the  1955  m-book  is  dedicated 
to  the  freshman  class  with  the 
hope  that  it  will  serve  as  an 
informative  and  friendly  guide 
throughout  their  first  year  at 
the  university  of  maryland 


this  is  your  year 


You  walk  away  from  the  Coliseum  and  the 
opening  assembly  in  a  sort  of  puzzled  won- 
der— Can  there  be  that  many  new  students 
just  entering  like  myself? 

Walking  down  the  Mall  path  to  the  Armory, 
you  take  in  the  geometrically  planned  cam- 
pus, a  conglomeration  of  new  buildings  and 
historical  ones,  landscaped  into  postcard  per- 
fection. The  campus  eye-appeal  has  attracted 
you.  But  it  is  the  teeming  life  of  the  "little 
metropolis"  that  will  complete  the  chain  that 
ties  you  to   it. 

First  there  is  the  social  season,  beginning 
with  sorority  rushing  and  followed  later  in 
the  semester  by  fraternity  rushing.  Teas,  par- 
ties, smokers  and  pledging  make  the  world 
go  round.  Besides  Greek  flngs  are  a  vast  as- 
sortment of  Orientation  week  activities  for 
you.  From  the  placement  test,  where  you 
wonder  if  you  can  skip  English  I,  to  the 
Freshman  Mixer  at  the  end  of  the  week, 
where  the  typical  freshman  couple  is  picked, 
the  spotlight  is   on  the  frosh. 

The  football  season — crash,  bang,  fizz, 
whamm! — pep  rallies,  torchlight  parades,  car 
caravans  to  greet  the  returning  Terps  at 
National  Airport,  and  that  weekend  of  week- 
ends. Homecoming,  when  the  Greeks  compete 
for    decorations    and    floats,    old   grads    take 


Testudo,  a  Mary- 
Icnid  tradition,  the 
often  kidnapped 
symbol  of  Terp 
Town,  now  rests  on 
a  permanent  base  in 
front  of  the  Byrd 
:|   Stadium  field  house. 


oyer  the  campus,  and  you  escort  that  special 
girl  to  the  game  and  the  dance. 

With  the  change  in  -seasons,  a  thick  white 
snow  will  usually  cover  the  green  just  as  the 
Chapel  Chimes  sound  Christmas  Carols  be- 
tween classes.  The  Yuletide  Pageant  in  the 
Chapel,  the  lighting  of  the  outdoor  tree,  the 
Greek  Christmas  formals,  and  that  long,  long 
holiday  .  .  . 

All  the  while  things  are  buzzing  in  the 
Central  Auditorium.  University  Theater  has 
given  two  productions  already  and  perhaps 
one  in-the-round  besides.  The  Kappa  Alpha 
minstrel  and  the  Modern  Dance  Concert  fill 
other  nights. 

As  the  last  hours  of  the  morning  are  spent 

3 


before  the  last  final  exam  in  January, 
thoughts  begin  turning  to  a  quick  escape  from 
College  Park  between  semesters.  Then— What 
— registration   again? 

Spring  semester  brings  with  it  the  class 
proms,  the  Frosh  prom  for  you,  the  Inter- 
fraternity  Sing,  and  Spring  Week.  This  com- 
paratively new  innovation  is  devoted  to  a 
week  of  entertainment  just  before  June  exams. 
A  sample  of  regular  events— the  Turtle  Der- 
by; the  annual  musical  revue,  "Interlude  ; 
May  Day  and  Mortar  Board  tapping  of  junior 
women. 

We're  ahead  of  the  times.  It  is  almost  im- 
possible to  forget  the  hectic  spring  elections 
for  Student  Government,  the  Women-Pay-Ali 
Dance,  the  Sadie  Hawkins  Race,  the  No-Shave 
Week,  and  Ag  Weekend. 

Many  things  more  will  be  left  for  you  to 
discover  alone,  most  significant — the  sense 
of  accomplishment  after  the  long,  toilsome 
study  period  during  and  well  after  lecture 
halls  and  labs  have  passed  on,  the  joy  in  meet- 
ing and  working  with  others,  and  the  warmth 
of  college  friendships. 

In  simplest  language,  all  we  old  upperclass 
men  can  tell  you  is— make  the  most  of  it  here 
in  "Terp  Town!"

Dr.  Wilson  H.  Elkins,  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and 
three  letter  man,  was  born  in  Medina,  Texas, 
in  1908.  He  attended  the  University  of  Texas 
where  he  received  B.A.  and  M.A.  degrees. 
In  1933  he  was  awarded  a  Rhodes  Scholarship 
to  Oxford  University  where  he  attained  Bache- 
lor of  Literature  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy 
degrees  in  1936.  In  1938  he  became  president 
of  San  Angelo  Junior  College  and  in  1949  he 
went  to  Texas  Western  to  hold  the  same  posi- 
tion. He  was  inaugurated  as  president  of 
the  University  of  Maryland  on  October  29, 
1954.

from  the  president 


•  •  • 


Each  year  we  lose  a  number  of  students 
through  graduation  and  we  welcome  a  larger 
number  of  freshmen  who  begin  their  pursuit 
of  higher  education.  A  very  large  percentage 
of  the  newcomers  have  average  ability  or 
above  but,  unfortunately,  a  much  smaller  per- 
centage graduate.  The  loss  is  too  high,  al- 
though some  of  it  is  quite  natural. 

Too  many  students  come  to  the  University 
without  seriousness  of  purpose,  and  they  fail 
to  apply  their  abilities.  Most  failures  are  due 
to  lack  of  application  and  not  to  deficiencies. 

I  urge  you  to  consider  the  benefits  you  will 
derive  from  the  completion  of  a  college 
course  of  study.  It  affords  you  an  opportunity 
for  advancement.  It  is  clearly  in  your  in- 
terest to  do  ymir  best.  Good  luck  all  of  the 
way. 


Wilson  H.  Elkins

history 


Symbolic  of  the 
University's  e  v  er 
continuing  growth 
are  construction 
scenes  such  as  this 
one  on  the  new  i<tu- 
dent  Activities 
Building. 


The  -University  of  Maryland  dates  b^ck  to 
1807,  when  the  first  school  o™^  ]^"''.^' p'J 
the  College  of  Medicine,  was  founded  in  l^al 
toore  !n  more  than  140  years  since  its 
founding,  the  University  has  expanded,  both 
Xsicallv  and  scholastically,  until  it  now  oc- 
c'^apYes   a  poTiLn  as   one  of  the   leading  uni- 

^^SlL^tl^e  CoVegToZMed^         was  founded. 


12| 


there  followed  within  a  few  years  the  estab- 
lishment of  several  other  professional  schools. 
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. 

At  College  Park,  in  1856,  the  Maryland 
State  College,  the  first  agricultural  college 
in  the  United  States,  was  established  under 
the  name  of  the  Maryland  Agricultural  Col- 
lege. 

In  1862,  this  college  became,  in  part,  a 
state  institution  with  the  passage  of  the  Land 
Grant  Act  by  Congress.  It  was  one  of  the 
first  schools  to  benefit  from  this  act  and  the 
subsequent   federal    aids   to    education. 

In  1920,  the  professional  schools  of  the 
University  of  Baltimore  and  the  Maryland 
State  College  in  College  Park  were  merged 
to  form  what  is  now  known  as  the  University 
of  Maryland. 

maryland  today 

The  University  of  Maryland  is  not  limited  by 
the  College  Park  and  Baltimore  boundaries — 
it  stretches  overseas  to  virtually  every  part 
of  the  western  world  through  the  College  of 
Special  and  Continuation  Studies  founded  in 
1949.  The  CSCS  program  is  not  a  correspond- 
ence course;  it  consists  of  classroom  courses 
taught  by  instructors  who  must  be  approved 

13 


by    the    dean    of    their    respective    college    in 
College  Park. 

Although  much  of  the  overseas  program 
is  directed  at  military  personnel,  there  is  a 
Munich  Day-time  program  for  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  U.  S.  government,  military,  and 
civilian  personnel  in  Germany. 

In  typical  American  classrooms,  they  earn 
credit  at  a  fully  accredited  American  college 
established  overseas  under  the  supervision  of 
the  dean  of  CSCS.  The  Munich  students  pub- 
lish their  own  newspaper.  The  Continental 
Collegiate;  their  yearbook  is  not  the  just  plain 
Terrapin,  but  the  Bavarian  Terrapin. 

CSCS  also  maintains  a  vast  educational 
program  in  the  State  and  surrounding  area 
bringing  the  University  to  the  four  million 
square  mile  mark  with  over  150   sites. 


the  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  character. 

The  escutcheon  bears  the  Calvert  and  Cross- 
lands    arms   quartered.     The   first   and    fourth 

14 


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,  Maryland  and  Avalon. 
Below  the  figures  is  the  scroll  bearing  the 
Calvert  motto:  "Fatti  Maschii  Parole  Famine," 
v^hich  means  ''Deeds  are  Males;  words,  fe- 
males." On  a  border  encircling  the  seal  is 
the  legend:  University  of  Maryland  .  .  .  1807 
.  .  .  1856  .  .  .  1920.

from  the 
dean  of 
women 


It  gives  me  a  great  deal  of  pleasure  to  wel- 
come all  new  and  returning  students  to  the 
University  for  the  year  1955-56. 

We  hope  you  will  like  our  campus,  enjoy 
its  beauty  and  respect  our  traditions.  You 
will  find  Maryland  a  friendly  place  and  you 
will  form  lifelong  friendships  here.  Let  me 
urge  those  of  you  who  are  fortunate  enough 
to  have  both  the  privilege  and  the  responsi- 
bility of  a  college  education  to  make  the  most 
of  it. 

The  door  of  my  office  and  the  doors  of  my 
assistants  are  always  open  to  you.  We  want 
to  know  you  and  we  want  you  to  know  us, 
so  stop  by  and  get  acquainted.

sga  activities 


It  will  soon  become  customary  for  you  to 
pick  up  the  lastest  copy  of  the  Diamondback, 
campus  tri-weekly,  and  read  of  the  latest  con- 
troversy, proposal,  debate,  decision,  or  what 
have  you,  involving  the  Student  Government 
Association.  For  this  is  an  active  group,  dedi- 
cated to  satisfying  the  needs  of  students  and 
regulating  principles  and  policies.  The  SGA 
is  divided  into  three  parts: 

Executive  Council:  The  council  is  the  policy- 
making group.  Duties  include  appropriation 
of  funds  from  the  student  activity  fee,  paid 
at  registration,  for  dances.  University  Thea- 
ter, athletic  events,  publications,  and  other 
open  student  activities.  A  meeting  is  held 
every  two  weeks  on  Tuesday  night  in  the  Stu- 
dent Union  Bull  Room.  All  students  are  in- 
vited to  attend. 

Men's  League:  The  league  is  responsible 
for  enforcement  of  campus  regulations  con- 
cerning men  students.  Duties  cover  men's 
dorms. 

Associated  Women  Students:  The  AWS 
handles  much  the  same  job  as  Men's  League 
for  women  students  at  the  University.

will  be  held  several  weeks  before  the  Spring 
Elections.  All  candidates  must  have  a  2.0 
academic  average. 

Frosh  elections  are  held  in  October.  All 
freshmen  who  secure  petitions  from  the  SGA 
office  and  have  the  required  number  of  fresh- 
man signatures  prior  to  the  deadline  may  run

Welcome  to,  the  campus  of  the  University  of 
Maryland!  This  is  your  university,  and  the 
Student  Government  Association  hopes  that 
you  will  become  an  integral  part  of  it  just 
as  it  will,  in  the  chaotic  days  of  Freshman 
Orientation,  become  a  part  of  you. 

In  welcoming-  you  to  the  University  I 
would  like  to  emphasize  that  just  as  this 
is  your  university  so  are  we  of  the  executive 
council  your  student  government. 

The  University  of  Maryland  is  old  in  years 
and  traditions  but  in  its  ideas  and  continuing 
growth  it  retains  a  feeling  of  dynamic  youth. 
In  the  coming  year  there  will  be  new  plans 
to  discuss  and  new  problems  to  solve. 

I  hope  that  this  letter  will  serve  as  an 
open  bid  to  the  members  of  the  class  of  1959 
to  attend  our  meetings,  give  us  your  sugges- 
tions, and  visit  our  offices  in  the  Student 
Union  building  whenever  you  have  the  op- 
portunity.

The  dance  group  is  open  to  all  students  re- 
gardless of  previous  training  because  it  has 
the  twofold  purpose  of  introducing  dance  to 
the  campus  and  giving  students  an  oppor- 
tunity to  learn  its  techniques. 

The  annual  spring  concert  tops  the  list 
of  group  activities.  As  a  basis  for  dance  com- 
position in  past  concerts  the  men  in  the  group 
have  used  John  Steinbeck's  "Of  Mice  and 
Men"  while  the  group  has  utilized  James 
Thurber's  "The  Last  Flower"  and  Dante's 
"Inferno." 

Throughout  the  year  members  of  the  demon- 
stration group  give  dance  demonstrations  at 
area  high  schools.  Members  of  the  group 
participate  in  the  annual  May  Day  pageant 
and  in  the  Clef  and  Key — UT  musical. 

Meetings  are  held  on  Tuesday  evenings —

the  "Halls  of  Ivy"  during  football  half  times. 

During  the  year  the  glee  club  performed

panhellenic  council

Secretary  Shiela  Bryden 

Treasurer  Judy  Spencer 

Faculty  Advisor  Dean  Mary  Handy 

The  purpose  of  the  Panhellenic  Council  is  to 
promote  closer  cooperation  in  inter-sorority 
relationships,  to  maintain  high  scholarship 
and  social  standards,  and  to  formulate  and 
uphold  rules  governing  rushing,  pledging,  and 
initiation  of  sorority  women.  Each  sorority 
is  represented  by  one  voting  member.  The 
Council  annually  sponsors  the  fall  Pledge 
Dance,  and  last  spring  it  held  "Car  Wash 
Day"  to  raise  money  for  Campus  Chest,  and 
an   Easter  egg  roll  on  the   Mall  for  orphans. 


junior  council 

This  group,  compo.^cd 
of  pledge  representa- 
tives of  each  sorority, 
aims  to  acquaint 
representatives  with 
the  function  of  the 
Panhellenic  Council.

standard  panhellenic  rules 

Rushing-  is  held  at  the  beg-inning  of  each 
semester.  Second  semester  rushing  will  take 
place  in  February.  Informal  rushing-  follows 
the  formal  rushing-  periods  and  lasts  up  to 
a   council-set  deadline. 

Any  woman  eligible  for  matriculation  at 
the  University  and  unaffiliated  with  any  Na- 
tional Panhellenic  Fraternity  is  eligible  for 
rushing. 

There  is  a  silence  period  which  extends 
from  the  beginning  of  formal  rushing  to 
pledging  and  applies  to  all  sorority  girls. 
During  this  period  they  may  not  converse 
with  the*  rushees  at  any  time  other  than  at 
registered  rush  functions. 

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  in  which 
the   student  may  matriculate. 

Initiation  of  any  pledge  results  from  the 
completion  of  fifteen  credit  hours  in  the  pre- 
ceding semester  at  the  University  with  at 
least  a  C  average  and  no  failures  for  that 
semester.  These  women  must  be  students  in 
good  standing.

the  afrotc  program 


Every  Tuesday  and  Thursday  morning,  from 
mid-October  to  December  and  again  in  late 
spring,  the  green  fields  on  either  side  of  the 
Armory  are  covered  by  a  blanket  of  blue  .  .  . 
Air  Force  Blue  .  .  .  and  drill  begins  again  for 
the  second  largest  Air  Force  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Corps  in  the  United  States. 

Drill  is  supplemented  by  instruction  in  class- 
rooms. Basic  ROTC,  or  the  first  two  years,  is 
required  for  every  male  student  on  campus, 
unless  he  is  exempt  by  previous  military 
service.  Should  a  student  enter  as  an  upper- 
classman,  he  must  complete  two  years  or  take 
ROTC  until  graduation,  whichever  occurs  first. 

Third  and  fourth  year  programs  may  be 
elected  after  a  careful  screening,  both  mental 
and  physical,  by  the  governing  board.  Upon 
completion  of  the  four  year  (basic  plus  ad- 
vanced) training  program,  the  student  may 
either  become  a  second  lieutenant  in  the  U.  S. 
Air  Force,  the  Air  Force  Reserve  Corp,  or  the 
Air  National  Guard.  ROTC  is  embodied  with- 
in a  separate  headquarters  in  the  basement  of 
the  Armory.

Jim  Tatum 

Director  of  Athletics 


Topped  off  by  a  74-13  rout  of  Missouri  on 
Thanksgiving  Day,  Maryland  finished  off  the 
'54  season  with  a  record  of  seven  wins,  two 
losses,  and  one  tie,  while  being  ranked  eighth 
nationally. 

The  Terps'  only  set-backs  were  at  the  hands 
of  UCLA  and  Miami,  both  by  a  total  of  seven 
points.  Wake  Forest  deadlocked  the  Liners 
13-13  early  in  the  season. 

Co-Captains  Dick  Bielski  and  John  Irvine 
provided  the  main  scoring  punch  for  the 
Marylanders  who  rolled  up  280  points,  while 
holding  their  opponents  to  only  67. 


136 


Bob  Pellegrini,  a  guard  last  season,  has 
been  shifted  to  center  to  give  the  Terrapins 
more  strength  in  the  middle  of  the  line. 
Pellegrini  along  with  Bill  Walker  will  be 
Maryland's   two   top    All-American   prospects.

Doyle  Royal 

Coach 

Maryland  maintained  their  seven  straight 
year  record  of  winning  all  conference  soccer 
games.  This  includes  both  the  Atlantic  Coast 
and  Southern  Conferences. 

Under  Coach  Doyle  Royal's  direction  the 
Terps  compiled  an  overall  record  of  five  wins, 
three  set-backs,  and  two  ties.  In  conference 
play  the  hooters  picked  up  three  wins  and  one 
tie  on  the  way  to  the  ACC  crown. 

Otto  Winckelmann  won  the  ACC  individual 
scoring  crown  with  13  markers  for  the  sea- 
son. 

Only  four  lettermen  were  lost  due  to  grad- 
uation, while  Coach  Royal  can  look  forward 
to   14   returning  letter  wearers. 

128 


Coach  "Sully"  Krouse's  grapplers  brought 
another  ACC  title  back  to  College  Park — this 
time,  the  conference  wrestling  crown.  Mary- 
land won  the  title  on  the  strength  of  a  5-0 
record  in  ACC  matches.  This  was  the  fifth 
straight  year  that  Maryland  has  won  their 
conference   championship. 

In  the  individual  tournament  Roney  Car- 
roll, Mike  Sandusky,  and  Danny  Little  cap- 
tured their  weight  class  titles.  Little,  who 
won  all  five  of  his  ACC  regular  season  bouts 
was  named  the  "Outstanding  Wrestler"  of 
the   tournament.

Jim  Kehoe 

Coach 

The  liners  added  another  ACC  crown  to  their 
growing  list,  as  they  captured  the  conference 
cross  country  meet  held  at  College  Park. 

Jim  Beatty  of  North  Carolina  set  a  new 
course  record  of  18:07.8  minutes,  but  it  was 
not  enough  to  beat  the  Terp  harriers,  who 
finished  on  top  with  86  points.  North  Caro- 
lina was  second  with  26,  while  Duke  cap- 
tured  the   third   position. 

Burr  Grim  battled  Beatty  for  the  lead 
throughout  the  race,  but  Beatty  pulled  ahead 
near  the  finish  to  win  by  20  yards. 

Coach  Jim  Kehoe's  harriers  finished  seventh 
in  the  NCAA  cross  country  meet  held  at 
East  Lansing  Michigan,  participating  against 
the  top  cross  country  teams  in  the  nation.

indoor  track 


Coach  Jim  Kehoe 


Defending  champion,  Maryland  lost  the  in- 
door track  title  to  North  Carolina  by  one  half 
point,  36-85 1.^.  It  was  sweet  revenge  for  the 
Tar  Heels  who  had  previously  lost  the  cross 
country   title   to    Maryland- 

The  University's  teaiii  participated  in  four 
other  meets  in  addition  to  the  ACC  champion- 
ships. Joe  Hemler  set  a  new  record  in  the 
D.C.  AAU  meet  when  he  was  clocked  in  the 
time  of  1:14.1  for  the  600  yard  run.  In  the 
relay  events,  Maryland  captured  the  D.C. 
AAU  mile  relay,  and  broke  records  in  both 
two  and  four  mile  relays  in  the  VMI  Winter 
Relays. 

Carl  Party  won  the  two  mile  handicap  race 
in  9:20.7  at  the  New  York  A.C.  games  in 
Madison  Square  Garden,  to  highlight  a  fine 
season    over   the    banked    boards. 

131 


outdoor  track 


Coach  Jim  Kehoe 


Burr  Grim,  the  sensational  sophomore,  paved 
the  way  with  four  victories  in  the  mile  run 
on  the  cinders,  as  the  Terps  won  four  of  the 
six  meets  in  which  they  competed. 

In  addition  to  the  dual  meet  and  local 
championship  victories  in  the  mile,  Grim  set 
a  meet  record  in  the  IC-4A  Championships, 
running  the  mile  distance  in  4:09.9. 

Maryland,  defending  AGO  outdoor  track 
champions,  failed  to  hold  that  position  as 
North  Carolina  knocked  the  Terps  from  the 
top  by  a  scant  margin  of  1^/4  points.  In  the 
previous  year's  championship  meet  the  Terps 
turned  back  Carolina  by  just  1%  points. 

132 


basketball 


Bud  Millikan 

Coach 

Compiling  a  record  of  19  wins  and  6  losses, 
the  hoopsters  finished  one  of  the  finest  sea- 
sons in  years. 

Bob  Kessler,  led  the  Terps  to  a  successful 
defense  of  the  Ail-American  City  Tournament, 
as  the  Liners  dumped  Cincinnati,  78-61.  For 
his  efforts  Kessler  was  placed  on  the  first 
five  of  the  All-Tourney  Team. 

The  Terps,  who  at  one  time  were  rated  as 
high  as  sixth  in  the  nation,  pulled  off  one  of 
the  upsets  of  the  year  when  they  tripped 
North  Carolina  State  68-64. 

All  games  this  year  will  be  played  in  the 
New  Student  Activities  Building  with  a  seat- 
ing capacity  of  13,500. 

133 


Although  winning  only  four  of  their  thirteen 
matches,  the  linksmen  look  ahead  to  brighter 
days.  This  year  Coach  Frank  Cronin  can 
call  on  several  returning  veterans  and  a  bump- 
er crop  of  golfers  up  from  the  freshman  team. 

The  Terps  started  and  finished  the  season 
strong,  but  during  the  middle  weeks  they  lost 
seven  straight  matches  before  putting  to- 
gether a  victory. 

Opening  the  season  against  South  Carolina, 
the  Terrapins  drove  out  a  IGV2  to  10 ^/^  vic- 
tory. The  season's  finale  was  even  better  for 
the  Marylanders,  as  they  drubbed  Johns  Hop- 
kins 9  to  0.

H.    Burton    Shipley 

Coach 


On  the  diamond,  the  Terps  finished  with  a 
mediocre  8-10  record,  but  with  the  noticeable 
improvement  of  several  of  the  younger  play- 
ers at  the  end  of  the  season,  the  Liners  could 
easily  "go  all  the  way"  this  season. 

Coach  Burton  Shipley,  who  this  spring  com- 
pleted his  33rd  year  at  College  Park,  can  look 
forward  to  the  return  of  Bill  Walker  who 
led  the  team  in  batting  with  .349  mark; 
Charlie  Pratt,  .326;  Bob  Murray,  .306;  and 
Ralph  Ward,  .302.  Catcher  Phil  Calder,  used 
most  in  a  pinch-hitting  role,  boasted  a  lofty 
.375  average. 

In  the  pitching  department,  four  fine  hurlers 
will  be  back,  along  with  two  freshmen  mounds- 
men.  Russ  Duffey,  Bob  Weiss,  Stan  Bobb,  and 
Bob  Carr  are  due  to  see  a  great  deal  of  duty 
on  the  hill,  as  are  George  Gaffney  and  Don 
Henderson,  up  from  the  frosh  team.

Coach  __JVI/Sgt.  Harold  Blume 

Under  the  direction  of  coach  M/Sgt.  Harold 
Blume  the  Maryland  marksmen  compiled  a 
record  of  8  wins  and  3  losses,  while  winning 
their  section  of  the  National  Rifle  Association 
Section  Match. 

Firing  in  the  William  Randolph  Hearst 
Matches,  the  Terps  managed  to  outshoot  the 
other  Air  Force  teams  for  the  victory. 

Linn  Savage  led  the  individual  shooters  for 
the  year  with  an  average  of  284.10  out  of  a 
possible  300  per  match. 


tennis 

Coach  Doyle  Royal 

Highlighted  by  the  brilliant  play  of  sophomore 
Dave  Freishtat,  the  netters  stroked  their  way 
to  eight  wins,  while  only  suffering  four  set- 
backs. 

One  of  the  Terps'  most  impressive  wins  came 
at  the  hands  of  Clemson,  when  the  Mary- 
landers  took  all  six  single  matches,  four  of 
them  straight  sets.  Against  Johns  Hopkins, 
the  College  Parkers  put  on  a  repeat  perform- 
ance, capturing  every  match,  with  eight  of 
them  in  straight  sets.

lacrosse 

For  the  first  time  since  1940,  Maryland  won 
the  National  Lacrosse  Championship,  along 
with  the  first  undefeated  season  in  the  school's 
history. 

The  championship  was  in  doubt  until  Mary- 
land rallied  in  the  last  period  of  the  Navy 
game  to  defeat  the  defending  champion  9-8. 

Leading  the  Terps  were  All-American  candi- 
dates Charles  Wicker,  Rennie  Smith,  John 
Simmons,  Ben  Goertemiller,  Jim  Keating,  Dick 
Corrigan,  and  sophomore  goalie  Jim  Kappler. 

Only  four  lettermen  were  lost  from  last 
year's  team,  and  the  Terps  should  look  for- 
ward to  another  great  season, 

137 


freshman  sports 


Freshman  teams  are  sponsored  in  almost  every 
sport  at  Maryland.  Playing  a  regular  sched- 
ule of  games,  the  Frosh  contests  attract  al- 
most as  much  attention  as  the  Varsity  games. 
Individuals  wishing  to  try  out  for  a  freshman 
team  should  watch  the  Diamondback  for  an- 
nouncements of  tryouts. 


intramurals 

In  addition  to  the  intercollegiate  athletic  set- 
up, a  complete  intramural  program  is  carried 
on.  Under  the  direction  of  Track  Coach  James 
Kehoe,  the  program  is  divided  into  two  divi- 
sions—  the  open  and  fraternity  leagues. 

All  undergraduate  males  are  eligible  for  the 
open  league,  while  play  in  the  fraternity 
league  is  restricted  to  actives  and  pledges  of 
the  various  fraternities. 

Touch  football,  basketball,  softball,  wrestj'

It  isn't  very  often  that  a  Maryland  student 
can  lead  an  intelligent  conversation  after  a 
football  game  in  Byrd  Stadium — he  just  hasn't 
got  any  voice  to  talk  v^^ith. 

Led  by  the  cheerleaders  at  every  home  game, 
the  Terp  Town  stands  vibrate  to  a  rousing 
crescendo  throughout  each  play.  Listen  for 
the  traditional  chanting  of  the  Victory  Song 
and  the  counting  of  points  after  every  Terra- 
pin score.  Be  prepared  to  join  in  or  it  won't 
be  long  until  you  can't  help  but  add  your 
voice  to  the  chant. 

Students  not  only  join  cheering  sections  at 
games,  but  form  car  caravans  to  meet  the 
team  at  National  Airport  on  their  return  from 
away  games,  march  in  pre-game  parades,  and 
yell  in  pep  and  noise  rallies  as  effigies  of 
weekend  opponents  are  burned  in  blazing  bon- 
fires. 

Card  sections,  sponsored  by  the  Student 
Activities  Committee,  will  be  featured  this 
year  during  both  the  football  and  basketball 
seasons.  The  sections  will  be  filled  by  far- 
sighted  rooters  who  arrive  early  at  games 
wearing  white  sweaters,  shirts  or  blouses. 

The  most  effective  way  to  back  the  team  and 
the  cheerleaders  is  to  learn  the  school  songs 
and  cheers.  It  will  be  hard  to  forget  them 
after  your  first  home  game!

Pep  Rallies „ » Jerry  Sauerbrie 

SAC  is  the  hub  which  moves  the  giant  wheel 
of  student  activities  on  campus.  At  bi-monthly 
meetings  representatives  from  the  dorms, 
Greeks,  and  Independents,  as  well  as  any  other 
interested  students,  plan  pep  rallies  and 
"away"  weekends.  Syracuse  University  is  the 
destination  for  this  year's  gala  "away"  week- 
end. 

Aside  from  sports  activities  SAC  is  re- 
sponsible for  the  increasingly  popular  Spring 
Week  which  features  the  Turtle  Derby,  Mad 
Hatters  Parade,  and  a  dance  on  the  Mall. 

cheerleaders 

Captain Audrey  Nicoloudis 

"Go  team — go!"  Catchy  cheers  led  by  agile 
cheerleaders  stimulate  an  eager  crowd  to  urge 
its  team  to  victory. 

It  looks  so  simple,  but  hours  of  hard  work 
are  behind  the  limber  movements  and  precision 
timing  of  the  cheerleaders.  These  spirited 
figures,  in  their  red  and  white  uniforms,  are 
a  familiar  sight  at  pep  rallies  and  all  sports 
events.  Tryouts,  held  in  the  fall,  are  open  to 
all  students  who  maintain  a  2.0  average,

Here  are  just  a  few   of  Maryland's  favorite 
songs  and  .cheers. 

sons  of  old  maryland 

Sons  of  old  Maryland 
Old  Maryland  needs  you! 
Stand  by  your  colors,  boys, 
And  to  them  e'er  be  true! 
Fight   for   old    Maryland, 
Old  Liners  stand, 
Defenders  of  the  Black  and  Gold 
Throughout    the    land !

When  the  toast  is  in  the  cup, 

Bottoms  up!    Bottoms  up!

maryland!  my  maryland! 

Thy  sons  and  daughters  throng  they  door, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Their  hearts  and  hopes  they  bring  to  thee, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
And  place  them  in  thy  custody, 
Proud  hearts  that  pledge  their  love  for  thee:- 
They  come  from  mountain,  farm  and  shore, 

Maryland  University! 


Go  forth,  brave  youth,  throughout  the  state: — 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
And  your  actions  show  her  great: 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Thy  Alma  Mater's  name  and  fame, 
Oh,  keep  alive  her  holy  flame. 
Until  all  hearts  as  one  exclaim, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 

Cheer,  three  times  cheer,  and  one  cheer  more, 

For  Maryland!  dear  Maryland! 
Send  forth  that  cry  from  hill  to  shore: — 

Maryland  University! 
Fair  mother  of  our  brightest  dreams. 
Blest  giver  of  life's  precious  things 
To  thee  each  heart  its  service  brings: — 

Maryland!  My  Maryland!

general  information

academic 

All  students  are  expected  to  attend  classes 
regularly.  Classes  begin  on  the  hour  and  last 
for  50  minutes.  If  a  teacher  fails  to  appear 
for  his  class,  students  must  wait  20  minutes 
for  a  dean,  15  minutes  for  a  doctor  and  10 
minutes  for  an  instructor  before  leaving. 

At  the  University,  there  is  no  unlimited  cut 
system.  Each  instructor  usually  informs  his 
class  at  the  beginning  of  the  course  how  he 
will  handle  cuts.  After  three  unexcused  ab- 
sences, a  student  is  reported  to  his  dean  and 
his  parents  are  notified.  Too  many  absences 
lower  a  grade  and  may  eventually  result  in  a 
complete  course  failure. 

To  drop  a  course,  the  student  must  do  so 
before  a  set  time  each  semester,  as  specified 
in  the  semester's  schedule  of  classes.  Permis- 
sion from  the  student's  dean  and  a  small  fee 
are  required  to  drop  a  subject. 

Students  may  drop  a  required  course  only 
at  the  discretion  of  the  dean  of  the  College. 

The  number  of  exams  given  during  a  semes- 
ter is  determined  by  the  instructor.  Usually, 
two  or  three  one-hour  exams  plus  a  two-hour 
final  are  given  in  each  course.  If  a  student 
misses  an  exam,  a  makeup  test  may  be  taken 
upon  permission  of  the  instructor  and  pay- 
ment of  a  one  dollar  fee  to  the  registrar.

activities  fee 

The  activities  fee,  paid  at  registration,  sup- 
ports publications,  dances,  and  other  activities 
open  to  students. 

athletic  fee 

The  fee  covers  the  cost  of  admission  to  all 
inter-collegiate  sport  events  held  on  the  Col- 
lege Park  campus,  and  is  represented  by  the 
Athletic  book  received  at  registration,  which 
must  be  shown  with  ID  card  at  all  games. 

board 

All  students  living  in  dormitories  are  required 
to  eat  in  the  Dining  Hall.  Dining  Hall  cards 
are  issued  at  registration.  All  other  students 
must  make  their  own  arrangements.  A  cafe- 
teria is  located  on  the  lower  floor  of  the  Din- 
ing Hall  and  in  the  Student  Union  Building, 
serving  meals  at  reasonable  rates.  There  are 
several  eating  establishments  in  the  nearby 
College  Park  area,  and  several  Greek-letter 
houses  take  in  a  few  boarders. 

Next  to  the  famous  Rossborough  Inn  on  the 
boulevard  is  the  University  Dairy,  serving  ice 
cream  and  other  dairy  products  every  day  ex- 
cept  Sunday. 

communications 

Located  in  the  basement  of  the  Student  Union 
Building   is   the  campus    Post  Office.     During 

150 


registration,  each  student  is  assigned  a  post 
office  box,  which  he  shares  with  one  or  more 
students.  The  post  office  handles  regular  mail 
and  communications  from  the  University  and 
its  organizations  to  the  student. 

Campus  telephones  may  be  used  to  make  on- 
campus  calls.  Off-campus  calls  are  made  on 
pay  phones  located  in  the  dormitories  and 
other  campus  buildings. 

Telegrams  may  be  sent  from  the  telephone 
exchange  located  in  the  east  end  of  the  Educa- 
tion Building  basement.  Incoming  wires  are 
either  delivered  or  phoned  to  student  resi- 
dences on  campus.  The  University  phone  num- 
ber is  WArfield  7-3800  and  dorms  may  be  re- 
quested from  the  operator. 


"Will  it  go  out 
today?" — a  typical 
scene  in  the  campus 
post  office.

ice for  the  students.  However,  there  are  sev- 
eral laundry  and  dry  cleaning  concerns  in  Col-

automatic  washers  and  dryers.  Students  may 
also  mail  their  laundry  home  at  the  usual 
postal  rates.

of  the  staff,  and  faculty.  The  stickers  desig- 
nate the  lot  which  must  be  used  by  the  reg- 
istrant on  campus.  A  list  of  traffic  and  park- 
ing regulations  is  issued  to  all  auto  regis- 
trants.

privileged  to  appeal  his  case  to  the  Traffic  Ap- 
peals Board  which  meets  once  a  month.
