Eugenie Clark to Lecture on
Sea Monsters Dec. 14

World renowned zoologist
Eugenie Clark will inaugurate her
open lecture series on marine bio-
logy with a free lecture, "Magnifi-
cent Sea Monsters of the Undersea
Desert," to be held Saturday, Dec.
14 at noon in the main auditorium
of the Center for Adult Education,
University College.

Clark, known throughout the
world as "The Shark Lady" for her
path-breaking research on these
often misunderstood fish, will also
sign copies of her latest book. The
Desert Beneath the Sea, at a brief
reception following the lecture.
Published by Scholastic Books,
Desert Beneath the Sea is Clark's first
book for children. Her two other
books are Lady with a Spear (1953)
and The Lady and the Sharks (1969),

"Dr. Clark's willingness to estab-
lish a lecture scries open to alumni
and friends and family of campus
faculty and staff is just another out-
standing example of her commit-
ment to College Park," says Arthur
Popper, professor and chair of the
Department of Zoology. 'Through
this lecture series and her new
book, a new generation of enthusi-

astic young people will be exposed
to Dr. Clark's work with sharks
and the wonders of marine bio-
logy,"

Clark, who has been diving for
more than 30 years, has discovered
1 1 new species of fish, and four
others have been named in her
honor. A prolific writer, she has
contributed more than 100 articles
to scientific journals and popular
magazines, including National Geo-
graphic. Of her more than 20 tele-
vision specials. The Sharks," a 1982
National Geographic Special, holds
PBS's highest-ever Nielson rating.
Her latest documentary, filmed on
location on the Red Sea, recently
aired on the Discovery Channel.

This month, the Department of
Zoology announced that it would
establish The Eugenie Clark Scholar
ship to honor Clark and her
research. The scholarship will allow
students to advance their careers in
zoology through direct research
with College Park faculty.

Doctoral Program in Higher Education
Produces Future Educational Leaders

The graduate studies program in
the Department of Higher Educa-
tion Administration and Policy in
the College of Education is an
investment in the future of higher
education.

"The program gave me an intro-
duction to the higher (?ducation
association world — where 1 now
make my living," says Louis Albert,
vice president of the American
Association for Higher Education
and a program graduate.

"I spent 12 years in the Mary-
land Community College System
and never visited 1 Dupont Circle,"
adds Albert, a former dean at Essex
Community College. "Through the
program, I was exposed to some
very valuable insights about the
role of national associations."

The doctoral program provides
knowledge, skills, and practical
experience relevant to leadership in
p»ost-seeondary education, says
Frank Schmidtlein, an associate
professor in the Department of
Education Administration and Pol-
icy and the program's coordinator.

"Graduates are prepared to
assume significant positions in col-
leges and universities, national and
regional associations, state agencies
and commissions, as well as in
executive and legislative branches
of both state and federal govern-
ment," says Schmidtlein.

"We have administrators with
management training in higher
education who are not acquainted
with academic values and perspec-
tives and administrators with aca-
demic experience but little manage-
ment training," says Schmidtlein.
"Our program seeks to bridge this

The program brings together
doctoral students and faculty mem-

bers who share an interest in the
study of higher educahon and who
are dedicated to the improvement
of colleges and universities as
agencies of human understanding,
individual growth, community ser-
vice, and social justice, adds
Schmidtlein.

The program, one of the largest
in the nation with approximately
1 00 doctoral students, requires stu-
dents to take courses on higher
education and in cognate areas
such as business, public affairs, and
the social sciences.

"Students work closely with a
large and nationally- recognized
complement of full-time faculty
who are experienced both as schol-
ars and as senior practitioners,"
says Schmidtlein. 'The diversity

and abilities of the program's stu-
dents ensures an intellectually
vibrant and socially supportive
learning environment."

Besides Albert, program gradu-
ates include Marilyn Berman, an
associate dean in the College of
Education; Jane Lawrence, acting
director of the university's Honors
Program; and Julie Porosky, vice
president of State Programs at Uni-
versity College.

Besides Schmidtlein, full-time
faculty includes Robert Berdahl,
Robert Bimbaum, Richard Chait,
and Monique Clague. Part-time fac-
ulty includes Barbara Finkelstein
and Steven Selden,

AHDP: Much More Than a
Playground for Young and Old

Every Saturday morning. Cole
Field House becomes a playground
for the young and the old. Students
can be seen together with senior
citizens participating in everything
from tricycle races to dancing.

These activities are a part of the
unique Adults' Health and Devel-
opmental Program (AHDD which
for nearly 20 years has matched
College Park students and com-
munity volunteers with "golden-
aged" citizens for Saturday morn-
ing workouts, counseling and com-
panionship.

Over the years AHDP has
become an internationally known
program designed to affect posi-
tively the health, well-being, and
physical fitness of institutionalized
and non-institutionalized older
adults.

One of the first organized geron-
tological programs, AHDP has
proved that the quality of life for
an older adult can be improved by
reducing health risks through par-
ticipation in fitness and other well-
ness programs while simultaneous-
ly encouraging meaningful social
interactions. The fact that adults
aged 65 and older are the fastest
growing segment of the United
States population offers further
support for the need for more pro-
grams like AHDP.

Founded by Dan Lcviton, pro-
fessor of health education, the pro-
gram is an arm of the College of
Health and Human Performance,
but it draws students from virtual-
ly every academic major, giving it a
truly interdisciplinary focus. Uni-
versity students enrolled in the
course receive credit for participa-
tion, but the program includes a
large number of volunteers and
alumni as well.

AHDP pairs "staffers" one-on-
one with seniors who come to the
program from nursing homes and
veterans centers, as well as on the
recommendation of doctors or fam-
ily members.

Volunteers are responsible for
developing a fitness program spcxri-
fically designed to meet the goals
and capabilities of their senior. The
idea is to get these individuals to
do things they wouldn't do ordi-
narily and in the process prove to
them that they arc still capable
beings with something to share.

On a typical Saturday, staffers
arrive at 8:30 a.m. for an hour of
training before the seniors arrive.
In the following hour and a half,
participants engage in such activi-
ties as singing, modified aerobics,
swimming, weight training, baw-
ling, ping pong or tennis. The list
goes on.

At 11 a.m., participants come
together for an hour of health edu-
cation where they learn about
stress management, the proper use
of medicine, nutrition, hyperten-
sion, and osteoporosis. This session
often leads to intcrgcnerational dis-
cussions on current topicsof inter-
est ranging from sexuality or war
to death. TTiis reciprocal exchange

of ideas is enlightening for all
according to Nancy Blaney, chair of
the board of advisors for the pro-
gram. "There is no racism^ no
sexism, no class discrimination. Just
people," she says.

Blaney is an example of a Col-
lege Park graduate who is sold on
the program. She first got involved
with it nearly 19 years ago during
the second semester of her fresh-
man year. She served as a student
staff member, group leader, and
now chairs the board of advisors.
She says many university alumni
are involved with the program,
some who wanted to continue par-
ticipation after serving as student
volunteers and others who found it
a rewarding way to give something
back to the university while simul-
taneously helping others.

Alumni interested in AHDP can
volunteer for the actual recreational
program, or can work behind the
scenes on the board of directors,
which is currently trying to raise
funds to expand the program to
other campuses and raise national
awareness of the need for geronto-
logical programs.

Blaney says AHDP reflects the

three missions of the university,
"teaching, research, and community
involvement," but she remains
involved for another and perhaps
more important reason. "It works,"
she says. "We have so many suc-
cess stories like the 70-year-old
blind woman we had jumping on a
trampoline by the end of the sem-
ester, or the man whose wife had
just left him, had lost his job, and
was on a dozen or more prescrip-
tions when he came to us who can
now bike 5(X) miles and takes only
one heart medication. They show
the strength of the program."

AHDP gives older adults a bet-
ter sense of power over their own
health and well t>eing.

The program has one other ben-
efit as well that is not listed in the
course description but which often
occurs. That is the development of
friendships that may last a lifetime.
As Blaney says: "We bring people
together,"

Anyone interested in getting
involved with AHDP should con-
tact Nancy Blaney or Dan Levi ton
at (301)405-2528.

Library Loan Period is Extended for Classified Staff

During these times of fiscal and service cuts. Libraries Director
Joanne Hairar has announced one area of increased service to users.
After Jan, 21, 1992, the loan period at the university Libraries for
classified staff will become equivalent to that given to graduate
students, or 56 days. (Excepted will be materials that have shor-
tened loan periods for all users: the Hombake Library collection,
reserves, Nonprint Media items, and special collections.) The
change came from suggestions made by Libraries' staff members
and extends to all classified pcrsoiinel in the UM System.

RTVF's Weiss
Award

Gene Weiss, associate professor
of radio-TV-film (RTVF), was
recently awarded the 1991 Silver
Circle Award from the Washing-
ton, D.C, chapter of the National
Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences.

Established in 1986, the award
honors media professionals who
have devoted at least 25 years to
the broadcasting industry and who
have made a significant contribu-
tion to the Washington, D.C. broad-
cast community.

According to Weiss, his contri-
bution to the Washington, D.C.
broadcast community has been a
steady stream of well-trained
media professionals graduating
from the RTVF department.

Weiss came to the university in
1969. At that time, the department
(then known as the Division of
Speech and Dramatic Art) offered
only radio and TV. By 1971 film
was added, and Weiss was division
director. Weiss says the department
took a tremendous leap forward
during the eight years he headed it.
"We started to produce programm-

Receives

ing on a fairly large scale," he says.
"We tried to have students produce
material that really showed what
the possibilities were for film and
television, and were extremely suc-
cessful at that."

According to Weiss, the depart-
ment's production facility is among
the top six in the country. One stu-
dent produced an hour-long docu-
mentary on the John F, Kennedy
assassination in this facility. The
master's thesis film, called "Reason-
able Doubts," was then picked up
by the Arts & Entertainment Net-
work. This student was hired by
Dakota Films.

Weiss proudly notes that many
former students now hold respon-
sible positions all across the coun-
try in every aspect of media; vice
president of production for Walt
Disney Productions; executive pro-
ducer of "Good Morning America";
producer of "America's Most Want-
ed"; head of training and informa-
tion for Delta Airiines' in-house
production unit. One time, Weiss
says, he called George Lucas in San
Francisco and ended up talking to

Gene Weiss

a former student who was writing

and producing for Lucas.

Weiss was honored along with
22 other distinguished media pro-
fessionals, among them Joel Albert,
manager of news operations for
WRC-TV; Sophie Altman, creator
and executive producer of "It's
Academic"; Christie Basham, senior
producer of NBC's "Sunday Today
and "Meet the Press"; John Barter,
news anchor for WJLA-TV; and
Max Schindler, director of the
Washington segments of NBC's
"Today Show."

Handelman, Turner Publish Books

"Important contribution" and
"theoretical significance" are words
used to describe two books written
by English department faculty and
published this fall.

Susan Handelman, author of
Fragments of Redemption: Jewish
Thought and Literary Theory in
Benjamin, Scholem, and Levinas, says
in the book's preface, "...1 chose
these three figures because each is
a Jew engaged in mediating the
Jewish and modern worlds, as 1
am. More specifically, each has had
enormous influence on contempor-
ary ideas about language, history,
and interpretation in a variety of
fields from literary criticism to reli-
gious studies, philosophy, and
social theory."

Jose Faur, an expert and author
on Jewish thought and Talmudic
literature, says of the book, "...a
particularly important contribution
to an understanding of the emer-
gence of critical thought in the 20th
century and the intercrossing of
Jewish intellectual tradition with
modem thinking."

Originally published by Indiana
University Press, the book now is
being translated into Japanese for
publication by Hohfei University

Susan Handelman

Press.

Handelman also is the author of
The Slayers of Moses: The Emergence
of Rabbinic Interpretation in Modern
Literary Theory and coeditor of Psy-
choanalysis and Religion.

Book Focuses on Free
Women of Color in Rural South

Adele Alexander

Until well after the Civil War,
free women of color in the rural
south were often looked upon by
society as non-persons.

"Neither black nor white, afflu-
ent nor impoverished, enslaved nor
truly free, these women of color
lived and died in a shadowy realm

situated somewhere between the
legal, social, and economic
extremes of empowered whites and
subjugated blacks," says Adele
Logan Alexander, a lecturer in the
Afro-American Studies Program.

Alexander is the author of
Ambiguous Lives: Free Women of
Color in Rural Georgia, 1789-1879
(The University of Arkansas Press).
The book focuses on the women of
Alexander's own family as
representative of this subcaste of
the African -American community.

And while society may have
seen them as non-persons,
Alexander believes that their lives
are worthy of attention because of
the vciy ambiguities that
surrounded their existence.

"The intricacies, gradations, and
subtleties of their anomalous
experience became part of the
tangled skein of American history
and exemplify our country's end-
less diversity, complexity, and self-
contradictions," says Alexander.
"These are the people that America
has overlooked."

They were also people who did
not conform to the negative stereo-
type of blacks as poor, ignorant
and oppressed, says Alexander.

"When you look at free people
of color after emancipation, you see
a high percentage who became
middle class African- Americans,"

says Alexander.

Alexander first decided to write
the book when she became interest-
ed in her grandmother, who was a
suffragist.

"I thought to myself, 'What was
there about this person in the 1890s
that made her think that regardless
of gender or race, she ought to be
equal to everyone else?' " says
Alexander.

While studying her family, she
found that some free women of
color often had ties to black male
slaves, while others established
alliances with white men.

As far as looks were concerned
the members of her family were, as
she put it, often "more white than
black," but with only a few excep-
tions they remained closely tied to
the black community despite the
segregation and discriminatory pol-
icies of ttie white South.

"White society looked upon free
people of color with the attitude
that 'You folks have no real place
in our society, so we'll treat you as
much like slaves as we can,'" says
Alexander, adding that free people
of color could not vote, had few
rights of white citizens, and could
not purchase property except
through a white person.

"They were survivors," says
Alexander.

Koblinsky and Anderson Receive

$300,000 Grant to Study Homeless Preschoolers

Sally Koblinksy and Elaine
Anderson, a professor and asso-
ciate professor in the Department
of Family and Community Devel-
opment in the College of Human
Ecology, have received a $300,000
grant from the Dcparlmenl of
Health and Human Services to
study homeless preschoolers.

The three-year project will be
conducted with United Planning
Organization, a Washington, D.C,
Head Start agency. The study will
compare the development and the
self-concept of District of Columbia
Head Start preschoolers who are
homeless with Head Start pro-
schoolers in permanent housing.

The study will also explore the
relationship between family func-
tioning and child outcomes in the
two groups and examine whether
changes in children's learning and
behavior during the Head Start
year are related to family variables.

"Studies have shown that par-
ents arc the primary educators of
their children and have a signifi-
cant impact on their children's cog-
nitive, physical, and social -emo-
tional development," says
Koblinsky.

"Therefore," adds Anderson, "it
is important that educational
programs such as Head Start
acquire greater knowledge about
the mediating role of family vari-
ables — such as social support

maternal depression and family
hardiness — in children's develop-
ment."

In recent years, say Koblinsky
and Anderson, single-parent famil-
ies with children have become the
fastest growing segment of the
homeless population.

The two researchers are espe-
cially interested in observing and
understanding better the resilience
of families in the face of such
adverse conditions as homelessness
and poverty and how that, in turn,
affects the children.

Koblinsky and Anderson say
that project outcomes may help
child /family specialists. Head Start
curriculum developers and teachers
to design appropriate curricula/
teaching strategies to facilitate chil-
dren's learning and development of
self-esteem.

The two also hope that Head
Start personnel can use project
findings to help parents to acquire
better parenting and teaching skills,
to build family support networks,
to link their children to out-of-
school community resources, and
to obtain help for family problems
negatively related to the children's
functioning.

"Results of this study should
help the Head Start program to be
more a more effective resource for
families— an important benefit
since Head Start may be one of the

few community resources available
and accessible to low-income and
homeless families," says Koblinsky.
"By intervening now with these
children, we are making an invest-
ment in the future," adds
Anderson.

Students Contribute
Clothing, Stuffed
Animals

Students in the Department of
Family and Community Develop-
ment have contributed more than
60 bags of warm winter clothing
and stuffed animals to homeless
families in two Prince George's
County shelters and one county
elementary school with a large
number of homeless and poor im-
migrant families.

The clothing and toy drive was
spear-hcaded by students in the
department's Poverty and
Affluence, Family Policy and
Decision-making courses.

Maggie Puchalla, volunteer
coordinator for homeless shelter
programs in Prince George's Coun-
ty, thanked the students for their
generosity and their "awareness of
the needs of our less fortunate
neighbors."
