40-Hour Work Week: New Policy
Goes into Effect
As of Ihe pay cycle beginning
July 14, all university classified and
associate staff will begin working a
40-hour week — unless some last
minute legal magic in an Anne
Arundel County Circuit court tem-
porarily delays the onset of what is
undoubtedly one of the most con-
troversial governor's executive
orders in years.
After the UM System Board of
Regents voted on June 19 to estab-
lish the longer work week for uni-
versity employees. President
William E. Kirwan, in a letter to the
campus community, said: "An out-
pouring of community support for
those affected has come from all
corners of the campus," and he
asked the community to find as
many ways as possible to express
compassion.
The first inkling of a possible
expansion of the university work-
week surfaced just seven months
ago, on January 1, 1991, when Gov-
ernor Schaefer issued Executive Or-
der 01.01.1991.15. It decreed that all
state employees would begin to
work a 40-hour w^eek in February.
The ostensible reason for the unex-
pected order: to increase employee
productivity during the state's cur-
rent budget difficulties.

for a review of some of
the problems, prospects
and plans concerning
agriculture at Maryland.
Not surprisingly, there was an
immediate outburst of negative
reaction to the plan that will stretch
the work week for about half of the
state's employees without a cor-
responding pay increase. In
response to the outcry, the gover-
nor temporarily suspended the
order, but once more, on February
27, he announced it would go into
effect as of July 1.
Under a 1942 state personnel
policy, about half of the state's
80,000 employees have worked 35
1 /2 or 37 1 /2 hours per week.
However, personnel policies for
university employees are under a
separate jurisdiction, set by the
UMS Board of Regents, as estab-
lished by the legislature. As a
result, the regents were placed in a
position of having to decide wheth-
er they should approve a separate
resolution adopting the 40-hour
week for the university system. On
January 24 the board voted in favor
of such a resolution — only to
rescind it a few weeks later when
the governor delayed implementa-
tion of his order until July 1. This
left the regents in the position of
having to consider the matter once
more.

Marilyn Berman Named
Outstanding Woman of the Year
Marilyn Berman, associate dean
of the College of Engineering, has
been named College Park's Out-
standing Woman of the Year. The
award, made by the President's
Commission on Women's Affairs,
will be presented during cere-
monies September 24 in Room 1400
Marie Mount. A reception will fol-
low in the Maryland Room.
Berman was cited for her role as
catalyst, mentor and champion in
the college's drive to increase the
number of women and minority
students pursuing engineering
degrees. When she joined the Col-
lege of Engineering, fewer than one
percent of its majors were women.
Today, in large part because of her
efforts, nearly one of every five un-
dergraduate students in the college
is a woman,
Berman has been affiliated with
College Park since 1972 when she
was a graduate assistant in the
General Undergraduate Advise-
ment Office. She joined the college
as a counselor in the dean's office
in 1974 and was named assistant
dean in 1979.
During the 1987-88 academic
year, she served as assistant to
then-University of Maryland Presi-
dent John Toll. She was appointed
associate dean in 1988 and is one of
the few women who hold this rank
at a school of engineering.
Berman has long been involved
with minority and women's pro-
grams in engineering. Since the
1970s, she has developed and
directed innovative summer pro-
grams for high school minority and
women students and public school
counselors and teachers.
Through her efforts, the Center
for Minorities in Science and Engi-
neering was established within the
college in 1981. She also was
instrumental in organizing the
Maryland Student Chapter of the
Society of Women Engineers and
has served as SWE's faculty advi-
sor since 1974. Twice she has won
the university's Outstanding Advi-
sor Award for Distinguished Ser-
vice.
The National Science Found-
ation recently awarded Berman
grants to supprort two programs.
One is a joint project with Prince
George's Community College
called Science and You (SAY). It is
designed to attract graduating high
school women into science and en-
gineering careers. The other grant
funded a national workshop on
mathematics and engineering edu-
cation reform held in June,
Berman holds a B.A. degree,
cum laude, from Brooklyn College,
City University of New York, an
M.A. in counseling and personnel
services and a Ph.D. in higher edu-
cation administration, both from
College Park.

Longer Work Week Begins
contintieti from page I
Joan McKee
On May 30, the commUtee pre-
sented the Spencer Report, (as it
was informally named for commit-
tee chair, UMS Deputy Chancellor
Jean Spencer) to the Educational
Policy and Finance committees of
the Board of Regents. At that meet-
ing, after hearing statements from
employees who were in opposition
to the resolution and after some
discussion of the Spencer Report,
the regents decided not to approve
it. However, they asked the com-
mittee to return with improve-
ments to the report at its next
meeting on June 19.
At that June meeting, the
Spencer Report was not presented
in revised form; instead, the chan-
cellor outlined some options that
campuses might use to try to mini-
mize the impact of the lengthened
work week.
All the regents, save one, voted
for the resolution adopting the 40-
hour work week. The lone holdout
was Regent Connie Unseld, who
said, "I had to let them [classified
staff] understand 1 was supportive
of their concerns. After listening to
both sides, I felt empathy,"
According to the Sp»encer
Report, 81.4 percent of those
impacted by the increased work
week at College Park will be
women. Since no pay increase
accompanies the expanded work
week, the 4 1/2 hour increase in
weekly worktime amounts to an
approximate 12 percent pay cut for
the more than 5,0(X) UMS clerical
workers affected, most of whom
earn less than $25,000 a year. The
impact is exacerbated by the fact
that no cost-of-living or merit
increment has been awarded to
state employees for the year start-
ing July 1,
At College Park, in fall 1990, the
number of classified staff was
3,080, of whom 1 ,850 are women.
In addition, the 670 associate staff,
of whom 312 are women, will work
more hours.
At both the May and June meet-
ings, many UMCP employees felt
the issue was so important they
took annual leave to express their
opposition to the plan. At the May
30 board meeting, UMCP employee
Joan McKee, who chairs the Ad
Hoc Committee on the 40-Hour
Work Week of the Women's
Forum, reflected the classified staff
point of view. Reading a statement
for Beth Vanfossen, Towson State
University, who chairs the UMS
Women's Forum, McKee said: "As
you know, state employees current-
ly work two different work weeks:
office, clerical, and administrative
staff, who are mainly women, were
hired under an understanding of
the 35.5 hour work week, with a
pay scale to match that schedule of
work; all other classes, mainly
male, were hired under a 40-hour
work week with their pay adjusted
to that degree of work.
"Because 92 jserccnt of the UMS
employees who currently work a
35.5 hour work week are women, it
is widely and correctly perceived
that the Executive Order will dis-
proportionately impact on women,
introducing new gender inequities
into the pay structure of the UM
System. These new inequities will
be very difficult to remove once the
State of Maiyland is back on its
feet financially.
"There are other issues as well.
For example, without an increase in
pay, many women employees who
are working mothers will face con-
siderable difficulty in adjusting
their responsibilities for children as
a result of their increased hours
spent at work. The extra expenses
they will face for additional day
care coverage is one example of
how the costs of this measure,
which is designed to save money
for the state, will be borne by the
employee..."
In a move to block the gover-
nor's order after the board's action
on June 19, Council 92 of the
American Federation of Stale,
County and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME) filed suit in Anne Arun-
del County Circuit Court. Stating
that a 35 1/2 hour work week has
existed for 67 percent of the state
work force since 1942, AFSCME
contended that extending the week
to 40 hours without increasing sal-
aries is illegal, unfair and a breach
of contract. Lawyers on both sides
agree that the issue is headed for a
decision by a Court of Appeals.
The AFSCME lawsuit is similar
to one filed May 1 by the Maryland
Classified Employees Assn. The
unions argue that the state consti-
tution does not give the governor
the power to change employees
working hours, that only the legis-
lature can amend state employees'
pay plans, and that the order dis-
criminates against women.
In another legal challenge to the
order, UMCP employee Gloria
Chawla filed an EEOC suit that has
already been considered by the Bal-
timore office of EEOC and is cur-
rently being reviewed by the Wash-
ington, D.C. EEOC office.
Meanwhile, the university is
moving to implement the longer
work week.
Director of Personnel Services
Dale Anderson has developed
guidelines to clarify questions
regarding the longer working day.
The guidelines pertain to such is-
sues as possible hours of work, ad-
justment of annual, sick and per-
sonal leave time, and official office
hours. In part, they include the fol-
lowing:
• Hours for part-time employees
who are paid in proportion to a 35
1 /2 or 37 1 /2 hour week will be
adjusted proportionately;
• Increased work hours will not
affect salaries. New hourly rates
will be based on a 40-hour work
week.
• Split appointments will be
changed centrally.
• Annual, sick and personal leave
balances will be automaticelly ad-
justed so no leave will be lost.
Leave balances will be adjusted by
.9 hour for each 7.1 hours of
accrued leave to bring balances in
line with 40-hour work week.
• The official campus business day
will be 8:30 to 4:30 p.m.; all depart-
ments will be open for business
during these hours, including noon
to 1 p.m.
• Supervisors are encouraged to
be flexible in approving new
schedules, with a list of possible
workday hours including a number
of options, ranging from 8 a,m, to
4:30 p.m., five-day week, one-half
hour lunch, to a 7 a.m, to 6 p.m., 4
day week, one hour lunch.
• To give employees a chance to
adjust, a six-week transition period
starting July 14 will also be
invoked, with employees allowed
to use up to one hour per day from
comp time, personal leave, accrued
annual leave, or by working during
their lunch break to apply toward
their 40-hour work week.
President Kirwan has restated
that campus offices should seek the
greatest flexibility possible to
accommodate the staff as the tran-
sition takes place. He also is plac-
ing a high priority on working
with the system office to initiate
"appropriate compensation for the
extra hours of work."
Meanwhile, classified employees
have not given up their ongoing
campaign to push for increased
pay for the additional hours
worked. Members of the Women's
Forum have been invited to meet
with the legislative Women's
Caucus this fall, and are backing
the various legal actions that are
underway.
And, despite what has hap-
pened thus far, they insist that the
final story has not yet been told.

Physical Plant Reduces
Housekeeping Service
Faced with budget cuts of nearly
$1.2 million and a lack of new staff,
the Department of Physical Plant is
cutting back housekeeping services
in more than 5,1 (X) administrative
and research offices at College
Park.
The cutback will affect all
administrative and research offices.
Under the plan, expected to go into
effect in early July, cleaning and
trash removal services by physical
plant will he significantly reduced,
says Frank Brev/er, director of
physical plant.
"These changes can only be
described as major," Brewer says.
In addition, physical plant is
eliminating a variety of other ser-
vices including free key replace-
ment, carpet repairs, minor win-
dow repairs and preparation and
cleanup for most departmental spe-
cial events. Saturday, Sunday and
holiday cleaning also have been
eliminated.
As part of the housekeeping
cuts, offices will be visited just
once every two weeks by a physi-
cal plant housekeeper. During
those visits, the worker will
vacuum or mop the office— activ-
ities now performed daily.
The housekeeper will no longer
remove trash from offices — a ser-
vice now performed daily. Instead,
trash must be collected in desig-
nated areas in each building and
will be picked up twice weekly.
New schedules for housekeep-
ing and trash pickup are being dis-
tributed to campus departments
and offices by physical plant,
Brewer says. Housekeeping was
targeted for cuts in part because
office workers feel a high sense of
"ownership" of their work areas
and likely will keep their areas in
order despite the reduction in ser-
vice. Brewer says.
Budget reductions and under-
staffing in physical plant prompted
the changes, according to Brewer.
Budget reductions totaling $1.2 mil-
lion for FY91 and FY92 have forced
the department to eliminate 69
positions (59 of which are contract
positions). Brewer says.
In addition, the department has
not received new staff for house-
keeping services in newly opened
buildings such as the Administra-
tive Services Building and the Agri-
cultural/Life Sciences Surge Build-
ing. In FY91 and FY92 budgets, the
department did not receive 61 posi-
tions needed to fully staff the addi-
tional space, he says.
In all, physical plant, which cur-
rently has 80O positions, is 130
positions short of full strength, ac-
cording to Brewer.
Restoration of the reduced ser-
vices depends on future funding of
physical plant.
"We're hoping this is a tempor-
ary measure, but we will be operat-
ing as if it will be permanent,"
Brewer says.
The situation, however, may get
worse before it improves. The new
College of Business and Manage-
ment and School of Public Affairs
Building and the A.V. Williams II
building are scheduled for comple-
tion during spring 1992. With no
new staff slated for those new
spaces, the current physical plant
staff may become further extended.
Brewer says.

Four Faculty Win 1991 Presidential Young
Investigator Awards
Jayavent P. Gore
Manoussos Grilfakis
Wllliem Pugh
Four College Park assistant pro-
fessors have won 1991 Presidential
Young Investigator (PYl) Awards
from the National Science Founda-
tion. They are among 220 academic
scientists and engineers nationally
selected to receive the award. The
PYl awards are among the most
prestigious and sought after
awards for young faculty.
The four bring to 28 the number
of promising young College Park
researchers who have won these
highly competitive awards since
they were created by N5F in 1983.
The program represents a partner-
ship among private industry, the
federal government, the investi-
gators, and their academic institu-
tions.
The four College Park faculty
members are: Jayavant Gore,
Department of Mechanical Engi-
neering; Manoussos Crillakis,
Department of Mathematics; Wil-
liam Pugh, Department of Com-
puter Science, and Janice E. Reutt-
Robey, Department of Chemistry.
The PYl award provides a grant
of $25,000 per year from NSF for
five years. In addition, each dollar
of industrial support is matched by
NSF on a dollar-for-dollar basis up
to a total annual grant of $1(X),0{)0.
Gore, who is an authority on
combustion, radiation and heat
transfer, will focus on the develop-
ment of advanced high efficiency
furnaces using environmentally
benign fuels and new radiative en-
hancement concepts.
Grillakis' field of research is par-
Hal differential equations and in
particular equations of hyperbolic
type that describe the propagation
and interaction of waves in a vari-
ety of contexts, for example in
acoustics, electromagnetism and the
classical description of elementary
particles. His current interest is in a
system of equations that describe
the propagation of waves on a
curved surface.
Pugh's research work involves
automatic methods for reorganizing
computer programs to make effec-
tive use of massive parallelism and
specialized programming
languages designed for computa-
tionally intensive scientific prob-
lems such as weather prediction
and air flow modeling,
Reutt-Ro bey's research focuses
on chemical dynamics at the gas-
solid interface. She will use the
award to develop new experimen-
tal strategics to examine these pro-
cesses at the molecular level.
The 1991 PYl awards were dis-
tributed among engineering (79),
mathematical and physical sciences
(65), computer and information sci-
ences (33), biological, behavioral
and social sciences {3t)), and geo-
sciences (13). Awards to women
(41) were approximately the same
as for 1990 (43).

Regents Approve Name for New
Agriculture Institute
Paul MazzocchI
It has been widely acknow-
ledged that problems have long
existed in the administrative struc-
ture of agricultural programs at
Maryland.
Despite the fact that during the
past decade two different external
review teams produced reports
suggesting ways to change the
structure and reduce inefficiencies,
no new system has been developed
to deal more effectively with the
complicated relationships binding
together the Maryland Agricultural
Experiment Station (AES), the
Maryland Cooperative Extension
Service (CES) and UMCP's College
of Agriculture,
The most complex issue that
continues to divide the units has
centered on the direction and con-
trol of AES and CES resources in
academic departments of the
UMCP College of Agriculture.
Recently, this problem has been
exacerbated by a proposed joint
venture between AES and the U.S.
Depl. of Agriculture to create a
new cooperative institute (INRES)
that would be located in a new
building in Beltsvillc.
Just a few weeks ago the UMS
Board of Regents forged another
new, and controversial, link in the
agricultural chain that has bound
the three units. Although College
Park faculty had demonstrated a
notable lack of support for the
plan, the regents approved a sys-
tem recommendation to name a
new institute, the Maryland Insti-
tute for Agriculture and Natural
Resources (MIANR). The new unit
will bring under one administrative
umbrella the Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station (AES) and
the Maryland CcK)f>erative Exten-
sion Service fCES). At the same
time, the regents also elevated Vice
Chancellor for Agriculture and
Natural Resources Raymond J.
Miller to the position of president
of the new institute.
The move, intended to give the
two units "a unified and strength-
ened identity," reflects a change in
name and title only, according to
Chancellor Donald Langenberg,
who described the action as simply
a matter of making "two small ad-
ministrative nomenclature
changes." However, many College
Park agriculture faculty disagreed,
and an overflow crowd showed up
at a system meeting called to
explain the rationale for the name
change.
The primary problem in the cur-
rent structure relates to the fact
that, unlike that of most other uni-
versity systems, the administration
of Maryland's land grant functions
of teaching, research and extension
are split among UMCP and other
units in the system governed by
three separate and independent
lines of authority. Two of these
units, AES (primarily a research
unit that seeks to solve agricultural
and related business and environ-
mental problems), and CES (the
unit that dispenses advice to farm-
ers, agribusinesses, and consum-
ers), were moved from College
Park to the system thirteen years
ago.
Meanwhile, the College of
Agriculture is located at UMCP
and is administratively separated
from AES and CES. This situation
has led to conflicts in authority
over the use of faculty time, grant
money, accountability, and respon-
sibility and has caused uncertainty
and frustration on many fronts.
A comparison of Maryland's
land grant structure with that of
other universities highlights the
fact that Maryland's system is
unique. Forty states have land
grant administrative structures
where one individual supervises
teaching, research and extension at
the campus level. An overwhelm-
ing majority — 48 states — have one
person supervising teaching and
research at the campus level {only
Louisiana and Maryland are excep-
tions). In 48 states both AES and
CES are located on the land grant
campus, and in 49 states AES is
located on the land grant campus.
At the May 30 meeting of the
UMS Board of Regents, College
Park President William E. Kirwan
discussed the deficiencies that exist
in the current agricultural struc-
ture. 'These problems are real, not
simply a perception about UMCP,"
he said, reviewing how College
Park has pressed to have the defici-
encies addressed since 1984, first
through the York Committee and
then by appointing the Vanderhoef
Committee to find solutions to the
organizational problem in 1989.
Each group issued a report recom-
mending a different organizational
approach, but neither set of recom-
mendations was adopted.
Of the existing structure, Kirwan
told the regents, 'Three indepen-
dent lines of authority — two of
which go off -campus — impose con-
flicting objectives on departments,
and the structure has a debilitating
effect on departments and faculty."
UMCP agricultural and resource
economics professor Richard Just
reinforced the president's view,
saying: "A loss of coordination and
stability in the current system has
resulted in a number of negative
conditions: an inability to act in a
timely manner, difficulty of manag-
ing long-term research, loss of at-
traction for high-quality faculty,
uncertainty of filling open posi-
tions, uncertainty of who will judge
productivity and by what stan-
dards, and a potential inequity of
rewards among alternative promo-
tion and tenure systems."
Despite these persistent prob-
lems. College Park has continued
to place a high priority on funding
agricultural programs. Its agricul-
ture instructional budget has
increased 66 percent since 1988, a
rate higher than the campus aver-
age. Between 1990 and 1995, $110
million of facilities for agricultural-
ly related activities will have come
on line, and more than $50 million
worth of these facilities were built
explicitly for AES and CES activ-
ities at UMCP, Kirwan told the
regents. 'The issue is not if agricul-
tural activities and resources are to
remain on campus; the issue is
what is the appropriate administra-
tive structure to put in place to op-
timize the use of these resources,"
he said.
Now that the regents have
named MIANR as the new agricul-
tural unit in the system, agreement
continued (m ptige 5
AgriciiltuTe at a Glance
Here are a few facts to help
clarify the relationships of the
three agricultural units at the
university:
• The Morrill Land Grant College
Act of 1862 established a Land
Grant College in every state. Under
this act. College Park became the
Land Grant College of the state,
with the College of Agriculture
located there,
• The Hatch Act of 1887 estab-
lished an Agricultural Experiment
Station (MAES) under the direction
of each Land Grant College.
• The Smith Lever Act of 1914
established a Cooperative Exten-
sion Service (MCES) in connection
with each Land Grant College.
• As the result of a UM Board of
Regents' action, since 1978 AES and
CES have been located at the UM
System level. However, academic
departments in UMCP's College of
Agriculture derive almost 70 per-
cent of their operating support
from AES and CES while providing
the vast majority of AES research
and state wiue support for local
CES extension activities.

Kabukl/Shakespeare Project Underway at College Park
Thirty secondary school teachers from 10 stales are at College
Park this month to participate in the third Theatre East and West
program, a cross-cultural study of Shakespearean and Kabuki
theater. After three weeks of study this summer, the teachers will
travel to Japan next year to complete the program. The Center for
Renaissance and Baroque Studies, the Department of Hebrew and
East Asian Languages and Literatures and the International Center
for the Study of Education Policy and Human Values are
CO- sponsors of the program. It has been funded for three years with
$550,000 in grants from the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
on how AES and CES will interface
with the College of Agriculture be-
comes even more imperative. Dis-
cussions are expected to extend
through the summer months in or-
der to meet the regents' directive
that MIANR issues will be placed
on the September agenda of the
regents' Committee on Educational
Policy.
At the heart of the dialogue are
interface questions centering on
administration, faculty governance,
research and service, personnel,
and budget policies.
Some of the thorniest admin-
istrative issues relate tj the roles of
the president, former vice chancel-
lor/now MIANR president, dean
and directors in dealing with exter-
nal groups and how these positions
relate to each other, how chairs
should be appointed and faculty
lines be distributed, and what level
of integration of planning among
the units would bring optimum
results.
Faculty governance is another
sensitive interface issue, with deci-
sions needed on the roles of faculty
councils in setting goals for
research faculty needs and the ex-
tent to which faculty will parti-
cipate in governance of the three
units.
Research and service issues are
other high agenda items. For
instance, how the deans and direc-
tors will coordinate research and
service activities, how AES and
CES funds are allocated to faculty
programs, how funding proposals
should be administered, what is
most appropriate regarding space,
matching support and credit to in-
dividual units, and how questions
regarding support for RAs, TAs,
and fellowship recipients should be
handled are among other critical
interface issues that require resolu-
tion.
Toss into the hopper the need to
agree on personnel policies such as
appointment, promotion and ten-
ure decision processes, evaluations,
split appointments, and retirement
policies, and the summer discus-
sion schedule is daunting.
Who has the ultimate authority
and responsibility for budget decis-
ions lies at the heart of the dilem-
ma. How are departmental and
proposal budgets developed and
operating funds managed, what
about decisions on indirect cost
return, salary savings, auxiliary
enterprises, tuition remission decis-
ions, and appropriate charges for
space? All these are on the agenda
for discussion and debate this sum-
mer.
Acting agriculture dean Paul
Mazzocchi says that "These ques-
tions have been unresolved for
many years. We have to view
MIANR and the fact that these is-
sues have gotten the attention of
the chancellor, the regents, the
governor and the public as the best
opfwrt unity we are going to have
to solve these problems."
Mazzocchi reinforces Kirwan's
conviction that the California
Model is the best starting point for

The California Model was cited in tlie Vanderhoef Report as an effective model.
a new agricultural organizational
model at College Park, The Califor-
nia Model, cited in the Vanderhoef
Report as an effective model, was
endorsed in concept in a statement
by Langenberg at the May Board of
Regents' meeting.
If ultimately adopted, proposals
suggested in the model would go a
long way toward ensuring that
teaching, research and extension
resources at College Park would be
managed in an integrated fashion,
rather than continuing to pit the
individual units against each other
in competition for scarce funds,
says Just.
The proposals would provide
for accountability in using resour-
ces wisely and for long-term flexi-
bility, while maintaining the short-
term stability required for appro-
priate research and facilities plan-
ning and good staffing decisions,
says Just.
A suggested plan calls for funds
to be transferred to UMCP in an
annual block amount to the College
of Agriculture, in a yearly negotiat-
ed transaction between UMCP and
MIANR, with flexibility to use the
funds to accomplish a mission
designed in conjunction with AES
and CES. Initially, funding would
be based on the past five-year aver-
age of the percent, rather than dol-
lar amount, of AES and CES bud-
get support for College Park, with
a commitment for the percentage to
remain unchanged for five years in
order to facilitate long-range pro-
gram planning.
To ensure accountability, annual
negotiations between the dean and
directors would be built in, with
the dean allocating budget and
lines among UMCP departments to
accomplish agreed-upon AES and
CES programs. The plan would
specify that space and support for
faculty and staff be provided by
UMCP, with funding provided by
AES and CES. The plan also calls
for tuition remission policies as
well as faculty appointment, pro-
motion and tenure processes that
would be administered by UMCP.
"The basic concept is that all the
administration of agricultural activ-
ities that takes place on the College
Park campus should be centered in
one administrator, the dean,"
explains Just, a central figure in the
planning process. "Through block
grants, the dean would be allowed
autonomy in the decisions about
AES and CES activities at College
Park on a day-to-day basis."
Just says, "If we do not have
some autonomy over AES and CES
campus activities, we will continue
to have conflict. This wnll continue
to be devastating to productivity
and will lead to an inability to
make decisions with the perspec-
tive of all three functions that need
to be served,"
"We have an opportunity here to
build a program of real excellence.
Through basing our plan on the
California Model, we can create the
structure to do this. We can't afford
to lose this opportunity," says
Kirwan.

"We Have a Distance to Go"
by Sharon Fries-Britt
The foUowing remarks have been
excerpted from the luncheon kei/rtote
talk given by Sharvn Fries-Britt, assis-
tant to the vice president of Student
Affairs, at the Personnel Practices
Conference on June 6.
...I collected data for this presen-
tation from real people. I talked to
many of you in the audience, as
well as other individuals on cam-
pus. Four primary themes kept
recurring in your comments about
our attitudes towards classified
staff, i share them with you
because they bothered me, and
when things bother me they get
more of my time and attention.
More importantly, I hope they
bother each of you enough that it
makes a difference in your atti-
tudes and behaviors. What 1
learned from you is:
•We expect the quality of the
work performed by classified staff
to be professional, however, we
treat them like second-class
citizens.
• We expect the classified staff to
be committed to the university
financially and spiritually, yet they
are not represented on university
committees that make major
decisions. Yes, there is the occas-
ional representative, but this kind
of tokenism does not empower a
group to the degree that is neces-
sary to influence real change.
• We expect the classified staff to
work longer hours or come in
earlier if we are working on a
"special" project, but many of us do
not encourage their participation in
training programs during the day
or university ceremonies and acti-
vities unless it is on their own time.
•A more recent issue is that we
expect them to understand that as
an institution we had nothing to do
with the 40-hour work week, yet
I'm not convinced that we have
taken the time to really understand
the impact it is having on the qual-
ity of their lives.
These four issues can be sum-
marized as: 1 ) lack of respect; 2)
lack of representation; 3) lack of
consideration and 4) lack of pay.
As a community we must realize
the chilly climate that our attitudes
and behaviors are creating for
some vital members of our cam-
pus....
In my conversations, I also
learned that you too have a dis-
tance to go. You must confront:
•The "in group" and "out group"
that is developing in your com-
munity.
•You must not get caught up in
your own status games of who is
important because they are so and
so's secretary or so and so's admin-
istrative aide 1.
• You must recognize the ethnic
and cultural diversity that you
have in your community. Don't
measure your successes in this area
by the numbers of women and
men of color who get involved.
Rather measure your success by the
difference that is made in the
values you establish as a com-
munity based on the contributions
of all individuals, including the in-
dividuals of color.
• And finally, accept and know
that you are professional! Do not
always look for affirmation outside
of yourself. Continue to assert this
in your behaviors and actions.
I'm very proud of the com-
munity we have at College Park.
Like any large family, we have our
issues to work on. We may never
have all the money we need to
solve our financial problems, but
we all know that money alone
would not solve every problem we
have,,..

CALENDAR
Vocal Arts Events Make Debut
Not one, but two world-class
music events are making their
debuts on the College Park campus
this summer.
Last week the first-ever Marian
Anderson Vocal Arts Competition
began on July 10. It will run
through July 20. Overlapping the
competition will be the First
American Vocal Arts Congress,
which begins July 16 and also ends
on July 20 at the same gala
Kennedy Center concert.
Named lo honor America's
renowned contralto Marian Ander-
son and following the traditions of
the highly successful University of
Maryland International William
Kapell Piano Competition (now a
biennial event, taking place next in
1992), the International Marian
Anderson Vocal Competition has
attracted, world-wide interest and
excitement.
Offering over $50,000 in prizes,
including a first prize of $20,000
and a New York City recital in
November 1991, the competition
has invited a select group of the
world's best young singers to per-
form for internationally famous
juries. Two College Park graduates,
mezzo-soprano Susan Fleming and
tenor Rot>ert Petillo, are among the
46 contestants who were chosen
out of a field of 179 entrants from
around the world.
The preliminary and semi-final
rounds of the competition will take
place on the College Park campus.
Competition finals will be in the
Kennedy Center Concert Hall July
20, where the four finalists will
perform an evening of art songs
and excerpts from oratorios and
operas with the National Sym-
phony Orchestra, conducted by
Alessandro Siciliani. American
baritone Sherrill Milnes will chair
the final round jury.
Milnes is also president of the
First American Vocal Arts Con-
gress, a gathering of professional
singers, teachers, students, and
opera enthusiasts to explore new
challenges in the vocal arts and to
celebrate the achievements of
American artists and composers.
Congress events include a recital
series, "American Works for Voice,"
a lecture-demonstration by the Gol-
dovsky Foundation, and symposia
on various topics such as career
development and performance op-
portunities and technique. Milnes
and colleagues also will perform
two festive evenings of song in
Tawes Theatre.
A special testimonial dinner July
18 on the College Park campus will
honor Marian Anderson, who is
expected to be present.
The congress's opening concert
is July 16 in Tawes Theatre at 8
p.m., "Sherrill Milnes and Friends
1." The Friends include singers
