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.

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-
12
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.
24

25
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
From One

to Another
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.

SGA is the parent organization
for student groups and extra-curric-

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-

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

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.

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

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
Front row: Sand/ Miller (Monager), Mory Duckworth,
Barbara Yakely, Monica Mintz, Joyce Hinkleman,
Debbie.
Back row: Barbara Drum (Coach), Barbara Bunting,
Nancy Carroll, Janet Borrick, Carol Brice, Jackie
McCobe, Karen Remeikas, Cathy Stevenson, Bonnie
Smith, Ann Lanphear (Asst. Cooch).
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.

Weigel's Netters
Front row: Nancee Weigel (Coach), Julie Schuster, Diane Dunning, Debbie Moss, Cathy Porter, Beth Resnick, Amy
Pumpian, Anita Venner, Lisa Gussack.
Back row: Cindy Kramer, Borb Delevey (Asst. Cooch), Rory Ruppersberger, Greta Laughery, Abbi Greenfield,
Cathy Nadell, Jesse Fennell, Suzanne Green.
Cross Country Runners
The freshman-laden women's
netters squad finished with a credi-
ble record of 20 wins and 15
losses, but were six and two in
dual-meet play. The team's per-
formance was erratic and they
never finished higher than third in
tournament contests.
The team was led by returnees
Abbi Greenfield and Anita Venner
in addition to Suzanne Green, the
team's sole scholarship performer.
Coach Weigel put the Terps
through extensive indoor workouts
during the winter to prepare for a
difficult spring schedule including
perennial powers Princeton and the
University of Virginia.

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.
98
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.
99
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
Wake Forest and introduced sen-
iors on the team. The marching
band and cheerleaders psyched up
the crowd for the game.
The evening concluded a week
of varied activities which ended
with an edgy but satisfying victory
over the Deacons.

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.

The Maryland Public Interest
Research Group is one of thirty
state-wide, Nader-inspired organi-
zations. Student volunteers, guided
by a full time professional staff, use
the legislative, judicial, and admin-
istrative processes at all levels of
government to institute solutions to
social problems.

by economic interests that pursue
profits at the expense of public wel-
fare, fundamental demands for
consumer protection, personal free-
dom and dignity, environmental
preservation and the other requi-
sites of a decent society have not
been satisfied.
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-
PIRG staff, they utilize internships,
field work, independent studies,
class projects and term papers to
develop solutions to public prob-
lems.
"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

Dr. Breed was mistaken about at least

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.
241
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
from the cyclotron through the
beam transport system to the scat-
tering chamber. From there the dis-
semination patterns are conveyed
by electric cable to computers
which analyze the information.
They also print out the nature of the
particles and energies which result
from the scattering experiment.
Weekly tours of the cyclotron
ore open to the public. It's a fasci-
nating journey.

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.
2iO
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-
Pressures of 4000 lo 5000 pounds per square inch pelletize
atmospheric samples. The somples ore then irradiated in a
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-

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.

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

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.

Staffed by competent profes-
sionals and directed by Dr. Marga-
ret Bridwell, the University's Health
Center provides emergency and
routine medical care, health educa-
tion, mental health evaluation and
treatment, and laboratory, x-ray,
and gynecological services.
This year Dr. Bridwell launched a
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation pro-
gram in an attempt to train one out
of every ten persons in emergency
heart resuscitation. This technique
minimizes damage to the brain and
other vital organs due to heart
stoppage.
With the help of volunteers. Dr.
Bridwell began an expanded wom-
en's care program in the health
center basement. The women's cen-
ter was nearly always packed and
booked solid with appointments,
but it offered much needed gyneco-
logical services, pregnancy coun-
seling and birth control programs.

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."

The Agricultural and Life Sci-

the Divisions of Mathematical and
Physical Sciences and Engineering
Departments, sponsored the third
annual Open House one weekend
last October.
The four-day "Quality of Life"
symposium drew 5,000 visitors to
campus. Topics including soil,
aerospace, plants, engineering, fire
protection, lasers, bees, microbiol-
ogy, computers, fossils, earth-
quakes, and many more were dis-
cussed in displays and presenta-
tions by university department
members.
Visitors watched chicks hatch
from eggs, a demonstration of a jet
engine reconnaissance plane simu-
lator, and toured the buildings with
facilities for modern milk produc-
tion. Films about robotics and ani-
mation were shown throughout the
weekend.

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
area draws open house crowds
ranging anywhere from one to one
hundred or more.

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."

You go to your first class only to
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:

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.
