THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND FACULTY AND STAFF WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Volume iS * Number I • September 3, 2

Search is on
For New Vice
President

The University of Mary-
land is reopening a
national search to fill the
position of vice president for
administrative affairs, which
was vacated in June as a result
of Charles Sturtz's retirement.
Linda Clement, vice president
for student affairs, will chair the
search committee, whose full
membership is listed below.

The position announcement
is appearing in numerous publi-
cations. The most effective way
to identify outstanding individu-
als for a position at this level is
through personal contact. Presi-
dent Dan Mote welcomes assis-
tance in bringing to the notice
of the committee to any quali-
fied colleagues.

"The reputation and achieve-
ment of our academic pro-
grams, faculty, students, teach-
ing, research arid service are at
an all-time high," said Mote in an
annoucement. "Thanks to the
generous support and work of
the state and many others, the
University of Maryland is the
most important engine of
knowledge and prosperity in
the state. Because our prospects
for continued growth in stature
and achievement of our lofty
goals are very good, I expect
this position to be attractive to
candidates who wish to help
build a great academic enter-
prise."

The vice president for admin-
istrative affairs is a member of
the senior leadership team of
the campus and reports to the
president. As the chief fiscal
officer of the institution, he or
she is responsible for the devel-
opment and oversight of all fis-
cal planning, policies and regu-
lations; the fiscal administration
of all institutional funds; and the
cost effective planning and
operation of the university's
major administrative functions.

The vice president provides
line supervision for the follow-
ing functions: finance and
accounting; human resources;
purchasing and contracts; facili-
ties planning; facilities manage-
ment; public safety; auxiliary
enterprises related to adminis-
trative functions; and service
units which provide logistical
support for the university. The
supervision of these activities is
carried out in accordance with
policies and guidelines set forth
by the state, the University Sys-
tem of Maryland and the presi-
dent. The vice president also
serves as a representative of the
president on various university

Helping People Get Along

New Campus Compliance Officer Stresses Common Humanity

Roger Candeiaria finds people fascinat-
ing and their value to each other of
great importance. These are good traits
for the campus' new compliance officer.
It seems Candeiaria matches his new
responsibilities quite well. The campus com-
pliance officer investigates complaints of any
kind of discrimination, with respect to employ-
ment and education, as set forth in the Human
Relations Code produced by the Office of
Human Relations Programs (OHRP). The offi-
cer works to resolve complaints collaborative-
ly with the parties involved in a complaint, as
well as with the other members of the Con-
flict Resolution Network, members of the
Equity Council , Judicial Programs staff, Depart-
ment of Resident life staff, Peer Mediation Pro-

gram staff and the Legal Office staff.

"My Job is to listen to people to see how
and why we treat each other badly, and to
influence the way we treat each other in a
direction that accurately reflects the value of
each person," is how Candeiaria interprets his
new job. "We don't treat each other as real
repositories of value."

Perhaps Candeiaria 's deeply felt belief in the
importance of being good to one another
comes from time spent among an isolated Indi-
an tribe in Colorado. Perhaps his clear-eyed
look at justice comes from years as a munici-
pal judge. Just out of law school, he headed to
the Southern Ute Reservation near Towaoc,

Comcast Seating Decisions, Arrangements
Explained

Below are answers to a
number of the com-
mon misconceptions
regarding the University New
Arena Seat Committee Plans
for Comcast Center.

Concern: The people who
developed this plan are forc-
ing out season ticket holders
in favor of those with deep
pockets.

Fact: At present, more than
200 donors have selected
seats in Comcast with lifetime
giving as low as $ 1 ,500. They
are eligible for seats because
they accumulated Terpoints in
other ways than gift giving,
like membership referrals.
The ability to seat donors
with such limited lifetime giv-
ing is not the norm in colle-
giate seating plans at high-pro-

file programs with similar
demands for tickets. Maryland
has tried hard to accommo-
date such individuals.

Fact: There were 3,164 total
ticket accounts in Cole. Of
these, at least 92.3 percent
will transfer to Comcast for
full or partial ticket packages.

Fact: The athletics depart-
ment did not arbitrarily deter-
mine the number of Terpoints
necessary to qualify for Com-
cast Center seating. We uti-
lized the University New
Arena Seat Committee Plan.
Our Terrapin Club members
established that figure based
on their years of membership,
number of referrals, personal
contributions, and season tick-
et purchases for football,
men's basketball and women's

basketball for years in which
that individual was a Terrapin
Club member.

Concern: Why not build a
larger facility to meet the
demand for season tickets?

Fact: The size and scope of
the building, including perma-
nent seats, was capped by the
state. Two-hundred and nine-
ty-two portable seats will be
of benefit to those who did
not qualify for seats in the
permanent bowl.

Fact: To accommodate as
many Terrapin Club members
as possible, the athletics
department added, at its own
expense, the portable seats in
the end zones. The one-time

Sportsmanship
Takes Center
Stage

What the university wants
to make clear is this:
being a good fan means more
than painting your face with
Terp colors or sleeping on the
cold ground for tickets. It also
means not destroying property
and causing disturbances. Being
a good fan includes behaving
respectfully and responsibly
whether teams win or lose.

To assist fans, particularly stu-
dents, with understanding what
this means and what will be
done following unacceptable
behavior, the university is begin-
ning a comprehensive sports-
manship campaign, featuring
coaches Gary Williams and
Ralph Friedgen.

"We want to continue and
enhance the efforts from last
year so that fans will know how
to make the university proud,"
said Terry Flannery, executive
director of marketing and com-
munications. "And we're going
to be very clear in communicat-
ing the consequences if you
don't abide by the expecta-
tions."

Those consequences include
stricter punishment for those
caught rioting, destroying prop-
erty or committing other acts of
violence after a game. A new
Board of Regents policy,
approved on July 10, calls for
"dismissal of any student who Is
convicted in any state or federal
court, or found responsible in
any campus judicial proceed-
ing, of rioting, assault, theft, van-
dalism, arson, or breach of
peace, provided such miscon-
duct was related directly or
indirectly to University spon-
sored activities, including athlet-
ic events." Those expelled may
not be admitted to any Universi-
ty System of Maryland school
for one year from the date of
expulsion.

One of the tactics being
employed to spread the mes-
sage of respect and integrity is
the issuance and dissemination
of a Statement of Sportsman-
ship:

"The University of Maryland
fully supports the principles
and practices of sportsmanship
adopted by the National Colle-
giate Athletic Association
(NCAA) and Atlantic Coast Con
ference (ACQ. Sportsmanship
entails respect for the game, the
officials, our team, our oppo-
nent and our institution. We are
committed to the attainment
and celebration of excellence,
respect for the rights and opin-
ions of others, and winning
with integrity."

Continued from page 1

A media relations cam-
paign will attempt to reach
the community through edi-
torial pieces in local news-
papers and the statement
will be printed on the backs
of Terps stickers distributed
at games. Linda Clement,
vice president for student
affairs and committee mem-
ber, says the community was
involved in the efforts at
several levels. "We held
focus groups in the spring
[of last year] . We had the
mayor and the city council
involved "she said.

A third prong of the cam-
paign will include public
service announcements and
posters featuring Williams
and Friedgen reminding fans
that "championship teams
need championship fans."
And borrowing a phrase
Friedgen is known for
among his players: "We got a
good thing going here. Are
you out or are you in?"

This is the first time the
university has been so
broad-based with a sports-
manship effort, said
Clement, and the committee
knows it will need to be
repeated.

"We get a new batch of
freshman and transfer stu-
dents every year," said
Clement. "We are prepared
to do this education process
every year."

Prison Visits Give MBA
Students Lasting Memories

Some students at the
University of Mary-
land are getting a first-
hand look at the con-
sequences of being caught
with their hands in the till.

As part of an innovative
ethics training program, full-
time MBA students at the
Robert H. Smith School of
Business visit one of two fed-
eral prisons in Maryland and
Pennsylvania during the
course of their studies. The
students not only get an up
close and personal tour of a
federal correctional facility,
but also hear the personal sto-
ries of white collar criminals
who are inmates.

Program director and pro-
fessor of accounting and
information assurance .
Stephen E. Loeb says the
prison visits are designed to
be memorable to students,
who are confronted with the
reality of white collar crime.

"All students react different-
ly to the program, but on the
whole they find it worthwhile
and memorable," says Loeb.
"For adult learners, actually
experiencing a situation is a
way to really remember."

Students visit a low-security
prison in either Cumberland
orAUenwood,Pa. They attend
lectures given by former busi-
ness people who made the
wrong choices, but have vol-

unteered to tell their stories.
The lectures serve as a warn-
ing to students of what can
go wrong in business life
when ethics go out the door
and they cross the line into
illegal behavior. Students also
have the chance to ask
inmates questions.

Loeb says the prison visit
program has been running
since 1996. It is one of only a
small number of such hands-
on ethics courses in the coun-
try and has become one of
the things Maryland's MBA
program is known for. The
prison visits grew out of a
revision of the MBA program
In the early 1990s and the
idea of using experiential
learning. Loeb came up with
the idea for the visits because
they seemed the most inter-
esting way to expose students
to real life ethical issues.

Loeb says the Federal
Bureau of Prisons has been
cooperative in allowing stu-
dents into prisons, and that
the program is a win-win situ-
ation. It not only provides
valuable ethics training for
students and allows prisons
to perform a community serv-
ice, but also lets prisoners
give something positive back
to the business community.

Candelaria: Listens

Continued from page 1

Colo, to fulfill a judgeship
with the Mountain Ute,
who live on the reserva-
tion's isolated western end.
Unlike many tribes, they
had chosen to forego tribal
governance in favor of
Anglo-American jurispru-
dence to minimize clan
divisions or a dominant
clan, says Candelaria.

When asked about his
move to an area quite dif-
ferent from the southwest,
Candelaria answers , " that 's
all the more reason to be
here, to see more of the
world, the exposure to dif-
ferent kinds of diversity
from that in New Mexico
and Colorado."

Though he is not Ute, he
says he identifies with the
people and culture, as he
does with a myriad of oth-
ers. What each group or
philosophy has in common,
though, is a respect and an
understanding of each
other. For example, one of
Candelaria 's tenets of get-
ting along comes from Jew-
ish philosopher Martin
Buber's T and Thou," which
espouses a common
humanity. "That another
human being is another
you," says Candelaria.

He wants to bring this

thinking to the campus
through his work address-
ing complaints. Just before
arriving ;tt Maryland, he
worked for three years as
the director of employee
relations and university
ombudsman for the Uni-
versity of Northern Col-
orado in Greeley, so he
brings higher education
experience with him, as
well. Candelaria wants the
campus community to
know that he is not only
excited, but also prepared
for his new assignment. He
hopes that university em-
ployees know that OHRP
works on behalf of all
members of the campus.

The office isn't slanted
against anybody. We're all
trying to. . .survive and live
good lives. Hopefully, our
office, and particularly my
area, doesn't get carica-
tured as a player in some-
body's larger agenda. I
won't allow it."

What he would like to
facilitate is more people
living more comfortable
lives through an apprecia-
tion of each other, and a
confidence in their individ-
ual worth. "We're here to
help people see them-
selves."

Comcast! Ticket Distribution Honors Loyalty

Continued from page 1

cost for these additional seats
is approximately $200,000.

Concern: The seating plan is
unfair and disregards loyalty.

Fact: Loyalty is a foundational
tenet to the plan, which was
developed by a group of 31
individuals, many of whom
came from all giving levels of
the Terrapin Club. Their plan
was recommended to the athlet-
ics department. The term "loy-
alty" is clearly defined through
theTerpoints formula — it is a
definition that eliminates any
and all subjectivity of the seat-
ing plan. Details were provided
to all Terrapin Club members on
multiple occasions, beginning in
September 1999. This was done
in order to allow members as
much opportunity as possible
to accumulate Terpoints.

Fact: Terpoints, which are a
reflectionof loyalty to the pro-
gram, reward: 1) length of
membership in the Terrapin
Club; 2) membership referrals;
3) season-ticket purchases in
football/ men's and women's
basketball in years when a Ter-

rapin Club member; 4) annual
donation amount to the schol-
arship fund; 5) and lifetime
contributions in support of ath-
letics.

Fact: More than 150 Terrapin
Club members who did not
have tickets in Cole, but have
been members of the Terrapin
Club for at least 15 years exer-
cised their option to purchase
tickets in Comcast, which is
their right.

Fact: One of the primary ways
of accumulating Terpoints does
not require a donation, it is sim-
ply membership referral.
Approximately 25 percent of
the donor accounts in Comcast
have earned Terpoints via
membership referrals. In fact,
one Terrapin Club member has
earned Terpoints for referring
48 individuals for membership
mtheTerrapinCIub.

Fact: Only 2 percent of Comcast
ticket account holders are flrst-
yearTerrapin Club members.

Concern: The blue-collar fan is
being squeezed out by big, cor-

porate money.

Fact: Only 3 percent of the
300 Building Partners are cor-
porate donors. (The Building
Partners, who account for
approximately 1 ,600 of the
more than 17,000 seats in the
arena, contributed more than
$20 million to the building
project).

Concerns The Terrapin Club
and the University New Arena
Seat Committee don't care
about their fans.

Fact: Not only do we care, we
consider our supporters to be
the lifeblood of our athletics
program. With a self-support-
ing, $38 million operating
budget that does not include
any state monies, our support-
ers and then gifts to the schol-
arship fund are critical to our
efforts to field a nationally
competitive athletics program.

Fact: The reality is demand for
tickets, particularly after a
national championship season
and back-to-back Final Four
appearances, is at an unprece-

dented level and exceeds the
supply. It's unfortunate not
everyone who wants a season
ticket will be able to get one.

Fact: As a follow-up to three
years of written notifications,
staff and volunteers in April
2002 placed courtesy phone
calls to provide additional,
updated information to Cole
Field House ticket holders who
might not qualify for season
tickets in Comcast.

Fact We also have created a
nine-^ame season ticket pack-
age to allow twice as manyTer-
rapin Club members, who did
not qualify to be seated in the
permanent seating bowl,
access to the additional end
zone seats in Comcast Center.

Fact: Also, if single-game tick-
ets are ever available .Terrapin
Club members who do not
have season tickets in Comcast
will receive priority for pur-
chase of those tickets.

In Memoriam

Financial Aid
Counselor
Remeberedfor
His Warmth

Reginald Forrest, a
counselor in the
Office of Student
Financial Aid, was known for
his infectious smile and
warm personality. He would
start each day the same way:
with a kind word and an
ear-to-ear grin for his
coworkers.

Forrest, 37, was killed on
July 7 while driving on
Southern Avenue in Washing-
ton, D.C. Police have arrested
a suspect in the case.

Forrest began working in
the financial aid office last
December. He had a strong
desire to work with stu-
dents, and he quickly estab-
lished himself as a warm and
patient advisor to students
and parents.

"In the short time he was
here, I had several students
and parents seek me out to
commend Reggie on the
excellent service he had pro-
vided," said Gene Logan,
assistant director of client
services in the financial aid
office. "He loved working
with students so much that
he was the first person to
volunteer to represent the
university at a college fair in
New York."

Shlrleyne McDonald,
financial aid counselor,
worked in the office right
next to Forrest's. She remem-
bers him as a friendly person
who was quiet, but with a
good sense of humor. And he
adored his 14-year-old son.
"He would come in to work
complaining about how sore
he was after playing basket-
ball with Dauntae," she
recalled.

Bill Leith, director of
financial aid, said, "Reggie
clearly loved his work help-
ing students and families
with the financial aid
process. Whenever I ended a
conversation with Reggie,!
felt good. His attitude and
positive outlook were infec-
tious."

In addition to his work at
the university, Forrest was
active in the Delaware Bap-
tist Church and had just
begun working on a master's
degree at the University Col-
lege.

A memorial fund in care
of Forrest has been estab-
lished at SunTrust Bank. It
will provide support for
Reggie's wife, Donna, and
their son. For more informa-
tion about making a contri-
bution, contact Gene Logan
