The value of a college educalioii is realize<l
more fully today than ever helore. Educa-
tion is standing on a pedestal, unchallenged,
as the hope of our world. It is recognized as
the cornerstone of democracy and the prin-
cipal means for maintaining the American
way of life.
You who are about to enter the doors ot the
University of Marvland are beginning an im-
portant life of education for which you have
been preparing for the last twelve or more
years. You are probably beginning the last
and most important part of your formal
educational career. Realize, however, that
college training should be merely another
step in your lifelong education.
The most important things tor you, the
new student to have firmly fixed in your mind
is definite goals toward which you intend to
direct your efforts. In determining these goals
you should remember that there are three
sides to college life. Maryland offers scholas-
tic, social, and practical education. Your
duty to vourself and to your University is to
give and take intelligently of each of the
activities in which you participate.
The M-Book is the first link you will have
with the many activities you will personally
support and perhaps lead while at Mary-
land. Read through each section carefully.
Use the calendar for a handy reminder of what
to see and do as the months pass. Let the
other sections give you names of students
who are now campus leaders and with whom
you should talk for tips on how you, too, may
hecome a leader.
And while you are reading, keep the
ifonoraries section on a par with the Or-
ganizations and other sections. Remember
that grades and activities should go hand in
hand. Don't sacrifice one for the other, if
you are to gain the most from your college
career.
The University of Maryland will need your
help during the next four years to remain in
its position as a leading American institution.
Into everything that you do for our school
put your fullest effort, and in return a full
crib of scholastic, social and practical educa-
tion will

General Information
ACADEMIC
Classes at the University begin on the hour and
last for 50 minutes. To gain the greatest measure
of success in school students should realize that
grades reflect more than just performance on examin-
ations, llegular attendance in classes is more im-
portant to that average than last minute cramming.
There is no unlimited cut system. Students who
have more than three unexcused absences are re-
ported to the Dean of the College, and notices are
sent to the student and to his parents. Absences
may result in a lowering of the grade, or in complete
course failure.
If a student desires to drop a course he must ob-
tain permission from his Dean before the last desig-
nated date for dropping, generally eight weeks after
the beginning of the semester (the date will be an-
nounced in the Dianiondback) in order not to re-
ceive a failing grade in the course.
If an exam is missed, a make-up exam may usually
be taken with the permission of the instructor and
the payment of a .$1.00 fee to the registrar. A stu-
dent must receive a passing grade in at least one-
half of his registered credit hours in order to remain
in school. An average of C or better is required
for Junior standing, for eligibility for major posi-
tions on publications, and for any class office, as
well as for a degree.
Detailed instructions may be found in the
Academic Kegula lions pamphlet which is published
by the University.
ACTIVITIES FEE

musical productions, and other general student

History
The University of Maryland dales back to 1807
Avhen the first school of the University, the Colle-e
oe Medicine, was founded in Baltnnore. In the
more than 140 years since its foundnig, the Uni-
versity has expanded both physically and ni its
standards of education, untd it now occupies a
position as one of the leading universities m the
*^^ 4fter the College of Medicine was founded, there
followed within a few years the establishment of
several other professional schools to mark the lirst
expansion of the University. The School of Law was
added in 1823, the School of Dentistry in 1882 the
School of Nursing in 1889, and in 1904 the Maryland
College of Pharmacy completed the Baltimore
additions. „ ,,
\t College Park, in 1856, Maryland State College
the lirst \crncultural college in the United States and
the second in the western hemisphere, was estab-
lished under the name of the Maryland Agr.cultura
College. The college was financed by the sale al
stock'^at 825 a share. .
In 1862, this college became, in part, a state
institution with the passage of the Uand Grant Act
by Congress. It was one of the first schools to bene-
fit from this act and subsequent federal awls to
111^920, the professional schools of the Uniyersily
iu Baltimore, and the Maryland State (.ollege m
College Park were merged to form what is uou
known as the University of Maryland.
20
Maryland's Great Seal, the oldest of the state
seals, was sent to the province of Maryland in 1648
by Lord Baltimore. More than 300 years old, the
seal is the only state seal of strictly heraldic char-
acter, for the "other state seals bear emblems rep-
resenting agriculture, commerce, or some related
subject.
The escutcheon bears the Calvert and Crossland
arms quartered. The first and fourth quarters are the
Calvert Arms. The second and third quarters are
from the Crossland, Baltimore's maternal arms. An
earl's coronet and full-faced helmet are surmounted
on the quarterings. These indicate Lord Baltimore's
rank in America. The Calvert crest rests on the
helmet. The escutcheon is supported on one side
by the figure of a farmer, and on the other by that
of a fisherman — symbols of each of Lord Baltimore's
estates, Marvland and Avalon. Below the figures is
the scroll bearing the Calvert motto: "Fatti Maschii
Parole Femine,'' which means ''Deeds are males;
words, female." On a border encircling the seal is
the legend: University of Maryland 1807 1856
1920.

Customs and Spirit
Maryland's customs, from bronze Test udo
keeping guard in front of the Coliseum to the
chimes in the tower of the Old Engineering
building, will prove both stimulating and
interesting to the incoming freshman class.
A feeling of the timelessness of the Uni-
versity comes over the new student when he
learns that the Rossborough Inn, located
near the Baltimore Boulevard, was doing a
thriving business about 1790 and is, per-
liaps, the nucleus of Maryland tradition.
The Tunnel, the Wishing Well, May Day
— all are part of that tradition. They will be
a part of vour college career. The friendly
''Hello Habit" which has always been a
Maryland custom will quickly orient you.
The pep rallies, convocations, and sporl
contests will heighten vour growing school
spirit. You will pass on the history and
tradition of Maryland to those who will
inhabit the campus after you.

Traditions
Classes, sluay anil -roup >vork are integral parts
of our University scene, but colortul tradtjons ami
customs handed down through the years help create
the most vivid memories of college life.
Alanv first year women are mtroduced to \lar^-
land customs by sorority rushing previous to the
beginning of school. ,
Freshmen couples usually are quick to lolUm mu 1
a revered custom as the traditiona kisses exchang^ed
durinc the first trip to the secluded Tunnel. Iht
FresWan should remember, too, that .Iroppmg a
pennv in the wishing well at the Kossborough Inn
guarantees that his wishes will come to reahtv.

Al Christmas time a pageant is held following the
lighting of a Christmas tree. Carols are broadcast
from the tower of Morrill Hall during the week pre-
ceding Christinas vacation.
All during the spring, sororities and fraternities
gather their groups about the nearest pianos to re-
hearse for the Phi Kappa Tau Barber Shop quartet
contest and the Tri Delt sponsored Interfraternity
Sing. In the springtime, too, the south gate wall
becomes a meeting ground for male students who
wish to pass both the time of day and their judg-
ment on coeds walking by. The number of fraternity
pins and police parking tickets given out zooms dur-
ing this period, not to mention "Keep off the grass!"
campaigns in the Diamondback.
May Day soon heralds the approaching end of
the Spring semester as students pause to honor the
beloved May Queen with a traditional pageant.
Mortar Board taps outstanding junior women dur-
ing the festivities, too.
At this time one of Marvland's keenest rivals,
Johns Hopkins, is encountered in the annual lacrosse
game between the two schools. This event is one
of the more rousing events of the athletic year.
Campaigning and electioneering for student
government and class offices make very lively
campus elections each spring.
The annual Honors and Awards Assembly, held
just before graduation, recognizes achievement in
scholarship, sports, AFROTC, publications, and
other phases of University life.
Seniors leave their University life behind them
at the graduation exercises on the Mall, Iml forever
keep its memories.

The Administration
The Administration will be your guide while you
are at the University of Maryland. Composed of all
college deans, department-heads, and other |)er-
sonnel, the Administration is headed by the I iii-
versity President, Dr. H. C. Byrd. The offices of
the President, Dean of Men, registrar, ami cashier
may be found in the Administration buihiing. Make
every effort to become acquainted \v ith the mendiers
of the staff, and never hesitate to ask them for any
help that you may need, for they are always rea<ly
and willing to be of assistance.
The S. G. A. office, the Post Office, and the book
store are on the basement floor of the Administra-
tion building, where von will also llnd the Religious
Counsellors office. Most students, day dodgers as
well as residents, daily pass through the halls ol this
building. It is the nerve center of I niversily life,
just as'^the Administration is the nerve center of
campus functions.
The new student should let an interest in both
become a gui«ling light during his four years al llie
L niversitv.

To Members of the First Year Class:
The Freshman, hi orienting himself with Uni-
versity Hfe, finds himself confronted >vith manv
questions. The University's program is coordinated
with the high school program. Yet, in some respects,
a wide difference exists between the two. J he stu-
dent entering the University for the first lime is cut
loose from home ties and finds himself in a position
where he must act independently and on his o>xn
judgment. Boys and girls are suddenly away Irom
the^disciplines of their homes and find that they
face a problem of self discipline, in which often
personal desires must be conquered.
Tt is my duty as President of the University, it
is the duty of the Dean of Men and the Dean of
Women particularlv, and of all members ol the
faculty, to help you orient yourself to new com i-
tions.' Tell us what your problems are and our help
will be given gladly. Ask any questions you may
wish, even if you are afraid that some of them may
seem simple. ^u ii :
Remember that you are welcomed to the uni-
versity of Maryland as a member of the I mversity
family. As a family, we are obligated, and it is our
pleasure, to help one another.
My office door always is open. Walk in Nxhencv«M-
you need my help.
Sincerely,
Presi(I<'nt.

Elections
Stiulenl Goveinineiit Associalion and class offices
are filled by elections w liich lake place in the spring.
J t three candidates for offices are nominated, a
primary is held a week prior to the final election.
Maryland's election campaigns have come to be as
eye-catching and colorfnl as local and national elec-
tions. Candidates and their supporters rely on many
means — the more dramatic the better — to gain
voles.
Any student may run for an office. Candidates for
Executive Council posts must be nominated from
the floor of the SGA at a specially designated meet-
ing. Class office candidates must procure a specified
number of petition signatures prior to the deadline
in order to run. Normally an assembly is held at
which candidates state their qualifications. The
campus radio station, newspaper, and a host of
posters are used in letting the student body know
just who is running for what.
Constitution
The Sludenl Government Associalion operates
under a constitution which was approved bv the
sludenl body in a special 1950 spring election. The
Constitution provides for the election of SGA and
class officials; for the operation of the Men's and
Women's League; for the organization of com-
mittees; for initiative, petition, referendum and re-
call; for meetings, and publications; and for bv
laws to govern additional activities.

Committees
The Student Govermnenl Association operates
through the use of committees, set up hy the Exe-
cutive Council and composed ol stutlents who have
expressed an interest in working lor extracurricular
events. Any student may become a mendier of a
committee. He has only to show an interest in the
SGA and a desire to work for the henelit «d" the slu-
tient body.
As soon as a committee is set up, notices an-
nouncing the organization of the group are printed
in the University newspaper, and are posted on the
bulletin hoard near the SGA office, in the basement
of the Administration building. A list is then main-
tained in the SGA office which interested persons
are asked to sign. The committee mend)ership is
made up from this hst.
Chairmanships on each SGA committee arc (illrd
in a similar manner. Following announcement of the
need of a particular committee chairman, interested
students may write a letter staling their qualilica-
tions and experience, giving the name ol the posi-
tion for which they are applying, and submit it to
the University post office. Box J\o. I.
Applications for conunittee chairmanships are
screened by the SGA Organization and Procedure
Committee, which makes a recommendation to he
voted upon by the Executive Council. I'inal ap-
proval of committee heads comes from the (iouncii.
Within each conunittee are a nund)er of sub-com-
mittees, such as publicity, decorations, refreshments,
tickets, and the like. It is customary to select f<»r
sub-c<»mmit lee heads persons who ha\ e \\«»rked on
to
either the same sub-committee or similar suh-com-
miltees previously.
All SGA activities, which include all student
activities on campus not controlled by special
boards or faculty committees, are under the super-
vision of the Faculty Committee on Student Life,
an advisory administrative board which sanctions
or disapproves operations of student organizations
and oversees the appropriation of activities funds.
Constitutional Committees
The SGA Constitution provides for the appoint-
ment of the Committee on Ways and Means, the
Committee on Elections, and the Committee on
Organization and Procedure.
Special Committees
The president of the Executive Council has also
set up the following committees with the approval of
the Council:
Student Welfare Committee

Women's League
President
Women's League is the representative I»o<Jv for
the University's women students, and all women are
members of the organization.
As a new student, you will find that you encounter
the League often in your University life, for it
formulates, administers, and interprets the rules
governing women students. If you are a campus
resident you will see the important role the League
plays in dormitory life. It conducts house meetings,
assists the dormitory housemothers, and handles
violations of rules governing resident women.
Women's League also participates aclivly in
campus programs. During the past year it has
sponsored informal Friday night mixers (dances).
May Day afternoon the league also invites new
Mortar Board tappees and the May Day court to a
tea in the Rossborough Inn.
The League is a self-governing organization, with
representatives from each house for women students
42
on or near campus, from the day dodgers, and the
Fan-Hellenic Association. The officers of the Lea^rue
are elected by the women students and meetin-s are
open to all women. '^
Business meetings are held once a week at which
subjects vital to the women of the campus are dis-
cussed.
The constitution of the Women^s League was re-
vised last year, in order to simplify the context and
make it easier to read. This set of practical rules
ill be distributed in pamphlet form to all freshman
oinen.
women.
Under the new constitution, the League is divided
into three branches. The Executive Board or
governing body is composed of representatives from
all groups who are seated in the Women's League
Itself. ®
The Legislative Board includes representatives
Irom all women's dwellings plus members of the
executive council.
The Judicial branch is composed of nine junior and
senior women who are appointed by the Executive
Board.
Members of the Executive and Legislative Coun-
cds meet bi-weekly. The Judicial board meets once
a week to penalize those who break the rules of the
League.
The League is chiefly concerned with campus resi-
dents, but it is interested in encouragin'' more
active participation of the commuting women stu-
dents. Under the new constitution these women
Will have more opportunity for taking part in cam-
pus life.

Honors
Since the principal purpose of a university is to
Irain better citizens, the development of a well-
rounded, informed, personality should he the aim of
every student. At the University of Maryland are
27 societies, membership in which is based to some
degree on leadership, scholarship, or service.
Election to one of the honorary societies is a
legitimate aim for each Freshman who comes to the
University with a serious intent to receive from his
lour years the most which the University has to
offer.
A maxim to ever remember, however, is that the
amount of satisfaction one gets out of his college
career is directly proportional lo the interest and
work he puts into it. Feel sorry for the ever-griping
student who has never asked himself, "What have /
done to improve this situation?"
However, to be tapped by an honorary is to re-
ceive recognition for the worth of one's contri-
butions to University life or for one's attainments in
personal achievements in his selected (icid.
in honitr stndrnt hiimhlv rcrvivrs his aufim

Freshman Honors and Awards
While most of the honorary societies elect only
upper classmen, there are honors open to Freshmen
which are worthy of one's hest effort. Alpha Lamhfla
Delta for women and Phi Eta Sigma for men are
open only to Freshmen. Membership in these
organizations is based solely on scholarship.
Omicron Nu, Home Economics honorary, presents
an award to the freshman woman in that College
who attains the highest scholastic average during
her first semester.
Alpha Zeta, Agriculture honorary, presents the
Alpha Zeta Medal to the freshman student who at-
tains the highest average in culture.
The Sigma Chi Cup is awarded to the man in the
freshman class who makes the highest scholastic
average during the first semester.
Pi Delta Epsilon, honorary journalism fralernily,
awards a cup to the outstanding freshman journalist.
The Chemistry Department presents an award
to the outstanding Chemistry I student.
A Danforth Summer Scholarship is presented to
both a first year woman in the College of Home
Economics and a first year man enrolled in the Col-
lege of Agriculture.
A mediocre high school record need not prevent
the attainment of honors in college. Interesting sub-
ject matter and a<l<led maturity stimulate achieve-
ment. With regular and adequate hours of study
(a minimum of two hours each evening for each class
hour is recommended), honors and awards are
within the reach of evervone.

Sororities
To many coeds, the social side oC college
life takes the form of a sorority. Approxi-
mately a week hefore the beginning of regis-
tration, houses open their doors of friendship
and group activity to all prospective new
members.
You, the incoming coed, will be the most
"prospective" of all. In order that your
sorority experience might be one that is real
and full, remember not to let your choice of a
sorority group be based on the size of house
or wealth of the group. Judge from points
which to you seem to be important. Choose
personalities which appeal: remember, you'll
have to live with them.
Sororities are limited by the number of per-
sons they can a<lequately accommodate, and
sometimes overlook potentially line mem-
bers. If you don't fit at first, don't lose in-
terest. Remember, college success and hap-
piness depend least of all on a sorority, and
most of all on you.

rushing should he thoroughly familiar with these
rules a'nd should adhere to them at all times.
Formal rushing is that period beginning with the
open house teas and continuing until pledging.
Rushees shall he entertained at sorority houses only

Neither men, non-sorority women nor alumnae
may be present at any rush functions. No eligible
students shall be allowed in sorority houses during
formal rushing except during specified rush functions.
No sorority women shall be allowed to enter the

lion at the University and is unaffiliated with any
National Panhellenic Fraternity is eligible for
formal rushing.
Students in the University summer school are
ineligible for rushing until September when sororities
become active. A pledge expires one calendar year
from the date of pledging at which time the student
is eligible for pledging another sorority.
During rush week, if a girl expresses her preference
in writing, or formally accepts a bid, or wears the
colors of a sorority during open rushing following
rush week, she is ineligible for pledging another
sorority, whether or not she has been through formal
service,
A pledge who is released by a chapter at any time
during her pledge year, or who breaks her pledge, is
ineligible for pledging a sorority until one calendar
year from the date on which her pledge was broken.
This regulation is binding regardless of the campus
on which the student may be enrolled.
Pledges who have completed fifleen credit hours

least a C average, who have no failures on their
record for that semester, who are resident students

Fraternities
A few weeks after school begins
Rotary dances and smokers will mark
the opening of Formal Rushing. You
will find it impossible to visit all of
the fraternities in the limited time
vou will have. However, vou shoidd
make an effort to see as many fra-
ternities as possible. Attempt to
meet all the brothers at the rush
functions and learn the financial set-
up of the fraternities you visit. Since
this will be an important decision in
your college life do not let yourself
be "high pressured" into committing
yourself to one fraternity before vou
have had a chance to learn something
of the other fraternities. Remember
that the right fraternity is the fra-
ternity of vour choice.

Fraternity Criteria
The National Interfraternity Conference was
(ounded in 1908 as a means of bringing about closer
harmony between the national fraternities. Ques-
tions of mutual interest are discussed at the annual
conferences and recommendations are made to the
fraternities. The sixty-four national fraternities
which make up the National Interfraternity Con-
ference must meet strict qualifications for member-
ship. These fraternities send about three hundred
and fifty officers and alumni and about fifty deans
of men and college presidents to their annual con-
ferences. x\lso attending these conferences are the
National Undergraduate Councils from campuses
throughout the United States and Canada which
are sponsored by the National Interfralernity Con-
ference. A Year Hook, the report of its annual meet-
ing containing much valuable information about col-
lege fraternity life, is published by the Conference.
The following criteria was written in 1934 by the
Executive Committee of the Conference and the
P^ducational Advisory Council in order to advance
co-operation between fraternities and educational
institutions. The statement was subsequently ap-
proved by the American Association of Deans and
Advisers of Men and by the Conference itself. It
reads as follows:
1. That the objectives and activities of the fra-
132
leriiity 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 in-
volves 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.
6. That the fraternity should inculcate prin-
ciples of sound business practice both in chapter
finances and in the business relations of its members.
These criteria should be applied in close co-opera-
lion with the administrative authorities of the in-
stitution. Detailed methods of application will
necessarily vary in accordance with local conditions.
It is the purpose of the National Tnterfraternity
Conference to offer detailed suggestions, after
further study and investigation, regarding practical
steps to make this co-operation effective.

fraternity Council.)

Interfraternity Council
President Marvin Perry
The local chapter of the Tnlerfraternitv Council
was established on the Maryland campus in 1926.
The purpose of the council is to foster harmonious
relations between the University and the fraternities
and among the fraternities themselves. One of the
duties of the Council is the improvement of the
fraternity system.
During the year the Interfraternity Council
sponsors several social events. The Interfraternity
dance and the annual Interfraternity athletic pro-
gram are included in this social calendar. The Coun-
cil also awards scholarships and activities cups to
the fraternities.
The rushing program also falls under the super-
vision of the Council and it helps to orient the stu-
dents to fraternity policies and customs.

Athletics
Whether you are varsity material or just
feel like playing: ball now and then, \laryland
athletics have a place for you. Besides the
powerhouse football teams and fast breaking
basketball quintet, there are over 1,700 men
and women enj^aged in intramural sports.
The Maryland sports program is a vear
around one. Starting with stiff competition
of the intramural touch football leagues and
the razzle-dazzle of the split T on Home-
coming day, through the rock-em, sock-em
boxing season and rugged ping-pong tourna-
ments, to the Indian's mayhem, lacrosse, and
the safer, but just as exciting track season,
Maryland sports play an important role in
the life of everv Old Liner -tudent.

Jfead Coach — James M. Tatum
The 1950 /ootbaJl season found the IVIaryland
eleven gonig from the heights of success to the
bottom ot the gloomy ladder and back to the heicrhts
again Such vaunted powers as Navv and Michf-an
State tell before the Terrapin football machine, but
North Carolina State threw the one bier nionkev
wrench in the works with a stunnin- Homecoming
deleat. Ihe only other loss on the Liner schedule
came at the hands of Georgia in the season's opener.
I he record for the whole schedule reads seven wins,
two defeats and one tie.
Several gridiron records fell bv the wavside durin.^
the 1950 season. Halfback "Shoo Shoo'' Shemonsk'i
led the Southern Conference scoring with 97 points
a new high in Terp history. The team romped over
Virginia Tech, 63-7, and rolled up a record 577
yards rushing.
Maryland's All-America football player, l^ob
Ward, will be back at his guard position in' the com-
ing season, but sixteen other grid stalwarts left
Maryland via graduation in June. However, a new
Conference ruling that allows freshmen to play
varsity ball and several capable men from last year's
frosh squad are expected to ease the losses.
Two new additions to the schedule, Missouri and
J.ouisiana State, make 1951 loom as a new mark in
Terp (ootball.

Basketball Coach
Bud Millikan

X
/
A new era came to Maryland (lurin<r ihe lasl
basketball season. A new coach. Bud Millikan, in
his first year with the Liners, turned the tide that
had been flowing against Maryland's basketball
fortunes.
Millikan piloted the Terps to a 15 win, 10 loss
season mark. The previous year had found the
Maryland basketball learn winning only seven of 25
games. The 1950-51 court squad advanced to the
semi-final round of the Southern Conference playoffs
before bowing to champ N. C. State.
A close look at statistics shows why the Terps did
so well in basketball. Making every opportunity
count, the Maryland team ended with a 39.8 per-
centage in field goal shooting to lead the nation.
They made good on 481 of 1,210 shots at the basket.
The Terps were eighth in the nation on free throws
and 24 th on defense.
Lee Brawley, dead-eye Maryland forward, was
the team's leading scorer with 404 points.

Track Coach
Jim Kehoe

Track
For the first time in Maryland athletic history,
the Terrapin trackmen carried off top honors in the
annnal outdoor championship meet. Coupled with
the cross country title won during the fall, the
trackmen have earned the name of champion on the
Maryland campus. Coach Jim Kehoe saw some of
his own records fall and he saw a string of dual meet
victories broken, but the title helped to ease the
pain of those happenings.
Morty Cohen led the squad with over 100 points
scored in competition and many first places in the
hurdle races and broad jump. Cohen will be back to
pace this year's team along with many other out-
standing track and field men.

Terps defeated four Conference foes by the over-
whelming total of 17 goals to one. Only losses cjn

to keep their place with the fans. Last year's team
battled to six wins in eight matches. The boxers
tied one match and lost one.
Outstanding victories on the 1950 schedule were
wins over Louisiana State and Michigan State.

Baseball Coach
Burton Shipley
Baseball
The Maryland baseball team completed its 28th
?eason under the direction of Coach Burton Shipley
rt ith the best record in the history of Terp baseball.
In regular season play the team captured 18 games
and dropped five. Previous to this, the best Mary-
land baseball records were in 1934 and 1939.
By winding up first in the Northern division of the
Southern Conference, Maryland earned a place in
the loop playoffs. Duke eliminated the Terps in the
first round.
Three men were chosen on the Southern Conference
All-star team. Don Soderberg was selected as a
pitcher, Jim Moeller at first base, and Bob Hein-
baugh also in the infield. Maryland placed more men
on the All-star team than any other school in the
conference.
Leading pitcher on the team last year was Soder-
berg. In 60 innings, Soderberg allowed 46 hits,
struck out 59 men and had a earned-run average
of 1.50. His game record was seven wins and two
defeats.

Golf
Alter a big year in 1950 the varsity golf team had a
letdown in 1951 and ended up iii the red. The
linksmen had a season total of live wins against
seven defeats. A great deal of the fault during the
'ol season can be attributed to the fact that the
squad was inexperienced. This fault will not be
present in the coming season. Most of last season's
varsityjwill be back and several good golfers are ex-
pected to move up from the freshman team.
As proof of the fact that experience counts. Coach
Frank Cronin can point to the fact that his team
won their last three matches in a blazing finish.
Team captain Dick Sturges posted a phenomenal
61 m the Western Maryland Invitational tourna-
ment to set a record for the Westminster course.
The Terps managed to gain the fourth spot out of
nine teams entered in the tourney.
iiob Miller led the team throughout the season
wilhthe lowest average score. J I is season's record
was 77.3.

Tennis
Tennis Coach
Doyle Royal
By finishing the 1951 season with 12 wins and

with one of the best net records in Maryland tennis
history.
John McCool was the team's steady winner and
extended his personal win streak over two seasons.
Both George Washington and Georgetow n fell he-
fore the Liner tennis squad, to give Maryland the
mythical Metropolitan area crown.

Freshmen Sports
The fact that there is a place in Maryland athletics
for everyone cannot be over emphasized. Plenty of
opportunity is available. The place for all freshmen
to get started in sports if they have any varsity
ambitions is on the frosh teams. All of the sports
field a freshman counterpart and ample notice is
given before the start of each season to let the new
Terrapms know where and when.
Frosh team schedules are limited, but practice is
thorough. Able coaches are provided to guide the
freshmen athletes. The development and record of
the Irosh teams means a great deal to the varsity
squads and coaches who fill the vacancies on the
teams from the frosh and discover the stars of the
future varsity lineup.
Frosh Football
Last season freshmen gridders were led by former
Maryland backfield ace, Jim La Rue. The Terp
yearlmgs played a full five game schedule, the limit
m the Southern Conference and won three games.
Ihe game with the North Carolina frosh was con-
sidered the highlight of the season. A late flurry
gave the Liners a 29-20 victory after the Tar Heels
had battled to a 20-20 tie in the dyiug moments of
the game. On the other hand, the worst defeat of
the season came at the hands of the young Moun-
taineers of West Virginia.
Frosh Soccer
The freshman counterpart of the hooter squad of
last year is being counted on for big things by the
156
new varsity team. Six stalwarts of last year's S. C.
champ varsity team have graduated, leaving manv
vacancies to he filled.
The 1950 freshman soccer team earned a .500
average for a live game schedule hy winning two
games, losing two, and tying one. Victories were
earned over Mount St. Joseph's of Baltimore and
Si. vUbans of Washington. Navy and Frostburg
Slate were the two winners over the Terps while the
Lniversitv of Virginia was the lone tie.
Frosh Track
An indoor track championship was the main
achievement of the frosh tracksters during the past
year. A fairly unsuccessful cross country season
found the freshmen dropping four meets. Several
outstanding distance and sprint men showed up on
the past freshman teams who will holster the com-
ing varsity squad. Last year's varsity won its first
outdoor title in Maryland history.
Frosh Basketball
(^oach IJurris llusmaii arid his team of frosh
hoopsters scored 11 wins out of 16 gatnes in the
1950—51 baskethall campaign and gave promise of
passing several outstanding players along as varsity
material.
Leading scorers of the frosh were Ed Cahill and
Gene Shue. They lalHed 158 and 154 points, respec-
tively. Of special note was the fact that quite a
few of the frosh were tall, and height has heen needed
!»y the varsity five.
The heller than average record included wins
over George Washington, Georgetown, and Loyola.

Freshman baseball usually issues its call shortly
after the regular nine starts jjractice.
Frosh Tennis
Nearby high schools furnished most of the com-
petition for the freshman netters as they swatted
through fairly successful. Among the tennis pros-
pects who will be moving up to vie for a varsity
berth this year are John Myer, Howard Golding,
and Ray Blank. All three had long unbeaten streaks
(hning the last campaign.
Frosh Lacrosse
\ highly satisfactory stick season found the
freshmen winning four matches and losing only one.
Coach Charlie Herbert and his team lost only to a
sharp shooting Navy Plebe ten while licking such
outfits as Hopkins, Baltimore Junior College,
Charlotte Hall, and Severn. The win over Hopkins,
(he first for a Terp team in live years, was an omen
of bigger things to come on the varsity field.
The lacrosse squad is also ready and willing to
accept the frosh talent to fill the many positions left
empty by June graduation.
Frosh Golf
The varsity golf team is one that is counting on
some experience to bolster the coming season's
record. The freshman team of last year will have
to provide much of that experience. Bill Bruppert
and Don Beach are two linksmen who figure in the
rebuilding plans of the varsity mentor.
The lr<jsh golf team usually makes the roun<ls of
the local high schools, most of whom plav a flashy
Itrand of iiolf.

Men 5 Intramurals
From a slatistiral standpoint Maryland's main
athletic activity is not carried out bv the varsity
teams that compete in intercollegiate circles, but,
instead, on the intramural level within the Uni-
versity.
More than 1,500 men of the Universitv participate
in intramural athletics in one form or another. The
sports include touch football, horseshoes, tennis,
cross country, boxing, wrestling, badminton, volley-
ball, basketball, table tennis, bowling, foul shooting,
gymnastics, softball, golf and track.
All of the team sports are divided into both Open
and Fraternity leagues, with the winners of each
playing for the school title at the end of the season.
Often, winners of the various events participate
in tournaments against the winners from other near-
by schools. This adds competition to the program.
Maryland teams have always proved successful in
these tournaments.
Among the many prizes and trophies that are
awarded, a cup is presented each vear to the fra-
ternity which has amassed the post points. .Medals,
gold for the first place team members and silver for
the second place team, are presented for each sport.
The intramural program at Maryland is directed
by Coach Jim Kehoe. '^Fbe intranniral office is
located in the Armory.

Women's Intramurals
The inlrainiiral program for women was eslali-
Jished bv the Women's Physical Education Depart-
ment. The Department is uiven assistance by the
Women's Recreational Association, a student or-
ganization composed of physical education majors.
This program is set tip to insure activities starling
shortly after registration and lasting through May.
These activities include all popular sports.
Tournaments are held each year in hockev,
bowling, basketball, volleyball and badminton.
Each tournament is sponsored and governed by the
Women's Recreational Association. The sororities,
the women's dormitories, daydodgers, and facultv
members enter teams in these contests. A campus
champion is determined in each sport.
Women's intramurals are directed by Dr. Dorothv
Deach. The offices for all women's athletics are
located in the Women's Fieldhousc.
161
Swimming Pool
Last year there vv as great activity at the Woineirs
Field House. Everyone was curious about the
addition which slowly materialized. This Fall
Freshman women will be able to enjoy the new
facilities. The addition to the Women's Field House
contains a new swimming pool which is the standard
size, 75 by 35 feet. The depth of the pool ranges from
three feet six inches at the shallow end to ten feet in
the deep section. At the deep end of the pool are
two one-meter diving boards; a seven foot six inch
wide walkway borders the water. The primary tile
colors are white and green, while the numerals and
lane markings on the floor of the pool are in blue,
black, and tan. Light to illuminate the structure is
obtained by windows set high in the walls and by
aluminum capped light bulbs and flood lights.
There are locker facilities for approximatelv (iflv
girls, as well as a hair-drying room and showers.
The overall height of the building on the outside
varies from 27 feet over the pool area to 35 feet over
the rest of the structure. On the first floor is a
lounge, and office space for members of the Wo-
men's Physical Education department faculty. The
second floor contains a dance studio, a body me-
chanics room and a photo lab which is adjacent to
the exercise room.

Songs and Cheers
Much of the romance surrounding college life is
connected with the enthusiasm and music attendant
at football games and other athletic events. No
college's story would be complete without the songs
and "cheers which express its spirit. Maryland's
rapid growth as a state university and its newly
acquired position as a leader in collegiate sports has
brought more and larger crowds to fill the spacious
stadium. Maryland has its share of expressive
songs woven about the history and environment of
the University. Cheers add to the enthusiasm and
color of the big games. That you may better join
in the enthusiasm and excitement that sweep an ex-
pectant crowd, you will want to learn the school
songs and cheers.
The main organizers of the pre-garne pep rallies
are the members of the STUDENT ACTIVITIES
COMMITTEE. The purpose of this group is to
back the teams by rallies, away-game send-offs and
airport welcomes,'and to increase student interest in
athletic programs.
Where the Student Activities Committee stops,
the CHEER-LEAD^ERS begin. Theirs is the task of
welding a large number of excited spectators into a
unified^ cheering group. Game-time warm-ups in
cheering and songs, as their participation in the
numerous half-time activities, make the cheerleaders
invaluable in providing the much publicized "big-
game atmosphere."

Drink to the Terrapin!
All bold hearted men.
We have no fear of hell.

Bottoms up! Bottoms up!
To Maryland.
