HowToGet There From Here

You've got your books, your course out­line, your notebook and two new pens, and now you're all set to ace that course.

The only problem is, you haven't the vaguest idea of how to get started on that research paper you've been assigned, and the thought to trying to navigate through the uncharted wilds of your local library leaves you singularly unthrilled.

Fear not. Help is on the way. Prof. Gary Feioberg is laking his classes on a field trip to the library one Wednesday evening toward the end of October, to introduce them to the wonders and delights of such willing helpers and guides as "The Readers Guide to Periodic Literature," "Sociological Abstracts," and the like. Any Nova College students who wish to come along for the ride are more than welcome to do so. Call Prof. Feinberg at 295 to reserve your place.

Nova On TV TV without commercials!

That one of tbe distinct pleasures of cable TV which, not too surprisingly, is rapidly expanding its service and gaining enthusiastic audiences throughout the county. Another distinct pleasure is tbat cable TV - or more specifically Selkirk TV, which is franchised to service the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and 1IalIanWiI. -has allocated one channel for Nova's ex­clusive use. Which means that the univer­sity will now have an additional, and ex­tremely effective, way of telling the com­munity about its activities, its people, its accomplishments, and its goals for the future.

Marion .Bell is coordinating the program production for this major new undertak­ing. Anyone with ideas to offer is asked -urged - to call her at 753-3300.

There's Still Time ... to sign up for some of the great courses that are being offered at Coral . Springs this term. Deadline for regis­tration is Oct. 19. The courses are: in­troduction to Electronic Data Proces .. ing, Humanistic Psychology, Psycho)· ogy, Contemporary lifestyles, and a group of Education courses. Applica­tions are also being taken for business majors who may earn cooperative edu­cation credits by serving as Junior Achievement advisors.

"Present Pleasure"

It's a gond play - a very moving play -and it's being presented by the Pompano Players, a group that's become one of the most popular community theater compan­ies in the area.

It's also a provocative play - one that will raise, and perhaps answer whatever questions people might have about foster parenting.

The play, titled " Present Pleasure," and the in-depth discussion on foster parenting that will follow, are being .ponsored by Nova's Foster Parent Project in coopera­tion with Family Service Agency, National Action for Foster Children (both are the Broward cbapters) and the Broward Foster Parent Association.

PRESIDENT'S

MESSAGE President Carter, in a recent address to

the nation, spoke ahout the need for a spirit of cooperation, and a willingness to make hard decisions and search for alternative solutions to our problems.

This message, and its hidden .... genda message asking us "to leave the world a little better than we found it", applies, I believe, to Nova University as well.

The challenges we face here are great. We are an institution without a large en­dowment, at a time when the college .... ge population is declining, in a society which is apparently more concerned with energy shortages, inflation and unemployment than with quality education, dealing on ·a daily basis with an educational establish­ment zealously seeking to preserve the status quo and opening suspicious of alternative educational modes ..

The challenges we face are great - but so are the opportunities afforded us. We have here an opportunity to create an in­stitution of higher education which reflects the specific needs of modern society, and which can and does meet them in ways that will significantly benefit vast numbers of people now and in the future.

All of us - faculty , students, staff, ad­ministration, alwnni, and friends and sup­porters of the University - must continue and redouble our efforts to maintain a free and open dialogue, to continually reassess and improve our programs and services, to renew our commitment to provide a quality alternative institution of higher education, and to work to make this noble and lofty vision a viable reality.

With your help, it can and will be done.

Free School lunches .

The University School is ag .... in par­ticipating in the National School Lunch Program for pre-school through eighth grade students. This program enables all students, regardless of their family's in­come level, to receive nutritious meals in the school cafeteria at a nominal fee or at no fee, with the help of a federal subsidy and commodities. For children of families whose incomes are ahove the minimum (as set forth in the Florida Income Guidelines), the prices of lunch are: Lower House I - 60 cents; Lower House IT and Middle House - 75 cents; Upper House I - 95 cents and extra milk for 15 ents.

Children whose families have incomes - that fall within the guidelines are eligible

for free milk, and free or reduced-price meals. Those whose families have incomes not within the guidelines, but whose medical, shelter or other special neces­sary expenditures exceed 30 percent of their incomes, may be eligible for reduced. rate lunches.

For further information on this pro­gram, call Dr. Randazzo at the University School. The phone is 475-1666.

Microcom puters: Revolutionary

"The age of the microcomputer is here," asserts Dr. Robert Burke, Director of Nova's National Teacher Education Pro­grams. "Within a few years, microcom­puter systems will be widely used in schools for hoth instructional and ad­ministrative purposes. Being computer-lit­erate is rapidly becoming more and more important for today's teachers."

To help people prepare for this coming revolution in word processing, information management and computer-assisted instruction, NTEP h.- developed a series of courses on the use of its second-genera­tion microcomputers. These courses, in­dividualized and designed to meet the needs of teachers, trainers, managers and other administrators, may be taken in­dividually, as a concentration within a ma­jor (at the masters or specialist level) or as a complete program (at the masters or specialist level).

The month-long courses are now offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 4 to 8, and all day Saturday starting Oct. 13. For a free demonstration of what these ,nighty midgets can do, or for further in­formation ahout the courses, call Dr. Ed MartIno at ext. 340 (in Broward); 659-3515 or 832-1700 (in Palm. Beach); or ~28 (in Dade).

Public/Private Cooperation Needed In Oceans Research

Oceans Program, Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Congress, recently wrote to Dr. George Lawniczak, Nova's' Executive Director of Science and Technology, to ask his assistance "on a study of Ocean Research Technology that the Office of Technology Assessment's Oceans Program has recently initiated. Your knowledge and experience in this field would help us focus on the major na­tional issues ... "

The following are portions of Dr. Lawniczak's reply to some of the questions contained in the staff planning paper which Mr. Johnson sent for Dr. Lawnic­zak's consideration and comments.

Areihere any Important Issues and sub­jects of national concern that the study falls to address?

Clearly, the role of the free enterprise system, i.e., business/industry must be in­cluded in the analyses and projections. Such inclusion does not appear to exist. In fact, it appears that the Federal Govern­ment is planning to become involved in projects that should be performed by busi­ness/industry, notably those which relate to the possibility of oil and gas resources. Why should tax dollars be expended on re­search and technology development that involve as a final goal a marketable, hence, profiiable product? Energy, fish­eries, and minerals all relate to this same concern. Instead, why not explore the ways that an economic environment could be created that would permit and en­courage the free enterprise sector to per­form the research and technology de­velopment that leads to commercial pro­ducts and processes?

Finally, wbat ahout the declining sup­plies of fresh water? Or preventive medicines from the sea? Certainly, the ocean technology should be developed for these hasic survival ne<*is.

Are the approach and methods adequate or should they be modified?

Nothing is stated ahout establishing PRIORITIES of identified needs. Since we can't do everything - and shouldn't -

Mrs. Bell At Coral Springs Marlon Bell, widow of the late Dr.

Richard Bell (Director of Learning Tech­nology) has joined the staff of Nova Uni­versity at Coral Springs as special assis­tant to Coral Springs Director, Dr. Pat Distasio. Mrs. Bell's work will focus on learning-technology-<>riented programs.

She is currently working on alternative educational modes which use television, newspapers, and films to complement classroom instruction, and taking an ac­tive part in the successful effectuation of the new classroom/media courses in­itiated this year. Mrs. Bell is also rewriting and redesigning the university's entire undergraduate pro­gram in Public Communication, which will be centered in Coral Springs. .

A third project in which she's become actively involved is NovAir, a series ·of cable TV programs to be aired on one channel which Selkirk Cable TV Company has designated exclusively for Nova's use. Mrs. Bellis now contacting center and pro­gram directors to discuss the kinds of television shows they believe would best show their academic programs to their best advantage.

Program Expands Horizons A pilot program that goes from 10 ner­

vous first-timers to 60 enthusiastic par­ticipants in only one year must be doing something right.

They're definitely doing something right at Carver Jr. High School in Coconut Grove, in a unique program developed by Nova College's Natalle Smith, and a Nova College alumna, Rolde James. The pro­gram's goal is to further the education of teacher aids, specifically minorities, enabling them to earn their degrees and qualify for certification as teachers.

Ms. James herself was a teacher aid for 20 years, and knows from personal ex­perience how a degree can open up a whole spectrum of professional opportunities. For further information ahout the pro­gram, call Ms. James at 446-1806 (Dade) evenings, or Ms. Smith at 587-0660 ext. 295 (Broward) days.

priorities must be used to determine what technology development will be supported. But who is going to do that? And how? Relative to the increasing numbers of "have nots" in the world and in our own country and their unrest, unless we can ef­fectively deal with "people problems," particularly basic survival needs, we are going to create an environment in which these have nots will have no choice but to simply take what they need for survival -with total chaos as the ultimate result.

Are there any recent reporta or other related ongoing studles the study should take Into account?

Producing a bibliography germane to studies of America and the ocean should prove to be quite embarrassing to the Federal Government in that considerable study has already been done but little meaningful. and purposeful action has re­sulted. A.quote from the DOC document references previously reads, "In 1969, the year that 'Our Nation and the Sea' was issued by the Stratton Commission, Fed­eral ocean programs were located in 6 de­partments, 4 independent agencies, and 17 agencies or subagencies within the depart­ments. Ocean programs today are ad­ministered by 10 departments, 8 inde­pendent agencies, and 38 agencies or sub­agencies." 64-17; 10.s..38. Hike! Who's got the ball?

Who are the people and the organiza­tions who should be contacted during the study?

Besides business/industry, Marine Resources Development Foundation in Fort Lauderdale and Plant Ocean 'in Miami should be contacted... .

The issue of effective leadership at the Federal level is the most critical in my opinion. Until we cleanup our leadership and management act, all the studies and good intentions in the world won't do one thing to clean up our oceans and lead to re­establishing a working and friendly rela­tionship with our ocean.

University School Moves Forward

The move to the Parker Building has been quite a challenge to the students and teachers of the Upper House II of the Uni­versity School, but one they're meeting and accepting with pride and delight.

"The teachers sense a new feeling of maturity and responsibility in the students," reports Marlene Turk. "Every· one feels that the move has facilitated a more academic learning environment and a stronger sense of student identity. Over­all, the move provides a big step forward in the continuing growth and development of the University School goals."

Civic Leader To Head Gold Key

Henry J. Stella, prominent Broward civic leader, philanthropist and patron of the arts, has been elected president of Gold Key of Nova University, an association of community leaders dedicated to the sup­port of the university.

Stella, a long time friend of Nova and a member of Gold Key for five years, has been one of the .committee chairmen, with his wife, AlIne, of the Florida Derby Ball which benefit the university.

An industrialist with business interests hoth here and in Detroit, Stella has been active in the United Way, the Heart Fund, Juvenile Diabetes, the Fort LAuderdale Oral School, the Navy League, the North ·Ridge Hospital, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of the Arts, The Broward County Youth Symphony, and the Fort Lauderdale Symphony.

Gold Circle Toasts Its New Members

Gold Circle of Nova University, a newly chartered organization dedicated to the support of the university and its many community projects, met for the first time for a champagne brunch at the home of Mrs. August C. Paoli, Sept. 25, to welcome all charter members and perspective members and formulate plans for a busy and exciting year of activities.

Co-hostess for the brunch was Mrs. Sheldon J. Schlesinger. The officers are: Mrs. Robert Steele, president; Mrs. WUIIam Holland, first vice president; Dr: Ruth SchmIdt, second vice president; Mrs. Jack LaBonte, secreiary; and Mrs. Hugo WaJdhelm, treasurer.

'Student Of The Month'

Wes Plummer has chalked up a record of accomplishments that would do justice to ten people - all twice his age - and has won the respect and admiration of his en­tire community for his selfless and ener­getic dedication to a raft of concerns, great and small.

Wesley Plummer

A participant in Nova's Masters Pro­gram for Child Care Administrators, Wes is the Executive Director of Neighhorhood Day Care Centers - and several dozen other things as well. Uke being a member of the Harrisburg, Pa., City Council. And a member of the Greater Harrisburg Coun­cil of Churches. And the host of a radio show on WKBO and a television show call­ed "Black Perspective." And a member of the Midget Football league of Harrisburg, and head coach of the Cumberland Colts· and the Rarrisburg Cowhoys semi-pro football teams. He's made two record albums, written editorials for the Har­risburg Patriot News, and organized a Clean-A-Thon, a family outing for children at Camp Shikellamy, a high school career c9nference, a food drive for the elderly for Thanksgiving, and an organization called C.L. U .E. (Christian Love United for Everyone). And with all of this (which still hardly scratches the surface), Wes still manages to find time for his wife, Linda, and his twin children, Wesley II and Wendy. Which alone is no small accomplishment.

Not too surprisingly, Wes is also doing great in Nova's Program as well. "Dr. (Richard) Goldman (Director of the Pro­gram) has become more than my program director. He's also a genuine friend," writes Wes. And then he goes on.

"I enrolled in the Nova Program in July, 1979, expecting a challenge that would in­crease my awareness and stimulate my personal development. Never did I expect the Program to be so meaningful of, and committed to, meeting the individual needs of each student.

"Those who criticize Nova are doing so without first hand knowleddge, and are ac­cepting the word of others because of their dissatisfaction with the Program's suc­cess. It has become successful because of the calibre of people directing the Pro­gram, and the students who are enrolling in the Program. I am manUed with en­thusiasm to not only complete my Pro­gram, but to be an active recruiter and perhaps, in my spare time become a visit­ing professor at Nova.

"Thanks again ... " And !bank you, Wes.

Focus On ... ----The Center for the Study of Law----

Dean Lewis Says,

Law Centers Future Never Looked Brighter

Nova Law Center is literally and figuratively on the move. Faculty, staff and students justi­fiably exude optimism as they return to a new campus - GOODWIN HALL - located only minutes from downtown Fort Lauder­dale and the Braward County Courthouse. With 64,000 square feet of usable space, Goodwin Hall offers a striking home for the Law Center, one competitive with the facilities at any other law school in the region.

The campus constitutes the most visible change, but there are other even more signifi­cant developments that almost assure attain­ing within a year our goal of plenary accredi-

Dean Lewis tation by the American Bar Association and subsequent membership in the Association of American Law Schools.

The curriculum , buoyed by the presence of six new faculty members, offers new courses and seminars geared to the de· veiopment of litigation and writing skills to complement our expanding clinical program. At the same time, course offerings in the theory of the law continue to be strong, often delving into the rarified a·tmosphere of in· creasingly complex and specialized areas of the law.

Thus, the curriculum provides students with the opportunity for a systematic exam· ination of legal institutions and doctrines , how they function and their theoretical aims and values. The depth and diversity of the curriculum reflect the superb quality of our dedicated and dynamic teachers. The in· creasing number of scholarly faculty publica· tions in law journals has also led to national recognition and acclaim for the Law Center.

The support of the practicing bar for the Center provides additional encouragement. The Broward , Dade,and Palm Beach County Bar Associations continue to maintain close ties with the Center and to lend its programs their active support. The Continuing Legal Education Program, produced in ccopera· tion with bar associations on the local, state, and national levels, will be expanded during the coming year with additional prQgrams featuring prominent visitors and topics of great interest. Nova programs for compara­tive legal study of the United Kingdom are scheduled for July and August, 1980. A Latin

American comparative law program will also be offered in 1980. International seminars already offered in 1977d978, and 1979 have been very successful in deVeloping rapport and enhanced communication between the attorneys of the United States and other countries.

The Law Center - an enclave of law books, scholars, and professional research as· sistants - offers members of the bar a com· plete legal research center that fulfills most of their professional research needs. Our C.L.E. programs, we believe, help signifi· cantly in fulfilling the practitioner'S profes­sional education needs.

A new institute, {he Nova Center for the Study of Publi"c Law, has been designed and is waiting approval from the University's Board of Trustees. The Center of Public Law will focus its activities on current socio·iegai problems and will seek out opportunities to engage in scholarly research, consultation, litigation, and education to promote respon­sible, ethical, and fair public sector behavior in the face of changing public needs , Re­search and development of proposals for legislative reform will be a major concern of the Center. Faculty, alumni, practitioners, and students will be recruited for implemen· tation of its various programs.

Despite our new location, research collec· tion and faculty of qualified individuals, we would have little about which to boast with­out the active support of the alumni. In ap­preciation of the past contributions alumni have made to the Center, this coming year will witness the first of a series of Annual Alumni Days, featuring social events and educational programs. As in the past, we look forward to the deep involvement of all alumni in every facet of Law Center development: jUdging in appellate and trial settings, lectur­ing to classes, developing new programs, sit­ting on committees , designing curricular modifications, assisting with placement of graduates and clerks and obtaining financial support.

The future will soon see expansion of our library facilities beyond the 100,000 volume mark, augmented with computerized re­search devices. Seeking to develop one ofthe most electronically sophisticated libraries in the South, we will install a LEXIS legal re· search facility, PLATO computec.assisted educational terminals and a library collection organization facility such as PALLOTS.

We believe that the Law Center will con­tinue to provide our students with the knowl· edge and skills required to perform effec· tively in the panoply of roles assumed by mday's lawyer: counsellor, advocate, so· cial engineer, educator, leader, humanist, protector and creator of human rights. We shall continue to try to impart not only an appreciation of what the law is and what it is for, but also a sense of what is good law.

This is not an easy task. But our faculry and students are ready to renew their efforts with a greater sense of pride and unity as members of Florida's youngest (and sturdiest) law school. All in all, Nova's fu· ture never looked brighter or better. Events of this past year herald a great era for legal education at Nova .

Law School Moves To New Facility

The Operating Engineers BuDding at 3100 SW 9th Ave., Fort Lauderdale, is the new home of the Center for the Study of Law.

. Workmen have been busy all sum· mer doing extensive renovations to the build· ing to turn it into a facility that's close to ideal in every way.

International Legal Issues

Discussed At Law Seminar International drug traffic, taxes and in­

vestments, labor, and legal matters re­lating to family and social trends were among the issues of vital international im­portance discussed at Nova's fourth Com­parative Legal Seminar, co-sponsored by the Federation of Colombian Women At­torneys and the Inter-American Bar Asso­ciation last month in Fort Lauderdale.

Among the distinguished speakers were Karen Deerow, fonner president of N.O.W., who delivered the keynote ad­dress; Dr. Aydee Am:ola Linares, State COWlSellor of the Republic of Colombia; Leon SlIverstrom, Chief Counsel for the United States Department of Energy;

I

Judge Frank Orlalido of the 17th Judicial Circuit Court; and Dr. Edgar Moncayo Jimenez, Director of the National Institute of Foreign Commerce, Bogota.

Law Center Initiates Institute For Public Law

First a new dean; then a new building, and now a new Institute dedicated to the study of legal problems which effect the public interest - things are really moving at the Law Center.

The·new dean is Dr. Ovid Lewis; the new building, the Leo Goodwin Sr. Law Build­ing, is the fonner Operating Engineers Building at 3100 SW 9th Ave., Fort Lauder­·dale; and the new Institute, organized partly because the dean knew from ex­perience that such a research center could be of enonnous benefit to the community, and partly because the .Law Center now has room for such communitY-<lriented an­cillary programs, is called the Institute for the Study of Public Law.

Prof. Cberyl Eisen, Administrative Director of the Institute, describes it as a center whose purpose is "to study a number of different kinds of public prob­lems - problems relating litigation, re­search for legislation, research projects for state and local governments, and edu­cation of both the public and the bench and the bar."

Each project which the Institute under­takes will have its own Director, and a staff consisting of Nova Law faculty, Nova Law students, and experts in that particu­lar field from both within and outside of the legal profession.

The first project to be undertaken by I!JC Institute, Prof. Eisen says, is the develop­ment of a handbook on juvenile law in Florida, which will be a compilation of all the laws and decisions currently on llie books.

Those with other problems of a public nature they feel might benefit from the In­stitute's assistance are invited to call Prof. Eisen at 522-2300.

The Taxmen Cometh

Of the two absolute certainties in every­one's future, one more or less takes care of itself, while the other has become so com­plex that it. requires advanced academic training of anyone who seeks to under­stand it, let alone deal with it effectively.

Which is one of the reasons for such an unusually large number of this year's graduates of the Law Center going on for their LLM degrees in taxation, says Prof. Don Uewellyn.

Another reason might be that Nova's tax courses are so thorough that students feel confident enough to apply to some of the most prestigeous schools for tax law in the country - and stand an extremely good chance of getting accepted, Prof. Uewellyn suggests.

Among this YPM'S graduates who are now pursuing '.i,M (Taxation) degrees are; Patricia Allen and Diane Lotti at New York University; Don Uncer at George Washington University; Robert Chaves at the University of Miami; and Bruce Tolan and Douglas Blanlnnan at the University of Florida.
