New Telecommunications Master's Degree Program Links
Industry with Education

As a direct response to the grow-
ing needs of the telecommunications
industry, the university is now offer-
ing a specially-designed master's
degree program for telecommunica-
tions professionals.

Developed in collaboration with
industry leaders, the program pro-
vides a cross-disciplinary approach to
telecommunications study — linking
rigorous technical training with
coursework in policy, management,
protocols, regulation and internation-
al standards. This is the only
telecommunications program in the
nation to merge technical training at
the level of strong engineering and
computer science programs with the
study of management and policy.

The idea for the program began
two years ago when a vice president
at Digital Equipment Corporation
realized that though his company
had solid technical people, many of

these future managers had little train-
ing or experience in dealing with the
complex regulatory, policy and man-
agement issues that are a growing
part of the telecommunications field.

He approached UMCP with the
idea for a new kind of program that
would serve the changing needs of
the industry.

As the idea developed, MCI and
Bell Atlantic joined Digital with fund-
ing and recommendations for the
development of the master's pro-
gram. The three companies have
committed more than $350,000 in
money and equipment.

One of the initial courses in the
program is being offered to industry
representatives this semester on a
pilot basis, and industry input is
playing an integral role in evaluating
the entire program. Four courses will
be offered each semester beginning
next fall. Both day and evening class-

es will be offered to accommodate the
work schedules of these and future
students.

According to William Destler,
chair of the Department of Electrical
Engineering, the program is the uni-
versity's first to be created in direct
response to industry needs.

"Growth in the development of
the telecommunications industry dur-
ing the past decade has surpassed
even the growth in the computer
industry," hesays. "Ourmaster's
degree program has been designed to
meet the needs of this rapidly
expanding industry."

Industry representatives have
worked closely with university facul-
ty members in the development of
the master's curricula and course
content.

"The intent," says Destler, "is to

Lynerd, Barnes Join
Institutional Advancement Staff

William Lynerd, Jr., and Lafayette
A. Barnes have joined the Office of
Institutional Advancement as assis-
tant vice president for development
and advancement officer, respectively.

Lynerd, formerly director of devel-
opment for Columbia University's
School of Engineering and Applied
Science, will be working closely with
academic and administrative divi-
sions on campus to obtain major phi-
lanthropic support for university

objectives.

Barnes will work closely with the
School of Public Affairs on its devel-
opment and public relations activi-
ties. He comes to College Park from
the Washington, DC office of Capi-
tal Group, Inc., based in Los Angeles,
where he provided analysis on policy
issues related to global investment
strategy and supervised numerous
public policy research
projects.

CESAR Looks at Juvenile Drug Abuse

continued from page 1

interviewed and tested for drug use
by urinalysis. Participation in the
study was voluntary and confiden-
tial.

Sixty-seven percent of the tested
youths were male, most between the
ages of Hand 15. The majority of
females in the study were between
the ages uf 15 and 16. Seventy-seven
percent of the males and 66 percent of
the females were African-American.

Surprisingly, 84 percent of the
males and 71 percent of the females
were attending school prior to their
admission to the juvenile center.

"Frankly, the researchers thought
most of the drug users would be
school drop-outs," said Wish. "But
what this tells us is that it is not too
late to reach these kids. By taking
active, intervention steps now while

they are still in school, we may be
able to save many of these children.
But if we wait until they are older
and out of any structured environ-
ment, we will have lost an entire gen-
eration."

Wish believes that the problem of
juvenile drug abuse is now at a criti-
cal stage.

"The problem of juvenile offender
drug abuse is much greater than most
people realize," he said. "And we
think that our study results hold true
for the rest of the nation. Drug test-
ing is an important tool for determin-
ing the extent of juvenile and adult
offender drug abuse. I believe that
the Clinton Administration needs to
focus immediately on expanding test-
ing and treatment programs for
youthful detainees. If we don't pay
attention to this problem now, we
will all pay for it later."

Four Colleges Create
New Master's Degree

make the entire program comprehen-
sive and relevant for the real world
problems telecommunications profes-
sionals face in the field."

Nearly all of the courses being
offered are newly created, specifically
for this master's program. Focusing
on applications rather than theoreti-
cal problems and research, the pro-
gram draws on the strengths of four
major colleges and schools at the uni-
versity: Engineering; Business and
Management; Computer, Mathemat-
ics and Physical Sciences; and Public
Affairs.

Because of the start-up nature of
the program and the fact that it was
designed specifically for industry,
tuition will be higher than for other
master's programs at the university.
According to Destler, industry execu-
tives have demonstrated a willing-
ness to pay a tuition that is
comparable to that of a private school
for the specialized type of education
being provided in this program.

"By combining industry and aca-
demic expertise in building this pro-
gram, students benefit from the best
talent and experience in the field,"
says Peter Brown, manager of corpo-
rate telecommunications for Digital
Equipment Corp. "We are very excit-
ed about the potential this program
offers for the future."

University's Policy on Gays and Lesbians—
No Discrimination by Sexual Orientation

President Clinton's effort to lift the
military ban on gays and lesbians has
focused national attention on the use
of sexual preference as an evaluative
criterion. Last spring, Maryland
addressed this issue when the Cam-
pus Senate voted to amend the
Human Relations Code to include
sexual orientation among the cate-
gories protected against discrimina-
tion.

Approved by a near unanimous
vote last March, the amendment has
lead to changes in employment pro-
cedures, as well as such university
publications as the declaration of stu-
dent rights, the statement on class-
room conduct, the policy on inclusive
language, the faculty handbook, and
school catalogs.

"The resolution is empowering to
gay, lesbian and bisexual faculty and
staff," says English professor Michael
Ma reuse, a member of the Lesbian
and Gay Faculty and Staff Associa-
tion.

"We serve as role models to our
students when we come forward and
identify ourselves as lesbian and
gay," Marcuse continues, "and the
new policy provides further recourse
to protect ourselves from discrimina-
tion when we do come forward."

Last spring, when Marcuse
received threatening crank phone
calls, he considered going to Human
Relations, partly because of the new
policy. "I remember thinking/ 1 have
someplace to go with this,'" he says.

Marcuse says he knows a number
of faculty members who have "come
out" as lesbian or gay since the Cam-
pus Sena te vote.

The policy does not apply to the
Maryland Air Force Reserve Officers
Training Corps, the campus branch of
the military, because federal, state
and county statutes take precedence
over the university code.

According to the Chronicle of High-
er Education, the issue of ROTC dis-
crimination bv sexual orientation has
been raised at other American uni-
versities, a number of which have
responded by withdrawing from par-
ticipation in ROTC.

"As the military goes through its
process of change, that will make it
easier for ROTC to fall into step with
the university," says Marcuse, allud-
ing to President Clinton's initiative to
lift the military ban.

Because of Maryland state guide-
lines, the new university policy does
not extend benefits to partners of uni-
versity employees who are gay and
lesbian, according to Campus Com-
pliance Officer Rodney Peterson in
the Office of Human Relations Pro-
grams.

In June, Chancellor Donald Lan-
genberg approved the amendment in
a letter to President William Kirwan.

"I too am an advocate of the belief
that individuals should not be treated
differently because of factors unrelat-
ed to academic or job performance,"
Langenberg wrote in the letter. "Our
society, and especially higher educa-
tion, cannot sanction discrimination."

"This isn't an issue we've had to
fight alone," Peterson notes. "The
debate on gays in the military and the
election year have cast a spotlight on
gay and lesbian rights."

— Soil}/ Grmmtstein

The New Policy

Below is the text of the resolution
on nondiscrimination as to sexu-
al orientation:

WHEREAS, the University of
Maryland believes that its educa-
tional and employment decisions
should be based on individuals'
abilities and qualifications and
should not be based on factors or-
personal characteristics which
have no connection with academic
abilities or job performance.

THEREFORE, be it resolved
by the Campus Senate (1) that it
is the policy and commitment of
the University of Maryland at
College Park not to discriminate
on the basis of race, color, creed,
sex, sexual orientation, marital
status, personal appearance, age,
national origin, political affilia-
tion, physical or mental handicap
or on the basis of the exercise of
rights secured by the First
Amendment of the United States
Constitution in its education pro-
grams, activities, admissions, or
employment policies, and
(2) that the President should ini-
tiate actions to revise University
policies and documents to reflect
this policy.

Pearson Receives Grammy Nomination

Barry Lee Pearson, a university
English professor, has been nominat-
ed for a Grammy award for his CD,
"The Roots of Rhythm and Blues: A
Tribute to the Robert Johnson Era."

The CD, which has been nominat-
ed for Best Traditional Blues Album,
is a compilation of Johnson's music,
music performed by Johnson's peers,
and modern music influenced by
Johnson's work.

A joint venture between the
Smithsonian Institution and
Columbia Records, the compilation
was co -produced bv Pearson, Don
DeVito, Worth Long, and Ralph Rin-
zler.

Other nominees for Best Tradition-
al Blues Album include: Charles
Brown's "Someone to Love;"
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's "No

Looking Back;" John 1 lammond's
"Cot Love If You Want It;" and Dr.
John's "Going Back to New Orleans."

"I'm very fortunate to be in this
situation," Pearson says. "The other
nominees are primarily singers, but
since this is a compilation [the
National Academy of Recording Arts
and Sciencesl listed the producers.
It's a great honor."

Will he win?

"! think the chances are pretty
good," Pearson says. "The others
want to win it for the glory. So do l.
But I think this has a higher purpose;
it's an excellent vehicle to learn more
about Robert Johnson's music."

The Grammy Awards will be held
February 24 in Los Angeles.
