Television discovers UCF makes good news
Drs. Wilson and Lawson promoted
Two long t ime members of the uni versity community wi l l be promoted July 1 to newly-created assistant vice presidential slots in Student Affairs.
Carol Wi lson wi l l become assistant vice president for Student Services, and Kenneth Lawson, assistant vice president for Administrat ive Services, said LeVester Tubbs, vice president for Student Affairs.
Wilson joined UCF in 1969 as a member of the College of Business Administrat ion faculty. She became dean of women in 1971 , and associate dean of students in 1980. She earned her MBA and PhD from the University of Florida.
Lawson is a charter member of the staff, who served as director of the Student Center from 1968 to 1980. Since that t ime he has been assistant to the vice president for Student Affairs. He holds a PhD in leisure studies f rom the University of Il l inois.
In her new duties, Wilson wi l l oversee the Creative School for Children, Recreational Services, Student Center and student organizations, or ientat ion, Greek organizations and the women's program. She wi l l continue to work closely w i th the dean of students in counseling and referral of students and the judicial process.
Lawson's added responsibil it ies w i l l include the coordination of personnel, research and budgeting funct ions of the division. Reporting to h im wi l l be student government and evening/weekend and area campus student services.
In addition to the two promotions, Tubbs also announced a name change wi th in the division. What is now Cooperative Education and Placement wi l l become the Career Resource Center on July 1 .
Pay details begin to emerge
What did the Legislature do about salaries?
Faculty and in-unit A&P can expect a five percent increase in August. Non-unit A&P personnel are to receive an equivalent increase effective January 1 .
Career Service employees, currently w i th in the jurisdict ion of the Department of Administrat ion, are scheduled to become Board of Regents employees in 1986. On the matter of pay status, DOA labor relations specialist Dave Wilson said that the impact of the legislation on Career Service personnel wi l l be known when the Legislature issues a letter of intent " in about two or three weeks." The increases would be effective Jan. 1, 1986.

Dressing UCF for success By Dean McFall
Director, Public Affairs
In the nine or so weeks I've worked in a public relations capacity for UCF, one conclusion stands out above the many others that have forced themselves upon my tired brain: UCF is far f rom naked of achievement even though the community and larger Central Florida region may underestimate the University's wardrobe of strengths and resources.
That's a welcome situation for a new PR person. At the very least, one doesn't have to cope w i th the di lemma of fashioning a silk purse out of a sow's ear w i th the unsettl ing foreknowledge that the effort is likely to yield no more than a deaf pig. The reality of UCF's quality is amply sufficient to sustain building a better public image based upon accomplishment in academics.
Given the raw material out of wh ich a better public understanding can be crafted, the PR job is reduced to one of communicat ion — of util izing all media, from TV through billboards and word-of-mouth, to tell who we are and how we accomplish the University's mission in ways that are believable and readily understood.
We wi l l not convince anyone of the University's uncommon qualit ies by shouting our virtues and expecting acceptance, though. Rather, belief — like any conviction — must be earned through credible communicat ion. Only the most trust ing person would blindly endorse the proposition that UCF has an outstanding faculty on the strength of the claim alone. On the other hand, even the skeptic m.ght accept the
thought if it is put in terms of the number of fu l l - t ime faculty members holding doctorates and the result ing elite company UCF shares w i th such schools as Oberl in, Wesleyan and Wi l liam & Mary.
Indeed, that approach describes the thrust of a public service announcement soon to be released to TV stations in our region. Overal l , our PR strategy for gaining a reputation equal to UCF's reality wi l l be to seize upon events and circumstances large and small that engagingly show the University of Central Florida to be "a special place, in a special place."
No matter how wel l executed, though, every PR strategy wi l l fall short of conveying the impression of an insti tut ion growing rapidly in academic quality if the perceptions and practices of those who make up the university community conflict w i th the desired image. An outsider wi l l be ill-disposed to associate UCF w i th quality of any sort if that person has poor experiences w i th the University. Those experiences can range from such seemingly minor fai l ings as al lowing a phone to ring off the hook before answering it to major league examples of rudeness or thoughtlessness.
The underlying t ruth is that public relations and marketing is too important and too mult i-faceted to be left in the hands of experts. As Tom Peters and Nancy Aust in wrote in their recent book A Passion for Excellence: "Excellence is a game of inches. No one act is cl inching. But a thousand things, a thousand, thousand things, each done a t iny bit better, do add up to memorable responsiveness and dist inct ion.
In what may mark a UCF record for electronic media attent ion, TV crews from two Orlando stations and an NBC Network news team visited the campus on three successive days last month to profile the TV presence and wi t of two '85 graduates and to report on the serious business of graduates f inding jobs in business.
The coverage ended on a zany note on May 23 as a crew from Channel 6's PM Magazine interviewed the comic team of J im Huckaby and Stuart Smith, both 1985 graduates out of UCF's Radio-TV program. The pair, unconventional to a fault, conducted the interview whi le afloat in the reflecting pond, casting unsuccessfully for f ish and perhaps more promisingly for the publicity that can launch careers in the hotly competit ive field of TV comedy.
Channel 6 was drawn to the story by the off- the-wal l routines that Huckaby and Smith have developed for airing over local cable TV. UCF faculty have encouraged the pair and university faci l ities have been used as part of the duo's independent study work in TV and f i lm production. The PM piece is likely to run sometime in late June or early July, Channel 6's field producer said.
PM Magazine staffers appeared on campus one day after an NBC Network team gathered footage for a background report on the nation's "Class of ' 8 5 " for NBC Nightly News w i th Tom Brokaw. The piece was broadcast last Friday.
The New York producer and the technicians and a reporter, who work out of NBC's Miami bureau, spent the morning of May 22 interviewing UCF grads who were preparing for or leaving on-campus job interviews. In the afternoon, the crew taped classroom and computer laboratory scenes, as wel l as interviewing J im Gracey, Director of Cooperative Education and Placement.
Gracey's interview ended on the cutt ing room floor, but the footage on job hunters Kristine Vey and Thomas Netherton, both '85 graduates, was a featured part of the 4-minute report to a national v iewing audience. Campus and classroom scenes also were incorporated. Altogether, UCF material comprised about half of the report.
"NBC relied on UCF in much the same way a movAie director uses a set — as an appropriate background for a script that already has been wr i t t en , " Dean McFall, Public Affairs Director, said. "They identif ied UCF once. In itself, that 's valuable national exposure. Many schools and businesses would go to nearly any length for a single network mention in a favorable context."
Channel 9 News started the parade of TV taping on May 2 1 , when it covered the same subject as the NBC Network team the next day. The report, wh ich aired the same night as it was shot, featured Gracey in the famil iar role of an authority on the job market and the types of graduates most in demand by business and industry.

Engineering eyes move to CEBA I in mid-July That great big, red building materializ
ing on the back side of the campus wi l l soon be the focus of everybody's attent ion.
CEBA I, the College of Engineering's phase of the project, is due for complet ion July 1 1 , reminds Associate Dean George Schrader. He and Associate Professor Clarence Head have been "eng i neer ing" a big move for many months.
But contract completion date and the day a new building is ready to be occupied don't always coincide.
"We wi l l come pretty close to substantial completion on July 1 1 , " Paul Hayes, superintendent for the contractor, P. J . Goodwin Corp., said Monday of this week. "On the f irst week of June we went to a double shift. And I think we have a couple days coming to us, because of the cold weather in January," he commented.
Schrader has already accepted the idea of not start ing the move unti l Monday, July 15, and even then it w i l l be partial at f irst and gradual at all t imes. "Our f irst priority is to have the classrooms funct ional — ready by Aug. 19 , " he said.
CEBA I, the f i rst phase of the Center for Engineering and Business Admin i stration, shapes up as a four-story brick and glass rectangle near the portable buildings on the northeast side of cam
pus development. It cost $7.4 mil l ion to build.
"Not just a rectangle. A series of rectangles," Hayes retorts. This has been a diff icult job, a sophisticated job where the accuracy was very crit ical. There were nearly a half mil l ion bricks used and they all have to be handled one by one, " he reminded.
CEBA I w i l l provide 40 labs, or 25 more than in the old bui lding. The number of 50-60 student classrooms wi l l increase f rom nine to 18 and 50 faculty offices wi l l be added for a total of 110.
The higher number of labs puts UCF into the 50 percenti le for space available to students in comparable schools around the country, according to Schrader.
Head elaborated, " In the old building we have 15 major labs that serve two, three or four funct ions. They are open from 7 a.m. unti l 10 p.m. CEBA I wi l l accomodate more students and a greater number of lab courses."
Schrader noted that 5,000 square feet has been allocated for three specialized labs: the Clean Room, where incoming air is highly f i l tered for the fabrication of microchips; the Computer-Aided Design Room for computer engineering, and the Light Wave Technology Lab, used to study the
Grant continues search for sun-produced power
The Apri l list of grants compiled by the Division of Sponsored Research includes $515,000 from the Department of Energy to continue another year's research on producing electricity f rom the sun w i th photovoltaic cells.
Gerald Ventre, deputy director of Florida Solar Energy Center, is the project manager of a study that, at this t ime, has four professional engineers and is about to add two. Gobind Atmaram is the principal investigator.
The research at UCF's Cape Canaveral extension wi l l be into sun-tracking modes, reliabil ity of systems, establishing interconnection criteria. This wi l l lead to construct ing and operating a rocf integration facil ity to improve the array mount ing techniques.
The professional solar energy industry and builders wi l l be kept abreast of FSEC's developments through workshops and seminars, Atmaram said.
The study began in September 1982 and received $2 mil l ion f rom DOE up to the current al lotment. Other sources of revenue must be found to continue the study for its projected five year life, Atmaram said.
Also at FSEC, M. K. Khattar received $48,862 from NASA to study heat pipe applications for increased dehumidif ica-t ion in air condit ioning.
Other grants in the Apri l list: M. A. Johnston, DSR, $48,857, f rom
DOD/NTEC for additional support for the development of manual war game based training system prototypes.
C. D. Surles, Human Resources, $25,000 from the McKnight Foundation for the Center of Excellence for minority recruitment and retention.
S. E. Omans, English, $1,428 from various sources to provide technical wr i t ing instruction and services.
M. B. Hunt, Account ing, $266 from TTP for video taping assessment of faculty members.
W. W. McHone, Economics, $6,000 from Barnett Bank for study of economic impact on Florida.
A. Pizam, Dick Pope Institute of Tourism, $3,000 from CFHMA for impact study for hote l /mote l industry; $3,800 from Cypress Gardens for tourism market research survey; $3,000 from MNTO for another tourism survey, and $7,150 from Silver Springs Inc. for
another tour ism survey. R. G. Cowgil l , Education, $14,430
from FL/DOE for in-service training for elementary and secondary level teachers.
J . E. Biegel, Industrial Engineering, $5,000 from UCF/EIES for development of research projects for CIM laboratory.
J . H. Dixon, $1,245 from UCF/EIES for study to determine educational needs of the construction industry in Orlando.
D. C. Malocha, Electrical Engineering, $4,475 from UCF/EIES for analysis of apodized surface acoustic wave fi l ters.
Bary Beck, Sinkhole Institute, $14,126 from DOD/AF for study of the causes of localized land subsidence in the MacDill Air Force base area.
communicat ion processes in fiber optics and laser technology.
Engineering classes wi l l be held in CEBA I in August, but the labs wi l l start in the old building and wi l l be moved gradually to the new building during the fall semester.
Students and faculty w i l l be recruited to move the sensitive lab equipment by hand trucks and on pushcarts, Schrader said. "We could move during a stu
dent's assigned lab t ime. They can just pick up the equipment and take it to their new lab."
Engineering plans to move lab equipment, except for that in the first floor labs, wh ich wi l l be taken over by the College of Health. CEBA I gets ail new furni ture so most of the furni ture in the present classes and offices wi l l stay.
U.S. foreign policy rates high with German observer
In a speech last week at UCF, Carl-Christoph Schweitzer, a West German international relations expert, berated the U.S. press for sensationalizing President Reagan's visit to a German cemetery which contained the graves of SS members f rom the Nazi regime.
Schweitzer, current ly a professor of political science at the University of Bonn and of international affairs at the University of Cologne, said that except for those born since 1945 the Germans are wel l aware of their country's part in the greatest atrocity committed in man's history and are stil l struggling w i th the question as to why they let it happen. His countrymen did not view Reagan's visit to the cemetery as condoning or minimizing what occurred 40 years ago. Schweitzer reminded the audience that many from the non-Jewish population were also persecuted by the Nazis. He added that his own father was imprisoned for holding ant i -Nazi beliefs.
Speaking f rom a strong background in West German politics earned in part through membership in the German Parliament, Schweitzer said the U.S. foreign policy since 1945 is highly approved by his country. He said that countrymen credit the U.S. as "having been the prime factor in maintaining liberty and peace in Europe." His country feels that America's policy of containment of the Communist forces is sound, but decried the generation of West Germans born since World War II ( two-thirds of the population) who lack historical perspective and don't see the need for containment. "They were born into a system of security and lack the

facts of the past and what our country owes the U.S.," he claimed.
Schweitzer said that America also rates high in its policy w i th the Middle East, wh ich has been primarily " to keep the peace and to keep Israel in existence." But in America's relations wi th Asia, Afr ica, and Latin America, the West German's rating ranged from excellent to very poor. Schweitzer said that America's misperception of the problems in Asia, exemplif ied by our "domino theory," led to America's "greatest mistake and tragedy." The vision of "a great Communist p lot" was unrealistic, he added, as was America's belief that Asian people were able or wi l l ing to embrace a form of government similar to America's. Schweitzer said the Nixon's policy of " let t ing the people in Asia work out their own problems" was more sound.
