A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR FACULTY AND STAFF AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AT COLLEGE PARK
NOVEMBER 22. 1993
VOLUME 8, NUMBER 12
The Children's Place
Center for Young Children Aims to Become Model Facility
The Center for Young Children officially opened in September 1993 and already has 100 children
of UMCP faculty, staff and students enrolled. Activities at the center range from reading books
and making art to just plain having fun.
Play's the thing — and laughter
and learning — on Valley Drive.
Tucked away behind Denton Com-
munity, you'll find 100 of College
Park's youngest and most enthusiastic
students. They're the three-, four- and
five-year-olds who fill the classrooms
at the Center for Young Children.
Officially opened for business in
September, the center already has a
waiting list. When completed this
spring, it will house 120 children in
three classrooms for three- year-olds,
two classrooms for four-year-olds,
and one kindergarten class.
The modern, airy facility features a
great room off of which are class-
rooms filled with the children's color-
ful art and happy noises. In one
room, little ones gather 'round while
a teacher reads from a favorite book.
In another, art is the agenda. And
unobtrusively watching some of the
classes are UMCP students who view
the toddlers from one of three spe-
cially-designed observation rooms.
But this center is about more than
day care. It's about joining together
the best the university has to offer in
a working relationship that benefits
both these pint-sized freshmen and
the campus.
A child care facility is nothing new
to the College Park campus. In 1965,
the College of Education created and
housed what is considered a more
traditional nursery school consisting
of a half-day program restricted to
children ages four and five. But as the
center's needs changed it was moved
to Cambridge Hall.
When the Department of Human
Development was asked to take over
the facility two years ago, renova-
tions would have cost $250,000, says
Robert Hardy, chairman of the
department. "We figured if we were
going to spend that much to repair
Cambridge Hall, why not use the
money to build a new center
instead."
The new center is a combination
child development lab and child care
facility, savs Fran Favretto, director of
the Center for Young Children,
Favretto, who obtained both her mas-
ter's degree and Ph.D. from College
Park, intends to make the center part
of the whole university, she says.
Already, the Horticulture Depart-
ment has been brought in to develop
a landscape plan for the center. When
it comes time to plant, the children
will lend their green thumbs to the
job. Hearing and speech communica-
tions students conduct research at the
center and music education students
will share their talents with the chil-

Team Maryland Wins Highest Award among
Nation's Division I Institutions
Team Maryland members met recently with students from Calverton Elementary School.
Each semester, 25 scholar-athletes
add a new team to their list of accom-
plishments — Team Maryland. And
now, the two-year old community
service and leadership development
program for scholar-athletes has been
recognized as the best outreach pro-
gram among 163 Division 1 NCAA
institutions. Matt Haas, director of
Team Maryland, was on hand in
Boston on Friday, Nov. 12, to receive
the Outreach and Community Service
Program of the Year Award from the
Rev. Jesse Jackson at the National
Consortium for Academics and
Sports (an NCAA affiliate) annual
awards banquet.
The award recognizes programs
that send student athletes into the
community to use their role model
status to educate the public on issues
such as alcohol and drug abuse, the
importance of education, handgun
control, teenage pregnancy and self-
esteem.
Since receiving the award, Haas
has had calls from universities eager
to learn how they can replicate the
program. He is not surprised because
Haas believes Team Maryland is a
natural way to bridge academics and
sports in a meaningful way.
Team Maryland is part of a new
program for scholar-athletes devel-
oped by Georgia Sorenson, director
of the Center for Political Leadership
and Participation, and Andy Geiger,
athletic director. The program pro-
motes leadership development and
awareness of community responsibil-
ities. Sorenson says, "Research shows
that young people will only hear a
message from someone who is no
more than eight years older than
themselves,"
Each semester 25 junior and senior
students involved in the university's
varsity athletic program take their
message to area schools. Haas says
that so far this semester, they have
spoken to 5,800 students. "We are
going to six schools this week alone,"
says Haas. While the group likes to
reach the vulnerable middle school
students, they reach out to elemen-
tary and high school students as
well — tailoring their messages to the
age of the audience.
The message of Team Maryland is
'You Can Make It Happen' and team
members talk about personal experi-
ences while emphasizing the impor-
Open Enrollment to be Held from Nov. 22-Dec. 8
The State of Maryland Department
of Personnel announces that the
health insurance open enrollment
period will be held from Monday,
Nov. 22 through Wednesday, Dec. 8.
This open enrollment is voluntary.
Any changes made during this peri-
od will become effective Jan. 1, 1994.
An employee who does not submit
a 1994 enrollment form by Dec. 8 will
be enrolled in the same programs
which were in effect in 1993. Employ-
ees wishing to continue to set aside a
portion of their salary into a Health
Care or Dependent Care Spending
Account for next year must complete
an enrollment form during this open
enrollment period.
The State Department of Personnel
is sending information, along with
the 1994 Health Insurance Enrollment
Form, to every employee at their
home address.
UMCP's Personnel Services
Department is sending a letter to
everyone on campus regarding the
open enrollment, including the 1994
bi-weekly health insurance premiums
for employees. To assist employees in
understanding the programs avail-
able, the department has invited rep-
resentatives from the health
organizations to be available at a
Fiealth Line Informational Fair on
Monday, Nov. 29, from 1 1 a.m. to 3
p.m., in the Grand Ballroom Lounge,
Stamp Student Union.

open enrollment, please call the bene-
fits office at 405-5654.
tance of self-esteem, obtaining an
education, setting goals, working
hard to attain them, and avoiding
alcohol and drugs. "We bring an
arsenal of statistics with us," says
Haas,
The program has proved so popu-
lar among campus athletes that Haas
has to accept students into the pro-
gram on a first-come basis. The stu-
dents are required to take a course in
leadership development and to main-
tain a 2,7 average. He emphasizes
t h a t pa rt i c i pa n ts a re d ra w n f ro m t he
full range of varsity sports. He notes,
too, that for the audience they are try-
ing to reach it doesn't matter if a foot-
ball starora member of the women's
swim team, the important thing is
that take the time to visit with the
students and listen to them.
While Team Maryland gives a
great deal to young people through-
out the state, they get much in return.
"The real purpose of the program is
leadership education for the mem-
bers of Team Maryland. That's why
we're doing it. It's part of the curricu-
lum, part of their experience here and
it needs to be thought of that way,"
says Geiger.

Conference Seeks to Break Down Racial Barriers in the Work Place
Last year, while Los Angeles
burned in the aftermath of the Rod-
ney King verdict, Michael Nacht took
note. The dean of the School of Public
Affairs put together a conference on
race relations in America that caught
the attention of more than 250 faculty
and students from across the campus.
On Friday, Dec. 3, a second confer-
ence, "Breaking Down Racial Barriers
in the Work Place: Successful Models
for Diversity," wrestles with all man-
ner of provocative questions and
begins to actually answer them. The
conference, to be held from 8 a.m. to
1 p.m., in theTyser Auditorium, Van
Munching Hall, is presented by the
School of Public Affairs along with
the Afro American Studies Program,
College of Business and Manage-
ment, and the Campus-Wide Steering
Committee for Diversity Initiative
1993-94.
The conference is divided equally
between two panels (including J.
Alphonso Brown, an appointee to the
Glass Ceiling Commission of the U.S.
Department of Labor; Barbara
Reynolds, a member of the editorial
board of USA Today, Lawrence Otis
G ra h a m , a u th or o f The Bes t Co n i \ a n i '£$
for Minorities; and Dr. Peter Kwong,
director of Asian-American Studies at
Hunter College) and two question-
and -answer periods.
"The objective," says Lafayette
Barnes, director of external relations
at the School of Public Affairs, "is
that at the end of the conference, the
audience will walk awav with some
solutions — with a feeling that there
are some policies and programs that
are working."
And, with a fervor that, whatever
their organization, whatever their
work environment, they will find a
way to apply it.
Currently, four lectures, each one
dealing with a subject as fresh and
fiercely debated as today's headlines,
are being looked at: race relations and
Native Americans; relations between
Asian-Americans and African-Ameri-
cans; relations between Arab-Ameri-
cans and Jewish-Americans; and race
relations at UMCP.
For more information about the
Dec. 3 conference, please contact the
School of Public Affairs at 405-6330.

Children's Place
continued from page 1
dren.
Even while still on the drawing
board, the university enlisted its
Department of Engineering and
Architectural Services to develop
schematics for the potential builder.
Catherine Jones, design manager on
the project, says her office created a
skeletal set of specifications. The con-
tract was awarded to a design-build
team.
As the mother of two children
who were enrolled in the university's
child care facility, Jones had a vested
interest in seeing the new center
built. But she also provided a special
perspective on the project. "As the
center was being built, we invited the
children to tour the new site and let
them see what was happening," says
Jones. She also visited the students to
talk to them about what an architect
does.
And when the concrete lor the
new playground was poured, the
children all were invited to put their
handprints in the wet cement. "Now
the kids can see their handprints and
feel they had a part in the new build-
ing," says Jones.
Designing a building for children,
says Jones, was a nice departure from
other buildings on campus that she's
helped design, "This center has a
peek-a-boo design that savs I'm a
different building.'" Each room has
its own front door with a covered
pediment, savs Jones. And each class-
room was painted a different color.
Jazzy f 1 oo r d es i g n s i n so me room s
and a sunrise designed into the front
door gable are added touches that
make the place special.
To make the center accessible to
faculty, staff and students with
young children, savs Favretto, the

enrollment fees are on a sliding scale
based on family income. And a lot-
tery in the spring, equally weighted
among faculty, staff and students,
determines which students will be
attending.
Favretto notes that the center has a
culturally-diverse mix of students.
When the school first opened, she
says, 1 1 of the 20 students enrolled in
one three-year-old class did not
speak English,
Staff at the center consists of
Favretto, an assistant director, Ann
Daniel, and ten teachers. In each
classroom, says Favretto, there is one
master's and one bachelor's degree
teacher. In addition student aides are
trained to assist at the center.
The developmental ly-appropri ate
curriculum, says Hardy, makes the
Center for Young Children a stand-
out. "There's teaching there, but it's
not forced on the children," he says.
And there's an emphasis on the chil-
dren's art. "It's more the children's
building."
Carol Seefeldt, a professor in the
Department of I luman Development
who was instrumental in bringing the
center to being, envisioned a state-of-
the-art complex. She savs her goal is
to have the center serve as a world-
wide model.
"Italy has a program of child care
centers that are stunningly beauti-
ful," says Seefeldt. "People travel
from all over the world to see these
centers." But she envisions that Col-
lege Park, rich with resources, should
attract the attention of child care
experts as well.
"We have had really wonderful
support from the university," says
Hardy. And Catherine Jones echoes
those sentiments. "The center is an
important first step in addressing
child care needs on campus," says
Jones. "Now that it's finally here, I
hope the campus will use it as a
resource,"

Court Finds in Favor of University in Banneker Scholarship Case
U.S. District Court Judge J. Freder-
ick Motz today ruled that the race-
based Banneker Scholarship program
at the University of Maryland at Col-
lege Park should be allowed to con-
tinue in that the program is an
appropriate response to past discrim-
ination at the university.
In his opinion on the case of Pod-
Ivri'sky vs. Kirwan, Motz noted that:
"The question posed in this case is
whether a public university, racially
segregated by law for almost a centu-
ry and actively resistant to integra-
tion for at least 20 years thereafter,
may — after confronting the injustice
of its past — voluntarily seek to reme-
dy the resulting problems of its pre-
sent, by spending one percent of its
financial aid budget to provide schol-
arships to approximately 30 high-
achieving African- American students
each year." Based on Motz's finding,
the answer is an unequivocal "yes."
"I am immensely pleased that the
District Court has ruled in favor of
the university," President William E.
Kirwan says. "The finding frees us to
continue one of our most effective
tools in addressing the lingering
effects of past injustices by the insti-
tution."
Kirwan notes that, among the pre-
dominant ethnic and racial groups in
Maryland, only blacks remain under-
represented at College Park when
compared to the proportion they rep-
resent in the general population.
Banneker Scholarships are four-
year awards given to academically-
talented African-American freshmen.
Approximately 25 new awards are
made each year. The scholarships
provide full financial support for all
four years, covering tuition, room,
board, fees and book expenses.
In his 60-page opinion. Mot/
observed that in the past 15 years
"the university has earnestly taken
steps to remedy its history of segre-
gation. Its efforts have born fruit."
Still, Motz noted, there are four
effects of the university's past dis-
crimination that persist to the present
within the African- American commu-
"The finding frees us to
continue one of our most
effective tools in
addressing the lingering
effects of past injustices
by the institution, "

nity and with African Americans
attending the university: a poor repu-
tation of the university, especially
among parents and high school coun-
selors; under-representation in the
student population; low retention
and graduation rates; and percep-
tions of a hostile campus climate.
"It is worthy of note," the judge
said in a footnote to the opinion,
"that the university is (to put it mild-
ly) in a somewhat unusual situation.
It is not often that a litigant is
required to engage in extended self-
criticism in order to justify its pursuit
of a goal that it deems worthy.
"All other matters aside," he con-
tinued, "UMCP administrators are to
be commended for the moral courage
that they have demonstrated in
undertaking this self-examination
with an admirable degree of candor."
The ruling comes after three years
of litigation that began with the filing
of a suit against the university in Dis-
trict Court by Daniel Podberesky
challenging the university's Banneker
Scholarship program on the basis that
the scholarships were unfairly not
available to him because he is not
African American.
The District Court had originally
ruled that the Banneker Scholarships
did not violate the law, but on appeal
by Podberesky, the U.S. Court of
A p p ea 1 s re v e rsed the I u w er cou rt
decision, ruling that the District
Court erred when it "failed to make a
specific finding" of "some present
effect of past discrimination," and
remanded the case to District Court
for a determination on the past dis-
crimination issue.
The university undertook an
intensive self-studv and issued a
report on its findings last April. The
report acknowledged that, because of
discriminatory practices in Maryland
schools until the mid-1950s, negative
perceptions linger with some minori-
ty populations. These perceptions,
the internal study found, form a valid
basis for such proactive efforts as the
Banneker Scholarship program.
Motz's opinion establishes that
UMCP has convincingly established
to the court's satisfaction that such a
"present effect of past discrimina-
tion" does exist.
Prince George's County Teachers Use Interactive Television to Infuse
Multi-Cultural Literature into Their Curriculum
Interactive television is giving
more than 100 Prince George's Coun-
ty middle and secondary school
English teachers a much-needed
opportunity to diversify their curricu-
lum. The Interactive Television Pro-
gram in Prince George's County is
being used by UMCP to deliver its
African- American Literature Lecture
Series.
The six-part series originates from
Bonnie F. Johns Educational Media
Center, where as many as 20 teachers
are in attendance. Prom there, it is
broadcast to up to 90 teachers located
in six high schools, including Fair-
mont, Forestville, Friendly, Largo,
Potomac and Surra ttsvi lie.
"The ability to reach more teachers
by making programs more conve-
nient for them is extremely impor-
tant," says Rojulene (Morris, language
arts supervisor for Prince George's
Countv schools.
The series, titled, "Private
Lives/ Public Voices: Positioning the
African- American Woman's Voice
Within American Literacy and Cul-
tural Traditions," began Oct. 13 and
runs through April 13, 1994.
"There is little question that the
1990s will be the decade in which the
fact of ethnic diversity in our schools
and country at large is increasingly
recognized and dealt with," says
Maynard Mack, Jr., co-director of
UMCP's Center Alliance for Sec-
ondary School Teachers and Texts
(CAST), which developed the pro-
gram in direct response to the needs
of Maryland's secondary school
teachers. "Teachers must play a major
role in determining how curricula are
diversified and must be given oppor-
tunities to study new material in
depth so that the new texts excite
them as much ,-is the traditional
texts."
The African- American Literature
Lecture Series was presented previ-
ously in Howard and Baltimore coun-
ties, and received rave reviews. "You
made one white male long to read,
learn and appreciate much more in
this area," said one teacher.
IntriviL live telo\ jsion also is being
used by CAST in Baltimore, where
teachers are participating in a "Multi-
cultural Poetry by Women" series via
public access television station
Channel 36.

Policy on Faculty Termination Is Key Issue
of November Senate Meeting
On Thursday, Nov. 11, the College
Park Senate considered several important
Hems of business. After briefly reviewing
many of these, I will use the remaining
space to elaborate on the key issue facing
the Senate and the faculty at College
Park: the policy tm terminating faculty
appointments during a financial
emergency.
Academic Advising: The Student
Caucus offered a resolution to
improve academic advising with spe-
cific features such as mandatory first-
year advising and a junior-year audit.
Although the Educations] Affairs
Committee is now reviewing the
Provost's report on advising for 1992-
1993, progress on this important issue
lias been slow. An unfortunately-
timed quorum call cut short debate
just as the Senate prepared to vote to
send the resolution to committee;
however, the Executive Committee
will next week refer the Student Cau-
cus resolution for joint review by the
Educational Affairs and Student
Affairs committees.
Double Degrees and Double
Majors: This long-standing item of
business was approved by the Senate.
The amended policy removes
ambiguous language about "signifi-
cant overlap" in double major pro-
grams which has resulted in
conflicting interpretations across
campus. Students earning double
majors will now have to complete the
requirements of each major as well as
receive preliminary and final
approval of their program from both
departments. Students earning dou-
ble degrees must complete a total of
150 credits with at least 18 credits
unique to the second degree.
Graduate Certificate in Environ-
mental Policy: The Senate approved
a proposal for a School of Public
Affairs graduate certificate program
in environmental policy. This propos-
al is the first of several professional
development programs that the Sen-
ate will consider this year as College
Park becomes more active in offering
continuing education programs to the
business and scientific communities.
These new programs represent a sig-
nificant departure from our typical
way of doing business on campus.
They raise crucial questions: Who
will teach in such programs? Who
will design and oversee them? How
will academic standards be main-
tained? Plow much will students pay
for such programs? Who will benefit
if such programs turn a profit? These
and other questions deserve careful
consideration; Provost Fallon has
appointed a taskforce which will
attempt to develop the principles that
will guide College Park's new efforts
in continuing education.
Termination of Faculty Appoint-
ments: The Senate unanimously
endorsed the System-wide Resolution
on Termination of Faculty Appoint-
ments During a Financial Emergency
approved at an Oct. 23 meeting of
Senate Chairs from 1 1 of the UMS
institutions. That resolution stated
that no policy or procedures concern-
ing termination of appointments will
be recognized by the UMS faculties
unless five basic principles are
accepted by System Administration:
1} that faculty participate fully in the
development of such policies at each
institution, 2) that a clear definition of
"financial emergency" be included in
the policy, 3) that termination of
appointments due to discontinuance
of an academic unit be treated dis-
tinctly from termination of appoint-
ments due to financial emergency, 4)
that individual faculty members not
be targeted by the procedures for ter-
mination, and 5) that each institution

Final design concept submissions
arc due bv Feb. 7, 1994. Then a panel
of seven jurors, including distin-
guished architects, universitv and
state representatives, will evaluate
the finalists' submissions and make a
recommendation to the selection
board, comprised of DCS profession-
als and a university representative,
which will review the ranking and
determine if negotiations should
begin with the highest-ranked firm
by Feb. 11,1994.
The international design competi-
tion drew responses from 199 firms
which submitted letters of interest to
DCS. In the end, 41 firms made initial
proposals, from which ten were
selected and further narrowed to five.
The nearly 295,000 square-foot
Performing Arts Center will be one of
the largest and most complex projects
in the history of UMCP. Its primary
use will be in teaching of the per-
forming arts: music, theater, opera
and dance. The center also will offer
performances bv local artists and per-
forming arts groups such as the
Prince George's Philharmonic and
the Maryland Opera Society. The
building will house performance
facilities, practice and rehearsal
spaces, classrooms, offices and a per-
forming arts library.
Construction will begin in spring

ready for use by 1999.
may develop its own policies and
procedures as long as no provisions ■
conflict with the system-mandated
common language.
The College Park Senate approved
our institutional policy in October
1992, and then again in April 1993
when system administration required
that each institution include specified
"common language" in its policy.
President Kirwan forwarded that
document for review by the system
and the Attorney General's Office.
Only last month did we receive a
response. Our policy had been edited
and red lined in unacceptable ways.
Most crucial, the key passage — defin-
ing financial emergency as "an
extraordinary fiscal crisis that threat-
ens the essential functions of this
institution as a whole and cannot be
alleviated bv less drastic means than
the premature termination of tenured
or tenure- track faculty appoint-
ments"— had been deleted. In a meet-
ing on Oct. 13, representatives from
the provost and president's office and
the Senate met with system officials
to insist that such a definition remain
in the policy. We have not heard any-
thing further from the system since.
Other system institutions have
fared less well. UMAB, Coppin State
and the University of Baltimore all
have had their "retrenchment" poli-
cies approved bv the Chancellor —
either without adequate faculty
consultation or despite vehement fac-
ulty objection. This series of events,
threatening the rights of faculty

Learning from Lincoln
Students Give 20th Century Twist to Famous Speech
"The world will little note, nor
long remember what we say here, hut
it can never forget what they did
here." Those words were spoken by
President Abraham Lincoln on Nov.
19, 1863 when he dedicated a national
cemetery at Gettysburg, site of the
only battle waged on Northern soil
during the Civil War.
An account of the day indicates
that Lincoln glanced at a slip of paper
and in a little less than three minutes
finished what has become one of the
most famous speeches in the English
language: The Gettysburg Address.
At the time, however, he considered
it a failure. Furthermore, it received
little public attention. Only a few rec-
ognized it as one of the finest speech-
es ever crafted.
With Lincoln's eloquent brevity in
mind, the Honors Program and the
Office of Campus Programs spon-
sored an essay contest open to all
UMCP undergraduate students. The
task: to rewrite Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address. Entries had to be exactly
272 words — the same number Lin-
coln used in his moving speech.
Judges were asked to look for creativ-
ity and uniqueness of ideas, pro-
foundness/significance of message
and quality of writing.
As soon as Teresa Shirlen heard
about the essay contest in a speech
class she knew that she would enter.
But getting the right words down on
paper was a bit more difficult. Then
one day, Martin Luther King's inspi-
rational "1 Have a Dream" speech
was the topic in class. That did it. "1
came home and wrote the speech in
an hour. I was really inspired by
what he said," says Shirlen. So much
so that she incorporated a reference
to King in her essay, which captured
first place.
Speech -writing comes naturally to
this senior from Wheaton. She is
majoring in Secondary Education
f77te «_. imejHca/i *. €t/d^&f^
"Tenser j re and seventeen years ago, a grand nation was conceived and
dedicated to the proposition that alt are created equal.
Sixscore and ten years ago, a great American addressed this nation on tfje
division that threatened its existence.
Wirty years ago, another great American stood in the "symbolic shadow"
of the first and again addressed the nation on this division.
Today I sadly bring you similar words.
The first addressed a division by war. The second, a division created by
law. Today, I speak on a division created by attitude.
All are equally dangerous. All leave our country broken and bleeding.
tint, while war turned into peace and laws were amended, I do not see the
reversal of the disunity that thrives on prejudice in this rial ton.
Tl.w cannons had to stop, someone had to win; the laws had to change,
they were morally wrong; but who will step forward to change
the personal ignorance that causes confusion in a new generation —
a generation that is told to respect everyone, but when searching
for role models demonstrating this command, can find so Jew?
When can we join diversity to unity? When can we begin to learn
from each other about that which makes us different?
When can we mark a day in history as the day we began to appreciate
our fellow citizens and live without preconceived notions and wrongful fears?
This change can only be born in each person's heart. No gun can force it,
no law can change it, but each person must examine themselves and choose to
replace the hatred and division with fairness and love for all people. "

Speech and English. Folk) wing grad-
uation in December 1994, she is con-
sidering three choices at the moment:
going directly into high school teach-
ing, launching into a career teaching
public speaking skills to business
people or heading for graduate
school for speech communications or
student affairs.
Shirlen stays in the public eve out-
side pf class, too. She is a tour guide
with the Maryland Images program
which shows campus life to prospec-
tive students. She also works at the
Visitor Center two davs each week
and is co- president of the Under-
graduate Teachers Education Associ-
ation.
The second place winner, Sean
Thomas Smith, learned of the contest
from Professor Andrew Wolvin's
speech- writing class. Smith says he
mulled over the essay for about a
month aiui then, the night before the
contest deadline, put it to paper.
"The hardest part was having il
exactlv 272 words," says Smith, 1 le
attributes his experience as an editor
of his high school newspaper for
helping him with his cupv-fitting
abilities.
Of his reworked address, Smith
says: "I wanted to draw some paral-
lel to today. 1 try to keep up with
social issues for there are very impor-
tant matters which are not being
addressed."
As for Smith's future, he thinks
that speech writing may be more
than a fleeting fancy, Since taking
Wolvin's class, he has become inter-
ested in pursuing it as a career. But
for the moment, graduation next
month is his main concern.
Third place winner is Joseph Pel-
letier, a junior student from Laurel
who is majoring in Government and
Politics. Asked why he entered, Pel-
letier recalls that he saw an
announcement in the Dimnontllwck
and became interested. "1 enjov writ-
ing and it sounded like fun," he says.
Pelletier took a world view in his
reworked a d d res s, ci t i n g America's
role as protector to other nations. In
other honors, on Nov. 19, Pelletier
was inducted into the Golden Kev
Honor Society.
Faculty judges included Mavnard
Mack in Undergraduate Studies,
Robert Dorfman, Institute for Physi-
cal Science and Technology, Karen
Harris, Special Education, and Ralph
Bennett, Architecture.
James Osteen, director of the
Office of Campus Programs, says
th.it although the final number of
entries was 23, the contest prompted
discussion in numerous classes. "I
was impressed with the overall qual-
ity of the entries," savs Osteen.

Postcards From Los Angeles
History Teaching Assistant Competes on "Jeopardy"
Jacqueline Moore asked all the
right answers to do something that
most will never do: she won on
"Jeopardy."
On previously taped shows, which
aired on Nov, 3 and 4, Moore won
SI 3,400 and a trip to Bermuda, She
said that she's going to use the
money to complete her dissertation in
U.S. History.
"I have a 'Jeopardy' fellowship,
plus a vacation," she says.
Moore, a teaching assistant in the
History Department, attended a con-
testant search for the nationally syn-
dicated game show in April in
Atlantic City, N.J. She and other
"Jeopardy" hopefuls were given a
10-cjuestion screening test and told,
"We'll call you." Most people don't
make it past this first cut, but Moore
did and was called back in June to
participate in a mock version of the
show and auditions.
LSecause five shows are taped in
one day, a total of 13 possible contes-
tants are asked to be present on a
given day of taping and are chosen
randomly to be contestants.
"They ask you to bring three out-
fits total, in case you're on more than
one show," Moore says.
Moore was able to use at least two
of her three outfits when she showed
up for taping on Aug. 30. She won
her first show and earned second
place on the second.
As foT meeting Alex Trebek, the
host, she didn't get to. Trebek is not
allowed to meet with contestants
because he knows all of the questions
to the answers.
Each show is taped as if it were
live, so contestants had to turn
around during commercial breaks so
that they couldn't look at the game
board, Moore says.
Moore was asked to write down
six interesting things about herself, so
that Trebek could talk about one dur-
ing the introduction of the contestants.
"He asked about mv postcards,"
she says. "[ collect wacky postcards,
ones that are supposed to be serious
but are cornv. Mv favorite is one of
J J
the New Jersey Turnpike."
Moore accomplished exactly what
she wanted to on "Jeopardy."
"I told all of my friends before I
left that if I could win the monev one
day and win the vacation the next, 1
would be happy," she says.
