PAGE2 Alums & Students Reach Out and Touch Phone Pledges Total $75,000 When 38 alums and students steeled their courage in October and called alums to for financial support for New College, they ehcited pledges totaling $75,000. And, they had fun doing it! Over 90% of alums who were reached made a pledge. Special thanks are due to Mary Ruiz '73, who proved chairing the event bas nothing to do with sitting down, and to all the alums and students who so generously contributed their time and efforts. A number of local businesses, including several owned by alums, provided goods and services to help out. Grand prize winners were John Esak '67, who won a week in Vail, Colorado, for accumulating the highest total of pledge amounts, and student Karen Stasiowski, who won a radio/cassette player for receiving the most pledges from new donors. Those of you we couldn't reach, including the hundreds for whom our only contact was through your answering machines, still have a chance to be part of this year's fund drive and help us reach our goal of $100,000. For information about the newest alumnae/i project, see Ben Ford's request for Help!!, in the box to your right. Phone #s in 1990 Directory? A number of alums have requested the inclusion of phone numbers in the next alumnae / i directory. Before making the final decision, we want to know how many of you object to having your phone number published If you do not want your home phone published in next year's directory, please send notice to the Alumne/i Office or call either Mark Mudge ( 415-968-2016) or Carol Ann Wilkinson (813-359 4324) Let us know, also if your unpublished number can be given out for limited association use special projects, chapter events, etc. NIMBUS, FALL 1989 Student Dwight Trieber is shown with the infrared spectophotometer which New College was able_ to "pu:chase" through the Gifts in Kind Clearing House.

Plans are in progress for beginning the Alumnaeji Fellow program in 1990 by Ben Ford The alurnnae/i association board is currently drawing up plans for the Alumnae/i Fellow program, which will be in place by fall 1990 .. We'd like to hear any strong feeling or thoughts you have on how this new program might best be structured to benefit the college and our goal of increasing alum-student interaction. We plan to bnng_ alums to teach, lead seminars, sponsor ISPs, etc. The current tdea IS that we bring down one person per year, for a semester and an ISP, as a visiting facultymember. We arc working with the faculty (through the Provost) to find out what is really possible. Here are some of the questions to which we need to work out answers: Should the program focus mainly on bringing alums who are academia? Should we try to fiJI gaps the faculty perceive in the acadeffilC program, or should we try to get the best people for the college we regardless of their fields? Are there areas where alums have a perspective to offer? With what format would we make the best dtf ference? d We'll be moving as quickly as we can on this, in order to get It starte next year, so we need any input soon. Send thoughts to the alumnae/! office. Thanks! Ben Ford '83 and Raben Westeifeldl 79 are the alunmae/i board members heading up planning for the Alumnae/i Fellow program.

NIMBUS FALL 1989 PAGE3 A Political Rarity Lincoln Diaz-Balart: a politician with both convictions and a sense of humor As an undergraduate at New College Lincoln Diaz Balart '72 was involved in both campus and local politics. The former president of the Young Democrats is now a Republican state senator from Miami, Florida, and is ri ing to the forefront of Florida politicians. by Roberto Pacheco had been looted and burned. They never returned to Cuba. Diaz-Balart was elected to the Florida Legislature in 1986 by the largest mar gin of any state representative. During his fresh man term, he was chosen by his colleagues as the "Best in Debate." In 1988, he was reelected to a second legislative term without opposition and also served as national co chairman of "His panics for Bush" during the presiden tial campaign. As a House member, Diaz-Balart was New College alum and Florida State Senator Lincoln Diaz-Balart Diaz-Balart pursued his interest in Cuban history and politics at New Col lege. His thesis on the subject remains notable to this day for two reasons: first, it was one of the first teaching theses; and, second, it was one of the first theses to undertake a comprehensive study of a major Latin Amer ican country. Continu ing the family tradition, Diaz-Balart went on to receive his J.D. from Case Western Reserve Law School. He is presently associated with the distinguished Miami law firm Fowler, chairman of the Banking and Commerce subcommittee and served on the House Appropriations Committee. In 1989, Diaz-Balart won a special election for an open seat in the Florida Senate with 83 percent of the general vote. In the Senate, he serves as vice chairman of the Health and Rehabilita tive Services committee and is a mem ber of the Joint Select Committee on Growth Management Implementation. Senator Diaz-Balart, despite his many responsibilities and engage ments, finds the time to promote New College and assist in any way he can. He has worked to encourage Hispanic recruiting for New College in the Miami area. Diaz-Balart recently visited the New College campus to participate in a round-table discussion on socialism in Cuba and Nicaragua organized by O.J.M.E.L.A., the Jose Martf Or ganization for Latin American Studies. This student organization is dedicated to promoting Latin American studies at New College and fostering understanding between the campus and Hispanic communities. Although it was only formed in spring 1989, O.J .M.E.L.A. has quickly become one of the broadest based and most active organizations at New College. Diaz-Balart has been an ardent supporter of O.J.M.E.L.A. from the onset and was delighted by the oppor tunity to participate in this group's first organized event. The topic, Socialism in Cuba and Nicaragua, is one on which Diaz-Balart was raised. His grandfather and father were both active lawyer-politicians in Cuba. His aunt, Mirta, was married to the young Fidel Castro. But eventually, the Diaz-Balarts and Castro took oppos ing political stands. The family was in Paris when they learned of Castro's takeover and heard that their home White, Burnette, Hurley, Banick and Strick root. During his political career, Diaz Balart's philosophy has remained con stant anti-communist. The round table discussion organized by O.J .M.E.L.A. and moderated by New College Professor Terry Palls was held on campus on Friday, November 3, 1989, and at tended by about 100 guests. The par ticipants were Diaz-Balart and Dr. Harry Vanden, political science professor at University of South Florida. Diaz-Balart displayed not only his knowledge, but also his wit and political acumen. As one guest later commented, "He's a rarity among politicians, possessing both convictions and a sense of humor." Thanks to Diaz-Balart and Dr. Van den, the discussion was a smashing success. New College student Robetto Pacheco is a jow1ding member of OJ.M.ELA.

PAGE4 NIMBUS FALL 1989 Ne11V' College, Govemance and You USF President Borkowski appoints Sarasota Campus Academic Structure Task Force to i dent ify and evaluate alternative administrative relationships between New College the University programs and the office of the Provost on the Tampa campus President Borkowski has initiate d a long-awaited review of USF's re l ations with its various branch campuses. This review is of vital importance to New College As most a l ums know, our ad ministrative relationship with USF since the 1975 merger has been anything but smooth. These internal tensions be came quite evident in recent years, as local USF administrators were fre quently at odds with the New College community. The issue of campus governance came to the fore this summer, immedi ately after Bob Benedetti resigned as Provost. Dr. Benedetti's letter of resig nation stated that "It is time for the governance structure on this campus to change." And the implications of his resignation letter were widely dis cussed, with the "St. Petersburg Times" headlining its story: "New College chief resigns, cites power battle with USF." As one result, a new committee (Sarasota Campus Academic Structure Task force) was formed. It will exp l ore options for improving governance on the Sarasota campus. Further details about the task force, its composition and its mandate can be found in the accom panying Nimbus article. With the an nounced departure of Dean Robert Barylski, this group's deliberations ap pear especially important. Fundamen tal structural changes at New College are more l ikely now, given the absence of an incumbent Provost or Dean Are these possible changes good or bad for New College? Will they result in more autonomy for us within the Tampa structure, or will the USF ad ministration attempt to absorb New College? At this stage, nothing is cer tain with the following exception. It is clearly important for alumnae/i, and all others who really care about New College, to register their opinions during this review process. Although the Tampa administration did not place an alum on the task force, the alumna eli association intends to involve itself in these discussions, and to defend strong-by R obert W ester f eldt l y N e w College's a ut o n omy Yo u too can speak o u t b y wri t ing to individ u al members of th e tas k force ( see b oxe d article) or to USF Provost Gerry M eise l s a t t h e ad d ress b elow This review will b e the most c ru c i al exchange of i d eas since the merger.

NIMBUS, FALL 1989 Busy Fall! by BenFord It's been a busy summer and fall at New College. Here are some of the happenings most of this info comes from Interim Provost Bate's most recent report: Admissions is on a roll. There were more applicants for admission to this fall's class than there have been in seventeen years; fourth highest total ever. There are lots of pretty stats about the new students, but I don't like SAT scores, so if you want to know stuff like that you can call the admissions office and they'll be happy to tell you. Suffice it to say that more people are applying, and more of those admitted are coming, than was the case not too many years ago. The two new students whom I've met are nice folks, to boot. Impressive new faculty: Aron Edidin, philosophy, is the first NC alum to be appointed to a regular faculty position. Catherine Elliott, economics, and Suzanne Sherman, chemistry, are the other new members. An exciting (?) new addition to housing options at NC: In August the college took over the Viking Motel property to the north; about 25 students now live there. The Counseling Center has moved from E Building to the Parkview House Gust north of the Natural Sciences buildings), and has a new director, Dr. Anne Fisher. After a rough last year with very little in the way of counseling support available to students, thing are fmally back in gear in this area. Dr. Anne Fisher, new director of counseling services There are handicapped access ramps springing up all over campus. Someone must have let loose a breeding pair. Other construction projects, however, are still invisible to the naked eye. The folks at the Foundation are pretty confident that construction on the Caples cam pus art facility will begin soon, but I'll believe it only when I see it, knowing how the state system works. Come to one of the reunions and see it all for yourselfl Ben Ford '83 is the new chair of the Nimbus Edilorial Committee and a graduate student at University of Oregon in Euf!Jne. PAGE5 Aron Edidin '73 Alwn Becomes Professor by Drew Howlett With his appointment this fall as associate professor of philosophy, Aron Edidin '73 became the first New College alum to take a tenure track professorship at New College. Aron left his associate professorship of philosophy at Notre Dame for the opportunity to return to New College. Commenting on his eight years at Notre Dame and the contrast in approach to education, Edidin said, ... New College and Notre Dame are on far ends of the spectrum." Edidin was immediately struck by the way New College has retained much of its uniqueness. The educational structure, basically, has not "assimilated great changes." Edidin says that the most important constant is narrative evaluations in place of grades. One change he sensed was a slight increase in for mality. "Many more people addressed me as professor than I would have expected." What Edidin also finds surprising and amusing is noticing how many present New College professors taught him. "It is most incongruous having the same institutional relationship as those who were teaching when I was still a student here." Edidin took note of the development and improve ment of campus. He noted one distinct improvement: the overpass connecting Hamilton Center/Pei dorm area with the bayside campus. "Not having to dodge traffic on 41 is a welcome change for the better." The flexibility and open-endedness of New Col lege is still here. Almost anything is possible. Edidin said there's nothing about the way New College is now that restricts academic freedom. Edidin, enrolled as a student during the merger, has found that 15 years later the USF merger really has made no qualitative difference in New College education. There are a few more forms to fill out, but that is a "small price to pay for the continuance of New College ... Edidin feels fortunate about being back at New Col lege. "The opportunity was a sort of dream .. .l really feel fortunate that the opening appeared when it did and people thought well of me to put me into it." Drew Howlett '84 is a New CoOef!! admissions counselor.
