Karen Stromme never dreamed of coaching basket-ball . Not at UMD, and certainly not by the time she was 24 years old.

But for the Duluth native, now 25, her decision to jump at the offer to coach at UMD was the beginning of what Stromme hopes will someday lead to a Division 1 coaching job.

"I was working in Duluth and Linda (Larson) approached me and asked me whether or not I'd be interested in the assistant coaching job in 1983. I remember thinking, 'Why not?"'

Stromme guided the 1983-84 junior varsity team to a perfect 12 0 mark despite being just a few years older than some of her players.

"At first I was worried that there was such proximity in age;' recalled Stromme. "But age difference isn't much of a factor if you present yourself as a coach and don't give the players a choice in practice. You just have to exert some authority and win their respect and conduct yourself in a professional manner on the floor. I never really had any problems with that. Ever."

During her initial coaching campaign, Stromme discovered something that she really always knew. She loved basketball .

"I had a great year;• said Stromme. "I learned a lot and I had fun . That was the most important thing, I just loved it. I looked forward to coming to practice every day, and I enjoyed the age group I was working with."

More than a basketball coach in 1983, Larson was asked to assume full -time adminis-trative duties as Women's Coordinator of Athletics. Larson resigned as head women's basketball coach following the 1983-84 season, and Stromme applied for the open position.

"I could have said, 'Geez, this is too much pressure . I'm not going to be able to handle this . What if I lose? What if I do this?"' recalled Stromme. "At that point, though, I guess my first impression was just 'Go for it.' I knew a chance like this wasn't going to come along again in my lifetime ."

Stromme was named the Bulldogs' third women's head coach that October, and during the next five months coached her 20-member squad to a share of UMD's first Northern Sun Conference championship.

The age difference could have been a factor in her debut as head coach, but Stromme refused to acknowledge it.

Bulldog football Coach Jim Malosky and his family. Ever since she was three years old, the daughter of Graydon, "Soup," and Mickey Stromme has been around UMD and its athletic program. Her dad was also a very successful basketball and baseball coach at Morgan Park for 35 years.

As a high school athlete at Duluth Central, Stromme participated in swimming, basketball, track, golf, and badminton . She was class valedictorian and was named Central's Most Valuable Senior Athlete in 1978.

St~mme went on to a brilliant four-year basketball career at the College of St. Olaf in Northfield, Minn . She earned a spot on the All-MAIAW Tournament team for four straight years in addition to being selected to the All AIAW Region 6 honor group in 1981-82. Stromme also lettered in golf and earned a bachelor of art degree in sociology and American studies while making the Dean's list all eight semesters.

Following graduation, Stromme decided to return to Duluth, a place she says she's always been in love with.

"I don't think there's another thing in the world like Lake Superior," Stromme

''A lot of people were expecting me to be bumbling, treading lightly on thin ice," Stromme said. "But after we got into the game, coaches want to win. It didn't matter how old I was. What mattered was how our team was, and if their team was going to beat ours.

said. "I enjoy so many things about Duluth; at some point in my life maybe I'll consider moving to a big city, but right now I don't know of anything that outweighs the enjoyment I can have by living in Duluth."

Karen Stromme is entering her second year as head coach of the UMD Women's Basketball Team.

"I guess it never really got to me personally. Other coaches were very respectful and professional. I presented myself as a coach and really didn't give them a chance to perceive any other thing."

According to Stromme, the cycle of athletics was completed when she became a coach. She grew up just three houses away from

Stromme loves the outdoors and spends a lot of time hiking and canoeing in the BWCA. She also enjoys collecting antiques, buying original artwork, and traveling.

Duluth is something

Stromme doesn't seem to have trouble selling to prospective athletes. Prior to this season, she persuaded seven of the most talented basketball players in the region to attend UMD.

Headlining the list of prospects is Denise Holm, a local athlete who graduated from Duluth East High School and was selected Miss Minnesota in basketball as a senior last year, and Sue Anderson, a Miss Minnesota finalist and three-sport standout at Duluth Denfeld High School.

"Every coach has his/ her own philosophy about recruiting," Stromme said. "I really feel you're more than just a basketball player when you come to UMD and play on this team with me. You've got to have great basketball skills and a real love for the game, and you've also got to want to -work toward improving yourself in a lot of ways.

professional basketball league, so this is it."

Stromme believes that playing on athletic teams is an integral part of an education, and she enjoys the fact that as a coach, her responsibilities go beyond time logged in the gym.

"I like the fact that I can be not friends, but friendly, with the players and that they can feel comfortable coming to me and that I can be more a part of their education," she said.

"There are so many transferable skills from athletics to the real world . Things like discipline and competition are real important. I try to relate those to something that might help the players in later life. What better way to learn about those things than through athletics?"

Stromme said if she could get one thing across to her players, it would be to take things one day at a time and be persistent. She says that hard work and dedication will get you what you want.

She should know. At 25, Karen Stromme is not much older than the players she coaches as head women's basketball coach. She says the small age difference hasn't been

Henry R. Brick is the kind of character people love to hate. Henry's loud, obnoxious, pushy - and one of the hottest things to ever hit Duluth's airwaves.

Henry, who is played by former UMD theatre student Tom Price, was created last spring by Duluth's KBJR-lV Channel 6 to keep residents up to date on the Superior Street bricking project - and to keep them shopping downtown.

"KBJR-lV was trying to figure out a way to not let the seeds of negativism get started over the bricking inconvenience," according to Ina Myles. Myles, who is also a former UMD student, is an account executive at Westmoreland Larson & Hill , the Duluth advertising agency which worked with KBJR-lV in designing the campaign .

"We wanted to keep people shopping downtown so the merchants wouldn't be the victims:• she said. "The ultimate point was that once the street was bricked, people would love it."

And while no one knows for sure just how many people love the bricks, Henry's been a hit. The stout fellow with his red hardhat, black horn rim glasses, bowtie, and bib overalls has starred in over 40 commercials.

"We had worked with Tom, who is an amazing talent," Myles said. "He auditioned for another concept, his audition was good, and we felt he would be perfect. He became Henry Brick."

Henry's become a local celebrity and media darling. At a "brick signing" to celebrate completion of a portion of the bricking project, over 2,000 bricks were given away, with people of all ages lining up to shake Henry's hand. On Halloween, several Henry Brick clones roamed Duluth. And downtown merchants said the 17-week summer promotion revolving around Henry was the best they've ever seen .

While Myles and Steve Rich, program director at KBJR-lV, created Henry, it was Price who shaped the character. When the commercials were taped, the trio and a camera crew went out armed with ideas but no script.

"Henry's a spontaneous creation," Price said. "From an actor's point of view, you couldn't get better experience than letting me go on . . . it's camera time. I can't put a

TOM PRICE Thel.Jniversityof.Minnesota-Duluth·Bridge Page3

Wowing 'em as Henry Brick price on it."

Price, 33, had no formal acting training when he came to Duluth a few years ago to do some trout fishing . "I spent one summer here and stayed," he said.

One day while Price was working as a bartender and waiter, a customer told him he should read for a part at the Duluth Playhouse. He took that advice, eventually landing roles as Hap in "Death of a Salesman" and Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

To bolster his training, the South Bend, Ind. , native and Vietnam vet took advantage of his veteran's administration benefits by taking acting classes at UMD. "I loved UMD," he said. "It was a pivotal part of my career choice. UMD has an excellent theatre department."

While Price was going to UMD, he began doing commercials for local television stations. A little over a year ago, Price left UMD and concentrated full-time on his acting career, which often meant commuting to the Twin Cities to bolster his commercial work. And when Henry's popularity made it virtually impossible for Price to portray any other characters in the Duluth market, he moved to Minneapolis.

"I really had no idea that people would love Henry so much ," Price said . "I

never had any expectations. It still surprises me when the merchants are crediting Henry Brick with such an impact ."

Due to Henry's remarkable success, the downtown merchants have persuaded the locally owned KBJR-lV to keep Henry alive through Christmas. In the summer commercials, Henry's main job was to keep people advised on the bricking progress. Which created a dilemma. What would Henry do in the winter?

A transitional commercial was aired in November, showing Henry having a hard time finding a job. Enter Duluth Mayor John Fedo, who gave Henry a mythical job under the Duluth Job Training program - sweeping debris off the bricks, especially after the new horse-drawn carriages shuttle tourists down Superior Street.

Price would ultimately like to get back into the theatre, but he's happy portraying Henry. "I'm an actor . . . I want to act," he said. "My favorite thing is serious roles."

Despite Price's current Minneapolis address, his heart is in the Northland. "I love this town. I never would have known that acting is what I'm supposed to be doing unless I came to Duluth," he said. "This is where life began."

FRED E.H . . SCHROEDER Page4 ThelJniversityof.Minnesota-Duluth-Bridge

Helpi~g brighten the future of humanities by Shah/a Rahman

''Teachers of humanities never promise anything except curiosity and delight in the things that are human ." And Fred E.H. Schroeder says that following a decade or so of decline, he is happy to see that the future once again looks bright for the humanities

Schroeder is professor of humanities at UMD, and editor of Humanities Education, published by the National Association for Humanities Education (NAHE).

Schroeder's involvement with the magazine began in 1978, when he became president elect of the NAHE, an almost bankrupt organi-zation which had experienced a tremendous loss in membership .

"I was kind of left holding the bag," explains Schroeder. "We considered whether or not to disband, but decided against it, since we were the only national organization dealing with the inter-disciplinary teaching of the humanities at all levels .

"Instead we decided to put together a publication that would be extremely useful to humanities educators." With that, Schroeder was asked to chair the NAHE's publications committee and design a format for the magazine .

The magazine was more than a year in the planning stages, but finally became a reality in January '84, with Schroeder as editor-in-chief. "We had a lot of help in designing the magazine," Schroeder says, "especially from Leila Marshall (UMD Print Shop manager) ."

The loose-leaf magazine, he says, is designed so that readers can pull out pages of special interest to them, and route the rest to others. The magazine features original articles, a regular feature on translations of works from other languages, a popular column on copyright issues in teaching, and a series of abstracts written by Schroeder.

The editor-in-chief says putting together the magazine is time consuming and sometimes difficult to do, but admits "it is a lot of fun trying to see what you can build up ."

In the seven years he has been active in the NAHE, he says he has also been gratified to see membership in the organization rise from a low of 50 members to its current level of approximately 350

Fred E.H. Schroeder, humanitia profa90r at UMD, eays the future once again looks bright for the humanitiee. He added that thing• are changing ae educator• and employen realize the value of the humanit.ie• in providing a well-rounded educa-tion and penpective.

He noted that the rise in interest in the NAHE has occurred concurrently with an increase in the humanities in general.

The 1960s and '70s saw what Schroeder calls "a lot of flaky humanities." He explained that the "flower people" and others who were advocating an alternative lifestyle may have been humanitarian, but that they did not draw on the heritage of letters and arts and history .

By the mid-1970s there was a "back to basics" trend , explained Schroeder. However, he added, the emphasis was on mechanical basics instead of human basics.

"In the nation's high

schools we saw humanities teachers becoming spelling teachers , and at the college level there was a tremendous vocational orientation ," Schroeder said .

But, he added, things. are changing as educators and employers realize the value of the humanities in providing a well-rounded education and perspective. Schroeder points out there are a number of studies and articles showing how the humanities can be of benefit in such varied areas as medicine, engineering, law, and business schools.

"The humanities are concerned with human values. It has to do with what your life is after you are done with your high-tech job. It

teaches you how to reflect about yourself and your world in a context immensely larger than the daily news."

Schroeder's own curiosity about his world has led him to explore areas from the mundane to the sublime.

He authored a leaflet on how to interpret historical artifacts like a stove, or an article of luggage- examining how the item was made, used, its design, and how it compares with items from other cultures. That article entitled "Seven Ways to Read an Artifact" has now become a best seller through the American Association for State and Local History.

In _the same vein , he is currently embarking on a

project to write another technical leaflet interpreting historical sites.

This summer, he will for the second consecutive year teach a class on "Detective Mysteries in England" at the University of Birmingham in England . The popular class examines how landscape and setting are used in English mysteries, and takes students on field trips to Sherlock Holmes' London , and stately homes, parish churches, and other places that were actually the sites of some of the novels .

"The atmosphere is almost like an extra character in a novel," Schroeder points out. And although this is not unique to English mysteries , he admits it would be difficult to do the same thing in the U.S . "It just is not the same thing when you are flying around from Denver to Boston , to New York to San Francisco ."

Like many other Ameri-cans, Schroeder also is drawn to another "literary" institution - the National Enquirer, and authored an article on its popularity for a book on popular culture. "That tabloid has the largest circulation in America , and I figured that there had to be something good in it," he explained.

"The Enquirer draws people by its outrageous headlines, but it also offers hope and common sense advice to people who are poor, ignorant, --end victimized by social and educational institutions," Schroeder says. "Actually, the trick is to get past that front page ."

Schroeder, who is also the president of the American Culture Association, says he is currently working with other faculty members at UMD in trying to develop an interdisciplinary Center for American Studies on campus. The center, he said , would assist students in planning interdisciplinary majors in American Studies, and also sponsor events such as faculty conferences.

As Schroeder points out: "We are concerned about the same things that the social sciences are, but (in the humanities) It is gift wrapped and you get to keep the ribbon . You can throw away a political science text from 10 years ago, but the human politics of Shakespeare and Plato do not grow old . Instead they refresh each new generation ."

ROGER FISCHER ThelJniversityof-Minnesota-Duluth-Bridge

Proving elections used to be fun

by Tracy Kaufenberg

A century ago , national politics was a much more exciting, emotional part of the lives of the American people .

Even though government really didn't touch their daily lives in the way that it does today, political identity was very important, according to UMD history Professor Roger Fischer. And wearing large, flamboyant campaign ribbons promoting a candidate was a popular way of expressing that commitment.

Fischer, along with Edmund Sullivan of the University of Hartford , has recently written American Political Ribbons and Ribbon Bad es 1825-1~ -

The encyclopedia contains nearly 2,600 ribbons and 1,300 illustrations of American political campaign, inaugural, memorial, and commemorative ribbons from Jackson through Reagan .

Fischer estimates that so far they have catalogued only a fraction of the great variety of

ribbons and badges from throughout the country .

The four-year project began when Fischer and Sullivan realized that political ribbons and badges had played an influential role in early campaigns, but had been completely ignored by historians and political scientists .

"Ribbons provided an opportunity for people to express themselves politically," he said .

People were hungry for information about their political candidates merely for identification. Therefore, wearing a ribbon provided an opportunity for a person to make a statement about their candidate, Fischer said .

"They (the voters) wanted it known who their candidate was. It really mattered to these people, especially if they were rural or immigrants living in an ethnic neighborhood ," he said . "This was one of the ways to celebrate who you were as a human being. Being an

UMD hi torian Roger Fischer ha• catalogued In hi book nearly 2,600 ribbon• and 1,300 llluatration of American political campaign• from .lacbon through Reagan. This ribbon waa uaed daring the 1896 Repub-lican National Convention, which waa held In St. Louis.

Italian-American or a Catholic mattered, but being a Democrat or a Republican was also terribly important to a person 's identity . It really mattered to you , personally , who won .

"A ribbon could be as much as a foot long and four inches wide and it could have as much printing or design on it as you would want to put there," Fischer said .

He added that you could get ribbons printed very quickly because they didn't require the elaborate presses, stamps, or dies that are needed for metal or buttons.

One hundred years ago, voters did not feel the way they do today, Fischer said .

Voters often went to bed not knowing who had been

elected "They clearly didn't have Dan Rathers or Tom Brokaws staying up half the night to tell them who had been elected ," Fisher said .

"We didn't have these obscene exit polls telling us by 10: 15 in the morning who was going to win what state by what percentage. Ballot results were made public only after all the votes had been counted ."

Fischer said once the ballots were counted by hand , usually the first results were obtained from small precincts by 4 or 5 a .m. "If you were in a national campaign headquarters , you would get them (the results) by telegraph and the newpapers might carry the story for a week or more as to who had

Pag 5

carried fhat state ," he said . "The electronic media of

today has made the political ribbons virtually nonexistent and a politically unimportant way to impact voters," he said . "Ribbons died partly because we went to buttons and stickers that were simply more economical and easier to produce and because today we get our politics from television .

"The voter of today tends to be self conscious. He or she might wear a very small button, but wouldn't wear it to church , class, or to the post office. You'd feel very self conscious because you'd be a walking billboard ."

NON-TRADITIONJ\L STUDENTS Page 6 ThelJniversityof.l\finnesota·Duluth·Bridge

Older students here to stay They don't fit the mold.

Some have full-time jobs, some have families. Others have both. They're non-traditional students, and

Karen Helkel

they're here to stay. Average college freshmen

are perceived as being 18, fresh out of high school, living on campus, and getting care packages from their parents. That image is quickly changing at campuses across the country, including UMD, where 25 percent of the day students are now over the age of 25

"A non-traditional student is someone for whom school is not the number one focus in their life," according to Karen Heike!, a UMD counselor.

Heike! began working last fall with non-traditional students in addition to heading UMD's Upward Bound program. Her own experience as a 32-year-old working parent enrolled in UMD's evening master of business administration program has also made her particularly aware of the

problems older than average students may encounter.

"They don't know what to expect and want to know what college is really like;' Heike! said. "They're concerned about how they're going to fit in."

Heike! is also counseling students who attend classes at night through Continuing Education and Extension, where the average student is 30 years old.

Mark Anderson also works part time at UMD with a large gr.cup of non-traditional students - around 190 veterans. As a Vietnam veteran and fulltime UMD student, Anderson knows what kinds of problems other veterans might face.

While many vets are concerned about finances, the number one problem Anderson has seen revolves around an older student with

a managerial or military leadership background having a hard time accepting an instructor's word as law.

"Some people have trouble dealing with that," he said. "We tell them to see us and blow off some steam:•

Anderson and Heike! agree that most non-traditional · students know what they want when they come to UMD.

"Returning students are more goal-oriented, directed, and sure of what they want," Heike! said. "They know they want to be serious."

Some students come to UMD to make themselves more employable or to complete a program, while others are returning to keep pace with technological advances.

Corrine Peterson, of the UMD Student Support Services Staff, has also been instrumental in organizing a campus group for non-traditional students. Peterson, who is also a non-traditional student, is a resource person for new and currently enrolled non-traditional students. So far around 50 students are involved in the group, with the number expected to jump once more students become aware that it exists.

Heike! and Anderson, 31, also both enjoy working with older students.

"I can relate to them as an older student," Heike! said. "I can understand what they're going through and because of my experience working at the university, I know what resources are available."

Glad she took a chance Three years ago, Laurene

Longsyo took a chance by quitting her job to attend UMD full time.

Today, she's glad she did. "I always intended to go back when my kids grew up," l..ongsyo said. "Now l have time to start an entirely new career."

Longsyo, 42, graduated Fall Quarter with a double major in psychology and anthro-pology. She eventually plans to work in rehabilitative counseling either in the Duluth-Superior area or the Twin Cities.

A Cloquet native, Longsyo worked for 16 years at the Potlatch Corp. After her two sons graduated from hJgh school, Longsyo decided to make some changes in her life . "Things just came together for me," she said. "I knew I didn't want to be a

clerk in the boiler room for the next 30 years."

Longsyo had taken night classes at UMD off and on for six years before she became a full-time student in 1982.

"People should remember that changing jobs is no big deal," she said. " I like studying, I like the UMD atmosphere, especially after I've been working for several years. Young people have a hard time appreciating college."

And with the average age of students rising, Longsyo didn't feel out of place. "It's not unusual lo find three older students in a class," she said.

Longsyo said that after she made up her mind to tackle day school full time she easily adjusted to campus life. "People in my age group know more about what they want," she said.

"I really feel good about UMD;' she said. "You can get such a quality education. here."

While Longsyo said it's natural for an older student to be apprehensive, she advises potential students not to worry too much "It's even possible to overcome math anxiety," she said. " If I could take statistics, anybody can"

Longsyo's proud of the grades she has received. "But if I get a C, the world won't end," she said.

She also took advantage of the UMD Study-in England program by spending last spring quarter al the University of Birmingham with around 50 other UMD students. "Everybody should try that," she said. "I never lived in a large city, but it was no strain at all. It was a great experience, and sometimes I think about going back."

Laid-off sailor changes career

Earning degree at night worth extra effort

Twenty years ago, Dick Robertson was put on probation at UMD due to a dismal grade point average of .87.

Today, the UMD junior has made up most of his early poor grades, so far boosting his GPA to 3.17.

Robertson started at UMD in 1965, and dropped out a year later. "I didn't apply myself and wasn't a good student," he said. "I shouldn't have come to UMD."

After three years in the Army, the Vietnam vet began working as a sailor on U.S. Steel ore boats before returning to UMD. "I came back to UMD in 1971," he said. "But I didn't do well, I just didn't fit In."

Robertson dropped out again and worked his way up to third mate over 15 years, unUI the economic slump and union woes forced U.S. Steel to lay him off in 1981 at the age of 34.

For two years, Robertson was a househusband. "I was expecting to go back on the boats," he said.

But when it rooked like he might be laid off indefinitely, Robertson thought once again about going back to school. "I realized I had to do something with my life," he

said. "It was hard to sit around for two years. l had no self worth."

Robertson returned to UMD two years ago, where he's now a junior majoring in urban and regional studies.

"I'm sure just going to school will help me land a job," he said. "I don't want to leave Duluth . . . and throw away my wife's 20 years of seniority with St. Louis County."

Robertson also knew that he might not be able to work on the boats forever. He learned In 1973 that he had multiple sclerosis, which often made it difficult for him to work as a sailor.

"When I found out I had MS, I figured this was what life was like;• he said. "Life had been so up and down.

"It's been a good remission since I got off the ore boats. Stress is hard for people with MS. It really bothered me when sailing. I still could gel called back . . . but now it would be a tough decision. If I'm called back, I'd probably go for a short period to make some money."

Robertson is attending school under a veteran's administration program for disabled vets. But getting the financial help wasn't that easy.

Dick Robertson has been working toward his degree at UMD since be was laid off from. U.S. Steel'• ore boats.

" I went to see a VA doctor, and the only thing they would let me register for was secretarial school," he said.

But Robertson was determioed to go to UMD. "At that time I lacked communication skills and couldn't talk to the man," he said. "I knew what he was saying was nonsense."

With the help of a neighbor, Robertson wrote to the VA and convinced them to let him get another

exam, which was necessary before he could receive any veteran's benefits. "Then I immediately got to go to school;' he said.

To boost his communication skills, Robertson took advantage of the Supportive Services offered at UMD in study and writing skills, eventually working as a teaching assistant. "It builds up self-esteem," he said. "It really helped me a lot. The supportive services program is

tops. I was most worried about writing, and I found out I can write really well.''

Robertson is also a MS resource person in the Duluth area, where he has gone out and spoken to groups including school children.

"Through determination, I'm making it quite nicely. I know I can make it," he said. "I've seen what life's all about. Most classes I can relate to my life."

Rollin Martini's not quite sure what he'll do with all his extra time now that he has graduated from UMD with a bachelor of business administration degree.

But odds are good he'll spend time at his often-neglected hobbies of hunting and fishing. Martini, 41, started night classes offered by Continuing Education and Extension through the School of Business and Economics in the winter of 1976, and he's been going ever since.

When the fall graduate got out of the Army 20 years ago, he went to work at the Potlach Corp. mill in Cloquet. From the mill, Martini worked In the finishing and cost departments, working his way up to supervisor of the paper mill's general accounting department, a position he's held for four years.

"When I was promoted to the accounting department, I thought I should get some background," he said. "I decided to try night classes, and started making getting a degree my own objective."

That was almost 10 years ago. And Martini said the long nights of driving to UMD after an often 10-hour day at work and returning to his home outside of Cloquet was definitely worth it.

"It's long and hard, but it's worth it,'' he said. ''You're learning all the time, and it opens you up to that many

more job markets. It's an excellent department ... enjoyable as well as hard."

While getting his degree was Martini's personal goal, he also had the support of Potlatch, which offers a tuition-refund program. Martini's longterm goal is to become a controller for Potlatch. and he plans to return to UMD in a year and work at night toward his master of business administration degree, which ls offered through the University of Minnesota Graduate School.

"It's been extremely tough," he said. "You've got to be dedicated to motivate yourself:'

He said the UMD School of Business and Economics monUors students' progress, and awards junior and senior certificates plus an associate of arts degree within the first two years. After that, students work toward the BBA. "It's nice to get some kind of rewards," he said.

Going back to school 15 years after he graduated from high school wasn't easy, Martini said. "It was very shaky at first:• he said. But he eased back into the routine, taking first one night class a week before settling into a routine of two classes a quarter.

"I couldn't do much more," Martini said. Besides spending two nights a week at UMO

Rollin Martial graduated laat fall from UMD afta attending nJgbt classes for almost 10 years. The puslatent Cloquet resident plans on returning to UMD next ye ar to work toward his maater of business administration degree.

during the school year, Martini averages 50 hours a week at work, with a minimum of one weekend a month. "On the weekends. I usually have my nose in the books. And my grades are much better than when I was in high school," he said.

"At first I Felt self conscious when I realized that I was

older than some instructors," Martini ~id. "But after a while it doesn't matter. And it also helped that I was working in the field and could apply what I learned in everyday practice."

Perseverence is the key lo getting a degree, Martini said. "If you stop going, it's difficult to go back," he said. "Don't

give up. One quarter could be bad, but don't get away from your goal."

Martini said his schoolwork has naturally placed a strain on his wife and two daughters, but quickly added that he never would have graduated without their help. "I wouldn't do it if I didn't get their support," he said.

INTERACTIVE VIDEODISCS

by Shah/a Rahman

The next wave of technology, which educators are describing "as important as the book," is now in use at UMD.

With a gift of $380,000 in equipment from the Digital Electronic Corporation, the College of Education and Human Service Professions (CEHSP) is embarking on an ambitious project to introduce faculty and students to learning and interacting with a computer videodisc.

Thel.Jniversityof.Minnesota-Duluth-Bridge

UMD rides wave of the future At UMD, Bright said,

videodiscs will be used with microcomputers, programmed to control the retrieval of stored information via a keyboard , touchpad, or voice trigger.

The addition of a controller, Bright noted, enables the system to become interactive.

"The technological coupling of the videodisc player, the microcomputer, and a standard color television for display, can create a powerful educational system," Bright said.

The videodisc is a 12-inch brass disc on which a variety of information can be stored in many different forms. A single disc can store motion pictures and stereo sound (for which most commercial videodiscs are used), as well as computer animation, slides, diagrams, and digitalized audio and binary data.

Once stored, the information from any portion of the disc can be rapidly recalled and displayed with laser technology.

Bright explained that on one disc, a person can be introduced to a particular subject area through a carefully sequenced combination of text, slides, motion pictures, and sound. At appropriate points, verbal questions from a filmed prompter can be used to determine whether or not the information is being understood.

Based on the response of the user, the system can then provide more information, or move to another portion of the disc to further clarify the information already presented .

Larry Bright, dean of the UMD College of Education and Human Service Profes-sions, is excited about the use of Interactive videodiscs within his college and at UMD.

"The storage of massive quantities of information that can be retrieved randomly and nearly instantaneously has exciting potential for education in general, and health education specifically," explained CEHSP Dean Larry Bright.

Through CEHSP's Center for Advancement of Learning Technology, Bright said he hopes to use the interactive videodisc system in four broad areas-in the development of

a human services and technology core curriculum, to provide a laboratory to facilitate the use of technology geared to human service profesions, to develop programs for teaching faculty to better serve students, and to structure programs to promote the integration of

human service professions into units committed to the advancement of learning technologies.

Bright added that he hopes to have 90 percent of his school's faculty participate in in-service training in the "new technology."

"It is clear to me that

interactive videodiscs have the potential to influence a change in the way that education is delivered, and I am very excited about it's use both in this college (CEHSP) and UMD," Bright said.

A look into the classroon1 of ton1orro"1

The UMD College of Education and Human Service Professions is leading the way into a new generation of education with the interactive videodisc system. The videodisc can be programmed for several levels of user experience or for several responses from the user.

by Darryl Sczepanski

Have you ever talked to your television set? I have. But until I worked with an interactive videodisc system, my television had never talked back.

It has taken months and months of tedious work for a group of faculty members in the College of Education and Human Service Professions to design and program a demonstration videodisc. Led by Eugene Grossman, who directs the College's Center for the Advancement of Learning Technology, the group produced a videodisc that "interacts" with the user.

Other faculty members working on the project include Iver Bogen, Helen Carlson, Dennis Falk, John Keener, Alvin Ollenberger, and Ve:in Simula.

You enter into a counseling situation as a new or experienced counselor. After viewing a vocal confrontation between a husband and wife, you select your response to their situation. They react to your response and the instructor follows with his

comments. The videodisc can be

programmed for several levels of user "experience" or for several responses from the user. The subjects on the videodisc and the instructor can react in different ways, depending on the actions of the user.

You can back up and view a segment again , or you can select another answer and see how the subjects reacted to a different situation . You com-municate with the instructor by touching the keyboard or screen, or eventually by voice commands.

The demonstration videodisc is only the beginning of the project and many "bugs" remain to be worked out. Interactive videodiscs, however, are a look into the future of education . Their potential is limitless and the College of Education and Human Service Professions is leading the way into a new generation of education.

Love for trump.et led to first brass quintet by Lucy Kragness

When David Cran was growing up in Duluth , he shared the dream of thous-ands of young boys- he wanted to be in the major leagues .

"I really wanted to be a baseball player, " he said . "But I was a really good trumpet player . . . I got good feedback ." And over 20 years later Cran continues to get "good feedback" as a trumpet player with the Annapolis Brass Quintet.

Cran formed America's first full -time brass ensemble almost 15 years ago while a member of the Naval Academy Band . "We're trying to make a contribution to the American artform by commissioning and performing the music of American composers ."

He graduated from UMD in 1965 with a bachelor of science degree in music education and speech and directed the band at Denfeld High School for two year

"I would have been drafted

. . . they started taking teachers ," he said "I thought I should try and perform with the service bands I audi-tioned as a civilian for the

aval Academy Band and worked as a musician for four years ."

After he left the Naval Academy Band, Cran spent a year with the North Carolina symphony before devoting his energy full time to the quintet.

"We settled as a quintet by accident ," he said . "As a profession, I enioyed playing the trumpet. I had no lofty goals when I started the quintet The quintet was originally formed because it was fun .

"I was less concerned about how much money I was going to make . . . I wanted to do something in music ," he said

At first , the ensemble stayed close to its Maryland home . "Starting in 1971 , we began performing a great deal of educational work in the DC and Baltimore area ," he said

The quintet took its first extended tour of the U.S . in 1972, and since then has visited virtually every state and 20 countries since its initial European tour in 1975 Today the quintet performs 150 concerts a year in addition to presenting concert eries in the Baltimore area

and taking a yearly tour of Europe .

Over the years , the popularity of brass music has grown The quintet has recorded 10 albums of music for brass , including several works by American composers that have never been recorded . "We're performing Western culture ," he said .

Being a member of the quintet is no 9 to 5 Job "It's a 24-hour Job ," he said . "I practice on my own three hours a day , practice with the quintet for five hours a day , plus I do a lot of adminis-tration work."

Cran's not sure how long he'll play the trumpet, but he envisions a life-time involvement with the

Annapolis Brass Quintet or another quintet "I'll continue to perform until I lose my lip ," he said . "I'm like an athlete I won't be able to do this until I'm 70."

Cran and his quintet performed before a full house last October at UMD, where Cran says the music faculty members encouraged him to do what he does b st.

"When you're from the

Midwest and envision a career m ew York, you think you can't compete, " he said "You generally don't have to tell people how to succeed If they're really good at something. they'll fmd a way to do it You have to want to do it badly ."

David Cran formed the Annapoli Brass Quintet. America's first full-time brass ensemble, almost 15 year ago while a member of the Na-

val Academy Band. The trumpet player's work with the quintet has taken him around the globe.
