On behalf of the Associated Women Students, it is my
pleasure and privilege to welcome all of you to the 1963-1964
year at the University of Maryland. May I say you are very
fortunate, for you have a wealth of experiences ahead of you.

AWS is an organization composed of every woman on
campus. In this capacity it encompasses all phases of campus
life and therefore is of utmost importance to the planning and
execution of policies concerning the woman student. AWS
has programs and activities to offer ranging from the social
and academic to the political and judicial spheres. The oppor-
tunity for your participation is free for the asking.

AWS is here to assist you, to lead you, and to guide you
toward the ultimate realization and fulfillment of your high-
est collegiate goals. Through AWS programs, with your
participation and support, we hope to build more mature,
self-confident, and well-rounded college women of today with
the character, leadership, and citizenship to serve them in the
future.

AW^S IS YOU

When you first
come to the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
you are most hkely
confronted with
new and different
experiences, both
academic and so-
cial: and, because
of the size of the
student body and of
the campus, you
may feel somewhat
removed from many
campus activities.
A\"\'S is your or-
ganization to help
you belong to the
campus. AWS is
YOU — it is all the
women students
here at Maryland.
Through AWS you
can participate in various activities and have a chance to meet many
college women on this campus and on others. You can develop and exert
leadership ability and have the opportunity to govern yourself through
the AWS judicial boards.

The purpose of this booklet is to introduce you to AWS. Information
Please attempts to let you know just what AWS does on this campus
and how you can participate in its activities.

THE ORGAXIZATIOX OF AWS is based upon election and appoint-
ment. The president and executi\"e council are elected from and by the
entire body of women students. On the residence level, executive coun-
cils are elected by the girls in each dormitory. The standing committees
and chairmanships of special programs are appointed ofhces and are
staffed entirely by interested women students.

When positions are available for these appointed offices, advertise-
ments are placed in the Diamondback, the school newspaper. You may
pick up an application in the Student Union, in the Dean of Woman's
office in the North Administration Building, or in your residence hall.
You may also find out more information by contacting one of the many
girls already active in AWS; she can tell what to do and whom to see.

SPECIAL EVENTS

The programs of AWS are numerous and varied. They offer many
opportunities for leadership, participation, and enjoyment. If you are
interested in working on any program, please contact the chairman.

BIG SISTER PROGRAM AND FRESHMAN COUNSELOR PROGRAM

An extra helping hand is extended by specially assigned upperclass-
men to all freshmen and transfer students who enter Maryland. The
dilemmas of a new school are explained so that all students may become
acquainted with the problems and privileges of a large university.
Whether you are a dorm-dweller or a commuter, the academic and social
information available is definitely beneficial. During Orientation Week,
Big Sister dinners and coke dates are arranged to help everyone to meet
each other.

Chairmen: Commuters — Janet Bode, Delta Gamma

Dormitories — Ruth Rathgeber, Montgomery West

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT

With the arrival of mistletoe, holly, and snowflakes, AWS and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity turn thoughts toward the more spiritual side
of Christmas with their programs of carols, excerpts from religious
works, and reading selections. Following the tableau of the Christmas
story and the benediction, students from all dormitories, sororities, and
fraternities go caroling throughout the campus, ending their singing
at President Elkins' home.

Chairman: to be appointed

HOUSE DIRECTORS' RECEPTION

"Getting to know you" might well be the theme of this AWS affair.
To promote more friendly relationships with the new and old house
directors, a gathering, such as a tea or card party, is sponsored each
year so that these "school-year mothers" may become better acquainted
with AWS.

Chairman: to be appointed

(8)

BRIDAL FAIR

Thoughts of orange blossoms and June weddings take precedence
over campus life in the spring when nationally known companies, in
conjunction with AWS, present displays of household goods and per-
sonal products — all appropriate for the soon-to-be bride. Trousseau
fashions, china, crystal, silver, kitchen ware, and other items are ar-
ranged in special booths for the interest of all.

Chairmen; Judy Favier, Delta, Delta, Delta

Jean DeGaston, Kappa Alpha Theta

ORPHANS' PARTY

Returning to the days "when we were a couple of kids," students
relive the carefree memories of their younger days while treating one
of the area's orphanages to a special party or outing with favors, re-
freshments, and games. In union with Panhellenic Council, sororities,
and dormitories, AWS makes special arrangements so that this event
will be a day to be remembered by all the children.

Chairman: Marcia Sibley, Alpha Chi Omega

For information about programs for which chairmen have not yet
been appointed, contact Claudia Miller, AWS president, Delta, Delta,

HONORARIES

Girls who have made outstanding contributions in some phase of Uni-
versity life are honored and recognized for their achievements by being
tapped by one or more of the following honoraries. These honoraries
recognize scholastic, social, leadership, and service accomphshments by
women in all four classes. With the exception of Phi Kappa Phi, all are
solely for women.

ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA

Alpha Lambda Delta offers an incentive to all freshman girls to main-
tain a high scholastic average. This group, composed of girls with a
3.5 average for their first semester or a 3.5 cumulative average for their
first year, sponsors a lecture series on campus and offers the only free
tutoring service for freshmen with the freshmen men's honorary. At
their annual spring banquet, this honorary installs its new pledges.

DIADEM

Just a year old this past spring, Diadem honors outstanding junior
women who have contributed to the University through scholarship
and extracurricular activities. Sophomore women are tapped in the
spring at the AWS Diadem Convocation. Diadem sponsors many events
throughout the year, but their major services include ushering at school
events and leading various groups which visit the University on tours.

(10)

PHI KAPPA PHI

Dedicated to the maintenance of unity and democracy in education,
this group is composed of seniors in the upper 10 St of their class and
from all schools of the University. Each year at the spring banquet
the graduating senior with the highest average receives a scholarship
from this honorary.

DIAMOND

Sorority women with records of outstanding leadership and service
to their sororities are eligible for membership in Diamond. Each sor-
ority may have three active junior or senior members. Tapping is held
each year at Harmony Hall and Interfraternity Sing. The members of
this honorary serve as hostesses at various campus events.

MORTAR BOARD

Excellence is the requirement for membership in Mortar Board, the
highest honor for a Maryland coed. Excellence in scholarship, leader-
ship, and service is recognized when eligible juniors are tapped at the
annual SGA Convention in the spring. Mortar Board sponsors the "Mum
Sale" during Homecoming weekend, entertains freshmen women with
a 3.0 average or above at a "Smarty Party," and sponsors a "Last Lec-
ture" series.

Mortar Board Mum Sale

LOOKING AROUND

Maryland's campus is
big and its size is enough
to scare any brave coed.
But don't let it get you
down. Since the campus
is as big as it is, there
is a lot which you can
enjoy. Here's a quick
look.

Each semester the Na-
tional Symphony p e r-
forms on campus. Folk
singing has become quite
a craze on college cam-
puses, and Maryland has
taken to hootenannies.
Anyone with an urge to
sing or listen or with an
instrument to pluck is
welcome. On the more
serious side, the music
department periodically
presents musical recitals
which anyone may at-
tend. The English department offers a series of lectures concerning
various aspects of literature. These lectures, delivered by members of
the department who are specialists in their field, prove to be stimulating
and educational.

You name it and the Student Union's probably got it! Five nights
a week the Student Union features movies-old and new. A brand new
bowling alley is waiting for student use. You can usually find one lec-
ture in a series covering a wide range of topics. Finally, a record hop
is held almost every week in the ballroom.

The big events of the year are always eagerly awaited and you'll find
them worth waiting for. The four class proms offer a night of escape
into a land of paper decorations, soft lights, and multiple forms of enter-
tainment. SGA cultural events entertain the student body periodically
throughout the year. Ferrante and Teicher and Miriam Makeba were
among the guest artists this past year. The Canadian Ballet will be one
performing group this coming year.

If you're ambitious and like to get into the thick of activities, Mary-
land's the place to do it. Committee memberships on the SGA, AWS,
or in your own class are open to everyone. Notices of vacancies in these
positions are published in the Diamondback along with information
about applications. Students with a flair for writing are eagerly wel-
comed by the newspaper, yearbook, and magazine staffs. Religious
groups are very active at Maryland and sponsor many group projects
in addition to their regular weekly meetings. There is always some-
thing to keep you busy but it's not always advertised, so if you don't
see it, ask!

"Everything educates, and so?ue things educate
jjH're tJuni others. Springtime educates, for ex-
iimlAi. So do sunsets, ivinters. poems, the ocean,
plays, hooks, sounds, sitiiations. people . . . '*

Harold Tavlor

The seer's crystal ball is not found in a dean's office, but I can hazard
a fair guess without it and see an exciting few years ahead for each one
of you! This guide book for freshmen, which has been worked on so
enthusiastically by girls who are looking forward to your coming, should
give you clues about the varied and wonderful life of a college woman.
We hope that it will inspire you to make the best use of the experience
of attending college which you so fortunately have been given.

Even if you use every minute of your four years to the fullest ad-
vantage, you will only have begun to learn all there is to know. The
truly educated person is always eagerly looking for new insights, deeper
knowledge, and more creative ideas; and he pursues knowledge as en-
thusiastically at seventy as he does at seventeen. Don't waste precious
time but take advantage of the wealth of learning which a large uni-
versity can offer. Become acquainted with your instructors and pro-
fessors, go to fireside chats and lectures, make time for concerts in
Ritchie Coliseum and art shows in the Student Union and plays at the
University Theater. The fabulous city of Washington is right on our
doorstep with its museums, art galleries, and theaters. Our own state
of Maryland is full of places which evoke the colorful history of colonial
days.

Your life as a student will be independent and constantly full of
choices. It is up to you whether you spend your free hours idly,
or whether you go exploring, take a walk, play tennis, listen to music,
argue about philosophy, help to plan an activity, or read something
beautiful or controversial or provocative. Attempt to branch out into
ways which will make life constantly more enriching and rewarding.

I hope that your years in a university will help you to become in-
creasingly aware of the value of honesty and integrity, kindness and
tolerance, generosity and compassion. Enhance your life with good
friendships, interesting activites, and intelligent studying. Every day
may not be rosy, but courage, patience, and time will solve most prob-
lems, and you will find that there are many places to go for help and
advice.

We are looking forward to welcoming you as the newest members
of the University of Maryland and wish you every success. Good luck'
