It may be cliché, but when rivals gettogether, all records can be thrown outthe window. All that matters is the winthat day, and at 1 p.m. Saturday,November 14, it will simply be about whois going to walk out of Sea Gull Stadiumwith the Regents Cup in hand.The football teams from Salisbury

University and Frostburg State Universityhave played each other every year since1973. The Sea Gulls hold a 20-16 edge inthe series, and for the last 10 years, theteams have battled for the Regents Cup.When the cup has been on the line, theteams have met at a neutral site field,playing at then PSINET Stadium inBaltimore, RFK Stadium in Washington,D.C., Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson,MD, and the last two years at the U.S.Naval Academy’s Navy-Marine CorpsMemorial Stadium.Salisbury has walked away from six of

the 10 Regents Cup games with thetrophy and will beattempting to doso again thisseason, but in2009 the gamecarries an extraflare as it will beheld on campus atSea Gull Stadium.The last

meeting inSalisbury was onSeptember 27,1997, when theBobcats cameaway with a

16-7 victory. The Sea Gulls’ last win onone of the two campuses came in 1995when they collected a 35-28 home win.The Sea Gulls are riding a big wave

of momentum in recent history againstFrostburg State, having won the last fivemeetings. Each team has put together asix-game winning streak in the series, andSalisbury rattled off seven straightvictories from 1982 through 1988.The two teams will be leaving the

Atlantic Central Football Conferenceafter next season to join the Empire 8Conference, comprised mainly of schoolsfrom New York State.

A Sustainable St. MartinAs SU continues its five-year residencehall renovation plan, workers are lookingat ways to make the current buildingsmore sustainable.For instance, crews renovating

St. Martin Hall last summer usedeverything from solar power to a newroof coating to increase the energyefficiency of this 23-year-old building.The result: The hall is now 15 percentmore efficient than required by Marylandbuilding codes.New features include an Energy Star-

compliant roof coating to help reduceheat island effect, an energy recovery unitto recapture up to 80 percent of theheated and cooled air in the building thatotherwise would escape, and a solarstairwell fan for improved ventilation overall.Low-flow aerators on the building’s

faucets allow the hall to use 10 percentless water than before the renovation.Exterior lobby and lounge walls werereplaced with full-height glass, allowingmore natural daylight into those spaces.All concrete, metal, wood and paver

materials removed during the projectwere reused or recycled, and all flooringmaterials—including carpet—includedrecycled materials. All new materialsinstalled contained low volatilecompounds, helping remove air toxins inthe building.

Frana and Venso ConductEnvironmental StudyA recent study by the MarylandDepartment of the Environment (MDE)and SU finds that pets and wildlife aresignificant sources of bacteria in thewatersheds of eight Anne ArundelCounty waterways.Another MDE-SU study recently

released suggests that bacteria are presentin sediment and sand and may contributeto elevated bacteria levels in water.For several years MDE has partnered

with SU to develop Bacteria SourceTracking (BST) for all bacteria-impairedwaters in Maryland. This latest round ofBST work was completed in July andsubmitted to MDE by Drs. Mark Franaand Elichia Venso, SU researchers.

Roche Publishes BookAt a time when the financial andinsurance industries have made the newsfor questionable practices that, in somecases, have led thousands to financial ruin, Dr. Oliver P. Roche of SU’s Managementand Marketing Department offers someinsights into the makeup of boards ofdirectors and why some are more effectivethan others.In his new book, Corporate Governance

and Organization Life Cycle: The Changing Roleand Composition of the Board of Directors,from Cambria Press, the Perdue School ofBusiness assistant professor argues thatwhile board composition is only one ofmany factors that contribute to a business’success, it remains a critical one. Inaddition, a board’s composition mustchange and transform with the companyfor optimum results, he says.

Students Studying SU’sGreen PotentialIn fall 2008, students in Dr. ArviArunachalam’s Essentials of Finance Real Estate class in the Economics andFinance Department studied the costeffectiveness of adding sustainableinfrastructure to SU’s Caruthers, Devilbissand Henson Science halls. Some of theresults were surprising.For example, the addition of compact

fluorescent or LED lighting to replacecurrent fixtures in these buildings, couldsave $3.50 to $4 for each $1 invested atthe current energy rate, the study said.This would mean SU could recoup itscost within eight years of installation—even sooner if the price of electricityincreases. Students also calculated thatadding more energy-efficient insulationand windows to the oldest buildingstudied, Caruthers Hall, would help lowerheating and lighting costs in that building.Students also determined how much

money the University could save by usingsolar energy. While retrofitting olderbuildings with solar panels would not becost effective without a governmentsubsidy, tuning SU’s existing parking lotsinto solar car ports—installing a solarcollector at each parking space—couldproduce enough energy to power theentire campus on an annual basis.This fall, students are conducting

similar studies at SU’s Maggs PhysicalActivities Center and—expanding intothe greater community—the WicomicoYouth & Civic Center.

Dr. Dean Ravizza of SU’s Health,Physical Education and HumanPerformance Department was conductingpost-graduate research in Tanzania in1993 when the genocide broke out inneighboring Rwanda.“It happened so suddenly that no one

really knew what to do,” Ravizza recalled.“A good friend of mine was the directorof UNICEF in Tanzania, and I said,‘What can I do?’ She said, ‘Do what youdo best.’ I scrounged up what little athleticequipment I could find and went in.”Ravizza organized recreational sports

at refugee camps. Though his fieldworkultimately took him to other countries andcontinents, “Africa never left my mind.”Perhaps that’s why, in 2005, he turneddown a faculty position with OhioUniversity to spend nine more months inAfrica with a UNICEF Sport forDevelopment and Peace partner project.Though he was initially scheduled to workin the Sudan, political unrest there forcedthe organization to move his assignmentto a more familiar territory—Uganda.This time, in addition to refugee

camps, he also worked with former childsoldiers at interim care centers—halfwayhouses for many rescued children and

youth who were abducted and forced intovarious roles within the rebel group. Thecenters help them re-assimilate toUgandan society and their communities inparticular while their families can betraced. Organized athletics, Ravizza said,are a useful tool in that process if done properly.Ravizza hopes to be part of that

process. Today, he and his all-Ugandanresearch team are conducting the study“The Use of Sport for Children andYouth in Armed Conflict Settings.” Hisgoal is to provide data to localgovernments and recognized non-government organizations so theymay set guidelines for establishingeffective community-based programs thatinvolve the use of sport for children andyouth in northern Uganda on a largerand more permanent scale.Dr. Kelly Fiala of SU’s Health,

Physical Education and HumanPerformance Department providesguidance on survey development and thestatistical analysis phases of the study. TheU.S. Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID) has recognized itas the only study of its kind in the world.
