Reexamining
A Classic
Crime Study

Msirriage and the mili-
tary bailed out many
delinquent boys from
a life of crime, criminology pro-
fessor John I-aub says, based on
his long-term follow-up of the
Unraveling Juvenile Delinquen-
cy study by Sheldon and
Eleanor Glueck (1950>.

"The Glueck study was one
of the most comprehensive
studies in criminology," says
Laub. who stumbled upon the
data stored in the basement at
the Harvard Law School Library,
while serving as a visiting fiel-
low there in the 1980s, "It is a
classic study in the field."

The Gluecks, a married cou-
ple who spent their careers at
the law school, studied the
same 500 delinquent and 500
non-delinquent boys at ages 14,
25 and 32. All of the boys were
white males who grew up in
disadvantaged neighborhoods
in Bostot].

"For these at-risk kids from
reform schools, knowing their
childhood characteristics did
not help predict who would
continue in crime and who
would stop in later adulthood."

Laub and a colleague, Robert
Sampson, received funding to
computerize and re-analyze the
Gluecks' data, which they pre-
sented in their book "Crime in
the Making: Pathways and Tiirn-
ing Points Through Life," pub-
lished in 1993.

In the mjd-90s, with support
from the Harry Frank Guggen-
heim Foundation, they launched
their own follow-up study of
the original subjects as they
approached age 70.

Laub and Sampson spent one
to two hours interviewing 52
men (about half of the 500
delinquents had died). From the
interviews and criminal
records, Laub discovered that
those who had desisted from
crime found stability in mar-
riage and employment. Those
who persisted in crime found
stability in their imprisonment
and experienced short-term
employment, multiple marriages

Old School Terrapin Pride

PHOTO B¥ DAVE OTTALINI

Spirits were high and school colors were everywhere as approximately 500
Maryland supporters took over the state house in Annapolis for Terrapin
Pride Day.

Approximately 400 faculty, staff and students rode one of four of the universi-
ty's new buses to the capital, where they were met by nearly 150 more supporters.
The annual event is a chance for the campus community and its friends to let leg-
islators know how important higher education is to them, and to thank elected
representatives for supporting the university. Many took the opportunity to meet
one on one with legislators.

With recent budget cuts hitting almost every area of the campus, oi^anizers
were happy to see the large turnout.

Above, John S. ToU, former University System of Maryland chancellor and pro-
fessor after whom the physics building is named, greets the crowd after being
acknowledged. Standing just behind ToU is Maryland Football Coach Ralph
Friedgen,

Maryland is "Closing Fast" on Virginia

Washingtonian Article Offers Favorable Comparison

"The Unifersity of Virginia and
the University of Maryland are
flagship schools of their states.
They are sources of pride for resi-
dents and alumni, and engines
for their state's economies. If they
were members of a country cluh,
Virginia would he old money
and Maryland an upstart. "

So begins a thousands
words-long article in
last month's Washing-
tonian magazine comparing
the two schools. When it was
all over, Maryland walked
away as an upstart should,
with a wink and a promise
that the contest is not over
Permed by Alvin P Sanolf ,
former managing editor of
the U.S. News coUege guide,
the article compares several
areas of university life. For
example, Sanoff gives the
architectural point to Virginia
for iLs adherence to Jcfferson-
ian design. However, Mary-
land gets a "big edge" over

mfiis

Virginia as a science power.

"College Park excels in sci-
ence and engineering," he
wrote. "It joins such schools
as MIT, Princeton, and Cor-
nell as one of only ten uni-
versities to make U.S. News'
top-20 rankings in four hard
sciences: physics ( 1 3th>, engi-
neering (l6th), computer sci-
ence (1 2th), and mathemat-

Other areas of excellence
include Maryland's arts and

Mediators
Work Qviietly,
Effectively for
Consensus

When in search of a neutral
party with which to discuss a con-
cern, members of the campus
community need not go for. It is
the job of university ombudsper-
sons to offer a confidential forum
for discussion and options for res-
olution. Below is a quick look at
each ombudsperson and his or
her contact information.

Office: 2132 Main Administration

As a retired professor emeritus
from the Robert H. Smith
School of Business, Preston finds
his new position a good way to
continue serving the campus he
served as a faculty member for 23
years. Familiar with campus gover-
nance and informal mediation
through his 50 years in academe,
Preston looks forward to helping
coUeagues. He plans to go through
formal training through the United
States Ombudsman Association
and feels more people should be
aware of ombuds' services.

"People with problems may not
know how to proceed,' he says.
"New feculty may have a hard
time distinguishing between
someone's got it in for me' and
'that's the way it is.' Chairs and
deans need to be more aware of
ways to show equity."

He wants to make it clear, how-
ever, that his is not a position that
changes promotion and tenure
decisions. "But if something is trou-
blesome about the procedures,
then I can help."

Most of the issues that come to
Preston's office concern pay equi-
ty, workload, office space or per-
sonality differences,

NEWS FROM THE CLARICE SMITH

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Letting Go

jC

woman clings
to a crimson
curtain that
hangs from the
ceiling. She gingerly reaches up
with a pair of scissors and cuts
the febric slowly until she
crashes to the floor of the
stage.

'With that strik-
It^ visual image,
choreographer
Donna Uchizono
begins "Butterflies
feim my Hand," a
work that makes
its area premiere
at the Clarice
Smith Performing
Arts Center's
Dance Theatre on
Thursday, April 1
and Friday,Apri] 2
at 8 p.m.

Called "brilliant-
ly imaginative" by
The New York
Times, "Butter-
flies" poses
provocative ques-
tions about vul-
nerability, surren-
der and the power gained
through the act of letting go.
Uchizono said of the genesis of
the work, "We started to
explore ideas of resistance, of
hanging on, of conflict and
release and filing and suspen-
sion. Then I talked about think-
ing that what you're hanging
onto is the thing that you think
is supporting you. So the first
action is about the courage it
takes to make a change." Per-
formed by a quartet of dancers,
the resultant piece creates "a

landscape alive with vivid col-
ors, textures and fleeting but
intense human interactions"
(The New York Times).

Since the debut of the New
York-based Donna Uchizono
Company in 1990, Uchizono
has been praised for her "wit,

world. I'm interested in that
moment — when the awkward
becomes elegant."

The Donna Uchizono Com-
pany will also participate in a
free Take Five event on Tuesday,
March 30 at 5:30 p.m., during
which they will perform

spicy movement and rich
invention." Also known for her
exploration of the awkward
rendered beautiful, Uchizono
has explained her interest in
the seemin^y ordinary: "1 am
interested in what I call awk-
ward-elegance,' the discovery of
beauty in the unexpected. . .
When pelicans take off from
water to fly, they are gangly and
awkward," she said in a 1993
interview, "but they hit this
point where they become the
most beaudfiil things in the

excerpts from "Butterflies ' and
discuss the creative process.
Following the ticketed perform-
ances on April 1 and 2, there
will also be question-and-
answer sessions with the
artists .These performances arc
funded in part by the National
Dance Project of the New Eng-
land Foundation for the Arts.

Tickets for the performances
arc $25, $5 for students. To

Classic Cyrano Production Marks Reunion

One of the biggest theatri-
cal triumpfis in history,
Edmofid Rostand's
"Cyrano de Bergerac" received
40 curtain calls on its opening
night in 1897 and went on to
dazzle full houses for 500 per-
formances. It even inspired
merchandising mania, yielding
Cyrano wine, cheese, soaps,
ashtrays, pipes, hats and more.

The hig-rsosed swordsman
and poet's popularity continues
today. Now the classic play has
inspired an upcoming reunion
of numerous faculty members
with a longtime associate,
prominent off-Broadway direc-
tor Susan Einhorn. The new
production of an unpublished
translation/adaptation by Nagle
Jackson with original music by
Adrlenne Albert will run in the
Clarice Smith Performing Arts
Center's Kay Theatre from

March 5 to 13, and will feature
Department of Theatre Prof,
Mitchell Hebert in the title role
with supporting student cast.
The all-faculty design team
includes lighting design by
department chair Daniel
Maclean Wagner, scenic design
by Dan Conway and costume
design by Helen Huang,

Einhorn notes that she's
thrilled to be reunited with
profs. Wagner, Conway and
Huang, with whom she created
the 40th anniversary production
of John Osborne's "Look Back in
Anger" to critical acclaim at the
Studio Theatre in Washington,
D.C, She also is excited to work
once again with Prof. Hebert.
whom she directed in Mark Han-
diey's "tdioglossia" (which
became the mbvie "Nell") at
Washington's New Playwrights
Theatre, with lighting rfesign by

Daniel Maclean Wagner. Wag-
ner observes that both he and
Hebert thought of Einhorn
immediately when making plans
for the production,

"Susan was our first choice
to direct Cyrano. We thought it
would be really interesting to
have it directed from a
woman's perspective. " The tale
of the poet and guardsman,
with all of its swaggering
swordfights and duels, Einhorn
notes, is also a beautiful love
story. "It's about romantic love.

Capital R, capital I And that

what seems to be ugly is really
beautiful. Art should explore
those paradoxes in the uni-
verse."

Faculty Artist Performs
Benefit Recital

After Castro seized
power in Cuba, Santia-
go Rodriguez' parents sent
their two boys to America
to live in an orphanage
imder the care of Catholic
Charities. Santiago's moth-
er had concealed some
money and a note, begging
the nuns to continue his
j musical education— he
had been playing the
piano since he was four.

Two years after his
arrival in the United
States, he made his con-
cert debut with the New
Orleans Philharmonic.
Rodriguez went on to
launch an international
career, winning first prize
in the William KapeU Inter-
■ national Piano Competi-
tion in 1975 and the silver
medal at the Van Cliburn
! Internationa] aPiano Com-
' petition in 1981. This
I School of Music faculty

that Rodriguez "is bom for
Rachmaninov."

For more than 20 years,
Rodriguez has been a pro-
fessor of piano and since
1997, has been an artist-in-
residence at the utiiversity.
He was one of the first
recipients of the prestigious
Avery Fisher Career Grant,
and has since performed all
over the world in recital and
with leading orchestras,
including the London Sym-
phony, the Philadelphia,
Chicago, St. Louis and
National Symphony Orches-
tras. National Public Radio's
"Guide to Building a Classi-
cal CD Collection" recom-
mends three of Rodriguez'
recordings as 'the best avail-
able" performances. His
amazing life and artistry
were profiled on "CBS Sun-
day Morning" with Charles

Ombuds: Seeking Peace, Offering Options

space features chairs arranged in
a small circle. Candles provide
soft light and soothing scents.
Coates, a mediator for nearly a
decade, doesn't ask visitors to fill
out paperwork and she almost
never takes notes. She doesn't
want people to get the impres-
sion that their concerns arc
being documented. If she needs
to jot information down, she'll
ask first.

Interestingly, not writii^ things
down is what causes many of the
conflicts she mediates. "I'm very
busy around PRD time. If some-
one is not doing a good job, but
that hasn't been communicated
by their supervisor beforehand,
they get broadsided with critical
feedback then."

She's particularly concerned
about this year's performance
review cycle. "It's been a very
painful year for some. Everybody
wants merit, but if a supervisor
hasn't built a good case for
merit. . . "

In both positive and negative

instances, Coates says,"it's only
fair to the person" to document

information.

DeSiato wants graduate stu-
dents to remember that
doing nothing is just as much an
option as planning a course of
action when looking to resolve
an issue.

"Sometimes just talking about
it is enough," she says.

One of her first steps is to find
out what the student may have
already done. DeSiato then offers
some possible next-step ideaS^-'' '
"which may include going back
and talking to a faculty member."

She acknowledges that ofen
graduate students feel vulnera-
ble. Concerns about assistant-
ships or bureaucracy come up

and they're not sure where to
turn. Her mediation philosophy,
honed from 18 years in the pro-
fession, is "to help people think
about things in a way that opens
up solutions tfiat they hadn't
come to yet. We don't tell you
what you have to do."

By putting concerns in the
context of the university's struc-
ture, DeSiato hopes she is able to
give graduate students helpful
perspective. "For the most part,
the way academia is structured
works."

Though most issues are indi-
vidual, DeSiato does keep track
of things that may indicate sys-
temic problems. As with aL
ombuds, she communicates
these concerns with imiversity
administrators.

DeSiato says she actually does
more "shutde diplomacy" and
coaching than mediation these
days, but as long as she's helping,
she's happy. "This woit is a lot of
fim. I like helping people figure
out what might work for them."

Maryland: Beginning to Lead the Way

Continued from page 1

undet^raduate pro-
grams'and quoting Vir-
ginia President John
Casteen ni saying, "We
are m the middle of
expansion of the fine
and performing arts that
is a direct outgrowth of
what I saw at Maryland."

Virginia did receive
the''money in the bank"
nod with Samoff noting
that 27 percent of its
alumni donate to the
school, compared to
Maryland's alumni giv-
ing rate of 17 percent.
However, it was a tie
when it came to looking
at who chains more for
its top-flight education,

"For out-of-state rs, it
may boil down to who

can offer the best financial package," Samoff wrote,
mentioning that cuts in state funding have affected
each school.

He continues, "At Maryland, about 70 percent of
students receive some form of financial assistance,
in contrast to 43 percent at Virginia. The difference
reflects, in part, Maryland's higher cost for in-state
students and its generous use of merit scholar-
ships."

The article also examined less serious aspects of

higher education, such
as social life and athlet-
ics. Maryland comes
out ahead athletically,
in part because of
recent championships
and the still-new Com-
cast Center, which Vir-
ginia admits to model-
ing for its own under
construction. "We arc
using the same lead
architect," Virginia ath-
letic director Craig Lit-
tle page is quoted as
saying, who was hired
with the example set
by Maryland's Debbie
Yow in mind, said Cas-
teen.

As for parries and
dorm life, the schools
are in a tie. Virginia gets

points for its small, commimity feel and Maryland

receives kudos for 'creatively [combining] housing

with academic life."

Though there isn't really a competition brewing

between the schools, Samoff sums it up by saying

who puUs out ahead depends largely on how each

institution handles the future.

"How successfully each adapts may determine

which institution has the edge over the long nm,"

he wrote.

Michael Fu

Jackson R. Bryer, a professor in the
Department of English, is known as
much for his scholarly work as he is for
his attention to students. A faculty
member for nearly 40 years, Bryer is
interaationally recognized as as an
authority on American and modem
drama and American iiction of the 20th
century. He has published extensively
on the work of F, Scott Fitzgerald,
Eugene O'Neill and others.

With respect to his reputation among
students, one colleague said he has
heard nothing but "spariding tilings"
about Bryer 's teactiing. 'Professor Bryer
successfiiUy integrates critical inquiry
and professional development to offer
his students classes that are stimulating,
challenging, and productive," wrote a
former doctoral student.

Michael Coplan, of the College Of Mathe-
matical, Computer and Physical Sciences
and director of the chemical physics
graduate program, provides "outstand-
ing" research in the areas of experimen-
tal space science and atomic and molec-
ular collisions. Also a professor in the
Institute for Physical Science and Tech-
nology, Coplan is noted for major contri-
butions to the understanding of the ori*
gins and evolution of solar wind, the
composition of comets and other related
studies.

Coplan, who has taught a wide variety
of undergraduate and graduate courses,
is widely recognized for the enthusiasm
and integrity he brings to his research
and teaching. Over the years he has
taken on difficult and unpopular teach-

ing assignments and transformed them
into courses eagerly sought out by stu-
dents.

Clark School of Engineering Professor
Janwa Duncan brings to campus a "won-
derful example" of teaching and a repu-
tation for "exceptional" work in the field
of fluid dynamics. He has been called
"unquestionably the world leader in
experimental research on the mechanics
of spilling breakers." Colleagues at Mary-
land, MIT and Johns Hopkins University
praise Duncan's work.

Nomination materials include numer-
ous references to his "effective" teaching.
Former students appreciate his hands-
on, personal approach to their woric.
Duncan writes in his nomination pack-
age that there isn't a "clear boundary"
between his research and his teaching.
Much of his work is done with under-
graduate and ^aduate students, he
writes.

Bryan Eichhom, associate chair for gradu-
ate studies in the chemistry and bio-
chemistry department, is known for his
many collaborations on- and off-campus.
He is helping Congressman Albert Wynn
draft a hydr<^cn economy bill and the
university design a Center for Hydrogen
Economy Research. Eichhom's research
subjects range from fundamental proper-
ties of inoi^anic clusters to the produc-
tion of nanoparticles from molecular
precursors. His woric is Internationally
acknowledged.

To his students, Eichhom is always
available as a mentor and friend. "He

George Quesier

was a very kind and understanding
advisor that did not yell at you when
you made a mistake in the lab," says
Khamphee Phomphrai. Since Eichhorn
became chair, the number and diversity
of incoming graduate students has
improved. (Photo not available)

Michaal Fu is professor of management
science in the Robert H. Smith School of
Business, and holds a joint appointment
with the Listitute for Systems Research
(ISR). Fu's research focuses on simulation
methodology and applied probability
modeling, with applications toward man-
ufacturing systems and fmancial engi-
neering. He is currently the simulation
area editor for the flagship journal in his
field, Operations Research.

Fu's awards include the HE Operations
Research Division Award (1999), the
ISR's Outstanding Systems Engineering
Faculty Award (2002), the Business
School's Allen J. Krowe Award for Teach-
ing Excellence (1995) and the INFORMS
College on Simulation's Outstanding
Publication Award (1998) for his book,
"Conditional Monte Carlo: Gradient Esti-
mation and Optimization Applications."

Bnice James, a professor of soil chem-
istry, integrates instruction and his
research in his courses. He revamped the
undergraduate soil chemistry curriculum
by dropping outdated materials and
courses and adding new and relevant
ones. His research specializes in oxida-
tion-reduction processes, heavy metal

Scholarly Conversations

With so much interesting scholar-
ly work on campus, it can be
hard to keep up, remarked President
Dan Mote at a recent presentation
designed to do just that — showcase
the university's broad array of inter-
sectional scholarship.

At the first Provost's Conversation
on Diversity, Democracy and Higher
Education of the Spring semester,
professors Angel David Nieves and
Sharon Harley talked briefly about
their work in context of the recendy
released "Research on Race, Gender,
and Ethnicity at UM: Perspectives on
Diversity" report. Compiled by the
Consortium on Race, Gender, and
Ethnicity (CRGE),it looks at die con-
nections of those three key areas —
employing the phrase intersectional
scholarship — through the work of 61
faculty members.

Bonnie Thornton Dill, CRGE direc-
tor, introduced the speakers and gave
a bit of background on the project.
She said she was "inspired and invig-
orated" by the scope, intercollegiate
nature, achievements outlined in and
the transformative nature of the
report.

"However, not all people and work
were captured for this and they will
be put on the Web site," she added,
which is updated regularly. There will
be several odier activities related to
the report.

Harley, professor in the Department
of African American Studies, spoke of
the campus' internationally recog-
nized intersectional work. She provid-
ed a brief history on how she came to
know about others looking at the
"intersectionality of race, gender and
class." From an initial gathering of
scholars in her home 10 years ago
grew regular "sister scholar" seminars
and a book, "Sister Circle: Black
Women and Worit." Her colleagues
now help form other such work col-
lectives at universities nationwide,

Nieves spoke of the university's
"unparalleled"support for his inter-
sectional work as an architect, anthro-
pologist and historian. A professor
with the School of Architecture's his-
toric preservation program, Nieves
talked about his work imderstanding
the contributions black women made
to history through their role in build-
ing institutions.

After telling an anecdote about
Zora Neale Hurston and Alice Walker,
he said, "Other women in African-
American history were not as fortu-
nate to leave behind a literary legacy,
and instead have left us with the only
physical artifacts of their life's work in
the institutions they helped build."

An example of how he makes
intersectional work real to the com-
munity came through a project in
1996. As part of his work as a curator
at the Smithsonian, Nieves gave cam-
eras to young moms in the Mount
Pleasant neighborhood and asked
them "to photograph the important
places and spaces in their communi-
ty." There are plans for a community
museum.

The 30-page report, which was
comissioned by the president's diver-
sity panel in four years ago, is broken
into three main areas: an introduction
to intersectional research, Maryland
research centers and feculty research.

A research day will be held on Sept.
22, 2004 to showcase more of the
work highlighted in the CRGE report.

Conversation on Diversity,
Democracy and Lack of
Education

"W

ere all victims of
a bad education,"
says Francis Adams,
co-author of "Alienable Rights:
The Exclusion of African Ameri-
cans in a White Man's Land,
1619-2000."

Adams and his co-author,
Barry Sanders, discussed the
elusive equality and acceptance
of blacks in this nation from
colonial times to the present at
this semester's second Provost
Conversation on Diversity,
Democracy and Higher Educa-
tion held at the Nyumburu Cul-
tural Center last Thursday.
Adams and Barry say their

book is geared toward a white
audience. "We really don't know
our history," Sanders says about
what the history books and les-
sons don't tell you. "We need
more discussion on race to
move forward." In order to do
that, the literary duo agree that
major improvements in race
relations could start with the
coming election and will take a
significant Investment of federal
ftmds.

The next conversation will
feature "Racism Related Stress in
the Academy," and will be held
on Feb. 25 from 12-1:30 p.m. in
the Nyumburu Cultural Center.

Crime: Marriage is Deterrent

Continued fiom page 1

and military dishonor

Laub calls the young burglars
and car thieves, who succum-
bed to more adult crimes like
sexual assault, armed robbery
and gun violence, coupled with
alcohol abuse, "social nomads."
Boston Billy, for example, had
just been released from serving
a 10-year sentence for armed
robbery at tlie age of 68 when
he was interviewed.

" ITo all of the subjects] crime
was attractive, even those that
desisted from crime had some
ambivalence about the devious
lives they left behind. It's not as
if these guys suddenly turned
into saints but because of their
circumstances they now had
obligations and commitments
that they did not want jeopard-
ized."

Laub and Sampson recently
published the culmination of
this research In their book,
'Shared Beginnings, Divergent
Lives: Delinquent Boys to Age
70" (Harvard University Press)
in December,

"One of the goals of our work
te to understand the unfolding
of lives over the full life course.
For example, how people
change from being delinquent

as adolescents to leading con-
ventional lives as adults?"

Laub says he's always been
interested in criminal patterns
of continuity and change. He
wanted to be a cop before tak-
ing an undergraduate course in
criminology at the University of
Illinois, where he majored in
criminal justice. Laub also has a
master's and doctoral degree in
criminal justice from the State
University of New York at
Albany, where he met Sampson.

The native Chicagoan says
the Gluecks' study would b&
extremely difficult to repeat
today because subjects would
be much harder to trace, but if
he could he would include gen-
der and diversity in the study. As
for his own follow-up -work,
Laub said he's very happy with
how it turned out.

"If we had more funds per-
haps we could have inter-
viewed more people and maybe
we could have found 100 per-
cent of the original delinquents.
Even with limited resources, we
did locate 80 percent of the
original delinquent sample and
there was a 35-year gap from
the time they were last inter-
viewed by the Gluecks."

As the first director of the
Environmental Science and Poli-

colleges, James also teaches
two of the program's classes.
Frequently awarded for his
research and teaching skills,
James is a routine science fair
judge and research practicum
advisor for public school stu-
dents,

George Quester, professor with
the Department of Government
and Politics, is frequendy quot-
ed in the media concerning
international affoirs and Ameri-

ca's foreign policies. His early
work focused on nuclear deter-
rence and defense policy,
though he has also done work
on chemical and biological
weapons, hurtian rights and
non-lethal weapons. Many of
those who nominated Quester
point to his in-depth and broad
knowledge as an asset to stu-
dents and colleagues.

Quester expects a lot of his
students, but gives a lot in
return. They note his creativity
and ability to bring real-world
sensibility to broad concepts.
Peers frequently seek his coun-
sel and he is widely credited for
helping to bring the depart-
ment to its current prominent
status.

Peeking Into the Past

The above is an excerpt from the journal of Leonidas Dodson in June 1857, when a slave close to his family
died from complications due to measles (his own daughter died shortly afterward). It reads: "Perhaps hun-
dreds would ridicule my tears and regrets over this little obscure slave. I care not, let others deal as they may.
I cannot feel that the fortuitous circumstances of birth or social condition? changes the relation we sustain
towards, or the sympathy we should feel for our entire race."

Anew exhibit at Hombake Library consid-
ers how the stories of the lives of eight
Marylanders illuminate and reflect larger
historical themes and realities, such as religion,
war, politics, race, careers and family life.

"In the Parlor: The Personal Uves of Marylan-
ders," curated by Jermy Levine, is on display in
the Maryland Room Gallery now through June.
Levine used diaries, letters, photographs, scrap-
books, published materials, government records
and memorabilia from the Libraries' Archives
and Manuscripts Department to create the his-
torical glimpse of Maryland life in the 19th and
20th centuries.

"The people and collections highlighted in
this exhibit span a wide range of political, reli-
gious, social and economic spheres," she says.
"The materials that these people left behind,
either intentionally with the historical record In
mind, or merely as a part of their daily routine,
provide an intimate look at both private and
public life."

Included are the stories of Maryland politi-
cians, women, teachers, scientists, writers and
people involved in the University' of Maryland
community. "In many ways, their lives over-
lapped, although none of the individuals in this
exhibit, to our knowledge, were acquainted
with each other."

Among the items on display is the foUowing
excerpt from the diary of Susan Mathlot Gale, a
young widow and mother living on an estate in
West River, Anne Arundel Coimty, in 1859. Gale
had many suitors, none of whom impressed her
much.

"Poor fellow, he expressed some desire to
sec into my jom^nal, thinking, I suppose,
that he would find something here highly
favorably to himself, or some gentle confes-
sion of love, that could not be breathed to
mortal ears, in which he figured conspicu-
ously. If he could but see it! I could not

help smiling in my sleeve, last evening, as I
thought of alll had written. Mr. R does not
love me. I do not mind that so much. I do
not wish nor expect to inspire love; but it
is his air of easy assurance which provokes
me. He acts as though he thought me a
very easy game to bag. Try it sir!"

Levine hopes that visitors to the exhibit will
see that even simple records can provide valu-
able information and "combined with official
records and other documentation, [can)
become part of the historical record and help
future generations learn about past history In a
very personal way."

Saying 'See You Later'

PMOtO Bli MONETTE AUSTIN BAI'LEV

Maggie Sridwell (center), who looks forward to doing more traveling, shares
a laugh with Marsha GuBnzler-Stevens, director of activities for campus pro-
grams, and Bernie Kerchner, with the Accreditation Association for
Ambulatory Health Care. Both have known Bridwell for more than 15 years.

F

riends wore tags that read, "Hello, my name is . I

have known Maggie for — — - years in association with
." Some wrote "forever" in the second blank.

At Ma^e Bridwell's retirement "Mocktails with Maggie"
reception last week, many came by the golf course clubhouse to
swap stories about the former director of the University Health
Center. Bridwell stepped down fiom her position last sirauner,
after 33 years of inspiring change.

"I'm proud that we could take a fairly conservative unit to
one that grew along witli the university," she said of the center,
during a later interview. She is widely credited with helping
establish the center's women's health component and for being
a tireless advocate for safe sex.

As testament to her work, potted plants decorated with
condoins and safe sex pamphlets were spread around the room.
Photos of Bridwell over the years were interspersed witli pre-
scription botdes and books to which she contributed. Former
assistant vice president for student affairs Dm Bagwell acted as
the evening's host.

Friends and fans told stories of Bridwell's early days on the
campus, of her ongoing campaign for accreditation for univer-
sity healthcare units and of her efforts on behalf of those sexu-
ally assaulted and abused.
