Foreword
10 THE CLASS OF 1952,
and all transfers, this is your book, your introduc-
tion to the University of Maryland. College life has
fluctuated considerably in the past few years. The
flood of veterans has noticeably subsided ; there are
^more women, although they are still greatly out-
numbered. The G. I. clothing hasn't worn out yet,
but most of its wearers have become firmly im-
planted as civilian students, mature, earnest, capable,
with a desire for education. True, college life is
settling down, but it can never afford to slip too
deeply into the abandonment which marked it in
the thirties. You are entering the University for
the first time and it is most im.perative that you
realize the responsibility of the educated person in
a society which apparently is always moving but
whose sense of direction does not always keep pace.
Seriousness of purpose need not be overdone. The
scholarship and the extracurricular activities can be
readily balanced with a thorough-going social life.
Remember that a University teaches not only inside,
but also outside of the classroom. Your efforts alone
will give you the most from both sources. Welcome
to our campus: make yourself at home, and good
luck!

A I^SSAGE FRCM THE PRESIDENT:
Few persons realize the width of the Jump between high school education and
university work until they take that jump. The greater freedom of University living,
the lack of restrictions of the home, the taking for granted by professors that the
high school student has suddenly become a man, with all of man's recognition of
responsibilities, combine to raalce the first semester of the JVeshman year perhaps the
most difficult of all four years of college.
New students will cone in contact with many things that they do not under-
stand. I'/hen they do, they should remember that their best friends are members of the
faculty and administrative officers, whose only objective is the welfare of students.
Every student in difficulty, who does not understand what he should do, ought to go
to any member of the faculty he may know, or to any administrative officer, to ask
questions - any number of questions that may be necessary to clear up difficiilties
that may exist.
University life is not the country-club existence that sone humorous
magazines depict, but is a dull, hard routine of work, in which men and T/omen give
long hours to achieve their ambitions. You have a long, hard road to travel, but
perseverence and a little common sense will bring you to its end successfully.
You have ly best wishes. Call upon us when you need help.
Sincerely
H. C. Byrd ^

Student Government
Message from S6A President
More than anything else, in welcoming you to our
campus, I want to emphasize the role which Student
Government will play in your college life and the
role which you should play in Student Government.
The SGA, through appropriations, indirectly
supervises nearly all student activities. Your par-
ticipation in these activities, publications, theatre,
music, social, is the immediate benefit you derive
from Student Government.
Further, your support of Student Government
may become even more concrete by participating
actively at the meetings of the Executive Council,
thereby assuming a direct interest in the manner in
which Student Government is conducted.
On behalf of the SGA then, I extend best wishes
for an instructive and stimulating stay at Maryland
to all of you. i ' c' u

Student Government Association
The Student Government Association,
of which every student is a member, is the official
representative body, bearing authority delegated to
it by the University's Administration. Most of its
leaders are elected from the student body with a few
selected, to aid in conducting student government,
from various organizations and honorary societies.
Elections take place in the spring.
The S.G.A. consists of three divisions: The Exec-
utive Council, the Men's League, and the Women's
League. The Council is the supreme governing
body, and the Leagues decide on and enforce all
campus regulations.
Student activities are controlled by the S.G.A. and
are financed for the most part by the activities fee
which is paid by all students in the University.
From this fee, the money is prorated to the various
activities, and the payment of this fee entitles a
student to attend all S.G.A. sponsored activities.
22
$. G. A. - - Continued
Records of each organization are kept by the ad-
ministration and are always open for inspection.
The actual work of S.G.A. is carried on by com-
mittees, the major ones are listed in the organiza-
tional chart. Students are invited to serve on these
various committees, generally under the chairman-
ship of a member of the Executive Council. Mem-
bership of the committees should be campuswide
and any student who wishes to work on behalf of
the student government is most earnestly urged to
do so. The only effective government is one in
which all the governed participate. And, particular-
ly, for a governing body, whose authority as
students is necesarily and justifiably limited, the
need for every member to contribute actively is
acute and lends strength to the organization.

Men's League
President Harry Dow
Vice-President Robert Roberts
The Men's League is one of three divisions
of the Student Government Association and serves
the male students of the University. The League is
divided into two sections; the Executive Council
and the Dormitory Council.
The Executive Council is composed of one repre-
sentative from each class, an elected member from
the Dormitory Council, and representatives from
the Interfraternity Council, and the Independent
Students Association. The President and the Vice-
President are elected by the male student body at
large. The Executive Council concerns itself with
the problems of male students and the general im-
provement of the campus; it works in conjunction
with the Dean of Men in these respects. The Council
also recognizes achievement by awarding a bronze
cup annually to the outstanding male senior on
campus.
The Dormitory Council serves in a disciplin-
ary capacity for all violators of the Dormitory
regulations.
The Men's League office is located in Dorm. "0,"
Room 12, students should not hesitate to take any
related problems or suggestions to the League's
office.
26
Women's League
President Mary Crapster
Vice-President Jeanne Regus
Secretary June Degler
Treasurer BiLLEE Hatcher
The Functions of the Women's League
are to co-operate with the Dean of Women in for-
mulating, administering, and interpreting rules
governing the conduct of women at the University.
Each year the League publishes a pamphlet of the
regulations concerning the women who live on the
campus. These regulations are revised by the
League each year under the guidance of the Dean of
Women to eliminate existing fallacies and to achieve
a practical set of rules.
The ofl&cers are elected annually by women stu-
dents, with representatives from each of the resi-
dences and from each class. The League meets once
a week to act on subjects vital to the women of the
University.
Aside from the regular activities of making and
enforcing rules, conducting house meetings, and
assisting dormitory housemothers, the League spon-
sors the annual May Day celebration in co-operation
with the women of the Junior Class.

1 History and ^xQdxWom
History
In 1807 the first school of the University of Maryland, the
College of Medicine, was established in Baltimore, Within
a few years several other professional schools were founded
and the growth of the University had begun.
A group of southern Maryland farmers in 1856 found at
College Park a desirable location for the first agricultural
college in the United States and the second in the entire
hemisphere. The Maryland Agricultural College, as it was
then known, was financed by the sale of stock at $25 a
share.
Following the Civil War the directors of the College were
forced to call upon the State Legislature for aid, which it
gave, becoming co-owner, with the stockholders of the
rapidly expanding school and farm lands. Maryland was
one of the first beneficiaries of the Land Grand Act of 1862
and the subsequent federal aids to higher education.
It was in the next few years that the little agricultural
college in Prince Georges County grew in student body,
faculty, facilities, and import. As the spirit and numbers
of its undergraduates and alumni grew, Maryland assumed
a place of respect in the eyes of all throughout the state.
Having weathered a disastrous fire in 1912 the school
almost succumbed to the decrease of enrollment due to the
war, and again an appeal was made to the State Legislature.
At this time the stockholders were bought out and the
undergraduate schools at College Park became a part of
the State's educational system.
Thus, in 1920, the undergraduates and professional stu-
dents were joined together as the present University of
Maryland, which has advanced to its present position as a
leading institution on the collegiate level of education.
30
Traditions
No university is complete without traditions and Mary-
land is no exception. The "hello habit" is a time-honored
and friendly custom of speaking to everyone on the campus.
A strange face one day is a familiar one the next. The
semester scarcely has begun before old grads are returning
for homecoming, which includes the Freshman-Sophomore
tug-of-war over Paint Branch Creek. All night before the
big game weary freshmen arms beat a drum heralding the
hoped-for victory. Soon the Rossborough Club will present
one of its four yearly dances, featuring a big-name band.
Then before you can say "yeah Maryland," the Autumn
Carnival, with its gala events, will be behind us and the
Christmas pageant on the steps of Dorm C just ahead. It
won't be long then until spring and with it the Inter-
Fraternity sing and afterwards the winners and losers will
meet at "Zal's" to quench their thirst and debate the judges'
decisions. Spring sports also arrive about this time with
the annual lacrosse game with Hopkins and the battle over
much-traveled Testudo. June finals and farewells follow
all too quickly, but before leaving we all will stop at the
Wishing Well behind Rossborough Inn to toss in a penny
and ask for something we dearly desire.
31
Explanation of Unioersity Seal
Maryland is unique in her Great Seal, and presents a
marked contrast with those of the other States of the
American Union, in that it consists of Armorial bearings of
a strictly heraldic character, while the others bear "emblems
indicative of agriculture and commerce, prosperity, or
kindred subjects represented in a pictorial manner."
The Great Seal cut in silver was sent to the province in
1648 by Lord Baltimore, thus it is three hundred years old
this year, and the oldest state seal among the forty-eight.
The escutcheon bore the Calvert and Crossland arms
quartered. The first and fourth quarters consisted of six
verticle bars, alternately gold and black with a bend dexter
counter charged — that is, a diagonal stripe on which colors
are reversed— being the Calvert arms; the second and third
quarters consisted of a quartered field of red and silver
charged with a Greek, or equal-limbed cross, classified as
"Botany"^ — ^its arms terminating trefoils— and also counter-
charged, that is, with the colorings reversed, red being on
the silver ground and silver on the red — the latter quarter-
ings being from the Crossland, Baltimore's maternal arms.
These quarterings were surmounted by an earl's coronet
and full-faced helmet, which indicated his rank in America
as that of a Count Palatine— his rank in England being that
of a Baron only. On the helmet rested the Calvert crest, a
ducal crown, with two half bannerets, one gold and one
black. The escutcheon was supported on one side by the
figure of a farmer, and the other by that of a fisherman —
symbols of each of his two estates, Maryland and Avalon.
Below them was a scroll bearing the Calvert motto: "Fatti
maschii Parole Femine" — ^deeds are males, words, females.
Behind the escutcheons and coronets was engraved an
ermined-lined mantle, and surrounding all, on a border
encircling the seal is the legend:
University of Maryland • 1807 • 1856 • 1920
The heraldic terms used in describing the colors in the
Calvert arms are "Or" and "Sable," meaning gold and black.

39
Publications Board
The Publications Board is a body of students and faculty
which governs policies and finances of the four student pub-
lications, the Diamond back. Terrapin, Old Line, and the
M Book.
A plan established last year stipulates that a candidate
for a major position in publications must submit an applica-
tion containing a statement of qualifications and proposed
program. Appointments are made by the Board.
One member of the Board acts as advisor to work directly
with the student publications in a supervisory capacity to
carry out the decisions of the Publications Board. Faculty
members, one of which is chairman, are appointed by the
President of the University. Students on the Board are the
editors of Maryland publications, president of the Student
Government Association, and president of Pi Delta Epsilon,
journalistic honorary. The editors have a vote only on
matters concerning their own publications.

Organizations
Student life Committee
The connecting link between the student body and
the University administration on the Maryland
campus is the Student Life Committee, appointed
by the President of the University and headed by
Professor James H. Reid. Composed of those
faculty members who are actively interested in stu-
dent affairs, it keeps a strict vigilance on all activi-
ties, acting in an advisory capacity and attempting
to improve any unsatisfactory conditions that may
arise on the campus.
To be active on campus all organizations must be
recognized by the Student Life Committee. In its
approval procedure of campus organizations, the
committee encourages clubs that will not be in direct
competition with one another.
Among other activities, the Committee sponsors
the Freshman Mixer, cooperates in convocation, and
aids the social director. Miss Leslie, in the manage-
ment of social affairs for the campus year.
Other members of the committee are: Prof. Allen,
Dr. Benton, Prof. Burnett, Dr. Ehrensberger, Dean
Eppley, Dr. Harmon, Prof. Kramer, Dr. Lejins, Miss
Leslie, Prof. Outhouse, Dr. Phillips, Miss Preinkert,

Reserve Officers Train'mg Corps
With the rapid increase in post-war enrollment and the
re-establishment of the advanced course, Maryland's Corps
of Cadets has become one of the largest in the country.
Under Col. Harlan C. Griswold, who was retired on June 30,
the ROTC also became one of the top five rated units in
the country.
All male students except veterans must enroll in the two-
year basic course, which includes instruction in military
skills and in drill. Two credit hours are given for each of
the four semesters of the basic course.
Students who complete the basic course or who have had
equivalent training in the armed forces are eligible to apply
for the advanced course. They must be able to pass
physical and other qualifying examinations. Cadets for this
training are then selected by a military board from among
the applicants who have met all the requirements.
The advanced students, who receive a monetary allow-
ance, serve as officers and non-commissioned officers of the
ROTC regiment. Upon completion of the course and upon
recommendation of the Military Commandant and the Presi-
dent of the University, students are commissioned as second
lieutenants in the Army of the United States in one of the
following branches: Infantry, Signal Corps, Transportation
Corps, and in the Air Force.
The ROTC and the Military Department are housed in
the Armory and the Gym. The Armory, constructed in
1943, is one of the finest in the country. The ten point rifle
range affords adequate facilities for Maryland's crack teams,
consistently among the best.
Mr. Frank Sykora of the Music Department is beginning
his second year as Director of the ROTC Band. Members
are chosen from members of the Corps of Cadets who play
musical instruments. Practice is held during regular drill
periods and extra scholastic credit is given to its members.

Athletics
Inter-CoUegiate Sports
The third year of peacetime athletic competition
at the University of Maryland found varsity sports
at a never before attained peak. After having had
a two-year period in which to become accustomed
to the playing habits and traits of teammates, the
Old Liners are prepared for the toughest sports
schedule in the history of the University.
The coaching staff which led the school's athletic
forces remains the same as in the 1947-48 season.
Jim Tatum, head football coach, returns with the
additional duties of Director of Athletics, left vacant
by the resignation of Walter Driskill. Col. Harvey
Miller, head boxing coach bids fair to return the
Southern Conference title to the University of Mary-
land. Also returning to coach the Black and Gold
teams are Jack Faber, Lacrosse, Burton Shipley,
Baseball, Jim Kehoe, Track, Doyle Royal, Soccer
and Tennis, and Frank Cronin, Golf. Top basket-
ball man for the second year is Albert "Flucie"
Stewart while Col. Harland Griswold once more
directs the rifle team.
Under the direction of Dr. Rachel Benton, a
comprehensive women's physical education program
is now being planned.

Southern Conference
Founded in 1921 to promote and regulate inter-
collegiate athletics in every form, the Southern Con-
ference today is made up of colleges and universi-
ties in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.
Represented are Clemson, William and Mary,
Davidson, North Carolina State, South Carolina,
Duke, North Carolina, Furman, Citadel, Richmond,
V.M.I., Wake Forrest, V.P.I., George Washington,
Washington and Lee, and Maryland. Each member
is entitled to one vote.
Maryland's voting delegate is Geary F. Eppley,
vice-president of the Southern Conference and chair-
man of the University of Maryland Council of Inter-
collegiate Athletics.
Returning this year to prewar eligibility rules, the
Southern Conference has reinstated regulations re-
garding freshman participation, transfers, residence
requirements, and outside participation.
Maryland is also a member of the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association, the United States Inter-
collegiate Lacrosse Association, and the Intercol-
legiate Amateur Athletic Association of America.

A reorganized and rejuvenated football squad, under the
capable guidance of Jim Tatum, gave the Terrapm school
one of its most successful seasons, when the Old Lmers won
seven games, lost and tied two.
With a wealth of new material plus the one-two punch of
halfbacks Lu Gambino (top scoring ace of major colleges
last season) and Hubie Werner, Maryland is the school to
watch. Particularly when they are backed by such men as
Gene Kinney, Vic Turyn, Harry Bonk, and Elmer Wmgate.

BOXING COACH HARVEY L. MILLER
Under the experienced eye and guidance of Heinie Miller,
head boxing coach, the boxing squad punched out seven
victories with one loss and two 4-4 deadlocks. The loss was
to ever strong Army by a single point.
Ed Rieder, Southern Conference champion at 155 for the
second year was eliminated in the finals for the national
crown by 155 pound champ Herb Carlson. Hard luck, for
the second year dogged the trail of Andy Quattrocchi, one
of the collegiate all-time greats in the lightweight slot.
Andy, with the punch of a middleweight, floored all op-
position until the conference championships. In this bout
he was slowed by an injured knee. Ditto in the nationals.

GOLF COACH FRANK CRONIN
With a 10 win 4 loss record for the past season, the
Maryland linkmen, under the guidance of Coach Frank
Cronin will soon start preparing for their third year under
varsity regulations.
The return of most of Cronin's experienced golfers, plus
the addition of several better-than-average newcomers,
serves warning on opposing schools that an undefeated
season is the aim of the team.
Bill Cassedy, number one man, is the only man on the
squad who will be missing next year. The others, Frank
Butterfield, Reid Phippeny, Bob Clark, John Armacost and
Jack Call will be on hand for the first match.
Among the season's victories was a repeat in the winning
of the Western Maryland open and a win over West Vir-
ginia, undefeated in two seasons.
LACROSSE COACH JACK FABER
Maryland's eight wins and three losses in the 1948 season
are a far cry from the 1947 disaster, the Terps lost all but
four games, winning none of the major clashes for the worst
year in Maryland's lacrosse history.
In scoring 102 goals, the Old Liners were met with a
total of 57 points scored by the opposition. Recognized in
the late thirties as the outstanding collegiate lacrosse power
in the nation, Maryland met post-w^ar teams with little more
than reputation, the best coach in the business and a sprink-
ling of experienced players.

BASEBALL COACH BURTON SHIPLEY
A poor start with four victories in the first twelve games
seemed to doom the diamond squad, but a fast finish gave
the team a record of 13 wins, 9 loses and 2 tie games. The
strength last season was at bat, with weaknesses existing in
the field.
At bat, ten players who had batted more than 25 times,
each finished the season above the .300 mark with Jim
Moeler leading the sluggers with 17 hits in 44 tries for a
.386. He was closely followed by John Hunton's .373. John
Condon's .370, Al Tuminski's .361 and Joe Andrus with
.358. With this as the record, the team will concentrate on
fielding and pitching for the 1949 season.
Center Fielder Joe Andrus led his teammates in several
departments as he romped home for 21 runs. He also
showed the way with four triples, 29 hits, and 12 stolen
bases. Gene Ensweller led in two base hits by swatting
six, while Bob Brewer banged out three home runs and
knocked 19 runs across the plate.
All-in-all, the outlook for the coming year is bright for
the baseball team with both weaknesses and strengths being
spotted by the coaching staff.
RIFLE COACH HARLAND C. GRISWOLD
Possessing what is considered the finest indoor rifle range
in the country (according to the National Rifle Association)
the University of Maryland riflemen, under the direction of
Col. H. C. Griswold, assisted by Sgt. Norris went through
their dual meet season undefeated, winning 19 shoulder to
shoulder matches.
In addition to the regular intercollegiate competition, the
Old Liners captured the Hearst Trophy award as well as
winning the Service Command Trophy for first place and
the District Championship. Their only defeats for the
season were handed out by Army for the Metropolitan New
York Area Crown, by a single point, and the loss of the
National Intercollegiate Championship Crown to Navy by
one point. Both of these teams fell before the Old Liner
rifle team in dual shoulder to shoulder matches.
Members of the rifle team receive the same varsity "M"
awards as the other teams. All students are eligible to try-
out for the team, although only ROTC students may fire in
the Hearst Trophy Match. Coed's may also tryout for the
team. Exact dates for tryouts will be announced by the
rifle coaches and will be published in the Diamondback.

TENNIS COACH DOYLE ROYAL
A 5-3-1 record was sported by the 1948 tennis team under
the coaching of Coach Doyle Royal, though several meets
were held with part of his squad on the sidelines due to
injuries. Although not an exceptional record, it is far
from bad and the coming season is expected to be even
better.
Big guns of the team last season were Tom Beight who
won four of his singles matches while losing only one, Ed
Miller with a 4-2 record and Babe Rothenhoefer with 6-3.
Ed LaBerge and Miller teamed in the doubles to win five
matches while losing one.

SOCCER COACH DOYLE ROYAL
Soccer, once more a varsity sport, rolled into high gear
last season when the team went undefeated, with a single
tie to mar their record. Included in their wins was the
defeat of Temple, recognized national champs, who was
sporting a 19 game, three year winning streak. In all.
Coach Royal's charges won six matches with a total point
scoring of 27 against 8 by the opposition.
The power demonstrated by the soccer team last season
was reminiscent of the 1941 squad which won eight games,
seven of which were shutouts. With the contemplated return
of most of his regulars of the 1947 season. Coach Royal
expects an even better team than last year.
In addition to regular varsity games, the team sent mem-
bers on the road with a conference team which toured a
large section of the country with exhibition games. Three
stars of the team, Dick Cleveland, Beach, and Eddie Rieder
were also members of the semi-final Olympic tryout team
for soccer.

Coach Krouse's charges won five meets while losing the
same number, but numbered among their victims such
powerhouses as North Carolina State and V. M. I. This is
an improvement over 1947's 2-6 record, but the team re-
mained in fourth place in the Southern Conference Tourna-
ment standing.
The wrestling team has had two years to become
conditioned by Coach Krouse who has his eyes on the con-
ference championship held by Washington and Lee. Pace-
setters for last season were Jim Scott, 145, and Bob
Marsheck, ace at either 165 or 175, who both won nine con-
tests. Next in line was Ed Gurny, 135, who won eight.

WOMEN'S INTRAMURAL DIRECTOR DR. BENTON
During the war years when physical fitness of every person
in America was being stressed, Maryland took the lead in
building one of the finest intramural athletic programs in
the nation. Under the direction of Dr. Rachel Benton and
Jim Tatum, the women's and men's athletic departments are
carrying on that program with even wider participation than
was thought possible.
The games are played on the athletic fields and in the field
houses and gymnasiums of the University under the eyes of
trained officials.
Members of the winning teams are awarded gold and
silver terrapins with the organization being awarded a
trophy. The women's teams yearly compete for the Sigma
Kappa sorority trophy which is presented to the house com-
piling the most points through placing first, second, or third
in team competition during the season.

Freshman Sports
Though varsity sports have been running at top
speed since the end of the war, freshman sports
have remained inactive until the past season. But,
with the reinstallation of the Southern Conference
ruling pertaining to freshman participation in
sports, frosh teams are moving into high. These
teams will be the governing factor for the selection
of varsity stars for the various sports during the
last three years of the students' stay at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Varsity Sports
Varsity competition at the University of Mary-
land is under the direction of Jim Tatum, director
of athletics and head football coach, and is carried
on in every major sport. These are football, basket-
ball, baseball, boxing, track (indoor, outdoor, and
cross-country I , lacrosse, soccer, rifle, tennis, golf
and wrestling. Soccer is a 1948 addition to the
varsity-standing sports.
122
Council on
Intercollegiate Athletics
All athletics at Maryland operate under the direc-
tion of the Council on Intercollegiate Athletics of
which Geary F. Eppley is chairman.
Other members are Dr. William B. Kemp, Dr.
William Supplee, Dr. Ernest Cory, and James
Tatum, Arthur I. Bell, president of the General
Alumni Council, and Louis C. Eisenhauer, president
of the Student Government Association, hold mem-
bership ex-officio.
Rally Committee
Chairman Herb Siegel
The Rally Committee, under the supervision of
the Student Government Association, was formed
last year to enable the student body to conduct
better pep rallies and half-time ceremonies at all
athletic events here. The group will also arrange
transportation for student who wish to attend the
away games. Different types of entertainment will be
planned for the half-time of games played on the
campus and in Washington. Transportation will
be furnished for those students who wish to attend
the games in Washington.

Fraternities
Fraterniti) Criteria
[This article is printed by request of the
Inter fraternity Council)
The National Interfraternity Conference was
founded in 1908 for the purpose of discussing ques-
tions of mutual interest and to make such recom-
mendations from time to time as it deems wise. It
is composed of sixty-four national fraternities which
meet strict qualifications for membership. Its
annual conferences are attended by about three
hundred and fifty deans of men and college presi-
dents. It sponsors the National Undergraduate
Councils on campuses all over the United States and
Canada, which meets in conjunction with the Con-
ference itself. It publishes a Year Book, the report
of its annual meeting, in which much valuable in-
formation about college fraternity life is included.
In the fall of 1934, the Executive Committee of
the Conference and the Educational Advisory Coun-
cil reduced to writing the following criteria in order
to further advance co-operation between fraternities
and education institutions. The statement was sub-
sequently approved by the American Association of
Deans, Advisers of Men and by the Conference it-
self. It reads as follows:
126
Fraternity Criteria-Continued
We consider the fraternity responsible for a posi-
tive contribution to the primary functions of the
colleges and universities, and therefore under an
obligation to encourage the most complete develop-
ment of its members, intellectual, physical and
social. Therefore, we declare:
1. That the objectives and activities of the fra-
ternity should be in entire accord with the aims
and purposes of the institutions at which it has
chapters.
2. That the primary loyalty and responsibility of
a student in his relations with his institution are to
the institution, and that the association of any group
of students as a chapter of a fraternity involves the
definite responsibility of the group for the conduct
of the individual.
3. That the fraternity should promote conduct
consistent with good morals and good taste.
4. That the fraternity should create an atmos-
phere which will stimulate substantial intellectual
progress and superior intellectual achievement.
5. That the fraternity should maintain sanitary,
safe and wholesome physical conditions in the
chapter house.
127
Fraternity Hints
Being a Brother in a fraternity means much more
than merely wearing a shining pin on your sweater;
you will be expected to devote your time and in-
terest to the task of upholding and furthering the
standards and traditions of the fraternity of your
choice.
In a few weeks, the doors of these Greek letter
organizations will swing open and rushing will
again be underway. The decision concerning fra-
ternities represents an important crossroad in your
whole future, and your choice consequently should
be made with great care. These hints may assist
you during rushing. In fairness to yourself, do not
be "high-pressured" into committing yourself to one
fraternity without visiting the rest of them before-
hand.
Do not feel that you are a social outcast if you
fail to receive a bid from the fraternity of your
choice; fraternities have to make many snap judg-
ments on rushees because of the large number be-
ing rushed in such a short rush period.
Know the financial set up of the fraternity in
which you are interested — the dues may be beyond
your means.
Attempt to meet all of the Brothers when attend-
ing a rush function in order to get an accurate
picture of the fraternity. GOOD LUCK!
128
Interfratewity Council
President Bob Martel
The local chapter of the Inter fraternity Council
was founded in 1926 for the purpose of maintain-
ing harmonious relations between the University
and the Fraternities and among the fraternities them-
selves. The Council also sponsors the annual inter-
fraternity athletic program, and the Interfraternity
scholarship and activities cups which are presented
each year to the fraternities outstanding in these
fields of endeavor.
Membership on the Council consists of the presi-
dent and an elected delegate from each of the eli-
gible fraternities.

Panhellenk Creed
"We, the fraternity undergraduate members,
stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good
health, for wholehearted cooperation with our col-
lege's ideals for student life, for the maintenance of
fine social standards, and for the serving, to the
best of our ability, of our college community. Good
College citizenship in the larger world of alumnae
days is the ideal that shall guide our chapter activi-
ties.
"We, the fraternity women of America, stand for
preparation for service through the character build-
ing inspired in the close contact and deep friend-
ship of fraternity life. To us, fraternity life is not
the enjoyment of special privileges but an oppor-
tunity to prepare for wide and wise human service."
136

Recreation Center
MISS MILDRED MADIGAN, Manager
Fast becoming the place to go on campus, the "Rec Hall,"
as it is affectionately known, opens its doors wide to day-
dodgers and resident students alike twelve hours a day.
"Meet you at the Rec Hall" is perhaps Joe and Jane Terp's
favorite expression.
Unwrapped only last December, the Rec Hall has since
seen few days when shakes haven't passed over the Snack
Bar, celery hasn"t been chomped in the Sandwich Room,
or loungers been lacking in the Lounge. And, of course,
the Game Room has been the scene of an unending parade
of people who play checkers, people who play chess, people
who shoot pool, and people who trump their partner's
ace . . .
A Few Extra Statistics . . . the Snack Bar handles close
to 2,000 snack seekers a day . . . there are forty-five chairs
plus a dozen davenports in the Lounge . . . the Meeting
Room can hold seventy people holding seventy tea cups
. . . the Rec Hall boasts one of the few women's lounges on
campus . . .
Located just a few steps from the Women's Field House,
it is a university phenomenon in that it is the only Mary-
land building that provides ashtrays for smokers.

Cheer Leaders
Head Cheerleader Elizabeth Simpson
Nucleus of Maryland spirit is the battery of cheer
leaders who conduct the Terp cheering sections in
their songs and cheers. It is these cheer leaders
who perform the task of instilling the traditional
Maryland spirit throughout the student body. The
cheerleading squad works in close cooperation with
the Rally Committee, and the head cheerleader is a
permanent member of the Executive Board of that
body. Tryouts for the squad are held at the begin-
ning of each football season.
Pep Squad and Mascots
The Pep Squad is an organization of tumblers
who perform acrobatic stunts at Terp athletic con-
tests. "Moe" and "Joe" Terp are the two Maryland
mascots who cut Terrapin-like capers in Black and
Gold, and Red and White costumes at Maryland
athletic events. Both the Pep Squad and the Mas-
cots are a part of the Maryland Rally Committee.
