Concert to f ea tu re guitar great Tai Farlow

Legendary jazz guitarist Tai Farlow will present an evening of jazz at 8 p.m. Monday (Jan. 25) in Btyan Recital Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center.

Called the '"reigning dean of jazz guitarists." Farlow is considered a pioneer. In 1 941 . after hearing a record of Charlie Ctvistian playing electric guitar, Farlow built an electric instrument for himself by driling two holes in an old acoustic guitar and installing radio earphones and a hookup to a $20 Sears Roebuck amplifier. Farlow, who has never had any musical training, was 20 when he built his guitar to the amazement of his neighbors in Greensboro,N.C.

In 1948, Farlow began playing in New YorX with the Marjorie Hyman Trio. He joined the Buddy deFranco Sextet tt)e next yeat and then played with a trio headed by Red Norvo, a vibraphonist.

Two years ago, he joined forces with John Scofield, John Abercrombie, Larry Carlton and Larry CoryeD at the Wdtern Theater in Los Angeles to tape a concert special for release on home video.

Tickets for Farlow's Bowling Green performance are $4 each at the door.

He also is sclleduled to give a master class and lecture that day on campus.

Fire saf ety __ from __ pa_g_e_1-_

building, the alarm and fire could go undetected.

"This has always been a worry to me especially during breaks and summer when a lot of the buildings are empty." Cook said. "It would be nice to have a central system that was located in the dispatcher's office where a board would light up to indicate a ringing fire alarm."

But for now each building has to count on its own alarms and detectors. And regardless of how sophisticated smoke alarms have become during the years, Cook said the equipment isn't foolproof. Dust, water and insects can place a smoke detector into alarm. "Spiders give us fits," Cook said. "They love to get into smoke detectors and build nests. They're always setting them off,

·-so cleaning the detectors has become a "big job."

··Testing and fixing the alarms is a never-en<fing task. Resetting or repairing an alarm that has been pulled either intentionally or unintentionally is part of the job. "It never fails," Cook said. "The caUs to fix a fire alarm always come at 3 a.m. when it"s freezing."

Weary of years of jumping out of bed in the middle of the night. Cook began a program each fall to teach the residence hall advisers and staff to tum off the alarms and reset them again. He also taught some of the members of the University porice department so they can shut off a system ringing due to a mechanical error or Vl'l"ldalism.

"We've had a rash of false alarms lately. The students don't realize how serious this is," Cook said. "We don't want them to get to the point where they don't take these alarms seriously." - ·

But Cook hopes he is able to prevent fices before the alarm can ring by conducting regular inspections of all the buildings located on the campus. Until 1983. he.inspected Md refilled the extingUisbers. too. "That kept me running because we have about 1,600 portmle:fire extinguishers," Cook said. ':Tue jof$ justgot to be too much so now we.send out all extinguiShers to have them refilled."

Despite precautioAs, the University has experienced several major fires which fortunately did hot result in any serious injuries. In 1968, the Delta Tau Delta110use burned e-ausilfQ S 125,ooo in_dama(Jes .. tn1:97T; a fll'e in the Phi Kappa ·Tao house resulted in $100,000 in damage with 22 minor injuries. Other buildings that have had several thousands of dollars worth of damage from fires include Harshman-Anderson. Otfenhauer, Harshman-Bromfield, Founders-Harmon and the Tau Kappa Epsilon house.

A list of causes for the blazes include cigarettes, unattended appliances such as curling irons or toasters, unattended <3ldles and possible arson.

··Fire safety is everybody's job," Parratt said. "But it is a job that tends to be somewhat invisible and people just assume they are being protected by someone else looking out for them.

Fortunately, Parratt noted, other areas of the campus and other agencies also see fire prevention as their business. Most departments and areas on campus are conscious of fire prevention and are supportive of safety efforts. Residence Life is the cornerstone of fire safety in residential hals and smal living units, he said. Plant operations and maintenance and the architect's office keep fire safety in mind when developing construction and remodeDing projects. Also, the Bowling Green.flee Department and the State Fire Marshall's office have provided extra assistance when needed.

"Actually, people don't realize how much fire safety has changed here in 1 O years. We've gone from almost nothing to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment just to keep them safe."

Rre safety on campus is about to undergo another change. Cook will be retiring in February and his job will be divided between his replacement and employees of plant operations and maintenance who will test and repair fire safety devises.

'.'It wiD take more than one person to replace Glenn," Parratt said. "'He has kept this campus safe from fires for a long time."

Lecture to promote peace

A Soviet woman who has become internationally known for her work in promoting peace education among children wiD bring her version of "citizen diplomacy" to the University on Feb. 8-9.

Dr. Nadia Burova, director and founder of the Center for Creative Initiatives, the international children's peace center in the Soviet Union, will give a public lecture at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Btyan Recital HaD of the Moore Musical Arts Center. Her topic wiU be "Communicating for Peace; Building Soviet-American Bridges Through Education.''

Burova's appearance will be the third annual peace lecture at Bowfing Green and is being sponsored by the Edward Lamb Foundation of Tole@.

On Monday, she wiU bring her message to local elementary. junior and high school students in a series of classroom appearances.

Burova established the children's center in Moscow with the help of Raisa Gorbachev who has demonstrated an interest in peace education. Burova also is one of three Soviets who regularly translates Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's speeches and writings into English.

8urova is weD known in the Soviet Union as an English language teacher and in 1976 received an award as the outstanding English teacher in the Soviet Union.

But she is becoming better known for her work as a peace educator. Burova has given many talks on global peace and youth involvement in anti-war activity.

She participated in the World Peace Forum in Helsinkl, Rnland in 1982 and the International Youth Festival in Moscow in 1985. In 1986 she brought 1 O Soviet children to the United States and they and 12 American youngsters toured the country performing the musical production of ··peace Child."

Burova's visit to Bowling Green is being arranged by Dr. John Schuck, professor emeritus of psychology, who met Burova last year while on a trip to the Soviet Union, and Dr. Larry Friedman, history. Schuck is also a delegate to this week's sunmit in Alexandria

Program helps employees to learn supervisory skills What qualities and skils are required to

become a supervisor at the University? Some ambitious members of the classified staff have been able to learn first-hand about the role of the supervisor and effective management !bing a 13-week pre-supervisory development program.

The program, sponsored by management support services, has been so SI iccessful it was offered twice last year and filed its class capacity of 30 participa11ts both times. Ruth Friend, training COOi di iator, said she is considering offering the program a third time later this year.

"We already have a waiting list for the next program if it is offered." she said. ·'The program has been open to any interested employee, but the majority of our participants have been classified staff."

Friend said the purpose of the training program is to offer an opportunity for new supervisors and employees interested in becoming supervisors to team the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out supervisory responsibilities.

"The University is always looking for ways to increase employees' opportu'lities to advance and grow, .. Friend said. In addition to the pre-supervisory training program, the University alsO recently offered a management program designed for employees interested in food services hospitaity management.

Friend said the idea of the program arose after she had received a number of inquiries from employees who wanted to know how to quaify for supervisory roles in classified positions. "The University realy desires to establish a good, solid management team and this seemed 6ke an effective way of achieving it," she said.

Participants had a variety of reasons for taking the classes. However, Friend said the majority had been in the same job for a number of years and saw a supervisory position as a way to grow in their career. Other participants had just been appointed to supervisory roles and wanted to begin with a good foundation of knowledge and skils.

By :'le end of tile c:ourse some

participants reaized they were not interested in pursuing a management position. "A superivisor takes on a lot of responsibilities," Friend said. "Some people decided after taking the course they didn't want al that on their shoulders."

Participating in the program does not guarmtee the employee a supervisory position. Friend said the class was told from the beginning they might not receive a new job assignment, but participating 1n the program was to their advantage.

"Every individual needs to understand that the more we prepare an individual, the more marketable we make him or her." Friend said. ''The skills learned in the program are valuable both inside and outside of the University."

Instructor for both sessions of the program was Dr. Ronald Hunady, management. ··He was really popular with OU" participants," Friend said. "He has had many practical experiences to use in teaching the material and he relates well with people. He was a key to the SI iccess of the program_"

CUing the 13-week period Masses covered such topics as the role of the

supervisor, developing administrative and leadership skils, managflg poeple effectively and developing a personal growthpB'I.

Friend said her office's budget paid fell" the program so there was no cost to the employee. Upon completing the progiam, the employees received a certificate verifying that they took the classes and a copy of the certificate was put in their personnel fies.

Friend said proof of the SI 1CCeSS of the program shows in the evaluations. One participant wrote: "After taking the program. it's now easier to oodeista Id where a supervisor is coming from -- either right or wrong." Another one wrote: "I learned something of value from every class. I also feel I gained a lot from the program for my own personal gain.··

"When I first ad\'ertised this program, I cidn•t know what kind of response we·d gel" Friend said. "But it has realy Uned out to be a terrific program. We've determined H you want to create contes llltient among employees, you have to create opporti.nties that don"t alow them to stagnate."

Environmental programs provide uniqc1e career paths Upon first glance at the undergraduate

catalog, there's something obviouSly confusing about environmental programs. They're everywhere.

A student can receiVe a bachelo< of science degree in environmental science or a bachelo< of arts degree in environmental policy and analysis, both from the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition. a bachelo< of science degree can be obtained in environmental health from the Colege of Health and Human Setvices or in environmental science/education from the CoUege of Education and Allied Professions.

Although the various programs might initiaBy sound confusing, Dr. Thomas B. Cobb, director of the Center for Environmental Programs. said each degree is unique and can take a student in his or her own specific direction. The Center provides coordination for students in al program areas.

"Environmental programs are gaining in popularity," Cobb said. "Students are interested in the area. but they want to mix it with other areas of study. That's what is nice about our programs. The degrees are flexible and afford the apportunity for students to design their

--'-d·- .. own...,. .............. Cobb said the ma,iority of students in

environmental programs currently are working on an environmental science degree in the CoUege of Arts and Sciences. "Students are attracted to that program because they initially have an interest in science," Cobb said. "But there are a lot of ways they can go with this degree."

Students select an area of emphasis, and with the help of an adviser. plan a program of study. They take a series of advanced courses in such fields as biology, ecology, chemistry, geology and geography. Graduates with this degree could qualify for positions in water resource planning, biological and chemical testing, public health and energy systems design. ..• _ .. ·

"For example; we had a student interested iri pursuirfg a career in environmental management," Cobb said. "He came here specifically because he knew he could design his course load. It's a way students can zero in on what they really want and possibly make them more marketable."

The environmental policy and analysis program differs from the environmental science degree in that it was developed for students interested in the administrative, legislative and organizational problems that have resulted from the impact of human activities on the natural and constructed world. Students in this program take more

CoUege Dr. Looking at the materials with him are Guo Ming (left). a graduate assistant, Teresa Garen (second from right). an environmental science student. and Justine Magsig, assistant director and adviser.

courses in geography, economics and political science because the program. app1 oaches environmental issues from the viewpoint of the social sciences, although courses in the natural sciences are also required.

Graduates are often employed as environmental organization administrators. planners. legislative assistants, technical report writers and energy analysts.

With a degree in environmental health from the Co8ege of Health and Human Setvices. graduates are likely to be employed in pubfic health and environmental agencies. Professionals in this field are applied scientists who.work with specific environmental problems as they affect human health and the environment: Through the program, students learn techniques of investigating and analyzing problems in industrial, community and natural settings. A series of specialized professional courses provide information on hazardous material management, water quality. air quality. public health and sanitation, industrial environmental control, epidemiology and environmental regulation and administration.

The environmental science program in the Colege of Education and Allied Professions teaches future teachers to understand the problems and issues that affect environmental quality and to relay enviro:1mental concerns to secondary

school pupils, grades 7-12, in the traditional classroom and alternative settings. Students take professional education courses in such subjects as teaching methods. innovative instructional techniques and supervised student teaching as wen as specialization courses in the natural sciences.

Justine Magsig. assistant director of environmental programs, adviser and the only full-time staff member, said the Center offers four core courses per year. Some of the degrees require the students to take all four classes, while the others specify which ones are necessary.

The Center is working to expand the course offerings with a possible future course on the Great Lakes environment. Magsig said it is hoped the class will be implemented next fal.

A total of 78 students currently are working toward degrees in one of the four programs. Magsig said their prospective careers look promising. "I get a number of mailings a month advertising job opportunities in :.. .. ese areas," She said. "It's an exciting field to be in right now."

is which? Are you confused by the number of

offices on campus with the word ··environmental" somewhere in their titles? If you are leaf111g through the phone airectory you are likely to fllld in addition to the Center for Environmental Programs the following offices or programs: Environmental Studies. Environmental Health, Environmental Services and Environmental Research and Services.

How do they differ and what do they do? The following explanations should help clear the air:

-Environmental Studies: ''That's our former name before we became the Center for Environmental Programs," Dr. Thomas B. Cobb. director, said. "We officially became the Center in 1980, but sometimes people forget and stil think of us as environmental studies."

-Environmental Research and Services: Cobb said this program no longer exists on campus. Environmental Research and Services was implemented by Dr. William Jackson, a Distinguised University Professor emeritus of biological sciences. who conducted research and pest management through the program. The program faded with Jackson's retirement.

-Environmental Health: Listed separately in the phone directory, this program is actually one of the four areas of degree study through the Center for Environmental Programs. Dr. Gary Silverman is the director of the health program.

-Environmental Services: This University service provides an array of environmental health and environmental safety programs for faculty, staff and students. Dan Parratt, manager, said the office provides a range of services including fire protection, asbestos inspection. pest control. food protection, building inspections, ra<fiation safety and industrial hygiene.

Environmental programs provide uniqc1e career paths Upon first glance at the undergraduate

catalog, there's something obviouSly confusing about environmental programs. They're everywhere.

A student can receiVe a bachelo< of science degree in environmental science or a bachelo< of arts degree in environmental policy and analysis, both from the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition. a bachelo< of science degree can be obtained in environmental health from the Colege of Health and Human Setvices or in environmental science/education from the CoUege of Education and Allied Professions.

Although the various programs might initiaBy sound confusing, Dr. Thomas B. Cobb, director of the Center for Environmental Programs. said each degree is unique and can take a student in his or her own specific direction. The Center provides coordination for students in al program areas.

"Environmental programs are gaining in popularity," Cobb said. "Students are interested in the area. but they want to mix it with other areas of study. That's what is nice about our programs. The degrees are flexible and afford the apportunity for students to design their

--'-d·- .. own...,. .............. Cobb said the ma,iority of students in

environmental programs currently are working on an environmental science degree in the CoUege of Arts and Sciences. "Students are attracted to that program because they initially have an interest in science," Cobb said. "But there are a lot of ways they can go with this degree."

Students select an area of emphasis, and with the help of an adviser. plan a program of study. They take a series of advanced courses in such fields as biology, ecology, chemistry, geology and geography. Graduates with this degree could qualify for positions in water resource planning, biological and chemical testing, public health and energy systems design. ..• _ .. ·

"For example; we had a student interested iri pursuirfg a career in environmental management," Cobb said. "He came here specifically because he knew he could design his course load. It's a way students can zero in on what they really want and possibly make them more marketable."

The environmental policy and analysis program differs from the environmental science degree in that it was developed for students interested in the administrative, legislative and organizational problems that have resulted from the impact of human activities on the natural and constructed world. Students in this program take more

courses in geography, economics and political science because the program. app1 oaches environmental issues from the viewpoint of the social sciences, although courses in the natural sciences are also required.

Graduates are often employed as environmental organization administrators. planners. legislative assistants, technical report writers and energy analysts.

With a degree in environmental health from the Co8ege of Health and Human Setvices. graduates are likely to be employed in pubfic health and environmental agencies. Professionals in this field are applied scientists who.work with specific environmental problems as they affect human health and the environment: Through the program, students learn techniques of investigating and analyzing problems in industrial, community and natural settings. A series of specialized professional courses provide information on hazardous material management, water quality. air quality. public health and sanitation, industrial environmental control, epidemiology and environmental regulation and administration.

The environmental science program in the Colege of Education and Allied Professions teaches future teachers to understand the problems and issues that affect environmental quality and to relay enviro:1mental concerns to secondary

school pupils, grades 7-12, in the traditional classroom and alternative settings. Students take professional education courses in such subjects as teaching methods. innovative instructional techniques and supervised student teaching as wen as specialization courses in the natural sciences.

Justine Magsig. assistant director of environmental programs, adviser and the only full-time staff member, said the Center offers four core courses per year. Some of the degrees require the students to take all four classes, while the others specify which ones are necessary.

The Center is working to expand the course offerings with a possible future course on the Great Lakes environment. Magsig said it is hoped the class will be implemented next fal.

A total of 78 students currently are working toward degrees in one of the four programs. Magsig said their prospective careers look promising. "I get a number of mailings a month advertising job opportunities in :.. .. ese areas," She said. "It's an exciting field to be in right now."

is which? Are you confused by the number of

offices on campus with the word ··environmental" somewhere in their titles? If you are leaf111g through the phone airectory you are likely to fllld in addition to the Center for Environmental Programs the following offices or programs: Environmental Studies. Environmental Health, Environmental Services and Environmental Research and Services.

How do they differ and what do they do? The following explanations should help clear the air:

-Environmental Studies: ''That's our former name before we became the Center for Environmental Programs," Dr. Thomas B. Cobb. director, said. "We officially became the Center in 1980, but sometimes people forget and stil think of us as environmental studies."

-Environmental Research and Services: Cobb said this program no longer exists on campus. Environmental Research and Services was implemented by Dr. William Jackson, a Distinguised University Professor emeritus of biological sciences. who conducted research and pest management through the program. The program faded with Jackson's retirement.

-Environmental Health: Listed separately in the phone directory, this program is actually one of the four areas of degree study through the Center for Environmental Programs. Dr. Gary Silverman is the director of the health program.

-Environmental Services: This University service provides an array of environmental health and environmental safety programs for faculty, staff and students. Dan Parratt, manager, said the office provides a range of services including fire protection, asbestos inspection. pest control. food protection, building inspections, ra<fiation safety and industrial hygiene.

911 rings with success in first 6 months of operation

The University's 911 emergency telephone service may have paid for itself on an afternoon in mid-November.

It was a cold. gray, windy day. A morning rain had been replaced by an afternoon mist when a freshman woman returned from classes to her residence hall room. Confused, upset and made desperate by a string of failing grades--the first such marks she had ever received--she decided there was no way to cope with her failure.

In a matter of minutes she had downed six full or partially full bottles of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. She then settled into a chair and called a friend at another Ohio university to say goodbye. The friend, horrified and panic stricken. called a mutual friend in Bowling Green.

With time running out. the friend, who lived across campus. picked up the phone and dialed 911 .

The dispatcher at the campus police station recorded the call at 4: 18 p.m. At 4:20 p.m .• three campus police cruisers pulled into the residence hall parking lot. In the next seven minutes. the officers raced to the room. gained entrance. talked to the still-conscious woman. evaluated the situation and called for an ambulance.

At 4:27 p.m .. an ambulance was dispatched; by 4 :31 p.m. it arrived at the residence hall. Fifteen minutes later the paramedics had the student in the ambulance and on the way to Wood County Hospital.

After doctors at the emergency room finished treating the woman. counselors from the Psychological Services Center stayed with her until her parents arrived to take her home.

In six months of operation no other 911

House's roots can be traced through mail

The house at the corner of E. Wooster and S. College streets has weathered the years well. Since it was built in the early 1930s, it has been home to a number of residents. including the University president, as weU as various offices. It's hard to believe the structure was ordered from Sears. Roebuck and Co.

Ordered from a catalog? It might sound odd. but actually ordering pre-cut homes out of catalogs was a big business in the earty 1900s, according to Pat Browne, business manager of Popular Press. which shares the building with the popular culture department.

"We're pretty sure this particular home came from Sears." Browne said. "The 1934 Sears catalog has a picture of a house that looks very much like this one. Montgomery Ward also sold homes through its catalogs, but we haven't seen any that match up to the one we're in ...

In addition. located on the chimney of the home is a decorative. rod-iron S. which appears both in the catalog photo of the home and on the Bowling Green house and could be the initial for Sears.

call has been as dramatic. but William Bess. director of management support services and immediate supervisor of the police department. said the service has already helped many people in emergency situations.

Since the operation began Aug 22. 9· 1·1 has been dialed more than 130 times. T upical of the kinds of calls there were from last month:

--One was from a student who smelled smoke in his residence hall; there was no fire.

--One was to report that a fire alarm had been set off; again. there was no fire.

--Two were from students who requested an ambulance for sick roommates.

--One was from a student who reported that his dog was lost.

While Bess admits that a lost dog was not the kind of emergency the department had in mind when it installed the service, he is quick to point out that the goal has been to get people to call the number when they believe there is an emergency.

And, to date. the goal has been reached. "People are using the service for what they believe to be true emergencies. There has been very little abuse. I am very pleased with the system and with the people using it. .. he added.

"While the person who lost his dog may not have had a real emergency. he thought he did and we're glad he remembered our number ...

Other problems the campus police have been alerted to through the 911 service have included residence hall fires. assaults. injuries. illnesses. suspicious persons and automobile accidents.

The popular culture department and Popular Press are located in a house ordered from a catalog. The decorative symbol on the chimney {right) suggests it was from Sears.

"I don't know that for a fact." Browne said. "I originally thought it was the initial of the family that built the home. but it doesn't correlate and it seems more logical that it stands for Sears.'"

Sheila Romero is up at the crack of dawn with her cleaning duties at McFaIJ Center. Like many other custodial workers at the University, her day begins at 4 a. m. in order to get a bulk of her work completed before the building gets busy with other employees and student traffic.
