Comcast Exercises Option to Include Floor
Naming Rights in New Arena

Terps Earn
Top Prize,

Comcast Corp. has exercised an option in its
naming-rights agreement for the university's new
arena to include naming rights for the playing
floor.

By exercising the option, Comcast's naming
rights gift has increased from $20 million to $25
million, making it the largest known corporate
naming gift in the United States for a collegiate
athletic facility. In January, officials from Comcast
and the university announced the gift as part of
a business partnership that also includes provid-
ing cable television services to university resi-
dence halls.

The $25 million gift is the largest single dona-
tion to the university and represents a significant
portion of the university's share of the cost of
construction on the planned Comcast Center,
which will replace the aging Cole Field House.

"This generous addition to Comcast's already
large gift to the University of Maryland is greatly
appreciated," says President Dan Mote, "It signifies
the enormous value Comcast places on a partner-
ship with us. We are very grateful for the confi-
dence and support of all our friends at Comcast."

"We are thrilled to include the floor of the
new Comcast Center as part of our naming
rights agreement with the University of Mary-
land," says Jaye Gamble, regional vice president
for Comcast's Washington Metro/Virginia Region.

"As a national leading telecommunications com-
pany, Comcast looks forward to continuing its
support of educational excellence at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, one of the most prestigious
public institutions of higher learning in the
nation, as well as a leader in its information tech-
nology programs."

"We are extremely pleased that Comcast has
elected to include the floor as part of its naming
rights agreement," says Director of Athletics Deb-
orah Yow." It is fitting that Comcast will have
naming rights inside and outside the Comcast
Center."

Comcast, which provides cable service in
Prince George's and 15 other Maryland counties,
will provide basic cable, with dozens of chan-
nels, to all residence hall rooms beginning this
fall. Comcast will have its name on one of the
most visible collegiate athletic facilities in the
nation, including the playing floor, and will have
major marketing opportunities within the arena,
including the most prominent advertising loca-
tions.

The university plans to raise another $20 mil-
lion for its share of construction costs through
additional major gifts and through a campaign
that will make available 1 ,600 of the Comcast
Center's 17,000 seats to major gift donors.

Tech-Savvy Teens from 28 States Converge On
Campus to Address Digital Divide

More than 160 tech-sawy teens and 40 adult
educators from 28 states gathered at the Univer-
sity of Maryland last week for the first-ever
National 4-H Technology Conference. Their goal:
to "slam shut" the digital divide.

The conference, which made use of computer
labs, teaching theaters, and classrooms on cam-
pus, grew out of online conversations early last
year among three teens, including Shelley
Armour, a junior in die College of Agricultare
and Natural Resources. During their Internet
chats, the three discovered that they were each
interested and involved in ideas and activities
integrating technology and community service.

"Technology is moving so fast," says Armour.
"We want to expand our knowledge and skills,
share the knowledge and teach those skills to
others, and get all communities involved."

Eventually, other people joined the conversa-
tion, which led to a conference proposal. With
support from National 4-H, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and several land-grant universities,
including Maryland, the proposal became a suc-
cessful reality.

"It was a unique opportunity for youth and
adult leaders to network with their peers not
only for their own benefit but also that of their
communities," says Kendra Wells, 4-H specialist
with the College of Agriculture and Natural
Resources' Maryland Cooperative Extension.

Through 10 focus groups and 28 workshops,
conference participants exchanged ideas, experi-
ences, and resources, and taught and learned

The Foundation for Our Future

It's the beginning of a new era of private support for the
University of Maryland.

The University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Inc.,
an affiliated 501 (c)(3) organization authorized by the Board
of Regents, now accepts, receipts and manages new charita-
ble gifts in support of the mission of the University of Mary-
land, College Park. The foundation became fully operational
July 1.

The new foundation's purpose is to foster private support
for the university, promote wider visibility for its economic
and research programs, strengthen the university's economic
development role in the state and provide the opportunity to
build a portfolio of investments that will support and
enhance the university's growth and initiatives in perpetuity.

On June 23, the officers and members of the new Universi-
ty of Maryland College Park Foundation Board of Trustees
were elected.The Board of Trustees will govern the invest-
ment and distribution of private funds on behalf of the uni-
versity.

"The importance of an institutionally related foundation
cannot be over-emphasized ," says President Dan Mote. "For
the first time, we have an organization exclusively dedicated
to accomplishing the objectives of the university's strategic
plan and a group of individuals personally committed to the
success of this campus." Previously, private gifts were man-
aged through the University System of Maryland's foundation,
along with the funds of some of the state's other higher edu-
cation institutions and research centers.

In Memoriam

George Snow, Professor Emeritus of Physics

George Snow, 73, professor
emeritus of physics, died June
24 after suffering a stroke. He is
survived by his wife, lila Snow,
and their three children,
Andrew, Zachary and Sara.

A memorial service is
planned tor Tuesday, Aug. 29 at
10 a.m., in Memorial Chapel.

Snow, who earned his Ph.D.
in physics from Princeton Uni-
versity in 1949, was professor
of physics at the University of
Maryland from 1957-1992. He
served as acting chair of the
physics department from 1970-
1971.

His research contributions in
experimental and phenomeno-
logical high-energy physics had
a considerable impact on the
field. Beginning in 1958, he
established and led the High
Energy Physics Group at Mary-
land, which gained a reputation
as one of the strongest groups
in the country. Snow led this
group until his retirement.

Since his retirement In 1992,
he remained active in both

experimental physics and in the
university. He chaired the divi-
sion of particles and fields of
the American Physical Society,
was a member of the High
Energy Physics Advisory Panel
to the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion and the Board of Trustees
of the University Research Asso-
ciation, Inc., and chaired many
other advisory and review
boards for organizations and
laboratories.

In 1986, former physics
department chair John Toll
remarked, "The arrival of George
Snow at the University of Mary-
land was an indication that we
were going to be a leading uni-
versity in high energy physics,
and he has been our leader in
both theory and experiment for
over three decades, remarkably
inspiring others to his high stan-
dards. He has been the Universi-
ty of Maryland's equivalent of
Fermi, equally adept at theory
and experiment, teaching and
research."

Personnel Services Training Room Upgrade*

The Personnel Services Department training room is being
upgraded for the first time to help meet the technological chal-
lenges of today's workplace. The room, which is used for classes
including faculty and staff administrative training and Perfor-
mance Review & Development courses, will get updated equip
ment taking advantage of the latest audio-video, computer and
Internet technology.

Located in the Chesapeake Building, the room was state-of-
the-art when it was built in 1991 but was showing signs of age.
Marvin Pyles, assistant director of organizational development
and training, and others in the department decided it was time
for an upgrade.The room will get a new VCR, projector, sound
system and other equipment; however, the focus of the new
classroom will be computer technology.

Pyles looked to the computer-assisted classrooms at the Pat*
apsco Training Facility and the Computer and Space Sciences
Building to provide examples. "We wanted to create a true tech-
nology classroom to integrate the technology into the training,"
Pyles says.

With the upgrades, a permanent computer will enable
instructors to use Microsoft PowerPoint and other computer
presentation software, and there will be networked computers
for all course participants. Additionally, faculty and staff will be
able to use CD-ROMs and other technology, allowing them more
freedom to self-schedule training sessions.

The upgrade will occur in two phases, the first of which cost
$21,000 and should be completed this month. It consisted of
upgrading the technology and providing a permanent computer
with a touch screen and projector for the instructor.

The second phase, which will cost between $60,000 and
$80,000, will consist of providing Internet jacks and computers
for all class participants.

Pending the availability of funds, the goal is to complete this
phase during the fall semester.

The department also is considering the installation of video
cameras, which will allow courses to be broadcast across cam-
pus. The upgrade, which is being supervised by the Office of
Information Technology, will help the department keep pace
with technology, Pyles says.

Allewell Appointed Dean of Life Sciences

continued from page I

at the University of Minnesota.

AllewelTs commitment to research, educa-
tion, outreach and specifically to developing pro-
grams in biology is what precipitated her inter-
est in Maryland.

"There are great opportunities for the life sci-
ences at Maryland because of the high level of
public awareness and support for biology at the
present time, existing strengths in the college,
and die proximity of the university to federal
agencies, research organizations and unique nat-
ural resources in the Washington, D.C., area," says
Allewell.

With a broad background and interests in the
sciences, she has worked successfully with a
diverse group of scientists nationally. She is a
past president of the Biophysical Society and has
served on numerous review panels and special
committees for the National Science Foundation,
National Institutes of Health, Howard Hughes
Medical Institute and the National Research
Council.

Allewell hopes to not only advance the Col-
lege of Lift: Sciences, but also promote greater
linkages with other colleges and leverage the
university's strengths in other areas.

"These linkages are extremely important,
because of the synergy that continues to devel-
op between the life sciences and other disci-
plines" says Allewell. 1 would like to see the col-
lege of life sciences grow in terms of both size

and excellence of its research, educational and
outreach programs."

AllewelTs research focuses on the general
area of protein structure and function, with par-
ticular emphasis on signal transduction and the
functional roles of subunit interactions in multi-
subunit proteins. She uses a wide range of
approaches, such as X-ray crystallography, com-
puter modeling and recombinant DNA methods
to investigate these questions in several different
proteins.

A recipient of numerous grants, awards and
honors, Allewell is frequently invited to partici-
pate in site reviews of biological and chemistry
programs at institutions across the country. She
has served on the editorial boards of the Journal
of Biological Chemistry and the Biophysical
Journal and is an Associate Editor of Biopoty-
mers,

Allewell is the co-author or editor of three
books and more than 80 papers and reviews in
biochemistry, protein science, biophysics and
biomedical research.

She grew up in southern Ontario, Canada,
where she gained her bachelor's degree in bio-
chemistry from McMaster University. She earned
her doctorate degree in molecular biophysics
from Yale University.

Allewell succeeds Paul Mazzocchi, who left
the deanship to return full time to the chemistry
and biochemistry department. Michael Raupp,
professor and immediate past chair of the ento-
mology department, will serve as interim dean
until Allewell arrives.

Terps are Tops in FutureTruck Competition

Teams of engineering students from
around the country have sent a clear
message to U.S. automakers: It is possi-
ble to build sport-utility vehicles with
much better fuel economy than the
highway hippos now so popular.

At the two-week FutureTruck compe-
tition held under the blazing June sun at
the General Motors Desert Proving
Ground in Mesa, Ariz., University of
Maryland students took a stock Chevy
Suburban and figured out how to com-
bine an electric motor with an ethanol-
fueled smaller engine.The design netted
the Maryland students top honors over-
all and in the off-road category.

FutureTruck 2000 was sponsored by
General Motors and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy. In past years, the com-
petition has focused on car fuel econo-
my but this year the 1 5 teams took on
the task of re-inventing the sport utility
vehicle. The sponsors provided each
team with a new Suburban and $ 10,000
seed money.

"The first year of this competition
has been a real 'everybody wins' situa-
tion," says Mark Maher, director of pow-
ertrain systems for General Motors
Truck Group. "The student team mem-
bers are leaving here with incredible
experience in advanced automotive
technologies, GM has developed great
recruiting opportunities for the best tal-
ent, and the rest of the country will
eventually benefit from the types of
cleaner, more efficient technologies
we're seeing experimented with here."

The task — maintain all the SUV's.abil-
ity to carry cargo and pull heavy loads
such as trailers while reducing fuel con-

sumption and greenhouse gas emissions
— coincided with soaring gasoline
prices, the summer driving season and
increasing concern about global warm-
ing.

Led by student project managers
Kevin Denton and Blaine Woehr, and
advised by mechanical engineering pro-
fessor David Holloway, the 36 members
of the university's team first exchanged
the Suburban's stock V-8 engine for a
smaller, more efficient V-6.

The V-6 was then converted to run
on clean-burning c thai ml fuel. The elec-
tric motor was added to make up for
the power difference between the V-6
and the original V-8 engine.A sophisti-
cated system of computer controls auto-
matically switches on the battery-pow-
ered electric motor when the vehicle
needs more power, such as during hard
acceleration or towing. The result is a
cleaner, more efficient vehicle that
retains all the "muscle" of a gasoline-
powered engine.

The students began their participa-
tion in the FutureTruck challenge in the
fall of 1999, when they enrolled in a
special six-credit class over two semes-
ters. During the first semester, team
members attended lectures on basic
vehicle design and hybrid vehicle theo-
ry. In the spring, the team did the actual
hands-on work to convert the Suburban
into what their written presentation
described as "Proteus:The Truck You
Wish You Had."

The FutureTruck teams competed in
more than a dozen events. They were
evaluated on safety, performance, tow-
ing ability, greenhouse gas emissions,

members who won the FutureTruck competition sponsored by General Motors.

fuel economy and consumer acceptabil-
ity. Project sponsors say every entry
demonstrated innovative approaches to
the fuel economy and greenhouse gas
emissions even while 100-degree tem-
peratures caused problems for many of
the vehicles.

Students from the winning Proteus
team were able to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 28 percent while still
maintaining much of the Suburban's
overall performance. The truck designed
by the University of California, Davis,
had the best fuel economy at 18,7 miles
per gallon, a 13 percent increase over
the average Suburban.

Other competitors came from Con-
cordia University, Cornell University,
George Washington University, Georgia

Tech, Michigan Technological University,
Ohio State University, Perm State Univer-
sity, Texas Tech University, University of
Idaho, University of Tennessee, Universi-
ty of Wisconsin-Madison and Virginia
Tech.

"We are gratified that we won such a
challenging competition and finished
ahead of the other extremely talented
FutureTruck teams," says Holloway.
"However, our focus is now on next
year's competition. We've already started
the process of bringing on new team
members and beginning the hard work
necessary to successfully compete again
next year."

University Libraries' Joanne
Harrar Retires

Tech-Savvy Teens from 28 States Converge on
Campus to Address Digital Divide

After a distinguished library career that spanned
almost five decades, including 20 years as director of
the University of Maryland Libraries, H.Joanne Harrar
retired at the end of June.

A native of Seattle who received her undergraduate
education at Oberlin College and her master's and doc-
torate degrees in library service from Rutgers Universi-
ty, Harrar first became involved in library work at Duke
and Oberlin and then taught in the Rutgers' Graduate
School of library Service. She later served as head
librarian at Winthrop College (now University) and was
an associate director of libraries at the University of
Georgia when selected on July 18, 1975 to be director
of libraries at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Harrar stepped down from that position on August 3 1 ,
1995, and has been working in several special capaci-
ties for the libraries since then.

Many accomplishments took place during her direc-
torate, including implementation of the CARL VICTOR
Library Information Management System, creation of
the Music Library and the U.S. Patents Depository
Library, and expansion of the Engineering and Physical
Sciences Library. Establishment of the National Trust for
Historic Preservation Library on campus, the addition of
a number of important special collections, expansion of
the grants program, and reorganization of the library's
internal structure also were notable.

in other parts of the nation," says Steven Worker, a
20-year-old junior at California Polytechnic Insti-
tute who was instrumental in establishing the
conference.

Given the success of the conference, it's not
surprising that many participants are already dis-
cussing a possible follow-up next year.

Urban Forestry Curriculum Established

Nearly eight out of 10 Maryland resi-
dents live In urban settings. A growing
percentage of these individuals recog-
nize the importance of urban forests,
which cut energy needs through the
shade they provide, reduce runoff, pro-
vide wildlife habitat and enhance prop-
erty values. With this recognition comes
an increased demand for trained individ-
uals to manage urban forest ecosystems.

The University of Maryland is
addressing the demand with the addi-
tion of an urban forestry concentration
to the natural resource sciences under-
graduate program in its department of
natural resource sciences and landscape
architecture. Beginning this fall, students
in the College of Agriculture and Natur-
al Resources can begin taking courses
leading to a bachelor of science degree
with a concentration in urban forestry.
This program will complement the
thriving urban forestry program of the
Maryland Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) Forest Service, which

has been a national leader in the
development of efforts to pro-
tect trees in urban settings.

The new urban forestry cur-
riculum meets the demand for
trained tree care professionals in
an increasingly urban state, as
well as the entire Mid-Atlantic
region. Its development was
spearheaded by an Urban
Forestry Steering Committee
comprised of University of Mary-
land faculty and representatives
of public agencies and private
tree care companies.

State Forester Jim Mallow
expressed pleasure that a state-
based educational institution will
be involved in essential forestry
education. "The addition of an
urban forestry program at the Universi-
ty of Maryland goes a long way toward
protecting and maintaining Maryland's
trees for the future," he says.

urban forestry curriculum, contact Joe
Sullivan, assistant professor, natural
