Goldhaber, a Brooklyn native,
came to the university in 1961 as a
Research Associate Professor of
Mathematics. In 1962, he became a
professor of mathematics, an
appointment he continues to hold.

From 1968 to 1977, Goldhaber
served as chair of the Department
of Mathematics. During his tenure,
the department developed into one
of the nation's most highly regard-
ed programs, ranking in the top ten
among public research universities
in the most recent rankings by the
National Academy of Sciences.

Twice, Goldhaber has served as
Acting Dean of Graduate Research
and Studies. He first held the post
from 1984 to 1985 and assumed the
position again in 1987 and is hold-
ing the post while a search is con-
ducted for a permanent dean.

As acting dean, Goldhaber has
distinguished himself by fostering
a positive research environment
and working to bring many distin-
guished scholars to the university.
Among his innovations is creation
of the Graduate School's Distin-
guished Lecture Series.

SAT Scores Are Up: University
Enrolls Brightest Class Ever

With a mean Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) score of 1087, this year's
freshman class is the most acade-
mically talented group ever admit-
ted to the state's flagship campus,
the University of Maryland at Col-
lege Park, The SAT averages for
the 3,241 new first-year students
represent a three-point gain over
last vear's freshman class, while
their mean grade point average
(GPA) at 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, remains
unchanged from last year.

Among the new group of fresh-
men are 101 students admitted as
part of a program for economically
disadvantaged students paid for by
state and federal funds. SATs for
this group carry less weight than
demonstrated motivation and aca-
demic achievement in high schools,
according to admissions director
Linda Clement. Last year, 78 disad-
vantaged students were admitted
under the same guidelines, says
Clement.

The mean freshman SAT score
of all regularly admitted students
is 1097, she says.

The new class totals 147 fewer
students than the 1989 freshman
class. Its minority enrollment is
consistent with last year's figures
at 15.0 percent African- American,
12.8 percent Asian, and 4.8
percent Hispanic and others.

The number of National Merit
Scholars choosing to attend
College Park is greater than the
number attending any other
public university in the state, with
the total rising from 21 in 1989 to
34 this year. National Merit
Scholars generally score among
the top one or two percent on the
SAT nationally and are among the
highest-achieving high school
graduates in the country.

As part of College Park's plan
to reduce undergraduate

"Jack Goldhaber is a superb
choice for tbis honor," says Presi-
dent William E. Kirwan. "For many
years, he has worked tirelessly to
make this a great university. He's
done this with a great sense of con-
cern and passion for the people
with whom he's worked. It is hard
to capture in just a few words what
he has meant to the university."

Among Goldhaber's significant
accomplishments, Kirwan cites
Goldhaber's contribution toward
building of the mathematics de-
partment into a highly ranked pro-
gram, his skillful managment of
graduate research funds, recruit-
ment of outstanding new faculty
members, and creation of the Dis-
tinguished Lecture Series.

"On a personal level, he has
been mentor to me," says Kirwan,
who was a faculty member in
mathematics during Goldhaber's
tenure as department chair. "He is
a close friend, advisor and confi-
dant."

Goldhaber will become the sev-
enth person to receive the award,
originally known as the Chan-
cellor's Medal. Former Chancellor
John B. Slaughter created the
award in 1985 to honor those who
have performed outstanding ser-
vice to the university. Past winners
are Paul Traver, founder and direc-
tor of the UM Chorus; Donald
Maley, retired chair of the Depart-
ment of Industrial, Technological
and Occupational Education;
Richard Jacquith, retired Assistant
Vice Chancellor for Academic

Affairs; J. Robert Dorfman, Vice
President of Academic Affairs and
Provost; Thomas M. Ma goon,
retired director of the Counseling
Center; and Graciela Nemes, pro-
fessor emerita of Spanish and Port-
uguese languages and literatures.

The Associate Staff honorees in-
clude:

• Linda Clement, a university
employee for 16 years, who has
been the Director of Admissions
since 1982. She is being recognized
for her central role in improving
the quality of College Park's under-
graduate student body and in in-
creasing minority enrollment.

• Leonard Jankowski, a univer-
sity employee for 20 years, who
has been director of the Depart-
ment of Campus Parking since
1981. He is being recognized for his
effective management of the uni-
versity parking system as the loca-
tion of parking lots at the univer-
sity shift with the construction of
buildings on the sites of former
lots.

• Jerry Lewis, a university
employee for 18 years, has been
Director of the Intensive Educa-
tional Development Program, He is
being recognized for his efforts to
help students from low income and
low education backgrounds to per-
form successfully in college.

• Ronald Jones who has been
Director of Procurement and Sup-
ply since 1981. He is being recog-
nized for his innovative manage-
ment of the university's procure-
ment system and for conducting
seminars on procurement that help
departments order materials more

enrollment, the number of transfer
admissions is also down, with a
planned reduction from 3,051 a
year ago to 2,813 this fall.

At 6,054 freshmen and
transfers, this year's total new
undergraduate student enrollment
is within one percent of the target
set by the enrollment reduction
plan. Implementation of the plan
has resulted in smaller classes and
tougher admission standards, says
Clement.

One result of higher admission
standards is that the university
now gathers more information
about each applicant, she says. "So
many talented students are apply-
ing that a good GPA and strong
SATs no longer ensure automatic
acceptance," says Clement. "This
year, we're asking for a list of co-
curricular activities and accom-
plishments and giving applicants
the option of submitting a
personal essay," she says.

"In the future, we'll be able to
recognize more students who not
only earn good grades, but also
demonstrate independence, indi-
viduality and initiative, it means
more work for our admission
counselors, but better admission

decisions for our applicants and
for the university," she predicts.

Standards for transfer
admission also have increased
significantly as the university has
taken steps to limit undergraduate
enrollment, says Clement. "Five
years ago, any transfer applicant
with a 2.0 GPA would have been
accepted, "but that is hardly the
case today."

At the same time that the uni-
versity is raising its
undergraduate admission
standards, students admitted to
College Park are getting a good
education for their money.
According to a survey just
released in the fall 1990 issue of
Money magazine's "Money
Guide," the university remains a
good buy in terms of college cost,
with a tuition charge of just
$2,269 for in-state residents. The
survey identified the colleges and
universities that deliver the best
education for the costs, and
College Park ranked among the
top 100 best college buys in the
nation, according to the survey on
"America's Best College Buys."

Sagdeev: Extending the
International Language of Science

To Soviet physicist Roald
Sagdeev, the speaker at the
Faculty /Staff Convocation on
October 23, science is an interna-
tional language designed to bring
the world's nations together. He
believes that glnsnost, the Russian
word for openness, could be
extended in definition to include
openness for the entire world — in
cooperative exchanges of scientific
knowledge, resources and facilities.

Sagdeev has pushed for co-
operation between the scientific
communities of the Soviet Union
and the Western nations for more
than 30 years, lie established his
present ties to the University of
Maryland more than 20 years ago
when he first conducted plasma
research with College Park physics
professor and former department
chair, Chuan Sheng Liu.

Since then, Sagdeev has had sev-
eral exchanges with the university
that have led to his recent joint ap-
pointment as a distinguished pro-
fessor in the Department of Physics
and Astronomy and with the Insti-
tute for Physical Science and Tech-
nology.

"My short time here at Mary-
land has already been a great plea-
sure," he says. "The university is
becoming a central institution in
the United States for international
science and public affairs. We can
make these areas continue to
grow."

In addition to his appointment
as distinguished professor, Sagdeev
also will head the new East- West
Science and Technology Center,
which will work toward creating
scientific and technological linkages
between the United States, the
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
The center will operate on a
S100,000 budget during its first
year, says Sagdeev.

"The center we are creating will
be a clearinghouse designed to
bring people together to discuss

and liberate different ideas from all
parts of campus, with an inter-
national communitv in mind,"
Sagdeev says. "We hope to build a
bridge between our campus com-
munity, industry, and the east."

"Dr. Sagdeev is going to greatly
enhance our reputation as a lead-
ing physics department, and he
will increase our cooperative ties
with other Soviet physicists," says
Derek Boyd, chair of the physics
department

"There is a straightforward story
as to why I came across the ocean
to Maryland," says Sagdeev. "It is
partly because of my marriage to
Susan Eisenhower, and largely be-
cause of Maryland's close proxi-
mity to Washington, D.C., where
my wife is an international consul-
tant." It is also the proximity of
this university to Washington, D,C.
that makes Sagdeev believe the
university will gain the inter-
national reputation he believes it
deserves.

Sagdeev himself brings an inter-
national reputation to the univer-
sity. He is a world-renowned phys-
icist specializing in nonlinear space
plasmas. For ten years he was di-
rector of Moscow's Institute for
Space Research. In that position he
was a key science advisor to Soviet
President Mikhail Corbachov. Sag-
deev was a key member of the
Soviet Union's extraordinary space
program during its key years of
development in the 1950s and
1960s.

In the 1960s, Sagdeev led a
Soviet delegation to the Trieste
Center for Theoretical Physics,
which collaborated with an Ameri-
can team. The meeting was, at that
time, the most extensive and fruit-
ful collaboration to occur between
Soviet and American physicists in
controlled fusion theory. And un-
der Sagdeev's directorship of the
Institute for Space Physics, many of
the most dramatic advances in

space exploration occurred, includ-
ing a dramatic satellite encounter
with Halley's Comet,

In addition to his scientific
achievements, Sagdeev is a member
of the Soviet Union's Congress of
People's Deputies. In his role as
advisor to Gorbachev, he has been
an outspoken proponent for inter-
national security and disarmament,
and he is a strong and influential
spokesman on global environmen-
tal and energy issues.

Sagdeev and his wife Susan
Eisenhower have written several
articles for major newspapers and
magazines about the changing
situation in the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe and the effects of
these changes on the rest of the
world .

Sagdeev also is writing his
memoirs about his life as a scientist
in the Soviet Union. He expects to
have the project completed in a
couple of months and to see publi-
cation in about a year,

Maryland's new distinguished
professor of physics is a graduate
of Moscow State University. He has
worked at the Institute of Nuclear
Physics in Novosibirsk, the insti-
tute of High Temperature Physics
in Moscow, and as a professor of
physics at Novosibirsk State Uni-
versity and Moscow Physico-
Technical Institute. He is chair of
the Committee of Soviet Scientists
for Global Security.

He also is a member of the Aca-
demy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R.
and is a foreign member of the
American National Academy of
Sciences,

He has lengthy experience as a
physics instructor at both the grad-
uate and undergraduate levels and
is teaching graduate students in
plasma physics this semester at the
university.

Gudelsky Veterinary Center to be Dedicated Oct. 26

The Gudelsky Veterinary Center,
a $12.5 million building completed
this year, is the new home of the
Maryland Campus of the Virginia-
Maryland Regional College of
Veterinary Medicine. The center
will be dedicated Oct. 26 at 2 p.m.

President William E, Kirwan,
Maryland Secretary of Agriculture
Wayne A. Cawley, Jr. and other
dignitaries from both states will
participate in the ceremonies.

When the college moved its
components into the center, it was
the first time since 1938 that all
members of the college were
housed together. The center is
designed as a state-of-the-art
research, teaching, and service
facility supporting future programs
to meet the needs of agribusiness
and veterinary medicine in the
state of Maryland,

The center houses three units:
the Maryland Campus of the
Regional Veterinary College, the
Animal Health Diagnostic Labor-
atory of the Maryland Department
of Agriculture, and the Maryland
Racing Commission Drug Testing
Laboratory.

Last April, the college was
awarded full accreditation by the
American Veterinary Medical As-
sociation (AVMA). "Full" accredita-
tion represents the highest level of
the AVMA accreditation process.
The college achieved this prestig-
ious goal just prior to celebrating
its 10th anniversary.

"The college's new status as a
fully accredited institution will en-
hance student and faculty recruit-
ment, help procure externally fund-
ed research grants, and assist in
fund-raising," says Sashi Mohanty,

associate dean of the college's
Maryland campus.

Mohanty adds that the outstand-
ing efforts by the administration of
this university and officials of both
Maryland and Virginia have helped
bring about the recognition of the
college. "Their endeavors were
critical in achieving full accredita-
tion," he says.

Also, during the past year a new
academic agreement was negoti-
ated between the University of
Maryland at College Park and Vir-
ginia Tech, and has been signed by
the governors of the two states. A
major curriculum program in Gov-
ernment and Corporate Veterinary
Medicine is managed through the
Maryland Campus of the college,
and a program in Production Main-
tenance Medicine currently is being
established.

Bill Brandwein: Tech Supervisor
at Tawes and Then Some

Bill Brandwein's official title is
"technical supervisor" for Tawes
Theatre, but don't let the name fool
you.

"There's not a job description
out there that would encompass
everything 1 do," savs the energetic
34-year-old. So what does he do,
exactly? That depends on what's
happening on the Tawes, the
Pugliese, and the Experimental
Stages. "For the theater department,
I maintain the theaters. I make sure
all the equipment is working prop-
erly," he explains. "For outside
productions, I'm the stage manager
and production manager. I also do
all the computer work and oversee
the sound and lighting for every
show."

Though Brandwein has spent
some time on the other side of the
spotlight, he says he contributes at
least as much to productions now.

"The technical aspect is the most
important in the theater," he says.
"If an actor flubs a line, the audi-
ence forgives him, if they notice at
all. But what if an actress goes to
turn on a lamp, and the lamp
across the room comes on? At
best, technical mistakes ruin the
illusion."

Brandwein tries to instill this
sense of urgency in his student as-
sistants. "I remind them that every-
thing they do here will be seen by
thousands who paid to see it. The
audience is intolerant of technical
mistakes."

He supervises a regular crew of
six students, who help him main-
tain the theaters, and an additional
15 or 20 during productions. In five
years of overseeing novice set
builders and light hangers, there's
never been a serious injury. "One
thing I stress is safety," he says,
acknowledging the potential for
danger when students work with
power tools, nail guns, and 30-foot-
ladders.

Brandwein entered the univer-
sity as a freshman in 1974, and
never left. Schooled in technical
theater, electrical engineering, and
acoustics, he spent the first seven
years after his graduation in the
physics department, working with
Richard Berg, host of the highly
popular "Physics is Phun" educa-
tional series. Brandwein assisted in
developing several ideas for the
demonstrations which are sched-
uled four times a year, "We helped
put showmanship in physics," he
says proudly.

In 1985, he signed on with the
theater department as technical su-
pervisor, a position enhanced by
his scientific background. "For this
equipment," he says, gesturing
toward a mammoth black panel
dotted with brightly-colored knobs,
"you need an engineering back-
ground to understand it and a the-
atrical background to use it. J '

This combination of skills
helped him win a scholarship for
outstanding contribution to the the-

Bill Brandwein

ater. Bill Patterson, manager of
Tawes Theatre, remembers one un-
dergraduate accomplishment in
particular. "He created "Tinkerbell,"
recalls Patterson. "On Broadway,
they do it with a spotlight going
around the stage. But Bill wired the

stage with twinkling lights to make
it appear that she was flying
a round the room. It was magical!
The audience loved it."

Since coming to Tawes,
Brandwein has replaced or rebuilt
all of the lighting and most of the
sound equipment, also finding time
to computerize the box office's ac-
counting records system. On the
side, he has done some freelance
troubleshooting for area nightclubs,
including Lost and Found,
Cagney's, and the now defunct The
Pier. He says most of the requests
he gets from clubs are to repair
their sound or lighting systems,
although some want him to design
them.

But it doesn't look like he'll
have much time for outside work
this year. "The theatres will be in
use every night this semester," he
says, ticking off a list on his
fingers. "Rosh Hoshana and Yom
Kippur services, Latin Day for high
school kids, the Miss Black Unity
pageant."

Not to mention the in-house
productions. University Theatre
will present six shows this season,
all of which mean months of fine-
tuning. "It's not unusual to practice
two hours for every minute of the
show," says Brandwein, who com-
pares working on a show to giving
birth. The payoff for the weeks of
perfecting the lighting and sound
cues is invisibility.

"If we do a perfect job, nobody
knows we're there."

Forces Behind the Scenes

University Theatre will present
six plays this season. Lanford Wit-
son's "The Rimers of Eldritch," John
PieSmeier's "Agnes of God," and
Caryl Churchill's "Top Girls" will
appear at Pugliese Theatre, while
Charlie Smalls' "The Wiz," George
Bernard Shaw's "Major Barbara,"
and Shakespeare's "The Taming of
the Shrew" take the stage at Tawes.

The only musical, "The Wiz," is
shaping up to be the most difficult
to mount. "The Wiz' will stretch to
the limits the talents of everybody
involved, because it's such a high
volume rock & roll musical," says
Bill Brandwein, technical supervis-
or of Tawes Theatre, who will or-
chestrate the lighting and sound for
all productions.

Here's a look at some of the
other talent behind the scenes:

Bill Patterson, theatre manager
since 1974. Supervises University
Theatre publicity, public relations,
and fundraising for the theatre's
scholarship program. Also teaches
class in theater management.

David Kriebs, technical director.
In charge of all technical aspects of
University Theater: set design, cos-

tumes, lighting, sound. "He directs
everything but the actors," says Bill
Brandwein. Kriebs puts it another
way. "I'm the one who takes a
scene designer's ideas and turns
them into a structural reality,"
Kriebs told Outlook in a 1988 inter-
view.

Dan Wagner, lighting designer.
A Maryland alumnus, Wagner is
also the resident designer for
Washington's Studio Theater.

Mike Stepowany, scene shop
supervisor. Oversees set construc-
tion; also the set designer for "The
Wiz."

Dina Donnelly, costume shop
supervisor. Supervises construction
of all costumes. Also teaches cos-
tume construction and history.
"The big challenge this year is
blood," says Donnelly. "We have
three shows this year with blood in
them, so we're trying to develop
something that won't stain the
clothes."

Helen Huang, costume design-
er. In charge of designing costumes
and directs the student efforts at
costume design.

competition, according to director
Valeria Foster. "Our [the choir's]
existence is more than just a social
gathering; it's a support group,"
said Foster, "The purpose is to
bring them together, and hopefully
they will get some inspiration that
they can take back to campuses."

Foster, who has directed the
choir for almost ten years, has in-
vited choirs from Hood College,
George Mason, George Washington
and Georgetown Universities, and
the U.S. Naval Academy to per-
form. The groups do not just sing;
they also encourage each other.

"Competition is often what's
stressed on campuses instead of
fellowship," said Foster. "Not
everyone has a good year, but (the
Extravaganza] is not a time to be
discouraged."

Founded by students in 1975,
and later directed by gospel record-
ing artist Richard Small wood, the
College Park choir has performed
at various churches and commun-
ity functions in New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, Georgia, Virginia, and
Washington, D.C.

The choir provided background
vocals for "Purlie" [February 1989],
the first black musical produced at
College Park, and is scheduled to
sing for the November production
of "The Wiz."

Besides singing, the choir par-
ticipates in community service
projects.

"I think one of the nicest things
about the choir is that we don't just
get together and sing," said Foster,
"We do group things. One Satur-
day we were big brothers and big
sisters to foster children, we've col-
lected clothes for the homeless, and
one year a small group of us tu-
tored inmates in jail. We often tutor
each other. If a member is strug-
gling in a particular class and

The Maryland Gospel Choir is directed by Valeria Foster.

someone else can help, they do. A
Bible study group [co-sponsored by
the Black Ministries Programl
meets twice a month [during the
academic year]."

The choir also has won awards.

At the Nyumburu Cultural Cen-
ter Black Awards Night last May,
the choir received the Black Stu-
dent Organization of the Year
Award. One of the choir's most
outstanding accomplishments,
however, was the recording of its
first album in February. The album
includes a variety of gospels and
spirituals including "Jesus Loves
Me," "Ezekiai Saw De Wheel,"
"Christ Is Blessing Me" and many
more.

"1 am excited," said Nyumburu
director Otis Williams. "This [the
album] should enhance the visibil-
ity of the choir and help recruit
more minority students to Mary-
land."

Although the album was just
released, the choir is hopeful of a
positive response and would like to
record again in the future.

"I won't say how soon," Foster
continued, "because we haven't
really got this one out yet. This
being the first one, there's a lot to
be learned and a lot to do; we're
mainly getting some experience
now."

The choir, which has expanded
in number to over 100 members
including several alumni, has
grown together socially and spirit-
ually as well. Its members have

often been referred to as positive
role models for young blacks.

"Black kids should not be out
there just doing drugs," said six-
year alumna member, Petra Martin,
"They have the churches to look to.
If one person is to remember that,
it's worth it."

Although some of the Maryland
Gospel choir members receive cre-
dit for the class, many members
remain in the choir after gradu-
ation for its fellowship and sup-
port.

"[Being in the choir] has been an
experience I've never had before,"
continued Martin, "It has been
more influential than any class I
ever had because you learn more
than just music, but about life,
mainly from each other's experien-
ces. I know when I was [an under-
graduate], I always knew if I ever
felt lonely, I could not just turn to
one person, but to a whole choir.
It's definitely brought me closer to
God."

"We're more concerned about
each other's spiritual growth, and
each other's accomplishments
instead of being selfish," said choir
assistant chaplain, Doresa Barbour.
"We are a close- knit group but we
are not a clique."

Choir president and three-year
member, Stacy Jones puts it this
way, "It's not just a choir, it's not
just a class, it's not just a campus
organization, it's a family."

Wilson Play Opens Theatre Season

The Rimers of Eldritch, Lanford
Wilson's dim view of small town
life, will open the University
Theatre season, Oct. 16-21 and 23-
28, in the Rudolph E. Pugliese
Theatre.

"It seems that there are two
basic views of small town life,"
says director Ron O'Leary, assoc-
iate professor of theatre.

"There is the positive view.
People know each other, they know
each others' parents. If you're at
the store and don't have the money
to pay for something, the store

owner will give you credit because
he knows you. That's the side of
small town life that can be very
supportive and comforting," he
says,

"Then there is the dark side.
Everybody is constantly aware of
what everybody else is doing.
There are prejudices — certain
people are ostracized. It can be
very suffocating. This play focuses
on the dark side," he adds.

The play takes place in a former
coal-mining town in the Midwest
which has become increasingly de-

pressed with the loss of its central
industry. When the play opens, the
population has dwindled to 70 and
is "a virtual ghost town," according
to O'Leary.

In its setting and presentation, the
University Theatre production ex-
plores how people are affected by a
place that is in decline.

"We're trying to capture the ef-
fect of a town in which the life is
being leeched out of it," O'Leary
says.

RESEARCH

Program to Focus on Science News and the Public

The University of Maryland at College Park Chapter of
Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, will present "Science
in the Public Eye: The Importance of Communication," Thurs-
day, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. in Room 3201 of the J.M. Patterson
Building. UM System Chancellor Donald Langenberg, president
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
will deliver the keynote address. Other speakers include L.
George Wilson, a Congressional Science Fellow, Elliot Marshall,
senior news staff writer at Science magazine, Robert Bazell,
science correspondent for NBC News, Rita Colwell, professor of
microbiology and president-elect of Sigma Xi, and Robert Park,
professor of physics and director of the Washington office of the
American Physical Society.

Superconductivity Center Continues
Research, Expands Staff and Facilities

Richard L. Greene

Wide public interest in super-
conductor research has settled
down in the four years since major
materials discoveries first caused a
flurry of excitement, but the uni-
versity's Center for Superconduc-
tivity Research continues to con-
duct research, publish papers, and
expand its facilities and staff.

"After the initial excitement a
few years ago, researchers have
gone back into the trenches and are
facing reality," says Richard L.
Greene, director of the center
which operates on $2.7 million per
year in state funding and contracts.
"We are not going to have levitated
trains by next year, so we are
focusing on basic understanding
and on basic science."

According to Greene, much of
his center's interest is focused on
gaining greater knowledge of su-
perconducting materials and on
finding new, more practical ones.

The center is concentrating its
efforts on six interconnected areas;
synthesis, bulk properties, theory,
thin films, microstructural charac-

terization, and superconducting
electronics. In the area of synthesis,
for example, the center is concen-
trating on developing new classes
of superconductors, finding precur-
sors for deposition of thin films,
and preparing known supercon-
ductors for physical and chemical
characterization.

"We want to tie in basic
knowledge to the next level —
practical uses," Greene says. "It will
probably be a long time before we
are able to find uses for supercon-
ductors in the home, but there are
other likely commercial uses such
as for microwave devices, satellite
communications, infrared detectors
and superconducting magnets."

Greene points out that super-
conducting magnets already are the
major component in Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MR!), an im-
portant medical diagnostic tech-
nique now used in most hospitals.

"Our center is very much inter-
disciplinary," he says. "We have
chemists, physicists, material scien-
tists, and electrical engineers all

bringing their particular expertise
to this science. It is this interaction
that will advance our knowledge of
superconductors."

Interdisciplinary research also
can lead to greater funding through
joint research proposals that make
use of shared knowledge and facili-
ties, Greene says.

As part of his expansion plans,
Greene has added three outstand-
ing new faculty members to the
center's staff. Steven Anlage, an
expert in thin film materials and
microwave measurements, was
recruited from Stanford University;
Christopher J. Lobb, an expert on
the properties of superconductors
and superconducting devices, has
arrived from Harvard University;
and T. Venkatesan, an expert in the
preparation and characterization of
novel thin film materials, was
recruited from Bellcore of Red
Bank, N.J.

Greene plans to add two more
faculty members soon. He also
hopes to add additional positions
through joint appointments with
other departments.

As staff grows and research con-
tinues, the center's facilities also
will expand with 10,000 square feet
of laboratory and office space cur-
rently under construction and due
for completion next year.

"My goal is to make this one of
the best centers in the country,"
Greene says. "With the top people
we have succeeded in recruiting,
and with our excellent existing fa-
culty, we can continue to enhance
our 'reputation and increase our
outside funding."

Aerospace Engineering, NASA to Sponsor
International Waverider Symposium

The Department of Aerospace
Engineering and the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration
will sponsor the 1st International
Hypersonic Waverider Symposium
October 17-19. The conference will
be held at the Center of Adult Edu-
cation.

Research on all aspects of hyper-
sonic flight (speeds in excess of five
times the speed of sound) experi-
enced a resurgence in the 1980s,
notes aerospace engineering profes-
sor John D. Anderson, Jr. who
served as general organizer of the
symposium. Part of this renewed
interest includes a focus on high
lift-to-drag hypersonic vehicles.

Anderson and his department
colleague Mark J. Lewis served on
the symposium organizing commit-

tee and will chair several of the
conference sessions.

The waverider concept, first in-
troduced in the 1950s, has been re-
examined recently as an aerodyna-
mically efficient hypersonic config-
uration with promising results in
such diverse areas as hypersonic
atmospheric flight, orbital transfer,
entry into planetary atmospheres
and others.

The Maryland conference will
bring together more than 100 wave-
rider experts from around the
world to share information about
their research. Technical sessions
will focus on optimization and
design, mission application, experi-
mental investigations, analytical
studies, and computational fluid
dynamic applications, Anderson says.

Researchers from this country,
New Zealand, England, the
U.S.S.R., Japan, Canada, Japan,
Taiwan, Israel, Scotland, and Ger-
many will present papers,

Oct. 18, in Room 1240 of the Zoo/ Psych Building. The program,
which will feature a keynote address by Sandra Greer, chair of the
Department of Chemistry, is part of a university- wide initiative to
encourage talented students to pursue graduate and /or profes-
sional studies. The program is jointly sponsored by the Offices of
Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. For more information call

Equity in the Academy

President
William E. Kirwan

The following is excerpted from re-
marks made by President William E.
Kirwan at a program on Sept. 25
honoring Communications Associate
Professor Vicki Freimuth, the univer-
sity's 1990 Woman of the Year.

...To achieve equity in the acad-
emy, I am convinced we must shift
the types of questions we ask and
the nature of the solutions we pro-
pose. Although we have to continue
to work to improve the participation
rate of women and people of color
throughout our institutions, we can
no longer allow these initiative to be
the sole focus of our efforts. To
bring about fundamental and last-
ing change, we must give increased
attention to the transformation of
institutional cultures. Only through
affirmation of multiple traditions
and multiple perspectives can we
begin to change the norms by which
we operate.

Permanent change of these norms
must be the goal for the University
8 of Maryland at College
8 Park. To attain this goal, we need
» plans, resources and leadership. I
I would like to address each of these
areas briefly.

Our most comprehensive set of
current initiatives is guided by a
three-year plan to improve under-
graduate women's education (The
Greer Report). We are beginning
the third year of implementation of
this report under the leadership of
Betty Schmitz, special assistant to
the president, and we have already
accomplished a tremendous
amount:

< We have added three new full-
time positions to Women's Studies,
creating one of the strongest and
most diverse programs in the coun-
try, a program that, I am proud to
say, has considerable expertise on
U.S. women of color and women
internationally- I want to commend
Evelyn Beck again this year for her
extraordinary leadership of the
Women's Studies Program and the
program's successful efforts in
recruiting excellent faculty to the
campus.

"* As part of the implementation
of the Greer Report, we also have
established and funded for three
years an intensive summer institute
for faculty members so that they
can incorporate feminist scholar-
ship into their courses. In this pro-
gram, fifteen faculty members have
an opportunity each summer to
reevaluate the underpinnings of
their disciplines in light of new
perspectives on women and to in-
corporate their findings into cour-
ses central to undergraduate educa-
tion. This highly innovative pro-
gram was organized by Betty
Schmitz and is now directed by
Deborah Rosenfelt of the Women's
Studies Program.

-* We have set up a comprehen-
sive program of education for
faculty members and graduate

teaching assistants on improving
the classroom climate for all stu-
dents. Through this program, coor-
dinated by Betty Schmitz, Pamela
Paul and Roger Mclntire, we hope
to begin to remove the subtle,
sometimes subconscious forms of
bias that exist in the classroom en-
vironment.

-* And we have initiated pro-
grams to reduce gender disparity in
academic fields of study and in
the faculty and staff of the institu-
tion. As one example, we have in-
itiated summer outreach programs
for junior high and high school
students to explore the fields of
science and engineering. This year
we brought 61 young women to
our campus for periods of up to six
weeks to give them an experience
working with our faculty and in
our laboratories.... The Women in
Engineering Program is directed by
Marilyn Berman; the Minority
Scholars in Computer Science and
Engineering Program is directed by
Rosemary Parker, Thelma Williams
and La Wanda Assem; and the new
Physics Summer Outreach Program
is coordinated by Angelo Bardasis....

To ensure that progress on
women's equity issues continues —
indeed becomes institutionalized — I
have asked that the Greer Commit-
tee provide me this year with an
assessment of our effort to improve
undergraduate women's education
and to make recommendations on
additional steps this institution
must take to achieve our ultimate
goals of gender equity.

More permanent oversight of
the status of women on campus is
provided by the President's Com-
mission on Women's Affairs....!
want to take this opportunity to
welcome the new chair of the com-
mission, Josephine Withers, associ-
ate professor of Art History and
affiliate faculty member in
Women's Studies. Also I want to
thank once again Virginia
Beauchamp for her excellent
leadership of the commission of the
past three years.

Josephine has indicated to me
that the agenda for the commission
for this coming year will include:
continued attention to questions of
diversity, day care and elder care,
equity in women's athletics, hiring
and promotion of women of all
races, salary equity, as well as new-
initiatives such as a review of the
campus climate for classified and
associate staff and attention to re-
duction of heterosexism and homo-
phobia on the campus.

Another important initiative be-
ginning this year comes from the
Office of Human Relations Pro-
grams under the leadership of
Gladys Brown. It is a comprehen-
sive sexual harassment training
program. I want to commend
Gladys on the very fine manual she
and her staff developed and assure
her of ongoing administrative sup-
port for this vitally important effort.

These plans, programs and
initiatives need resources. ...I want to
assure that in making the required
cuts this year, we will place the
highest on preserving our gains in
the areas of diversity and equity
and continue to strive to meet the
goals for equity and diversity that
are built into our five-year
enhancement plan....

Finally, to attain our goals for
women's equity, we need leader-
ship. This annual event is one way
we recognize women who are out-
standing in their fields. We are
where we are today — a national
leader in implementing change for
women — due to the work of many-
campus leaders — both women and
men — who have worked for
women's rights over the past
decades. The person we honor to-
day, Vicki Freimuth, associate prof-
essor in the Department of Com-
munication, is such a person — a
role model. In addition to Vicki's
contributions to the field of health
education, she served as chair of
the Women's Commission and as a
member of the Greer Committee. In
these roles, she has made substan-
tial contributions to shaping this
institution's vision for change.

We need more leaders of this
kind and we are taking steps to
ensure that we will have them. The
Center for Political Participation
and Leadership, so ably directed by
Georgia Sorenson, annually brings
together established women politi-
cal leaders with women aspiring to
lead.

As another step toward develop-
ing women leaders on this campus,
I plan to initiate — next year — an
internship program in my office for
women faculty members to work
on women's and other issues at the
campus level....

We will also continue to seek and
support other opportunities for
leadership development. I am proud
to announce that this year Judy D,
Olian, associate professor, College
of Business and Management, is
serving as an American Council on
Education Fellow in mv office.

Next spring College Park will co-
sponsor — with the American
Council on Education — a meeting of
presidents of public research
universities that have comprehen-
sive plans to improve the status of
women on campus. This meeting
will enable us to compare initiatives
and strategies for addressing some
of the persistent problems, to move
to a new level of commitment on
these issues, and to explore new,
transformative models for change.

There is today no model univer-
sity that truly reflects the diversity
of our society and that truly affirms
the multiple traditions and perspec-
tives that have shaped it. I sincerely
believe we have the opportunity to
create such a university at College
Park....
