Lyndon Johnson called him "Bull," an apt nickname for Wilson Homer Elkins. He picked up the moniker as a star athlete at the University of Texas, and when he came to College Park in 1954 to succeed Harry Clifton "Curley" Byrd as president of the University of Maryland, Dr. Elkins needed a bull's strength and single-mindedness.The university's academic accreditation was threatened because Byrd had emphasized athletics over scholarship. Restoring a healthy balance was one of football star Elkins' first moves.

College Park. -- The University of Maryland held a memorial service at College Park the other day for Wilson Elkins, who had been its president for nearly a quarter-century, from 1954 to 1978. The campus chapel hosted 150, a fraction of those present at the last several memorial services I attended, which had been for professors.The campus community never fully appreciated Dr. Elkins' role while he was shaping College Park into a major national institution with an academic reputation reflecting its potential.

What really works for New York choreographer Doug Elkins, whose company opened a weekend of appearances at Towson State University's Stephens Hall last night, is how he manages to loot a variety of dance styles to create his unique off-centered and humorous dances.But what makes this choreographer successful is also the same thing that undermines his works. Mr. Elkins is a stickler for detail, and his penchant for physically describing every possible stylistic variation can sometimes lead him dramatically off the deep end.The highlight of the evening was the closing work, "The Patrooka Variations," which demonstrated just how cleverly Mr. Elkins can fasten disparate movements together and make them look logically inevitable.

Two men who were charged with federal gun crimes in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old at his Dundalk home have pleaded guilty, according to their attorneys. Shawn Lee Elkins, who shared a home in the 2000 block of Armco Way with his brother, died in October 1998 after two masked gunmen forced their way into the home, robbed the seven people in the house and fired one shot. On Friday, Ronald Campbell III pleaded guilty to a federal gun charge and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. His attorney, Daniel F. Goldstein, said yesterday that his client should receive at least a five-year reduction in that sentence because Campbell offered to help federal prosecutors in their case against his co-defendant.
