o December 1982 - January 1983 W Nova Law Center Receives Full Accrediation from

American Bar Association ... Dedication of Goodwin Hall Set January 22

by Jennifer P. MIriam On January 22, 1983 at 2 p.m. when

Chief Judge J. Skelly Wright of the D.C. Circuit addresses those assembled for the dedication of Goodwin Hall, the Nova Law Center located at 3100 S.W. 9th Ave., a milestone will have been met.

Graduating its seventh class of lawyers last May, the Law Center now boasts an enrollment of 641 students, 251 of whom are women and 83 are members of minor­ity groups.

On any given day, a visitor who enters the Law Center will sense that he is in the midst of not only a dynamic and "happen­ing" kind of place, but a caring kind of place as well.

On a recent day, Dean Lewis whirled this writer through the Law Center's five floors ... propounding the excitement of each level.

You're invited to take a tour ... On the first floor, all administrative

offices are ensconced together with close access to the main hub of the Law Cen­ter's own computer center. Here, WANG word processing equipment maintains information from the total law center with system drive and archive drive, a retrieval system and its own printer - almost an instant library. Books, reviews for the Law Journal, theses, technical and statistical reports, catalogs and more .. . all are put together right here.

Nearby, Carol Roehrenbeck, a lawyer herself, and Director of the Library, which occupies second floor as well, plays host to another fascinating computer, with several more to come shortly. LEXIS, an on·line computer, gives access to federal and state legal databases. The state library. includes court decisions and statutes from all 50 states. The federal library includes securities material, the United States Code, tax materials, a trade regulation and

I I , , ,-

a patent, trademark and copyright library. There are also other fascinating features of this computer and there is a training pro­gram for all students so that each student will have "hands on" experience.

WESTLA W, another legal data base, is arriving soon. Much the same as LEXIS, WESTLA W does offer ~ unique data base, says Roehrenbeck, with the major differ· ence being in the search strategy.

Another computer, DIALOG, will in­clude periodicals and journals in its data base. OCLC, an on line cataloging system will soon catalog and process all library books, as well as print out all spine labels.

CAl (Computer Assisted Instruction) is also coming ... in this case with about 20 different data bases that are involved with

Fourth floor is reserved for facu.lty offices, as well as a faculty lounge.

Student offices for publications and clubs occupy fifth floor along with offices for Admissions, the Public Law Institute, the law office of the future, study lounge, and the moot court room where studento;; can practice trial law in a true court setting.

Several GIGI computer-graphics term­inals are being installed for student use, as well as three remote video viewing rooms where students C3n literally "see" themselves on trial!

Third floor houses classrooms and the student lounge, home of "Nova's Knoshes", operated by Shelby Vending. Sue Wolff, owner and manager, watches over Nova law students like a mother hen, one suspects. Daily, students watch for their favorite homemade soup. Lasagne is another favorite, as arc Joe's special om­elettes, prepared before your very eyes. Recently, the lounge has been redecor-

The Public Law In.tituto has been formed under the direction of Professor Joel Berman for the explicit purp",e of doing in-depth research on serious proh­lems of a public nature confronting our society.

Lynn Szymoniak, who direct' the Clin­ical Program at the Law Center, will op­erate an in-house clinic rr.prcsenting in­digents in domestic relations cases and guardianships for the elderly. Her office is being set up as a law office of the future so that student' will know first hand what to look for in setting up their own offices after graduation.

The trial advocacy pro~ram at Nova gives the Nova law Center the distinction of being the third largt.'St law school in the nation to offer an inten ... ive one week trial advocacy program. At the end of a full week's imen ... ive training, each student participates in a full simulate in the mOot court room under the supervision of an instructor.

A placement office under the dir<-'Ction of Sal Miraglia offers extensive referral, interviewing, counselling and opportunity listing services. Workshops are held periodically on such topics as inter· viewing, resume writing and joh sC'drch .

Mr. Wayne Williams Nova University Oceanographic Center 8000 Ocean Drive Dania, Florida Dear Mr. Williams:

On July 10, 1980, I had the good fortune to attend the Sea Survival School put on by Nova University Oceanographic Center in Port Everglades.

At the time I was most impressed with the school and as time would tell, I had the chance to put to practice what you taught in the school.

As Master of the Tug Jeanette Belcher, I feel you had a part in eight men being alive today. On April 17 , 1982, the Tug, leannette Belcher was en route from Tampa Florida to Lake Charles, Louisiana. At 06:40, the Second Mate reponed a fire in the engine room. We fought the fire until the intense heat and resulting explosion had exhausted all of our fire-fighting equipment. At 07:3 5. I was forced to abandon ship approximately 200 miles due west of Tampa and 140 miles south southwest of Mobile, Alabama or 27°4 'O"N, 87°38'5' 'W.

It was at this point what you taught staned to payoff. All of the things you said would . happen, did happen, even to the big fish hitting the raft at night. The cold, fear, and thirst were ever present and the next three days I shall always remember. The fact that I knew that I was doing the right thing to extend the time of life for myself and my men was a great comfort to me. Having only 16 eight ounce cans of water for eight men was not a lot, but with your training, we had 14 cans left when the Turkish ship, General Z-Dogan, picked us up.

On behali of my men, and my company, Belcher Towing, of Miami, I thank you and your splendid University for helping to save ('ur lives through enlightenment. Yours truly I Captain W.O. Whitlock Master U.S. M.M .

cation and the Colorado Supreme Coun Board of Law Examiners. Dr. Kelin holds a doctor _ of jurisprudence degree from Temple University and a doctor of philosophy (in politics) from Princeton University .

Miura E. CurraD, a postgraduate student in the Institute of Coastal Studies, has been awarded a six-month internship with the Collier County Government Complex in Naples, Florida. The internship covers

tuition in the institute's work-study pro­gram in addition to a modest stipend. This Nova student excelled in a state-wide competition among university students majoring in coastal resource management, marine affairs, and marine ecology. Curan will assist with the development of Collier County's Coastal Dune Management Pro­gram in addition to overseeing the planting of uniola paniculala (sea oats) by local4H groups.

· National Doctoral Program

~-----------------------SpansUn by Jennifer P. M.riam

Nova University's national doctoral program in business administration serves more than 70% of the U.S. population, with seven centers being located in seven major pans of the country. The weekend format, with classes meeting one week· end, or two days every month, allows the participants (who are working profession­als for the most part) to travel several hun­dred miles to reach regional centers. In ad­dition to the travel and class time, partici­pants must spend 10-15 hours per week in study groups, research, reading and writing.

Dr. Richard Biscomb, Director of the program~says that the concept of the seven major centers is indicative of the national scope of t he DBA program. In each cen­te r, the program retains academic and ad­ministrative counselors so that the stu­dents have on-site access to the university. These couselors serve as conduits between the students and the home campus staff and faculty.

In this slOry on the DBA program, you will meet persons from across the United States, hear what they have to say about the program, how they became involved and how they are progressing in their careers.

The seven centers are as follows: Fort lauderdale (Soulh Rorida): Draws

students from all of Florida as well as the Caribbean, Latin and South America.

Northern Virginia (Washington, D.C.): Draws from North Carolina, Virginia, West Vir­ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Mas­sachusewi.

Northern Indiana (Chicago): Draws from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio.

SI. louis: Draws from Illinois-Missouri, Texas, Arizona, Tennessee.

Los Angeles: Draws from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California.

San Francisco: Draws from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Nor­thern California.

Huntsville, Alabama: Draws from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Mississip­pi, Louisiana and parts of Florida.

Ray Thompson, an Engishman who teaches at the University of Pittsburg at Johnstown. travels from Johnstown, Pen­nsylvannia to the cluster in Washington which meets in Arlington, Virginia. Ray, who grew up in England, spent four years in Africa teaching at the University of Swazilaml where he met and married a girl from Cleveland, Ohio, says he learned about Nova from associates at Virginia WeSleyan College. He is now in his third year of the DBA program and he says, en­thusiastically, "If you've got an idea at Nova, there are people to help you out." Working on his dissertation, the applica­tion of system dynamics to financial man­agement of small businesses, Ray says he sees very few opportunities like the Nova opportunity, outside of a place like M.I.T.

Gregory Baxter, a member of the Los Angeles cluster, lives in Houston and flies to his classes in L.A. Greg, Area Person­nel Manager, Southwest Manufacturing Operations for Sperry Univac, was looking for a non-resident doctoral program when he found Nova. Gregory, who has also made 11 trips to Ft. Lauderdale in the course of his studies, says, "The lubrication that keeps the DBA program going is Tom Novak, Director of Opera­tions." It is Tom Novak who does all scheduling and handles admissions, ar­ranges for students to attend various classes.

In a company like Sperry Univac, with some 80,000 employees, Greg is planning a dissertation that will make a difference to his company who is footing the bill for his schooling. Greg will be looking for the fac­tors which detect sales success in prospec­tive account executives for his company.

An important plus of the DBA pro­gram, Greg says, is "Seeing the different approaches our peers take." For a man who travels 40,000 miles a year for his employer, flights to L.A. or Ft. Lauderdale once a month from Houston, are just routine.

Tyrone "Tony" Frye, who travels from Bristol, Tennessee to the cluster in Huntsville, Alabama is Manager of Train­ing for Raytheon Company, Missile Sys­tems Division in Bristol. Tony, whose pri­mary background is in human resources, has had experiences in industrial relations, employee relations, as well as in the chemistry, mathematics and quality ·con­trol behind such companies as Carter's Ink, The Electrolux Division of Consol­idated Foods. He and his wife Anne also own and operate Consolidated Business Services, a company which handles every­thing from accounting to public relations matters for businesses.

Bob Franczvai. marketing manager for a business forms manufacturer in Dallas, Texas, flies to the cluster in St, Louis for his class sessions and finds his sessions en­joyable and professionally rewarding, He finds the different experiences of his class­mates very enriching. Some of his peers are from the fields of academics, others are in the consulting field, the utilities and one is in graphic arts. Bob's firm manufactures continuous business forms and does much work for the microcom­puter involved in small business today. He finds Nova a "very viable alternative" to the traditional path of education, He had been "urged very strongly" by superiors to get his doctorate but, until he learned of the Nova program, there was no way for him to continue his education because it would have meant giving up his career and income, something not possible with a family to support,

Norm Gierlasinski, a student who began the program while living in Chicago and then moved to Great Falls, Montana flies to his cluster in Chicago once a month. Now teaching at the University of Montana, Norm, in fact gained his new post through contacl~ made in his Nova studies.

Since each student is required to puh­lish or present two papers and attendance of two national Academy of Management meetings are mandatory, last A pril Norm was presenting a paper at the Western Academy of Management meeting in Denver when he met the Dean of Business at the University of Montana, and thus was persuaded to join the University at Malstrom Air Force Base in GrC'dt Falls, Montana.

Students in the Fort Lauderdale cluster were more readily accessible to this writer and I had the opportunity of visiting with them in a Saturday class meeting.

Barbara Edwards, who is the DireclOr of Equal Employment Opportunities and Affirma­tive Action for Ryder Tmck Rental is one of this group anJ docs represent th(' women involved in the DBA program. Barbara travels 50% of lhi.' lime in her position and ha'i been with Ryder for six and one half years. Her dissertation will be in the field of human resou rces, somt'­thing that will make a difference in her company which has over 600 offices nationwide and 30 district'i which she visi ts yearl y.

With a husband, son and career, Barbara would not he able to pursue the doctorate were it not for a program .'iuch as Nova's.

Dr. Jane Gibson, Associate Director of the program, and the woman who is rt.. ... sponsible for scheduling clusters and co· ordinating the Academy of Management meetings says that the purpose of stuoents attending these meetings is threefold. First, students meet authors of textbooks and second, hear all the newest manage-­ment theories, Thirdly, they arc exposed to valuable networkin~ which results in active placement in new and better posi­tions. Nova holds meetings of their own in conjunction with these meetings recently the Nova meetings addressed "Research T opics in the 80's."

Dr, Gibson will begin teaching this January in the San Francisco cluster.

Nova College Day Division forms International Students Association

by SUZANNE FERRISS Being only three years old, Nova

College Day Division is in an ongoing stage of development. One of the latest developments has been the creation of the Nova International Students Association, affectionately known as NISA. (It rhymes with "Lisa".)

NISA was the brainchild of Dr. James Smith, the director of the Day Division, and Lisette Andersson, one of the Day Division's Student Activities directors, and a native of Sweden. Both Lisette and Dr. Smith were well aware of the growing number of foreign students (there are 30 presently) and the need to make the transi­tion to American Society a little easier.

NISA's first meeting was on September 20. A number of interested students turned out and were joined by one of our professors, Dr. Barbara Brodman, Dr. Smith, and our counsellor, Jean Lewis. Dr. Brodman brings to NISA her exper­tise' in working with foreign students at

the University of Florida in Gainesville. A t a later meeting, the officers of the

club were selected. Christos Ellinides of Cyprus was elected President, Leonor Duran of Colombia was elected Vice­President, Marcus Valerie of Trinidad was elected Treasurer, and Nancy Valladeres of Mexico was elected Secretary.

NISA aims to involve the whole of Nova University, not just the Day Division. NISA welcomes American stu­dents, as well as foreign students. They have involved the Nova lntensive English Institute and the Career Division. For ex­ample, Secretary Nancy Valladeres is a night student and hopes to involve more of the students enrolled in night classes.

Another of NISA' s objectives is to increase the number of student activities. They are planning two Christmas parties with different ethnic themes. They also hope to host dinner parties featuring foods from different countries. In the future, NISA hopes to host carnivals honoring

different countries. Through such activi­ties NISA aims to attract citizens from the surrounding community.

NISA is also working to compile information for a handbook for foreign students including the legal aspects involved in being a foreign student in America, how to go about getting a driver's license, how to open a bank ac­count, what to do if you become ill, and so on. It is their aim to be able to send this handbook to all accepted foreign students, so they will know what to expect when they arrive, student visa in hand.

NISA is presently sponsoring a number of fund raising events, such as bake sales, in order to establish a sizeable fund. Dr. Brodman suggested, as a result of her ex­periences, that NISA establish a fund in order that eventually they will be able to lend money to students who are exper­iencing difficulty in transferring money, cashing checks, and so on. H possible, NISA also hopes to establish a scholarship

for an outstanding Nova foreign student. NISA's latest achievement is the

creation of a soccer club, under the leadership of Norman Rodriguez, the newly-elected SGA President. At a meet­ing, Norman brought up the idea of creat­ing more sports activities. It turned out that many of NISA' s members played soccer, so the soccer club was born! There are presently 20 members in the club, 10 each from the Day Division and the In­tensive English Institute. The soccer club has purchased equipment and is presently training in preparation for exhibition games against the University School and BCe. Next year, the soccer club may become a varsity team. Already pleased with the success of the soccer club, NISA is considering forming a volleyball club.

b, Pat Ciabotti

South Florida educators interested in education of the gifted gathered on October 7 at The University School to participate in a one-day comprehensive workshop. Led by Dr. Joseph S. Renzulli, a nationally known researcher and pro­fessor of educational psychology at the University of Connecticut, and Dr. Sally M. Reis, Coordinator of the Gifted and Talented Program in Torrington, Con­necticut. This workshop succeeded in pre­senting effective answers to needs ohen expressed by professionals in the field of gifted education.

The morning session saw Renzulli and Reis demonstrating the Renzulli Enrich­ment Triad Model for developing gifted programs. Listed among the key features of the model were the defensibility, the practicality, and the ease of implementa­tion inherent in the prototype. A dramatic departure from the traditional approach to identification of gifted students was intro­duced: the Revolving Door identification

National Honor Society News

Senior Alex Rosenthal, president of The University School chapter of the National Honor Society presented to Dr. Joseph Randazzo and Dr. James E. Sntith a check for S 750, the amount raised by the NHS members in their Second An­nual Scholarship Raffle. The University School will match the amount and award a S 1500 scholarship to an upper school student who is in good standing aca­dentically, active in extra-curricular activities, and who is in need of assistance to continue at the school.

The grand prize of the raffle, a Sea­!!scope cruise for two was donated by Burdine's Travel. Other prizes included dinner for two at the Prego Restaurant, a tree from Griffin Brothers' Nursery, Davie, and gift certificates from local merchants.

Model Renzulli and Reis outlined the model's effective address of such issues as giftedness versus gifted behavior and spe­cific procedures for identifying gifted youth. Designed to overcome many of the problems associated with student selec­tion, this model has been field tested for three years in Connecticut and has been wannly received in many school systems across the country. (The Revolving Door Identification Model is currendy being implemented by Project Astra, The Uni­versity School's program for gifted students.)

Afternoon programming included techniques for compacting and stream­lining regular curriculum to allow gifted youngsters time to engage in differentiated curricula. The workshop closed with an impressive presentation featuring the work of children who had been involved in a Triad, Revolving Door program led by Dr. Reis.

News in Development Independent Education is NOT' 'Independent! ' ,

James w. Colvert, Director of Development

"Independent Education" is a phrase used in opposition to "Public Education". It simply means that the educational institution does not receive tax-dollar (public) support. Nova University is an "Independent Educa­tional Institution" according to this definition.

However I ,. independent I, should not be confused with "free' J , especially when we talk of education. Nova University, while being "free" of the control of state agencies, is certainly not "free" in terms of cost! No need to tell you, the reader, of the cost of tuition, iees, supplies, etc. Since many of you are alumni and numbers of others of you regularly sup­port Nova University, you know there is nothing I 'free" about education.

The opposite of "independent" is, of course, "dependent". We are all de­pendent on something or someone -there are few hermits left in the world. Nova University is no exception. Nova is dependent upon the many friends, supporters, students and parents who make regular financial support to the Uni­versity. A number of our students are de­pendent upon those who provide scholar­ship and student loan funds. Individual programs are dependent upon the enroll­ment of students (tuition) as well as those who make designated gifts to those programs. Question: what would be the status of our Center for the Study of Law without the generous support of the Leo Goodwin, Sr. estate? Question: what would Nova be today without the support that made the Parker Building, the

Rosenthal Building and the Mailman Building possible? Question: what can I do to help make Nova University even more effective in providing the excellence in education so firmly established?

The answer to the first two questions is rather obvious. Without the generous philanthropy . of those individuals for whom buildings are named, Nova University would be in sad shape. But! The answer to the third question may not be as obvious! Your gift to the University is ju~t as needed as any gift given in the past. Whether your gift is counted in millions, thousands, hundreds or tens -­Nova University needs and deserves your support.

Your gift works in at least two ways: 1. You receive the satisfaction (and recognition) of helping Nova provide the best in educational opportunities to its students; 2 . You receive a tax deduction of up to 50% of your adjusted gross income (Uncle Sam pays half of your gift!). Another way in which Y0l.\r gift works: "Independent Education can sur­vive only through your gifts - Nova Uni­versity is "dependent" on your generosity.

To make your gift to Nova University, simply make out your check in the amount you desire (make it out to "Nova University' '), designate it for the area you desire (if that is your desire) and mail it to:

DBA PrDgram (Continued from Page 5)

search, Distinguished Professor of Finance and Chairman of the DBA faculty, was re­cruited by Dr. Biscomb and came to Nova from Florida Atlantic University.

As director of research, Dr. Trivoli is quick to point out that there are strict guidelines to follow on the DBA disserta­tion. He stresses that the emphasis is on application rather than research alone. The actual solving of a real problem is the central theme of the dissertation. With 180 students in the DBA program cur . rently, tripling the figure of 48 just a year ago, Dr. Triw.iii points out that one must remember that these students come from across the United States. No school would have nearly 200 doctoral students in busi­ness in one loca tion. Dr. T rivoli en~

courages students to come and discuss their dissertations in the pre-proposal stage.

Post Doctoral Workshop

Nova University 's Post Doctoral Institute of the School of Professional Psy­

t ch<>logy, in conjunction with the Post ~... . ",Graduate Center for Mental Health of >:New York, will sponsor a two-day person-

ality disorders workshop in January, 1983.

Dr. Erica Fromm, professor emeritus in psychology at the University of Chicago, will address the topic, "Hypnoanalysis of the Borderline Patient. "

The workshop will be held on the Nova campus in the Mailman Hollywood Build­ing auditorium, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, January 8 and 9, 1983. For further information, contact Dr. Lindner at 475-7022.

Nova University Ph.D. students presenting papers at the convention were: Richard Hamilton - "Drug and Alcohol Refusal Training: A Description of Treat­ment"; Cheryl RllSh - "Hypnosis and Recall: Some Implications for Witness Interrogation"; Donald Larkin - "The Use of Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation: Panacea or Dead End?"; Gerald McKeegan - "Hypnosis in the Treat­ment of Phobias"; Joseph Sanford - "A Review and Analysis of Hypnotherapeutic Approaches for the Control of Smoking Behavior~" Dr. Uwe Geeru, professor­"Sigmund Freud at the Crossroads: Did he go left - or right?" and "Hypno­catharsis of a Combat Neurosis - Psycho­logical MDI>-up- operation after the McDuffy Murder Riot in Miami."

This spring the DBA program will of­fer a Dissertation Research Institute, one week of intensive study in research methods. The dates will be announced shortly.

Dr. Richard Biscomb, Director of the program says that the goal of the DBA program is to serve a substantial portion of the nation's population with quality pro-­grams not open to criticism by the busi­ness or academic community. "The pro­gram must be rigorous by its very nature," says Biscomb. "The program is not quick and not easier, but is more accessible," he says.
