Nursing I eda McKenry Teacher, student, nurse, business woman, feminist, wife, mother, and human being, Leda Mae S. McKenry is a remarkable member of the University of Miami family. An associate professor of nursing, Leda teaches courses ranging from introductory classes up through applied nursing classes. There are two related areas within the field of nursing in which Leda is especially interested. One is anthropology and the other is health administration. She would like to be in a position to make some changes in our health care system, to offer the best health care to health care consumers but without destroying their cultural base, without trying to change them. This is a brief and simple description of Trans-Cultural Nursing. Leda has plans to offer a course of Trans-Cultural nursing with another faculty member. It would combine the perspectives of anthology and business with those of nursing. While she teaches in the School of Nursing, Leda is enrolled as a student in the School ot Business. She is working of her Master of Business Administration degree and looks forward to receiving her doctorate eventually. Leda would like to see more women in decision making roles in the health care system. She supports the right of all to work to their potential, and respects the decision of women who do not wish to pursue an active career. Leda received her bachelors degree at the University at the University of Miami. She then traveled to New Orleans, and after that California where she earned her masters degree at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center. It was while she was here that she discovered her interest in anthropology, and she did post graduate work in that field at Berkeley. Leda has taught at Miami-Dade Community College and at various hospitals around the country. She hopes to get into health administration sometime in the future. In working with the community, Leda has her students two days a week at Mercy Hospital. She is also on the Board of Directors of the Coconut Grove Family Health Clinic, a multi-cultural facility, and is on the Advisory Board of the South Dade Home Health Service. In addition to all this, she is a management consultant for a New Orleans firm. In her precious free time, Leda enjoys weaving, fiber crafts, cooking and camping. Her husband. Dr. Karl McKenry, is the chairman of the management department at the University. They are the proud parents of six children. Although she has a busy schedule, Leda Mae S. McKenry always finds time to help people less fortunate than herself She is certainly a credit to the nursing profession and all it stands for. Frank G. Meaner Accounting Estella R.

.— - »r WVU Milton Fisher WVUM attracted Milton Fisher to Miami and now he ' s attracting Miami to WVUM. One of the main reasons Milton decided to attend the UM was the fact that it had its own radio station. Since he has been General Manager of the station, both the work force and programming hours have more than doubled. He took charge of a 30 person team that broadcast 12 hours a day, six days a week, and has expanded to 75 people who keep WVUM on the air at all times. His success is not just beginner ' s luck. It stems from the vast experience he ' s gained in working a variety of jobs. His credits at WVUM include working on sports, news, traffic director, continuity director, news and public affairs director, and as a disc jockey prior to his job as station manager. He also found time to intern in the newsrooms of Channel 4 and WGBS. A senior Communications major and a self proclaimed sports freak, Milton feels his job has given him more than just practical experience; it has taught him how to tolerate differing opinions and how to deal with beauracracy and its everpresent red tape. Exerting so much time and effort on his job has left him litde time to himself but has strengthened WVUM immensely. All of his experience, at WVUM and outside of it, has given Milton the expertise needed to excel as General Manager and he should easily be able to fulfill his future plans of working in radio.
