Campus Voices Opinions on Facilities' Pedestrian- Friendly Master Plan

H ousing and safety, not green spaces and growth, were chief concerns for several people attending last Thursday's town hall meeting on the Facilities Master Plan.

Representatives from Ayers Saint Gross, one of the consulting f m s worGng with Facilities Management on the design efforts for the 10-year plan, presented their ideas to nearly 50 faculty, staff and students gathered in an auditorium of the Biology-Psychology building. Attendees also heard from two other part- ners in the effort, Martin Alexiou Bryson and Bio- Habitats. The forum offered a chance for the campus community to offer their thoughts on the plan.

Adam Gross, who spoke on behalf of his firm, talked about the three layers, or areas of considera- tion, that guides the work: the environment, which includes sustainable growth and stewardship of the land; transportation, which takes parking and traffic into account; and community impact, which factors in how the university's growth affects the surround- ing area.

The location of new buildings will come naturally as those things are considered, he said.

Overall, attendees supported the idea of closing Ray Gillian, flanked by Teresa McCain of University Communications (I) and Angie Bass of the Office of Human off the campus center & and creating a shuttle- Relations (r), says farewell to friends and colleagues at a reception given by President J.D.

T here is a scene in the movie "Joy Luck Club" in which a mother, fleeing Japanese

troops during World War II, abandons her baby by the side of a road as she and many of her countrymen leave their villages. It is heart-wrenching to watch. The despair that led to her deci- sion is palpable.

Chuan Sheng Liu knows this pain well, because his family traveled that same road when he was 5 years old. His mother gave birth to his brother on a train during their three-month

While the movie's portrayal of that exodus is pow- erful, Liu says, it

does not capture the reality. "It was

much worse," he says, quietly. "That is why this is a peacemaking

center. We can't have

Liu is speaking of the Institute for Global Chinese I

Affairs, of which he has been named the new director and is one of its founders. Though the United

States and China were on the same

side during that war, Liu says he would like the institute to help prevent any country from ever going through such horror.

The official mission of the four-year-old institute includes four goals:

Foster a greater understand- ing in the United States of the Chinese-speaking world

Promote better Chinese- American relations by recogniz- ing different historical experi- ences and cultural values, emphasizing common interests in peace, prosperity and stabili- ty, and developing workable strategies to resolve and avoid conflicts

Assist in devising sustain- able development programs for Chiia

Provide superior education- al opportunities for students in Asian and Chinese studies and to assist in expandig and improving Chinese studies at the university.

For Liu, it is much simpler: the center should lead the way in improving relationships between the two powerful countries so that collaboration, not conflict, become common- place. The fact that Chinese- American relations are often

Rankings continued fmm

the ranks of the premier public policy institutions in the nation," said Susan Schwab, dean of Public Affairs. "The school's rank- ing at 19 out of 259 public affairs and administration programs nationwide is a remarkable accomplishment for a school that is only just celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding."

The College of Education moved into a tie for 22nd, up

nationally, and the three others have programs in the top 20 in U.S. News or other venues."

The Counseling and Personnel Services Department in Education remains number one nationally as it has for a number of years. Special Education ranked 10th in the nation for the second year in a row.

Other Maryland listings were: Engineering tied for 18, down

from 17 last year. The Clinical Psychology doc-

toral program is in a 14way tie from 23rd last year, while its Education Policy program jumped from 16th in 1999 to ninth this year.

"Our rise in the rankings to 22nd puts us in the company of the nation's premier colleges of education," said Education Dean Edna Mora Szymanski. "We are quite pleased with the addition of Education Policy among the top 10, which reflects some truly outstanding faculty members and a new chair, Kenneth Strike, who is a member of the National Academy of Education. It also means that three of our six departments rank in the top 10

tied for 24th with Johns Hopkins in Economics; tied for 54th with six others in Psychology; tied for third in Industrial/Organizational Psychology; tied for 24th in Sociology, with SUNY Albany, UCSB and Yale.

Although they are not newly updated rankings, the new edi- tion includes the previous rank- i n g ~ (2001) of 15th in Rehabilitation Counseling, tied with Arizona and East Carolina University; and 30th in Speech- Language Pathology, tied with 10 others.

New Online Courses Bring Safety Information to Your Desk

,hat began as a way to fix gaps in train- ing programs

for university employees who work with hazardous materials has blossomed into a comprehensive online edu- cation tool.

Maintained by the Depart-

training guide, which can be found through a link on the department's home page, is another way to see what programs are required, based on an employee's responsibilities.

"And they don't have to do the training all at one time. Because they log in,

Sister Maureen Schrimpe demonstrates the new Environmental Safety Web site, which she plans to use to train dining services employees.

ment of Environmental Safety, the site (www.inform. umd.edu/CampusInfo/ Departments/EnvirSafety/) features a new Supervisor Training Guide designed to make sure those working with everything from asbestos to food to radioac- tive materials know what to do, when and how. In the past, supervisors were not always trained in areas under their responsibility.

"There are two tracks [on the site], one for the labor force and one for research," said Donna McMahon, assis- tant director. "Where you go depends on how you answer the questions."

After visitors log in using ARES, UMNEG, SIS, or MARS login information, a series of questions guides the user to the appropriate training. A

they a n come back and pick up where they left off," said McMahon, adding that the longest a component will take to complete is approximately 45 minutes.

"Also, it automatically notifies you of changes to the material since your last visit."

McMahon stressed that although many courses are offered online, her depart- ment will still hold some in a classroom. Also, if it is easi- er for a division to have someone from environmen- tal safety come to their area on, say, the third shift, it can be done.

"However, more research universities are going to Web-based training, because it is cost effective and peo- ple can take it when it's con- venient to them: said

ing," said Sister Maureen Schrimpe, quality coordina- tor with dining services."We can do this in smaller units."

Environmental safety also provides materials and class- room training in Spanish. Sister Schrimpe plans to take some of her employees through the chemical hygiene program, among others.

"They [Environmental Safety] have really broken it down well. They've done a great job: she said.

This is just what McMa- hon and her boss, director Leon Igras, want to hear.

"We think we have one of the most comprehensive programs in the country," Igras said. "We've worked on it off and on for nine months. It takes a lot of input from a lot of people."

Panagariya continued from page 1

Panagariya also hopes to spearhead a comparative study of larger provinces in China, India and other coun- tries in Asia to find out what prospering provinces are doing differently from those that are lagging. Some of the research projects that he hopes to begin will focus on labor markets, trade and poverty reduction.

From 1989 to 1993 Pana- gariya mrked'as a research economist with the World Bank. He has also worked with the International Monerary Fund and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

He is considered one of the foremost experts on interna- tional trade and has written extensively on governmental trade policy.

Panagariya will begin his three-year appointment this month, though he will con- tinue to teach next fall as he wraps up his university affairs. He will then move his family to Manila. But he will remain in contact with the university to work with his doctoral stu- dents. After his term is up he plans to come back to the university. "In the end I am an acade-

mician," he said. Already well known in

India as a columnist for the daiiy Economic Times, Panagariya hopes to continue writing for the paper while he works for the ADB. "I will have to write less critically [about Asian economic devel- opment]: he said, "and write more about actual progress and success we have had."
