An Array of Stars Joins College
Park Faculty This Fall

Two new deans, several new
department heads, and a number
of members of the National Acade-
my of Sciences are among the stel-
lar group of tenure-track faculty
who are newcomers to the academ-
ic community this fall.

Richard Herman, the new dean
of the College of Computer, Mathe-
matical and Physical Sciences, is a
distinguished mathematician who
comes from Penn State University
where he was known for the high
quality of his appointments as de-
partment chair. Steven Hurtt, the
new dean of the School of Architec-
ture, has arrived from Indiana
where he was on the faculty of No-
tre Dame University from 1973 to
1990.

The two deans are among a dis-
tinguished group of new faculty
that includes such scientists as in-
ternationally renowned Soviet
physicist Roald Sagdeev, consid-
ered one of the premier theoretical
plasma physicists in the world;
mathematician Mikhael Gromov,
an eminent geometer who is one of
the few people in the wor5d to be
elected to membership in the Acad-
emy of Sciences of the USSR,
France and the USA; and Harvard
economist Thomas Schelling, mem-
ber of the National Academy of
Sciences and current president of
the American Economic Associa-
tion. These are just three examples
of the high calibre of scientists,
economists, engineers, educators,
arts and humanities professors and

behavioral and social scientists who
are new to the classrooms and re-
search labs of College Park this fall.

The total number of new tenure-
track faculty comes to 79, with a
few appointed last spring. This in-
cludes: 19 full professors (including
three women); 18 associate profes-
sors (including five women); and
42 assistant professors (13 women).

"We've attracted an exceptional
number of peopte who are at the
very highest level of academic dis-
tinction. We've also hired a group
of younger faculty who have great
academic promise," says academic
vice president Bob Dorfman.

The provost attributes the uni-
versity's success at recruiting this
year to several factors: the high
quality of the faculty already at the
university and the fact that many
have become personally involved
in recruiting promising newcomers;
department chairs who are work-
ing aggressively to find and hire
the most highly respected faculty
in their fields; and the assumption
of Brit Kirwan to the presidency
and the quality of his academic
leadership.

The faculty's growing sense of
self-esteem and the conviction that
this is an institution on the way up
also helps, says Dorfman.

Money and facilities are also im-
portant, of course. But despite the
fact that the university did not re-

ceive hoped-for major increases in

state funding this fiscal year as it
had for the past two years, depart-
ments managed to create the in-
novative packages that would help
support the research needs of pro-
fessors they hoped to recruit. DRIF
funding and money dedicated to
hiring more minority and female
faculty also helped, says Dorfman.

Switch Flipped on New
Telecommunications System

Jon Rood,
Communication
Services Director

August 31 marked the comple-
tion of a new telecommunications
system for the university, the de-
parture of an old friend — -the 454
telephone prefix — and the begin-
ning of what is expected to be a
vastly superior way by which
members of the campus commun-
ity communicate.

This Thursday, September 6, the
new system will be officially in-
augurated with an 11 a.m. ribbon-
cutting ceremony on the Lee Build-
ing lawn. Guests include AT&T
chair and chief executive officer
Robert E. Allen, who will tour the
new telecommunications building
with President William E, Kirwan
and Vice President Charles Sturtz.
Allen also will meet with engineer-
ing, business and computer science
students.

Some 700 guests include more
than 50 AT&T employees who
worked full-time during the past
year installing the new system and
the some 200 departmental tele-
communication representatives
who served as the backbone net-
work between the system's contrac-
tor, AT&T, and the campus users.
Other guests include telecom-
munications coordinators, staff
from engineering and architectural
services, the computer science cen-
ter and administrative computer
center, the purchasing department
and others who worked together
on the $32.4 million project.
• Jon Rood, director of communi-
cation services, notes that the de-
partment has now become the uni-

versity's own telephone company.
"Since we own the system, we will
no longer have to call on C&P or
AT&T," he says. "We've geared up
the department to provide installa-
tion, construction, electrical engi-
neering, order processing, staff for
the help desk, repairs, all new
functions that didn't exist a year
ago. We are a totally self-contained
system."

Considered by AT&T to be its
showcase installation, the Maryland
telecommunications system is com-
prehensive and includes more than
17,000 state-of-the-art telephones,
numerous features and the replace-
ment of all wiring infrastructure
with extensive use of fiber optic
cable for future high speed data
communications. Rood says.

Visitors from around the coun-
try and from Norway, England,
Australia, Japan and the Middle
East already have toured the new
facilities. In fact, Rood says, there is
a waiting list of requests for tours
of the system, mostly by represen-
tatives of government agencies and
large businesses and institutions.

The year-long project remained
totally on schedule from the start
and totally on budget. Rood notes.
The department of communication
service staff was heavily involved
in every detail.

"People have really worked long
days and most weekends to serve
the project, to supervise and moni-
tor each phase to catch things that
went wrong early and get them
fixed right away," he says. "Our

theme was that this was a joint
project. We were on the scene. The
department telecommunications
representatives (DTRs) completed
the loop by working with AT&T to
insure that departments and offices
got what they needed. Each DTR
spent scores of hours in special
training sessions that we began call-
ing 'Telecommunications 101.'
They were really essential to pro-
ject's success. They had to know
the system and how it works to be
able to match campus needs with
the system's capabilities."

Rood says the new system has
been designed to accommodate the
university's future telecommunica-
tions needs for the next 10 to 15
years.

In January, he says, his depart-
ment will open a new, full service
center offering fax, telephone or-
dering, copy, telex and a variety of
other communication ser\'ices.

A limited number of interim
campus directories that contain a
partial list of new telephone num-
bers is available from the Office of
Institutional Advancement, 405-
4615. Users can also call 405-1000,
the university's information num-
ber, to find a new number.

Summer Readership Survey Leads to Changes in Outlook

Early in the summer, approxim-
ately 9,000 questionnaires were sent
to Oitflook readers for an evaluation
of readers' attitudes concerning the
faculty /staff newspaper. We want
to thank the over 1,000 loyal, opin-
ionated and frank folks who re-
sponded to the survey and to let all
of our readers know we've planned
a new look for Outlook to respond
to what we have learned about
your reading habits and interests.

Right away, you'll notice Outlook
has lost some weight in terms of
the number of articles presented
and amount of space for copy.
Since more than half the survey
respondents said they spent 5-15
minutes reading selected articles
each week, we hope the new de-
sign wilt help you find the infor-
mation you want quickly and easi-
ly. Also, there's more room for
photos and artwork as part of our
plan to try even harder to show
you what's going on.

While the overall design creates
more white space, we're actually

increasing the number of news
pages from two to three. We did
this in response to most readers'
reply that they enjoyed reading the
news section, particularly stories
about administrative actions. As a
consequence, we'll try to publish
more stories about such issues as
parking fees, campus construction,
implementation of the enhance-
ment plan, the budget process, and
actions of the Campus Senate. We
hope you will continue to suggest
issues of importance that you
would like examined.

There still will be a weekly close
up page about faculty or staff, a
re.search page, an arts page and an
F.Y.I, page for short news items,
updates, opinions and letters to the
editor, since many readers indi-
cated they read these pages fre-
quently or always. Keep on send-
ing us your news. Outlook also will
present a calendar, but it's been
moved from page four to eight,
which we hope will help make it
more convenient to find out what's

going on at the university.

Eighty-five percent of the re-
spondents said Outlook was either a
good or excellent publication. Some
felt it could use some improvement
in such areas as timeliness, copy
editing, or subject matter — one
reader told us Outlook is to the ad-
ministration what Pmvda is to the
Kremlin, Ouch!

Overall, however, the comments
were very positive and very help-
ful, and we especially appreciated
all the good ideas for future stories.
We want to thank all of you who
took the time to fill out and return
the surveys. We're trying to adopt
as many of your suggestions as
possible, and we hope you like
what we've done as a result. If not,
please let us know.

Finally, keep the comments, sug-
gestions — and helpful criticism —
coming!

CLOSE UP

New Public Affairs Program at EPA

This fall some 25 Environmental Protection Agency professionals
wili be enrolled in courses leading to a Master in Public Policy
degree at the agency's Washington, D.C. headquarters. The new
program at EPA was set up by Peter G. Brown, head of the School
of Public Affairs' emphasis in Environmental Policy which was
launched last fall at College Park. In addition to Brown, faculty
members Susan Hedman, Frank Levy and Peyton Young are
scheduled to teach courses at EPA headquarters during the first
year of the program. Brown says the Maryland Environmental
Policy program is unique because of its blend of science and public
policy and its close connection with the federal government.

McKeldin and Hornbake Mall Projects
Nearing Completion

Despite the mud and dirt, the up-
rooted grass and dismantled
sidewalks on the McKeldin and
Hornbake malls both spaces should
look better than ever by Thanks-
giving, says Dennis Nola, assistant
phvsical plant director.

Nearly $1.9 miliion in renovation
began on the two spaces shortly
after commencement last spring
and has continued throughout the
summer. Renovations of the nine-
acre McKeklin Mall renovations are
furtherest along with all heavy con-
struction finished and the entire
project scheduled for completion
by late October, Nola says.

When the project is completed,
the mail will feature new sod, a
new lighting system, rerouted side-
walks, new plantings of trees along
its upper half, a fountain of cascad-
ing water along its lower half and
an enlarged seating area around
the sun dial at its center. The work
is funded with $595,000 in univer-
sity funds and about $60,000 in stu-
dent contributions.

Omicron Delta Kappa, an honor
society, has donated $50,000 to cov-
er part of the cost of the
$175,000 fountain. The senior class
of 1990 is donating S10,000-$l 5,000
for work on the sundial area which
will be renamed the "Senior
Forum."

The current work, along with less
extensive improvements in three
previous summers, was designed
to correct problems and enhance
the space aesethicaliy. Inadequate
lighting, poor drainage, poorly
routed sidewalks and a lack of
gathering spaces detracted from the
space, Nola says.

The lower half of the mall has
been reconstructed to accommodate
large campus gatherings. Previous-
ly, a new drainage system was in-
stalled to prevent waterlogging and

Hornbake Mall will
have new seating and
greenery to make it
more welcoming to
students and faculty.

a staging area was installed near
the Main Administration Building.
With its new decorative features —
the 1 6- foot-by -2 50- foot water foun-
tain and the expanded sundial
area — the space will be ready for
large campus events.

Commencement planners hope to
use the area for the Spring 1991
graduation exercises, Nola says.

On the upper end of the mall,
crab apple and oak trees were re-
moved and will be replaced. The
area will be replanted primarily
with willow oaks to create an alley
of tall trees similar to that on the
lower end of the mall. New flower-
ing trees — a combination of cherry
trees, non-fruiting crab apples and
dogwoods — also will be included
in the arrangement.

The upper part of the mail will
remain an essentially open area,
available for all kinds of activity
from studying to Frisbee games.

On both ends of the mall,
sidewalks have been rerouted to
create a better flow of traffic. Light-
posts will be removed from the
mall's open areas with new lights
set among the trees and shined on-
to it.

Between the start of classes and
the end of October, workers will
complete the last parts of the proj-
ect — sodding the mall, planting
trees and installing lighting, Nola
says. Sodding and planting must
wait until at least mid-September
when the weather should be cool
enough to ensure proper growth.

On Hornbake Mall, a complete
resurfacing of the space is in
progress.

The previous pavement was
breaking up, creating maintenance
and safety problems in the area. A
new, sturdier covering is being set
in its place, Nola says.

Hornbake Mall previously offered
virtually no seating. In an effort to
make Hornbake Mail a place that
people use as well as walk
through, some 30 wooden tables
and more than two dozen benches
will be added.

Also, the amount of greenry
there will be more than doubled,
creating a more pleasant ambience,
Nola says.

The project will not be complet-
ed until mid-November. One of the
major stumbling blocks early in the
project was the need to replace the
roof of Hornbake Library's 24-hour
Study Room, located beneath the
mall.

By the beginning of classes, how-
ever, work adjacent to Campus Dr-
ive should be completed, reopening
the sidewalk there. For
both projects, the design work was
performed by members of Nola's
staff.

"I'm extremely proud of my
staff. This is definitely the most
work we've had going at one time,"
Nola says.

Construction Season Continues at College Park

Every season has been con-
struction season in recent years at
College Park. This fall more than
$70 million in continuing or new
construction projects will be in
progress.

Here is a rundown of this fall's
construction projects:

• Construction continues on the
$18 million College of Business and
Management and School of Public
Affairs Building in what was form-
erly part of Lot 1 near the Architec-
ture Building. The 130,000 square-
foot building will house the Col-
lege of Business and Management
and the School of Public Affairs.

• Three buildings — two "surge"
buildings and an administrative
support building — are being con-
structed as part of a single $13.5
million contract. The surge build-
ings — one located near the St>uth
Campus Dining Center and the

other in Lot 11— will provide tem-
porary homes for departments dis-
placed by building renovations.
The administrative support build-
ing, located on Paint Branch Drive
beyond the North Intramural
Fields, will house personnel, archi-
tectural and engineering services
and procurement. The three build-
ings are scheduled for completion
in March 1991.

Young American Wins Internationai Piano Competition

On July 21, a standing-room-only audience at the Kennedy
Center was treated to the prize-winning performance of Rach-
maninov's second piano concerto by this year's University of
Maryland International Piano Competition winner, Christopher
Taylor, 20, of Boulder, Colorado. An undergraduate math major at
Harvard University, Taylor will play a recital on Nov. 17 in Alice
Tully Hall, Lincoln Center as part of the prestigious music award.
Two young Soviet artists were runners up in the rigorous competi-
tion: Ilia Iten, 23, of Moscow came in second; Oleg Valkov, 32, also
of Moscow was third.

Gallery Exhibit Features Contemporary Political Art

In a region that is the home of
American politics, art gallery walls
arc almost bare of contemporary
political art, says Wendy Owens,
director of the university Art Gal-
lery.

Whether a product of artistic
preference, the nature of local ex-
hibition space, a chilling effect from
the National Endowment for the
Arts controversy, or a combination
of all of the above, there has been a
decidedly apolitical quality to
much of the work on display in
area galleries in recent years, she
says.

The Art Gallery will buck that
trend with "Trouble in Paradise,"
an exhibition of thoroughly politi-
cal new art Sept. 12-Oct. 26, the in-
augural show of 1990-91 season.

"Trouble in Paradise" features
the work of 14 New England artists
or art teams who address topical
political and social issues such as
censorship, reproductive rights, AI-
DS, racism, sexism, substance a-
buse, domestic violence, homeless-
ness, hazardous waste and the
American flag.

The artists use both satirical and
emotionally gripping techniques to
present their messages.

On the light side. Jay Critchley
confronts Ali^S by associating safe
sex and patriotism in his multi-
media mock advertising campaign
for Old Glory Condoms. In a dark-
er vein, Nancv Jenner refashions
the images of women in Renais-

sance paintings into victims of sex-
ual violence.

"Being a university gallery, we're
in a better position to present this
kind of show than other galleries
are," says Owens, "In this show the
artists present what may be unpop-
ular ideas — people looking for pret-
ty art probably won't be satisfied.
But a show like this, that features
emerging artists, gives the artists
on this campus an opportunity to
see what people are doing
elsewhere."

The exhibition was originally
shown at the List Visual Art Center
at MIT in the fall of 1989. Im-
pressed by the works, Owens re-
constructed the show for the Art
Gallery with the help of a grant
from The Andy Warhol Foundation
for the Visual Arts.

The exhibit's opening will fea-
ture a lecture by its original cura-
tor, Dana Friis-Hansen of MIT, at
4:30 p.m. Sept, 12 in the gallery. A
reception, where many of the exhi-
biting artists will be present, will
follow. Both the iecUire and recep-
tion are free and open to the pub-
lic.

The Art Gallery is located in the
Art/Sociology building. Hours are
Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m;
Wednesday evenings until 9 p.m.;
and Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. For more information call

Frederiksen Uncovers Unknown
Heine Manuscript

Despite learned assurances that
Rahel Varnhagen's papers con-
tained nothing of interest and that
any worthwhile documents would
be in her husband's material, Elke
Frederiksen looked anyway.

And in examining these over-
looked documents, Fredericksen
found something much better than
anything in Herr Varnhagen's
papers. The associate professor of
German found something so good
it serves as the primary source for
her forthcoming cover article in a
major German academic journal. In
her search through Varnhagen's
papers, Frederiksen unearthed the
manuscript of a previously un-
known poem by 1 9th century Ger-
man writer Hoinrich Heine. The
poem had been written at Varnhag-
en's request for use as a discussion
piece in the famous salon she host-
ed in Berlin in the 1820s.

Frederiksen's 60-page article on
the discovery will be featured this
fall in the 1990 Heine Yearbook.

Frederiksen made the discovery
at the Jagell Ionian Library in
Cracow, Poland, where she was
researching Heine's role in Varnha-
gen's salon. There was reason to
believe that Heine had actively par-
ticipated during his student years,
and Frederiksen hoped to docu-
ment this connection.

Frederiksen did not expect to

make a finding as important as the
manuscript,

"Most of the documents in Varn-
hagen's collection are written in
her hand," Frederiksen says,

"When 1 came across the manu-
script, 1 realized immediately that it
had been written by someone else.
Yet the handwriting still seemed
familiar. In my work on Heine I
had seen many of his manuscripts
and it soon dawned that it was his
writing. I almost could not believe
it."

The poem was written in 1823
and concerns the plight of a fam-
ous Berlin actress, Madame Stich,
who had fallen from public favor
after a martial scandal. Vernhagen
asked Heine and her brother, Wolf-
gang Robert, to write poems de-
fending Stich for discussion in the
salon.

The work was written during a
time when Heine was experiment-
ing with several different literary
forms, including the dramatic verse
in which the poem is written.

"This discovery is one example
of why the study of past women
writers is important. I am sure th-
ere are more treasures hidden aw-
ay in the papers of overlooked fig-
ures," Frederiksen says.

HOMELESS CHILDREN:

Study Examines Problems of Baltimore Preschoolers

Martha Taylor (on
couch) and Sally
Koblinsky talk with
preschooler.

coucgc

Homeless preschool children in
Baltimore exhibit significantly
more behavioral problems than
populations of "normal" and "em-
otionally disturbed" children, ac-
cording to a recently completed
study by College Park faculty
members in the College of Human
Ecology. The children in this
study also consumed diets that
were less healthy than those of
children in normal home situations.

The year-long study, designed
to examine the physical health, nu-
tritional status, developmental
skills, and social-emotional behav-
iors of homeless preschool child-
ren, was conducted by Sally A.
Koblinsky, professor of family de-
velopment, and Martha L. Taylor,
assistant professor of human nutri-
tion. The research was funded by a
College of Human Ecology Dean's
Research Award and a Bio- Medical
Research Support Grant.

The study involved 73 single-
parent homeless families in Balti-
more, each with a child between
the ages of three and five. About 90
percent of the families were black
and in percent were white. At the
time of the study, 35 families were
residing in emergency shelters {fac-
ilities providing shelter for one
night to one month) and 38 fami-
lies were living in transitional
housing (shelter for up to one
year). The children and their
mothers had been homeless for an
average of 9.5 months, with a
range of from one to 52 months.

According to Koblinsky and
Taylor, only 29 percent of the
homeless boys and 41 percent of

{ Ntf,5/, \\4p«D a U'^mG

the homeless girls exhibited devel-
opmental skills characteristic of their
age group. The researchers used
an inventory to evaluate the child-
rens' language and cognition, gross
motor/body awareness, and visual-
motor adaptive skills.
Overall, 35 percent of the children
passed the inventory, 47 percent
failed, and 17 percent earned
scores indicating a need for re-
scrcening. Only one child was
screened in each family — usually
the oldest child under six.

"Homeless children were especi-
ally likely to exhibit problems in
the areas of sleep, shyness, atten-
tion span, withdrawal, demanding
behavior, coordination, and ag-
gression," Koblinsky says. The
findings also showed that pre-
schoolers in emergency shelters
had significantly more toilet train-
ing and sleep problems than child-
ren in transitional housing.

According to Taylor, about ten
percent of the children were under-
weight for their age and 11 percent
exceeded the 90th percentile for
weight-for-height.

"At the emergency shelters,
dairy products and fresh fruits and
vegetables were consumed less fre-
quentlv than at transitional shelters
where mothers were responsible
for meal preparation," Taylor says.
"There was no blatant malnutrition,
however."

Taylor and Koblinsky conducted
their study through two-hour inter-
views with the child rens'
parents. "We asked about the par-
ents' background and child-
rearing behavior, the reasons for

their homelessness, and about the
child's health history and behavi-
or," Koblinsky says.

The children were also given
developmental skills tests, and
their height, weight and fat-fold
were recorded. Koblinsky and
Taylor then compared their data
with that of preschool children not
living in shelters.

"Results indicate that the physi-
cal and psychological conditions
under which homeless children
live, place them at increased risk
for developmental delays and be-
havioral disturbances," Koblinsky
and Taylor write. The researchers
say that without immediate educa-
tional and parenting interventions,
a significant proportion of young
homeless children will experience
difficulties upon entering school
and may begin a cycle of life-long
learning problems.

"Our results suggest that home-
less preschool children need more
than permanent housing — they
need comprehensive educational
and social services to improve
their chances for optimal physical,
cognitive, and social-emotional de-
velopment," the researchers say.

Koblinsky and Taylor are pres-
enting their results at the annual
meetings of the Federation of Am-
erican Societies for Experimental
Biologv, the National Council on
Family Relations, and the National
Association for the Education of
Young Children.

University Hosts International Science Congress

The Fourth international
Congress of Systematic and Evolu-
tionary Biology, "The Unity of
Evolutionary Biology," was held
June 30 to July 7 at the university.

The congress, which was
co-hosted by the Smithsonian Insti-
tution, featured a number of major
symposia aimed at illuminating
some of the newest areas of evolu-
tionary biology, as well as provid-
ing a synthesis of historical and
mechanistic approaches to evolu-
tion in animals, plants and micro-
organisms.

The symposia focused on three
major areas, evolution in perspec-

tive, which included such topics as
biodiversity, conservation, biotech-
nology and global
change; tempo and pattern evoluti-
on; and systematics and phylogene-
tic reconstruction,

"The goal of the congress was to
foster a resynthesis of the
theory of evolution, incorporating
new and traditional approaches,"
says Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudia, pro-
gram chair and associate professor
in the Department of Zoology,

A number of university re-
searchers presented talks at the
conference, including Eugenie
Clark, professor of zoology; Rita R.

Colwell, director ot the Maryland
Biotechnology Institute, professor
of microbiology and a council
member of the International Con-
gress; James L. Reveal, a professor
of botany and co-president of the
international congress; Gerald
Borgia, associate professor of zool-
ogy; Charles B. Fenster, assistant
professor of botany; Lin Chao, as-
sistant professor of zoology; and
Charles Mitter, associate professor
of entomology.
