Historical Background
The historical background of the University of Maryland reflects the impressive growth of one of the oldest and largest educational institutions in the United States, In each stage of its development the University has striven to achieve new goals which would distinguish it from other institutions, and in many phases the accomplishments have been outstanding. Today, the University of Maryland still aims to improve every aspect of its educational structure in order to make the thousands of men and women who have dedicated a part of their lives to the institution justly proud.
In 1807 the idea of a University of Maryland became a reality with the establishment of the University of Baltimore and the College of Medicine, the sixth such institute in America. The College of Medicine, striving to achieve new goals, was the first medical school to place dissection as a compulsory part of the curriculum and to create an independent chair of feminine diseases. The second phase in the growth of the University came in 1871 when the Maryland College of Pharmacy was added to the University of Baltimore, and a chair of analytical chemistry was placed in the curriculum. The Maryland School of Law, the fourth law school in the United States, was added to the Baltimore campus in 1882. During the same year, the School of Dentistry was founded, the first dental college to be established in the world and the first institution dedicated to the only profession that is distinctly American. In 1889 the Maryland School of Nursing was founded by Louisa Parson with the coop- eration of Florence Nightingale.
The College Park campus of the University of Maryland began in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College after a group of southern Maryland farmers purchased the estate of Charles B. Calvert, Esquire. The Maryland Agricultural College became the third such institution established in the western hemisphere. Then in 1862 Congress passed the Morrill Land Grant Act which provided the Maryland Agricultural College an opportunity to be one of the first to benefit from federal aid to education. After a disastrous fire in 1912 and a tragic decrease in enrollment due to World War I, the
Agricultural College found it necessary to apply for further state aid. Maryland State College officially began in 1914 when the Maryland State Legislature bought all the stock in the College.
The next major phase in the growth occurred in 1920 when Maryland State College and the University of Baltimore were united to form the University of Maryland. The College of Special and Continuation Studies was established in 1940 to provide an overseas program for servicemen and dependents of government employees. This program has continued to grow and it now serves twenty-five countries on four continents.
Both the Baltimore campus and the College Park campus have grown immensely in the past few years. Recently a new four-year division was established at Catonsville which is now in its second academic year. The College Park campus has also experienced recent additions with the opening in 1965 of the Adult Education Center, the Fine Arts Building which houses the J. Millard Tawes Theater, the Education Building, and the Computer Science Center. In 1966 the first portion of the Ellicott City Complex was completed including a dining hall; the additions to H. J. Patterson Hall and the Physical Sciences Building were also finished. With this fall will come the opening of the Space Science Center and an addition to the Physics-Astronomy Building, including the unveiling of the Cyclotron. Another addition to the College Park campus is in the area of the curriculum: the College of Architecture and the College of Library Science have been formally established with the new deans to be named this fall.
The University of Maryland continues to grow in all areas of educational achievement. The University ranked eighth in the nation this year in total enrollment, which is proof that the University is growing physically as well. Over 130,000 men and women have received degrees from the University and the number is rapidly increasing. The University of Maryland is truly a vital part of higher education in the United States.
History of the Colleges
College of Agriculture
This college, the oldest division of the University of Maryland, headed by Dean Gordon M. Cairns, was originally founded in 1856 as the Maryland Agriculture College. Graduates of the College of Agriculture enter a wide variety of careers in the field of agricultural science, technology, and business. Symons Hall is the headquarters of the College of Agriculture.
College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences through its seventeen depart- ments offers majors in most of the basic academic fields in the humanities, social sciences, biological and physical sciences, mathe- matics and the fine arts. The College was founded in 1921 when the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Chemistry were merged.
College of Business and Public Administration
Dr. Donald W. O'Connell is Dean of the College of Business and Public Administration. The College offers degree programs through its six departments: Business Administration, Economics, Geography, Government and Politics, Journalism and Information Systems Management. Within the Department of Business Adminis- tration eight different fields of concentration are offered, ranging from accounting to transportation. The Departments of Geography, Government and Politics and Journalism also offer alternative pro- grams, including, for example, specializations in urban geography, public administration and news-editorial work.
College of Education
Preparing young men and women to teach is the main goal of the College of Education. Under the direction of Dean Vernon Anderson the College offers courses in early childhood, elementary, secondary, and industrial education.
College of Engineering
Since 1898, the College of Engineering has offered over 5000 baccalaureate degrees. Presently, under Dean Robert B. Beckmann, the school offers degrees in: aeronautical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and fire protection.
College of Home Economics
In commemoration of its fiftieth anniversary, the College of Home Economics is renaming its present building in honor of its first dean. A plaque with the new name, Marie Mount Hall, will be placed on the building by Dean Erna Chapman in a special ceremony on October 21, 1967.
College of Physical Education
The College of Physical Education was founded by Dean Lester M. Fraley eighteen years ago. A Bachelor of Science degree is given to the students who successfully complete course work in one of these fields: physical education, recreation, health, dance, and physical therapy.
University Traditions
In an institution so deeply rooted in the past, there will naturally be a number of long established customs and events that have become a traditional part of life at a university and the University of Maryland is no exception.
The most reknown of these customs is the terrapin mascot. "Testudo," who watches over all University students from his pedestal in front of McKeldin Library. Rubbing the bronze ter- rapin's nose is said to bring special luck to any student. In 1965 Testudo n, a mechanical counterpart to Testudo I, was added and can be seen at sport events.
From the steeple of the University Chapel, the chimes ring out the strains of "Maryland, My Maryland" every hour on the hour to warn all late students. At Christmas time the alma mater is replaced by traditional carols.
No account of the University's traditions would be complete without mentioning the Kissing Tunnel. This secluded spot may be found under Chapel Drive in front of the Chapel and is especially popular in early fall and in late spring.
Band Day
Sponsored by the SGA, Maryland high school bands combine their talents and perform during the half-time of an October football game.
Homecoming
Highlighting the football season is Homecoming. On the eve of the Homecoming game, organizations and residence halls construct elaborate floats which are viewed and judged in the pre-game parade. During half-time the Homecoming queen is crowned. Concluding the day's events is the Homecoming Dance in Reckord Armory.

Away Weekend
This event, sponsored by the SGA, provides an opportunity for University of Maryland students to attend an away football game. Arrangements for transportation and tickets are planned in advance.
Parents' Day
Sponsored by the SGA and held in the early fall, Parents' Day is a special day dedicated to the parents who are invited to attend the football game and visit residences having open house. Special recognition is given to the parents at this time through a variety of campus-wide programs.
Class Proms
Each year the Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior Proms are held at Indian Springs Country Club. The social events of the year are culminated by the Senior Prom, a formal dinner dance, which is held at the Sheraton Park Hotel.
Campus Chest Week
In the spring, Campus Chest sponsors this fund-raising project for charity. During this two-week period penny votes are cast in the Ugly Man and Miss Campus Chest Queen contests. On Friday night, College Casino brings legal gambling to campus for the benefit of charity.
Spring Weekend
In the spring the SGA provides top flight talent at the Spring Weekend Dance and a series of other events. This week-end last year on campus featured Smokey Robinson and the Miracles as well as Ian and Sylvia and Simon and Garfunkel.
Orientation Week
Orientation Week is designed to introduce new students to the University. Among the week's activities are the President's Convocation, the Dink Debut mixer, and a cultural event during which a nationally known entertainer will perform in an outdoor concert. A series of individual group meetings designed to familiarize the new students with campus activities and University life are also planned. The Freshmen Orientation Board urges all new students to attend these activities in order to gain a better understanding of the University, its organizations and its facilities.
President's Convocation
Each semester, the President of the University addresses the student body in Cole Field House on current policies of the University. President Elkins' address is comparable to the President's State of the Union Address. Classes are dismissed for this event in order to enable all to attend.
Administration
Freshmen should be familiar with the members of the Adminis- stration and their responsibilities, for they coordinate and direct all phases of University life. They are always anxious to meet students, listen to their views, and help them with their problems.

What is a Union ?
A Union could best be characterized as the living room of the campus. It is the focal point of cultural and social activity for the Lniversity community. Its purpose is to provide the University "family" with the programs and facilities to satisfy many out-of- classroom tastes and needs. The activities and services offered by the Student Union are for the enjoyment of all the members of the University and are utilized according to individual interests in such areas as meetings, lectures, dances and receptions, music, movies, or simply relaxing over a cup of coffee or in a casual conversation with friends. The Union is an important contributor in the development of the student with respect to building sound citizenship and acting as a workshop in human relations.

Student Government Association
The SGA is the governing body for all University students. It protects their rights and interests and coordinates student activities and services.
The individual student plays a most important role in the proper functioning of the SGA: he pays a student activity fee during registration which provides the working capital for SGA; he elects the people who represent him as officers; and through these officers he decides on the allocation of money as well as on many other policies.
Like the national government, the SGA is composed of executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
Executive Branch
Serving as a liaison with the student body, the faculty and the administration of the University, the executive branch of the Cabinet, is responsible for determining student policies. It acts on motions passed by the legislature and appoints and supervises SGA com- mittees.

Judicial Branch
Judicial power which is granted by the Faculty Senate Committee on Student Discipline is vested in six campus judicial boards. The Judiciary Office refers cases to the various student Judiciary boards according to the jurisdictional area of the student Judiciary boards and the seriousness and nature of the offense. The student Judiciary boards in turn make recommendations to the Judiciary Office for disciplinary action, if any, to be taken. The student judiciaries operate upon the basis of fundamental fairness during their hearing procedures; they strive to consider each case individually rather than matching penalties for specific offenses, and are more rehabilitative than punitive in their philosophy. Each student has an opportunity to appeal the decision reached to the next highest student Judicial board. Appeals of Central Student Court cases are heard by the Faculty Senate Committee on Student Discipline.
CENTRAL STUDENT COURT is an appellate board holding jurisdictional power over other student judicial groups. The nine justices hear appeals of decisions of other boards. They also may hear cases involving violations of University regulations by student organizations or groups of students. Members must have at least sophomore standing and a minimum of a 2.5 cumulative grade- point-average.
STUDENT TRAFFIC COURT is composed of nine members who render decisions on cases concerning violation of campus traffic rules and regulations or other offenses involving the use of an automobile.
THE ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS JUDICIAL BOARD is comprised of eight women, representing residence hall, sorority, and commuter women. Its jurisdiction includes major violations of University regulations by women students and appellate cases from residence hall judicial boards.
MEN'S LEAGUE JUDICIAL BOARD is responsible for hear- ing serious violations of University regulations and cases involving repeated incidents of socially unacceptable conduct on the part of

The committee sponsors the Big Sister-Brother program and social and cultural events, all of which are designed to bring foreign students into meaningful relationships with Maryland students. Participation in this group offers rewarding and memor- able experiences.
41
Panhellenic Council
The Panhellenic Council which operates as the governing body for the entire sorority system organizes various inter-sorority projects. Panhell, in conjunction with the faculty and administration, make rules concerning sorority membership, selection, pledging and initiation. Two delegates from each of the eighteen sorority houses on campus comprise the Panhell organization.
Sorority rush is divided into several rounds of parties. Each rushee is required to visit each sorority during the initial open houses. After attending the Set of Eight and Set of Four parties, the rushee limits her selection to two houses in the preference Teas. Rushing culminates in a period of pledging during which the student strives for the 2.2 average required for initiation.
Inter-Fraternity Council
Each fraternity house has one delegate to IFC, the coordinating body of the fraternity system. The function of the Council is to coordinate the activities of the 24 houses and to promote the welfare of fraternities as a group. Stag and dated parties comprise much of the fraternity system's formal rush. Rush ends in pledging, a period during which the new member learns about the fraternity and works to earn the 2.0 academic average required for initiation. While only a few sororities hold informal rush in the spring, the fraternity system holds both an informal and a formal rush at this time.
Residence Hall Council
Residence Hall Council, the governing system coordinating the many campus residence halls, serves as the link between dorm residents and the SGA.
42
Each dormitory sends a representative to its particular Area Council. The president and vice-president of the Area Councils sit on the RHC Executive Council. In turn, the president and vice- president of RCH hold positions on the SGA cabinet.
Some of the activities of RHC include a workshop for new officers, Variety Night and a Presents featuring nationally known entertainment. Freshmen can join its various committees by getting in contact with the dorm president or representative to the Area Council.
Simon and Garfunkel appeared as part of the RHC Presents last spring.
43
Men's League
Representing the male students at the University, the Men's League handles regulations pertaining to all men and promotes the educational, cultural, social, and athletic welfare of all under- graduate men. Like AWS, its female counterpart, Men's League coordinates various activities such as the intramural program and the Senior Awards Banquet.
Associated Women Students
Better known as AWS, this organization was established to unify all women students. It functions throughout the year to promote self-government in women's residence halls and sororities. It fosters academic excellence and community service programs as well as other special activities like the Christmas Choral Program in the Chapel, the Big Sister and Commuter Affiliation Programs, the Women's Seminar Series, and the Bridal Fair,
The Women's Seminar Series is a week long symposium of lectures, films, discussions and other programs devoted to con- temporary controversial topics.
The organization of AWS is based upon election and appoint- ment. The officers and class representatives are elected in the spring by a vote of all women students. Later, in the fall, the officers appoint the chairman of the individual committees. These students make up the AWS Executive Council — the actual representative government of AWS.
The first activity sponsored by AWS in the fall is the Big Sister Program. Each freshman woman and transfer student re- ceives her own Big Sister, a specially chosen upper-classman who introduces and explains the problems, privileges, and opportunities, that are associated with the University.
In the spring AWS sponsors its newest event, The Women's Seminar Series.
In addition, for the prospective bride, AWS in conjunction with Bride and Home Magazine presents the Bridal Fair. Displays of household and personal items such as trousseau fashions, china, crystal, silver, and kitchenware are presented. The fashion show is the highlight of the evening featuring clothes for the mother of the bride, attendants, and that all -important gown and trousseau for the bride herself.
45
University Commuters' Association
The University Commuters' Association offers the commuter many opportunities to become involved in campus life. The UCA serves as a link between the commuter and residents of dorms and Greek houses as well as enabling him to become active in student government, campus politics, and student organizations.
The Commuters' Den and the UCA Office are located in the basement of the Student Union. The Den provides a convenient place for commuters to meet and relax between classes.
The UCA sponsors many social and cultural events throughout the year. The annual Playboy Ball is the most important dance of the fall semester. Other activities include casual dances, Friday afternoon coke dates, and the annual Homecoming float-building party. The Spring Banquet for installation of officers is a highlight of the spring semester.
Carpools for commuters are arranged at the beginning of each semester in the Den. The UCA also sponsors a Weekend Trip Service for students wishing to share expenses or driving with others.
The UCA is involved in all facets of University life. Not only does the UCA offer social events, intramural teams, tutoring services, and exam files, it also offers the many friendships formed with other commuters in the Den.

A Word To The Wise
Now you're in. Your classes are scheduled and your books are bought. But to feel a true part of the University community, there is one subject yet to be considered — extracurricular activities.
To the members of the Class of 1971 who will be quick to take advantage of the diversified program of activities, "on the hill" assimilation into campus life will come easy.
In the fall semester, all organizations send out a campus-wide search for enthusiastic newcomers. Publications, professional groups, special interest clubs, and student government committees extend a hearty welcome to all freshmen seeking activities.
Activities must be approached from the beginning of the college career and should be geared to the student's own particular interests. By becoming active in one or two activities in the freshman year, a student lays the foundation for key positions as an upperclassman.
You're here, of course, "to concentrate on the books" but delaying your participation in activities will only hinder any chances for advancement later on in your college career. Statistics have proved "that the students who find college the most difficult are not those with too many activities, but those with too much in- activity."

Political Parties on Campus
There are two llniversity political parties: Old Line and Free State. Each party holds a convention to nominate and support candidates for SGA, AWS, Men's League, and class offices. Dor- mitories, Greek houses and commuters have representation in each party.

. . , For the Professional Future
Professional organizations are helpful both to those who have and those who have not decided on their career. Professional groups provide the opportunity to meet other students with similar vocational interests. They also provide the opportunity to gain an additional dimension of education. By showing the various facets involved in a career choice the members of the professional groups are helped to decide at an early stage of their career development, exactly which aspect of a particular profession they prefer.
For those who do not have a definite career in mind the meetings sponsored by professional groups offer the opportunity to learn about various professional areas of interest, as well as the best method of preparation for future career success. While the professional organizations differ in degrees of activity, national affiliation and academic requirements, their professional orientation and academic emphasis provide a firm basis for their usefulness in career planning. Listed below are professional fraternities, sororities and clubs that are members of the Council of Professional Organizations. The Council was formed to strive for a unified body of professional groups, to act as a channel of communication between these groups and to improve the academic and professional climate of the Univer- sity. Those students who wish further information on any of the following groups may contact the SGA Office (ext. 2801). AGRICULTURAL STUDENT COUNCIL coordinates the activities of the various clubs and organizations of the College of Agriculture.

Maryland Athletics
Football
Bob Ward is the new football coach at Maryland but Coach Ward is not new to Maryland football. Maryland's first Ail-American, he hopes to instill this same winning spirit in his players. One of his first orders of business was to move the football team under one roof which will hopefully mean higher grades and stronger unity. Al Pastrana who set passing records last season will be leading the Terp attack this year aided by an improved running game. The first home game of the year will be on October 7 against Syracuse at Byrd Stadium.
Cross Country and Track
In cross country, Coach Jim Kehoe (22nd season) had another undefeated season in dual meets (6-0) and won the ACC Champion- ship for the third straight year with Milt Mathews showing out- standing running form. In indoor track. Maryland was undefeated in dual meet competition, earning an ACC Championship for the twelfth straight year. Jim Lee, spring star, was the IC4A Champion in the 60 yard dash. In outdoor track, Maryland was also undefeated in dual meets making them ACC Champions for the eleventh straight year and IC4A Champions. Coach Kehoe named Frank Costello as a "world class performer" after his record 7T' high jump mark. He again cited Jim Lee as outstanding due to his performance in the 220 yard event in which he took third place in the NCAA.
Wrestling
William "Sully" Krouse, leader of the "Krousemen," has guided his wrestling team to a perfect record. In Maryland's fourteen years in the ACC the Grapplers have been champions every year. This year should be no exception as last year's star-studded team was dominated by many underclassmen. Outstanding last year and returning for more action are Keith Billotte (130)', Gobel Kline (152), Garry Blood (167) and Howard Zachmann (HVW). This year Maryland will be trying to regain national ranking as it meets some of the nation's top teams.
Soccer
Last year, as in the past 22 years, Maryland was named Conference Champion in soccer. Especially interesting was the fact that the entire starting team was composed of sophomores. Coach Doyle Royal expects an even stronger team next year due to the return of Guy Fraiture who missed last year and three outstanding freshmen: Laurence L. Ruhs, Peter Milhado, and Ali Kadaster. The two big men to watch this year will be AU-American Alvaro Bitten- court and Rufus Wallace as Maryland hopes to keep its stranglehold on the ACC Championship.
67
Lacrosse
Under the tutelage of offensive Coach John Howard and defensive Coach Rennie Smith, the Maryland Stickmen hope to rank among the top three teams in the nation if not to capture outright the National Championship. This year's team should have an exceptionally strong mid-field since twelve returning lettermen will fill these positions. The attack positions were hurt by the loss of AU-Americans Jack Heim and Allen Lowe but still figure to be formidable with returning lettermen Steve La Vaute and Jerry Breslee. Starring defensively are Norman "Hutch" Vander Schuyt and Jack Dailey. Maryland expects stiff competition from always strong Army, Navy, and Johns Hopkins.
Swimmino;
&
"Mr. Swimming" is Coach Bill Campbell who last year coached the Swimming Terps to a fine 11-2 record and third place in the ACC Championships. This year's team will be led by seniors Bruce Alston (Freestyle), Doug Springer (Breaststroke) and Wayne Pawlowski (Breaststroke). Maryland also has four outstanding juniors returning; Morris Spitzer (Freestyle), Mike Golub (Free- style), Dave Heim (Distance Freestyle) and Jim Martin (Butterfly). Two outstanding freshmen, Jack Levenson and JoeReid (co-captains) , will be valuable additions to the team. The high point of last season came when Maryland beat Navy for the fifth straight year. This was Coach Campbell's 100th victory and he celebrated it by doing a one and one-half front flip with a one-half twist off the high board, fully clothed !
Basketball
When H. "Bud" Millikan stepped down from his post as varsity basketball coach at the end of last season, it marked the end of a seventeen-year era. Frank Fellows, the man named to succeed Millikan, is expected to preserve some of the Miflikan brand of basketball. A hot-shot guard under Millikan during his playing days, and, for the last seven years his right-hand man as assistant coach. Fellows will take over a varsity squad with a 11-14 record. While he will depend on returnees Pete Johnson, Bill Jones, and Rick Drescher, holdovers from Millikan's last varsity squad, his "biggest" help should come from his sophomores. At (i'T\ sophomore Will Hetzel will be the tallest member of the squad. Hetzel led his fresh- man team in scoring and rebounding and could be the best at Mary- land since the days of Gary Ward. Along with Hetzel, Tom Milroy and Homer Warren will move up from last year's undefeated frosh team to fight for starting spots.
69
Baseball
Led by the hitting of all-ACC outfielder Jack Hetrick plus one of the toughest pitching staffs in the conference, Coach Jack Jackson's varsity baseball team will be strong contenders for the conference pennant this spring. Tom Bradley, Mark Harris, George Manz, Mike Herson and Phil Corddry compose a mound corps outstanding in speed, control and experience.
Tennis
The last time Maryland won the ACC Championship was in 1964, but Coach Doyle Royal thinks this year's team is capable of winning the title because of returning lettermen Rich Harrington, Frank Kready, John Sheaffer, and Dave Werchen. Coach Royal expects good performances as well from Fulton Liss and Ray Buckluw, both ineligible last year. The ACC Championships will be played here on the 4, 5, and 6th of May. Maryland will also co-host the Annual Cherry Blossom Tournament held here in March.
Golf
The golf team, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Frank Cronin has never had a losing season since its formation in 1946. Teams faced by the squad include Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Virginia, Clemson, Dartmouth, Princeton, and George- town. Terp squads of previous years have received recognition as ACC Champions and have placed players on the Ail-American teams.
Intramurals
The intramurals program offers everyone an opportunity to participate in athletics and to develop sportsmanship, leadership, and team spirit.
70
Coach Jim Kehoe coordinates one of the largest intramural programs in the country. Last year, over 10,000 people participated in team sports such as basketball, bowling, football, softball, swim- ming, and volleyball. Individual sports including badminton, and wrestling are also available.
Intramurals are open to Greeks and independents in three respective leagues — the fraternity, open, and dorm league.
Women's Recreational Association
The Women's Recreational Association is composed of all undergraduate women who automatically become members when they matriculate. This student organization is governed by elected officers and representatives from the dormitories, sororities, and the com- muters. Although organized for the purpose of sports, the WRA provides an opportunity for leadership through committee chair- manships and group participation.
Any freshman who loves sports but has little spare time should participate in the intramural program. The WRA offers archery, badminton, tennis, pingpong, volleyball, basketball, and a swimming marathon at various times throughout the year. Women also compete against various colleges in such sports as hockey, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, swimming, and volley ball. Some of the schools in the competition are American, George Washington, Trinity, Mary- mount, and Gallaudet.
Interest groups sponsored by WRA provide instruction in tennis, ice skating, self-defense, and horseback riding. Affiliated clubs of WRA include: Aqualiners, Modern Dance, and Fencing. WRA also sponsors other events, the Freshman Picnic held during Freshman Orientation Week which attempts to interest the freshmen women in the WRA program, the Hockey, Tennis, Golf Sports Day held in the fall, and Spring Banquet during which trophies are given to the intramural winners and new members are inducted into Sigma Tau Epsilon, the WRA honorary.
71
Cheerleaders
The cheerleaders always perform at home football and basket- ball games as well as at some lacrosse and baseball games. Tryouts which are open to everyone except seniors are held the week preced- ing the last home football game.
Color Guard
Spirited and high-stepping describes the eight girls who form the color guard of the University marching band. These girls, complimented by four alternates, carry the Maryland flag as well as those of Atlantic Coast Conference rivals: Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wake Forest. Tryouts for a position on the color guard are held in the spring.
M-Club
