University's International House
Will Open in the Fall

Dorchester International House,
a residence hall and multicultural
center, will open its doors to the
University of Maryland at College
Park community this fall,

"Living with a diverse group
helps students develop understand-
ing and appreciation for global and
multi-cultural issues," says Susan
Gate, International Program Speci-
alist with International Education
Services and the International
House's program coordinator.

The International House is the
result of several years of work by
such organizations as the Learning
Assistance Service, the Maryland
English Institute, International Edu-
cation Services, Resident Life, the
Office of International Affairs, the
Office of Human Relations, Student
Affairs Office, the Language House,
International Referral Network, and
Administrative Operations.
Women and men from over 140
countries are eligible to live in the
newly-renovated residence hall.
There will be a mix of American and
international students.

Located in the center of campus
next to St, Mary's Hall Language
Htjuse, the co-ed residence hall will
house approximately 163 under-
graduate students in traditional
dormitory rooms.

40-HOUR WORK
WEEK ON HOLD

At a press conference on Feb. 6
Gov. William Donald Schaefer
made a surprise announcement
that caught even his staff off
guard. He announced
that his Executive Order calling
for a 40-hour work week would
be rescinded Immediately.

Although he left open the
possibility that It could be Im-
posed as of July 1, he indicated
that the state would be consider-
ing other options.

Outlook will keep you informed
on further developments.

Unlike the Language House, how-
ever, the focus is not on language
acquisition; foreign language ability
is not required to live in the Inter-
national House, says Gate.

"With its mixture of American
and international students, the
International House will provide an
environment which will foster un-
derstanding, cooperation and
friendship among its residents who
represent a wide range of ethnic and
cultural backgrounds," says Gate,

Internationa! I louse residents
will work with Gate, the interna-
tional programmer, and staff and
faculty to develop and implement
educational and social programs
such as international speakers, field
trips, coffee hours and cultural
theme nights.

Short-term resident faculty and
international visitors will add to the
diversity of the community and the
large, newly-renovated public areas
will encourage informal exchange
between students and the campus
and local community, says Gate.

Like other specialty halls that
have more than the usual expecta-
tion from their residents. Interna-
tional House will have an admission
committee to screen applicants and
admit only those students likely to
take advantage of rich opportunities

Senate Hears Good News About
Undergraduate Education

By Kathryn Mohrman,

Dean of Undergraduate Studies

On Feb. 7, Kathryn Mohrimn ad-
dressed the Campus Senate. The fol-
Ivxinng is the text of her remarks.

While all the bad news about the
budget is discouraging, we can take
heart in some good news about
undergraduate education at GoUege
Park. We have evidence on this
campus that a research university
can strengthen its scholarly
productivity, recruit outstanding
faculty, and also improve its educa-
tional programs. Let me give you
eleven facts that make me optimis-
tic. We liave much to be proud of in
our efforts to enhance academic
programs on campus.

Fact #1: More than 70 percent of
all GORE courses this year are
being taught by tenured and ten-
ure track faculty. The biggest issue
in undergraduate education is the
implementation of the general edu-
cation program called for in the
Pease Report. This year's first year
students are required to enroll in
the GORE program (Core Liberal

Arts and Sciences Studies), a signif-
icant improvement over the USP
program. The prevailing wisdom
about general education is that most
of the courses are taught by
graduate students and adjunct fac-
ulty; the reality is that the vast maj-
ority are being taught by full-time
tenure track faculty. And, in addi-
tion to contact with our regular
professors, freshmen are in a cur-
riculum that empliasizes writing,
discussion, essay exams, and other
methods of encouraging active
learning by undergraduates.

Fact #2: The average size of
Distributive Studies courses in the
CORE programs for fall 1990 was
27.4 students per section. Another
piece of campus mythology is that
all freshman classes are huge. Not
so. We are serious about giving
entering students a chance to know
their professors, and smaller classes
are one of the best ways to ensure
that personal contact. This is not to
say, however, that the freshman
experience looks like Swarthmore
College. We still have large lecture

Nominations Due for Outstanding
Service to Commuters Award

The Office of Commuter Affairs seeks nominations for its 1991
Award for Outstanding Service to Commuter Students. The annual
award recognizes an undergraduate or graduate student who has
made outstanding contributions to the quaHty of life for College
Park commuter students during the academic year. Nomination

U.S. -Soviet Project for Women in
International Security Initiated

In an effort to seek out Soviet
women specializing in international
security, the Center for International
Security Studies at Maryland's
program on Women In International
Security (WHS) sent an eight-
woman delegation to Moscow last
December.

The group met with scholars at
the Soviet Institutes of Ethnogra-
phy, U.S.A. and Canada, State and
Law, and World Economy and In-
ternational Relations, as well as
with experts from the newly organ-
ized Committee of Soviet Women
and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They also sponsored a day-long
workshop on the role of women in
international relations that involved
prominent women leaders from a
wide spectrum of Soviet profes-
sional life.

The project emerged from the
concern of WHS president Catherine
Kelleher and Soviet scholar Gale
Lapidus of the University of
California at Berkeley that, while
gla<i>wsl had significantly expanded
contacts between American and
Soviet experts on international

security issues, women rarely were
included on Soviet delegations or at
seminars or conferences. They
began to look for ways to identify
qualified Soviet women and to en-
courage them to participate in new-
ly arising opportunities for research
travel and exchange.

Their efforts converged with
those of Rose Gottemoeller, a Rand
Corporation researcher specializing
in Soviet miUtary policy. She and
other American women working on
Soviet Issues had planned a group
research trip to demonstrate to the
Soviets the high-level involvement
of women in security issues.

With a $17,300 grant to WHS
from the John D, and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation, the two
groups became the WHS- U.S. -Soviet
Project. In addition to increasing
contacts with Soviet women
scholars, the project aimed to
enlarge mutual research opportun-
ities for women and increase their
access to the research and policy
communities.

Frances Burwell, WHS executive
director, says the delegation iden-

tified scores of outstanding Soviet
women scholars and met personally
with more than 80 of them.
However, she adds, "Soviet women
made it clear that serious barriers
remained before them. The eco-
nomic reforms have made life dif-
ficult for all Soviet scholars by
sharply cutting back funding for
research institutes. Women u,sually
hold lower ranking positions, and
so their research assignments often
reflect secondary approaches to the
study of peace and security."

Women scholars also carry an
extra burden, Burwell notes. "They
are the ones who stand in line at the
stores; they are the ones responsible
for all household chores and family
maintenance."

WHS plans a number of follow-
up activities, among them a dedicat-
ed information exchange, an effort
to assist Soviet scholars in present-
ing and publishing papers in the
U.S., and a continuing program to
involve Soviets in WHS outreach,
including the possible founding of a
WHS chapter in Moscow,

Comment on the 'Pay Reduction Plan'

To the Editor of Outlook:

Why should we call Governor
Schaefer's first Executive Order of
1991 (#1.01.91) the Mandate for a 40-
hour Work Week? The so-called "40-
hour week" is a neat exercise in
newspeak mystification which pulls
attention away from the gross in-
equities of this Order and tend to
make those of us who are opposed
to it sound like knee-jerk wallers
and complainers, particularly to
those in Annapolis who write off
the College Park campus as one big
featherbed.

Such is the power of language! A
"40-hour work week" sounds like an
equitable adjustment responding
sensibly to the budget crisis pre-

cisely because it glides over who
will hear the burden of this and
how. 1 propose instead calling this
the "Elective Pay Reduction Plan."
Now that comes a bit closer to accu-
rately naming what's at issue here.
One thousand nine hundred and
ten non-hourly employees of
the College Park Campus are being
given five weeks notice that their
hourly wage is being reduced by
more than 1 1 percent. No less than
82 percent of those who will be
inequitably dunned by this pay
reduction plan are women! And all
of this to accomplish what? Even
the purported budget savings,
which might look OK on an
accountant's ledger sheet, are being

Snow Emergencies:
Advice from Physical

Although it's been a warm win-
ter so far, there still could be some
unpleasant winter storm surprises
in store for our area. The Depart-
ment of Physical Plant would like
you to be aware of the following:

•If the university is officially
closed because of weather, do not
come to campus unless you are
designated by your department as
"Essential Personnel." When the
campus is closed, it is likely that its
roads and sidewalks are unsafe or
impassable, and car traffic hinders
snow removal. If you are an essen-
tial employee, note that priority is
given to clearing lots 1, 11 a, VI, Kl
and G3, The lower levels of the
parking garages are also available.

• I^f you notice unsanded or un-
salted icv patches after a storm, call
405-2222 or 405-3320 and crews will
be dispatched as soon as possible to

Plant

take care of them.

•Be careful. The first three or
four days after a snowfall are typi-
cally the most treacherous because
as your confidence returns, you are
not as alert to icy patches underfoot.
Don't take shortcuts in icy weather.

•Expect fewer available parking
spaces in your lot after a heavy
snowfall. Hauling snow away is
costly and beyond the campus'
budget for snow removal.

Physical Plant is responsible for
some 160 acres of parking lots, 1 1
miles of roads, 23 miles of sidewalks
and several thousand exterior steps
on the College Park campus. It'a big
job, but with tons of sand, salt and
de-icer stockpiled — and the
cooperation of the campus
community — they hope to be able to
handle most winter weather condi-
tions.

seriously challenged by people

more savvy in these matters than I am.

Although 1 commend the uni-
versity administrators for their at-
tempts to soften this blow, their
actions arc largely an exercise in
frustration since the regent's Jan. 24
rubber-stamp approval of the gov-
ernor's Order leave them with very
little room to maneuver.

courses in CORE, but they ail have
discussion or laboratory sections.
And many of our general education
courses, especially ones that involve
extensive writing, have fewer than
the average number of students. We
alt realize, of course, that our
budget problems may require us to
rethink issues of class size; the
Senate General Education
Committee is doing just that.

Fact #3: The Fall 1990 course
availability situation was signifi-
cantly better than ever before. A
year ago The Battimorc Sun was tak-
ing us to task for the problems un-
dergraduates faced in getting the
courses they needed and wanted. In
response, the campus alkKated
more than $1 million (in a difficult
budget year) to increase the number
of seats in both Distributive and
Advanced Studies courses. With a
great deal of thought and effort by a
number of departments and
colleges, the campus provided
thousands of seats over the origin-
ally planned offerings. As a result,
summer orientation was the
smoothest ever; freshmen even at
the end of the registration period
had good courses from which to
choose. Not every student had a
perfect curriculum, but he or she
could make real choices rather than
simply fill out the schedule. For the
first time, we could expect students
io plmi their general education
program rather than merely fulfill
requirements. While budget cuts
will inevitably erode some of these
gains, departments and colleges are
working hard to maintain some of
our progress on course availability.

Fact #4 Our freshmen class
continues to improve. In 1980, the
average SAT score for English and
Math combined was 81 points above
the national average; in 1990
College Park freshmen scored 1 87
points above the national average.
This .statistic demonstrates our ris-
ing academic standards as well as
our growing appeal to high quality
students in Maryland and other
states.

Fact #5: Our transfers are im-
proving, too. In the fall of 1987, the
admissions office considered any
student with a 2.0 GPA; today a
transfer applicant must have a min-
imum 2.7 GPA to be eligible. And in
fact the Fall 1990 transfers had an
average 2.97 GPA in their prior
college courses.

Fact #6: Almost 32 percent of our
fiist year students are persons of
color. We are proud of the growing
diversity of our student body — a
critical factor in achieving the goal
of being a multi-culturak multi-
racial community. The world of the
future will be increasingly diverse
and we at College Park are in the
forefront of educating the leaders of
all segments of that society.

Fact #7: We now have 148 Ben-
jamin Banneker and Francis Scott
Key Scholarship students on cam-
pus under our enhanced merit
scholarship program. Their creden-
tials are steadily increasing. Since
the entering class of fall 1988, SAT
scores have increased 35 points for
the Banneker scholars and 28 points
for the Key scholars. More and more
of the top students are accepting our
scholarship offer; yield rates for the
fall 1990 class rose to 77 percent for
the Banneker group and to 60
percent for the Key group. And
once they come, they stay. All of the
scholars in this new program last
year registered and returned for
classes this fall

Fact #8: Entering honors stu-
dents are the most diverse ever. Of
the students participating in honors
orientation this summer, 27 percent
were students of color. These high
ability students included 10 percent
African American, 14 percent Asian
American, and 3 percent Latinos.
The University Honors Program is
clearly not the province only of
middle class white students from
the suburbs.

Fact #9: The freshmen taking
Honors 100 will contribute 2,6000
hours of community service this
year. A new addition to the honors
curriculum this fall is Honors 100
"Freshman Honors Colloquium." In
addition to more traditional
readings and discussions, all 265
students in the course are expected
to do at least 10 hours each of vol-
unteer service in the university or
the community. We believe that
from those to whom much has been
given, much also shall be expected.

Fact #10: This past summer, all
undecided and pre-business stu-
dents received freshman advising
from faculty advisors. The 1,500-
plus students assigned to the Un-
dergraduate Advising Center re-
ceived the best kind of advising —
close contact with a faculty member.
Undecided students in particular
need guidance as they begin their
academic careers. For the first time
ever, at! these students were
assisted at summer orientation by
an advising team comprised of a
faculty member, a trained graduate
student, and an undergraduate ori-
entation advisor. Each member of
the team played a vital role — the
faculty member provided wisdom,
perspective and mentoring; the
graduate student knew the rules
and regulations of the university;
and the undergraduate suppUed a
peer perspective. And each of the 23
faculty members participating in
summer orientation is personally
advising 15 of these freshmen this
year. We need the continuing co-
operation of faculty to assist the
undecided students most in need of
faculty advising.

Fact #11: More than 450 faculty
members and teaching assistants

have participated in campus clim-
ate workshops over the last six
months. If we are to make this a
welcoming community for students
from many backgrounds, we need
to act according to our beliefs. Ad-
ministered from the Human Rela-
tions Office, the campus climate
program has offered training to fac-
ulty, staff, and graduate assistants
on ways to work effectively with the
growing diversity of our faculty and
student body. All too often,
individuals inadvertently offend
others of different cultural
backgrounds because of insensitiv-
ity and thoughtlessness. Campus
climate workshops in doz.ens of
units have provided practical sug-
gestions for improving life at Col-
lege Park for everyone,

Maryland is a national leader in
strengthening the undergraduate
mission in the context of the re-
search university. Some of my facts
were the result of enhancement
funds, and they will obviously be
scaled back in the new financial
environment. But we can continue
the others that don't cost a lot of
money. 1 believe we have much to
make us proud. So the next time the
budget news gets you down,
remember that good things are
happening^and will continue to
happen — at College Park.

Jankowski Found Plenty of Action
During 20-Year Career at College Park

Leonard B. Jankowski, director of
the Department of Campus Parking,
says he works in 2(l-year cycles. So,
having given a few months more
than his standard to College Park,
his career here will come to a close
later this month.

jankowski joined the university
community in 1970 to head the
campus police force as assistant
director of public safety. Fresh from
20 years as a counter-intelligence
officer for the U.S. Army and a
veteran of service in Korea and
Vietnam, the former lieutenant
colonel anticipated a second career
quieter than the first.

"When [ left for work on my first
day nt the uni\'ersity, a Monday
morning, I told my wife that I'd be
home by six, 1 figured there
wouldn't be too much happening to
keep a person in the office late,"
Jankowski savs.

The estimate of working hours
was a bit off, (lis first day on the job
lasted more than 36 hours.

On that day, March 23, 1970,
87 persons occupied the Skinner
Building as part of a protest against
U.S. military involvement in Viet-
nam. "1 didn't even know one build-
ing from another," he says.

However, jankowski's unfamili-
aritv with the campus was not a
particular problem during the inci-
dent. His role in such a matter was
destined to be limited, regardless of
experience.

In 1970, the campus police force
was essentially a unit of security
guards who were required to call
upon the state police in times of
emergency. Jankowski had been
hired mainly to coordinate training
and recruitment programs designed
to upgrade the force. College Park
was then part of a national
movement to create more profes-
sional police forces on university
campuses.

The incident at the Skinner
Building, and other crises later in
the year, further illustrated the need
for a highly trained police force
located at the university. By 1975,
through Jankowski's efforts, the
force had more than doubled, was
professionally trained, and held
jurisdiction over the campus.

In 1980, Jankowski switched jobs,
but it was not a transfer to quieter
pastures. He became the
university's parking coordinator.

When the director of the then-
Motor Vehicle Administration be-
came ill in July 1980, Jankowski was
appointed as acting director.
In May 1981, he was installed as
director.

Having left the police depart-
ment in good order, Jankowski
welcomed the new challenge.

"I'm a roamer, I like new things. I
saw parking as a tremendous ad-
ministrative challenge," he says.
"At that time we were anticipating
big lasses of parking space due to

const njction. Innovative techniques
were going to be needed to deal
with the resulting problems."

Parking lots indeed did become
construction sites, and jankowski
became a visible, if often marked,
man on campus.

"One of my first 'sins' in the eyes
of a lot of people was the intro-
duction of faculty/staff parking
fees," Jankowski says.

Within a year of taking control of
the department, Jankowski pro-
posed a first-ever annual parking
fee of $15 for facultv and staff. The
cost of redesigning lots to cover
construction losses forced the in-
crease, he says. The alternative was
to hike the parking fees of students
into the stratosphere, an idea he
rejected.

An acclaimed friend of students
on that occasion, at other times
Jankowski was the butt of student
complaints — -especially during the
first three weeks of fall semester
when the demand on student spaces
is invariably highest,

"Parking, unfortunately, has be-
come less convenient on campus in
the last ten years. As we've lost
spaces at the center of the campus,
we've added them at the perime-
ters," he explains.

Jankowski prides himself on the
fact that parking spaces, though not
always the most convenient, have
always been available — often
through creative reconfigurations of
parking lots during summer ses-
sions. His evidence of available
parking: he's never lost the standing
challenge that, at any time, he could
take a student to an empty space
somewhere on the campus.

Parking is one of those areas that
sometimes seem synonymous with
trouble, but Jankowski is not one to
dwell on past conflicts. Instead, he
emphasizes recent changes in the
parking program that have made
life easier for university commuters.
The transition to registration by
mail has spared students long waits
in line outside the parking offices
each fall, he says.

With its recent switch to hanging
permits, the department registers
individual drivers rather than their
vehicles. The move has reduced
parking lot traffic and offered the
opportunity for savings to commut-
ers with more than one car, he says.

The appointment of "parking
coordinators" in departments and
offices has increased communica-
tion between his department and
the rest of the campus community.
The program helps keep the parking
staff abreast of the special needs and
concerns of individual departments
and makes it easier to distribute in-
formation about the parking system,
he says.

As Jankowski looks forward to
his next "20-year cycle," in which he
plans to do some technical writing
and consulting as well as "slow

Leonard B. Jankowski

down a bit," he will remember Col-
lege Park warmly.

"1 had a good time, and 1 grew a
lot. Some might think that a man in
his forties doesn't have much room
to grow, but the students keep you
sharp. I always found it enjoyable
when I had a chance to talk with
students. Every encounter was a
learning experience, for myself —
and I hope for them too," jankowski
says.

Drury Bagwell, assistant vice presi-
dent of student affairs, is reviewing
candidates to succeed Leonard B.
Jankowski as Director of Campus
Parking, Jankowski will retire at the
end of February after 20 years with
the university.

The position is being advertised
nationally, and the committee's goal
is to appoint a new director by late
spring or early summer.

The Director tif Campus Parking
oversees operation of the more than
16,000 parking spaces on campus.
The department includes 35 full-
time and 33-40 part-time employees.

The search committee includes
representatives from the College of
Business and Management, Campus
Dining Services, Campus Police,

Historian Speaks to Maryland
Legislators about Carroll Papers

As most College Park faculty
members w/ere tending to their first
classes of the spring semester,
Ronald Hoffman lectured to a Spe-
cial Joint Session of the Maryland
Statt" Legislature.

Hoffman, professor of history,
spoke to the state legislators and
other officials, including Gov. Wil-
liam Donald Schaefer, Jan. 23, dur-
ing ceremonies for the opening of
an exhibit of the Charles Carroll
papers in the Rotunda of the Mary-
land State House. Hoffman is the
editor of the Carroll Papers Project.

The exhibit, "A Priceless Legacy:
Charles Carroll of Carroll ton's Pap-
ers and the History of Maryland,"
focuses on one of the most powerfu 1
and influential families in Maryland
history.

Using documents, letters, paint-
ings, photographs and interpretive

notes, the exhibit traces the Carrol Is
from their roots in 17th century Ire-
land to the ascendancy of the family
in three generations to one of the
wealthiest in Maryland.

Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the
focal point of the exhibit, was born
in Annapolis in 1737. He was one of
Maryland's four signers of the
Declaration of Independence and
helped draft the Maryland
constitution and bill of rights.

In part, the project is designed to
educate the public about the im-
portance of preserving, editing and
publishing historical manu,scripts,
Hoffman says.

"Executing this assignment has
proved to be one of the most de-
manding challenges of my academic
career," Hoffman told legislators.

"Understanding what these rec-
ords hold is one thing, [but! finding

a way to convey this priceless
legacy to a wide and diverse audi-
ence in a succinct, compact, com-
pelling way is quite another.. .1 hope
you will find the exhibition
meaningful. Its preparation has in-
deed been a meaningful experience
for my staff and me and has chal-
lenged us to think about communi-
cating historical research in ways
that differ sharply from our usual
reliance upon the written word," he
said.

Sponsors of the project included
the Carroll Institute of London, the
Maryland State Archives, the Mary-
land General Assembly, the Mary-
land Humanities Council and the
Philip Morris Companies.

The exhibit, which is open to the
public, will be shown through
March,

Education Professor Unveils
Sculpture of Supreme Court Justice

Randall Craig, an associate pro-
fessor in the Department of Curri-
culum and Instruction in the Col-
lege of Education, recently unveiled
his sculptural portrait of Supreme
Court justice Thurgood Marshall at
the 1 toward University School of
Law.

Marshall graduated from
Howard in 1933.

The work was a gift to the law
schdol from its class of 1991, and the
unveiling was witnessed not only
by Marshall himself, but other
Supreme Court justices including
Byron White, Sandra Day
O'Connor, Harry Blackmun,
Anthony Kennedy and David
Souter.

Craig and Marshall both attend-
ed the Frederick Douglass High
School in Baltimore.

Craig's other artistic works in-
clude the 4 by 1 6 foot frieze in the
Benjamin Building's north lobby,
which the sculptor donated to the
college in 1987. The frieze, which
symbolizes the history of education
in our culture over a long period of
time and recognizes the important
leaders that have made significant
contributions to the development of
education, depicts a range of per-
sons from Black and Asian to
Anglo-Saxon and disabled,

Craig says that he tries to capture
the emotional and intellectual
response of a political, social, and
cultural phenomenon in his works.

Craig also recently finished a
sculpture of the former University
of Maryland regent Clarence
Mitchell Jr., a lobbyist for the
NAACP and a civil rights advocate.

A resident of Baltimore, where
he is an influential black artist and
sculptor, Craig is represented by
various area art galleries.

RESEARCH

1 991 Apple Computer TV Series to be Shown

The Computer Science Center, with Apple Computer, will make
the 1991 Apple Education Television Series available at College Park.
All three programs in this series will be shown from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
in Room 4205, the NonPrint Media Center, Hornbake Library. The
first program, "Macintosh Solutions for Administrators," will be held
February 21. It will demonstrate a common user interface to campus-
wide information systems such as executive support systems, e-mail,
financial and library systems, and alumni development services. The
March 21 program will focus on mathematics and data analysis, and
the April 25 program will look at new computer tools for integrating
multimedia into the curriculum.

Physics Department Colloquia

Bring Distinguished Guests to Campus

The initial wonderment of the
first cave- person who rubbed to-
gether two flintstones one coid
winter's night must have been tem-
porarily forgotten when the ensuing
sparks set fire to a pile of debris in a
corner of the cave and her shivering
children crawled toward the
welcome warmth. The light from
the fire even enabled her to see the
entire cave. She no doubt realized
then that this was a tremendously
beneficial discovery.

That discovery would have been
lost to humanity, however, if she
had not been able to communicate
the necessary skills to her children
and, thus, to posterity.

For the past four decades the
Department of Physics has been
providing the necessary platform
for famous discoverers to impart
their knowledge and skills not only
to all interested facultv members on
campus but also to the general
public at large and to the next gen-
eration of the campus: the students.

Every Tuesday afternoon of each
semester, in a tradition which was
begun in the 1950s by John S. Toll,
former department chair and now
chancellor emeritus, distinguished
scientists from all over the United
States, and sometimes from over-
seas, meet over tea and cookies with
assembled College Park faculty,
students and the general public.

After this informal gathering,
people in the audience take their
seats or squeeze into any available
space on the steps of the auditori-
um. The speaker is then introduced,
and the colloquium begins.

Many of these visiting lecturers
have distinguished names that stu-
dents learn when they first open a
physics textbook. Other lecturers,
like the students in the audience
before them, also have sat at the feet
of the founders of modern physics.
All convey the excitement of
discovery and the stimulus of
collaboration.

Last semester, for example, there
were colloquia on everything from
the high-precision determination of
fundamental constants using quan-
tum electrodynamics, to the origins
of the solar system, to the physics of
earthquake faults, to the use of laser
tweezers for the study of biological
motors. The speakers included
Alexander Migda! of
Princeton University, Hector
Rubinstein of the University of
Stockholm, Steven Block of Harvard
University, and the President of the
American Physical Society, Eugen
Merzbacher.

For the present semester, one of
the biggest draws will undoubtedly
be Fang Lizhi, the noted Chinese
astrophysicist now at Cambridge
University, England, He will speak
on February 19. Another will be the
Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann of
Cornell University, whose topic on
February 12 will be "Making and
Breaking Bonds in the Solid State."

Completing the program for Feb-
ruary, William Phillips, on February
26, will describe the latest de-
velopments at the National Institute
for Science and Technology in his
talk on "laser cooling and the
coldest atoms ever."

Yoichiro Nambu, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, winner of the
Heineman and Oppenheimer Prizes,
spoke FebRiary 5 on "The Bardeen-
Cooper-Schrieffer Mechanism at
Work in Various Fields of Physics."

This year's organizers, Richard
A. Ferrell and Joseph Sucher, ex-
plain this last topic: "If you shine
light on atoms, you'd expect the
system to warm them up." Not a bit
of it. "Actually it produces a toss of
energy and cooling."

Many of the speakers come to
College Park after being asked to
come here for a visit by physics
department faculty members who
have heard them give talks else-
where. One of these is John Mather
of the infrared Astrophysics Branch
of NASA. Mather is a member of
the team analyzing data still coming
in from NASA's COBE satellite.
Though the satellite has run out of
helium, data from the instruments
that require the gas are still being
analyzed, and the instruments that
do not require helium are, continu-
ing to function well. Mather will
have a great deal to report during
his lecture on April 30.

Chancellor Donald Langenberg,
who is also a professor of physics,
opened this semester's colloquium
series on January 29 with a talk on
"Physics and the World of the Uni-
versity of Maryland System."

Many of these speakers come to
College Park because of their close
ties to and common research inter-
ests with members of the physics
department. Many of these ties have
been nurtured for decades through
mutual respect and, often,
friendship. They serve to stimulate
the development of the research
being carried on at this campus by
faculty and students alike.

That first cave-person discover-
ing the means of manufacturing fire
and light would never have
regarded herself as a physicist.
Moreover, she would doubtless
have had cosmogonical beliefs that
would have left her quite unable to
comprehend those of one of her
distant descendants, such as
Glennys Farrar of Rutgers Univer-
sity {the speaker on April 9). Farrar
is well known for her work on the
physics of the universe less than a
second after its creation.

For further information on the
colloquia scheduled for the spring
semester, please contact Ferrell at
405-61 48 or Sucher at 405-6012.

Engineers Examine Surface and
Groundwater Contamination

To address the possible contam-
ination of surface and ground wat-
ers due to agricultural pesticide use,
agricultural engineers Adel
Shirmohammadi and William
Magette are working with soil sci-
entist and transport theoretician
Tim Gish of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Agricultural Research
Service (USDA-ARS) to track the
movement of pesticides through soil
and water.

The scientists are examining the
impact of different tillage practices

and chemical application methods
on this movement and the resulting
surface and ground water quality.
Their project, sponsored by the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station and USDA-ARS, involves
the first field-scale research in the
nation evaluating the movement
and fate of encapsulated pesticides
under different tillage systems. The
results could have important impli-
cations for the quality of the Chesa-
peake Bay and its tributaries.

1991 Foreign Policy Program Underway

Twenty fellows from countries
around the world have come to
College Park to take part in the 1991
Seminar on the U.S. Foreign Policy
Process.

The program was established in
1987 as a joint initiative of the
School of Public Affairs and the
Ford Foundation. It enables mid-
career government officials, policy-
oriented scholars and journalists,
primarily from developing coun-
tries, to engage in direct, intensive
analysis of the United States foreign
policy process. Directed by I.M.
Destier, a leading specialist in U.S.

foreign policymaking and author of
the a ward -winning book American
Trade Policies, the program combines
the resources of the university,
including experts from the School of
Public Affairs faculty, with access to
policymakers and institutions in
Washington, D.C. Seminar
participants conduct individual
research projects on aspects c^f
recent U.S. government policy-
making of particular interest to
them.

The program runs from January
through June.
