Cultural Affairs Committee

The Cultural Affairs Commit­tee of the Student Affairs Office is continuing its informational series. "Metropolitan Man: His Many Faces." The program was con­ceived in recognition of the obliga­tion and the opportunity of the Universi ty in its urban setting to keep its students, faculty, and staff informed regarding the prob­lems of the metropolitan area. It has ta pped the resources of the community to bring a variety of authorities from the Baltimore area to speak on their particular areas of interest.

Dr. Gay Speaks On October 22, Merrill C.

Gay, Head of the Economic De­partment at the University of Bal­timore, spoke to the State meeting of Maryland Public Finance Offi­cers at Deep Creek Lake Park .

Followi ng an address by the acting Governor, Mr. Blair Lee, Dr. Gay spoke to the group on "The Place of the U.s. in Today's World Economy".

Picking up at the point of the U.S. Free-world economy and financial leadership at the end of World War II, Dr. Gay traced U.s. policy and performance down to the present time. Within this orientation he considered the presen t and future role of the U.s., taking into account the international financial crisis, and the future role of the dollar, the developing new policy vis a vis Mainland China and the emer­gence of potential isolationist policies within the U.s.

The President's New Eco­nomic Policy was later discussed under the leadership of Dr. Strauss, of the United States Treasury.

government positions and in law practice. Approximately seventy­five percent of the courses, day and evening, are offered by full­time teachers, as compared with the ABA requirement of sixty­seven percen t. The part-ti me lec­turers include some of the fore­most judges, practicing attorneys and government officials in Mary­land.

While the admission require­ments are not as stringent as at most ABA approved schools, the School of Law admissions policy does meet more than the mini­mums for compliance with this standard. It requires at least 90 semester hours of under-graduate work with a cumulative quality point average of 2.5, which is mid-way between Band C, and a Law School Admissions Test score above 525, which is at the 52nd percentile. Ninety-five percent of the students admitted hold bacca­laureate degrees. The quality point average of the entering class is about 2.7 and the median LSAT score 530. More than 400 appli­cants were not admitted to the fall 1971 entering class.

The curriculum, degree re­quirements, academic standards, and student activities are in all respects equal to those of the average ABA approved schools.

The quality of the Law Library collection and number of volumes presently exceeds the mi nimums prescribed by the A.B.A. The collection numbers approximately 35,000 volumes, inclusive of 10,000 acquired by merger of the Mt. Vernon School of Law with the University Law School. The Law Library staff includes three professionals, two other full-time assistants, and six student assistants. The collection staff and facilities of the Law Library compare favorably with many A.B.A. approved schools of the size of this School's day divi­sion .

The physical plant of the Law School now includes the re­decorated fifth and sixth floors of Charles Hall, housing law faculty, student activities offices and a secretarial position, a fourth floor law student lounge, exclusive use of the third floor classrooms, as well as the fourth floor of the Langsdale Library for administra­tion and some faculty offices. These facilities are adequate for the present operation of the School. A law faculty committee has been appointed to plan a new Law School building, in the Uni­versity development planning two to three years hence.

Following Professor Ruud's inspection visit in November, a report is made by him to the ABA Council of the Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, which meets in February . In addition to clearing the Council, a school must also receive favorable recommendation by the Section and final determination is made by the A.B.A. House of Delegates. The Section does not meet until August, 1972, and therefore that is the earliest time that the Univer­sity can hope for provisional approval.

traditional reference to a major field of concentration; the estab­lishmen t of a standard 3-credit, rather than a 2-credit or 4-credit course; the division of the four­year course of study into a basic first two years, which would be generally required of freshmen and sophomores in the School of Business, and an upperclass course of study providing for more elec­tives and more departmental con­centration of effort in the two upper-class years.

The Curriculum Committee

Cambridge Extension

The University of Baltimore at Cambridge has had a successful beginning with the enrollment of forty-five students. Three courses are being offered the Fall semester and an equal number of courses are being planned for the Spring semester.

Mrs. Dorothy Nave, Super­visor of Reading and Elementary Education for Dorchester County, teaches Educa tion 411, Methods of Reading. Management 101, In­troduction to Data Processing, is taught by Mr. Rodman Voorhees, Manager of Data Processing at Cambridge Wire Cloth Company. Mr. Robert C. Wilson, who heads his own accounting firm in Cam­bridge, is the instructor for Ac­counting 101, Principles of Ac­counting.

Dean Edward M. Fritz, Direc­tor of Extension Programs at the University, spoke enthusiastically about the Cambridge School when asked to comment on its progress: "This excellent response in the Cambridge area encourages the university to look for an expand­ing extension program in the future in other areas in Maryland. The concept of the University of Baltimore as a metropolitan insti­tution serving the state of Mary­land is one which we consider a

was not unaware of the fact that its decisions as to the academic content of the curriculum and its application would have a far­reaching effect. It therefore exerted considerab Ie effort in pre­scribing an academic atmosphere calculated to develop successful graduates. There was, for example, unanimous agreement that the academic offerings to evening stu­dents should equal in every way those available to day students. Whi Ie recognition was given to the important role played by part time instructors in the field of business, the need for full time faculty members in the evening as well as in the day was recognized. A very difficult decision had to do with allocation of the student's ti me over a four-year period between professional (Business) subjects and general (Liberal Arts) studies in the proposed curriculum. After some discussion, it was agreed that the 120 semester hours' work re­quired for the Bachelor of Science degree should be split evenly be­tween Liberal Arts and Business

Plans are now being. imple­mented to offer a television course on Station WCEM early next year . Mr. Harry Amtower, Professor of Sociology at the University of Baltimore, will teach Sociology 203, Marriage and the Family . The course will deal with the role of the family in modern society, social and economic factors which affect family life, factors to be considered in preparation for marriage, problems of marital ad­justment, and problems of parent­hood . Through cable television, the new course could reach 2600 homes on the Eastern Shore. Mr. Samuel Cannon, President of WCEM, has worked closely with the University in establishing the new program. Credit for the course through television will be arranged for students officially en­ro lied in t he co urse a t the curren t tuition rate.

The Cambridge Extension Program has grown out of investi­gative discussions made several years ago by Mr. Robert Long, Director of Admissions at the Uni­versity. He worked closely with Mr. James Busick, former Superin­tendent of Dorchester County Public Schools. The Cambridge school followed an Ocean City Extension Program initiated last summer.

courses. In arriving at basic deci­sions with regard to the amount of emphasis to be placed on the various required subjects, consid­erations as to both amount and sequence were weighed. It was decided, for example, that every student in the School of Business must take a year of Accounting in his first year, and a year of Prin ­ciples of Economics in his second year.

Mr. Raymond Bender, Assis­tant Dean of the School of Busi­ness, was asked to do the research necessary to prepare a sample cur­riculum able to meet the require­ments set forth by the Curriculum Committee. It is apparent that Dean Bender's effort bore fruit, since the document is now (a year and one-half later) in full use. In general, faculty members and administrators are pleased to have a curriculum which not only meets the current needs of the School but which also has enough built-in flexibility to make it readily adaptable to the changing conditions of the future.

Coughlan Gifts Mounted

The faculty lounge of the new Academic Center has been graced with two handsome render­ings of the "Ark" and the "Dove," which brought the first colonists to Maryland. The water color and pen and ink reconstructions of Peter Egli are the gift of the late Robert E. Coughlan, the well­known Baltimore attorney whose interest in admiralty law led to his extensive activity as a collector of maritime art of the Chesapeake area. The reproductions of the larger merchantman, the "Ark," and of the tiny pinnace, the "Dove." are detailed and provide the following dimensions: the "Ark;" length - 125 feet, beam ­32 feet, draft - 15 feet, tons - 358, and the "Dove;" length - 49 feet.

Consistent with the upgraded quality of facilities, teaching, and student services, the University of Baltimore has also experienced a marked growth in counseling ser­vices. A modern and bright suite of offices has been built and furnished on the second floor of Charles Hall for the new Student Counseling and Guidance Center.

The increase in office space and counseling personnel has been accompanied by a significant growth in service to students. The University is now able to offer to all students and alumni a full range of counseling and psycho­logical services comparable to those in most American universi­ties. These services fall into eleven areas:

Individual counseling for per­sonal problems and college adjustment.

Counseling and advisement re­garding academic programs.

Guidance on how to study, follow lectures, and make use of time.

Remedial reading for speed and comprehension.

Assistance with selection of major and minor fields of study.

The two craft started togeth­er on Leonard Calvert's voyage departing from the Isle of Wight on November 22, 1633, but the "Dove." a slow sailer, became lost in a storm off Ireland, and did not rejoin the "Ark" until Barbadoes. They continued together to the end of the odyssey at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River, in March of 1644. The three hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary of the historic sailing was observed on November 22, 1971, by the Society of Colonial Wars with a dinner at the Mary­land Club. Judge William J. McWilliams was the speaker for the occasion.

Advanced placement and course waiver testing.

Vocational counseling and test­ing.

Personality and intelligence testing.

Crisis intervention. Graduate school information

and counseling. Tutoring services.

The college counselors staff­ing the new office are Mr. Harry A. Cole, B.A., M. Div.; Mr. S. Thomas Gross, B.A., M.s., A.G.s.; and Dr. Jerome Rubin, B.s., M. Ed., Ph.D.

Operating on a rotating basis, the staff is able to offer profes­sional counseling services to stu­dents on both a day and evening basis. The expanded evening ser­vice provides counseling office hours for the large number of students who are employed during the day and attend school at night.

The purpose of operating the Student Counseling and Guidance Services is to assist students with personal needs connected with their attendance at college. These needs cover a very wide range of problems from the minor to the serious and urgent. Each student,

Recreation Program

Within the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of Recrea­tion offers a program of profes­sional preparation for the student in the area of supervision and administration. Upon successful completion of this program the student will be awarded a Bache­lor of Science degree. The size of the Department assures the stu­dent personal attention as he pur­sues his individual program and offers him diverse philosophies from which to choose his elec­tives. The curriculum also offers opportunities to relate the theory of leisure-oriented activities to a practical application within the confines of a learning center at­tuned to the prob lems and de­velopments of a contemporary ur­ban setting.

This program was designed in such a manner that a graduate of a community college transfer recrea­tion program can enter the third­year schedule at the University of Baltimore without difficulty.

Poten tial students should be aware that professional career opportunities in the recreation field continue to out number the supply of four year college gradu­ates. Future employment and pro­fessional growth possibilities exist locally as well as within the state and throughout the nation.

The 1971 fall opening of the University of Baltimore Academic Center has provided an ideal loca­tion for the introduction of the recreation curriculum. In addition, the Mt. Washington campus is being used for a sports skill course, recreational activities and in ter-collegia te competition. Plans include additional utilization of this valuable 43 acre tract which is within easy traveling distance of our Charles Street campus. The third Floor of the Academic Cen­ter houses the indoor facilities to provide activity areas designed for multi-purpose use. Students, faculty and administrators have

Others have enjoyed spirited workouts in the weight-training room, a stimulating jog or a relax­ing moment in the suana.

The general area was prewired For T.V. and public address systems. Sepa­rate dressing and showering facili­ties were designed to accomodate the increasing enrollment of fe­male students.

A wide range of Audiovisual equipment is available to the in­structional program. The most recent acquisition, the Panosonic Video Tape machine provides instantaneous visual and sound reproduction of practical learning situations.

The recreational facilities are available for scheduled intramurals and free play and the hours are from 9:00 a.m . to 10:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday and Satur­day, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Some faculty members of the School of Law have started a promising program of activities on Wednesdays at noontime - Mon­day nights are scheduled from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for "B" Club members.

The outdoor cage is marked for tennis and badminton and will provide backstops for basketball. Recreational lacrosse will be the first activity to schedule a definite time slot for box lacrosse.

The Data Processing Center Alumni Gain Recognition

The Data Processing Center is one of the newest departments at the University. I t was officially formed on September 25, 1969, shortly before delivery of a leased IBM 1130 computer.

Although the 1130 computer was originally designed to be a sc ientific problem-solving ma­chine, the software (compu ter programs) and the hardware have been developed to make it a valua· ble tool in solving commercial problems. It is equipped with a 340 line per minute printer, a 400 card per minute card read/punch, and three disk drives which enable the University to have over 3 million characters of information "on line" at anyone time. A Disk Monitor System directs the in­ternal operations of the computer and allows it to process programs in FORTRAN IV, COBOL, RPG, and Assembler. Basic, APL, and a subset of PL/1 are also available.

Most of the departments of the University use the facilities of the Computer Center to aid them in their work. The Alumni Name­Address file is stored here, daily reports are prepared for the Trea­surer's Office, tests are marked for the instructors, student programs are processed, reports a re prepared for the Presi dent and the Deans, and mailing labels are prepared daily (over 300,000 were printed last year !)

The 1130 is used to keep track of each student. It stores his name, address, and other personal information along with all the courses that he is taking. This information is accessed a number of ti mes each semester to prod uce Federal and State statistics, lists, and reports for internal use, materials for registration, student schedules, and, of course, grade reports.

The Data Processing Center staff is working on several new projects. A payroll system is under development which will allow the

I t has been announced by President Turner that the H.A. B. Dunning Foundation has contri­buted $10,000 to the University of Baltimore in order to create the Dun ning Memorial Endowment Fund. The gift is to be used at the discretion of the President of the University to fund projects of value to the community.

University to store pay records and to print pay checks. Soon, computer-generated transcripts will be available. In fact, the file conversion has already started. This is a tremendous undertaking - if one tried to stack the IBM cards used in this file, they wo uld be taller than a seve n story build· ing! Other programs are being designed to help the Library keep trac k of its 750 periodical sub­scri ptions.

Students also use the Cen­ter's fa ci liti es. Tours are con­ducted for a number of classes each semester, and several student organizations and clubs use the computer for storing records and simulation business operations. Each day dozens of computer programs are processed for the students in the programming classes. Exte nded hours have been arranged for the evening students.

Other colleges around U. of B. are using our 11 30 during the "off hours". The income derived is used to purchase much needed equipment and to offset expenses. The Center is expanding. A Key­punch Room was recen tl y opened for the students to use and a second 1130 will be installed in the adjoining room. The new com­puter will be used mainly by students , and will be run by stu­dents . We think that this is an excit ing deve lopment, and we are looking forward to it.

The Center is staffed by a Director , James L. Smith, Jr., who coordinates its activities with other departments, an Administra· tive Assistant, Margaret H. Stupi, who serves as computer operator and programmer, two keypunch operators, Charlotte L. Crawford and Shirley S. Powers, and several part-time student employees. The Data Processing Center is located in Room 314, Charles Hall. If you are in the area and would like to see our facilities, please feel free to stop in .

School Of Law

Adds Faculty

The University of Baltimore Law School has added four new full-time faculty members to the exis ting full-tim e faculty of eight members. The new Professors are: Eugen e J. Davidson, A.B., J.D.; Herber t H. Bernha rdt, B.S., L LB. LL.M; Thomas J. Holton, A.B., LL.B., LL.M., J.5.D.; and Malcolm F. Steele, A.B., LL.B., J.S.D.

Two U. of B. graduates, hus­band and wife, have gained nation­al prominence in the journalism field. Mildred Hirsch graduated in 1939 with a B.B.A. degree and married Eric Arthur (formerly Arthur Weinberg) who received an LL. B. in 1937. Mildred grew up in Bel Air, Maryland, and entered the University of Baltimore after graduation from high school. Here she met Eric Arthur, then Direc tor of the Dramatic Club. In 1940 Eric moved to New York and two years later Mildred and Eric were married .

Eric then acted in and direc­ted various community thea tre productions and also appeared on radio network drama . This activity led to writing radio scripts includ­ing those for THE SHADOW, GANGBUSTERS, MR. KEENE, TRACER OF MISSING PER­SONS, COUNTERSPY, MOLLE MYSTERY THEATRE. In th e early 1950's when television came into being, Eric wrote for KRAFT TV THEATRE, ARMSTRON G CIRCLE THEATRE, KATE SMITH SHOW, KEN MURRAY SHOW and others. He then turned to documentary film writing for the government. During this time he also did some free lance writing and published a novel titled SARGASSO. Several of his short stories and articles have appeared in national magazines, including a reg u la r feature in STEREO QUARTERL Y.

Recently Eric and Mildred moved to Newport News, Virginia , where Eric is writing films for a government agency.

Mildred's career is just as noteworthy. After receiving her degree from the U. of B., she worked in the Social Service De· partment of a Philadelphia Hospi­tal and studied criminology at the University of Pennsylvania while Eric served in the army. After the war Mildred began to write seri­ously and sold her first story, "The Queen is Dead ," to ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE. For this story Mil· dred won a prize for the best first published story. Subsequently it was televised on NBe's "Ligh ts Out" se ries, and Eric did the TV adaptation. In addition to writing text book materials for a social studies series for Prentice Hall, Mildred wrote short stories which appeared in several ELLERY QUEEN MAGAZINES, IN· GENUE, DATEBOOK, THE IN­STRUCTOR, GRADE TEACHER, and other magazines.

Mildred writes that "before we moved to Newport News, our home in New Jersey resembled a small writing factory, with type­writers rattling away in various rooms. I was at work on a 'teen' book, Eric was in his office at the other end of the house paying the mortgage by writing documentary films, television scripts, short stories and articles." HOLI DA YS OF LEGEND, Mildred's first chil­dren's book , is scheduled for pub­Ii ca tion around the end of October.

Mildred and Eric have two teen-age daughters, both budding authors.

Volunteers Needed

Dr. Fred Hopkins, Dean of Admissions, is seeking assistance from alumni, particularly the grad­uates who reside in the southern, eastern, and western counties of Maryland . The University is in­vited to send representatives to "College Nights" which are sched­uled by schools throughout the state.

Dr. Hopkins will discuss the Uni­versity's offerings and opportuni­ties with alumni who are willing to attend "College Nights" upon re­quest. Expenses incurred in con­nection with a school visitation will be reimbursed.

Many al umni have repeatedly expressed their willingness to be of assistance to the University. Here is an opportuni ty to serve. Write to the Alumni Office at the University and volunteer.
