~================~(mK)~================~PRIVATE HIGHER ED DESERVESPlace laThe SunBy Rodney E. AustinId:llemma Students. and their parents,afford the college educationtoday's n economic environment. highereducation finds itself on the horns of aare finding it tncreastngly difficult tothey want ... andneed. At the same time our institutions ofhigher learning are being squeezed financially-many cannot offer education at an affordableprice. That squeeze is particularly acuteat private, independent colleges.Because of these financial difficulties, it iscritical that alternate sources of supportbecome available to maintain a hea1thyeducationalsystem and to maintain a choicebetween public and independent schools. Inour view, the private sector must continue,and where possible. Increase its support toeducation-especially Independent highereducation.More than 60 percent of the top executivesin America's largest corporations receivedpart or all of their formal education at privateinstitutions. Seventy-four percent of thosewith advanced degrees earned them atIndependent colleges.If I may take a personal reference-intoday's world, we often find ourselves Impressedand sometimes overawed with the "the most unlikely of sources." If this strikes"presumed Importance" of size and prestige. you as strange, let's briefly call the roll of a fewFor some reason, tn America, we have been by way of example: Cincinnatus-Socratestemptedto believe that "bigger is better."

Yet, it rs ennrelyFirst., the proposition that a study of htstory appropriate to look to the tradtuonallyand biography indicates that. more often famous and great institutions oflearning tothan not. the most significant leaders and continue their high role of developing talentgreat minds throughout history, for both and leadership through research and educagoodand evil, in all fields, have come from tron in creative thought, science, art andliterature. But that Is not my point-rather toemphasize the hlghlystgnificantcontributionmade in the education of our general citizenryby the small independent liberal arts college.This brings me to my second point.In education, it is usually far more productiveand effective to provide a climate wherethe "good or average" student can have adirect intellectual interaction with a professorhaving a good mind and a personal Interest,than to seek to expose them, In a large untverslty setting, to some of the great academicminds of our day. The distinction Is primarilyone of environment, structure, need and purposeof the Individual relative to the purposeof the institution. There are many wellendowed facllttles available to train thetdentifiedbrilliant and gifted. But In whatenvironment do we best encourage, Inspire,develop and train others not demonstratingsuch immediate and clear promtse, yet whomay later become candidates for the "unlikelyof sources" list?It is In thts role that the small independentcollege provides a service of great importanceto our society and country-and If my interpretationof biography and history Is correct,we will continue to see a relatively "astonishrng"percentage of great and near great mindsand leaders flowtng quietly, but continuously,from-"the most unlikely of sources."America draws its strength from its widediversity. The American educational system isstronger for providing the additional dimensionof opportunities for its young people, offeredspecifically by our independent colleges.Editor's Note: Rodney E.

A1IAboardforWMeestern Maryland College. engnallynamed after a railroad, Isettlng back into training. Thehessfe System (C5X) hasdonated a 1923 caboose to the college, whichwill be renovated jointly by CSX and the classof 1984."Chesste did the major refurbishing," saidoutgoing class president Ken Schaefer. "Nowwe can have some fun with It." That fun IncludesInterior renovations that wtll tum thecaboose into a concession stand, where refreshmentsfor athletic events wtll be sold.The idea was that of the students' from thestart. 'We originally wanted a brass train bell,"Schaefer said. Those, however, are expensivecollectors items. After investigating someother Items, the class offtcers decidedto pursue a caboose for the class gift."When we began asking members of theclass. they said 'Why are we wasting money ona caboose: ..according to Suzie Mannlng,lastyear's class historian and tncomtng presldent.When told It would be turned Into a refreshmentstand, and not much class fundingwould be needed, everyone agreed "It's a reallygood Idea," Manning said. Beth Ptskora. outgoingclass vice president. was also Instrumentalin the project."I think the Idea was magnificent." saidVera Leclercq, public relations and advertrstngdirector forCSK. 'We are not sure. but webelieve this type of gift Is untq ue to a college."The caboose. which arrived on campus themorning of July 29. was in the traditionalcolors of the Western Maryland Railroad.(Western Maryland Railroad later merged intothe Chesste System. which recently changedits corporate name to CSX.) That means thecaboose could have any of a number of differentcolor schemes. according to RichardClower, WMC athletic director and a railroadhistorian.The college is believed to be named afterthe Western Maryland Railroad, which ranthrough Westminster. John Smith. the firstPresident of the WMC Board of Trustees. wasThomas, Bennett &;> Hunter. Inc., Westminstercontractors, transported the cabooseto campus, installing a section of railroadsiding near Scott S. Barr Stadium, and securtngthe caboose to the siding. according toLloyd B. Thomas, prestdent of the firm and atrustee of the college.News From The HIllTeaching McCluhanBeginning in the sprtng 1983WestemMaryland College will offer a bachelor'sprogram In communicationsdegreestudies. This new major was endorsedby the Institutional approval and programcommittee the State Boardofof Higher Education during Its Julymeeting.As an interdisciplinary program.Studies In Communications Is aimed atpreparing students "to pursue careersIn publtctty and public relations. Inmedia design. production. and management,"according to department spokesmanDr. Del Palmer.Speaking at the SBHE committeemeeting. Palmer said the college hopedthe new major would continue to attractstudents Interested In the field. Currentlyabout12 students at the collegehave student designed majors with anemphasis in communications. Palmernoted that the new major would givestructure and depth to the present communicationoptions.The new curriculum will Include 24hours within the department. Includedwould be Internships with local newspapersor radio and 1V stations, fUmand Video production. and studies ofmedia effects. Courses In other departments.such as speech and journalism,are also Included In the major.~WMC Grants M.S. DegreeThe Maryland State Board for HigherEducation has granted Western MarylandCollege the authorization to awarda Master of Science (M.S.) degree as partof Its graduate studies program. TheM.S. degree option Is designed for studentswho have career needs differentfrom those of students in the traditionalM.Ed. program.The present M.Ed. degree offers studentsa broad liberal arts curriculumwith a concentration In one of nineareas such as admlnistratton. counseloreducation or special education. This2curriculum would remain essentiallythe same except the current undergraduateprerequisite of nine hours ineducation would not be required of M.S.degree candidates. The college's proposalfor the change stated that "sincethese courses do not contribute to thestudent's career objective. they becomea rather Significant and costly additionalrequirement that the studentmust accept If the program Is to bepursued at WMC."The M.S. degree students w1l1 takecourses which already exist, substitutingfor courses which are directed specificallyto education. In addition. allpractical applications. Including internships.would be related to a settingother than schools. Their advisementwill be handled by the same program coordinators.who tailor programs to meetthe IndiVidual needs of the student.The establishment of the M.S. degreeIncreases the overall Viability of thegraduate program of the college byextendingIts attractiveness to a largergroup of students.Hot Off the CampusDUring the 1982-83 academic year.many familiar faces will be absent fr~~~~ec~~~~~I~~ ~a~~ht~Pp~~~~:: varlety~f~~je~!~batiCaiSduring the f~semester '82 will be David Herlock e .professor of chemistry and Daniel Ree~:~~~I~~rr~::l:~e~f ~~~~oc~n:~c.ttng laborat~ry research on campus I~volvtng the development of chemiC
=================~(mK)~================~CLINICBOOSTSYOUNGREADERSDId you know that there was astrawberry vine growing in WinslowCenter this summer? Therewere also ice cream cones andbaseball caps on the wall. Not to mention thatPapa Smurfand the gang, dressed tn blue'p-shtrts and white floppy hats, were hangingfrom the ceiling.This was not a special edition of Saturdaymorning cartoons. And even more surprising,children learned to read because of ice cream,strawberries, baseball caps, and Smurfs.These figures decorated Winslow classroomswhere local children participated In a remedialsummer reading program coordinated by Dr.Joan Coley,associate professor of education.The success of the program can be attributedto the individualized approach. There are twoinstructors for every 6-8 children. The cltntcis a support group for the public schools who"often refer children to the clinic," says Coley,"and, in turn, the instructors are requtred tosend a report back to them for each child whoparticipated in the program."-Ibc most important responsibility of the instructorswas to design and create activitiesto inspire the children and capture their attentton.For instructor Patti Robins, "it's achallenge to be continually enthusiastic andencouraging." But she was rewarded by thethrill of watching slow readers improve andexcel. The six Instructors, Patti Robins, a highschool English teacher, and Karen Brockway,Tijuana Hoekstra. Laurie Kramer, KarenNelson, and Sarah Rucker, elementary schoolteachers, were M.Ed. candidates at WMC. Asteachers they brought helpful classroom experienceto the clinic, yet. In its proper perspectivethe course is the teaching practlcumof the graduate program.The children learned in a step-by-step processof activities all of which required reading.ByAmyMcKe ...... L.L:o.........r.;,..,..._ ...Smurfs. characters from the hottest children'sSaturday morning cartoon show. helped thechildren to improve reading skills. Encircledby crayons and scissors, one group coloredlarge Smurfs. cut out the figures. and bakedthem for six minutes. It was "cinch" accordingto rune-year-old Ricky because "we read thedirections off the board," The finished product,a miniature Srnurf or Shrtnky Dink. wasmounted on a stand for the children to takehome. Afterwards. they selected a new word.wrote it on a scoop of tee cream (coloredpaper), and stapled it to a cone on the bulletinboard. The youngest children wrote a storyand placed their new word on a strawbenyvine. Each day the numberofberries increaseduntil the end of the week when the vine wasremoved and the children kept their papertreasures.In another acttvtty students studied thetraditions of American holidays. On an ordinaryday spaghetti, liver, a dried aprtcot, and aplatex glove have nothing in common. But onHalloween, they come alive as intestines, a realliver, an ear, and a hand. After the objects werepassed around the children wrote a completesentence describing something about theactivity. From the group's list the childrenchose a sentence that was new or dtfftcult andput them in a word bank, a key ling on whichnew words are saved and memorized.These were just a few of the imaginativeschemes created by the instructors to makesuccess tangible and reading more exctung.Another ingredient which was necessary for achild's success was the encouragement fromhis parents. Thetr voluntary efforts to seekoutside help for their child demonstrated awillingness to support the clinic. According toColey,their role was to reinforce the successand provide sincere praise for their children.One of the students, Steven, will enter fourthgrade this fall.He barely passed the thirdgrade, and his mother is worried that he maynot be so lucky next year. "Steven doesn't likeschool very much and has never been a goodreader, I'm hoping the clinic will help him,"his mother commented. The Instructors acceptedproblem students like Steven and triedto change the chtld's attttude toward readingthrough exciting and challenging activitieswhich helped foster a more postttve outlook.If nothing else, the overall goal of the clinicwas for each child to have a successful readingexperience while he or she was there.Any first day jitters were immediately easedbecause of the personal nature of each classroom.Instructors saw eye to eye with thechildren, literally, and sat on the floor withthem. There were no desks and everyone wasknown on a first-name basis.Several youngsters, bright-eyed and eager,shared their feelings about the clinic; 'Wedo normal stuff ... it's not as long as schooland there's different things to do .. ,Wemakethings ... Iremember the sentences on theback of the cards in my word bank."Coley does not consider herself anotherAnn Sullivan, but she takes pride in thechildren that leave her clinic all of whom Improvein at least one area "I get many phonecalls from teachers and parents who appreciativelyremark on the children's progress.It's not out of the ordinary for a parent to saythat their child has moved up two readinglevels."This is very gratifying to the professor whois stnl a kid at heart. Coley loves spendingtime with children. For her, it is a refreshingchange of pace, moving from the sometimesstuffy field of academia to the fertile, enlighteningmind of a young child. As the childrenwould say, "It's a Smurfy place to be:'News From The HIllpossible demands of a pledge masterback at the university.About the same time we suspendedthe charter of one fraternity, and cancelledspring and fall rush for another,for basically the same type of thing.80th collegepolicies and the law wereviolated in spite of a clear affirmationof the Institutional position before thepledge period began.

A once-easy forehand shot nowcauses great pain.You've been running for a few years, butrecently you've changed running shoes. Noweach step causes a sharp pain in the knee.As a none-too-serious softball player. you'vehad an injury-free career. A succession ofsprains and strains leaves you wondering howyou survived all those years.With more people than ever suffering fromailments similar to the ones above, it's nosurprise that an entire group of specialistshas evolved to help cure and prevent suchmaladies: sports medicine practitioners."Briefly defined ... sports medicine is thescientific and medical aspects of exercise andathletics," wrote American College of SportsMedicine past-president David R Lamb In theSports Medicine Bulletin (January, 1981).While the field of sports medicine is relativelynew, It is mostly a combination of olderdisciplines. Athletic trainers, orthopedic specialists,surgeons and psychologists havebeen around for years, but only recently havethey combined with a focus on athletics. Concurrentlyseveral new related fields developedalong with the explosion in athletic endeavor.Exercise physiology is the study of how thebody reacts to virogous activity, while biomechanicsis the study of human motion.Physical education professor H. SamuelCase, '63, is WMC's leading sports medicineexpert. An exercise phystclogtst. Case touredthe country in 1980 to test athletes for theUnited States Olympic Committee (USOC).'The purpose (of the tour) was to Identifythe physiological profile of elite athletes," saidCase, who is also wrestling coach for theGreen Terrors. 'We also wanted to test thedevelopmental athlete and collect data fortra1ning programs."To do the testing. Case used a van equippedwith a treadmill. a bicycle ergometer. an electrocardiogram(EKG) machine, and an assortmentof devices to measure weight. height,oxygen intake. fat percentage and flexibility.Why the van? "It's cheaper to send one ortwo physrologtsts out to the athletes than tosend all the athletes to Colorado Springs (theUSOC training Site)." Case said.The purpose of the testing can be two-fold.In one instance, it might help an Injuredathlete. In another case, it might help preventinjury and maximize performance.Case related his experience with a swimmerwho had arthroscopic surgery on his knee asan example of the rehabilitation process. 'Wewere able to pinpoint a weakness In the rangeof motion and speed. USinga computer printout,"he said.The type of surgery the swimmer had on hisknee has been a big help to athletes, accordingto anotherWMC grad who Is deeply InvolvedIn sports medicine. Charles E. Silberstein.M.D..'54, is co-director of the Children's HospitalSports Medicine Clinic in Baltimore."The biggest boon (for sports medicine) hasbeen the Increased use of arthroscopic surgery,"said Silberstein. who Is an orthopedtcsurgeon by training. "It's a good. quick way toget an accurate diagnosis," Old fashionedsurgery for athletic problems, particularly Inthe area of the knee. often required largeIncisions and long periods of recovery.If rehabilitation Is one aspect of sportsmedicine. then prevention is another. andthis Is where the distinction between sportsmedicine and physical fitness blurs,Bruce Lefew, '78. Is director of physical fitnessand director of the 'Wellness Program"at Sacred Heart Hospi tal. in Cumberland, Md.As director of physical fitness, Lefew is incharge of "preventive adult fitness for hospitalemployees and the public in general" The'Wellness Program," he adds, "is a preventivelifestyle. which includes not smoking, moderatedrinking. good eating and reduction ofhigh blood pressure."Lefew worked as an intern in the Kent Stateadult fitness program before moving to Cumberland,"I set up and developed this program,"he said of the Sacred Heart system.

"1 am alsoteaching some fitness courses at Ft. Detrickand the National Cancer Research Center."Despite advancements in the field of sportsmedicine. there are still some hurdles to overcome.and some are ingrained in the traditionof athletics in America.Case. who has traveled extensively andstudied sports medicine In Norway, notedthe differences between athletic developmentin various nations. While top U.S,athletes willspread out to colleges and universities acrossthe nation. elite athletes will train together foryears at a time in many nations. includingcommunist countries.To help remedy the problem. USOC has expandedits training program. and many athletestrain year-round at facilities in Colorado,"They have hired more physiologists," Casesaid, "Before. there was only one volunteer.Now there are two working full-time, withthe chance for a third one (depending onfundtng.j"Since the government does not pay for theprogram (although there are some federalmonies involved). USOC must raise its ownfunds, That was another purpose of the tourmade by Case with the specially equipped van,The van would test executives of major corporations.and many were found to have highriskcardiac symptoms. Case. who is a fellowin the American College of Sports Medicine,would recommend a course of action, and thegrateful corporations would gladly donatemoney.With an eye to this booming trend, thephysical education department at WesternMaryland College has two related programs.For undergraduates. there is an academictrack in sports medicine.

~~~~~~~~~~(MK)~~~~~~~~~~COMPUTERS:Learning Aid for Deaf StudentsBy Amy McKennaEmmanuel Azodeh speaks four Africandialects In addttton to speakingEnglish: Vera Confectioner speaksGerman, Spanish and English. Inspite of thetr ability to master several languages.their reading comprehension inEnglish is below that of most graduate students\Vestern Maryland who have comparableat aeducation background. Why?Theyare deaf, and because of their handicapreading an average text book assignmentrequires longer than It would for a hearingstudent and their comprehension may begreatly reduced.Dr. Donald Rabush, associate professor ofeducation, recognized this language barrierand did something about It. "Deaf studentsneeded to get an even footing with the hearingstudents in OUf classes." By utilizing computersto interact with the specific languageof the course, Rabush discovered that the studentsare better able to comprehend the readingmaterial and maintain the nonnalload ofcoursework.'TWoyears ago, as part ofa January Termproject, Ramona Ponce, '81, programmed truefalsequestions from the text used in Dr.Rabush's class, Psychology of the ExceptionalChild, to the computer. The program, a totalof 600 multtple choice review questions,serves as a study guide for deaf students,Each time he teaches the course Rabush personallyinstructs deaf students on the use ofthe computer terminal. After reading a chapter,the students can command the terminalto display the review questions, respond tothe questions and the responses are scored.One may wonder if the computers are anaid or a distraction to the students as theyattempt to adapt the textbook material. Verawas convinced of the benefits: "Because I havelittle practice speaking or writing English, thetests are verydifficu1t. Using the computerprogram as a study guide helps me to selectthe important ideas from the reading,"Deaf students struggle to interpret textbookmaterial because they have a language deficit.The deaf have their own language, AmericanSign Language (ASL),This sign languagemakes use of signs and a manual alphabet inwhich voices and letters are communicatedby various positions of the fingers and hands.It also uses facial expression and body languageto make a statement. The vocabulary isoften conceptual for language efflctency. andis delivered in a different syntactical manner.For instance, a hearing person says, "Ididn'tget to work until noon yesterday because Ihad an accident." Adeaf person might say,'Yesterday happened me accident: work arrivenoon," In reading, deaf students often encounterwords they have never used and theymust constantly refer to a dictionary, By thetime a deaf student has completed an assignment.the reading rate and comprehensionlevel have decreased significantly.Rabush explains that these students do nothave the opportunity to learn English, whichis basically an auditory language, "throughthe air"-in daily conversations, watching TV;listening to the radio or hearing others speak,They do not grow up hearing their parentstalk and many do not learn a sign system orASL until they are older, They may learn tolipread but only about 35 percent of normalspeech is comprehended. Imagine watchingthe evening news with the volume turneddown-many of us wou1d be unable to determinewhat is happening in world news:orunderstand tomorrow's weather forecast.Without the experience ofhstentng andverbalizing, something hearing persons takefor granted, it is difficu1t for a deaf student tolearn to read and write. As a promoter ofmainstreamtng-tntegrattng the handicappedwith other students by graduallytransferring them from special classes tonormal classroom situations-Rabush chosecomputers as a vehicle to equalize the readingmaterial for each individual. The instructor,who is hard of hearing, takes his job seriously,'" wouldn't be doing my JOP III didn't try tomeet the needs of my students. It's a teacher'Sobligation." Emmanuel appreciates this adjustment."I never clearly understood what Iwas reading. The computer helps me to studybetter." Not surprisingly, the test scores ofdeaf students have shown a significant Improvement.Rabush reports a direct correlationbetween course grades and the numberof hours the student spends on the computer.He believes that computer "prepping" hasimproved grades by as much as 30 to 40 percent."Before, my class used to be divided bygrades. Icould tell without looking at thenames; hearing students had the A's and B'sand deaf students the C's and D's. Now,it'salmost even across the board."News From The HIllStacks on ComputerIn August 1981. WMC's <strong>Hoover</strong> <strong>Library</strong>acquired two floppy disk extensionunits.

"Keeping track of theseexpenditures by department has been alaborious and time-consumlng process.Currency ofdepartmental budget informationfor dectston-maktng purposeswas a major problem. Computer managementof the figures has made Itpossible for us to have up-to-date informationreadily available."Accordingto Bachmann, Infonnatton that used totake library personnel a day and a halfto retrieve can now be obtained In20 minutes.A third project Is annctpated for the1983 ftscat year: the maintenance ofa periodical holdings list. The collegeItbrary subscribes to almost 850 periodicalsa year,tapping 48-50 percent ofthe acquisitions budget. The periodicalholdings list Iscurrently maintained ina central campus computer to whichaccess is limited.

Nancy'swork reflects both backgrounds: she Is agraphic artist In the Art as Applled to MedicineDepartment of Johns Hopkins Hospital.An Internship at the National Aquariumwas Nancy's starting block. too. She worked Intheir education department and helped developand produce a resource pamphlet Fromthere she went on to do publications work forBaltimore New Directions for Women.

Includingher WMC honors project. a Hopkins professorrecommended her for an opening In the hospital'sart department. Nancy was hired to fillthe position as a graphic artist. In this capacityshe works with medical Illustrators anddoctors on art work needed for projects suchas books. reports. displays and programs.Nancy's clients provide her with the informationthat needs to be illustrated or displayed,and she and the other artists develop theappropriate final art work. She works withother graphic artists and illustrators on variousstages of a variety of projects.As an artist It has been stimulating forNancy to work with experienced artists. "Justworking with these people teaches me newthings every day." It has been exci tlng andchallenging to learn how to use the facllltlesand advanced equipment available at Hopkins;she has learned to use sophisticated lettering,copying and printing equtpment.

Hispurpose was to protect humanity by destroyinga demon king-Ravana-and at the sametime to provide for all time a model of how theperfect king, the perfect son, the perfectbrother, the perfect husband should behave.The story of Rama- The Ramayana-Is to befound all over India and especially carved Instone on the walls of Hindu temples. Since ItIs clearly a political story, I was attracted tothe idea of studying its depiction In templearchitecture. I must confess that I like Hindutemple art as well as the art of photography.Consequently, one of my major efforts while Iwas on sabbatlcalleavewas to visit some sixtytemples taking photographs of scenes for TheRamayana.One need not limit this activity to temples.The story Is given In literature. poetry. classicaldance. drama, films, In ancient bronzes.on wooden temple carts, village shadow puppetshows. In music, on cloth, in chalk "painttngs"on roadways and even on coins andtemple tokens. Thus, while focustng on thispolitical story It Is POSSible to gain Insightinto a wide spectrum ofIndlan lifeand art. and the process of getting to theplaces where these representations of the epicare to be found takes one to off-the-beatentrackparts of the country where one can experiencea wide variety of visual, culinary,sanitary and climatic "delights." Almost withoutexception Ann and I were welcomed by thepeople as honored visttors.Ltruet that was ttclear those we met that we have Immensetorespect for the Indian heritage and appreciationfor the multitude ofktndnesses they haveshownus,Over the centuries, the Hindus have developedmany different architectural styles. Inthe state of Kamataka. the artists of theHoysala dynasty developed a distinctive styleIn the twelfth and thirteenth centuries whichmade extensive use of Ramayana scenes inthe bands of stone carvings around the temple,As one circumambulates the temple thestory can be followed through the series ofscenes. The viewer presumably knows thestory. The sequence of scenes would provide areligious experience not unlike that whicha person In Europe might have tn the presenceof stained glass scenes in a Gothic cathedral.In neither case would understandingrequtre that the viewer be able to read or behighly sophisticated in his religious beliefs.The Hoysalas built many temples and wecertainly photographed more of them thanany other styte.The Rama story Is of events which lendfullthemselves to depiction In stone. The demonRavana was an able, talented and good manwho had earned his blessings from the gods.He asked that be given protection fromheharm by the gods, and it was granted. Butthis meant that he could exercise powerunrestrained.'Tl-rey believe In India. as we do, that powercorrupts. And so this competent and honorableman became supremely corrupted. Thegods came to Vishnu and asked for help indealing with this unrestrained "demon" andVishnu obliged by allowing himself to be bornas a man. who would ultimately deal withRavana's demonic power over the universeovergods and man alike. He was born as theoldest of four sons of the king of Ayodhya.Unfortunately for Rama, but necessaryfor the unfolding story, the king had threewives, all of whom were equally loved andrespected by the king and all four sons. Butthe youngest wife wanted her son to be kingin place of'Rarna and demanded that the kinggrant her this wish, In accord with a promiseNews From The HillCasts MendedSusan A Lucy.

He sent one of hislesser demons to go to the forest In the form ofa golden deer.

Finally he caught up withthe deer and shot tt.At that moment. thedemon called In Rama's voice for Lakshmanato help him.

When Stta came out of the house to givehim food he seized her and put her in a cageon his flying machine. Ravana is almost alwaysportrayed with ten heads which makeshim easy to spot In any scene and makes Iteasier for observers to follow the story. Theten heads are symbols of his ten good and badattributes.After her capture Stta Is locked In thecage while Ravana kills a great and good birdwho seeks to rescue her.

!~VlNG A ~L~1\. \,Dr.Larry Blumberg. '67. is having ablast. As president and part ownerof the Baltimore Blast indoorsoccer team, he has watched theteam capture the interest (and dollars) of areasports fans In the winter, much as the Orioleshave done in the summer.Using marketing techniques that are almostradical by professional athletic standards.and molding a game with worldwidepopularity Into one that will satisfy Americanspectators. the team has quickly won acceptancefrom area sports fans. who often fill theBaltimore Civic Center to capacity."Baltimore itself can take some credit forthe success of the Blast," says native sonBlumberg. "This Is a great sports town." Hepointed to the recent upsurge In the popularityof the Orioles, and the way the townsupported the Colts from late 1950s throughthe early 19705.But Baltimore might never have discoveredthe exci tement of Indoor soccer had It notbeen for an aggressive, grassroots marketingcampaign. Players and management personnelregularly make speaking engagements,players give numerous soccer clinics aroundthe metropolitan area and the athletes areencouraged to be outgoing in public.''\\e are not above the people," insistsBlumberg, who doesn't want Blast playerslabeled snobby and aloof, as many professionalathletes are. 'We give back to the cl ty asmuch as we can." For example, the teamdonated to charttyftftycents from every ticketsold to a preseason game this year. A roast inhonor of head coach Kenny Cooper netted$3,000 for another chart ty.The Blast also runs a heavy advertisingcampaign. ''We feel that we know our targetmarkets," according to Blumberg, who addsthat much of the advertising is geared to 18-to 35-year aIds. "However, we haven't precludedany group." The young children arereached, of course, through the clinics.Marketing a professional sports franchiseis just one of many endeavors for Blumberg,who lives with his wife and two sons nearBrooklandville. He Is an orthopedic surgeonwho is on the teaching staff at University ofMaryland Hospt tal, and on the medical staff atfour others. Blumberg is active in real estate,and plans to get his master's In businessadministration from Loyola College In thespring.He entered western Maryland with plans ofplaying football. wrestling and majoring Inbiology. He had been a soccer player in highschool at City College, but was recruited byBob waldorf for football. "He (WhldorOjustwent out and recruited good athletes:' Blumbergsays. "They didn't have to be footballplayers." Unfortunately, the football andwrestling plans were ruined when he brokehis neck just before matriculation.He ultfmately got back Into competitivesports as a senior, playing for the newlyformedlacrosse team. "Sam Case just got theguys together," says Blumberg of the team,which became a varsl ty team the follow+ngyear. "It was run. and it got things going onthe way to a varsity team."Western Maryland also helped Blumbergprepare for his graduate work. 'The educationI received atWestem Maryland was of excellentquality, both in the sciences and liberalarts:' he says. He went on to medical school atthe University of Maryland, and Interned atUniversity Hospl tal.Blumberg now has an office In North Baltimoreand one near Franklin Square Hospital,where he is on the staff. He Is also affiliatedwith Mercy, Maryland General and GoodSamaritan hospitals. He was the Blast's teamphysician during the club's first season. "Itwas tough to take care of the players and stillbe their boss," Blumberg says, so he steppeddown as team doctor before the 1981-82season.His desire to invest in a sports franchisebecame known In the mld- and late-1970s.and in the fall of 1979, the Civic Center Commissionapproached him about moving anindoor soccer team to the city. Blumberg anda bus load of sports writers traveled to Philadelphiato watch the local Indoor team, theFever, and returned with a favorable impression.The doctor also consulted Vince Baglt. arespected local sportscaster, who agreed thatBaltimore would support a franchise. Blumbergmade a proposal to Major Indoor SoccerLeague (MISL)commissioner Earl Forman,and watted.Meanwhile, halfway across the continent.Bernie Rodin was looking to move theHouston franchise closer to his New Yorkoffices and into a better soccer market. Rodincalled Blumberg. the league approved themove, and the rest Is history.Rodin is now director of the Blast and chairmanof the board. As president, Blumbergoversees the day-to-dayoperations of the club,while Rodin deals In league relations andtravels around the world working deals forplayers. General manager Mitch Burke worksunder the two owners. ''We have had goodmanagement by Mitch and coach KennyCooper," explains Blumberg, "so day-to-dayproblems have been negligible."Although the Blast is a well-managed team,the league is still in its infancy. Nothing canguarantee that it won't join box lacrosse, teamtennis and the World Football League in thesports graveyard. There are signs. though.that the league ts corrung Into ilSO"-'l"l.About the same time the MISL began operation.the North American Soccer League(NASL)was looking for a way to use its outdoorplayers during the indoor season andmake some extra money. So the NASLturnedto indoor soccer, sometimes competing withthe MISL In the same ctty. After arguingwhich league was more financially stable andwhich had the better product. a truce wascalled last summer. The NASLdisbanded Itsindoor league, and some of the more proft tableteams joined the MISL."Now that there Is one indoor soccer league,that will be the sport of the decade," saysBlumberg. "In the 1990s,all types of soccerwill be well established in this country."News From The HIllSelling SoccerWhen Mitcb Burke, general managerof the Baltimore Blast Indoor soccerteam, was unable to fulfill a recentspeaking engagement with a group ofBaltimore public relations people.coachKennyCooperfilledIn forhim.In most instances, a coach would beas qualified to speak about marketingand public affairs as a P.R specialistwould be to coach a profeestonal soccerteam. But the Blast is no ordinary professtonalsports franchise. "I have itwritten Into my players' contracts thatthey must make personal appearances:'Cooper told the International Associationof Business Communicators BaltimoreChapter at a recent meeting.Cooper, who Is also a marketing 'consultantto the makers of Dr. Pepper,went on to explain the team's theory ofgrassroots community involvement.But all the good marketing in theworld won't sell people on an inferiorproduct. and Larry Blumberg, '67. partowner and president of the ball club.feels indoor soccer has some strongselltng potnts"It's an exciting sport with end-toendaction," says Blumberg. Indeed. thegame Is soccer played in an ice hockeyarena. with some rules borrowed fromIcehockey.I.e..penalty boxes. three-linepasses. etc.Thegame Is said to resemblea human pinball game. with six playersto a side.Most of the teams wear bright colors.The Blast uniforms are white. gold andred, with black trim. The team logo isan exploding soccer ball in red andgold. Additionally, a number of teamsIn the league (Including the Blast andthe S1. louis Steamers) feature exoticplayer Introductions and admittedlypartisan public address announcers."there Is some sex appeal to thegame:' admits Blumberg. who notesthat about half the team'S audienceis female.The game is easy to understand.Since the ball can be kicked off thedasher boards and plexlgIass. It rarelygoes out ofbounds. And one of the mostcomplicated outdoor soccer rules, offsides,Is eliminated. Instead, the ballmay not cross all three lines on thefield on one kick. The lines are equivalentto the center line and blue linesin icehockey."The game has a broad base orsupport" says Blumberg. The recentrecreation league soccer boom has contributedto this. as has the fact thatpeople of all sizes can play soccer. It isgenerally violence-free,although thereIs plenty of contact and an occasionalpush or shove.Unlike footballgames. which usuallylast more than three hours. and baseballgames. which often go into extrainnings, Indoor soccer games are relativelyshort: most matches last abouttwo hours.Part of the successful Blast marketingprogram has Included advertrstng.While the team tries to attract a widevariety of fans, perhaps the most creatJveadvertrsmg Is for the upbeat 18-to 35-yearold audience.6The mythical figure in the campaignlast year was Morris Millman,a typicalBlast fan who was known as the team's"seventh man:' (The theory is that avocal home crowd is equivalent to havingan extra player on the field.IIn one radio commercial from the1981-82 season. Morris approaches awoman in a singles bar and beginsbragging that he plays for the Blast.The woman replies that she's a Blastran. but doesn't recognize him. andasks his name. Millmangives his name:the woman says she doesn't know thename. and doubts that he's on the team.Morris replies that he's the so-calledseventh man. and goes on to explainhow Important he Is to the club. Morrisnever gets the date. but the listenerstays tuned long enough to learn thedate and time of the next home game.Somehow, that commercial representsthe slightly offbeat way the Blastmarkets Itself.

The history of our school mascot, theGreen Terror, is far from clear. Itsorigin remains a mystery to thosewho have tried to solve It. Some saythat William Wilson Wingate, '18, coined thephrase "Green Terror" In an article he wrotefor the Baltimore Sun. Others believe thatcoach Ken Shroyer was the first person todesignate the term as our school mascot. Theearliest known printed reference of the term"Green Terrors" is in the WMC Monthly ofOctober 15, 1923. Before this date, the teamwas known as the Green and Gold warriors,representing the team colors that are stillused today.It is tradition that the wearer of the GreenTerror costume is kepta secret, but the 1982edition of the college yearbook, Crossroads,uncovered the Identity of one of the GreenTerrors, Bill Byrne, '82. His identity was discoveredafter Crossroads reporters noted thathe was conspicuously absent from three yearsof home football games.Just who are the rest of those masked greenmen?
