The 1954 M-Book is dedicated
to Dr. Wilson H. Elkins, income-
ing President of the University
of Maryland.
Letter from the President
Education, at best, is a cooperative enterprise.
The administration, faculty, and staff of the Uni-
versity of Maryland are employed for the sole pur-
pose of serving the students and the citizens of
Maryland. The extent of our success depends, in a
large measure, on your desire to be educated.
As a newcomer to Maryland, I am privileged to
begin my freshman year along with the new stu-
dents of 1954, and to aid in the maintenance of
favorable conditions for all of the students, on or
off campus. Our heritage is something of which
we can be proud, and it is our responsibility to en-
rich everything that has been developed and to
share in the creation of additional benefits.
Your opportunities at the University of Mary-
land are almost unlimited. If you will take advant-
age of the educational program, in and out of the
classroom, you will reap rewards which are deserved
only by those who plan and work.
Good luck! But give luck a chance by doing
your best.
WILSON N. ELKIN,
President

Traditions
The face of the campus changes. New buildings
are constructed, old ones torn down. The students,
professors, and curriculum change but the only un-
changing elements in the transient school scene
are the traditions. Maryland has its well-loved tradi-
tions—events, parties, and ceremonies.
The school season swings into action with fratern-
ity and sorority rushing. The greek organizations
look over prospective members and vice versa, by
means of a round of almost continuous parties,
open houses, teas, and smokers. "Rush" is the per-
fect name for it, ask any freshman! This colorful
introduction into college life is interspersed by
Registration and various Orientation activities, such
as the annual Terrace Dance, planned to facilitate
the adjustment of the freshmen to the University.
Next big annual event on the calendar is the
football season. Led by the cheerleaders, there are
pep and noise rallies before the games, and school
spirit is at its peak. Homecoming is the high point
of the football season with the old grads re-appear-
ing, dorms, sorority and fraternity houses gay with
decorations, the crowning of the Homecoming
Queen and the big Homecoming dance.
Annual events which follow are the three Ross-
borough dances. University Theatre productions,
8
the KA Minstrel show and the Aqualiner's water
ballet.
Christmas is impicssi\cly celebrated at Maryland.
There is a pageant, followed by the lighting of a
huge Christmas tree in front of the Administration
building. The chapel bells add Christmas carols
to their hourly rendition of "Maryland, My Mary-
land," and the dorms go caroling all over the cam-
pus. Christmas formals are given by the fraternities
and sororities, and on the last day before vacation
there are even tablecloths on the dining hall tables!
Spring at Maryland is ushered in by such activ-
ities as the Interfraternity Sing, Spring Week, and
May Day, which is one of Maryland's oldest tradi-
tions. On May Day, there is dancing around a
May Pole on the Mall, followed by the coronation
of the May Queen, a senior elected by the junior
women. Mortar Board taps its new members at
this time.
Also on the scene each spring are the campus
elections with a grand confusion of electioneering,
publicity and parades.
The spring lacrosse game wath Maryland's arch
rival, Navy, is one of the year's most hotly contest-
ed athletic contests. Proms, spring formals, and the
annual alumni-varsity football game complete the
Maryland spring scene.
Just before graduation, the annual Honors and
Awards Assembly gives recognition for excellence
in scholarship, sports, ROTC, and other phases of
University life.
Maryland has also its traditions not connected
with special events. There is Testudo, the Univer-
sity's mascot, who formerly rested on a pedestal in
front of the Coliseum. Early in the football sea-
son, he would mysteriously disappear, reappearing
just as mysteriously just before a big game. Now
the bronze wanderer is permanently anchored at
the entrance to Byrd Stadium.
Then at last-graduation. After four years, the
student leaves the University with memories of
traditions which have enriched his life at Mary-
land.
University Seal , . .
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.
The escutcheon bears the Calvert and Crosslands
arms quartered. The first and fourth quarters are
the Calvert Arms. The second and third quarters
10
are from the Crossland, Baltimore's maternal arms.
An earl's coronet and full-faced helmet are sur-
mounted 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, Maryland and Avalon. Below the figures is
the scroll bearing the Calvert motto: 'Tatti Maschii
Parole Famine," which means "deeds are Males;
words, females." On a border encircling the seal
is the legend: "University of Maryland . . . 1807
1856 . . . 1920.
History
The University of Maryland began in 1807 when
the College of Medicine was founded in Baltimore.
Since then, school after school has been added until
now Maryland is one of the most rapidly growing
universities in the country, reaching students both
here and overseas.
Soon after the Medical School was founded,
several other professional colleges were established—
the School of Law in 1823, the School of Dentistry
in 1882, the School of Nursing in 1889, and in
1904, the Maryland College of Pharmacy. Mean-
while the Maryland Agricultural College at College
Park had opened its doors in 1856 as the first agri-
cultural college in the United States.
It was not until the 1862 Congressional Land
Grant Act that this school became, in part, a state
institution. Under this law, the school was one of
the first to receive federal aid to education.
Finally, the professional schools of the University
of Baltimore and the Maryland State College in
College Park merged in 1920 into what is now
the University of Maryland. Since that time the
school has expanded through its Overseas Extension
Program, into Africa, Germany, Iceland and re-
mote spots all over the world.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION
• SGA
The Student Government Association, the organi-
zation for student self-government, is made up of
three divisions, the Executive Council, the Men's
League and the Associated Women Students.
The Executive Council is the policy-making
group, whose duties include appropriating funds
from the student activity fee for dances, the Uni-
versity Theatre, student publications and other
student activities carried on by its various com-
mittees. Executive Council meetings are held every
two weeks and are open to all students.
The Men's League and the Associated Women
Student's organizations are responsible for the en-
forcement of campus regulations.
Elections
Elections for SGA and class officers are held an-
nually in the spring. Primaries are held for offices
for which three or more students are competing.
A 2.0 overall average is the only requirement to
become a candidate.
Freshman class elections are held in October and
are open to all freshmen who secure petitions
20
from the SGA office and have the required number
of freshman signatures prior the deadline.
Committees
The Student Government Association operates
through committees, set up by the Executive Coun-
cil and open to all students. Chairmanships are
open to those who submit applications stating their
qualifications and experience. Sub-committee chair-
manships and committee members are chosen by
the chairman on the basis of experience.
SGA committees under the constitution are Ways
and Means, Elections, Organizations and Procedure
and special committees, like Student Welfare, Social
Affairs, Campus Improvement, Student Activities,
Constitution, Campus Chest, Freshman Orienta-
tion, Homecoming, Dad's Day, Student Union, Cul-
tural Program, Public Relations, Traffic Appeals,
Job Placement and Who's Who.
The President of the Executive Council has al-
ready named the chairmen for the following com-
mittees: Who's Who, Student Activities, Freshmen
Orientation, Homecoming, Dad's Day, Student
Union and Traffic Appeals. These chairmen will
hold office throughout year. Some committees,
like the Ways and Means, Who's Who, and the
21
Elections committees require special knowledge of
campus functions, organizations and personalities
and are not usually open to freshmen, but the re-
maining groups welcome new members.
You, as a new student, may be appointed to any
of these committees by submitting an application
to the SGA office during the first two weeks of
school. State your qualifications and experience,
campus or home address, and telephone number,
and address the application to the chairman of the
committee of your choice.
For class prom chairmanships watch the Dia-
mondback for notices of when to apply. Home-
coming and Dad's Day are two big fall projects
and require a lot of planning and work. AppHca-
tions for both of these committees will be accepted
in the fall.
The Campus Chest is an organization under
SGA which conducts a consolidated drive for funds
on campus. The Campus Chest Week, which in-
cludes a carnival and a contest for the "Ugliest
Man on the Campus," raises the funds for many
welfare groups.
The Student Union committee is new, and was
set up to see that the new Student Union Building
is run smoothly. The committee also handles the
fund-raising Friday night movies.

From
The SGA
President .
p
mk
It is both a pleasure and a privilege for me to
welcome you, as new students, to the University
of Maryland and to the activities of the Student
Government Association.
These activities, with a few exceptions, are spon-
sored and financed entirely by the SGA. Therefore,
the Executive Council solicits your cooperation, so
that the entire student body may receive even
greater benefits from its student government.
On behalf of the Executive Council and the stu-
dent body, I extend to you our heartiest greetings
with a reminder that a student supported SGA
will better serve you.

The Men's League is the representative body of
all the male students on campus. Its functions and
duties are coordinated to assist the men students.
Functionally, the Men's League consists of the
Executive Council and the Dormitory Council. The
Executive Council is made up of the elected officers
who are chosen in the campus-wide elections in
the spring. These are the president, vice-president,
and class representatives. A temporary secretary
and treasurer have been appointed this year until
they can be elected this fall during freshman-class
elections. Also on the Council are representatives
from various organizations on campus— Independent
Student's Association, Interfraternity Council, Ag
Council, Men's Glee Club, Arnold Air Society, Per-
shing Rifles, and Daydodgers Club.
The Dormitory Council is made up of the elect-
ed presidents of the individual dormitories and acts
as the supervisory and disciplinary branch of Men's
League for misdemeanors committed by men stu-
dents.

• SORORITIES
The Panhellenic Association welcomes you to the
University of Maryland and extends to you an in-
vitation to join the University's extra-curricular,
social program by participating in sorority rushing.
We believe that sorority life offers many opportun-
ities. Besides introducing you to many phases of
campus life a sorority enables you to broaden your
social responsibility, group relations, scholarship,
reliability, and loyalty.
When you rush, visit each sorority and judge
each group according to your standards of friends.
Although choosing the sorority best for you is not
easy, ample opportunities to visit groups have been
arranged.
The Panhellenic
Association wishes
you success in both
college and sorority
life. We hope each
of you will take ad-
vantage of the active
college program that
the University of
Maryland offers.

Pan-Hellenic Council
President Joy Covert
Vice-President Pat Hoover
Secretary Louise Huebech
Treasurer Paula Salganik
The Pan-Hellenic Council coordinates and
governs campus sorority activities such as rushing,
pledging and initiation of members. Last year their
activities included sponsoring the annual fall Pledge
Dance, adopting a foster child, and cooperating
with SGA in its efforts to carry out student rules
and plans. Each sorority is represented on the
Council by one voting member. Through the
Council, the sororities are able to solve mutual
social and scholastic problems and work for closer
relationships among sorority women.
Standard Pan-Hellenic Rules
Any woman eligil)lc for matriculation at the Uni-
versity and unafliliatcd witli any National Pan-
hellenic Fraternity is cHgible for rushing.
A pledgeship expires one calendar year from the
date of pledging at which time the student is
eligible to pledge another sorority. This rule is
binding to any campus on which the student may
matriculate.
33
Important Rush Rules
All sorority women and students interested in rush-
ing should be familiar with, understand, and ad-
here to these rush rules.
Formal rushing is the period beginning on Sep-
tember 10, 1954, with open house teas, and con-
tinuing until pledging on September 18, 1954. Rush
functions will be held at specified times only.
Alpha Epsilon Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Sigma
Delta Tau will interrupt their rush program with
the observance of Yom Kipper holidays, pledging
their women a few days later than the other
sororities.
No women, except sorority actives, pledges and
rushes may be present for rush functions. Rushees
will be allowed to visit sorority houses for speci-
fied functions only.

A fraternity's purposes are manifold. It assists
the freshman in orienting himself to a new life
on campus, encourages scholarship, and furnishes
living quarters. It helps to crystallize habits,
broaden outside interests, and increase social poise.
It provides training and prepares the college gradu-
ate for his future as an American citizen.
The fraternities at Maryland are proud of their
organizations and sincerely hope to show you
through their houses and enjoy your company dur-
ing rushing. See you then.

Interfraternity Council
President John Rice

The Interfraternity Council, composed of repre-
sentatives of all the fraternities on campus, is the
"UN of fraternity life." The Council, which strives
to strengthen and maintain the interfraternity sys-
tem on campus, promotes friendly and coopera-
tive relations between fraternities.
Council activities begin with supervision of fra-
ternity rushing in order that each rushee has an
opportunity to visit every chapter. Fraternity Way,
which explains fraternity life, is published by the
council for the use of all rushees.
"Help Week" which replaces "Hell Week" for
fraternity initiates is put into effect by the Inter-
fraternity Pledge Council with the direction of the
IFC.
Near the end of the first semester the Council
sponsors the Interfraternity Ball which offers Greek
men and their dates an opportunity to mingle
socially in a large body instead of individual
groups. At the ball the Council presents activity
cups to the fraternities which have participated
outstandingly in the IFC sponsored intramural
sports.

Fraternity Criteria
The National Interfraternity Conference, found-
ed in 1908, serves to bring about closer harmony
among the 64 national fraternities in the group.
Annually, national undergraduate councils and col-
lege administrators attend a conference, the re-
sults of which are reported in the NIC yearbook.
A fraternity criteria, which serves to advance
fraternity-education institution cooperation, was
submitted by NIC executives in 1934 and approved
by the American Association of Deans and Ad-
visors of Men. It reads as follows:
1. That the objectives and activities of the fratern-
ity 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 . . . with his institution are to the
institution, and that ... a chapter of a fra-
ternity involves the definite responsibility . . .
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 atmosphere
which will stimulate substantial intellectual pro-
gress and superior intellectual achievement.

ISA
Ihe Maryland chapter of the Independent Stu-
dent's Association has been dusting off the "Wel-
come" mat all summer, just for this occasion.
The Independent Student's Association is a low-
cost social organization designed for the student
who cannot afford the expenses of a fraternity or
sorority or doesn't want to shoulder the time-con-
suming obligations of Greek life. It offers dances,
picnics, parties and full participation in intra-
mural sports, as well as representation in the stu-
dent goxernment and other campus-wide activities.
We have mention-
ed only a few of the
many activities plan-
ned for this year,
but the ISA is still
looking for new
ideas. You can help
us better serve the
University and its
students by joining
the ISA and support-
ing it.

Secretary Amanda Wall

Faculty Advisor John Daiker
ISA is the campus organization for all independ-
ent students, and was established to provide a social
organization for those students who were not affili-
ated with other social fraternities. To achieve
this, the group holds an Autumn Barn Dance each
fall an annual Xmas party, and is now making
plans for a banquet and formal to be held some-
time next spring. Parties, and other social func-
tions are held throughout the year.
In addition to their activities, the independents
are now seeking permission from the Student Life
Committee to establish the Silver Key, a compan-
ion honorary to the fraternities' Gate and Key and
the sororities' Diamond, to honor those independ-
ent students most active in campus activities. ISA
hopes to make the first awards next spring.
In the fall, the club will have its own office in
the newly-constructed Student Union Building, in
which they will hold their 7 o'clock Monday night
meetings. All independents are invited to attend.

• THE CULTURAL PROGRAM
Several years ago, many students became aware
of the growing nimiber of plays, concerts, art ex-
hibits and musicals which were constantly being
produced in Washington, and a desire arose to
make these activities more available to students.
As a result, several campus organizations com-
bined their efforts to bring about this "campus
culture program". One of the first results of their
work was the appearance, in 1949, of the Na-
tional Symphony Orchestra, for a series of con-
certs in the Colesium. The enthusiastic student
response has brought the orchestra back each year,
bringing some of the world's finest music and per-
formers to the campus. Under the direction of Dr.
Howard Mitchell, the group performed many times
for large audiences, all at reduced student prices.
In addition to bringing the performers to cam-
pus, plans are underway for other activities which
will help students take advantage of the programs
and exhibits in the surrounding area. Special re-
duced prices for many of the better plays and
movies, and information concerning current activ-
ities in Washington will be more available to the
students, and sight-seeing tours of Washington and
other special trips are also under consideration.
Watch the Diainnndhnck for further information.

Dear Jane and Joe Journalist,
Your arrival on the University of Maryland cam-
pus was news. It was announced to the public by
the sounds of heavily laden, trunk filled cars, the
buzz of "ohs and ah's", the footsteps of 3,000
additional students, but mainly it was acknowl-
edged bv the publications. The Diamondback wrote
of vour entrance, the M Book was a guide for you
and the Old Line welcomed you.
Why not become a part of this gigantic organiza-
tion which is created to fill the students needs. To
do so, head toward the Publications Building where
the hum of typewriters may be heard far into the
night. Here you will find a place to practice all
the mechanics of good writing which you have
learned in English and Journalism classes. You will
find companionship in sharing the struggles of
other voung reporters whose earnest desire is to re-
port all the facts, portray campus life as it exists
and keep pace with the throbbing under-current of
news which is constantly breaking around campus.
You'll have fun while learning. I guarantee it.

three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. It will be found at campus distribution
points such as the Administration Building and
the Library.
Three different staffs produce the paper, so there
is room for reporters, artists, photographers, typists
and those who are interested in the business side
of newspaper production.

AFROTC Activities
Ihc ROTC program begins early in the fall semes-
ter with the issuance of uniforms and regularly
scheduled drill periods. Drill is suspended during
the winter months and begun again in April. Final
drill sessions take place on Military Day— in the
middle of May.
Drill proficiency and other outstanding military
achievements are exhibited and rewarded on Mili-
tary Day. This day culminates the achievements
of the ROTC program for the year.
In addition, the Air Force Ball gives a welcome
relief to the drill program and gives each cadet
a chance to take his best girl to a formal military
social function. The corps of cadets also partici-
pates in a mass march-on at one of the games near
the end of the football season.
The High Command
Operations of the AFROTC unit are supervised
by half a hundred regular Air Force personnel,
who must keep detailed records on each cadet in
the largest AFROTC unit in the country as well
as provide classroom and drill instruction.
The Commanding Officer in the organization is
the Professor of Air Science and Tactics, who coor-
dinates the activities of the unit. This position is

• ATHLETICS
J i.
1%^-
Athletics, both intercollegiate and intramural, play
an important part in the college career of every
student of the University. There is an excellent
intramural program the year around for the stu-
dents who do not make the varsity teams.
The Athletic Council sponsors an intercollegiate
program in all sports at the University. Every
student is invited and urged to come out for these
sports.
Don't wait for a special invitation or don't assume
you are not good enough for the best. If you
can't make the team, join with the rest of the
student body in being the extra player in the
stands to create the spirit which makes the men
who finally earn the honor to represent you play
their best. If you can't
play a sport, be a sport.
The morale of the stu-
dent body is important to
the caliber of your ath-
letic teams and you can
furnish the morale.
JAMES TATUM,
Director of Athletics

Year of Champions . . .
The football team, for the first time in its history,
was named the NATION'S NUMBER ONE TEAM,
while the rifle team became the first team since
1935 to be named the Nation's best in that sport
two consecutive years.
The boxing team nearly brought the University
its third National championship when it missed
winning the team title by two points. However,
Gary Garber and Vincent Palumbo took individual
National boxing titles.
The All-American City tournament went to the
I errapin basketball team, with All-America Gene
Shue the pacesetter.
Atlantic Coast Conference titles went to the
wrestling, soccer, and indoor and outdoor track
teams.
All-America's were galore at Maryland. Besides
Shue in basketball, Bernie Faloney, Chet Hanulak
and Stan Jones were selected in football, with
Jones named the "Lineman of the Year." George
Corrigan was a first team and Rennie Smith a sec-
ond team choice in lacrosse. Jim Wells, Bud Bar-
ton and Bob Martorana were rifle All-Americas,
the first time three men from one team have ever
been selected.
James Tatum was named 'Football Coach of the
^ear," but to Terrapin fans, he is "Athletic Direc-
tor of the Year. ■
128
Football
Head Coach James M. Tatum
"Maryland, we're all behind you," goes the Mary-
land Victory Song and all the football teams in the
country were behind Maryland last year as the
Terrapins were unanimously chosen the NUMBER
ONE TEAM IN THE NATION.
"Coach of the Year" Jim Tatum's Split-T offense
was served to 10 opponents in 1953 and all ten
Avent down to defeat— six by shutouts.
Termed what Tatum called his best backfield
ever, the quartet of Bernie Faloney at quarterback,
Chet Hanulak and Dick Nolan at the halfbacks and
Ralph Felton at fullback enabled Maryland never
to be behind or tied all season.
Hanulak from Hackensack, led the Nation's run-
ners with a 9.8 yards per carry, while Faloney was
named on most All-Americas.
Opening up the holes in the line and doing a
stellar job on defense was "Lineman of the Year"
Stan Jones. Jones headed a line that held the op-
position to 31 points all season.
As has happened the past four years, the Number
One team went down to defeat in a bowl game.
This time Oklahoma pulled the coup de grace,
7-0, in the Orange Bowl.
129
Soccer
Coach Doyle P. Royal
Maryland's soccer team got the 1953-54 athletic sea-
son off to a winning start by taking the first of
four of Maryland's Atlantic Coast Conference
championships.
Five All-Conference players paced the Terrapins
to a sweep of three conference games and eight of
ten for the year. Charles Reynolds, Jose Hagedorn,
Otto Winckleman, Tom Baden and Hector Salinas
were named to the All-ACC team.
The outstanding game of the season was the 6-5
overtime win over Navy. It was the first time Mary-
land had beaten Navy in 10 years. Other wins were
over Duke, North Carolina State, Loyola, Connecti-
cut, North Carolina, Washington and Lee and
Western Maryland.
130
Rifle
Three All- Americas led the Maryland rifle team to
its second consecutive National Intercollegiate Rifle
team title. It was the first time since 1934-35 that
any team has repeated as National champions.
James Wells, and Bob Martorana were named All-
America for the first time, while Bud Barton was
a holdover from last year's National Rifle Associa-
tion All-America team. Dick Gorey and Linn Sav-
age completed the quintet that fired a score of
1439 out of a possible 1500 to pace the Terrapins
over some 90 schools competing in 14 sectional
meets for the national title.
During the regular season the marksmen downed
five of six opponents, losing only to Army. That
loss was avenged later in an eight team meet, as
did the AFRO IC team avenge the football loss in
the Orange Bowl by downing the University of
Oklahoma AFROTC team.
131
Wrestling
Coach William Krouse
Coach William E. "Sully" Krouse's wrestlers started
in the new Atlantic Coast Conference right where
they left off in the old Southern Conference, by
taking their third consecutive conference champion-
ship.
Instrumental in the drive to the conference titles
were the indomnitable Fischer Brothers— Bob and
Ernie. The graduating seniors lost only one match
each in their four years of college wrestling.
Ernie, who went to the finals of the NCAA Na-
tional championships in the 177 pound class last
year, won 29 matches, while Bob had 31 wins in
the 167 pound class. Both were Southern Confer-
ence champs in 1952 and 1953 and undefeated in
1954.
132
Boxing
^^'^^'^ Frank Cronin
While boxing is on the dechne at most colleges,
Maryland's ring team moved to the front this past
season by winning the Eastern Intercollegiates and
finishing only two points behind Wisconsin for the
National title.
While the team couldn't win the National title,
sophomores Gary Garber and Vincent Palumbo
slugged their way to individual National titles in
the 119 and 132 pound classes respectively.
In winning the Eastern Intercollegiates, for the
first time since 1942, Maryland ended a five year
reign by Syracuse. Heavyweight Leo Coyne and
Garber won Eastern titles.
In dual team matches the Terps, who will go to
the Sugar Bowl this year, won three and lost three.

463.)
133
Cross-Country
and Track
^'"('(^1' Jim Kehoe
Track has no definite season at Maryland, it lasts
the whole year.
In the fall, Maryland's cross-country team drop-
ped its first two starts, but came back strong to win
the next three and a second place finish in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
While lacking an outstanding star, Kehoe's teams
have adequate men and depth in almost every
event, getting most of their points in seconds and
thirds.
Maryland dominated the ACC track seasons, by
capturing both the Indoor and Outdoor champion-
ships. The Terps took six firsts in the Indoor
games, including a record breaking pole vault of
13' 34" by Mel Schwarz.
134
Basketball
Coach Bud Millikan
Basketball Avas at its best last year at Maryland
and promises to be even better this year.
Gene Shue, first draft choice of the pro Philadel-
phia Warriors, paced the Terrapins to 23 wins in
30 games, for the best Maryland basketball record
in history.
With Shue voted the outstanding player of the
tournament, Maryland walked off with the first
All-Anierican City title at Owensboro, Kentucky.
Coach Bud Millikan's defensive-minded Terrapins
will defend that title this year.
The Terps hope to improve on their second place
standing in the Atlantic Coast Conference and lick
the semi-final jinx that has eliminated them in the
Conference tournament for four years.
135
Golf
C^^^'f' Frank Cronin
Coach Frank Cronins golf team opened and closed
the season with losses, but in-between the team
was hot, fashioning a six-game win streak.
For the year, the golfing Terrapins ended up on
the plus side of the scorecard with eight wins
against six losses. The Terrapins dropped their
first two starts, but came back with two 9-0 wins
before going on a three match losing streak. Then
came the six match win streak before dropping the
season's finals.
Sophomore Jim DiPiro had the best record with
nine wins in the fourteen matches, followed by
Carl Kroneberger with eight wins playing in the
number one position. DiPiro finished one stroke
behind Wake Forest's National Collegiate champion
Arnold Palmer's 72 in the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence tournament.
Kroneberger was medalist in two matches, as was
DiPiro. Only other medalist was Bill McFerren.
Home matches are played at the Prince Georges'
Country Club off campus, but a nine-hole course
is to be constructed in the near future adjacent to
Byrd Stadium.
(Coach Cronin can be contacted through extension
463.)
136
Baseball
Coach H. Burton Shipley
Maryland's baseball team was riding high on top
of the Atlantic Coast Conference with an eight
game winning streak and headed for its best sea-
son ever, until it dropped five of its last six games.
That streak gave Clemson (8-4) the ACC title, with
Maryland (6-4) second. Maryland could have tied
for the lead, but conceded the title to Clemson as
two rained-out games were cancelled.
The overall season's record in Coach Burton Ship-
ley's 31st year was 15 wins, nine losses and a tie.
Seven players batted over .300 with Bill Walker's
.365 the team's best and third best in the ACC.
Hemphill won seven of ten games, while Russ Duf-
fey dropped only one of seven decisions, for an
earned run average of 1.35.
137
Tennis
Coach Doyle Royal
It was either feast or famine for the Terrapin
tennis team last year. In winning ten of fifteen
matches, the Terrapins were involved in six 9-0
matches and four 8-1 matches.
Of the ten one-sided affairs the Terps came out
best seven times, including a three match streak
when they shutout Maine, Western Maryland and
West Virginia.
The Terrapins dropped the opener but came back
strong to win the next seven in a row for Coach
Doyle Royal. Maryland (4-1) finished second to
North Carolina (5-0) in the ACC standings.
John Myers won 12 of fifteen matches to top the
nctmen. Bud Leightheiser (11-4) and Jack Clifford
(10-5) also were outstanding. Myers and Clifford
formed the top doubles team with a 12-3 record.
Home matches are played on the tennis courts
behind the Women's Field House, but new courts
are to be constructed in the near future adjacent
to the new Activities Building.
138
Lacrosse
Co-Coaches . . . Jack Faber and Al Hagey
With an attack many called the best in the Nation,
Maryland was rated an early season choice for the
National lacrosse title, especially after it had rout-
ed Virginia 18-7.
The Terrapins rolled to easy wins in their first
five games, but a noted weakness was a defense
that wasn't up to championship standards. That
weakness was verified in the Navy game, as the
Terrapins fell, 12-7. Maryland finished with nine
wins in 12 games.
Princeton bowed to the Terrapins, 13-9, in a game
where Maryland scored a goal a minute for the
first seven minutes.
George Corrigan was selected as an All-America
attackman.
{Coach Faber can be contacted at T304 or through
exten-iion 231.)
139
Freshman Basketball . . .
Tops, recordwise, was the frosh basketball team
with 10 wins in 11 games. Moving up to the var-
sity next season will be leading scorer Frank Fuqua
6'7" center, who scored 40 points in one game; Bob
O'Brien and Mark Vodopia, set shot artists; drivers
Drew Schaufler, Bob Nardone and Bob Hardiman.
All possess height and speed and fit well into
varsity coach Bud Millikan's future plans.
Freshman Sports
The minor leagues at Maryland are the freshman
teams and its here that future Maryland stars are
developed.
The "basic training" received under the guidance
)f experienced coaching personnel is the first step
cowards the varsity. Even if you weren't great \n
high school, don't let that stop you from trying
out for a freshman sport. The starting center on
last year's varsity basketball team wasn't a first
stringer in high school, but under coaching and
development here at Maryland was the team's sec-
ond highest scorer.
Like the varsity, freshman sports at Maryland last
vear had good seasons.
140
Freshman Baseball . . .
Phil Calder's .409 batting average headed the list
of seven .300 plus batting averages on the frosh
baseball team, which split in six games.
Bob Kiatta batted .333 and hit the team's only
home run.
Stanley Bobb (1-0) and Pat Cinnamond (2-1) ac-
counted for the top pitching.
Freshman Football . . .
The freshman football season was a success, if
only because of the first win ever scored over the
Naval Academy Plebes. Coach Whitey Dovell's team
finished with a 3-1 record, but like the varsity, lost
in a bowl game to Bullis Prep.
Boys who have moved up to the varsity are Frank
Tamburello, quarterback; guard Jack Davis, tackle
Mike Sandusky, center Gene Alderton and half-
backs Howie Dare, Ralph Hawkins, Harold Hull,
John McVicker and Jack Healy.
Freshman Lacrosse . . .
Coach Danny Bf)nthron's frosh lacrosse team won
four and dropped three for the season. Goalie Dick
McNichols and attackman Frank Walsh are two
boys who should help this year's varsity, after a
good year on the frosh team.
141
Iniramurals
Men's Jim Kehoe, Director
The Men's intramural program is divided into two
divisions, the Open and Fraternity Leagues. The
winners of each sport in each division playoff for
the University intramural championship. Winners
in each sport are awarded medals.
The University Intramural Department has form-
ulated a program, which includes 26 activities, de-
signed to provide recreational activity for male
students.
Any group may enter teams in the Open League,
with entries available in the intramural office in the
Armory.
(Coach Kehoe cati be contacted in the Armory at
extension 370.)
Wotnen's Dorothy Deach, Director
The Women's Recreation Association coordinates
the women's intramural program. The WRA offers
coeds swimming, badminton, tennis, bowling, bas-
ketball, volleyball and archery.
The WRA is run by the women students and is
open to all women on campus. Tournaments are
held between dorms and sororities with awards and
trophies going to the winners. Each year the WRA
sponsors a "Sports Day" with other such groups
from nearby Colleges and Universities.

SONGS AND CHEERS
:/.
-j^.
With the Student Activities Committee and the
cheerleaders behind it, Maryland's school spirit
has reached an all-time high. The student's re-
sponse in the football card sections and "meet the
team" jaunts, and at pep rallies and "noise par-
ades" have shown that the work of these organiza-
tions has been enthusiastically supported.
The cheerleaders, under Gary Hayman, will put
forth all their efforts to give the teams backing and
support.
To display loyalty to our teams, all the students
at the university contribute— by their attendance
and voices at all university sports activities. One
of the best ways to show your loyalty to the school
is to know the school songs and cheers. Then you
can show your team that you are behind them.
Not all of these songs and cheers are traditional.
In their efforts to keep the school cheers fresh
and new, SAC and the cheerleaders sponsor a
cheer contest each spring so that everyone can
suggest new cheers. This way, as new students
enter the University, new cheers are added to the
collection— and Maryland's cheering spirit remains
on top.
145
