Guide  for  1961-62 


WELCOME  TO 

We  of  the  Dean  of  Women's  Office  bid  you 
welcome. 

Your  main  purpose  in  entering  the  Univer- 
sity is  to  acquire  an  education.  A  great  part 
of  this  you  will  get  in  the  classrooms  and  the 
Library,  from  professors,  books,  and  from  one 
another.  It  is  also  hoped  that  you  will  recog- 
nize and  take  advantage  of  the  extra-curricular 
offerings  of  the   University. 

Though  the  University  is  large  and  as  such 
may  seem  confusing  at  times,  there  are  a  great 
many  people  here — fellow  students,  faculty,  ad- 
ministrators and  stafT — who  are  personally  in- 
terested in  your  welfare  and  happiness  and 
will  be  pleased  to  be  of  help  if  you  will  let 
them   know  your  concerns. 

When  you  arrive  on  campus  you  will  be 
given  much  information  to  help  you  learn  your  way  around  our  community.  In 
addition,  regulations  applicable  to  all  students  are  set  forth  in  a  booklet  entitled 
University  General  and  Academic  Regulations.  The  catalog  of  the  College  in  which 
you  register  will  also  set  forth  certain  requirements  with  which  you  must 
become  familiar. 

Included  in  this  handbook  are  rules  and  bits  of  advice  from  two  campus  organiza- 
tions to  which  all  undergraduate  women  automatically  belong — the  Associated  Women 
Students  and  the  Women's  Recreation  Association.  AWS  is  the  student  government 
organization  through  which  the  women  largely  determine  the  social  rules  and  regula- 
tions by  which   they  live. 

WRA  oflfers  a  great  variety  of  sports  activities  which  will  not  only  prove  beneficial 
from  a  physical  standpoint,  but  will  also  enable  you  to  make  friends  with  others  who 
share  your  interests.  Each  organization  extends  to  you  an  invitation  to  participate — 
won't  you  accept! 

Remember,  this  is  now  YOUR  UNIVERSITY.  If  we  in  the  Dean  of  Women's 
Office  can  in  any  way  assist  you  in  taking  advantage  of  and  enjoying  all  that  is  here 
for  you,  please  give  us  the  privilege  of  doing  so.

itiative is  the  key  to  friendship,  culture, 
and  participation  in  self-government  and 
student  activities.  The  Associated  Women 
Students  is  composed  of  all  the  under- 
graduate women  at  Maryland  —  Greek 
and  Independent,  Daydodger  and  Dorm- 
dweller.  Our  existence  is  circular.  We 
are  organized  to  serve  you  and  in  return 
we  need  your  ideas,  talents,  and  enthusi- 
astic support.  Consider  yourself  an  im- 
portant part  of  AWS.  As  a  new  member 
of  AWS,  it  is  your  privilege  and  duty  to 
take  part  in  making  and  enforcing  the 
rules  by  which  the  women  students  at  Maryland  live. 

We  have  tried  to  anticipate  and  answer  your  questions  about  college  life. 
Do  you  have  more?  Feel  free  to  ask.  Now  that  we  have  met.  a  friendly 
"Hi"   will  serve  to  open  a  conversation  with  any  of  the  officers  of  A\VS.

AWS  President 


WELCOME  to  the  University  of  Marx- 
land  and  to  WRA!  The  Women's  Recrea- 
tion Association  is  a  student  organiza- 
tion which  plans  and  sponsors  many 
recreational  and  sports  activities.  It  is 
designed  to  meet  your  interests  and  is 
dedicated  to  making  your  college  years 
more  enjoyable.  All  of  you  belong  and 
may  participate  in  any  part  of  its  pro- 
gram. 

I   feel   that  participation   in  our  sports 

program  is  one  of  the  best  ways  of  keep- 

ing    healthy,    making    close    friends    and 

practicing  good  sportsmanship.    By  being 

active  in  WRA  you  can  become  a  vital  part  of  an  organization  that  gives 

every  Maryland  co-ed  the  opportunity  to  have  these  experiences.  . 

This  should  be  a  wonderful  year  for  WRA,  and  we  are  depending  on 
you  to  help  make  it  possible.  Remember.  WRA  is  YOUR  organization  and 
is  only  as  strong  as  your  interest  and  support.

WRA  President

'Small  service   is  true  service   while   it  lasts: 
Of  humblest  friends,  bright  creature!  scorn  not  one. 
The  daisy,  by  the  shadow  that  it  casts. 
Protects  the  lingering  dewdrop  from  the  sun."

SPECIAL  PROGRAMS  AND  EVENTS 

The  activities  and  programs  sponsored  by  AWS  are  varied  and  offer  many 
opportunities  for  leadership  experience,  participation,  enjoyment  and  view- 
ing. Perhaps  one  of  the  following  would  be  of  interest  to  you  now  or  in 
the  future. 

BIG  SISTER  PROGRAM 

Each  new  Freshman  woman  at  Maryland — whether  Dorm-dweller  or 
Daydodger — is  assigned  a  Big  Sister  who  will  try  to  answer  her  questions 
and  help  her  become  acquainted  wath  Maryland  customs.  During  Orienta- 
tion Week  you  will  attend  coke  dates  and  dinners  with  your  Big  Sister — 
during  the  year  we  hope  you  will  still  be  consulting  her  when  you  need  help. 

FRESHMAN  COUNSELING 

This  sei'x'ice  is  under  the  auspices  of  the  Counseling  Center  as  well  as 
AWS.  Those  who  serve  as  Counselors  take  a  course  in  which  they  learn 
how  to  help  you  solve  your  problems.  They  also  know  the  sources  for  aca- 
demic and  social  information  and  are  willing  to  help  with  difficulties  in 
these  areas  as  well  as  others. 

LEADERSHIP  WORKSHOP 

Working  in  cooperation  with  the  Men's  League,  this  group  invites  an 
outstanding  person  to  speak  to  them  on  leadership.  After  the  speaker,  dis- 
cussions are  held  on  such  topics  as  campus  problems,  SGA,  activities  versus 
leadership  and  many  others. 

CHRISTMAS  PAGEANT 

Groups  of  carolers  from  all  the  dormitories,  sorority  and  fraternity  houses 
meet  at  the  Chapel  for  the  Pageant  which  is  held  on  the  Chapel  steps.  The 
Pageant  includes  a  tableau  of  the  Christmas  story,  songs  by  the  Women's 
Chorus,  a  speaker,  and  the  lighting  of  Maryland's  Christmas  trees  by  the 
Dean  of  Women.  After  the  Pageant  the  Women's  Chorus  presents  a 
program  of  Christmas  music. 

BRIDAL  FAIR 

In  the  spring  a  young  girl's  fancy  lightly  turns  to  thoughts  of  a  bridal 
gown,  trousseau,  china,  crystal,  silver  and  everything  else  that  goes  to  make 
up  a  wedding.  Even  the  girls  who  are  not  planning  summer  weddings 
enjoy  the  displays  set  up  by  the  various  companies  and  the  style  show  of 

(8) 


exciting  fashions.  Brand  names  on  articlrs  displayrd  here  arc  easily  recog- 
nized as  the  best,  and  many  a  rather  reluctant  young  man  can  be  seen  mak- 
ing the  rounds  of  the  various  booths,  helping  his  girl  decide  what  they  want 
for  their  wedding. 

WOMEN'S  EMPLOYMENT  CONFERENCE 

This  service  is  an  invaluable  aid  to  graduating  senior  women  and  those 
seeking  summer  jobs.  At  the  two  teas  held  annually,  representatives  of  all 
types  of  employment  speak  and  inter\iew  interested  and  qualified  girls. 
A  style  review  of  appropriate  "work  clothes"  is  held  and  Miss  Future  Suc- 
cess— the  senior  woman  with  the  most  potential  for  being  a  success — is 
chosen. 

ORPHAN'S  PARTY 

This  is  an  annual  spring  event  sponsored  by  the  Associated  Women  Stu- 
dents and  the  Panhellenic  Council.  All  women  on  campus  are  welcome  to 
attend  and  help  entertain  the  orphans  of  the  Washington  area. 


HONORARIES 


Academic  success  and  participation  in  campus  activities  are  rewarded 
when  a  co-ed  is  tapped  into  one  or  more  of  the  following  honoraries  that 
recognize  outstanding  scholarship,  leadership  and  service  to  the  University. 
All  those  described  below  except  Phi  Kappa  Phi  are  solely  for  women.

OFFICIAL  AWS  RULES 


We  are  fortunate  to  be  able  to  participate  in  making  the  rules  and  regula- 
tions which  affect  dormitory  living.  The  following  pages  and  the  chart  on 
residence  hours  are  important.  You  will  be  held  responsible  for  knowing  these 
rules  and  must  be  able  to  pass  a  written  test  on  them. 


SIGNING  OUT  AND  IN 


Definition:  Signing  out  and  in  consists  of  recording  required  informa- 
tion on  individual  forms  at  the  residence  desk  upon  departure  from  the 
campus  at  any  time  and  from  the  residence  after  8  p.m.  and  upon  return. 
By  "Campus"  we  mean  the  area  including  the  University  buildings  and 
grounds,  sorority  and  fraternity  houses,  and  the  College  Park  commercial 
district. 


B.       Procedure: 

1.  Each  student  must  personally  sign  herself  out  and  in. 

2.  The  following  minimum  information  must  be  included: 

a.  Time   of  departure    ^according  to  the  official  dormitory  clock).

C.  Each  woman  is  on  her  honor  to  sign  out  correctly,  to  obey  the  University 
and  state  regulations  which  apply  to  conduct  even  if  signed  out  for  the 
weekend,  and  to  behave  with  consideration  and  politeness  wherever  she 
may  be.     It  is  essential  to  know  where  she  is  in  case  of  emergency. 


SPECIAL  SIGN  OUTS 

A.  Phoning  in  and  Leaving  La+e:  See  chart  on  pages  22  and  23  in  col-

go  through  the  campus  police.  If  a  student  does  not  return  to  the  dormi- 
tory, her  parents  and  the  campus  police  are  notified;  a  call  will  help 
to  avoid  much  worrv  and  confusion.

referred  by  them  to  the  Campus  Judicial  Board. 

C.  Penalties: 

1.  Penalties  vary  with  circumstances  but  generally  consist  of  revoking

QUIET  HOURS 


Quiet  hours  are  those  times  set  aside  in  each  residence  for  sleep  and  study. 
Without  them,  continuous  chaos  would  prevail.  Would  it  not  be  upsetting 
for  you  to  be  studying  for  a  big  exam  while  the  rest  of  the  floor  is  having  a 
pizza  party?  Be  considerate.  Keep  your  doors  closed  and  your  voices  low. 
Don't  type  from  midnight  to  8  a.m.  Radios  and  phonographs  should  be  turned 
off  at  midnight  also. 

Quiet  hours  will  be  enforced  by  the  residence  judicial  board  and  executive 
council. 

There  are  also  times  set  aside  and  referred  to  as  "noisy"  hours.  Considera- 
tion is  the  key  word  during  these  periods  also.  "Noisy"  hours  are  for  the  pur- 
pose of  study-breaking.  However,  it  should  still  be  quiet  enough  in  the  Dorm 
for  those  not  interested  in  taking  a  break  to  continue  studying.  Show  proper 
consideration  and  sometime  when  you're  trying  to  study  you'll  appreciate 
having  set  a  good  example.    (For  times  see  chart  on  pages  22  and  23). 


VISITORS 

Be  sure  you  know  just  when  your  beau  may  come  visiting — for  there  are 
definite  calling  hours.  If  you  don't,  it  can  prove  quite  embarrassing  to  that 
girl  who  gets  caught  in  her  pajamas  and  to  yourself.  (For  the  specific  hours 
see  the  chart  on  pages  22  and  23.) 

Men  callers  who  arrive  at  times  other  than  those  specified  may  wait  for 
their  dates  in  the  reception  hall  or  lobby  *but  no  longer  than  five  minutes) 
at  the  discretion  of  the  House  Director. 


(17) 


OVERNIGHT  GUESTS 

You  may  invite  guests  to  stay  overnight  on  Friday  and  Saturday  nights  and 
the  night  before  a  holiday  only  with  the  permission  of  the  House  Director. 
Daydodgers  may  stay  occasionally  for  some  University  function  if  there  is 
space  available  for  them  and  the  House  Director  gives  her  consent. 

If  you  are  planning  for  an  overnight  guest,  secure  a  guest  card  from  the 
House  Director  and  return  it  filled  out  together  with  the  guest  fee  24  hours 
prior  to  the  guest's  arrival.  The  guest  fee  is  fifty  cents  per  night  (one  dollar 
if  dormitory  linens  are  used).  No  guest  fee  is  charged  if  the  guest  is  a  resident 
of  another  campus  dormitory.  When  your  guest  arrives,  you  must  introduce 
her  to  the  House  Director  and  show  her  how  to  sign  in  and  out. 

Remember — you  are  responsible  for  your  guest,  infractions  of  the  rules  she 
commits  and  must  be  in  residence  during  her  stay.  She  is  allowed  the  same 
leave  permission  as  her  hostess  and  must  abide  by  the  closing  hours  and  other 
residence  regulations  such  as  signing  out  and  in  during  her  stay.  Arrange- 
ments for  guests  who  stay  more  than  a  few  days  must  be  made  through  the 
Dean  of  Women's  Office. 


VISITING  A  FRATERNITY 

Women  students  may  attend  only  those  functions  registered  on  the  University 
Social  Calendar  which  is  sent  to  all  residences  by  Friday  of  each  week.  Des- 
serts on  week  nights  may  last  until  8  p.m.  and  women  students  may  not  go  to 
fraternity  houses  during  intermissions  when  attending  campus  dances.  (For 
Calling  Hours  see  chart  on  pages  22  and  23.) 

The  housemother  or  an  approved  chaperone  must  be  present  at  all  times 
that  co-eds  are  in  the  house.  Before  a  member  may  bring  a  co-ed  into  the 
house,  he  must  obtain  permission  from  the  house  mother.  These  rules  are  for 
your  protection  and  good  reputation.  Please  obey  them  fully.  The  risk  of 
impulsive,  unwise  action  is  obvious. 


WOMEN  VISITORS  IN  MEN'S  RESIDENCES 


Women  are  not  per- 
mitted to  visit  the  men's 
dormitories  or  rooms  ex- 
cept at  special  registered 
parties  in  the  recreation 
room  or  living  room.  Par- 
ents and  relatives  desiring 
to  visit  residents  of  the 
dormitories  should  call  at 
the   dormitory   office. 


HOW  TO  DRESS 


Women  students  may  wear  Bermuda  shorts  or  tailored  slacks  in  the  lower 
level  of  the  Student  Union,  on  campus  and  in  the  College  Park  area  on  Satur- 
days only.  Active  sports  wear  of  any  kind  even  when  covered  by  a  coat  is 
never  allowed  in  the  Dining  Hall,  Library.  Classroom  Buildings.  Administration 
Buildings  or  Chapel.  The  immediately  preceding  statement  also  applies  to 
reception  halls  and  lobbies  during  men's  calling  hours,  although  sports  attire 
may  be  worn  in  the  recreation  room,  if  the  Dorm  Executive  Council  approves. 

Sports  wear  must  be  covered  by  a  long  coat  or  skirt  when  en  route 
to  physical  education  classes  or  to  buildings  or  courts  where  active  sports  are 
being  played,  except  on  Saturdays.  If  these  rules  are  not  strictly  adhered  to. 
our  Saturday  privileges  will  be  revoked.  We  feel  that  you  tend  to  act  like 
a  lady  if  you  are  dressed  like  one. 


SUN  BATHING 


You  may  sun  bathe  only  in  those  areas  set  aside  for  this  purpose  by  the 
Dean's  Office.  'Special  notices  are  sent.)  Dress  is  in  keeping  with  the  usual 
standards  of  good  taste. 


FIRE  DRILLS 

There  is  no  need  to  explain  why  we  must  have  fire  drills.  The  student  fire 
marshal  and  House  Director  of  each  residence  will  be  responsible  for  scheduling 
one  fire  drill  a  month.  Don't  gripe  and  complain  when  that  bell  goes  off.  It's 
for  your  own  safety.  When  the  time  comes,  leave  your  light  on  and  your  door 
open,  put  on  a  long  coat  and  outdoor  shoes,  then  walk  quickly  and  quietly  to 
your  assigned  exit  for  roll  call.     You  may  return  when  the  signal  is  given. 


GENERAL  REGULATIONS 

Entrances  and  Exits — Because  so  many  of  the  residences  are  situated  close  to 
the  street,  all  doors  except  the  front  door  must  be  kept  locked  from  8  p.m. 
to  8  a.m.     This  is  essential  for  your  safety. 

Reception  Halls  and  Lobbies  may  be  used  for  study  after  closing  hours  with 
the  House  Director's  consent.  Although  it  is  late  there  will  be  no  smoking 
and  the  room  must  be  kept  tidy  or  the  privilege  will  be  withdrawn.  Remem- 
ber— pull  down  the  shades! 

The  lobby  and  recreation  room  are  public  so  be  discreet  and  avoid  embarrass- 
ing others  and  yourself  by  your  behavior.  Remember — you  are  also  responsi- 
ble for  the  conduct  of  your  guests. 

Smoking  Regulations  are  employed  for  safety  and  not  just  to  inconvenience 
or  annoy  you.  Smoking  is  permitted  everyw^here  in  the  residence  except  the  lob- 
by, is  avoided  while  walking  across  campus  and  is  prohibited  in  the  classrooms. 

(19) 


Pets  are  fine  at  home  but  have  no  place  at  college.  Don't  feed  that  stray 
cat,  he'll  fall  in  love  with  your  dorm  and  sneak  in  at  every  chance.  He  can't 
stay,  so  why  encourage  him? 

Telephone  Calls  may  be  received  from  8:00  a.m.  to  10:00  p.m.  on  Mondays, 
to  10:30  p.m.  on  other  week  nights  and  to  11:00  p.m.  on  weekends.  Emergency 
calls  will  be  transmitted  by  the  University  Police  who  cover  the  switch  board 
at  all  other  times.  You  may  call  from  the  dorm  extension  phones  to  other 
campus  extensions  before  4  p.m.  Keep  your  neighbor  in  mind  and  limit  the 
conversation  to  five  minutes — she  wants  to  hear  from  her  boyfriend  too. 

House  and  Room  Regulations — As  the  homemakers  of  tomorrow,  we  should 
practice  tidiness.  Beds  must  be  made  and  rooms  in  order  by  10  a.m.  for  room 
inspection  by  the  House  Director.  Don't  wait  until  you  hear  the  rattle  of  her 
keys  to  start  scrambling  around  the  room.     A  neat  rooms  breeds  a  neat  person. 

A  dormitory  House  Committee  with  the  House  Director  may  set  up  house 
rules  and  endorse  those  required  by  the  University.  These  are  for  safety  and 
health  reasons. 


1.  Food  and  dishes  may  not  be  taken  from  the  Dining  Hall. 

2.  Coke  bottles  must  be  returned  to  the  cases  provided  for  this  purpose. 

3.  The  only  electrical  appliances  allowed  in  rooms  are  fans,  hairdryers,  electric 

clocks,  radios,  and  phonographs. 

4.  After  dark  when  lights  are  on,  shades  must  be  drawn. 

5.  The  dormitory  is  not  a  tenement  house!     Calling  or  talking  from  windows 
is  taboo. 

6.  Food  may  not  be  kept  on  window  sills. 

7.  Food  kept  in  rooms  must  be  placed  in  metal  containers  with  tight  covers.

Safety — Although  we  like  to  think  everyone  is  trustworthy,  many  strangers 
gain  access  to  the  University  residences.  Lock  the  door  to  your  room  when  you 
leave.  It's  worth  the  small  effort  (perhaps  in  gold).  The  University  cannot  be 
responsible  for  the  loss  or  theft  of  articles. 

Never  walk  alone  on  campus  after  dark — you  are  risking  your  life  and  safety. 

SPECIAL  NOTE: 

AWS  has  been  lenient  with  the  closing  hours.  Any  woman  student  who 
leaves  her  residence  hall  after  closing:  hours  is  liable  to  get  into  much  trouble 
and  perhaps  lose  the  privileg:e  of  living  in  the  dormitory  .  .  .  and  it  is  a  privi- 
lege! If  you  put  your  best  into  this  wonderful  opportunity,  you  will  love  it. 
We  hope  that  you  will  always  remember  Maryland  and  the  friends  you  make 
here  with  happiness!     It's  up  to  you! 

USE  OF  ALCOHOLIC  BEVERAGES 

Possession  or  use  of  alcoholic  beverages,  including  light  wines  and  beer,  is 
prohibited  on  the  campus  or  in  any  fraternity  or  sorority  house  or  at  any 
function  recognized  by  the  University  as  a  student  organization. 

According  to  Maryland  state  law  it  is  unlawful  to  sell  or  furnish  any  alcoholic 
beverages  at  any  time  to  a  minor  under  twenty-one  years  of  age  either  for  his 
own  use  or  for  the  use  of  any  other  person.  In  Prince  George's  County  it  is 
unlawful  for  any  person  under  the  age  of  twenty-one: 

1.  To  enter  the  premises  of  a  holder  of  a  class  B  Beer,  Wine,  and  Liquor  license 
between  the  hours  of  10  p.m.  and  6  a.m.  unless  in  the  immediate  company  of 
one  of  his  parents  or  legal  guardian; 

2.  to  enter  the  premises  of  the  holder  of  a  Class  B  or  Class  D  Beer  or  Beer  and 
Light  Wine  license,  except  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  or  consuming  food, 
unless  accompanied  by  a  parent  or  guardian; 

3.  to  purchase  alcoholic  beverages  or  misrepresent  his  age  to  obtain  alcoholic 
beverages  or  to  have  them  on  or  about  his  person.

HELPFUL  HINTS 


HIT  THE  BOOKS 

First  and  ioreniost.  ihv  Uni\crsity  ol  Maryland  is  a  community  for 
learning.  During  your  years  here,  much  of  your  time  will  be  devoted  to 
developing  yourself  academically,  as  well  as  socially.  Set  up  a  study  sched- 
ule and  stick  to  it.  Then  there  will  be  hours  for  extra-curricular  activities 
and  social  life. 

GET  THAT  FRIENDLY  FEELING 

The  University  of  Maryland  is  a  huge  place  with  students  coming  from 
all  over  the  world.  Be  friendly  and  interested  in  everyone  around  you,  for 
you  will  cherish  these  friendships  during  your  college  life  and  afterwards. 

GROUP  LIVING  TAKES  WORK 

Dormitoiy  life  is  fun.  but  large  group  living  calls  for  extra  consideration 
of  others.  One  of  your  first  and  most  important  friends  is  your  roommate. 
Respect  her  ideas  and  she'll  return  your  cooperation  with  true  friendship. 
Remember — those  walls  are  thin — gossip  and  loud  conversations  carry  far. 

YOUR  COLLEGE  ROOM 

Your  room  will  probably  contain  beds,  desks,  straight  chairs,  a  floor  lamp, 
dressers  and  closets.  You'll  need  to  bring  your  own  blankets,  pillows,  irons, 
extension  cords,  desk  lamps,  etc.  You  may  bring  your  own  towels  and  sheets 
or  rent  them  from  the  laundry  service.  As  for  curtains,  spreads,  and  rugs — 
why  don't  you  wait  and  plan  the  colors  and  style  with  your  new  roommate? 
Washing  machines,  dryers,  and  ironing  boards  can  be  found  in  the  laundry 
rooms  of  each  dorm. 

"BIG  SIS"  CAN  HELP 

Your  Big  Sister  in  the  dorm  can  be  a  helping  hand.  Do  not  hesitate  to 
confide  in  her  and  ask  her  advice.  She  can  be  of  invaluable  assistance,  par- 
ticularly during  orientation,  registration,  and  the  first  hectic  days  of  classes. 

ANOTHER  HELPING  HAND 

The  student  counselors  in  your  dorm  have  been  trained  to  help  you  with 
some  of  the  more  baffling  little  problems  that  often  turn  up.  Whether  it's 
dates  or  grades,  or  what  to  do  in  general,  you  will  find  them  sympathetic 
listeners.     With  someone  to  talk  with,  your  problem  is  half  gone! 

FORGET  YOUR  CAR 

Due  to  the  inadequate  parking  facilities,  it  would  be  advisable  not  to  bring 
your  car  on  campus  unless  it  is  a  physical  or  financial  necessity.  You  will 
soon  find  that  tires  and  text  books  don't  mix. 

(24) 


TAKE  YOUR  PICK 

The  panorama  of  activities  is  so  broad  and  varied  that  your  every  interest 
and  talent  can  be  satisfied.  But  don't  spread  yourself  too  thin.  Join  in  ac- 
tivities sparingly  your  first  semester  as  you  adjust  to  your  studies  and  college 
living.     The  wise  and  capable  co-ed  does  a  few  things  well. 

MIND  YOUR  P's  AND  Q's 

Most  of  you  know  what  to  do  and  when  to  do  it,  so  just  a  few  special 
words  of  college  etiquette  advice.  Stand  up  whenever  a  dean,  housemother, 
or  older  woman  enters  the  room,  especially  a  guest.  Always  introduce  your 
guest  to  the  housemother.  Avoid  chewing  gum  in  public,  smoking  while 
walking  across  campus,  embarrassing  yourself  and  others  by  your  conduct 
in  the  Dining  Hall  and  at  parties  with  public  displays  of  aflfection.  Love 
is  grand,  but  .  .  . ! 

GO  TO  CHURCH 

An  important  aspect  of  college  life  is  a  faith  to  live  by  and  a  belief  in  God. 
Our  chapel  on  campus  is  available  for  students  of  all  denominations.  On 
Sunday,  Catholic  masses  are  held  at  8:00  a.m.,  9:30  a.m.  and  12:30  p.m. 
An  Interdenominational  Protestant  service  is  held  at  11:00  a.m.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  chapel,  there  are  many  other  churches  in  the  College  Park  area 
waiting  to  have  you  in  their  congregations. 

WHAT  TO  WEAR 

The  question  of  clothes,  ahvays  a  big  one,  is  easily  solved  at  Maryland 
University  where  the  dress  is  traditionally  casual.  To  alleviate  the  closet 
problem  and  to  fit  in  best  with  other  Maiylanders,  bring  a  limited,  but  ad- 
justable wardrobe.  For  classes  most  girls  prefer  light  cottons  when  it's  warm 
and  skirts  with  sweaters  or  blouses  in  the  fall  and  winter.  For  casual  fool- 
wear  tennis  shoes,  loafers,  and  saddle  shoes  with  ankle  or  knee  socks  arc 
worn.  Casual  wear  is  preferred  at  basketball  games  and  neighborhood 
movies,  but  suits  or  wool  dresses  and  heels  are  appropriate  for  football 
games,  weekend  parties  and  trips  to  Washington.  Do  bring  a  few  dressy 
dresses  for  special  dates,  and  for  teas  and  church.  Gloves  and  hats  are  a 
must  for  the  latter  two.  To  a  Md.  U.  co-ed  the  word  "fomial"  means  any- 
thing from  a  cocktail  dress  to  a  full-length  gown,  so  bring  your  favorites. 
And  above  all  don't  forget  your  trench  coats  and  boots — unfortunately 
you  will  be  needing  them.     (Also  see  p.  19.) 

PUT  IN  A  NUTSHELL 

To  sum  it  all  up,  be  friendly,  study  hard,  be  considerate  and  discreet, 
participate  in  the  activities  that  interest  you  most.  Above  all,  don't  be 
afraid  to  ask  questions. 

Remember,  your  fellow  students,  your  housemother,  the  deans  and  the 
faculty  all  want  to  be  your  friends.  Make  the  most  of  your  college  life — 
you'll  never  regret  it.

WRA 


'We   can't   all   be   captains,  some   have   to   be   crew; 
There's  something  for  all   of  us   here; 
There's   big   work   to   do;   there's  lesser   to   do; 
And  the   task   we   must   do   is   near. 

'If  you   can't   be   a   highway,   then   just   be   a   trail, 
If  you   can't   be   a   sun,   be   a   star. 
It  isn't   by  size   that  you   win   or  you  fail — 
Be   the   Best   of  whatever    You   Are."

INTRAMURALS 


A  summer  of  fun  and  relaxation  .  .  .  but  now  it  is  time  to  concentrate 
on  those  books!  However,  WRA  ofTers  a  wonderful  program  of  intramural 
sports  for  recreation  between  study  hours! 

Each  season  brings  forth  some  popular  activities.  In  the  fall  tennis  singles, 
badminton  doubles,  archery,  bowling  and  ping  pong  offer  a  challenge.  The 
winter  season  brings  basketball,  volleyball  and  badminton  singles,  while 
springtime  produces  the  swimming  meet,  softball  and  tennis  doubles.  CO-ED 
volleyball  and  bowling  tournaments  will  be  planned  in  cooperation  with  the 
Men's  Intramural  Department. 

Intramural  tournaments  are  arranged  on  an  organizational  level;  you 
play  for  your  dormitory,  sorority  or  the  Daydodgers.  Your  WRA  repre- 
sentative, in  dorm  or  sorority  meetings,  will  keep  you  informed  of  the  team 
and  individual  sport  schedules. 


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi 


A  SPORT  FOR 


EVERY  GIRL 


AND 


EVERY  GIRL 


IN  A  SPORT 


The  Gamma  Phi's  try  to  stop 
a  DG  basket  in  an  intra- 
mural game. 


Since  the  Daydodgers  have  a  more  difficult  time  seeing  each  other,  their 
representative  will  call  a  meeting  before  each  team  sport  tournament  to 
get  organized.  Individual  sports  enthusiasts  may  obtain  entry  blanks  either 
from  their  WRA  representative  or  the  VVRA  office  in  Preinkert  Field  House. 
That  is  all,  and  you  will  be  notified  when  to  play. 

Several  of  the  dorms  and  sororities  assist  with  the  intramural  program 
by  donating  the  trophies  which  are  awarded  to  the  tournament  wmners  at 
the  annual  Spring  Banquet.  The  tournament  managers  are  usually  mem- 
bers of  these  "sponsoring"  groups.  A  trophy  must  be  won  three  consecutive 
years  to  become  a  permanent  possession. 

Dress  for  intramurals  is  CASUAL.  However,  tennis  shoes  in  the  gym 
and  bowling  shoes  at  the  alleys  are  always  worn.  Equipment  for  practice 
or  individual  activity  may  be  checked  out  from  Preinkert  Field  House  Mon- 
day through  Friday  from  4:00  to  5:15  p.m. 

(31) 


The  swimming  pool  in  Prcinl^ert  is  open  from  4:00  to  5:15  on  Monday, 
Wednesday,  Thursday  and  Friday  afternoons  and  on  Wednesday  nights 
from  6:30  to  8:00.     Bring  self  and  cap.     Suits  and  towels  will  be  supplied. 

GO-RECREATIONAL  swimming  is  held  at  Cole  Activities  Building  on 
Friday  nights  from  7:30  to  9:30  and  on  Sundays  from  1:00  to  5:30  and 
7:30  to  9:30  p.m.     Bring  self,  cap  and  bathing  suit  of  course! 

Perhaps  most  important  in  WRA  is  the  fact  that  you  do  not  have  to  be 
an  expert  to  take  part.  The  emphasis  of  the  intramural  program  is  on  FUN 
and  the  participation  of  everyone — not  on  winning  and  the  participation  of 
only  the  more  highly  skilled.  You  are  encouraged  to  try  your  hand  at  any 
activitv.  Be  seeinsf  vou!

ANNUAL  SPRING  BANQUET 


Every  spring  WRA  climaxes  its  year's  activities  with  the  traditional  ban- 
quet. At  this  time  the  newly  elected  WRA  officers  are  installed,  Sigma 
Tau  Epsilon  taps  its  new  members,  and  the  tournament  trophies  are  award- 
ed. The  culmination  of  these  activities  is  the  eagerly  awaited  presentation 
of  the  WRA  Participation  Cup.  Besides  being  an  event  for  these  purposes, 
the  banquet  also  presents  an  opportunity  for  much  enjoyment  and  hilarity 
as  the  humorous  events  of  the  past  year  are  reviewed  and  laughed  about. 

Under  the  chairmanship  of  Loudell  Insley,  the  May,  1961.  Banquet  was 
held  at  the  Langley  Park  Hot  Shoppe.  Miss  Bertha  Adkins,  highlighted 
the  evening  with  her  address  about  the  American  woman  and  recreation. 
Miss  Adkins.  the  new  Headmistress  of  Foxcroft  School  in  Virginia,  has  had 
the  distinction  of  being  the  first  woman  Under  Secretary  of  the  Department 
of  Health,  Education,  and  Welfare.  As  Miss  Adkins'  schedule  is  quite  busy, 
WRA  was  pleased  and  honored  to  have  her  speak  to  the  group. 

In  her  speech  Miss  Adkins  commended  WRA  and  its  officers  for  their 
contributions  to  the  field  of  recreation.  She  pointed  out  that  in  our  modern 
competitive  world  it  is  increasingly  important  for  women  to  develop  friendly 
competitive  spirits  so  that  they  may  better  enjoy  life.  This  is  a  diflFerent 
idea  from  the  one  held  in  many  other  countries  in  which  a  regimented 
competitive  spirit  is  developed.  Miss  Adkins'  speech  inspired  the  audience 
to  continue  encouraging  everyone  to  participate  in  WRA  activities  regard- 
less of  her  abilities  in  a  sport. 

Everyone  who  has  participated  in  WRA  is  welcome  at  the  banquet.  We'll 
be  expecting  you  this  spring! 


Miss   Bertha    Adkins,    former   Under   Secretary  of  the   Department  of  Health,   Education  and    Welfare 
and    the    new    Headmistress   of   Foxcroft    School,    gives   her  address   at   the   May,    1961,   WRA    Banquet. 


AFFILIATED  CLUBS 


Two  performing  groups  are  affiliated  with  ^\'RA — Modern  Dance  and 
Aqualiners.  These  clubs.  OPEN  TO  BOTH  MEN  AND  WOMEN,  add 
to  the  variety  of  the  AVRA  program  and  to  your  enjoyment  either  as  a  par- 
ticipant or  as  a  receptive  viewer. 

AQUALINERS 

Do  you  enjoy  swimming^  If  so.  Acjualiners  is  the  club  for  you!  If  you 
are  a  fairly  strong  swimmer  and  can  learn  new  skills  quicklv.  there  is  a  place 
for  you. 

Last  year  was  mainly  one  of  reorganization  and  setting  up  the  new  tr}'- 
out  system.  Demonstrations  were  gi\en  for  nearby  high  schools  as  well  as 
for  the  University  campus.  Plans  are  being  made  for  similar  demonstra- 
tions for  1961-62  to  be  climaxed  with  a  big  water  pageant  in  the  spring. 
The  numbers  are  choreographed,  and  the  scenery  and  costumes  are  designed 
and  made  by  the  club  members.  Practices  will  be  held  eveiy  Tuesday  and 
Thursday  night. 

Come  out  and  join  the  area's  only  synchronized  swimming  group!

MODERN  DANCE 

"Interest  is  the  first  qualification"  for  nienihcrship  in  the  Modern  Dance 
Club,  and  it  gives  an  opportunity  lor  creative  expression  as  well  as  recrea- 
tion and  enjoyment. 

Those  with  little  or  no  experience  are  welcome  to  join  the  Beginning 
Group  at  6:00  p.m.  eveiy  Tuesday  to  learn  the  basic  techniques  and  con- 
struction ol  a  dance.  Participation  in  group  dances  and  helping  with  pub- 
licity, costumes  and  back  stage  w^ork  for  the  various  performances  arc  the 
main  activities  of  the  group.  The  Advanced  Group  meets  on  Tuesday 
evenings  at  7:00  and  selects  its  members  from  those  with  previous  experi- 
ence. 

The  Modern  Dance  Club  members  are  constantly  rehearsing  for  their 
many  programs  and  demonstrations.  Last  February  they  performed  at  the 
Fine  Arts  Festival  at  North  Carolina  State  College  in  Raleigh  and  in  March 
climaxed  the  year  with  their  Annual  Concert  on  campus.  This  latter  per- 
fonnance  was  repeated  at  Atlantic  City  at  the  National  Convention  of  the 
American  Association  for  Health.  Physical  Education  and  Recreation  and 
won  much  acclaim  for  the  Maryland  Group.  Some  of  the  members  took 
part  in  dances  presented  in  August  before  the  International  Congress  of 
Physical  Education  and  Sports  for  Girls  and  Women  held  in  Washington 
D.  C.  ^

DAYDODGERS 


WRA  PARTICIPATION  CUP 

The  presentation  of  the  WRA  Participation  Cup  at  the  annual  Spring 
Banquet  is  the  climax  of  the  year's  activities.  To  win  this  cup,  an  organi- 
zation must  have  been  active  in  most  of  the  events  sponsored  by  WRA 
throughout  the  year.  Participation  points  are  awarded  to  each  dormitory, 
sorority,  and  the  Daydodgers  for  taking  part  in  intramurals,  interest  groups 
and  affiliated  clubs.  Points  are  also  given  for  placing  in  the  tournaments, 
but  it  is  not  necessary  to  be  the  champion  in  order  to  win  the  cup. 

The  Daydodgers  pulled  quite  an  upset  this  spring  when  they  won  the 
honor  for  the  third  consecutive  year  and  RETIRED  the  12-year  old  cup. 
They  accumulated  421  points  with  a  wide  range  of  activities.  Nip  and  tuck 
most  of  the  way — until  the  Daydodgers  drew  out  in  front  at  the  close  of 
second  semester — was  Caroline  Hall  with  345  points.  Alpha  Chi  Omega 
took  third  place  with  296  points  and  Wicomico  Hall  was  fourth  with  261. 

There  wdll  be  a  new  Participation  Cup  this  year,  and  the  field  is  wide 
open.  The  Daydodgers  wish  each  organization  the  best  of  luck  for  1961-62 
but  warn  one  and  all  that  they  have  hopes  of  repeating  their  accomplishment.

Daydodgers  earn  points  toward  the  WRA  Participation  Cup.  Points  are 
awarded  whether  a  team  or  individual  wins  or  loses;  onlv  when  forfeits 
occur  are  points  subtracted. 


TEAM    SPORT    TOURNAMENTS

To    write    against    your    name. 


He    writes    not    that   you    won    or   lost 
But   how  you  played  the   game."
