dent for student affairs aogl.current assist-
ant to the president, has confirmed that she'
will leave the University soon after July L
Newell will become an economics profes-
sor at the University of Pittsburgh. She told
The Daily she is leaving because she sees
"real opportunities at Pittsburgh."
In her new post, Newell explained, she
will concentrate on graduate studies and
research. A source at the University of
Pittsburgh said Newell will work with the
provost's office on graduate programs in
addition to her economics teaching.
University of Pittsburgh Provost Charles
Peake said last night that "Pittsburgh is
happy to have" Newell, but he declined to
comment further because he will have left
his post by the time Newell assumes hers.

President Robben Fleming commented
last night that he was "sorry to see her go",
but that the new position would give Newell
a chance to perform a major academic
function
"She's a very competent woman," he
said, "who's made a great contribution to
this University and to others."
Newell came to the University in 1961,
with Fleming, from the University of Wis-
consin.,
In addition to her administrative func-
tions, Newell chairs the University's Cos-
mission on Women-established as part -of,
the University's program for fighting sex
discrimination in employment.
As acting vice-president for student af-
fairs, Newell was one of the few women to
hold an important administrative position
