Malaclemmys  terrapin  terrapin 


Could  you  go  for  a  hot  bowl  of  turtle  soup  right  now? 
How  about  some  candied  turtle  eggs?  If  these  delicacies 
don't  appeal  to  you,  you're  part  of  the  reason  for  the 
growing  terrapin  population. 

There  are  reasons  for  differing  terminology  describ- 
ing "turtles."  A  tortoise  stays  strictly  on  land,  his  stump- 
shaped  limbs  being  unsuited  for  anything  else.  A  terra- 
pin, on  the  other  hand,  is  a  fresh  or  brackish  water 
beast  which  supports  whole  industries  with  its  valuable 
meat.  All  others  are  called  turtles. 

Turtles  have  played  interesting  roles  in  folk  lore 
through  the  ages.  They  have  been  worshipped  by 
ancient  civilizations,  honored  as  the  symbol  of  longevity 
and  righteousness  in  old  China,  associated  with  virtuous 
women  in  Shakespeare  and  in  Greek  mythology,  and 


depended  on  as  determiner  of  Chinese  rulers,  who  read 
cracks  in  scorched  turtle  shells  for  this  information. 

Fossil  remains  suggesting  that  turtles  are  perhaps  the 
oldest  living  animal  have  been  found  from  pre-dinosaur 
days.  Probably  the  largest  land  tortoise  known,  and  cer- 
tainly the  largest  North  American  species,  was  "Testudo 
lourisekressmanni,"  whose  shell  was  over  seven  feet 
long.  Testudo,  we  salute  you! 

And  to  the  Northern  Diamondback  Terrapin,  who 
likes  to  bask  on  a  sunny  day,  who  hibernates  in  mud 
bottoms  of  streams  and  ponds,  whose  young  are  adept 
escape  artists,  and  who,  with  man's  waning  desire  for 
its  highly  favored  meat,  may  live  to  over  40  years  — 
STOLAT!

Maryland  has  been  called  "Little 
America"  for  its  variety  of  land- 
scapes. Mountains,  plateaus,  river 
valleys  and  coastline;  Maryland 
has  them  all.  Productive  farmlands 
and  big  cities  have  arisen  from  this 
geography. 

The  University  of  Maryland  has 
several  campuses  throughout  the 
state,  with  probably  the  largest 
variety  of  course  matter  of  any 
institution  of  higher  learning  in  the 
state.  It's  main  campus,  the  College 
Park  campus,  lies  in  the  growing 
metropolitan  area  on  the  Eastern 
Seaboard. 

Located  between  the  nation's 
capital  and  Baltimore  city.  College 
Park  is  convenient  to  both.  Students 
can  easily  get  down  to  Washington 
to  enjoy  its  world  famous  attrac- 
tions. It  was  especially  busy  this  last 
election  year.  Baltimore's  strate- 
gically located  harbor  on  the  Ches- 
apeake Bay  and  its  melting  pot  of 
cultural  background  makes  it  an 
increasingly  noteworthy  city. 


The  organizations  on  page  bottoms  have  contributed  to  the  1  977  Terrapin.  We  urge  you  to  patronize  them. 


Across  Route  One  from  the  area 
around  the  Chapel  is  Harrison  labo- 
ratory, more  familiarly  known  as 
the  greenhouse.  Here  plants  from 
all  over  the  world  are  propagated, 
grown,  and  experimented  with.  All 
are  properly  labeled  with  species 
name  and  other  pertinent  informa- 
tion. 

The  horticulture,  botany,  ento- 
mology, and  agronomy  depart- 
ments all  conduct  research,  classes, 
and  experiments  in  Harrison  lab. 
Research  ranges  from  the  diseases 
of  plants  to  the  effects  of  poten- 
tially toxic  elements  in  an  urban 
atmosphere  on  plants. 

Care  is  taken  to  bring  tropical 
plants  indoors  for  the  winter  and  to 
keep  the  plants  healthy  by  spraying 
for  insects  which  might  damage  the 
plants.  Simply  touching  one  plant 
and  then  another  can  spread  a 
plant  virus.  Those  who  work  in  the 
greenhouse  must  know  much  about 
the  workings  of  plants. 

For  most  of  us,  though,  the 
greenhouse  is  a  place  of  serene 
enjoyment,  an  escape  from  the 
hub-bub  of  campus  life^

Compliments  of  Maryland  Student  Union. 


II 


In  our  investigation  of  the  animal  sources  of  human  behavior  we 
need  not,  fortunately,  give  critical  attention  to  such  of  our  qualities  as 
seem  exclusively  human.  The  Illusion  of  Central  Position,  if  it  exists, 
may  perhaps  be  one  of  these.  But  before  we  pass  on  to  a  concept  more 
appropriate  to  our  investigations,  one  paradoxical  footnote  should  be 
added  to  the  brief  little  story  of  man's  grand  illusion.  The  theory  states 
that  maturity  is  achieved  by  the  acceptance  of  reality  and  the  capacity 
to  absorb  each  disillusionment  and  still  keep  going.  Nonetheless  the 
theory  grants  that  should  a  man  ever  attain  a  state  of  total  maturity  — 
ever  come  to  see  himself  in  other  words,  in  perfect  mathematical  rela- 
tionship to  the  two  and  one-half  billion  members  of  his  species,  and 
that  species  in  perfect  mathematical  relationship  to  the  tide  of  tumul- 
tuous life  which  has  risen  upon  the  earth  and  in  which  we  represent  but 
a  single  swell;  and  furthermore  come  to  see  our  earth  as  but  one 
opportunity  for  life  among  uncounted  millions  in  our  galaxy  alone,  and 
our  galaxy  as  but  one  statistical  improbability,  nothing  more,  in  the 
silent  mathematics  of  all  things  —  should  a  man,  in  sum,  ever  achieve 
the  final,  total,  truthful  Disillusionment  of  Central  Position,  then  in  all 
likelihood,  he  would  no  longer  keep  going  but  would  simply  lie  down, 
wherever  he  happened  to  be,  and  with  a  long-drawn  sigh  return  to  the 
oblivion  from  which  he  came. 


—  from  Afficon  Genesis  by  Robert  Ardrey 
Atheneum  Publishers,  N.Y.;  1  961  by  Literat  S.A. 


Ardrey's  thesis  is  that  as  babies, 
we  experience  the  "Illusion  of  Cen- 
tral Position."  All  revolves  around 
us,  and  we  think  that  we  are  indeed 
the  center  of  the  universe.  As  we 
grow  older  we  find  this  is  not  so. 
Each  human  experience  becomes  a 
"Disillusionment  of  Central  Posi- 
tion," and  if  we  were  to  succumb  to 
our  more  existential  instincts,  we 
might  indeed  "lie  down  and  return 
to  the  oblivion  from  which  we 
came." 

Most  of  us  don't,  though,  so 
either  we  have  not  yet  achieved  the 
"final,  total,  truthful  Disillusionment 


of  Central  Position"  (though 
armory  registration  certainly 
approaches  this),  or  we  choose  to 
ignore  it,  and  so,  we  continue  to 
continue.  We  "keep  on  keepin' 
on." 

Yet  we  seem  to  have  achieved  a 
remarkable  ability  to  jettison  the 
pent-up  frustrations  of  each  disillu- 
sionment against  others  —  other 
humans,  other  life,  other  environ- 
ments. Many  say  that  mankind  has, 
had,  and  always  will  have  a  natural 
instinct  for  destruction.  (Remember 
"Planet  of  the  Apes"). 

Dr.   Louis  B.  Leakey,  the  late 


anthropologist,  said  in  the  October 
28,  1973  "Washington  Star," 
"The  nuclear  bomb  is  not  the  only 
method  of  destruction.  We  encoun- 
ter daily  thousands  of  events  in 
which  we  are  slowly  destroying 
ourselves.  Of  course  there  is  air 
and  water  pollution.  Less  known 
but  equally  important  are  noise 
pollution  and  the  depletion  of  our 
natural  resources.  There's  govern- 
ment pollution  and  'mind'  pollution, 
both  destroying  our  mental  state. 
There's  social  pollution  as  incidents 
in  our  social  lives  cause  inner  tur- 
moil.  Witness   the   increase   in   sui-

The  Disillusionment 
of  Central  Position 


cides.  If  we  let  our  environment 
slide  like  this,  the  end  may  come 
sooner  than  we  think.  In  25  years, 
there  will  be  no  oil  left  on  the  earth. 
In  35  years,  the  ozone  layer  might 
be  gone  and  skin  cancer  would 
become  rampant.  In  50  years,  our 
government  might  be  gone.  In  one 
year,  our  minds  might  be  gone. 

"R.  Buckminster  Fuller,  called  by 
many  the  'visionary  genius  of  our 
time,'  has  written:  'Earth  is  a  very 
small  spaceship.  We  are  all  astro- 
nauts. Each  human  is  a  whole  uni- 
verse .  .  .  Coping  with  the  totality 
of  spaceship  earth  and  universe  is 


ahead  for  all  of  us.'  Our  'space- 
ship' may  be  coming  to  the  end  of 
its  voyage.  Fuller  has  also  pointed 
out  that  there  are  28,000  pounds 
of  explosives  for  every  human 
being  on  earth." 

As  we  go  to  classes,  parties, 
work,  and  take  exams,  these  prob- 
lems seem  far  removed.  Ironically, 
they  are  closer  than  ever,  because 
at  the  university,  people  attempt  to 
solve  environmental  problems. 
Research  related  to  energy  sources 
and  conservation,  pollution  and 
other  environmental  concerns  goes 
on  all  around  us. 


Packed  into  the  confines  of  the 
buildings  and  minds  on  this  cam- 
pus, a  world  of  knowledge  is  stored 
and  explored.  Thoughts  and  princi- 
ples of  universal  concern  are 
passed  from  seeker  to  seeker  with 
hopes  that  persistent  study  will 
bring  solutions  to  universal  prob- 
lems. 

That's  what  this  school,  this 
world  microcosm,  is  all  about.  It's  a 
universe-ity.

Our  Ever-Changing  Surroundings 


Less  immediate  than  solving  the 
environmental  problems  of  the 
v/orld,  but  perhaps  more  intimate, 
is  the  problem  of  keeping  up  the 
environment  of  a  university  which 
started  over  76  years  ago. 

It  seems  the  construction,  tearing 
down,  surveying  and  reconstruction 
of  this  campus  will  never  end. 
When  a  new  building  is  not  begin- 
ning to  appear,  or  an  old  one  is  not 
being  rejuvenated,  a  water  line  will 
be  sure  to  burst.

Or  university  planners  will  come 
up  with  a  puzzling  construction 
scheme,  with  bulldozers  and  work- 
ers bustling  like  ants  around  a 
mound  of  dirt  on  traffic  circle  until  a 
huge  "M"  suddenly  blooms. 

Meanwhile,  parts  of  campus 
remain  unlit.  In  these  areas  on  a 
moonless  night,  an  unescorted  stu- 
dent can  barely  see  ten  feet  in  front 
of  her. 

"The  geniuses  who  started  this 
university  built  it  right  on  a  flood 
plain,"  a  botany  professor  might 
chuckle.  A  student  caught  in  the 
rain  wearing  open-toed  shoes  and 
socks  grumbles  at  the  same 
thought. 

But  for  all  its  inaccuracies  of 
planning,  construction  is  a  sign  of 
progress  —  and  progress  we  must. 
The  bulldozers  and  cranes  and 
whistling  construction  workers 
remain  an  integral  part  of  this  cam- 
pus.

The  Student  Union 


Our  environment  is  not  just  con- 
fined to  plants,  animals,  water,  air, 
and  such.  According  to  Webster's, 
environment  can  be  defined  as  "all 
the  conditions  .  .  .  and  influences 
.  .  .  affecting  the  development  of 
an  organism."  We  are  that  organ- 
ism; and  our  social  atmosphere 
must  also  be  considered  as  a  major 
influence. 

In  fact,  it  is  our  social  environ- 
ment which,  we  would  presume, 
most  students  would  consider  the 
vital  port  of  the  college.  One  place 
on  campus  is  solely  devoted  to  sat- 
isfying this  social  need.  That  place, 
of  course,  is  the  Student  Union.

How  many  places  on  campus 
can  qualify  for  the  name  Student 
Union? 

A  good  number  for  sure.  The 
libraries  are  filled  with  students 
studying,  the  dorms  are  filled  with 
students  living.  U.S.  1  has  them  rec- 
reating, neighboring  businesses 
have  them  working  and,  of  course, 
the  dining  halls  have  them  eating. 

But  the  only  place  where  we  can 
do  all  without  stepping  outside  is  in 
that  complicated  structure  on  Cam- 
pus Drive  worth  the  words  'Student 
Union'  etched  in  its  facade.  And  the 
words  don't  lie. 

Here  united  under  one  roof  ore 
students  living,  studying,  sleeping, 
recreating  and  doing  everything 
else.  Few  truly  appreciate  the  ser- 
vices and  opportunities  available  to 
them. 

The  Student  Union  is  as  integral 
a  part  of  many  students'  environ- 
ment as  the  air  they  breathe.

The  mall  offers  an  outlet  for 
ploy,  a  backdrop  for  fun,  a  place  to 
relax  in  the  fresh  air.  it's  a  wide 
open  space,  a  place  away  from  the 
lines  in  the  buildings,  the  crowds  in 
the  halls.  It's  a  place  to  study 
peacefully,  to  sing  and  moke  music, 
or  to  swing  through  the  trees.

The  mall  is  one  of  many  places 
on  campus  to  release  the  energies 
of  commitment,  to  dispel  the  anxie- 
ties of  classes  and  exams,  or  just  to 
shoot  the  breeze. 

In  an  environment  such  as  the 
University,  where  pressures  are 
great  and  expectations  are  high, 
outlets  for  play  are  vital  to  remain- 
ing a  healthy  person. 

No  amount  of  determination, 
drive  or  desire  can  override  the 
need  you  don't  grow  out  of  —  the 
need  to  play.

As  well  as  providing  musical 
tapes,  films,  and  reading  for 
entertainment,  the  university 
libraries  have  shelves  of  volumes 
of  the  best  resource  we  hove  — 
recorded  knowledge. 

The  libraries,  with  their  col- 
umns reminiscent  of  an  ancient 
past,  remind  one  of  times  when 
few  privileged  people  had  the 
skills  even  to  read  and  write. 

They  remind  one  of  a  distant 
past,  when  conquerors  enslaved 
and  destroyed  their  less  aggres- 
sive fellows;  when  the  library  of 
the  city  of  Alexandria,  flourish- 
ing capital  of  a  great  empire, 
was  burned  to  the  ground.  We 
will  never  know  what  knowledge 
was  destroyed  along  with  it.

Today,  in  this  country  at  least, 
you're  in  the  minority  if  you  don't 
hove  the  skills  to  at  least  read  and 
write. 

In  fact,  the  volume  of  human 
knowledge  is  increasing  so  rapidly 
that  it  has  been  said  that  if  we 
deplete  the  earth's  resources,  and 
thus  its  ability  to  support  human 
life,  or  if  the  sun  runs  out  of  gas,  or 
if  some  other  catastrophe  befalls 
us,  that  human  knowledge  will 
have  progressed  to  a  point  where 
travel  to  another  planet  will  be  pos- 
sible. It  has  been  said  that  we  will 
be  able  to  colonize  a  new  world. 

One  wonders  just  how  distant 
this  future  will  be.

Forty  hour  work  weeks,  movies 
at  night,  and  weekend  trips  to  the 
beach  or  mountains.  This  is  what 
the  college  student  must  give  up 
when  he  regretfully  sulks  back  to 
school  to  continue  his  studies.  But 
one  small  item  still  remains  to  be 
accounted  for  on  the  agenda.  That 
small  item  is  known  as,  alas,  mov- 
ing in. 

The  end  of  summer  comes  too 
abruptly  for  most  people.  Just 
when  the  weather  becomes  less 
humid  and  it's  wonderful  to  be  out- 
side, the  realities  of  the  upcoming 
semester  are  upon  us.  There's  tui- 
tion to  pay,  books  to  buy,  courses 
to  get,  and  of  course,  moving  in. 

The  end  of  summer  beckons  the 
dusting  off  of  foot  lockers  and  the

gathering  of  fall  clothes  out  of  the 
mothballs,  even  though  the  temper- 
ature's still  in  the  90's.  The  time  has 
come  to  leave  behind  the  carefree 
partying  of  summer  and  to  begin 
the  serious  business  of  school.  The 
transition  between  the  two  is  occu- 
pied by  a  unique  process  called 
moving  in. 

The  modus  operandi  of  moving 
in  involves  the  coordinated  efforts 
of  many.  Friends  aid  in  the  transfer 
of  furniture  and  stereos.  Girlfriends 
/boyfriends  offer  advice  regarding 
interior  decorating.  Parents  help, 
brothers  and  sisters  help.  But  the 
whole  process  has  one  goal:  to  set 
up  an  environment  in  which  the  stu- 
dent con  survive  the  activities  of  the 
months  to  come.

All  Maryland  students  are  mem- 
bers of,  and  are  served  by  the  Stu- 
dent Government  Association.  With 
this  membership  more  than  30,000 
full  time  undergraduates  are  eligi- 
ble to  vote  and  run  for  office  in  the 
student  government. 

SGA  is  the  parent  organization 
for  student  groups  and  extra-curric- 
ular activities.  The  SGA  receives 
money  for  funding  these  student 
organizations  through  the  student 
activities  fee.  These  funds  are  used 
under  student  direction  for  funding 
projects  which  serve  the  needs  of 
the  student  body. 

Of  special  concern  to  the  SGA 
this  year  is  a  day  core  center  for 
students  and  faculty.  SGA  is  also 
developing  a  legal  aid  office  that  is 
effective  in  dealing  with  the  legal 
problems  some  students  may  face. 
The  SGA  would  also  like  to  publish 
a  newsletter  making  their  decisions 
and  activities  more  well  known 
among  the  student  body.  A  "whole 
earth"  teacher  rating  catalog*  is 
another  of  this  year's  projects. 

Through  the  SGA  students  have 
a  way  of  expressing  themselves  to 
those  within  the  University  Adminis- 
tration. 

The  SGA  is  your  voice  in  this 
maze  of  red  tape.  It  exists  for  your 
service,  enjoyment  and  participa- 
tion —  you  belong.

Baseball 


After  several  uninspiring  sea- 
sons, the  Maryland  baseball  team 
rebounded  in  1976  to  record  its 
best  year  in  quite  a  while.  The  Ter- 
rapins finished  a  strong  second 
behind  Clemson  in  the  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference. 

When  the  Terps  lost  their  first  six 
games,  some  observers  predicted  a 
long  spring.  But  with  a  one-two 
pitching  punch  of  Bob  Ferris  and 
Mike  Brashears  and  the  hitting  of 
Darrel  Corradini  and  Steve  Fratta- 
roli,  coach  Jack  Jackson's  crew 
went  on  a  12-1-1  tear,  and  sailed 
through  the  rest  of  the  regular  sea- 
son without  much  difficulty. 


For  the  first  time  in  the  four-year 
history  of  the  ACC  baseball  tourna- 
ment, Maryland  advanced  past  the 
first  round  with  a  tight  10-9  win 
over  Duke.  The  Terps  then  finished 
second  in  the  four-team  double- 
elimination  segment  of  the  tourney. 

Even  though  Ferris  was  drafted 
by  and  signed  with  the  California 
Angels,  and  even  though  the  aesth- 
etics of  Shipley  Field  were  dam- 
aged when  the  athletic  department 
removed  the  wooden  bleachers 
from  the  concrete  stands,  Maryland 
baseball  appears  back  on  its  feet, 
ready  to  odd  to  the  ACC  titles  it 
won  in  1965,  1  970,  and  1971.

Cross  Country  Meet 

Duke  at  Maryland 

September  25, 1976 

Final  Score 

Maryland  26         Duke  29 


The  Duke  cross-country  team 
runners  were  the  defending  chom- 
pions  in  the  A.C.C.  Maryland's  vic- 
tory put  an  end  to  Duke's  25  con- 
secutive dual-meet  win  streak. 

Although  Duke's  Robbie  Perkins, 
who  was  the  A.C.C.'s  individual 
champ,  finished  first  in  the  race, 
Maryland  was  able  to  win  the 
meet.  Maryland  runners  Mike  Wil- 
helm  and  Dave  Cornwell  finished 
second  and  third  respectively,  while 
another  Maryland  runner,  Peter 
Gleason,  came  in  fifth. 

The  cross  country  course  is  on 
the  University  of  Maryland's  golf 
course  and  is  S'/s  miles  in  distance.

Although  the  Terrapins'  dream 
of  an  unprecedented  second 
straight  NCAA  lacrosse  champion- 
ship went  down  the  drain  with  a  1  6- 
1  3  overtime  loss  to  Cornell  in  the 
title  game  at  Providence,  R.I.,  the 
1  976  season  cannot  be  written  off 
as  a  failure. 

Coach  Bud  Beardmore's  troops 
had  won  all  their  previous  encoun- 
ters before  meeting  Cornell,  includ- 
ing easy  triumphs  over  Brown  and 
Navy  in  the  earlier  rounds  of  the 
NCAA  playoffs. 

Led  by  seniors  Frank  Urso,  Mike 
Farrell  and  Ed  Mullen,  Maryland 
opened  the  season  with  a  shaky 
12-10  overtime  win  at  North  Caro- 
lina and  then  reeled  off  impressive 
victories  over  Princeton,  the  Mt. 
Washington  club,  UMBC  and  the 
Australian  All-Stars.

Virginia  appeared  likely  to  burst 
the  Terp  bubble  when  the  Cavaliers 
canne  from  four  goals  behind  in  the 
final  minutes  to  send  the  game  into 
extra  periods.  The  Terrapins  mirac- 
ulously recovered,  however,  and 
scored  eight  goals  in  overtime 
while  not  allowing  Virginia  a  shot 
on  goal. 

Maryland's  only  other  rough 
season  game  was  a  rainy  16-14 
conquest  of  Washington  &  Lee, 
sandwiched  in  between  routs  of 
Navy,  Army  and  of  course  Johns 
Hopkins.

USA/ USSR  Track  Meet 


Only  one  week  after  connpeting 
in  the  Montreal  Olympics,  the  top 
runners  from  the  Soviet  Union  and 
the  United  States  tangled  in  their 
annual  dual  meet  held  for  the  first 
time  in  Byrd  Stadium. 

Though  most  athletes  were 
exhausted  from  the  rigors  of  Mont- 
real and  the  conditions  were  ham- 
pered by  rain,  there  were  a  number 
of  outstanding  performances  by 
both  squads. 

The  Soviets,  led  by  an  outstand- 
ing women's  team,  captured  the 
meet  for  the  tenth  time  in  twelve 
years,  with  Ludmilla  Bragina  setting 
the  world  record  in  the  3,000  meter 
run  and  their  mile  relay  team  also 
breaking  the  world  mark.  Maryland 
freshman  Paula  Girven  represented 
the  USA  in  track. 

Excellent  performances  by  gold 
medalists  Mac  Wilkins  (discus),  Ed 
Moses  (400  meter  hurdles)  and 
Arnie  Robinson  (long  jump),  high- 
lighted the  men's  portion  for  the 
USA.

The  Maryland  Soccer  team  just 
made  the  NCAA  Southern  Regional 
last  season,  only  to  lose  to  the 
Howard  University  Bisons,  3-1.  The 
key  game  of  the  season  was  the 
road  match  vs.  Clemson  University, 
the  number  one  ranked  team  in  the 
country. 

In  that  game,  the  Terps  stunned 
the  Tigers  with  a  1-1  tie.  Heavily 
favored  Clemson  had  led  with  just 
five  minutes  to  go  and  6000  fans 
sounded  like  60000.  Then,  senior 
halfback  Gonzalo  Soto  took  the 
ball  and  masterfully  dribbled  past 
two  Tiger  defensemen  to  face  the 
goalie.  Soto  faked  to  the  right  and 
then  left-footed  the  ball  into  the 
open  side  of  the  net.  That  goal  put 
the  Terps  in  the  playoffs.

In  the  beginning  there  was  rain. 
Then  there  were  losses.  And  finally 
there  were  wins.  That's  the  only 
way  to  describe  the  season  for  the 
Terrapin  field  hockey  team.  The 
fourteen  game  schedule  was  rap- 
idly reduced  to  ten  as  rain  muddied 
the  field  to  an  unplayable  state  for 
the  first  four  games.  Those  matches 
were  never  played. 

Unfortunately,  the  stickers 
started  playing  after  every  one  else 
had  a  few  games  under  their  belt. 
The  inexperienced  Terps  fell  victim 
to  superior  teams  in  the  next  five 
contests.  However,  a  5-0  triumph 
over  American  University  started 
the  Terps  on  a  five  game  winning 
streak,  ending  the  season  with  an 
impressive  4-0  shutout  of  Mary 
Washington. 

The  late  season  surge  enabled 
the  stickers  to  go  to  a  post-season 
tournament,  but  were  easily 
defeated  by  second-ranked  Ursinus 
in  the  first  round  of  the  tournament.

Since  Title  IX  has  demanded 
equal  opportunities,  the  Universi- 
ty's women's  athletic  program  has 
completed  its  first  year  with  women 
playing  on  athletic  scholarships, 
and  has  been  equally  as  successful 
as  the  men. 

The  Terp's  winning  basketball 
team  had  six  players  splitting  three 
and  one-half  scholarships,  includ- 
ing two  talented  freshmen,  Jane 
Conolly  from  Lewisdale  and  Krystal 
Kimrey  from  North  Carolina.

Basketball  and  all  women's  sports  owe  much  to  Title  IX 


The  track  team  was  pleased  to 
have  with  them  freshman  Paula 
Girven,  an  Olympic  jumper  and  an 
athletic  scholarship  recipient.  The 
volleyball  team  again,  for  the  third 
consecutive  year,  traveled  to  the 
National  tournament  after  winning 
the  Regionals.  And  talent  was  dis- 
played by  women  in  every  single 
sport. 

In  all,  41  women  were  awarded 
a  total  of  25  scholarships  in  this, 
the  first  year  of  such  a  program. 
This  first  year  was  only  part  of  a 
three-year  phasing-in  period  in 
which  a  total  of  65  scholarships  will 
be  awarded.  Next  year,  21  grants 
will  be  given  to  deserving  women, 
and  1  9  the  following  year. 

The  breakdown  of  recipients  in 
this  initial  year  was  as  follows: 
seven  each  in  field  hockey, 
lacrosse,  and  volleyball,  nine  in 
track,  six  in  basketball,  and  five 
among  gymnastics,  swimming  and 
tennis. 

As  far  as  the  decisions  on  schol- 
arships recipients.  Women's  Ath- 
letic Director  Chris  Weller  said  she 
wanted  to  meet  the  needs  of  the 
people  already  on  the  teams  and 
to  award  the  grants  to  players  who 
could  enhance  the  team's  perform- 
ance. And  it  seems  that  she  suc- 
ceeded.

Spikers  Win  Eastern  Regionals

Nancy  Carroll,  Janet  Borrick,  Carol  Brice,  Jackie 
McCobe,  Karen  Remeikas,  Cathy  Stevenson,  Bonnie

The  task  facing  Coach  Barbara 
Drum  was  unenviable.  Much  of  her 
senior-laden  squad  fronn  1  975  had 
graduated  and  the  1 976  crew  was 
both  small  and  inexperienced.  But 
skillful  plays  led  by  Barb  Yakely 
highlighted  the  year's  games  as  the 
team  battled  into  the  national  tour- 
nament for  the  second  year  in  a 
row. 

The  Terps  finished  the  regular 
season  with  an  inspired  win  on  the 
road  at  Georgetown  University, 
boosting  the  season's  mark  to  19 
wins  and  1  1  defeats.  Georgetown 
kept  close  all  through  the  match 
only  to  have  Terps  Barbara  Bunting 
and  Carol  Brice  dominate  plays 
later  in  the  game.  This  win  set  the 
stage  for  the  Terps'  dominance  in 


the  Maryland  State  tournament. 

The  biggest  surprise  for  Coach 
Barbara  Drum  and  her  troops  came 
at  the  Eastern  Regionals  in  late 
November.  They  won.  Few  had 
expected  the  Terps  to  take  their 
first  regional  title  ever.  But  they  did 
with  magnificent  teamwork.  Coach 
Drum  cited  Carol  Brice  and  Mary 
Duckworth  for  their  outstanding 
leadership  as  the  team  battered 
Slippery  Rock,  Delaware,  and  Cort- 
land State  twice  to  win  the  prize. 

Winning  the  Regionals  was  the 
highlight  of  the  season  however,  as 
the  spikers  failed  to  make  much 
noise  at  the  National  tournament  in 
Austin,  Texas.  They  could  only 
manage  one  victory.  Eastern  Ken- 
tucky, against  four  defeats.

The  team  was  led  by  returnees 
Abbi  Greenfield  and  Anita  Venner 
in  addition  to  Suzanne  Green,  the

Arts  and  Crafts  and  Turtles 


Homecoming  would  not  be  the 
same  if  it  weren't  for  the  Annual 
Arts  and  Crafts  Fair.  Thursday  and 
Friday  of  the  big  week  found  the 
Undergraduate  Library  mall  filled 
with  the  handiwork  of  local  crafts- 
men. 

Over  80  artisans  displayed  their 
wares  ranging  from  dulcimers  to 
candles  to  dolls  and  artwork.  For 
most  of  those  who  paid  the  $2.00 
fee  to  set  up  shop,  the  two-day 
event  turned  out  to  be  quite  profit- 
able, as  students  seemed  to  find 
bargain  prices  everywhere  they 
turned.

Undaunted  by  deternnined  competi- 
tion, Sigma  Alpha  Mu's  "Sammy" 
took  on  all  comers  Friday  afternoon 
and  came  away  reigning  champion  of 
the  second  annual  Terrapin  Derby. 

Over  400  onlookers  lined  the  mall 
and  cheered  their  favorite  turtle  down 
the  20-foot  ramp.  Several  contestants 
chose  to  spend  the  race  basking  in  the 
midday  sun  or  running  around  in  cir- 
cles, but  most  races  provided  thrills 
and  spills  reminiscent  of  the  Indianap- 
olis 500. 

Testudo  was  especially  proud  of  his 
kinfolk.

The  scene  in  parking  lot  V  was 
chaotic  at  5:00  p.m.  However,  out 
of  chaos  came  order  as  the  parade 
started  down  narrow  Lehigh  Rd.  at 
the  prescribed  time  of  5:30  p.m. 
From  the  twelve  floats  which 
entered  the  competition,  Phi  Sigma 
Kappa's  and  Kappa  Alpha  Theta's 
entries  impressed  the  judges  most 
of  all.  The  procession  wound  its 
way  along  Regents  and  Stadium 
Drives  to  its  conclusion  on  Denton 
Beach.  The  University  Marching 
Band  provided  music  along  the 
route.  The  parade  may  have  been 
a  bit  disappointing,  but  the  beer 
seemed  to  drown  out  whatever  sor- 
rows there  were.

There  were  thirty  kegs  of  beer,  at 
least  800  party-goers,  and  a  spirit 
which  seemed  to  guarantee  "keep- 
ing the  bowl  rolling"  for  the  follow- 
ing day's  football  game. 

The  combination  pep  rally/bon- 
fire/mixer took  place  on  a  some- 
iwhat  chilly  Friday  evening  along 
the  ex-overflow  parking  area 
known  as  Denton  Beach. 


Head  football  coach  Jerry  Clai- 
borne promised  a  victory  over

Dancers 

Against 

Cancer 


One  weekend  last  October,  Phi 
Sigma  Delta  sponsored  its  seventh 
annual  marathon  dance.  Origi- 
nally, proceeds  from  the  marathons 
were  donated  to  the  Muscular  Dys- 
trophy Foundation,  but  for  the  past 
four  years  they  have  been  given  to 
the  American  Cancer  Society. 

Last    year's    marathon    drew 


5,000  spectators  to  Ritchie  Coli- 
seum, all  eager  to  watch  46  deter- 
mined couples  dance,  march,  strut 
and  wheeze  against  cancer.  A 
whopping  $40,000  was  collected 
for  the  cause. 

Rest    up,    because    you're    all 
invited  next  year!

Vegetarian  Cooking 


In  front  of  the  Student  Union, 
students  ore  often  drown  to  an 
area  under  the  trees  where  Hari 
Krishna  dispense  fruit  and  invita- 
tions to  their  vegetarian  cooking 
class. 

There,  Hari  Krishna  welcome  the 
regulars  and  the  curious  with  dis- 
cussions of  the  higher  plane  of  con- 
sciousness which  can  be  obtained 


by  adopting  a  vegetarian  diet.  The 
talk  is  followed  by  food. 

A  Dohl  consisting  of  beans  and 
vegetables,  followed  by  saffron 
rice,  buckwheat  cakes,  cauliflower 
fried  with  chick  pea  flour,  chick 
peas  with  spices,  milk  candy,  and 
tammarond  tea  make  a  delicious 
meal.

Stokely 
Carmichael 


Stressing  audience  participation, 
Stokely  Carmichael  conducted  a 
speaking  session  in  which  emotions 
ran  high. 

He  spoke  of  the  exploitation 
which  still  oppresses  Black  people, 
and  from  which  organization  is 
their  only  release. 

Carmichael  suggested  song  lyr- 
ics as  an  effective  form  of  commu- 
nication to  organize  people.  The 
enemy  must  then  be  identified  and 
fought  with  a  carefully  planned 
course  of  action   if  oppression   of 


Blacks  is  to  cease.  Carmichael 
defined  this  enemy  as  "racist  impe- 
rialism," and  said  that  to  overthrow 
it.  Blacks  must  work  from  without 
and  within. 

Realizing  that  this  procedure 
takes  time,  Carmichael  emphasized 
that  the  speed  with  which  victory 
comes  is  not  the  major  issue.  Strug- 
gle is.  The  only  way  for  Blacks  to 
progress,  he  said,  is  to  realize  that 
the  struggle  is  a  constant  one,  and 
to  join  in  combating  exploitation.

Research  with  hallucinogenic 
drugs  and  the  "serene  stupidity"  of 
Hinduism  are  behind  Tinnothy  Leary 
now.  Last  October  he  spoke  futuris- 
tically  about  living  in  space. 

Leary's  new  philosophy  pictures 
planets  as  mere  way-stations  in 
future  human  space  travel.  Space  is 
man's  natural  habitat,  says  Leary, 
and  the  radical  technological 
developments  of  recent  years 
should  soon  convince  the  rest  of  us 
of  this  fact. 

"I  just  want  to  make  you  think," 
Leary  said.  "This  is  my  job  as  a  phi- 
losopher."

The  University  Commuters  Asso- 
ciation worked  to  hove  on  area 
north  of  the  complexes  designated 
as  a  place  away  from  the  traffic 
and  confusion  of  the  rest  of  the 
campus.  People's  Park  was  created 
so  there  would  be  a  natural  escape 
from  crowds  and  pavement.  How- 
ever, shoddy  upkeep  and  careless 
visitors  have  taken  their  toll.

Stagga  Lee 


It  was  a  cloudy  day  in  Sep- 
tember, but  Iota  Phi  Theta  frater- 
nity brought  a  little  sunshine  to 
the  mall  when  it  sponsored  a 
drama  presentation  by  the 
Everyman  Street  Theater  Com- 
pany. 

The  Company,  composed  of 
night  school  students  from  the 
D.C.  area,  sang  and  danced  its 
way  through  a  two-hour  presen- 
tation of  STAGGA  LEE,  a  play 
about  the  "baddest  black  dude 
in  D.C."  With  just  a  minimum 
amount  of  props  and  a  maxi- 
mum amount  of  creativity  the 
Company  managed  to  turn  the 
passerby  into  a  laughing,  clap- 
ping, stationary  audience.

consumer  protection,  personal  free-

Students  who  work  with  Mary- 
PIRG learn  the  skills  of  research 
and  investigation,  public  advocacy 
and  community  organization  as  an 
integral  part  of  their  education, 
and  they  often  receive  academic 
credit  for  their  work.  Under  the 
sponsorship  of  a  faculty  member 
and  the  supervision  of  the  Mary-

field  work,  independent  studies, 
class  projects  and  term  papers  to 
develop  solutions  to  public  prob-

"Initiative  legislation"  was  one 
process  researched  this  year.  This 
process  gives  citizens  the  power  to 
legislate  laws  themselves  instead  of 
being  totally  dependent  on  unres- 
ponsive representatives.  The  safety 
and  costs  of  nuclear  power  were 
also  researched  this  year,  as  well 
as  utilities  issues  such  as  the  waste- 
ful excesses  of  energy  required  by 
large  industries.*

"Now  suppose,"  chortled  Dr.  Breed, 
enjoying  himself,  "that  there  were  many 
possible  ways  m  which  water  could  crystallize , 
could  freeze.  Suppose  that  the  sort  of  ice  we 
skate  upon  and  put  into  highballs  -  what  we 
might  call  ice-one  -is  only  one  of  several  types 
of  ice.  Suppose  water  always  froze  as  ice-one 
because  it  never  had  a  seed  to  teach  it  how  to 
form  ice-two,  ice-three,  ice-four.  .  .?  And 
suppose  that  there  were  one  form ,  which  we  will 
call  ice-nine,  with  a  melting  point  of,  let  us  say , 
one-hundred  degrees  Fahrenheit ,  or,  better  still, 
a  melting  point  of  one-hundred-and-thtrty 
degrees." 

"Allright,  I'm  still  with  you,"  Isaid. 

"Suppose  that  one  threw  a  tiny  seed 
of  ice-nine,  a  new  way  for  the  atoms  of  water 
to  stack  and  lock,  to  freeze,  into  the 
nearest  puddle.  .  .  ?" 

"The  puddle  would  freeze?"  I  guessed. 

'And  all  the  muck  around  the  puddle?" 

"It  would  freeze^  What  about  the  rivers 
and  lakes  the  streams  fed?" 

"They'd  freeze.  But  there  is  no  such 
thing  as  ice-nine" 

"And  the  oceans  the  frozen  rivers  fed?" 

"They'd  freeze,  of  course,"  he  snapped. 
"I  tell  you  again,  it  does  not  exist!" 

" And  the  springs  feeding  the  frozen  lakes 
andstreams,  andallthe  water  underground 
feeding  the  springs?" 

"They'd  freeze,  damn  it!"  he  cried. 

"And  the  ram?" 

"When  it  fell,  it  would  freeze  into  hard 
little  hobnails  of  ice-nme  -and  that  wouldbe 
the  end  of  the  world!" 

Dr.  Breed  was  mistaken  about  at  least 
one  thing:  there  was  such  a  thing  as  ice-nme. 
And  ice-nine  was  on  earth.

the  1975  ice-nine  award 


On  behalf  of  the  next  10,000  generations  of  humans  to  inhabit  Planet  Earth,  we  would 
like  to  bestow  this  little  snowman  upon  the  Atomic  Energy  Commission  (AEC)  of  the  United 
States  of  America,  which,  in  the  name  of  "clean  energy,"  has  already  overseen  the  produc- 
tion of  at  least  400,000  tons  of  highly  radioactive  nuclear  waste,  now  in  storage  at  various 
locations  in  the  U.S.  There  are  many  rare  substances  to  be  found  in  the  AEC's  highly  spe- 
cialized "garbage,"  but  any  one  of  them,  taken  alone,  gives  an  idea  of  the  AEC's  remarka- 
ble achievement  and  demonstrates  just  how  much  the  Commission  deserves  this  year's  Ice- 
Nine  Award:  one-millionth  of  one  gram  of  the  isotope  Plutonium  239,  for  example,  can 
cause  lung  cancer  .  ,  .  one-thousandth  of  a  gram  will  kill  you  (for  comparison,  an  aspirin 
tablet  equals  one  gram)  .  .  .  in  a  year's  time,  a  single  nuclear  power  plant  creates  about 
6,000,000  grams  of  Plutonium  239.  Then,  of  course,  consider  Iodine  1  29,  with  a  "half-life" 
of  1  7  million  years  —  if  ingested,  it  collects  in  the  thyroid  gland  and  remains  there  forever, 
bombarding  surrounding  tissues  with  cancer-producing  radiation.  One  might  also  mention 
Strontium  90,  which  accumulates  in  bone  cells,  and  likewise  Cesium  1  37,  which  emits  radia- 
tion capable  of  penetrating  anything  short  of  a  thick  lead  shield. 

The  Ice-Nine  Award  also  shows  our  deep  appreciation  for  the  AEC's  support  of  the  Price- 
Anderson  Act  of  1957,  a  Federal  law  that  restricts  an  electric  power  company's  liabilities 
for  a  large-scale  nuclear  accident.  A  study  commissioned  and  later  suppressed  by  the  AEC 
in  1965  showed  that  a  major  nuclear  accident  would  kill  45,000  people  immediately,  seri- 
ously injure  another  1  00,000  and  would  cause  roughly  1  7-billion  dollars  damage.  The  AEC 
was  talking  about  relatively  small  atomic  power  plants  back  then  —  a  radiation  leak  of 
only  one  percent  from  the  Barnwell  Nuclear  Fuel  Plant  in  South  Carolina  (scheduled  to 
begin  operation  in  1976)  would  permanently  poison  over  30,000  square  miles  of  land, 
causing  perhaps  10-billion  dollars  damage.  The  Price-Anderson  Act  limits  liability  for  such  a 
catastrophe  to  560-million  dollars,  most  of  which  would  come  from  the  Federal  government. 
There  remains  the  inevitability  of  less  "serious"  radiation  —  besides  emissions  from  the 
plant  itself,  there  will  be  a  slow,  constant  leakage  from  truck  and  trains  carrying  nuclear 
materials  to  and  from  the  Barnwell  facility  (one  such  shipment  will  originate  in  Portland, 
Oregon,  following  a  route  not  yet  publicly  known). 

Finally,  we  offer  one  more  reason  why  the  Atomic  Energy  Commission  has  undoubtedly 
earned  its  silent  snowman;  while  responsibility  for  low-level  waste  lies  with  the  increasing 
number  of  power  companies  producing  it,  the  AEC  has  thoughtfully  built  enormous  storage 
tanks  for  high-level  wastes,  locating  them  in  unpopulated  areas  of  the  United  States.  The 
grim  irony  is  that  nothing,  absolutely  nothing  can  yet  be  done  to  deactivate  what  waits 
patiently  inside  the  AEC's  "trash  cans";  no  chemical  or  physical  process  has  been  devised 
to  reduce  its  toxic  strength,  which  will  lost  for  the  next  250,000  years,  and  none  of  the 
dumping  schemes  so  far  proposed  (ranging  from  huge  missiles  shot  toward  the  sun  to  burial 
at  sea)  offer  much  hope  of  success. 

The  first  accident  at  the  AEC's  main  storage  center  near  Hanford,  Washington,  occurred 
in  1  973,  when  1  1  5,000  gallons  of  liquid  nuclear  waste  escaped  into  the  soil  (the  leak  went 
undetected  for  51  days)  ...  the  second  leak  at  Hanford  happened  in  April  of  1975  .  .  . 
according  to  estimates  by  the  Federal  government,  by  the  year  2010  there  will  be  15  rail- 
road cars  moving  radioactive  materials  somewhere  in  the  U.S.  at  any  one  time,  vulnerable 
to  sabotage,  theft,  or  derailment  .  .  .  the  Oil,  Chemical,  and  Gas  Workers  Union  in  1975 
warned  of  safety  violations  in  an  Oklahoma  plutonium  plant  (twenty  of  39  charges  were 
substantiated  by  Federal  investigators)  ...  in  1974,  an  airport  cargo-handler  in  Houston, 
Texas,  burned  his  leg  when  a  medical  shipment  of  Molybdenum  99  leaked  aboard  a  plane 
.  .  .  two  nuclear  reactors  were  half-built  before  the  AEC  found  out  about  earthquake  faults 
beneath  them  .   .   . 

It  is  simply  a  matter  of  time.

An  equally  powerful  piece  could 
probably  be  written  in  favor  of 
nuclear  power.  The  AEC  is  no 
longer  in  existence;  it  was  reorgani- 
zed into  the  ERDA,  (Energy 
Research  and  Development 
Agency)  and  the  NRC  (Nuclear 
Regulatory  Commission).  These 
organizations  now  have  authority 
over  energy  matters. 

But  the  fact  remains  that  the 
problems  mentioned  in  the  "ice- 
nine"  award  are  by  no  means 
solved.  Spills  and  accidents  still 
occur  too  frequently,  (an  explosion 
at  the  Hanford  Nuclear  Reservation 
in  Washington  last  August  contami- 
nated eight  people),  no  way  to  dis- 
pose of  the  dangerous  wastes  has 
yet  been  devised,  and  nuclear 
power  plants  are  springing  up  oil 
over  the  country. 

In  addition  to  the  obvious  prob- 
lems involving  nuclear  waste,  ques- 
tions about  the  viability  of  nuclear 
power  as  a  source  of  energy  can 
be  raised.  Fissionable  material  is 
not  an  everlasting  resource.  Like 
fossil  fuels,  it  is  finite.  And  our 
growing  population  uses  increas- 
ingly more  energy. 

In  discussing  the  Earth's  energy 
resources  for  Scientific  American 
magazine,  M.  King  Hubbert  said 
the  world's  consumption  of  fossil 
fuels  during  the  past  1  10  years  has 
been  about  19  times  greater  than  it 
was  during  the  last  seven  centuries. 
Once  fossil  fuels  are  used  as 
energy  sources  they  are  destroyed. 
The  peak  of  world  exploitation  is 
estimated  to  be  the  year  2000. 
After  about  60  years,  the  height  in 
consumption  will  decline  as  oil  and 
coal  become  increasingly  harder  to 
find  and  extract  from  the  Earth. 

The  need  for  an  alternate  source 
of  energy  is  obvious. 

The  United  States'  planned 
expansion  of  nuclear  power  plants 
in  coming  years  indicates  a  reliance 
on  nuclear  sources  of  energy. 
Given  the  finite  supply  of  fissiona- 
ble material  and  the  lack  of  any 
provision  for  safe  disposal  of  lin- 
gering wastes,  is  nuclear  power  the 
best  solution? 

Current  research  at  DM  explores 
possibilities  for  safer  alternative 
energy  sources.

An  alternative:  thermonuclear  fusion 


As  last  winter's  fuel  shortage 
proved,  there  is  an  ever-growing 
need  to  find  new  sources  of  energy. 
One  of  the  possibilities  presently 
being  explored  is  thermonuclear 
fusion.  Fusion  of  hydrogen  atoms  is 
how  we  get  energy  both  from  the 
sun  and  from  hydrogen  bombs. 

When  hydrogen  gas  is  heated  to 
very  high  temperatures,  the  elec- 
trons are  stripped  from  the  atoms, 
making  them  ions.  These  ions,  col- 
liding at  high  energy,  fuse  and  form 
helium.  In  the  process,  enormous 
amounts  of  energy  are  released. 

A  laboratory  set  up  on  campus 
has  been  studying  controlled  fusion 
by  using  an  electron  ring  accelera- 
tor to  increase  the  rate  of  ion  colli- 


sion. 

Accelerator  Research  Group 
member  Dr.  Martin  P.  Reiser  is 
working  along  with  other  faculty 
members  and  graduate  students  on 
the  project.  The  group  hopes  to 
prove  the  feasibility  of  the  electron 
ring  accelerator  in  three  years. 

Even  if  they  do,  it  would  take 
another  five  to  six  years  to  develop 
the  process  into  a  usuable  form  for 
industry,  nuclear  physics  and  chem- 
istry research.  Biomedical  applica- 
tions such  as  cancer  therapy  may 
be  also  possible. 

Energy  produced  by  controlled 
fusion  would  have  a  major  advan- 
tage over  present  nuclear  reactors, 
which  are  based  on  fission  rather 


than  fusion.  Fission  creates  danger- 
ous, long-lived  radioactive  iso- 
topes. The  storage  of  this  waste  has 
been  a  major  problem.  Energy  from 
fusion  produces  less  waste  and  is  a 
more  pollution  free  method. 

The  electron  ring  accelerator  lab- 
oratory itself  is  housed  temporarily 
in  the  quonset  huts  across  from  the 
Institute  of  Molecular  Physics. 
Hopefully,  with  an  addition  onto 
the  Energy  Research  Building  next 
year,  the  lab  research  can  be  diver- 
sified. The  lab  and  the  research 
group  are  being  supported  by  a 
grant  from  the  National  Science 
Foundation.

Journey  to  the  world's  2nd  largest 


Dr.  David  A.  Goldberg  is  Virgil, 
and  in  the  depths  of  his  inferno  lies 
the  second  largest  sectored  iso- 
chronus  cyclotron  in  the  world. 
Once  nicknamed  "MUSIC"  (for 
Maryland  University  SIC  —  the 
name  didn't  stick),  the  cyclotron  is 
used  by  the  materials  research  lab, 
in  experimental  physics  departmen- 
tal research,  and  for  cancer 
research. 

The  cyclotron  conducts  a  scatter- 
ing experiment  by  accelerating 
nuclear  particles  and  hurling  them 
at  an  unknov/n  substance.  The 
manner  in  v/hich  the  particles  are 
reflected  off  of  the  substance 
reveals  properties  v/hich  may  help 
identify  the  unknown  substance. 

Goldberg  likens  the  procedure  to 
locating  a  barn  in  a  fog.  If  the  fog 
is  so  thick  you  can't  even  see  the 
barn,  you  still  might  be  able  to  tell 
where  it  is,  how  long  and  how  high 
it   is,   even   whether   it   is   made   of 


wood  or  steel,  by  throwing  rubber 
balls  at  it  and  observing  how,  or  if, 
they  come  back  to  you. 

In  the  cyclotron,  it  is  the  machine 
rather  than  an  arm  that  is  hurling 
particles  toward  the  unknown.  A 
magnetic  field  hold  ions  in  place 
while  the  cyclotron  pushes  them  in 
increasingly  larger  circles.  Then 
they  are  bent,  focused  and  chan- 
neled by  other  magnets  toward  the 
"barn,"  the  unknown  substance. 

The  particles  have  now  traveled

which  analyze  the  information.

From  presidential  reviewing  stands  to  chicken  house  heating, 
solar  energy  is  rapidly  becoming  an  important  factor  in  our  daily 
lives. 

As  a  direct  result  of  the  current  energy  crisis  (particularly  fossil 
fuel  supply  depletion),  these  concepts  are  being  put  into  practice 
more  every  year. 

Much  research  and  testing  of  solar  energy  use  is  currently  con- 
ducted on  campus. 

A  solar  energy  lab  is  being  designed  and  built  by  members  of 
the  Mechanical  Engineering  Department.  Dr.  Kirk  Collier  and  Dr. 
Redfield  Allen  are  working  together  to  develop  the  lab. 

It  will  be  used  primarily  to  run  various  experiments  and  also  effi- 
ciency tests  on  solar  collectors.  These  are  devices  which  trap  and 
collect  the  sun's  radiation. 

When  completed  sometime  in  the  summer  of  1977,  the  lab  will 
be  open  to  both  the  campus  and  to  surrounding  communities. 
Homeowners  and  businesses  will  be  able  to  test  the  efficiency  of 
individually  owned  solar  collectors. 


In  the  Electrical  Engineering  Department  another  type  of  solar 
energy  research  is  being  conducted  on  a  new  type  of  solar  cell. 

Dr.  H.  C.  Lin  is  chairman  of  the  group  working  under  a  three  year 
grant  from  the  National  Science  Foundation.  They  ore  trying  to  per- 
fect an  ion-implanted  solar  cell.  This  device  has  been  implanted 
with  ions  by  a  small  cyclotron.  The  usual  method  uses  1000  C  fur- 
naces to  implant  the  semi-conductive  impurities  necessary  to  make 
the  cell  work. 

The  new  cyclotron  ion-implanter  eliminates  wastes  from  the  fur- 
naces and  the  cell  itself  becomes  more  efficient. 

Solar  cells  are  constructed  mainly  of  silicone  wafers.  Electrons 
strike  the  impurities  which  have  been  imbedded  in  the  silicone  waf- 
ers and  then  bounce  back,  releasing  the  energy  necessary  to  gen- 
erate a  current. 

The  sun's  energy  is  vast  and  limitless  at  least  for  the  next  million 
years.  It  is  clean  and  does  not  produce  wastes  which  may  threaten 
our  continued  existence  on  Earth.  It  shines  steadily  and  is  abso- 
lutely free.  All  we  have  to  do  is  harness  its  energy.

The  Viking  Has  Landed 


Seven  years  to  the  day  after 
Man's  first  walk  on  the  moon,  the 
Viking  I  spacecraft  landed  on  Mars. 
President  Ford  named  July  20 
"Space  Exploration  Day"  in  honor 
of  the  events.  Scientists  throughout 
the  country  worked  to  put  the 
Viking  on  Mars,  and  people  all 
over  the  world  awaited  communica- 
tions which  would  help  answer  age 
old  questions  about  Mars. 

Researchers  at  DM  played  their 
part  in  analyzing  the  data  sent 
back  by  the  Viking.  Chemistry  pro- 
fessor Dr.  Cyril  Ponnaperuma 
worked  in  a  lab  on  campus  where 
results  sent  from  Viking's  instru- 
ments were  interpreted.  He  said 
there  may  once  have  been  life  on 
Mars,  but  if  so  it  has  been  gone  for 
a  long  while.  He  offered  the  heav- 
ily oxidized  atmosphere  as  evi- 
dence, saying  that  anything 
organic  would  quicWy  break  down 


in  such  an  atmosphere.  Much  of 
Ponnaperuma'a  association  with 
NASA  involved  questions  about  the 
origin  of  life,  life  beyond  earth,  and 
extraterrestrial  intelligence  and 
communication. 

Physics  department  member  Dr. 
Herbert  Frey  sought  a  common 
evolutionary  pattern  between 
Mars,  our  moon,  and  Earth.  He  fol- 
lowed a  four-stage  evolutionary 
scheme  based  on  the  internal  heat 
of  the  planet.  The  planet's  internal 
heat  is  what  drives  evolution.  The 
smaller  the  planet  the  faster  it 
cools.  The  moon  cooled  off  and 
thus  evolution  was  stopped  in  the 
third  stage  of  the  planet's  life. 

Mars  is  about  half  way  in  size 
between  the  moon  and  earth.  Frey 
theorized  that  it  may  be  half  way 
between  them  on  an  evolutionary 
scale  also.  He  emphasized  the 
importance  of  space  exploration 


because  the  study  of  other  planets 
may  help  us  understand  the  Earth's 
early  history,  during  which  it  was  so 
dynamic  that  early  geologic 
records  were  destroyed.  A  round 
trip  to  Mars  would  take  about  a 
year  and  a  half.  Frey  guessed  this 
century  will  close  before  a  human  is 
sent  to  Mars. 

Dr.  Harry  Rose,  of  the  chemistry 
department,  was  concerned  with 
geological  analysis  of  Mars.  An 
instrument  on  the  Viking  detected 
what  elements  are  present  in  the 
rocks  and  soil  on  Mars  and  radioed 
the  information  back  to  Earth  in  14 
minutes.  Rose  found  evidence  of 
chemical  weathering  on  Mars.  He 
said  that  by  1  984,  there  may  be  a 
vehicle  or  rover  on  Mars  which 
could  collect  samples.  But  to  send  a 
person  to  Mars  would  increase  the 
cost  a  hundred  fold.  Dr.  Rose  esti- 
mated.

Kepone  Research 


In  1  958,  Allied  Chemical  Corporation  started  marketing  a  new 
ant  and  roach  insecticide  developed  by  two  of  their  chemists.  The 
insecticide,  used  primarily  overseas  for  agricultural  pest  control, 
was  called  kepone. 

Kepone  and  DDT  are  similar  in  chemical  structure,  but  kepone 
was  found  to  be  useful  against  DDT  resistant  insects.  Its  effective- 
ness increased  the  demand  for  kepone. 

In  1966,  Allied  began  producing  kepone  at  Hopewell,  Virginia, 
just  1  8  miles  south  of  Richmond.  The  permit  application  filed  by  the 
company  at  that  time  said  that  kepone  production  would  be  tempo- 
rary. In  1974,  when  the  demand  for  kepone  continued  to  rise.  Life 
Science  Products  took  over  the  production  for  Allied  Chemical.  Life 
Science  Products,  which  was  owned  by  two  ex-Allied  employees, 
received  some  of  the  necessary  chemical  inputs  from  Allied. 

By  1  975,  Life  Sciences  was  producing  between  3,000  and  6,000 
pounds  of  kepone  a  day.  The  plant  was  discharging  chemicals  into 
the  city  sewage  system,  but  after  a  breakdown  of  the  sludge  diges- 
ters, kepone-laden  sludge  was  pumped  into  an  open  field. 

In  October,  just  six  months  after  Life  Sciences  Products  began 
operation,  the  Virginia  State  Water  Control  Board  discovered  non- 
functioning sludge  digesters  at  the  Hopewell  plant.  Bacteria  in  the 
digesters  decomposes  organic  material  in  sewage  sludge.  Kepone 
killed  these  beneficial  bacteria,  rendering  the  sludge  digesters  use- 
less. 

This  discovery  in  1 975  coupled  with  several  complaints  by 
employees,  spurred  an  investigation  which  forced  the  Life  Sciences 
plant  to  close  down  in  July.  The  U.S.  Senate  held  hearings  on  the 
issue  in  1976,  and  eventually  Allied  Chemical  and  Life  Sciences 
were  both  brought  to  trial.

Although  both  companies  were  fined,  the  problems  caused  by 
kepone  are  still  with  us.  The  human  problem  is  two-fold,  directly 
affecting  both  human  health  and  the  James  River  fishing  industry. 

Many  employees  at  the  Hopewell  plant  as  well  as  their  families 
developed  kepone  poisoning.  The  poisoning  is  characterized  by 
personality  changes,  shaking,  eye  tremors,  and  other  afflictions  of 
the  nervous  system.  Researchers  are  currently  working  on  ways  to 
get  the  kepone  out  of  the  victims'  blood  streams. 

The  James  River,  due  to  the  unlawful  discharging,  has  an  esti- 
mated 100,000  pounds  of  kepone  incorporated  in  its  bottom  sedi- 
ments. The  economic  loss  resulting  from  closing  it  off  to  fishing  and 
other  uses  was  estimated  at  $  1  0  million  in  1  976. 

The  horror  of  all  this  is  that  kepone  seems  to  be  a  very  long-last- 
ing chemical.  Residues  of  it  were  found  in  a  lake  near  a  Pennsylva- 
nia town  1  3  years  after  kepone  was  produced  there.  Researchers 
across  the  country  are  currently  working  on  ways  to  rid  the  James 
River  and  the  soil  of  kepone. 

Here  at  the  University,  microbiology  professor  Dr.  Rita  Colwell  is 
studying  the  effects  kepone  may  hove  on  the  Chesapeake  Bay 
since  it  was  disposed  into  some  of  the  Bay's  tributaries.  This 
research  is  of  primary  importance  because  the  Bay  is  the  biggest 
fish  producer  on  the  East  Coast. 

Colwell  and  graduate  student  Steve  Orndoff  are  conducting  sed- 
iment analyses  of  samples  from  the  James,  nearby  rivers,  and  from 
the  Hopewell  treatment  plant.  The  study  is  trying  to  determine  the 
ability  of  micro-organisms  to  degrade  kepone  quickly  under  natural 
conditions. 

Additional  involvement  by  the  University  in  the  future  is  uncer- 
tain.

What's  as  big  as  a  bread  box 
but  surrounded  by  6000 
gallons  of  water  and  10  feet 
of  concrete? 

UM's  reactor  director  Dr.  Ralph  L.  Belcher  says  people  are  exposed  to  more  radi- 
ation from  a  tooth  x-ray  than  from  being  around  UM's  250  kilowatt  nuclear  reactor. 

Although  the  10  foot  thick  concrete  walls  which  hold  6000  gallons  of  water  and 
the  reactor  make  on  impressive  sight,  the  reactor  itself  is  only  1  6  inches  wide  by  24 
inches  long. 

No  electricity  is  produced  by  the  reactor.  It  is  used  for  teaching  and  research  pur- 
poses only.  One  graduate  student  recently  finished  his  doctorate  studying  neutron 
tronsport  through  various  gases.  Seeds  have  also  been  irradioted  to  study  effects  of 
radiation  on  plant  mutations. 

The  nuclear  reactor  consists  of  93  fuel  rods  which  react  whenever  they  are 
together.  Neutrons  bombard  other  particles  which  split  and  hit  other  particles  and 
so  on.  The  reaction  would  continue  until  the  fuel  was  exhousted  if  not  for  several 
boron  control  rods.  These  rods  absorb  neutrons  within  the  reactor  to  stop  the  reac- 
tion. When  the  control  rods  ore  lifted,  the  reaction  again  takes  place.  Fuel  for  the 
reactor  is  20%  uranium  235  and  80%  natural  uranium  238.  Fuel  in  3-foot  long  rods 
is  supplied  to  the  University  by  the  Nuclear  Regulatory  Commission.  These  rods  trig- 
ger the  nuclear  reaction  and  absorb  isotopes  which  form  as  results  of  the  reaction. 
These  wastes  ore  highly  radioactive  and  especially  dangerous  because  of  their  long 
half-lives.  Some  may  linger  for  thousands  of  years. 

Every  I  2  years  or  so  fuel  rods  ore  removed  from  the  reactor  and  reploced  by  the 
NRC.  Uranium  235  can  be  separated  from  the  other  isotopes  in  the  rods  and  reused 
OS  fuel.  Remaining  wastes  are  stored  by  the  NRC.

Studying  the  Earth's  Atmosphere  in  the 

Chemistry 

Building 


Much  of  the  research  done  in  the 
Department  of  Nuclear  and  Atmos- 
pheric Chemistry  is  based  on  the 
application  of  nuclear  methods  of 
analysis  to  problems  in  environ- 
mental chemistry.  In  the  experi- 
ments of  Doctors  Gordon  and  Zol- 
ler  at  the  University  of  Maryland, 
graduate  students  and  researchers 
have  collected  air  samples  any- 
where from  Alaska  to  Antarctica  to 
determine  types  and  amounts  of 
pollutants  the  air  may  contain. 

When  exposed  to  the  core  of  a 
nuclear  reactor,  atmospheric  sam- 
ples become  irradiated  with  neu- 
trons. The  energies  and  intensities 
of  the  gamma  rays  subsequently 
given  off  by  the  samples  can  be 
measured,  providing  a  nuclear  "fin- 
gerprinting" method  for  the  identi- 
fication of  many  elements.  This 
"neutron  activation"  technique  has 
been  used  to  determine  the  sources 
of  toxic  and  other  trace  elements  in 
the  atmosphere  at  locations  around 
the  world. 

"Neutron  activation"  analysis  is 
also  a  valuable  geologic  tool.  It 
was  used  to  help  identify  the  com- 
ponents of  lunar  samples  brought 
to  earth  by  the  astronauts.  In  rec- 
ognition of  the  service  this  tech- 
nique has  rendered,  the  American 
Chemical  Society  in  August  of 
1976  presented  Dr.  Glen  E.  Gor- 
don with  a  national  award  for  his 
part  in  the  development  of  the  pro- 
ject. 

The  collection  and  preparation 
of  atmospheric  samples  is  not  com- 
plicated, but  much  care  must  be 
taken  to  insure  that  no  contamina- 
tion takes  place.  The  samples  are 
collected  by  pumping  air  through 
fine  filter  paper.  The  filters  are  then 
sealed  and  taken  to  the  "clean 
room"  in  the  Chemistry  Building. 
"Clean"   is  no  exaggeration.

With  only  1  0  particles  of  matter  per 
cubic  foot  of  air,  it's  cleaner  than 
most  operating  rooms.  Air  is  con- 
stantly pumped  through  particle  fil- 
ters. The  resulting  higher  atmos- 
pheric pressure  creates  billowing 
air  currents  and  a  clean,  refreshing 
atmosphere.  It  is  ironic  that  atmos- 
pheric pollutants  ore  being  studied 
in  a  room  so  full  of  fresh  air. 

Special  precautions  are  taken 
prior  to  entering  the  clean  room: 
white  lab  coats,  caps,  and  polyeth- 
ylene gloves  are  donned,  and  a  fly- 
paper type  mat  grabs  dirt  from 
shoe  bottoms,  which  are  then  cov- 
ered with  polyethylene  bags.  Look- 
ing more  like  something  out  of  a 
Woody  Allen  movie  than  environ- 
mental chemists,  researchers  pre- 
pare the  filter-paper  samples  for 
irradiation  by  pelletizing  and  bag- 
ging them. 

Since  the  University's  1  0  kilowatt 
nuclear  reactor  doesn't  have  the 
ability  to  quickly  irradiate  the  small 
quantities  of  elements  which  may 
be  present  in  the  samples,  the  pel- 
lets are  taken  to  the  National 
Bureau  of  Standards  for  irradia- 
tion. Analysis  is  either  done  there 
or  at  the  counting  room  in  the 
chemistry  building. 

The  gamma-rays  originating 
from  the  nuclei  present  in  sample 
are  detected  by  a  germanium  crys- 
tal which  converts  gamma-rays  into 
electric  pulses.  The  electronic  sig- 
nals are  fed  into  a  pulse  height 
analysis  system  which  stores  the 
data  in  a  computer  memory  and 
converts  the  signals  into  a  graphi- 
cal display  on  a  television  screen. 

Using  the  sizes  and  energies  of 
the  peaks  in  this  display,  research- 
ers can  determine  what  elements 
(and  how  much  of  each  one)  are 
present  in  the  sample. 

While  the   counting   of  gamma-

nuclear  reactor. 


rays  takes  place,  the  sample  must 
be  shielded  from  background  radi- 
ation which  could  interfere  with 
analysis.  Pre-World  War  II  lead 
and  steel  is  especially  valuable  for 
shields  because  it  does  not  contain 
the  radioactive  contaminants  that 
materials  processed  since  the  test- 
ing of  nuclear  warheads  would 
contain. 

By  comparing  the  contents  of  air 
samples  taken  in  various  locations, 
sources  of  many  atmospheric  pollu- 
tants may  be  tracked  down.  Neu- 
tral anaylsis  and  other  chemical 
techniques  show  that  lead  from 
auto  exhaust  appears  most  fre- 
quently in  urban  atmospheres. 
Copper  and  arsenic  may  be  found 
in  air  around  a  copper  smelting  fac- 
tory. Other  elements  which  have 
been  found  in  urban  atmospheres 
are  sulfur,  vanadium,  chlorine,  and 
even  trace  quantities  of  silver  and 
gold,  among  other  things.

The  campus  electron  microscope 
facility  includes  two  different  micro- 
scopes as  well  as  several  instru- 
ments for  preparing  materials  to  be 
studied. 

A  scanning  microscope  operates 
by  bouncing  secondary  electrons 
off  the  subject.  The  resulting  X-rays 
produce  the  image.  The  scanning 
microscope  is  equipped  with  a 
black  and  white  television  screen 
on  which  to  view  the  sample,  and  a 
pulse  height  analyzer  which  deter- 
mines what  elements  are  present  in 
the  sample. 

The  more  familiar  transmission 
microscope  is  the  second  largest  on 
the  East  Coast,  operating  at 
200,000  volts.  This  microscope 
operates  by  actually  sending  a 
beam  through  the  sample  rather 
than  by  bouncing  electrons  off  of  it. 
The  higher  voltage  permits  greater 
penetration  and  better  resolution, 
or  focus.  Photographs  can  be  taken 
inside  the  transmission  microscope 
using  phosphorus  screens.

Next  time  you  get  a  munch,  try  some  fried  grasshoppers 


Agricultural  researchers  at  DM 
are  studying  forage  management, 
sludge,  controlling  insects,  speed- 
ing up  food  production,  minimizing 
oyster  and  clam  spoilage,  refilling 
the  almost  empty  oyster  beds  of 
Maryland,  and  new  methods  for 
the  sterilization  of  milk  and  other 
foods. 

Aubrey  W.  Williams,  an  UM 
anthropologist,  conducted  research 
on  food  consumption  of  Mexican 
villagers  who  have  survived  for 
years  on  an  insect  supplemented 
diet,  and  who  maintained  healthy 
and  active  lives.  He  showed  that 
the  Mexican  diet  consisted  of 
around  1 ,450  calories  a  day  com- 
pared to  the  American  caloric  fig- 
ures ranging  between  3,000  and 
4,000.  Williams  found  that  the 
diets  were  similar  in  content  to 
American  diets. 

However,  an  unusual  snack 
accompanied  the  Mexican  diet.  It 
consisted  of  fried  grasshoppers, 
bee  larvae,  red  ants,  grubs,  worms 
and  caterpillars.  Williams  feels  that 
insect  protein  could  be  used  as  a 
food  additive  in  flours,  grains, 
soups,  and  pet  foods  as  a  non- 
meat  protein  source. 


Two  other  researchers  are  Dr.  A. 
Morris  Decker  and  Dr.  Amihud 
Kramer,  the  former  professor  of 
agronomy  and  an  expert  in  forage 
management,  the  latter  a  professor 
of  food  technology.  Decker  con- 
tends that  beef  cattle  would  be  as 
well  nourished  by  forage  grasses 
and  legumes  as  by  the  more  expen- 
sive corn  and  alfalfa  they  are  now 
fed.  His  research  deals  with  finding 
ways  to  maximize  growth  and 
nutritive    value    of    forage    crops. 

Decker    also     participates    in 

sludge  research  with  the  veterinary 
science  and  agronomy  departments 
of  the  UMCP  and  the  USPA.  Sludge 
is  the  heavy  end  product  of  a  sew- 
age treatment  plant.  It  is  rich  in 
nutrients  for  soil  and  plant  life.  The 
sludge  has  proven  successful  in 
reconditioning  soil  on  mine  proper- 
ties. It  revegetated  the  once  barren 
areas  with  trees  and  other  plants.  If 
not  for  the  high  concentration  of 
heavy  metals  in  sludge,  it  would  be 
an  excellent  fertilizer.  Heavy  met- 
als ore  not  harmful  to  plants  except 
in  high  amounts,  but  if  people  or 
animals  eat  the  plants  the  results 
could  be  disastrous. 


Dr.  Kramer  agrees  with  many  of 
his  colleagues  that  if  population 
growth  continues  at  the  present 
rate,  earth  will  reach  a  point  of 
catastrophe  sooner  or  later,  if  not 
in  the  year  2100.  In  order  for  us  to 
survive  in  the  world  we  must 
increase  the  food  supply  on  the  one 
hand,  and  environmental  control 
(particularly  pollution  control)  on 
the  other.  Increased  utilization 
rather  than  disposal  of  pollutants 
offers  the  best  opportunity  for  solv- 
ing both  sides  of  the  problem.  Max- 
imum utilization,  particularly  of 
food  wastes,  would  not  only  reduce 
waste  disposal  problems,  but 
would  increase  the  food  resources 
available  to  a  rapidly  expanding 
world  population. 

Kramer's  solution  to  the  problem 
is  to  increase  the  availability  of 
food  by  improved  storage  and 
transportation,  manufacture  and 
preservation  of  by-products,  utiliza- 
tion of  solid  and  liquid  wastes  at 
the  processing  plant  and  total  utili- 
zation of  field  corps.

International 
Festival 


Although  vastly  overshadowed 
by  the  summer-long  Folk  Life  Festi- 
val downtown,  Maryland's  own 
weekly  International  Festival  still 
forcibly  depicted  the  great  diversity 
of  our  national  legacy  in  a  quiet, 
yet  festive  way. 

Sundays  during  the  summer 
months  saw  Maryland's  mall  turn 
into  a  melting  pot  of  cultures  which 
have  helped  shape  America.  Each 
week  featured  a  different  group  as 
songs,  dance,  food,  and  soccer 
games  were  the  order  of  the  day. 

Against  the  backdrop  of 
McKeldin  Library,  these  groups 
enabled  onlookers  to  participate  in 
and  relive  our  cultural  heritage.  No 
Bicentennial  flag-waving  here  — 
just  fun  and  good  cooking  from  the 
old  country.

Aloha! 


Scantily  dressed  hula  girls  and 
fresh  pineapples  garnished  by 
several  kegs  of  beer  were  the 
attraction  one  September  evening 
as  the  Dining  Services  sponsored 
"Hawaiian  Night." 

John  Goecker  and  his  crev/ 
staged  a  fine  show  for  the  diners  as 
he  brought  the  sights  and  sounds  of 
Honolulu  into  the  Hill  Dining  Hall. 
Several  students  found  time  to  take 
a  break  from  their  repast  and 
attempt  to  pick  up  the  finer  points 
of  performing  the  hula. 

All  in  all,  it  was  a  pleasant  break 
for  all  from  the  normal  dining  hall 
fare.

Skateboards  Are  Back 


260  Loch  Lomond  Bakery     422-9689     date  nut  bars,  shortbread 


Just  when  everyone  thought  that 
the  nostolgio  kick  hod  reached  its 
peak,  the  skateboard  came  back. 
The  nemesis  of  worrying  mothers 
found  its  way  back  onto  the  slanty 
sidewalks  of  campus  this  year. 

Both  college-age  and  grade- 
school  age  kids  fondly  took  to  the 
1  976-77  version  of  the  boards  and 
both  groups  were  often  seen 
speeding  across  areas  like  the 
newly-paved  parking  lot  1  and  the 
south  chapel  lawn. 

Tournaments  held  in  June  and 
August  were  sparsely  attended,  but 
the  biggest  skateboard  tournament 
in  Maryland  was  held  in  Septem- 
ber. Some  of  the  best  skaters  on 
the  East  Coast  displayed  skill  and 
daredevildry  to  an  appreciative 
crowd. 

The  Delta  Sigma  Phi  Fraternity, 
together  with  the  East  Coast  Skate- 
boards, sponsored  this  contest,  and 
all  proceeds  went  to  the  T.  J.  Mar- 
tell  Memorial  Foundation  for  leuke- 
mia research.

Expo  '76 

On  a  campus  the  size  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  it  is  practically 
impossible  to  find  out  what  all  the 
different  clubs  and  organizations 
are,  much  less  what  they  do.  The 
SGA  attempted  to  alleviate  this  sit- 
uation last  September,  by  sponsor- 
ing an  expose  of  groups  on  cam- 
pus. 

Participating  groups  set  up 
booths  and  demonstrations  in  the 
Student  Union  colony  ballroom. 
They  signed  up  new  members  and 
explained  what  their  group  was  all 
about.  The  only  wish  was  that  more 
students  had  shown  up  to  enjoy 
Expo  76.

What's  A 

Free  University? 

The  term  Free  University  does 
not  refer  to  the  cost  of  the  educa- 
tion, which  is  minimal.  It  refers  to 
the  exchange  and  flow  of  knowl- 
edge between  student  and  teacher 
in  a  less  rigid  situation  than  a 
bonafide  university. 

All  the  people  who  make  the 
free  university  work  are  volunteer. 
Free  University  head  James  Frid 
describes  this  system,  which  oper- 
ates "almost  totally  on  a  giving 
basis,"  as  an  "organic  process." 
For  Frid,  the  absence  of  require- 
ments for  exams,  role  call,  and 
grades  encourage  learning  through 
a  process  of  "natural  selection." 

Course  offerings  were  expanded 
this  year  to  include  a  variety  of  sub- 
ject matter,  ranging  from  backgam- 
mon to  Buddhism.  Others  were  kite 
flying,  exercise,  human  potential, 
belly  dancing  and  many,  many 
more.

Alfalfa  Sprouts 
Are  Still  With  Us 


Food  Co-Op  workers  are  convinced  that  last  year's 
demonstrations  are  what  saved  their  co-op  from  annihi- 
lation by  the  administration. 

A  join  us  march  around  campus  was  followed  by  a 
mass  planting  of  vegetables  on  traffic  circle,  now  home 
of  the  big  "M."  The  marches  culminated  with  a  rush  on 
the  main  administration  building.  This  all  happened 
Wednesday;  by  that  weekend,  demonstrators  were 
assured  that  the  Food  Co-op  was  no  longer  on  the 
endangered  list.

With  fears  of  extinction  behind 
them.  Co-op  workers  and  support- 
ers looked  forward  to  moving  out 
of  cramped  quarters  in  the  Student 
Union  basement,  into  a  larger  room 
upstairs. 

Administration  arguments 

against  expansion  included  consid- 
eration of  students  who  "liked 
hamburgers."  Administrators 
seemed  to  be  afraid  that  with  fresh 
fruits,  grains  and  dairy  products 
available  at  low  prices;  along  with 
a  sandwich  bar  offering  alterna- 
tives to  meat,  tuna  and  egg  salad, 
students  would  somehow  be  denied 
availability  to  the  hamburger  and 
other  traditional  "fast  foods." 

Food  Co-op  workers  were  sure 
this  fear  stemmed  not  from  denial 
of  certain  foods  to  students,  but 
from  loss  of  University  food  ser- 
vices profits  to  the  Food  Co-op. 
They  were  sure,  like  the  administra- 
tion seemed  to  be,  that  given 
equally  convenient  access  to  both 
services,  students  would  choose  the 
Co-op. 


Dairyland 

The  University  dairy  processors 
has  been  located  in  the  Turner  Lab- 
oratory for  about  22  years.  There, 
milk  from  "university"  cows  is  proc- 
essed into  drinkable  milk  for  the 
dining  halls  and  local  hospitals.  A 
commercial  dairy  mix  is  used  to 
process  ice  cream  according  to  the 
Turner  Lab's  ov^^n  formula. 

The  dairy  will  soon  get  a  cream 
separator,  which  will  lessen  the 
present  butterfat  level  in  the  milk 
and  ice  cream  produced.  Butterfat 
levels  don't  seem  to  bother  all  who 
enjoy  having  this  facility  on  cam- 
pus, though. 

University  of  Maryland  ice  cream 
is  truly  a  delicacy.

The  SGA  funded  campus  recy- 
cling center  is  run  by  students  and 
community  volunteers.  From  10-3 
on  Saturdays  they  collect  various 
kinds  of  papers,  glass  and  metals, 
sort  them,  and  ship  them  to  appro- 
priate recyclers. 

Newspaper,  phone  books,  mag- 
azines and  even  computer  cards 
and  print-out  paper  ore  shredded 
and  ultimately  reduced  back  to 
pulp.  This  is  reused  to  make  similar 
paper  products. 


Tin,  aluminum  and  bimetals  are 
collected  by  the  center  for  melting 
into  reusable  metal.  Some  bimetals 
are  alloys,  but  most  are  simply 
combinations  of  different  metals  in 
the  same  container,  like  tin  soda 
cans  with  aluminum  tops. 

All  colors  of  bottle  glass  are  col- 
lected and  ultimately  melted  down 
for  reuse.  The  center  asks  merely 
that  people  sort  materials  to  be 
recycled  before  leaving  them.

Counseling  Center 


Being  one  face  in  a  sea  of 
38,000  can  be  a  frightening  expe- 
rience. The  University  Counseling 
Center,  however,  can  help  new  stu- 
dents ease  into  university  life. 

Located  in  Shoennaker  Hall,  the 
Counseling  Center  offers  work- 
shops in  reading,  writing  and  study 
skills,  exam  skills,  LSAT  prepara- 
tion, term  paper  clinics  and  sched- 
uling  advice.    English   coaching 


classes  are  held  for  foreign  stu- 
dents. Human  relations  are  stressed 
in  assertive  behavior  training,  cou- 
ples communication  courses  and  a 
human  sexuality  group. 

The  goal  of  the  Counseling  Cen- 
ter is  to  offer  students  a  variety  of 
programs  to  develop  talents  and 
skills  that  will  make  university  life 
easier  to  cope  with.

Early  in  the  month  of  October  1909,  the  quiet  skies  surrounding  a  grass 
field  near  the  sleepy  town  of  College  Park  were  filled  with  an  engine  sputter 
ond  the  rustle  of  wind.  The  Wright  Military  Flyer,  with  Wilbur  himself  at  the 
controls,  took  to  the  air  in  opening  dedication  to  the  U.S.  government's  first 
military  training  field.  Little  did  those  present  realize  that  the  tiny  field  would 
become  the  oldest  continuously  active  airport  in  the  world  within  sixty-eight 
short  years. 

The  site  of  many  earlier  experiments  with  flight,  such  as  man-carrying  kites 
(around  1901)  and  gas-filled  balloons,  the  field  was  picked  primarily  for  its 
proximity  to  Washington,  which  was  eight  miles  away.  The  field  was  used  as  a 
training  facility,  with  Wilbur  training  many  of  the  first  military  pilots,  until 
1912,  when  the  army  closed  the  field  and  moved  to  a  larger  base. 

It  was  reopened  in  1913  as  a  civilian  airfield,  complete  with  an  airplane 
factory  (which  soon  folded).  From  1918  to  the  mid-1920'5  the  field  was  the 
southern  terminus  for  the  U.S.  Post  Office's  airmail  routes.  Also  in  the  1  920's, 
the  first  controlled  flights  of  the  Berliner  helicopter,  forerunner  of  today's  heli- 
copters, were  completed.  The  National  Bureau  of  Standards  began  tests  in  the 
1920's  which  eventually  led  to  present  day  radio  navigotion  aids  now  used 
nationwide. 

However,  around  the  late  1  950's,  the  slow  suffocation  of  the  airport  began 
OS  the  tendrils  of  Washington  suburbs  reached  College  Park.  It  existed  in  a 
state  of  decay  and  disuse,  barely  active,  and  was  considered  both  a  hazard 
and  a  nuisance  until  1970,  when  a  movement  began  to  establish  the  airport 
as  on  historic  site.  This  effort  seemed  doomed,  however,  when  needed  finan- 
cial support  didn't  appear. 

Then,  in  1973,  the  Maryland  National  Capitol  Park  and  Planning  Commis- 
sion bought  the  airport,  and  so  seemingly  secured  it  for  the  future. 

However,  recent  restrictive  legislation  has  threatened  to  strangle  all  activity 
at  the  airport.  The  port  is  a  20  minute  walk  from  campus,  and  the  home  of 
many  oviotion-oriented  organizations  as  well  as  over  70  aircrafts. 

A  full  scale  battle  between  local  pilots  and  legislators  is  now  being  waged. 
Much  tronsportotion  out  of  the  area  by  general  aviation  aircraft  is  supplied  by 
the  airport,  and  many  would  be  without  a  convenient  location  for  air  travel  if 
the  airport  were  closed. 

The  pilots  hove  the  support  of  the  State  Aviation  Administration  plus  numer- 
ous pro-aviotion  organizations.  The  legislators  have  the  support  of  local  home 
owners  whose  homes  were  built  long  after  the  airport  was  there.  At  stake  is 
the  continued  life  of  the  oldest  and  longest  operating  airport  in  the  world.  The 
outcome  remains  anyone's  quess.

There  are  a  significant  600  of 
them  on  campus.  For  many  stu- 
dents, teaching  assistants  (TAs) 
play  an  important  part  in  helping 
them  through  required  courses  at 
UM. 

TAs  are  graduate  students  who 
assist  instructors  with  the  teaching 
of  certain  courses.  The  duties  of  a 
TA  range  from  grading  papers  to 
teaching  whole  courses.  Most  TAs 
are  in  the  Mathematics  Depart- 
ment. 

TAs'  salaries  range  from  $3,500 
for  a  Step  I  to  $4,480  for  a  Step  V. 
Promotion  from  one  step  to  another 
is  based  on  the  TA's  progress 
toward  his  or  her  degree.  An  auto- 
matic pay  raise  accompanies  each 
step.  Some  TAs  are  awarded  assist- 
anceships  which  allow  them  to  take 
up  to  10  credits  free  in  addition  to 
their  salaries. 

In  September  1976,  a  10%  pay 
raise  was  approved  which  raised 
the  salary  of  a  Step  I  TA  from 
$3,1  80  to  $3,500. 

The  graduate  student  working  as 
a  TA  helps  different  people  in  dif- 
ferent ways.  To  the  instructor,  he  or 
she  plays  an  important  role  in  the 
handling  of  the  course.  Without  the 
assistance  of  a  graduate  assistant 
grading  tests  for  300-500  students 
would  be  nearly  impossible. 

TAs  provide  the  personal  atten- 
tion students  need  in  order  to  sur- 
vive large  lectures.  Many  go  to 
their  TAs  for  extra  help  in  under- 
standing course  material.  For  many 
students,  a  TA  can  mean  the  differ- 
ence between  passing  and  failing  a 
course. 

For  the  graduate  student  who  is 
a  TA,  the  job  holds  its  own  mean- 
ings. The  salary  for  the  amount  of 
work  performed  is  not  considered 
high  by  TAs  and  non-TAs,  but  it 
does  help  them  get  through  gradu- 
ate school. 

The  job  gives  many  TAs  a  chance 
to  help  others.  "It  gives  me  a 
chance  to  express  myself,"  said 
Michael  demons,  a  TA  in  the  Afro- 
American  Studies  Program.  "I  find  I 
can  relate  to  the  student,  and  both 
me  and  the  student  grow."

members. 

Visitors  watched  chicks  hatch 
from  eggs,  a  demonstration  of  a  jet

The  University  of  Maryland  has 
several  wind  tunnels  used  for  test- 
ing projects,  research  products, 
and  for  instruction  on  campus. 
These  research  tools  simulate  the 
effect  of  an  object  moving  through 
air  by  moving  air  by  and  around 
the  object.  The  tester  can  control 
factors  such  as  v/ind  velocity  and 
turbulence  under  laboratory  condi- 
tions. 


Wind  tunneb  have  uses  for  many 
topics  in  current  research.  Buildings 
now  are  often  so  tall  that  wind  can 
actually  sway  them.  Testing  the 
construction  and  materials  first  in  a 
wind  tunnel  can  help  determine 
how  strong  they  are. 

Fuel  conservation  is  a  considera- 
tion when  testing  cars,  trucks,  and 
other  vehicles.  The  power  to  push 


the  vehicle  through  the  resistance 
of  air  is  what  requires  high  horse- 
power, and  consequently  deter- 
mines the  amount  of  fuel  the  vehi- 
cle requires. 

Anything  which  could  be 
effected  by  aerodynamics,  from 
planes  to  radar  sensors  to  rotating 
weather  vanes,  can  be  tested  in  a 
wind  tunnel.

Half-hidden  from  the  frantic 
pace  of  the  outside  world,  only  a 
few  miles  from  campus,  lie  the  tiny 
grounds  of  the  University  Astro- 
nomical Observatory. 

In  its  relative  isolation  just  off 
Metzerott  Road,  the  Observatory  is 
used  primarily  as  a  training  facility 
for  astronomy  graduate  students. 
Some  undergraduate  introductory 
courses  also  make  use  of  the  facil- 
ity. 

The  Astronomy  Department  also 
uses  the  Observatory  to  hold  open 
houses  twice  a  month,  free  to  both 
students  and  the  public.  These 
include  a  slide  show  or  movie,  a 
lecture  on  any  number  of  astro- 
nomical phenomena,  plus  the 
opportunity  to  gaze  through  the 
telescope  at  the  night  sky  (weather 
permitting,  of  course). 

The  bright  hue  of  the  stars  in  this

Don't  blame  the  computer 


Robots,  once  found  only  in  sci- 
ence fiction,  are  now  replacing 
semi-skilled  laborers  by  the  thou- 
sands, and  the  Robot  Institute  of 
America  predicts  $50  million  in 
robot  sales  by  1  977.  At  DM  Rich- 
ard Elkins  (Industrial  Education), 
who  discusses  robots  as  part  of  his 
course  on  recent  technological 
developments  of  products  and 
processes  believes  this  is  a  good 
trend.  "Robots  perform  hazardous, 
repetitive,  or  very  tedious  jobs,"  he 
says.  They  tend  to  reduce  labor 


costs,  increase  productivity  and 
perform  with  reduced  breakage. 
They  are  also  resistant  to  obsoles- 
cence. "People  wear  out  faster 
than  robots,"  he  says.  Even  though 
intelligent  robots  are  now  doing 
such  jobs  as  delivering  mail,  they 
should  be  no  threat  to  men,  Elkins 
believes:  "After  all,  none  of  these 
devices  operate  without  human 
input.  Somebody  has  to  program 
them,  and  if  they  break  down,  a 
human  being  has  to  repair  them."

discover  that  it's  on  the  third  floor. 
Or  you  find  the  right  building  but 
there's  no  one  to  direct  you  to  the 
right  room.  Or  maybe  you're  stuck 
in  the  back  row  of  a  500  seat  lec- 
ture hall.  Problems?  Not  for  most 
students.  But  what  about  for  those 
who  are  physically  handicapped  in 
some  way?  What  are  occasional 
annoyances  for  most  of  us  can  be 
major  obstacles  for  disabled  stu- 
dents. 

Currently  on  campus,  there  is  a 
van  with  a  hydraulic,  semi-auto- 
matic lift  which  i.s  used  for  anyone 
having  problems  with  distance 
movement.  It  picks  these  students 
up  and  transports  them  from  one 
classroom  to  the  next.  A  braille 
computer  terminal  is  available  to 
the  blind,  but  at  present  there  is 
only  one  operator.  Funds  have  not 
been  provided  to  employ  a  sighted 
person  to  convert  texts  to  braille. 
There  is  a  mini-library  in  the  coun- 
seling center  for  blind  students,  but 
it  contains  only  a  bore  minimum  of 
materials.  Students  who  are  deaf 
have  no  special  facilities.  Because 
there  are  no  interpreters  deaf  stu- 
dents must  try  to  comprehend  lec- 
tures through  lip-reading. 

Hopefully,  with  surplus  funds 
from  the  student  affairs  office,  the 
program  for  handicapped  students 
will  be  expanded  in  the  near  future. 
There  are  several  projects  under- 
way to  make  life  easier  for  handi- 
capped people  on  campus.  They 
include  a  book  on  the  accessibility 
of  buildings  and  a  tactile  map  of 
the  campus.  A  visual  sign  system  is 
in  the  process  of  being  installed 
across  campus  whereby  room  num- 
ber will  be  painted  on  plastic  signs 
next  to  the  door  of  every  room.  The 
printing  will  be  large  with  a  braille 


translation  beneath  it.  Priority  reg- 
istration will  be  given  to  blind  stu- 
dents to  enable  them  to  find  texts 
on  tape.  Last  year,  grade  reports 
were  issued  in  braille  or  printed  in 
large  letters. 

Deaf  students,  most  of  whom 
cannot  afford  to  pay  registered 
interpreters  $8.50  an  hour,  may  be 
able  to  use  interpreters  hired  by  the 
University.  These  interpreters,  as 
well  as  servicing  the  current  needs 
of  deaf  students,  may  be  used  to 
train  other  interpreters. 

For   those   students   in   wheel- 


chairs, there  will  be  material  detail- 
ing all  accessible  locations.  In  the 
past  few  years  alone,  thirty  or  more 
curb  cuts  have  been  made,  and  ten 
to  fifteen  ramps  have  been  built. 
No  one  with  a  severe  disability  is 
presently  housed  in  a  location 
where  lamps  are  not  available. 

If  enough  funding  comes 
through,  it  will  be  easier  for  handi- 
capped students  to  get  the  educa- 
tion that  those  of  us  without  physi- 
cal disabilities  sometimes  find  diffi- 
cult.

Inaugural  Festivities 


It  happened  about  ten  miles 
down  the  road  from  UM.  About 
350,000  people  came  by  bus, 
plane,  train,  car,  subway  and  on 
foot  to  witness  a  bit  of  history.  Even 
sub-freezing  temperatures  and  ice- 
coated  sidewalks  could  not  keep 
citizens  from  president  Jimmy  Car- 
ter's inaugural. 

Area  residents  and  visitors  from 
other  states  alike  lined  the  parade 
route  along  Pennsylvania  and  Con- 
stitution Avenues,  hoping  to  get  a 
glimpse  of  the  nation's  39th  presi- 
dent. 

After  being  packed  like  sardines 
for  more  than  three  hours  on  the 
Capitol  grounds  to  hear  the  new 
president  sworn  in,  multitudes 
stood  10  to  20  deep  along  the  1 .2 
mile  parade  route.  To  everyone's 
delight,  the  "peoples'  president," 
his  wife  and  family  strolled  merrily 
to  their  new  home  at  1600  Pennsyl- 
vania Avenue.

Swine  Flu 

The  nationwide  swine  flu  inocula- 
tion program  saw  much  heated 
debate  early  this  year. 

The  deaths  of  more  than  40  eld- 
erly people  temporarily  closed 
some  clinics  throughout  the  nation. 
A  debate  on  campus  between  an 
FDA  research  director,  Dr.  J. 
Anthony  Morris,  and  PG  county 
health  department  representative 
Dr.  Susan  Mather  raised  further 
doubts. 

Mather  praised  the  inoculation 
as  preventative  medicine  while 
Morris  expressed  concern  for  the 
conditions  under  which  the  vaccine 
was  being  administered,  and  their 


possible  connections  with  the 
deaths. 

Plans  for  the  campus  health  cen- 
ter's inoculation  program  were  con- 
tinued, though,  and  inoculations 
were  given  as  scheduled  from 
November  1  5-1  9. 

Soon  after  it  was  decided  that 
college-aged  people  needed  a  fol- 
low-up shot.  These  were  scheduled 
for  January  17-19,  but  after  some 
people  who  received  the  vaccine 
developed  varying  degrees  of  par- 
alysis, the  program  was  stopped 
nationwide  by  the  end  of  Novem- 
ber.

In  the  beginning  there  was  the 
Administration.  Then  came  the 
SGA.  Finally  Maryland  Media  was 
created  to  handle  the  financial  con- 
cerns of  the  yearbook  and  four 
other  student  publications. 

The  publications  were  self-sup- 
porting and  free  from  editorial  con- 
trol by  anyone  outside  their  staffs. 
The  professional  and  student  mem- 
bers of  the  corporation  board 
decided  on  budgets  with  publica- 
tion editors. 

But  the  budgets  didn't  always 
work  out  as  planned.  The  daily 
newspaper  was  the  only  publica- 
tion which  brought  any  money  to 
the  corporation.  Questions  were 
raised  about  the  value  of  publica- 
tions which  could  not  support  them- 
selves. The  existence  of  the  literary 


The  yearbook: 
a  dying  breed 

magazine  was  threatened. 

The  yearbook  had  its  problems 
too.  Just  1,000  books  were 
ordered  for  over  29,000  under- 
graduates. At  times  it  was  won- 
dered whether  even  1 ,000  books 
would  be  sold. 

Hypothetical  explanations  for 
this  phenomenon  were  many.  The 
yearbook  staff  wasn't  hustling 
enough.  Nostalgic  interest  in  year- 
books was  dwindling. 

Whatever  the  reasons,  one  thing 
became  apparent.  As  the  supply  of 
yearbooks  from  past  years  waned 
and  sometimes  disappeared  from 
the  shelves  of  the  yearbook  office, 
it  was  noted  that  the  yearbook  has 
become  a  rare  breed. 

The  Terrapin  is  an  endangered 
species.
