FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 1997 CONTACT: JoAnn Peroutka 410.455.6720 or peroutka@umbc.edu UMBC STUDY EXAMINES RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORCHESTRAS AND THEIR HOST CITIES Baltimore, MD A new report, "Symphony Orchestras and Local Governments," from the Maryland Institute of Policy Analysis and Research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, explores the nature of symphony orchestras' interaction with local government at a crucial juncture in federal arts funding. "The reduction of NEA funding offers an opportunity to lead state and local governments in thinking about new ways to support orchestras and other arts organizations," states Arthur T. Johnson, author of the study and professor of political science at UMBC. The report examines orchestra financial data and survey responses from managing directors of 55 of the approximately 100 American orchestras with operating budgets of at least $1 million. Symphony orchestras in cities such as Baltimore, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis and Shreveport responded to questions regarding public funding as a percentage of total revenues, concert hall conditions and renovation plans, community outreach efforts, and local government and its effects on orchestra activities. (See the attached page for a complete list of orchestras responding to the survey.) According to Johnson's study, public funding represents approximately 6 percent of the responding orchestras' revenues. Without this funding, 30 of 34 orchestras in the sample operating at a surplus in 1996 would have incurred a deficit. Close to 70 percent of the respondents received financial support from their city governments and nearly one third (31 percent) received more funding from their local governments than state and federal resources.

Photo 14. An expanding population increases wastewater flows to the Chesapeake Bay. Improved wastewater treatment and a ban on phosphorus-containing detergents have reduced point sources of phosphorus by 70% since the 1970s. South Florida The 16 counties of South Florida lie roughly within the area that extends from Lake Okeechobee, south through the Everglades, and into the Florida Keys. This diverse ecosystem includes wetlands, forested uplands, mangroves, beaches, and coral reefs. At one time, wetlands dominated the ecosystem, covering much of central and southern Florida (South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, 1994). Photo 12. The population explosion in South Florida has dramatically changed the landscape from expansive wetlands to heavily developed communities. Florida's population explosion began after World War II. In 1940, the state had a population of 1.8 million; by 1996, the population had reached 14.3 million, an increase of almost 700%. Much of this growth has been along Florida's lower east coast, an area that currently accounts for about 4.5 million people. Dade County, which includes Miami, grew from more than 267,000 in 1940 to over 2 million people by 1994 (Bureau of the Census, 1996).

Home Page Free Stuff ... Us What State Are You In? Social Studies: Intermediate (Grades 3-5) Objective Students practice and review knowledge of major U.S. cities. Materials game cards cardstock of any color on which to print game cards paper and pencil for keeping score Directions This activity is great for helping students identify to which states major U.S. cities belong. None of the cities on the cards are state capitals, which provides an extra challenge for students. Copy the game cards on cardstock. You might want to decorate the back of the cards with a sticker such as a flag or another symbol. If possible, laminate the cards, then cut them out. Before students begin playing the game, use a map to review well-known cities in different states. See how many cities students can think of. Find each city on the map and point it out to students. Game Rules: Shuffle the cards and place them face down. Turn the first card up and show it or read it to students. If a student knows the state in which the city is found, he or she can raise his or her hand to answer the question. Check the answer key for the correct answer and score as follows: Correct answer-Win 2 points, card goes to discard pile. Incorrect answer-Lose 2 points, card goes to bottom of pile.

Publications: Evaluating Welfare Reform Future Evaluations The major forthcoming evaluations will assess the new welfare regime created by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program, which replaced AFDC in 1996. Although states can continue to operate their welfare programs as they have in the past, most observers expect to see fundamental changes. Already, a number of large-scale evaluations have been launched. National or Multi-State Evaluations The passage of TANF almost immediately gave rise to research studies proposing to track changes in state welfare systems and estimate their effects on both state welfare agencies and the poor. The studies will employ various sources of data, including existing national surveys, newly established ones, and administrative data sets. The Census Bureau Survey , mandated by the new federal welfare law, is likely to be the most significant source of national data on welfare reform. The law includes $10 million a year for the Bureau to expand its data collection through the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). This new "Survey of Program Dynamics" will be built on the data collected in the 1992 and 1993 SIPP panels, thus extending data collection for these cohorts through 2001. This will provide ten years of longitudinal data on income, patterns of welfare receipt, and the condition of children. Because the panels began three or four years before the enactment of the welfare reform bill, researchers will be able to assess the impact of the bill by comparing this extensive baseline data with data collected after the bill takes effect.
