Recently, political science professor Dr. Herb Smith, the McDaniel College director of government relations, brought together a distinguished panel at the college in Westminster for a local “Dialogue on the Presidential Election.”

Just as early voting has begun in many states, and the date of the traditional fall general election is within weeks, now is the time that our country turns to the podium and stage for the debate edition of presidential reality theatre.

Harford County Executive (Rep.) David Craig addresses a McDaniel College panel during an October 2, 2012 presentation on the 2012 presidential election.

On October 2, the day before the much-ballyhooed presidential debate in Denver, I particularly enjoyed the “Dialogue on Presidential Election” debate forum at McDaniel College.

The event brought together my friends Maryland Delegate (Dem.) Samuel (Sandy) Rosenberg and Harford County Executive (Rep.) David Craig for a discussion moderated by McDaniel President Roger Casey.

Instead of an audience of 70 million, about 125 students gathered at the Decker Center Forum on the college campus to witness County Executive Craig and Delegate Rosenberg answer questions and provide thoughtful insights into the many complicated issues that are part of the difficult matrix that must be negotiated before one makes a decision as to how to mark his or her ballot on November 6.

For an hour and a half, County Executive Craig and Delegate Rosenberg discussed sixteen questions from panelists that included McDaniel faculty members, Dr. Julie Routzahn, an economics and business administration professor and Dr. Debora Johnson-Ross, a political science professor.

Also on the panel were Maryland Public Television’s Jeff Salkin and my former editor, Jim Lee, who has served at the helm of the Carroll County Times for 15-years.

[…]

Many have been surprised that the Republican presidential challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, did as well as he did during the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3.

Writing for The Slatest, Josh Voorhees penned on Monday, “Was Romney's Debate Win the Most Convincing in History? It Looks That Way.” According to Mr. Voorhees, “Gallup's latest survey shows just how overwhelmingly the American public thought Mr. Romney bested President Obama onstage in Denver last Wednesday: 72 percent of debate watchers gave the win to the GOP challenger with only 20 percent seeing the president as the winner. That 52-point gap was the largest the polling outfit has ever seen, topping even Bill Clinton's 42-point margin over George H. W. Bush in 1992…”

For those who missed the debate, it is also a great read. The transcript of “President Obama and Mitt Romney’s remarks at the first presidential debate …,” has been published by The Washington Post.

For a concise and insightful commentary on the debate by TheTentacle.com writer, former Maryland State Del. Rick Weldon, read, “A Slam-Dunk Election Snapshot.” “Employing language familiar to basketball fans, the first presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle resulted in a slam dunk for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney,” says Delegate Weldon… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5389

The Tentacle: New history book on Maryland Politics by John Willis and Herb Smith discussed at McDaniel College


State’s Political History Has A New Review
Kevin E. Dayhoff October 3, 2012

“Maryland Politics and Government: Democratic Dominance,” written by Drs. John T. Willis and Herbert C. Smith, is an in-depth look at Maryland’s political identity.

Steeped in history and tradition, the dark wood paneling of McDaniel Hall on the campus of McDaniel College was the perfect setting for a recent book talk on the arcane, distinctive, and uniquely byzantine political history of the State of Maryland.. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5375

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-tentacle-new-history-book-on.html

The University of Nebraska noted that the reference book is “certain to set the standard for understanding the politics of Maryland for years to come…”

“There are fifteen chapters and well over 300 pages of text. Considering we submitted an 800-page manuscript, one has to marvel at the editorial acumen out there”… Dr. Smith said at the University of Nebraska.

“It’s truly a labor of love,” Dr. Smith says, “explaining that he and Dr. Willis have gone through a number of updates trying to capture a political system that is essentially a moving target,” according to an article on the McDaniel College website.

The long-awaited 432-page book, written by two longstanding friends of mine, was released on January 1, 2012, and is part of the Politics and Governments of the American States Series by the University of Nebraska Press.

Dr. Willis is the director of the government and public policy program at the University of Baltimore. He has served as Maryland’s secretary of state from 1995 to 2003 and is the author of “Presidential Elections in Maryland.”

Dr. Smith, the director of government relations at the college, has been a professor of political science and international studies at McDaniel College since 1973.

“Maryland, in all candor, is neglected, overlooked… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5375

The politics of taxation and spending

Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of its neighbor, Washington, D.C., Maryland has often been overlooked and neglected in studies of state governmental systems.

With the publication of Maryland Politics and Government, the challenging demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due.

Two longtime political analysts, Herbert C. Smith and John T. Willis, conduct a sustained inquiry into topics including the Maryland identity, political history, and interest groups; the three branches of state government; and policy areas such as taxation, spending, transportation, and the environment.

Smith and Willis also establish a “Two Marylands” model that explains the dominance of the Maryland Democratic Party, established in the post–Civil War era, that persists to this day even in a time of political polarization. Unique in its scope, detail, and coverage, Maryland Politics and Government sets the standard for understanding the politics of the Free State (or, alternately, the Old Line State) for years to come.

Memorial service at McDaniel recalls Case as passionate educator, adventurer

Memorial service at McDaniel recalls Case as passionate educator, adventurer

Former McDaniel provost climbed in Nepal, ran in Alaska


More than 500 people took time from their Labor Day weekend to fill Big Baker Chapel at McDaniel College on Sept. 1, paying respects at a memorial service for the late Dr. Sam Case.

Case, 70, a longtime Westminster resident, died Aug. 22 at Carroll Hospice Center's Dove House in Westminster, from complications from leukemia

He was a respected and admired professor and coach, who taught human physiology and exercise science courses for nearly four decades at McDaniel College.

Before Case retired from McDaniel in 2004, he served as the school's provost for four years.


Case retired shortly after he was diagnosed with leukemia, a disease he faced with determination — and by going mountain climbing in Nepal.

Classmates, fellow professors, students, wrestlers, football players and distance runners attended the service. After a welcome by Case's son-in-law, James Ellison, colleagues including Dr. Alex Ober, Gary Scholl, Dr. Kathy Mangan, Dr. Sherri Lind Hughes and former McDaniel College President Joan Develin Coley offered tributes to Case.

Case's daughter, Lauren Case, said her dad had cautioned her, "I don't want people sitting around so keep it short."

H Sam Case 70 of Westminster and McDaniel College


This information came from the Westminster Road Runners Club earlier this evening… Wednesday, August 22, 2012.

The following is from McDaniel's Alumni network. Sam was one of the founders of Westminster Road Runners Club. He will be missed.

------------------------------------------------------------------

H. Samuel Case, beloved professor and coach who taught human physiology and exercise science courses at the College for nearly four decades, died August 22, 2012 at age 70 following complications from leukemia. He also served as Provost and Dean of the Faculty from 2000 to 2004.

The starting line of Sam’s career emerged by accident while he was still an undergraduate at Western Maryland College (now McDaniel). He suffered a concussion while playing football in his sophomore year and opted to assist with coaching. By the time he graduated in 1963 with a degree in physical education and biology, he had racked up three years of coaching experience. 

He taught and coached briefly at The Johns Hopkins University before his former professor, Dick Clower, brought him back as a colleague in 1965. Sam earned a master’s degree in physical education from the College in 1966, and a Ph.D. in exercise physiology from The Ohio State University in 1971. After joining the College faculty, he rose rapidly through the ranks from instructor to full professor. He is one of the few faculty to win the College’s prestigious Distinguished Teaching Award not once but twice. He also received two Fulbright nominations to the former Yugoslavia in 1988 and 1989.

On three occasions, his expertise took him to the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where he served as a physiologist. He held numerous offices in professional associations and served as chair of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Physical Fitness and as associate editor of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 

Sam helped to lead curricular reform in the 1990s while developing and teaching new courses in his department. His contribution to the study of human physiology in extreme environments is highly acclaimed, including his research — often participatory research — on competitors in the Iditarod and Iditasport ultra-marathon. He ran the more than 80 miles of Alaska’s tundra in sub-zero temperatures three times within a decade. That work spurred even more important research projects inAntarctica between 1997 and 1999, funded by the National Science Foundation, which awarded him the Antarctica Service Medal. His cold weather research inspired the popular “Physiology of Extreme Environments” course.

He was a member of the Tri-Beta Biology Honorary Society and the Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Society. He published some 58 articles on physiology and physical fitness, many co-authored with his students who accompanied him on his research expeditions.

Sam also built an outstanding career as a skilled and dedicated coach, having led the College’s wrestling team to Mason Dixon Conference Championships in 1969 and 1970. In 2001, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame recognized him with its Lifetime Service Award. That same year, he was inducted into the Carroll County Sports Hall of Fame and, in 2004, he was inducted into the Green Terror Sports Hall of Fame.

Sam was an adventurer and world traveler who always chose to push his limits. A year after his retirement in 2004, he and a college buddy completed an 18-day trek through the Mount Everest region of Nepal, climbing high enough into the mountains to risk altitude sickness. 

He gave back in large measure to both the campus and local communities. Each year, he organized the faculty hike and was instrumental in establishing recognition of retired faculty in Memorial Plaza. For more than 20 years, he volunteered for the local and Mid-Maryland Division of the American Heart Association. 

In an essay written by Sam in 1995 when nominated for the CASE Professor of the Year, he wrote, “My greatest reward as a teacher comes when my students understand how their bodies function, realize their own potentials, and explore the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge. I hope that when they leave the classroom, they will continue to set personal records for themselves, both as Olympic thinkers and creative athletes.”

A native of Three Bridges, New Jersey, Sam went to Hunterton Central High School where he was on both the football and wrestling teams. During his junior year, he was second in his weight class in the N.J. StateNovice Wrestling Tournament.

Sam is survived by his wife, Susan Snodgrass Case ’65 of Westminster, and their two daughters Lauren and Sarah, and their families.

McDaniel College unveils new look for Green Terror athletic logo


McDaniel College unveils new look for Green Terror athletic logo

June 19, 2012


It’s still a terror, and is still green, but it's a new look for McDaniel College.

On Tuesday, the Westminster college unveiled a new look to its "Green Terror" logo — a new visual identity for Green Terror athletics that officials said will be used beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year.

The new look replaces the previous Green Terror design, created in 1994, and is described by school officials as an "updated package with a variety of graphic options to represent the teams and programs within the department."

[...]

Another version of the moniker story is attributed to Baltimore Sun sportswriter W. Wilson Wingate, a 1918 graduate of the College.

Media duo Judy Woodruff and Al Hunt speak at McDaniel College by Kevin Dayhoff




The media duo of Judy Woodruff, of the PBS NewsHour, and her husband Al Hunt, of Bloomberg News, visited McDaniel College for a program entitled “Conversation with Washington Insiders” Sunday afternoon in Westminster.

A crowd of over 150 attended. They came from a nice mix of about equal parts the McDaniel College community and the greater Westminster area.

After being introduced by McDaniel President Roger Casey, Ms. Woodruff, 65, and Mr. Hunt, 69, both delivered a short presentation on current events before taking a dozen thoughtful questions gathered from the audience… http://www.thetentacle.com/author.cfm?MyAuthor=41

Not a good pic but Woodruff and Hunt are being introduced by Pres Casey





Sunday Afternoon, April 15, 2012


For more information: see “Washington insiders to speak on campus,” http://www.mcdaniel.edu/12054.htm, on the McDaniel College website, http://www.mcdaniel.edu/.

McDaniel College hosts a “Conversation with Washington Insiders” at 2:30 p.m. April 15, featuring a discussion with Washington, D.C., journalists and husband and wife, Al Hunt of Bloomberg News and Judy Woodruff of “PBS NewsHour.”

Dr. Roger Casey, president of McDaniel, moderates the hour-long event, which is free and open to the public. Questions and answers also will be solicited from the audience.

Al Hunt is executive editor of Bloomberg News in Washington, D.C. He was formerly a congressional and national political reporter, bureau chief and executive Washington editor for The Wall Street Journal for 35 years. He has served as a panelist on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and PBS’ “Washington in Review,” as well as political analyst on CBS Morning News, and a panelist on CNN’s “The Capital Gang” and “Novak, Hunt & Shields.”


Judy Woodruff has covered politics and other news as a television journalist at CNN, NBC, and PBS for more than three decades. She served as co-anchor of “PBS NewsHour,” chief Washington correspondent for PBS’ “The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour” and anchored the award-winning weekly documentary series, “Frontline with Judy Woodruff.” She was an anchor and senior correspondent for CNN for 12 years, anchoring the weekday political program, “Inside Politics.”
