On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY December 30, 1985 PBS commentator to speak at King convocation Tony Brown, nationally syndicated columnist and commentator for his own PBS television show, "Tony Brown's Journal," will be the keynote speaker for the Martin Luther King Memorial Convocation at UCSC Tuesday, January 14. The event, which will be held at 4 p.m. in the Performing Arts Theater, is open to the public without charge. The option is given to UCSC instructors to suspend their classes at that time in order to allow students to also attend. Brown is the founding dean of Howard University's School of Communication. He has been selected as one of the "Top 50 National Black Newsmakers" by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, as well as one of the " 100 Most Influential Black Americans" by Ebony magazine. The annual Martin Luther King Convocation honors the memory of the late civil rights leader with speakers, music, and a keynote address by a prominent black [Photograph] Tony Brown figure. Music this year will be presented by the Castleers, a student group from Castlemont High School in Oakland. In conjunction with the convocation, a documentary exhibition of photographs, slides, portraits, and documents relating to the life and work of Dr. King will be held in the Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery at Cowell College from January 14 to February 23. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day but Monday. Exercises guide new students through library To help them make full and effective use of the University Library's vast resources and its up-to-date technology, research librarian Alan Ritch has created a unique series of hands-on exercises aimed at students new to the campus. As coordinator of library instruction, Ritch has custom- designed 75-minute introductory sessions, keyed to the core courses given freshmen and other incoming lower division students in each of UCSC's eight colleges. "The sessions are intended to be enjoyable," says Ritch. "So, as I write the exercises, I try to find questions that will entertain the skeptical, reassure the intimidated, and satisfy the adventurous, while teaching everyone a bit more than they knew and more than they expected to know about using an academic library." Most colleges schedule the library sessions during one of the core course discussion section meetings to make sure students attend them and to keep the groups small. "Learning to use an academic library is essential to academic success; it lays the foundation for future research," says Gayle Gonzales, academic preceptor and a core course section leader at Merrill College. Joe Allen named Admissions head Joe Allen will succeed Richard Moll as head of admissions at UCSC, effective January 1. Promoted to director of admissions last July, Allen will retain that title when he takes up the reins of his new job. Moll recently announced his resignation as UCSC's dean of admissions, a post he has held since 1980. He will join the New York law firm of Lord, Day, and Lord to recruit staff at law schools throughout the country. In his new position, Allen will be responsible for UCSC's admissions publications, recruitment and processing programs. He will direct a full-time staff of 12 outreach and 22 processing personnel. "Implementing UC's new admissions policy for next fall's incoming class is the most immediate challenge facing us now," says Allen. Formerly, new students applied directly to the UC campus of their first choice, he explains. If that campus could not accommodate them, their applications were redirected to whichever of UC's eight general campuses still had openings. The step-by-step procedure resulted in several months' delay in notifying re-directed students of their acceptance. In the interim, many highly qualified re-directs accepted offers of admission from other colleges and universities. Under the new system, students can apply to as many of UC's eight general campuses as they choose by filing just one application. Applications are processed by the Educational Testing Service in Albany, which sends copies to each of the campuses selected by the student. The initial filing fee of $35 covers applications to two UC campuses. A fee of $20 is charged for each additional campus. "We are without any history for determining how many students we will have to admit to come out with our full complement in the fall," says Allen.
