Hearings to Be Held on
Faculty Governance

The campus community will
have a chance to air its opinions on
restructuring the governance pro-
cess of the university at a series of
special hearings scheduled for
three days in late November.

The meetings which will be held
in the Maryland Room of Marie
Mount Hall on the afternoons of
Nov. 26, Nov. 27, and Nov. 28, will
provide an opportunity for those
interested in expanding faculty par-
ticipation in governing the univer-
sity to offer their reactions, opin-
ions and suggestions concerning a
set of recommendations for restruc-
turing the governing process at the
campus, college and departmental
levels of the university.

The recommendations are con-
tained in a report, "Strengthening A
Partnership: Shared Governance at
the University of Maryland College
Park." The recommendations con-
tained in the report will be con-
sidered by the Campus Senate after
the faculty hearings are concluded.

The report was developed by a
blue ribbon committee appointed
by President William E. Kirwan
and the Campus Senate in August

1989. The committee, chaired by
Robert Birnbaum, Center for Post-
secondary Governance and
Finance, was asked to compare the
role and function of College Park's
faculty in the governance of this
institution to the faculty of other
institutions, including the univer-
sity's aspirational peers, UC
Berkeley, UCLA, University of
Michigan, University of Minnesota-
Twin Cities, and the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Upon completion of the commit-
tee's report, the Campus Senate ap-
pointed a Task Force on Campus
Governance to conduct a faculty
review of recommendations 12-33
which propose changes in gover-
nance at the campus, college and
departmental level. The current
hearings will focus on that set of
recommendations only, with
recommendations 1-12, directed at
restructuring the Campus Senate,
to be considered at a different time.
Another task force headed by
architecture professor Ralph Ben-
nett has been charged with study-
ing recommendations 1-12 relating
to possible changes in the Campus

Senate.

In addition to the November
hearings, the Task Force on Faculty
Governance will also meet with the
Council of Deans and the Council
of Chairs, says chair Andrew D.
Wolvin, Speech Communication.

Other members of the task force
include Marvin Breslow, History;
Theresa Colletti, English; |acob
Goldhaber, Graduate School /Math-
ematics; Judith Hallett, Classics;
and Martin Johnson, Curriculum
and Instruction.

The report states that, while
there have been significant im-
provements in faculty governance
at UMCP in recent years, more
must be done if the university is to
enter the ranks of top research uni-
versities. Supporting the principle

University to Host Hungarian
Business Managers and Entrepreneurs

Fifteen Hungarian economists,
managers, finance and trade mini-
stry officials and entrepreneurs will
spend three days on the College
Park campus for meetings and di-
alogue with members of the uni-
versity community.

The Hungarians are participants
in a pilot Eastern European Man-
agement Internship Program spon-
sored by the Baltimore-based
American Center for International
Leadership (ACIL). Their stay at
College Park will extend from Nov.
12 to 14.

The Michael Dingman Center
for Entrepreneurship, the Center
for the Study of Post-Communist
Societies, the Center for Global
Change, the College of Business
and Management, the Center for
International Business Education
and Research, and the Engineering
Research Center's Technology Ad-
vancement Program all will take
part in the university dialogue with
the international visitors.

The Hungarian delegation ar-
rived in Maryland November 10
and will remain in the state
through November 21. In addition
to their three days at College Park,
the delegates will take part in a
week-long internship experience
with several Prince George's Coun-
ty businesses.

President William E. Kirwan
will formally welcome the group

on behalf of the university and lead
a discussion of the Maryland East
European People's Program and
how it might relate to the economic
transition underway in Eastern
Europe.

The delegates also will meet in
Baltimore with the Harvard Club
of Maryland to discuss Hungary's
changing political, economic and
social climate and to explore op-
portunities for cooperation with
Maryland businesses.

ACIL says it will use this pilot
experience to further refine the or-
ganization's plans to bring 60 en-
trepreneurs and managers from
five Eastern European countries to
leading Maryland companies and
state agencies for internships last-
ing three months. The program will
begin officially in January.

Interns in 1991 will come from
the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia,
Yugoslavia, Poland and Hungary.

Before departing for Hungary
on November 21, the delegation
will return to the College Park
campus to meet with Marcus Fran-
da, director of International Affairs,
for an informal de-briefing, and
with Leslie Palmer, director of the
Maryland English Institute, and
staff for a briefing about the Mary-
land English programs for
Hungarian teachers.

Campus Memorial Planned for Margaret Brent

Margaret Brent {c.l601-c,167D,
one of the State of Maryland's
founders, will be re -remembered at
College Park through the team ef-
forts of several members of the uni-
versity community.

A group of College Park faculty
and staff that includes architects,
planners and scholars is developing
plans for a memorial amphitheater
dedicated to Brent. It will be built
on a slope of the south side of the
Language House (formerly St.
Mary's Hall).

Groundbreaking of the project is
scheduled for March in connection
with Women's History Month, says
Virginia Beauchamp, one of those
spearheading the campaign to gain
recognition for a noted figure in
Maryland's Colonial history.
Marion Weiss, assistant professor
of architecture who is among the
planners, of the memorial, is the
project's architect.

Brent was perhaps the most
prominent woman during the early
years of British settlement in Mary-
land, according to Beauchamp, re-
tired associate professor of English.
A major landholder, Brent was an
influential figure in governing the
colony during its early years, she
adds.

In creating a memorial for Brent,
the university will honor the mem-
ory of a person who once held a
prominent place in the center of the
campus.

The building that now houses
the Language House was named
for Brent when it was first dedi-
cated in 1932, says Beauchamp. The
building, the first women's dormi-
tory at the university, was renamed
St. Mary's Hall in the 1950s when
all university residence halls were
given the names of counties and
towns in the state. The building

Redish Wins Physics Software Competition

A physics education program
called Orbits, developed by Edward
Redish, professor of physics, was a
first place winner recently in the
first annual software contest spon-
sored by the magazine, Computers
in Physics . Redish also received
honorable mentions for two other
programs, Thermo, and Muppet Util-
ities, All three programs demon-
strate innovation in software devel-
opment for physics education.

Redish's awards will be present-
ed at the January 1991 meeting of
the American Association of Phys-
ics Teachers in San Antonio and
will include a certificate and a $500
award.

Orbits, developed by Redish and
graduate students James Harold
and Ken Hennacy, won first place
in the category of simulation. This
program simulates the motions of
two massive bodies moving under
the influence of gravity and plots
their orbits. Up to five lighter bod-
ies can be included in a scenario
and the lighter bodies move in the
fields of the two heavy bodies, but
the gravitational interactions be-
tween the lighter bodies are
ignored. This allows the study of
the orbital motions of planets, rock-
ets and stars under a wide variety
of circumstances.

The program is designed to be
sufficiently flexible in complexity to
be a valuable learning tool to users
of different physics skill levels.

Redish's Thermo program, which
received an honorable mention in
the simulation category of the con-
test, permits users to simulate the
motion of up to 1000 particles in a
two-dimensional box under a vari-
ety of circumstances. Options in the
program include external gravita-
tional, electric, or magnetic fields,
and friction between particles and
containing walls. Histograms show-
ing, for example, the evolution of
particle velocity distribution assist
the student in gaining some feeling
for the fluctuations. Redish wrote
this program with graduate stu-
dents G. Norkus and James Harold.

Muppet Utilities, developed by
Redish and former College Park
physics professor jack Wilson,
received an honorable mention in
the category of utility programs.
This program is made up of a set
of PASCAL subroutines that allow
users to develop programs with
interactive data screens and graph-
ics. The goal is to let programmers
concentrate on physics and spend
less time with programming
details.

Campus Community Invited to
Discuss Faculty Governance

ci tn I in i ted from page I

of "shared governance," which
recognizes that faculty should play
a major role in the decision-making
process at all levels, it states that
shared governance is based on the
belief that "institutional interests
are best served through faculty
consultation, administrative ac-
countability, and full disclosure,
rather than through limiting ad-
ministrative discretion. It involves
faculty in the selection of their ad-
ministrative leaders, and requires
that faculty assume greater respon-
sibility for managing the life of the
campus," the report concludes.

In particular, the report states
that faculty on the campus level, in
general, are highly supportive of
the university's president, but are
not otherwise satisfied with gover-
nance. It recommends the form-
ation of a Faculty Senate but sug-
gests that if the current Campus
Senate is retained, that faculty
representation be increased. Non-
Senate campus committees should
normally be chaired by faculty and
should be made up of at least two-
thirds faculty membership, it

recommends. Other proposals call
for a small, directly-elected faculty
advisory committee to the presi-
dent to be appointed, as well as
faculty advisory committees to
other vice presidents and the ad-
ministrative deans.

It finds that faculty are least sat-
isfied with their role and least sup-
portive of administrative leadership
at the college level. It recommends
that each college have a faculty ad-
visory committee to consult with
the dean, that faculty should play a
major role in selecting deans, that
deans should be appointed for
fixed and renewable terms, and
that recommendations of a faculty
committee be a part of the reap-
pointment process.

On the departmental level, it
finds that faculty governance is ad-
equate in some cases, and inade-
quate in others. It recommends the
formation of faculty advisory com-
mittees in departments, that faculty
play a major role in selecting chairs
and that chairs be appointed and
reappointed to fixed and renewable
terms. It also advocates that depart-
mental faculty develop and en-
dorse a Plan of Organization to cre-

ate internal committee structures
and define procedures for the con-
duct of department business.

The meetings at Marie Mount
Hall will be held by .colleges, on
the following schedule:

Monday, Nov. 26 1-3 p.m: Col-
leges of CMPS, Agriculture, Life
Sciences, and Human Ecology.

Tuesday, Nov. 27 1:30-3:30 p.m:
Colleges of A&H, Education, and
Behavioral and Social Sciences.

Wed., Nov. 28 l:30-3.*30 p.m:
Schools of Architecture and Public
Affairs; Colleges of Engineering,
Health and Human Performance,
Journalism, and CLIS.

Those who would like to pre-
sent a statement at a hearing
should call Kathleen Smith, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Campus
Senate, at 405-5804, to schedule a
time. Written comments are also
welcome prior to or at the meeting,
says Wolvin, who invites all mem-
bers of the campus community to
attend one of the hearings and par-
ticipate in the discussion.

Applications Due for Summer Institute on Gender and Race

Applications for next summer's
faculty development institute,
"Thinking about Gender and Race,"
are now available from the Curri-
culum Transformation Project of-
fice. All full-time tenured and ten-
ure-track faculty are eligible, as are
faculty on "permanent rehire."

The 1991 institute will be the
third in a series of summer semi-
nars designed to help faculty in-
clude the new scholarship on wo-
men, gender and race in their un-
dergraduate courses. Participating
faculty will spend two salaried
months reading and discussing the
new scholarship on gender and
race and examining its implications
for teaching. The seminar will fo-
cus on theory about the intersec-

tions of gender and race as social
constructs; scholarship on the ex-
periences of women of diverse
backgrounds, origins, and affilia-
tions; and the pedagogical challen-
ges of incorporating multicutural
and gender diversity into the class-
room.

The 1991 institute will be co-led
by the project's director, Deborah
Rosen felt (Women's Studies), and
by Rhonda Williams (Afro-Ameri-
can Studies and Economics).

The 1991 institute will be the
last one fully funded by the cam-
pus as one measure to implement
the recommendations of the 1988
report, "Making a Difference for
Women" (the Greer Report). The
first institute in 1989 was conduct-

ed by Betty Schmitz, special assis-
tant to the president. Thirty-one
faculty from across the campus
have participated in the project so
far.

Members of the project's selec-
tion committee are: Stephen Brush
(Hist./IPST), Richard Hula (Urb.
Stud.), Sally Koblinsky (Fam. and
Comm. Dev.), Ronald O'Leary
(Theatre), Carl a Peterson (Com p.
Lit.), Harriet Pressser {Sac),
Donald Vannoy (Civil Engin.), and
Rhonda Williams.

Fourteen faculty participants
will be selected for the 1991 sum-
mer program. Deadline for applica-
tions is Nov. 30. Call Rosen felt at
405-6882 for information or
applications.

Marcia Herndon:
Blending Music and Culture

Professor of music Marcia
Herndon specializes in ethno-
musicology, the study of music as
it applies to human life.

"We focus on music and go to
whatever realms it leads us: reli-
gion, law, psychology. It's an inter-
disciplinary study," she says in a
low-pitched, Southern accent.

In that case, Herndon' s back-
ground alone makes her an expert.
She received a bachelor's degree in
music history and a master's in
German from Tulane University,
then went on to earn a Ph.D., pas-
sing doctoral-level exams in music-
ology, ethnomusicology, folklore,
linguistics, and physical, cultural,
and social anthropology.

She then packed up her degrees
and moved further west, where she
traded her role as student for one
as university instructor. She
became an assistant professor of
anthropology and folklore at the
University of Texas at Austin
where she taught "Anthropology of
Music" and introduced a course
called "The Culture of Country
Music" after discovering, through
one of her student's assignments,
its widespread popularity among
Texans.

"There were 71 different places
to hear live country music [in the
Austin area I during any given
week!"

Before joining the College Park
faculty, she was an associate pro-
fessor of ethnic studies at the
University of California, Berkeley.
She still has ties to the West Coast
as one of the executive directors of
the Music Research Institute in
Richmond, California. The Center
focuses on "publication and applied
ethnomusicology," she explains —
not on providing ammunition for
the Tipper Gore crew.

"We get calls all the time from
people wanting us to prove that
rock music will cause a person to
commit rape or murder," sighs the
49 -year-old.

Herndon also has enjoyed a
distinguished career as an author.
It began over a decade ago with
Hard Core Ethnology; her recently
published eighth book bears a
more conventional title, Music,
Gender, and Culture.

At least some of the roots of
Herndon's wide-ranging musical
interests can be traced to her fam-
ily: one grandmother loved classi-
cal and religious music, a grand-
father regularly entertained mem-
bers of "The Grand Ole Opry." Her
family can also be credited with
another of Herndon's specialties:
Native American culture. The
daughter of two half Eastern
Cherokees, she grew up in the
mountains of North Carolina near a
reservation which was home to
some of her relatives, and has
maintained lifelong ties with the
tribe. She has studied with 11 dif-
ferent Cherokee healers, and_ is an
advisor to United Southeastern
Tribes, an alliance of Native

Marcia Herndon

Americans from seven states.

"Thev call me when they need a
Ph.D. to sit in on their meetings
and impress the B1A [Bureau of
Indian Affairs]," she says with a
shrug.

The thirst for knowledge
instilled during Herndon's youth
has taken her to some of the most
remote spots on the globe, but
there's one place she hasn't visited.

"My dream is to go to Mada-
gascar. I came this close to going in
1969," she says, leaning forward

intently to tell the story of how the
illness of the country's leader
prevented any visas from being
issued, jus! as -It.' was aboul to
receive one.

She rolls her eyes. "Oh well. I'll
get there someday." Maryland
students, who have much to learn
from this unique woman, should
hope that day doesn't come too
soon,

UM Bands to Present Twentieth Anniversary Concert

For the past nineteen years the University of Maryland bands
have been entertaining the College Park community with an an-
nual showcase concert. On Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Tawes
Theatre, a gala twentieth anniversary concert will feature the
talents of the Concert Band, the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, the
Jazz Ensemble and the Marching Band in a program that ranges
from the classics to contemporary jazz and gridiron spectaculars.
Tickets are $7 ($5 for seniors and students); call 405-5542 for info.

On the Road with Rhoda Levine

"During March and April last
year there was not one day I
wasn't on the train," she says with
a disbelieving laugh. "And I was
frequently on the same train with
the Guarneri Quartet, who were
doing the same thing I was."

The speaker is opera director
Rhoda Levine, and what she shares
with the Guarneri String Quartet is
not an addiction to train travel, but
the living of a dual existence, the
practicing of one's art in New York
City and elsewhere and the teach-
ing of it to students at College Park
and elsewhere.

A member of the music depart-
ment's adjunct faculty, Levine,
fresh from a directing triumph with
the New York City Opera of
Janacek's House of the Dead, is cur-
rently immersed in rehearsals for
the Maryland Opera Studio's twin
offering at the end of the month,
Martinu's Comedy on the Bridge and
Pasatieri's Maria Elena.

Both operas are mid-twentieth
century one-act compositions. Ac-
cording to Levine, Martinu's work

has to do with people in a wartime
crisis caught on a bridge — literally
up in the air — faced with the sud-
den need to confront one another
and the lies of their own lives.
Levine characterizes the Pasatieri
work, by contrast, as in the
Menotti, romantic — almost gothic-
— tradition, an opera about a wo-
man who gives up morality for an
obsession.

In addition to her directing ac-
tivities, Levine also teaches two
classes for the music department's
Maryland Opera Studio, one in
scene study, one in improvisational
acting. Her approach is the same
for all work with students: What
do you think? Win/ are you doing
this piece? Her goal is to have stu-
dents who can honor their own
emotions, think, and make their
own decisions and choices. "Edu-
cation is about students learning,
not teachers teaching," she says.

Levine grew up in New York,
the daughter of a politically active
family with a professor mother
(early childhood education) and a

Opera director Rhoda Levine (seated) talks with students In her class.

Early American History Conference
To Be Held Nov. 17

Experts in early American his-
tory will meet at College Park Sat-
urday, Nov. 17, for a multidiscipli-
nary conference on "Religion, Pop-
ular Culture and Material Life in
the Middle Colonies and the Upper
South, 1650-1800."

The conference is the second in
what is planned as a continuing
series of conferences on early
American history, says organizer
John McCusker, professor of his-
tory. The first, which dealt the ef-
fect of England's Glorious Revolu-
tion of 1688 on the American colon-
ies, was held in 1988.

The emphasis on early American
history, a period that extends from
the colonial period through the end
of the 18th century, results from
the work of a group of faculty
members within the Department of
History.

McCusker, James Henretta,
Emory Evans, Ronald Hoffman and

Alison Olson all specialize in the
study of the period. Through the
Maryland Colloquium on Earlv
American History, they host con-
ferences and seminars on topics in
the field.

Speakers at the Nov. 17 confer-
ence will discuss subjects that il-
lustrate how popular culture, reli-
gion and material life of the period
related to each other. Topics in-
clude gravestones, trade between
colonists and Indians, the life of
German-speaking colonists and a
museum project that resulted in
public funding for the exhumation
of a mammoth.

The event is co-sponsored by the
Department of History and the
Maryland Colloquium on Early
American History. For more infor-
mation call 405-4265.

career break came when the Italian
director Luchino Visconti asked
Levine to choreograph the third-act
ballet in a Spoleto Festival produc-
tion of La Traviata. After the critical
accolades came in, Visconti told her
she should be directing whole
operas, not just the dance se-
quences.

And direct operas she has.
Levine has directed in Belgium,
Scotland, France, for an extended
time in Holland with The Nether-
lands Opera, on television, and
more recently with the New York
City Opera. She also shares her
skills not only with College i J ark
students, but with students at
Curtis Institute of Music in Phila-
delphia and at the Banff Center for
the Arts each summer in Canada.
She has upcoming directing en-
gagements for Man of La Mancha in
Milwaukee, for the PeteT Brook
version of Carmen at Curtis, for
Leoncavallo's La Boheme at the
Opera Theater of St. Louis, for
Lucia di Lammermoor in Seattle and
for the revival of Anthony Davis'
opera about Malcolm X at New
York City Opera.

Levine is enthusiastic about the
opera program at College Park. "1
think the students here are great!"
she says. She speaks of "the won-
derful young accompanists" she
works with in rehearsal and clas-
ses, and the creativity of her stu-
dents, who create new operas in
her acting classes.

She came to teach at the univer-
sity three years ago at the invita-
tion of Opera Studio director and
acting music department chair
Leon Major. She speaks with ap-
proval of the atmosphere of free-
dom and relaxation he has created,
the sense of 'family' in the pro-
gram. "That Leon, I love the guy!"
she savs.

The opera double bill in Tawes
Recital Hall will be sung in Eng-
lish. Because Levine feels the audi-
ence should know as much as pos-
sible about what is happening on
stage, she supports the use of sur-
eties if the opera must be sung in a
foreign language.

The staging for the double pro-
duction will be very simple — chairs
and boxes — because Levine be-
lieves that what is central for stu-
dents is not landscape, but acting.
"How you behave is what indicates
landscape," she explains. She hopes
that audiences who come to Coin-
edy on the Bridge and Maria Elena
will find them "interesting,
thought-provoking— and mavbe be
touched by them in some wav that
makes one think about oneself. "

The operas will be performed in
Tawes Recital Hall on Nov. 30,
Dec. 6 and Dec. 8, all at 8 p.m. For
ticket information call 405-5548.

Ettenson Conducts Consumer
Studies in Eastern Bloc

Richard Ettenson

It may not take a special market-
ing effort to convince consumers in
the emerging market economies of
the East Bloc to "buy American."
In fact, they judge the quality and
prestige of American products to
be as high as that of West German
and Japanese goods.

This good news for American
companies comes from a ground-
breaking consumer study conduct-
ed this summer in Moscow, War-
saw and Budapest by Richard Et-
tenson, associate professor in the
Department of Textiles and
Consumer Economics of the Col-
lege of Human Ecology. At the in-
vitation of the Academy of Sciences
in the Soviet Union and Hungary,
and Warsaw University in Poland,
he studied East European consum-
ers to determine how a product's
brand name and country of origin
affect purchase decisions.

"Right now, consumers in these
countries, particularly the Soviet
Union, make purchase decisions
based on mere availability of
goods, but sometime in the near
future that won't be the case," Et-
tenson said. "There will be choices
and competition, and marketers in
the East Bloc, like their Western
counterparts, will need to have
sophisticated information to make
decisions about product branding,
place of manufacture and product
positioning."

Ettenson and his graduate stu-
dent Jim Friday are the first to con-
duct experimental studies of Soviet
and Eastern Bloc consumer deci-
sion-making, and are among the

first to demonstrate empirically
that U.S. goods are evaluated fav-
orably by these consumers.

Ettenson said it is particularly ex-
citing to find that, even though
they have had little, if any, first-
hand experience with U.S. prod-
ucts, Soviet and Eastern European
consumers evaluate them as favor-
ably as Japanese and West German
goods which have a strong pres-
ence in the Eastern Bloc.

"These results strongly suggest
that the U.S. has a tremendous op-
portunity to penetrate these virtual-
ly untapped markets," Ettenson
says. "U.S. marketers will have an
advantage if they position them-
selves early and well. And this re-
search provides a first glimpse to
help us understand how to do it,"
he adds.

Until recently, Ettenson notes,
no attempt has been made to un-
derstand consumer wants and
needs in the command economies
of the Eastern Bloc.

"In a Marxist centrally planned
economy, consumption traditional-
ly is viewed as a leak in the cycle
of production. Until now, all the
emphasis was on production and
virtually none was on consump-
tion," Ettenson says. "Only with the
shift to a market economy has
there been a need and an oppor-
tunity to study the decision behav-
ior of East Bloc consumers."

Ettenson was able to track the
relative importance of a range of
product attributes in consumers'
purchase evaluations by using a
methodology called conjoint analy-
sis. Rather than asking consumers
to describe their attitudes toward
products, this methodology pre-
sents consumers with a set of deci-
sion tasks in which they must
make purchase evaluations based
on information they are given
about the attributes of the items in
question.

He experimentally manipulated
descriptions of color televisions to
study the relative importance of
brand name, country of origin and
other product attributes: price, war-

ranty, type of tuner, speaker and
remote control. More than 300
adult, urban consumers partici-
pated in the study. The Western
brand names tested were Genera!
Electric, Sony and Philips for the
U.S., Japan and West Germany re-
spectively. Poland's Helios, Hun-
gary's Videoton and the Soviet
Union's Record brand names repre-
sented televisions from the Eastern
Bloc. Although analysis of data is
still in the preliminary stages, the
results indicate that, in general,
Eastern European consumers prefer
Western goods over those made in
Eastern Europe. In the absence of
Western goods, Hungarians and
Poles prefer goods made in their
own countries, but Soviets rank
their own products as least
desirable.

"Beyond these generalizations,
it's misleading to characterize all
East European consumers as simi-
lar. When it comes to buying a tele-
vision, Hungarians based their de-
cisions on product features.
Consumers in Poland and the
Soviet Union, on the other hand,
considered where the set was made
as the most important criterion by
far," Ettenson said.

Last winter Ettenson and his col-
league Janet Wagner, associate pro-
fessor of textiles and consumer eco-
nomics, used conjoint analysis in
similar consumer studies conduct-
ed in the People's Republic of
China. They found that Chinese
consumers were more inclined than
their American counterparts to pur-
chase foreign -made goods.

When the final results of Etten-
son's research are available, they
wit! provide information to help
U.S. multinational firms reduce the
risk of venturing into the Soviet
and Eastern European markets.

"Knowing whether to manufac-
ture products in Poland to sell to
Polisli consumers or to retain the
prestigL- o! something made over-
seas will help international market-
ers avoid costly mistakes," Ettenson
says.

Afro-American Studies Program
Awarded Upjohn Grant

The Afro-American Studies Pro-
gram has received a grant from the
W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employ-
ment Research to write a mono-
graph on trends in racial earnings
inequality over the past decades.

The monograph, "Racial Earn-
ings Inequality: An Analysis of
Contemporary Factors," will detail
the effects of six competing factors
on racial earnings differences.
Areas to be examined include: wel-
fare; the marginalization of black
males; educational attainment; the
exodus of the black middle class
from the inner city; the retrench-
ment on civil rights; and the

changing age composition of the
black population.

Data from the current popula-
tion survey will be used to estimate
earnings that, among other things,
account for changing family struc-
tures and the rise of black female-
headed families and increased la-
bor force drop-outs and declining
employment of inner-city youth.

The principal investigators are
Samuel L. Myers Jr., director of the
Afro-American Studies Program
and professor of economics, and
William A. Darity Jr., professor of
economics at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

President William E. Kirwan:

Diversity and Excellence for College Park

The following is excerpted
from the closing remarks made by
President William E. Kirwan at
the end of the 1990 Equity Confer-
ence on Oct. 19.

...Several people have mentioned
to me what an excellent keynote
address President Franklyn Jenifer
of Howard University gave this
morning. 1 regret that I was en
route back here from a meeting in
North Carolina and had to miss his
talk. For those of you who are not
aware of Dr. Jenifer's affiliation
with this campus, I want you to
know that he received his Ph.D. in
chemistry from College Park. We
are extremely proud of what this
distinguished alumnus has ac-
complished in higher education.

I understand that President
Jenifer issued a challenge to "stop
fixing the leaks in the boat and join
him and Howard University in
building a new ship. "His remark
reminds me of the Noah Principle,
which says: no more prizes for
predicting rain, prizes only for
building arks,

1 want to publicly state that we
at College Park are eager to join
our colleagues at Howard Univer-
sity to "build an ark." We, in fact,
can build on existing successful
collaboration through the LEAD
program, a summer enrichment
program for talented minority high
school students, and through the
new NSF ECSEL grant awarded to
a consortium of universities that
includes Howard University and
the University of Maryland at Col-
lege Park. This grant is specifically
aimed at cooperative efforts to in-
crease the participation of minor-
ities and women in engineering.

In preparing mv comments for
today, I could not help but think
about the progress we have made
as an institution toward our goals
of diversity for this campus. This
progress does not mean that we
have reason for complacency. In
fact, quite the contrary is true. For
example, the graduation rate of
African-Americans at College Park
is still distressingly low and the
actual numbers of African- Ameri-
can tenure-track faculty has not ris-
en as fast as we would like.
Nevertheless, progress is being
made here because of the commit-
ment and excellent work of people
from across the campus, many of
whom are in this room today.

...We have articulated a vision
for College Park as a place where
our efforts to build excellence are
inextricably linked to our efforts to
increase diversity. To achieve this
vision, we will have to create an
environment that attracts people of
different racial and cultural back-
grounds to join this community
and to develop their talents to the
fullest. This will require a campus
culture that is built not just on re-
spect for differences, but one that
celebrates these differences.

1 see the environment of major-

ity institutions, such as College
Park, as having three stages of de-
velopment. The first stage is the
environment of unicity. This is a
stage where, typically, the institu-
tional culture is totally dominated
by white males. Such a culture dis-
courages, indeed, stifles participa-
tion and contributions by other
groups.

Hue to initiatives such as affir-
mative action and Title IX, many
majority institutions have moved to
a second stage — a stage I call a di-
versity of environments. Institu-
tions in stage two have populations
that better reflect the richness of
our nation's culture and heritage.
In my view, College Park has ad-
vanced further than many institu-
tions through stage two.

This stage is clearly an improve-
ment over stage one, but it has ser-
ious limitations. Although a more
diverse population is accepted,
even expected, the culture still re-
quires a certain degree of assimila-
tion by minority groups. And, it
does not use fully its diversity as a
source of internal enrichment and
enhancement.

The third stage, which I believe
no university has yet achieved, is
what I call an environment for di-
versity. In this stage, a university
would come to see diversity not
just as a social goal, but as an op-
portunity for institutional advance-
ment, a condition to be prized and
nurtured.

A university that reaches the
third stage — -that creates an en-
vironment for diversity — will have,
in my view, an enormous advan-
tage over schools in stage two. Not
only will the learning environment
be enhanced, but being a member
of such a community will be — in
and of itself — a source of enrich-
ment. A school that achieves this
third stage will be nurtured and
strengthened because of its diver-
sity. It will become a magnet for
talented people and, most especial-
ly, a magnet for talented women
and minorities. With women and
minorities accounting for 80 per-
cent of the new entrants into the
workforce in the 1990s, imagine
what an advantage an institution in
stage three would have. But 1 do
not want to overemphasize the
competitive advantage of an envir-
onment for diversity. Such surely
will be a consequence. The real re-
wards, however, will be the estab-
lishment of a community where a
diverse body of students, faculty
and staff grow intellectually and
socially just by the mere act of be-
ing part of the community.

...How do we go about creating
an environment for diversity? It
will require much of all of us. At
the core, however, is the need to
develop a greater awareness to im-
pediments to diversity. We must
individually develop a mindset that
causes each of us to think how our
decisions and actions will affect
our goals for diversity. When we

put together workshops, panels
and programs, we must be careful
to draw upon the richness of our
entire community. When we speak
and write for public consumption,
we need to be mindful of the effect
our words will have on others.
When we make decisions about
resource allocations, we must think
through how these decisions will
affect our commitment to diversity.
When we meet to discuss issues of
diversity, we must learn to speak
openly and honestly about our con-
cerns, hopes and aspirations.

...What are our next steps? 1 am
charging the Equity Council to take
the ideas generated today and de-
velop them into recommendations
for specific actions. I plan to hold a
retreat this January for the vice
presidents, deans, and others. We
will use the recommendations de-
veloped by the Equity Council to
formulate an agenda for action.

In establishing this agenda, we
must be mindful of the goals foT
diversity expressed in our Enhance-
ment Plan. We must extend the
goals to individual units and devel-
op a system of accountability to
monitor progress towards these
goals.

This afternoon, I have been part
of a wonderful experience. I have
witnessed the coming together of
people from different racial and
ethnic backgrounds in an open and
mutually supportive way with the
common goal of making this a
more diverse and better institution.
Let us go forth with a united com-
mitment to discuss today's experi-
ence with our colleagues who are
not here. And, let us go forth with
a renewed commitment to realize
our common dreams of diversity
and excellence for College Park.
