The theme of Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt’s press conference on Sunday was that the Hurricanes need “to be nationally relevant.” Hocutt is confident that the identity of the football program can Tchange rapidly. “There are brighter days ahead and the U will be back where it belongs at the pinnacle of the college football world,” Hocutt said. Randy Shannon shined as a terrific linebacker, a great defensive coordinator and an outstanding recruiter, but after four years as head coach, Hocutt felt a new leader was needed. “[The USF] outcome did not determine this decision,” Hocutt said. “It was not made on 60 minutes. It was made with the total body of work in mind.” Shannon’s well-known relaxed demeanor proved ineffective at maximizing the talent of his players. His 16-16 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference accurately reflected his mediocre performance. With the hiring of a new football coach, Hocutt and UM President Donna E. Shalala know they need an eye popper, a wow-factor, someone who exudes confidence, exhibits passion and oozes swagger.

    ^ < The Miami Hurricane VOL. XXXI UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, CORAL GABLES, FLA., NOVEMBER 18, 1955 No. 7 Tuition Increased To $325 • • • • • • • • • 2-Day Freshman Elections Open Monday Story On Page 2 $50 Hike Per Semester Effective Next Fall, Faculty Gets Pay Raise University of Miami's Board of Trustees has announced a tuition increase of $50 a semester, effective next September. This will apply only to full time students. A large portion of the increase in tuition will be applied to raising faculty salaries in order to maintain highest teaching standards, according to Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, UM President. "One of the chief problems facing American institutions of higher learning since the war," Dr. Pearson said, "has been that of paying adequate faculty salaries during a period when the purchasing power of the dollar has been cut in half. "Our tuition never has been adequate to cover the cost of educating our young people. The difference has been made up by public-spirited citizens, alumni and corporations, but of course, there is a limit to what they can do. The University of Miami is non-tax supported and derives its income solely from tuition and gifts." A letter sent by Dr. Pearson to each parent of a University student points out the lag between University tuition raises and those already made in other institutions. In comparison with next year's $650, annual tuition for UM full time day students, Brown University has presently effect­ ive a tuition of $950, Cornell, $1,000, and Dartmouth, $980. The University's tuition rate next year, the letter stated.
