Resource use vs. environmental
damage control

In his second annual address as
to the Campus Senate on Oct. 22,
Provost J. Robert Dorfman listed
some of the past year's enduring
academic accomplishments and
urged careful planning and self -as-
sessment to preserve the univer-
sity's gains in a period of diminish-
ing resources.

Noting that over the past three
fiscal years the university had
received greater increases than
many other state agencies,
Dorfman toid his attentive audi-
ence, "We have done a lot with
those monies, but one of the most
precious commodities we have pur-
chased i s— m o m en t u m . ' '

"The University of Maryland at
College Park cannot, and will not,
Stop moving forward now," he pro-
mised. "The cuts have not brought
an end to life as we know it. I want
to emphasize that."

In redirecting academic resour-
ces, "We will be guided by the par-
amount need to maintain the integ-
rity of our undergraduate and
graduate instructional programs; to
continue to foster research; and to

fulfill and exceed our commitments
of service to the larger community
and the state," Dorfman said.

Dorfman listed his priorities for
making budget selections, which
include, at some level: the mainten-
ance and support of the Francis
Scott Key and Benjamin Banneker
Scholarship program; the promo-
tion of cultural diversity at the uni-
versity; the recruitment and reten-
tion of quality and diverse faculty;
the support of the graduate fellow-
ship program; the assistance of pro-
grams that are poised to attain na-
tional first-rank quality; the main-
tenance of the university's academ-
ic core; and the use of the Enhance-
ment Plan as a continuing guide
for program development.

He also outlined how the new
budget planning process in Aca-
demic Affairs will work: "Follow-
ing consultation with faculty and
department chairs, the deans will
submit plans to the provost's office,
which will seek the advice and
consultation of the Senate Execu-

University Establishes Center for the
Study of Post-Communist Societies

As a result of the recent political
and economical changes in Eastern
Europe, the university has estab-
lished the Center for the Study of
Post-Communist Societies (CSPCS).

The purpose of the center, says
Bartlomiej Kaminski, the center's
director and an associate professor
in the Department of Government
and Politics, is to serve as a focal
point for collaborative research,
business and public policy activi-
ties, linking American and Central
European educational and research
programs for studying the complex
political and economic problems of
former societies in their transition
to democracy and a market
economy.

"The university is in a unique
position to establish such a center
because of its location, unparalleled
blend of active research interest in
Eastern Europe, international secur-
ity and political economy and the
diversity of backgrounds of faculty
members," says Kaminski, a native
of Poland.

Currently, the center is a joint
program between the university
and the University of Warsaw, but
will eventually be expanded to in-
clude other major educational in-
stitutions in post-communist societ-
ies of Eastern and Central Europe.

"Because the disintegration of
communism can be seen in its most
advanced stage in Poland, the

country constitutes the best labora-
tory for studying the transition to
democracy and a market economy,"
says Kaminski.

Major activities planned for the
center's first year include the estab-
lishment of a data base to docu-
ment the process of transition in
Poland, launching a series of joint
research projects on the politics and
economics of transition, organizing
regular seminars, preparing a series
of workshops and symposia jointly
with the Warsaw center, assisting
faculty in designing new curricula
in social sciences and organizing a
program of modern political econ-
omy for graduate students and fac-
ulty at the University of Warsaw.

Two major conferences are also
Ian nod for 1991, including the first
on "Institutional Reform in Poland"
to commemorate the 200th anniver-
sary of the Polish Constitution on
May 3 which will be held in War-
saw in June, and a national three-
day conference in October on
"Comparing the Transition in
Poland, Hungary and Czechoslo-
vakia," which will be held on the
College Park campus.

Faculty members from the De-
partment of Government and Poli-
tics, the Department of Economics,
and the Department of Sociology
are involved in the center.

Human Ecology Creates
Mentoring Program

Mathew Goldberg, junior
food service
administration major,
talks with his mentor
Jerrisa D. Perkins,
assistant manager at a
Bob's Big Boy
restaurant. Perkins is a
1983 institution
administration graduate.

The College of Human Ecology
kicked off a new mentoring pro-
gram for its students during a re-
ception that brought 50 students
and their mentors together for the
first time on October 9. The men-
tors are Human Ecology alumni
who have been working in their
professions for several 1 years and
will brin£ insight about their career
fields to students who will soon
enter these professions.

"We've had a great response
from our alums," says Sallie
Holder, chair of the Mentor Project
and member of the Human Ecol-
ogy Alumni Board. "Thev are eager
to work with students and to
strengthen their own ties with the
college. Thev feel this is a great
way to give something back to the
university."

According to Jan George, coor-
dinator for the program, students
and mentors will arrange to meet
and communicate frequently dur-
ing the vear. Mentors may give stu-
dents tours of job sites, introduce
students to professional colleagues,
assist with resumes, discuss their
careers over lunch or dinner, even
allow students to sit in on business
meetings or conferences. "In short,
mentors mav take whatever ap-
proaches seem appropriate to assist
students in preparing for their car-
eers," George says.

Most of the mentors live within
a reasonable distance of College
Park, but some, particularly appar-
el designers, live as far awav as
New York City.

"We have been able to match

people with great expertise to our
students," says [(older. "This ex-
perience should be invaluable to
these students who will now get a
first-hand look at the professions
they plan to enter."

Though the response to the pro-
gram has been excellent from both
students and mentors, the alumni
board is still attempting to find
mentors in the area of consumer
advocacy for students who are in-
terested in that area.

According to George, a survey
of recent graduates from the col-
lege showed that, while thev felt
the College of Human Ecology had
trained them well for their careers,
one area that could be improved
upon was career development. The
college's alumni board then estab-
lished the mentoring prugram for
current students.

The college also is developing
other programs, such as resume
writing and job search workshops,
appointing faculty members as
career development advisors, and
inviting alumni to classes as guest
lecturers.

Clarence Stone Receives Major Book Awards

Award-winning author
Clarence N. Stone

Government and Politics profes-
sor Clarence N. Stone has received
two recent political science awards
for his book. Regime Politics: Gov-
erning Atlanta, 1946-1988 (Univer-
sity Press of Kansas), which an-
alyzes the past 40 years of political
and economic activity in Atlanta,
Georgia.

Stone is the recipient of the
American Political Science Associa-
tion's 1990 Ralph J. Bunche Award
and also the Best Book Award from
the Urban Politics section of the
American Political Science Associa-
tion.

The Ralph J. Bunche Award is
awarded annually by the associa-
tion for the best scholarly work in
political science that explores the
phenomenon of ethnic and cultural
pluralism.

In selecting Stone for the Best
Book Award for Urban Politics, the
association noted that the
"powerful theoretical thrust of this
work represents a paradigm shift
in the study of urban power and
policy making."

The association also described
the book as a "pathbreaking work."

Using the concept of urban re-
gime. Regime Politics: Governing At-
lanta, 1946-88 analyzes the ways in
which resource-rich groups are able
to devise informal means of co-
operation and create an effective
capacity to govern.

Stone's other books include Eco-
nomic Growth and Neighborhood Dis-
content (winner of the 1977
C has tain Award for the best book
on southern politics), The Politics of
Urban Development , and Urban Poli-
cy and Politics in a Bureaucratic Age.

Stone's future research includes
a comparative study of several cit-
ies, focused on how they set their
policy agendas.

"As their economic functions
change," says Stone, "many cities
give the highest priority to re-
development — to a restructuring of
land use and the development of
new facilities."

He notes, however, this is a
somewhat puzzling pattern — alter-
ing land use is no easy path to fol-
low; it is one laden with conflict
and controversy.

And Stone adds that the re-
wards for pursuing redevelopment
are indirect, long term, and limited
at best.

"In Atlanta and other cities that
have long engaged in redevelop-
ment, as many as 40 percent of
their children live in poverty," he
says. "And no matter how many
new convention centers, exhibit
halls, and office towers are built,
these children have little prospect
(if becoming part of the post-in-
dustrial economy of these cities."

Stone says that many social sci-
entists have identified a need for
special efforts to enhance human
capital, such as programs to edu-
cate people and give them skills to
be more productive members of the
work force.

Stone also notes that even
though popular sentiment favors
^uch programs, they are often
neglected. His research will try to
determine why this is the case and
what might achieve a more equal
balance between physical improve-
ments and "people programs."

"It is important to know what

would make it possible for com-
munities to organize more exten-
sive human- resource efforts," says
Stone, who adds that he is specifi-
cally interested in what kinds of
supporting coalitions and what
forms of cooperation would be in-
volved.

It's Time to Nominate DSTs

It's time to submit nominations of outstanding faculty researchers
who are also excellent teachers for consideration for the prestigious
Distinguished Scholar Teacher (DST) awards, according to Kathryn
Mohrman, dean for Undergraduate Studies and chair of the selec-
tion committee. The program has been made more flexible this
year as a result of a study by a faculty committee chaired by
Stephen Brush (HIST/tPST). Only tenured faculty are eligible for
nominations, which are due on Nov. 7. Call Susan Koonce at
405-9353 for details.

Ponnamperuma Receives
International Service Award

Cyril Ponnamperuma, professor
of chemistry, has been chosen as
the first recipient of College Park's
Distinguished International Service
Award.

A banquet in Ponnamperuma's
honor is being planned for the
evening of Dec. 3. In association
with the award, a graduate fellow-
ship is being given to a College
Park student in Ponnamperuma's
name.

The award was established this
year by J. Robert Dorfman, aca-
demic vice-president and provost,
on the recommendation of the In-
ternational Affairs Committee
(I AC). The selection of
Ponnamperuma was recommended
bv an awards committee appointed
by the I AC, chaired by Grace Yang,
professor of mathematics.

The award is given for signifi-
cant contributions to the develop-
ment of international programs at
College Park, backed by a distin-
guished professional career in in-
ternational affairs and scholarship.

Ponnamperuma was burn in Sri
Lanka, received his B.A. from Bir-
beck College, University of* Lon-
don, and his Ph.D. from the Uni-
veisity of California, Berkeley,
where he studied chemistry under
the direction of Nobel Laureate
Melvin Calvin.

Ponnamperuma joined College
Park in 1971 as professor of chem-
istry and director of the Laboratory
of Chemical Evolution. He teaches
a graduate course on Chemical
Evolution and an interdisciplinary
undergraduate course on cosmic
evolution.

He is the author of more than
300 publications and ten books
(most notably. The Origins of Life)
and is a recipient of innumerable
international awards. He is science
advisor to the President of Sri
Lanka, director of the Institute of
Fundamental Studies and director
of the Arthur C. Clarke Centre for
Modern Technologies in Sri Lanka.

At College Park,
Ponnampentma has played a major
role in developing programs relat-
ed to Sri Lanka. He has headed the
university's Sri Lanka Committee
for many years and has worked
with the committee to build proj-
ects thai place College Park a I the
very top of the list of United States
universities with programs in Sri
Lanka.

Among the many College Park
projects that Ponnamperuma has
helped develop is a laboratory in
Kandy where young Sri Lankans
can prepare themselves for partici-
pation in world-class science pro-
grams, a program to build a mod-
ern information system for Sri
Lankan libraries, and an AlD-fund-
ed project of the School of Public
Affairs designed to build relation-
ships between the private and pub-
lic sectors in Sri Lanka.

Before joining this university,
Ponnamperuma served with
NASA's Exobiology Division and
became chief of the Chemical Evo-
lution Branch, with a primary goal
of studying the origin of life. When
the Apollo program was estab-
lished, he was selected as a princi-
pal investigator for organic analysis
and was later involved with NASA

Senate Debates Honor

Pledge and Takes Action on TA Training

An energetic debate over the
appropriateness of a student honor
pledge proposed bv the Student
I lonor Council dominated the Oct.
22 Campus Senate agenda before
the draft pledge was ultimately
voted down.

Presented bv philosophy gradu-
ate student Toby Linden, the draft
pledge was designed to meet a re-
quirement of the university's new
Code of Academic Integrity. The
code is currently in effect and calls
for the wording of the pledge to be
recommended by the Student Hon-
or Council for approval by the
Campus Senate.

While beginning with the word-
ing of the pledge, the debate soon
called into question the appropri-
ateness and effectiveness of any
such required pledge. The failure
of the motion! sends the draft back
to the Student Honor Council to be
rewritten. Several senators indicat-
ed they may also make alternate
proposals.

In another action, the Campus
Senate approved a proposal from
the General Committee of Pro-
grams, Curricula and Courses pre-

sented by chair Thomas Regan
(Chem. and Nuc. Engin.) regarding
changing of the name for the Insti-
tute for Urban Studies to the
Department of Urban Studies and
Planning.

Approval also was given to the
Campus Policy for the Training
and Supervision of Teaching Assis-
tants, a revision of a document
originally presented to the senate
last spring.

Also approved was the creation
of a Graduate Certificate in
Women's Studies. This action reg-
ularizes a program that is already
in place and staffed, according to
director of Women's Studies,
Evelyn Beck, and as such will not
require additional funding,

A resolution to proclaim Nov.
14 and 15 as Multicultural Com-
munity Awareness Days at the uni-
versity was presented bv M unique
Clague (Ed. Pol. Plan.) and carried
unanimous! v.

The next regular meeting of the
Campus Senate will be on Nov. 15.
Chancellor Donald Langenberg will
be the special speaker.

in the Viking and Voyager pro-
grams. He also has been on the
visiting faculty of Stanford Univer-
sity, the University of Nijmegen in
the Netherlands, and the Sorbonne.

Anyone interested in nominat-
ing a candidate for next year's Dis-
tinguished International Service
Award, should contact Grace Yang
at 405-5173. Those interested in at-
tending the banquet for
Ponnamperuma should contact
Karen Lasher or Bo!a Dawson at
405-4772.

Dorfman Outlines
Budget Priorities

continued from page I

tive Committee and APAC [Aca-
demic Planning Advisory Commit-
tee]."

"APAC will review the deans'
submissions, as well as receiving
information from the deans direct-
ly. APAC will make recommenda-
tions to the provost, and 1, in turn,
will act as the representative of
Academic Affairs at the higher
planning levels," Dorfman said.

Guardedlv optimistic, Dorfman
observed, "When, as it undoubtedly
will, the economy of the state im-
proves again, we will reap many
benefits from these actions. A uni-
versity that is entering that new
period of growth will be a univer-
sity with a healthy balance of pro-
grams and a well-thought-out set
of priorities for continued growth
with higher levels of state support."

Among the past year's achieve-
ments, Dorfman singled out the
hiring of distinguished senior fac-
ulty and promising junior faculty,
the admission of high-SAT-scoring
freshmen and able graduate stu-
dents, and the increasing numbers
of women and minorities among
the graduate students.

Dorfman also commended the
work of Don Piper (Govt, and Pol.)
on improving student retention arid
graduation rates, and John Osborn
(CM PS) and a new Campus Course
Access committee to increase the
availability of places to students
needing required courses.

Michael Powell: An Ear
Campus Complaints

for

When E.F. Hutton talks... every-
body listens.

But not just anyone is willing to
listen when serious complaints are
voiced. When a student, a univer-
sity employee, or a faculty member
has a grievance about unfairness...
University Compliance officer
Michael Powell, listens,

"i'm in a position where I can
make changes and have a direct
impact," says Powell, "not just on
an individual basis but also with
policy development."

Powell graduated from College
Park in 1981 and received his law
degree from the University of
Maryland at Baltimore in 1986.
Soon after passing the bar exam, he
began working here as compliance
officer on a contractual basis.

"1 had no inclination 1 would
end up in higher education," says
Powell. "Gladys Brown who was
acting Human Relations director
then, was advisor of the Pre- Law
society when I was an undergrad.
When she became director, she of-
fered me the contractual position.
Later on ! became the permanent
officer."

Since he began, Powell has dealt
with all kinds of campus com-
plaints. He especially likes working
with students, and whenever an
organization wants to sponsor a
controversial event, he strives for
fairness.

"I'm a strong believer of First
Amendment rights," he says. "I
don't believe anybody has a right
to infringe on that, (f a group
wants to bring someone on cam-
pus, I feel they have the right."

Since the semester started,
Powell has read over 20 compli-
ance cases. Some involve students,
or employees, but he says the num-
ber of faculty complaints is also
increasing.

"Since the Supreme Court decid-
ed that faculty can now have access
to tenure decision minutes and rec-
ords (in the Equal Employment
Opportunity Corporation v. Penn
State case), more faculty are using
the information."

Manv of Powell's cases are dif-
ficult and require long hours of re-
search. Two unusual situations
involved disputes over religion.

"It was a First Amendment case
dealing with Church and State," he
savs. "Someone was complaining
a Knit prayer during convocation,
but the Amendment's establish-
ment clause decided having prayer
was not a violation. Or if it's a situ-
ation where a student is assigned
to take an exam but it conflicts
with a religious observance, I also
handle those."

Other types of cases Powell han-
dles include those dealing with
race, national origin, gender, politi-
cal affiliation or physical handicap.
Besides handling cases, Powell de-
velops workshops and training
programs to provide human rela-
tions remedies for the complaints
processed. "I'm a believer in man-
datory training," says the 31 -year-
old Powell. "For instance, prejudice
is a learned behavior, and to deal
with it, it has to be unlearned. One
day workshops won't do it. There
needs to be a commitment to this
kind of personal development."

Although Powell admits he
would like to return one dav to the
excitement of the courtroom, he
believes his experiences have in-
creased his respect for the collegi-
ate system.

"I think I've gained an apprecia-
tion for the schools in the region or
even nationally," he says. "Some
schools outside of the Maryland
svstem don't have this type of of-
fice, so in that respect we're lead-

Michael Powell

ing the way.

"However, there's still a lot that
needs to be done, 1 would like to
see individuals develop the mind-
set that the law only sets minimum
standards of conduct."

After four years of listening to
complaints, Powell has vet to see
one of his recommended decisions
overturned. This added confidence
and the recognition that what he is
doing is important, helps him to
cope with the occasional stress of
his position.

"I like conflict," says Powell. "I
win mure than I lose, so that helps
a lot. I'm a strong believer in prin-
ciple, and I just want to do the
right thing."

Equity Council: Mission and Members

The Equity Council serves as an
advisory group to President
William E. Kirwan and provides
leadership to the articulation and
development of affirmative action,
desegregation and grievance reso-
lution policies and procedures re-
lated to equity for the campus com-
munity.

After these policies and proce-
dures have been developed, indi-
vidual Equity Administrators assist
the president, vice presidents and
deans in implementing and moni-
toring these policies and proce-
dures at the college, school and
major unit level. Collectively, these
administrators make up the Equity
Council which serves as a resource
to individual council members as
well' as to the entire campus com-
munity on these issues.

The Council consists of repre-

sentatives from each vice presi-
dent's and dean's office and the
director of the Office of Human
Relations. Ray Gillian, assistant to
the president, and the Equity Ad-

Conference To Examine Life of
Women in Early Modern England

Glancing into (he hooks and
papers surviving from early mod-
ern England, one finds a man's
world.

Men, for the most part, conduct-
ed the public activity of society and
kept the records of that activity.
When women, with the exception
of extraordinary women such
Queen Elizabeth I of England, ap-
pear, it is usually in the margins. If
even there.

In the past several decades,
however, scholars in such fields as
literature, history, art history and
political science have worked to
pull the women of early modern
England from the historical shad-
ows. By carefully sifting through
public documents and private writ-
ings from the period, these scholars
have identified characteristics of
the public and private lives of wo-
men in early modern England.

This scholarship will be the sub-
ject of a major conference, "Attend-
ing to Women in Early Modern
England," Nov. 8-10 at the univer-
sity. Leading authorities, including
Lisa Jardine, professor of English
and history at the University of

London, will meet to discuss cur-
rent research and new methods of
uncovering information abotit
Renaissance women.

A special theatrical performance
directed by Catherine Schuler, as-
sistant professor of theatre, and
Sharon Ammen, a doctoral student
of theatre, also will be held in con-
junction with the event. The perfor-
mance, which will feature readings
about women of the period and a
scene from "Meriam," the first
known English language play writ-
ten by a woman, will begin at 8
p.m. at the National Museum of
Women in the Arts in Washington,
DC.

Jane Donawerth, associate pro-
fessor of English, Adele Seeff, di-
rector of the Center for Renaissance
and Baroque Studies, and Virgina
Beauchamp, retired associate pro-
fessor of English, are university
members of the event's planning
committee.

"We don't want to talk too much
about queens," says Beauchamp.
"What we're trying to retrieve is
the history of ordinary women. In
this conference we're bringing to-

al Japanese comedies will appear at
the university Oct. 30.

The Theatre of Yugen will pre-
sent English language performan-
ces of three works of the Kyogen
theater at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30,
in Pugliese Theatre.

Kyogen theater is a theatrical
form that developed in feudal Jap-
an in conjunction with Noh theater.
Noh tended to be long and serious
dramas, and the Kvogen plays
were short comic interludes per-

formed to offer relief from day-
long cvcles of Noh plays.

Within the bodv of traditional
Japanese theatrical works, Kyogen
plays are considered among the
most accessible for modern West-
ern audiences.

The program is co-sponsored by
the Department of Theatre and the
Department of Hebrew and East
Asian Languages and Literatures.

Tickets must be purchased at the
Tawes Theatre Box Office. There
are no telephone reservations for
this show.

Center of Renaissance and Baroque
Studies Organizes Japanese Culture Day

A day-long festival to celebrate
Japanese culture, co-sponsored by
the Center for Renaissance and
Baroque Studies and featuring Col-
lege Park faculty members, will be
held Nov. 3 at the Friendship
Heights Village Center in Mont-
gomery County.

Experts on Japanese literature,
art, music and cultural values will
make presentations at the program
which will be held from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m.

The College Park faculty mem-
bers participating are Thomas
Rimer, chair of the Department of
East Asian Languages and Litera-
tures, and Mark Sandler, assistant
professor of art history.

Rimer will discuss the relation-
ship between Japanese literature
and Japanese cultural values.
Sandler will focus on important
elements of Japanese art with a
slide presentation on woodblock
prints.

Other experts will discuss Japan-
ese musical forms and kyogen the-
ater, a form of comic theater.

The event is part of a continuing
series of days highlighting foreign
cultures coordinated by the center.
The other co-sponsors of the event
are the Montgomery County Com-
mission on the Humanities and the
Friendship Heights Village Center.

For more information call 405-
6830.

gether many of the different aca-
demic disciplines that can help us
gather that history."

Examples of materials that con-
vey a sense of the lives of women
of the period will be part of the
theatrical presentation. The read-
ings will include a woman's court
disposition before she is martyred
by being burned at the stake, a wo-
man-authored satire about the rela-
tionship between Adam and Eve,
an excerpt from the autobiography
of Margery Kempe (one of the first
autobiographies in the English lan-
guage) and a court document cen-
tering on Hie testimom of a
battered wife.

Co-sponsors of the event are the
College of Arts and Humanities,
the Graduate School and the Center
for Renaissance and Baroque Stud-
ies. And if less is known about wo-
men of Renaissance England than
scholars would prefer, it is not due
to a lack of current popularity for
the subject. With more than 230
registrations, it will be the largest
conference ever hosted by the Cen-
ter for Renaissance and Baroque
Studies, according to organizers.

Who

Owns Antarctica? College
Study Looks at Land Use There

Eileen L. McLellan

Antarctica makes up more than
nine percent of the Earth's land
surface, and may contain a wealth
of unexploited minerals such as
uranium, iron, gold, plutonium, oil
and gas. Because Antarctica has
been designated a "global com-
mons" area bv the United Nations,
its mineral wealth is theoretically
available to all countries of the
world.

But for about 30 years now, sev-
eral countries have laid claim to
parts of Antarctica, causing the
problem of deciding who actually
does own the vast resources ex-
pected to exist below the ice, and
who will be responsible for pre-
venting or cleaning up environ-
mental damage caused bv mining
or other activities.

Eileen McLellan, an associate
professor of geology with a special
interest in land use and public poli-
cy, has been looking for answers to
these questions.

Claims to Antarctica center on
the theory that the continent once
was a part of Gondwanaland, the
hypothetical ancient super-conti-
nent that once included what are
now Antarctica, India, Australia,
Africa and South America. If An-
tarctica once was part of these oth-
er continents, shouldn't its resour-
ces still belong to the lands that
once bordered it?

McLellan suspects, however,
that many countries are staking
claims based almost solely on the
locations of resources.

"I had to ask," she says, "why
would one country lay claim to a
piece of land that somebody else
already has claimed. Then I found
a map of areas claimed, and placed
it over a map of areas where it is

believed that the largest concentra-
tion of minerals lie. Not surprising-
ly, several countries are laying
claim to the most mineral-rich
areas of Antarctica.

"While members of the Antarctic
Treaty System, which includes the
United States, argue that thev have
the experience needed to manage
Antarctic development, the United
Nations argues that the mineral
wealth of Antarctica belongs to the
world at large. And environmental
groups are concerned about the
possibility that mining will lead to
habitat loss and toxic spills,"
McLellan says.

In an effort to deal with these
concerns, countries of the Antarctic
Treaty System, an organization of
nations with research experience in
Antarctica and including all coun-
tries claiming land there, drew up
the Convention on the Regulation
of Antarctic Mineral Resource Ac-
tivities (CRAMRA), aimed at regu-
lating mineral development in Ant-
arctica. The United States currently
is deciding whether or not to ratify
this agreement, and several bills
are before Congress on this issue.

But according to McLellan, the
ATS is sidestepping the ownership
issue to avoid conflict among spon-
sor nations with competing claims.

"The basic problem is whether it
is possible to use a resource while
controlling or eliminating environ-
mental damage. The problem with
mining and land use is similar to
that of maintaining air quality, and
may be solved in a similar way to
that designed for the United States
by the Environmental Protection
Agency."

Like the EPA's air pollution con-
trol program, McLellan proposes

University to Participate in
Interactive Voyager Broadcast

The University of Maryland at
College Park will he one of only
live universities across the nation
participating in an interactive
broadcast on the Voyager Space-
craft sponsored bv the Digital
Equipment Corporation.

The program will be broadcast
Nov. 14 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. in
I fornbake Library to a selected
audience.

The lecture entitled, "Sail On,
Voyager," will be given by physi-
cist Edward C. Stone and broadcast
live from Arnold Mabel Beck man
Center of the National Academies
of Sciences and Engineering, iocat-
ed near the University of California
at Irvine,

Stone, who served as project sci-
entist for the Voyager mission, will
discuss the findings and challenges
of Voyager.

According to Marilyn Scannell,
School /University Cooperative

Programs coordinator, 60 local high
school students and staff and 30
universitv engineering students are
invited to participate in the broad-
cast.

The audience at College Park
will be able to direct questions to
Stone, as well as see and hear the
lecture as it happens.

Also on hand for the College
Park link-up will he campus facul-
ty, administrators, school system
science supervisors, school princi-
pals, representatives from NASA,
the aerospace industry and state
policymakers and education lead-
ers, says Scannell.

Others wishing to watch the
broadcast may do so in the non-in-
teractive room in Non- Print Media
Services. Room T, 4 th floor, Horn-
bake Library.

For more information, call 405-
6827.

that a permit system be developed
that would set strict limits on total
environmental impact within deter-
mined areas of Antarctica.

"Mining companies from any
nation wishing to operate in an
area would need to bid for permits,
and the more environmentally
damaging a company's operation,
the more permits it would need to
buy," says McLellan. "This could
help to make it economically ad-
vantageous to keep environmental
damage to a minimum."

McLellan adds that the system
also would allow environmental
groups to participate in the permits
market and buy up land for preser-
vation rather than exploitation. She
also suggests that a fund be estab-
lished from permit fees that would
be available for environmental
cleanup in the event of an accident
such as a spill.

McLellan is presenting a paper
on her findings, "Earth Resources
and Public Policy, or, The Legacy
of Gondwanaland," on Oct. 30 at
the 1990 meeting of the Geological
Society of America in Dallas.

Eugenie Clark, Zoology, for the
publication of her 12th article in
the October issue of National
Geographic. Clark may hold the
record as the author for the
greatest number of articles in the
magazine.

Lawrence Moss, Music, for receiv-
ing another award from the Ameri-
can Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers (ASCAP) for 1990-
91. The award recognizes original
compositions as well as recent per-
formance activity of those works.
Moss has a long tradition of receiv-
ing ASCAP awards.

Danuta Nitecki, Libraries, for
being elected to represent the state
at next year's White House Con-
ference on Libraries and Informa-
tion Services. She will be one of
three librarian delegates from
Maryland.

Personal

Carl Bode, professor emeritus,
English, reports that the treatment
for his glaucoma has been unsuc-
cessful. This means that his con-
tacts with the university whose
faculty he joined as professor of
American Literature in 1947 will
diminish, but, he hopes, will not
stop.

Experiment Station Awards $900,000
to 38 Research Projects

Researchers from the Colleges
of Agriculture, Life Sciences and
Human Ecology are the recipients
of $900,000 to support projects that
range from a comparison of the
commercial quality of wild-
captured and aquacul hired hybrid
striped bass to the feasibility of
Asian pears as a high-value, pest
tolerant alternative crop for Mary-
land farmers to genetics research
on the Colorado potato beetle.

Administered by the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station
(MAES), the Competitive Grants
Program helps fund research pro-
jects in the areas of water quality
and global climate change, alter-
nate crops, aquaculture, integrated
pest management, and other un-
specified research topics.

Investigators for each of the 38
funded projects will receive

between $10,000 to $30,000. The
awards were approved last spring
after a 16-member competitive
grant review committee of repre-
sentatives from College Park, Penn
State and North Carolina State Uni-
versities and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture evaluated 99
proposals.

The program, which last year
made awards totalling $700,000,
helps support high risk projects by
College Park scientists and funding
that can be used as seed money to
attract additional financial support
from federal agencies such as the
USDA and National Institutes of
Health.

"We already have several exam-
ples of leveraged aid from projects
funded last year," says Robert A.
Kennedy, MAES director.

Funds for Future Public Servants

William E. Kirwan (left) and Jonathan Wilkenteld, chair of Government and Politics (center), accept a
$3,200 check from Prince George's County Executive, Parrls Glendening from the executive's
Education Support Advisory Council for the Conley Dillon Memorial Award, a University of Maryland
foundation established to provide scholarships to doctoral students of public policy. County
Executive Glendening Is also an associate professor in Government and Politics at the university.
