Cathedral: Reflections of a Hostage."
On a television talk show after his release Kennedy was able to ask his captor why they had taken the Amer i can embassy and held hostages for more than a year. What he learned was that the media paid no attention to Iran's revolution unti l the embassy was taken. Only then did Americans learn where Iran was.
"Terrorism might serve to use TV— this tremendous way to educate people—to teach them about the rest of the wor ld , " he said.
He predicted the reality of terrorism would be a part of wor ld survival for the next generation.

The kind of mail we like to read
(The following is a letter sent to President Trevor Colbourn and Athletic Director Gene McDowell prior to last Friday's announcement of a million dollar endowment for the benefit of UCF and its athletic program.)
Gent lemen: I am pleased to announce that Wayne Densch has asked me to commun
icate to you, on behalf of Wayne Densch, Inc., some very good news. On Friday, Apri l 4, 1986 at 11 a.m., Wayne Densch wi l l announce, on
behalf of Wayne Densch, Inc., his declaration of intent to establish a trust fund—endowed wi th $1,000,000 for the benefit of the University of Central Florida and its athletic program. The purpose of this fund wi l l be to provide a min imum annual annuity of $100,000 per year for ten years to the University of Central Florida. Wayne has authorized me to deal directly w i th the proper University officials on his corporation's behalf in order to set forth the details and criteria of this gift and to implement it. The principal criteria wi l l include: (1) The gift may be used to fund scholarships. . . (2) . . . for young men and women. . . (3) . who are athletes . . . (4) . . . and who meet the University of Central Florida's academic admission requirements.
Gentlemen, as you know Wayne believes that the athletic department of any university, if properly administered, provides an excellent focal point around which alumni loyalty and support for the entire University can be generated. The purpose of the gift under consideration is, in considerable part, intended to assist in establishing what hopefully wi l l become one such focal point for the University of Central Florida. It is further hoped that, by making a major gift, sufficient momentum and credibility for the athletic department wi l l be provided so as to encourage the notion that gifts of any amount wi l l , indeed, make a contr ibution to the success of this program.
In establishing this gift, Wayne believes that the University of Central Florida has an excellent opportunity to make a strong statement—to set an example about the proper perspective that athletics should play at a major university; to wit : that a university's athletic department is for athletes whose major purpose is to pursue a college education. We are all aware of the inappropriate or distorted perspective that too many universit ies' athletic departments have established and the dismal graduation record of their athletes. Wayne is proud of the University of Central Florida and of the people selected by the University to administer its athletic program. This gift is intended as a sincere expression of confidence in the University, its faculty and administrat ion; but most of all it is an expression of hope for and belief in its students.
It is the University's mission to put the f inishing touches of good cit izenship upon the future members of our community. Wayne is confident of your ability to perform this task and is proud to play a small part in it. I, too, look forward to working w i th the University in this matter. Sincerly yours, R. Alan Rainey Mil ler and Rainey, PA . Attorneys and Counselors at Law
