Sheldon Abend was an executive producer who also served as an estate representative for such literary luminaries as George Bernard Shaw and Tennessee Williams. He made a name for himself by winning an intense copyright battle with MCA. A New York native who later fought in the ring and worked as a tugboat coal-stoker, Abend went to work for the American Play Company in 1957 with little education and an over-abundance of initiative. He rose through the ranks to own the organization in three short years, and after establishing the Author's Research Company, served as a literary consultant and rights negotiator for David O. Selznick, among many others. Gaining notoriety for taking on MCA, Alfred Hitchcock, and Jimmy Stewart in 1983 to establish what has come to be known as the \"Abend Rule,\" the tenacious negotiator went to the Supreme Court to clarify copyright law for instances in which the author dies during the copyright's term.

The Office of the President also kept alphabetical files on numerous matters in which the president was involved that related to the University and organizations with which he was involved outside the University.

It shows the president's work with both the State University System and federal entities in dealing with the university's operations and budgetary concerns. Most of these records were created by or for the Chancellor, Board of Regents and Council of Presidents. This series includes information about the dissolution of the Board of Regents.","Series II: Academic Affairs, 1973-2004 holds records concerning the academic life of the University. This series includes documents about individual colleges, centers and institutes, branch campuses, faculty, research, Undergraduate Studies, the library, WUCF, programs and Founders' Day. Documents written in Russian are included in the file concerning the Florida/USSR International Linkage Institute and the Chinese language documents are in the International Programs file.

This series includes information about housing and how it was financed, food service, the building of the Student Union and the International Student Center. It also holds materials on Student Government, greek life and other student associations.","Series IV: University Relations, 1969-2003 holds materials concerning the university's relationships with outside individuals and companies. Many of the materials in this series relate to the Foundation that raises money for the University. The Foundation's files mostly consist of Board Meeting minutes, budgetary concerns, scholarship fund-raisers and the building of the President's House. The University Club files document the public discussion that followed when the Foundation decided to accept scholarship funds from the club, which did not admit women or minorities as members. Other materials document alternative sources of funding and ways of marketing the university including relationships with alumni, community members and leaders, and with the State University System that governed UCF during this period.","Series V: Administration and Finance, 1968-2000 contains a small amount of material that shows the variety of subjects monitored by this division.

One large group of files documents intercollegiate athletics. Personal files show UCF presidents' commitment to community involvement as well as the advancement of Orlando as a whole. Within the correspondence files are form letters written to the entire University, letters of complaint, praise, invitation or thanks, occasional photographs, requests to serve on committees, correspondence with officials of the government and the State University System, agreements with partners, and information concerning local organizations and businesses. All types of correspondence were sampled to form a representative selection of the types of correspondence written and received by the president.
