GENERAL INFORMATION
Academic
As a University student you are expected to at-
tend classes regularly. Classes last for 50 minutes
and begin on the hour.
There is no unlimited cut system at the Univer-
sity. At the beginning of the semester each of your
instructors will tell you how he handles cuts.
After three unexcused cuts, you will be reported
to your dean, and your parents will be notified.
Too many absences can influence your grade and,
eventually, may cause you to fail a course.
If you wish to drop a course after the semester
begins, you must secure permission from your ad-
visor and your dean. If you do not drop the course
before the time specified you will recei\e an F
in the course.
Exams take place during the semester as well
as during exam week. Each instructor decides how
many hour exams, usualh two or three, he will
give. If you miss an exam you may take a make-up
exam with the consent of your instructor and the
payment of a SI. 00 fee to tlie registrar.
Activities Book
During registration you pav an acti\ities fee and
an athletic fee. You recei\e an activities book con-
taining numbered tickets. By presenting these
tickets, accompanied by your ID card, you will be
able to receive campus publications, and to attend
all inter-collegiate sporting events. University The-
ater productions, dances, and all other campus
activities open to the student body.
Board
All students living in the dorms are required to
eat in the University Dining Hall. All other stu-
dents may make their own arrangements.
"Terp Inn," located in the Student Union base-
ment, is a handy place for that "coffee break" or
mid-afternoon snack. On Sunday e\enings inexpen-
sive dinners are served in "Terp Inn."
There is a cafeteria on the lower floor of the
Dining Hall where meals are reasonably priced.
Across from Rossborough Inn, the Dairy sells
ice cream and dairy products. Other eating estab-
lishments also may be found in College Park.
Books and Supplies
Books and school supplies may be purchased in
the Book Store of the Student Union and at the
Maryland Book Exchange across from the South
Gate. Both of these stores carry novelties, gifts and
sports clothing. Also, the service fraternitv. APO,
sponsors the sale of used books in the Old Gym.

their post office Ijoxes. Limited mailing facilities
are available at the campus Post Office; however,
the Post Office in College Park provides additional
facilities.
Campus phones may be used before 4 P.M. to
make campus calls. Other calls must be made on
the pav phones located in the dormitories and
\aiious buildings. In order for a student to be
reached, the Universitv number, WArfield 7-3800.

the call with the dormitory requested. Telegrams
may be sent from the telephone exchange in the
east end of the Education I^uilding. Incoming tele-
grams are 'phoned or deli\ered to the residences.

The University is not responsible for your laun-
dry. There are washing machines and dryers in the
dormitories. The women's dormitories have iron-
ing boards, but students must supply their own
irons. In addition, there are se\eral commercial
laundries in College Park.
Library
\Vhile we are welcoming you as a new student,
we are also welcoming another new addition to the
University! Sometime this vear, a new Library
will be opened. Situated on the mall, it will en-
able greater access to more books, and will have
many advantages over the present library. Until
its completion, the old Library will continue in
service.

pus police station located at the North Gate.
Parking and Traffic

his case may appear before the Traffic Appeals
Board.

What to Bring to College— COEDS
Obviously, like most girls, you want to know
"what to bring to college." Many of the same
things you needed at home will be necessary at the
University of Maryland— but, don't bring every-
thing. Your books and current wardrobe alone will
take up every square inch of space, without having
to harbor the collection of knick-knacks!
Plan your wardrobe carefully and to fit your
budget. Wool skirts and sweaters are a perennial
favorite. Cardigans and at least one blazer will
provide interim weather warmth. Saddles still lead
the field with sneakers running a close second. Of
course, the cold-windy weather calls for an extra-
warm and practical coat for class. For rainy weather
a slicker and hat are your best bet.
And, of course, don't forget your dressy clothes,
gloves and a hat for Sunday; dates call for some-
thing special in heels and hose and you will need
a formal for those special dances. In the other ex-
treme, a pair of bermudas will fit the bill for
lounging and studying in the dorm or house.
Bring essential and practical items to college . . .
to allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy the com-
ing year.
What to Bring to College— MEN
A big headache for the student who plans to
Uve on campus for the first time is the problem:
what to bring to wear, and to furnish a room?
Therefore, here are a few words of advice which
may go a long way in helping the student living
away from home for the first time.
It is a good idea to meet your roommate if this
is at all possible. By talking it over with him, you
can decide between yourselves what furnishings,
such as radios and lamps, you will want to bring.
As for what kind of clothes to bring, this is
somewhat up to the individual, a student is not
told what to wear on the Maryland campus. How-
ever, students are advised to be sensible and prac-
tical in their dress; wearing the proper clothing
for the occasion such as casual clothes for classes,
sports clothes for football games, tie and coat to a
play, and a suit or "tux" to a dance.
Both the black and the khaki-colored khakies
with a shirt or a V-necked sweater and white bucks
or saddles are a classroom favorite. The letter-
award sweater earned in high school will not make
you a B.M.O.C. with the young ladies . . . they
may have meant something in high school but
have little recognition value at Maryland.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
You are now entering into a phase of your life
which you will always cherish. Your college mem-
ories will be among your happiest ones, but not
merely because you are meeting many new people
who share your problems, interests, and perhaps
even your dormitory. Tradition plays an important
part in recollections of college days. Long after
you have forgotten the person who sat next to you
in a class, or the class itself, you will remember
the Chapel bells ringing every hour, marking each
passing day. When you leave the classrooms for the
last time, college days will be behind you, but they
will always be with you. All of the experiences
which make your days at Maryland Universitv
unique will be stored in your file of memories.
They will attain an even greater stature as the
years wipe away the few unpleasant recollections,
and enrich your joyous moments. If you make the
most of your opportunities now, your college days
will be the happiest of your life. Just as the Uni-
versity gives you a fine educational background to
use in the future attainment of your life's goals.
it also provides a background for what can be
your happiest moments.

History
The University of Maryland dates back to 1807,
when the first school of the University, the College
of Medicine, was founded in Baltimore. During
the 150 years since its founding, the University
has expanded, both physically and scholastically,
until it now occupies a position as one of the lead-
ing universities in the country.
After the College of Medicine was founded, there
followed within a few years the establishment 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, Maryland Agricultural
College, the first agricultural college in the United
States and the second in the western hemisphere,
was established on an estate purchased from
Charles B. Calvert, Esquire. The college was fi-
nanced by the sale of stock at $25 a share.
In 1862, this college became, in part, a state
institution with the passage of the Morrill Land
Grant Act by Congress. It was one of the first
schools to benefit from this act and subsequent
federal aids to education.
In 1920, the professional schools of the Univer-
sity in Baltimore, and the Maryland State College,
as it was by then known, in College Park were
20
merged to form what is now known as the Uni-
\ersity of Maryland. However, the University of
Maryland is not limited by the College Park and
Baltimore boundaries; it stretches overseas to vir-
tually e\ery part of the western world through
the College of Special and Continuation Studies
founded in 1949. The CSCS program is not a cor-
respondence course; it consists of classroom courses
taught by instructors who must be approved by
the dean of their respective colleges in College
Park.
Although much of the overseas program is di-
rected toward military personnel, there is a Mimich
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 publish their own
newspaper, T/?e Coyitinental Collegiate: their year-
book is not 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.
21
Traditions
Maryland, because of its long history, is steeped
in time-honored traditions worthy of one of the
oldest universities in the United States. Students
come and go, but traditions live on, an integral
part of the college life of e\erv person associated
with the Uni\ersity of Maryland. . . .
The Chapel bells that chime "Maryland, My
Maryland" every hour on the hour. . . .
The football season, during which studies express
their enthusiasm in pep rallies, house decorations,
fraternity parties, the frosh-sophomore tug-of-war
o\er Paint Branch Creek, and the crowning of a
queen. . . .
Testudo, the 500 poinid bronze replica of this
state's famous Diamondback Terrapin and the
campus mascot, now permanently stationed at the
entrance to Byrd Stadium. . . .
The name "Old Liners," now the title of the
campus humor magazine, for which we can thank
General George Washington at the Battle of Brook-
lyn during the Revolution when he said of the
Maryland defenders, 'the Old Line will hold.' . . .
The Christmas pageant held after the lighting
of a Christmas tree behind Rossborough Inn and
the orphan party on Fraternity Row to celebrate
the same season. . . .
22
The Kappa Alpha Minstrel in keeping with a
great Southern tradition. . . .
The spring practices for the Phi Kappa Tau
Barber Shop q:iartet contest and Tri Belts Inter-
fraternity Sing. . . .
The May Day festival highlighted by the crown-
ing of the May Queen, the tapping of outstand-
ing junior women by Mortar Board, and a pageant
presented to entertain the queen. . . .
1 he annually exciting lacrosse game between
Maryland and Johns Hopkins, one of our keenest
ri\als. . . .
The electioneering and campaign parades to
solicit votes in the spring elections for student
government and class offices. . . .
Your first trip to the "kissing tunnel" and the
wishing well at Rossl)orough Inn to insure love
and luck at college. . . .
The annual Honors and Awards Assembly held
just before graduation in which recognition is
gi\en to scholarship, sports, ROTC, and other
phases of Universitv life. . . .
Tradition, our legacy as freshmen, we bequeath
as seniors to those who shall search here for
knowledge next year, or ten years from now, or
to those of an age yet unborn.
23
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 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 Amer-
ica. 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, Mary-
land and Avalon. Below the figures is the
scroll bearing the Calvert motto: "Fatti
Maschii Parole Femine," which means
"Manly Deeds; Womanly Words". On
the border encircling the seal is the
legend: "University of Maryland . . . 1807
. . . 1865 . . . 1920.

I am delighted to welcome you to the University of K'^aryland.
You are beginning an important phase of your education and the record
you mol-.e will follow you throughout your life.
The Administratioa, Faculty and Staff are here to help you but
we can do only a part of the job, and we can do that part only as well
as you want it to be done. The whole job depends, in a large measure,
upon your capacity and application. Capacity is important, but assiualng
that most students have at least average ability, the deciding factor is
application. The chances are very strong that you will succeed if you
do a reasonable amount of work on a systematic basis. This is the
student's responsibility.
Your years at the University should be pleasant and profitable.
The best way to achieve these aims is to decide what you want and go
after it.

» STUDENT GOVERNMENT
S. G. A.
The Student Government Association, the organi-
zation at the University of Maryland for self-gov-
ernment, is made up of three divisions, the Execu-
tive Council, the Men's League and Associated
Women Students.
The Executi\e Council is the policy-making
group composed of fifteen members. Among the
many duties of this organization is to appropriate
funds from the activity fees for dances, the Uni-
versity Theatre, student publications and other
student activities. The Executive Council could be
considered the liason between the faculty and the
student body. The Executive Council meetings
are held every Tuesday and are open to all stu-
dents.
The Men's League and the Associated "Women
Students organizations are responsible for the en-
forcement of campus regulations.
38
Elections
Ever)' spring, elections for S.G.A. and class offi-
cers are held. Primaries are held for offices for
which three or more students are competing. Each
candidate is required to have a 2.0 overall average.
Freshmen class elections are held in October
and are open to all freshmen who secure petitions
from the S.G.A. office and have the required num-
ber of freshman signatures prior to deadline.
Committees
The S.G.A. operates through committees, set up
by the Executive Council and open to all students.
Chairmanships are open to those who submit ap-
plications stating their qualifications and experi-
ence. Sub-committee chairmanships and commit-
tee members are chosen by the chairman on the
basis of experience.
S.G.A. committees under the constitution are
Ways and Means, Elections, Organization and
Procedure and special committees, like Student
\Velfare, Social Affairs, Campus Improvement, Stu-
dent Activities, Constitution, Campus Chest, Fresh-
man Orientation, Homecoming, Dad's Day, Stu-

The President of the Executive Coimcil has al-

mittes: Student Activities, Freshman Orientation,
Homecoming, Dad's Day, Student Union, Traffic
Appeals, and y^ampus Improvements. These Chair-
men will holA office throughout the year. Some
committees, like the Ways and Means, Campus
Improvements and Elections committees require
special knowledge of campus functions, organiza-
tions, and personalities and are not usually open
to Freshmen, but the remaining groups welcome
new members.
You, as a new student, may be appointed to any
of these committees by submitting an application
to the S.G.A. 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
committees 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. Applica-
tions for both of these committees will be accepted
in the fall.

dors of Good Will," through its extensive trips
along the East Coast, Idaho, Montana, Bermuda,
Iceland, and the Azores. It has also traveled to
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas.

The Panhellenic Council, composed of representa-

ards. The Council formulates and enforces rules
governing rushing, pledging, and initiation, and
sponsors the annual Pledge Dance, Panhel "Car
121
Wash Day," and an Easter egg roll for orphans.
This year, for the first time, Panhellenic Council
is planning a weekend camping trip to acquaint
pledges with the activities and opportunities avail-
able on campus. Panhellenic Council works closely
with the Associated \Vomen Students on problems
relating to campus women and has one represen-
tative on A^V'S executive council to present the
views of sororitv women.
Junior Panhellenic Council
Junior Panhellenic Council is composed of one
pledge from each sorority. Its purpose is to famil-
iarize representati\es with the functions of the
Panhellenic Council and to discuss mutual prob-
lems and plans. Last spring Junior Panhel spon-
sored a conference concerning the aspects of social
life, such as etiquette and parties.
Standard Panhellenic Rules
Any women eligible for matriculation at the
University of Maryland and unaffiliated with any
National Panhellenic Fraternity is eligible for
rushing.
Rushing is held at the beginning of each semes-
ter. Second semester rushing will take place in
121
February. Informal rushing follows the formal
rushing periods and lasts up to a council-set date.
There is a silence period which extends from the
beginning of formal rushing to pledging and ap-
plies to all sorority women and rushees. During
this period they may not converse 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 to which the student may
matriculate.
Initiation of any pledge results from the com-
pletion of fifteen credit hours in the preceding
semester at the University of Maryland with a 2.2
iuerage and no failures for that semester. These
\\'()men must be students in good standing.

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 re-
quired for every male student on campus, unless
he is exempt by previous military service. Should
a student enter as a transfer from another school
and not have training in an ROTC unit, 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
fourth year (basic plus advanced) training pro-
gram, the student will become a second lieutenant
in the U. S. Air Force Reserve. ROTC is embodied
with a separate headquarters in the Armory.
Colonel Robert E. Kendig is Professor of Air
Science and commands the iniit. Over forty regu-
lar Air Force personnel, who teach and who must
keep detailed records on each cadet, compose Col.
Kendig's staff.

Athletics
Athletic competition, both intercollegiate and
intramural, plays an important part in the college
career of each student of the University. The vari-
able sports program begins with the clash of hel-
mets in Septemlier when the Terp eleven tackles
with the nation's best, and ends when the last tape
is broken in the track meets in May.
Maryland's facilities are almost unique. The
swimming pool, tennis courts, the soon- to-be-com-
pleted golf course and the new Student Activities
Building offer a wide selection of activities from
^vhich the student is certain of gaining a great
amount of satisfaction and pleasure.
The basketball and wrestling teams literally live
in this new Activities Building. The 12,000 seat
structure is now the pride of the University.
In the past five years, Maryland has gained the
reputation of producing winning teams. All that
is needed to maintain this enviable association of
Maryland and success in athletics is the support
of each and every student taking an active interest
in sports activities.

Codcit Tommy Mont
Returning to Maryland last August, Coach Jim
I atum had the undesirable job of finding an en-
tirely new backfield and a replacement for big
John Ir\ine at center.
And, find them he did, in Ail-American center
B(^b Pellegrini and halfback Ed Vereb. Led by
these two stars, both of whom played their best
under pressure, the Terps went through the regu-
lar season imdefeated and accepted an Orange
Bowl bid to meet a great Oklahoma team. The
Sooners ended the Terp's winning streak by a 20-6
score, after Maryland had gained a 6-0 half-time
ad\antage.
For the coming season, only the names and dates
have changed, the problems remain virtually the
same.
154
Coach Tommy Mont will inherit the perplexing
task of filling the vacancies left by the graduation
of Pellegrini, Vereb, and a fine crop of ends led
by Bill \\'alker. Perhaps Gene Alderton will be
able to fill the gap at center although this is asking
quite a bit.
1 he backfield will be strengthened by the return
of Tom Selep at fullback after a year's absence,
and the dazzling breakaway running of John Mc-
Vicker. John gave coach Mont reason to be op-
timistic by his play in the 19-12 loss to a star-
studded Alumni team during the Alumni-Varsity
game in April.
Tommy Mont has a tough job because Jim
Tatum has produced a very impressive record, one
which will be difficult to top. However, Mont has
all the tools to produce a winning Maryland team.
155
Soccer
Coach Dovle P. Roval
On Xo\ ember 18 of last year, Maryland's Soccer
team defeated \'iro;inia 3-0. This victory gave the
I eipv the .\t!antic Coast Conference champion-
ship and it marked the ninth straight year in which
Coach Dovle Roval's hooters have won the soccer
crown. The string extends back to Maryland's days
in the Southern Conference.
Rc.\al \\[]\ field another strong squad this year
and might \erv well bring Maryland its tenth
soccer crown in succession.

Wrestling
Coach "Sully" Krouse
The University's matmen ended a successful 1955-
5() season completely dominating the Atlantic Coast
Conference wrestling championships held here in
March. Terp wrestlers won seven of a possible ten
titles.
Having last been beaten in conference competi-
tion in 1950, the Terp grapplers extended to 37
their number of consecutive conference victories.
Roney Carroll, captain of last year's scjuad and
the only grappler leaving through graduation, was
the lone Terp to go undefeated. Mike Sandusky
and John McHugh, co-captains of this season's
team tasted defeat but once, versus Penn State and
Navy, respectively.
157
Basketball
Coach Bud Millikan
Dumped into the second division last season by
untimely thrashings administered by the Atlantic
Coast Conference's "Big Four," the Maryland
Basketball team faces an uphill and seemingly im-
possible struggle in its efforts to surge back among
the elite this season. Last year's team posted a
14-10 record in a very tough conference.
Coach Bud Millikan has lost Bob Kessler and
John Sandbower, standout performers from last
year's quint, and still hasn't come up with a capa-
ble big man to do battle with the giants from
Dixie.
Millikan, who never has had a losing team here,
has based his success virtually all the way on his
team's defense. However, it is likely he will switch
158
to a running game to take full advantage of his
material.
Bob O'Brien, a brilliant outside shot, and sensa-
tional courtman Nick Davis, will return to pace
the Terps. Perry Moore and John Nacincik should
improve and will see considerable action.
An attractive schedule and plenty of room in the
mammoth field house should build the season
up to one that will prove interesting and possibly
very surprising.

Track
Coach Jim Kehoe
Track, unknown, imcared about and undernour-
ished until a few years ago, suddenly has emerged
as another kingpin in Maryland athletics. The
Terps won Atlantic Coast Conference Champion-
ships in cross country and indoor and outdoor
track.
Coach Jim Kehoe saw his cindermen roar
through its opposition with relative ease last sea-
son, setting numerous records along the wav. Depth
proved to be the kev factor in the drive which
carried Maryland to all three track titles.
Burr Grim, greatest miler in Terrapin history,
plus formidable performers in the middle distances
and sprints will again be on hand, as will field
stars George Hogan, Perry Moore and Ed Cook.
IfiO
Golf
Coach
Frank Cronin
Maryland linksmen finished the 1955 season with
a record of 5 wins and 9 losses; a 3-6 mark in the
Atlantic Coast Conference Play.
The Terps rallied to cop 3 of their last four
matches after losing seven straight in the begin-
ning of the season. In the last game of the year,
the liners scored a 9-0 win over Johns Hopkins.
In the A. C. C. Championship, the Terps wound
up seventh, with "Wake Forest the winner. Jim
DePiro was high man for Maryland with a 36-hole
total of 155. Martv Parks was second at 158.
161
Baseball
Coach Burton Shipley
The Liners barely fell below .500 last year as
Coach Burton Shipley s boys kept fighting all the
"way.
Despite their 11-9 lost- won record, the Terps
plaved some fine baseball, compiling four and three
game winning skeins in the early weeks of the
season. The Terps record in their second year
of Atlantic Coast Conference play was 6 wins and
7 losses.
The Terps lost four players to graduation; Bill
Walker, Bob Weiss, Jim Hennessy and Gene Doane
who have left the diamond at College Park in
quest of bigger opponents.
162
Lacrosse
Coaches Jack Faber
Al Heag)'
Boasting the National Lacrosse Championship and
four Ail-Americans, the Maryland Lacrosse team
rolled to its second successive undefeated season.
Coached by Jack Faber and Al Heagy, the Terp
ten ran roughshod over all opponents. The Red
and White was led by Charlie "Wimp" Wicker,
Jim Keating, John Simmone, and goalie Jim Kap-
pler.
The season was climaxed with a 10-5 win over
Navy. For the first time in the history of Naval
Academy, 1100 Midshipmen came over to College
Park as moral support. Maryland was superb that
day and the Middies would have needed all 1100
on the field if they were to have beaten the peer-
less Terps.
163
Also playing prominent roles in the Maryland
victories were Bud AVaesche, Ernie Betz, Frank
Tamburello and Jim Strott.
The oflFensive-minded Terrapins will slow down
the action this spring to counteract their losses in
manpoAver but the switch shouldn't bother them.
The Terp ten should be the best in the nation
again in 1957.
Rifle
Coadt ^^/Sgt. Carroll Oliff
Although Maryland's \'arsity Rifle team didn't win
any titles this year, it has been tabbed as a season
of "rebuilding."
Linn Savage held up his end on the squad but
most of the other shooters lacked actual game
experience.

Intramurals
Maryland's Intramural Program, directed by Jim
Kehoe, provides sports facilities for students unable
to participate in varsity athletics. Assisted by the
Intramural Council, made up of junior and senior
physical education majors, Kehoe presents a diver-
sified list of sports, divided into two programs—
the open and fraternity leagues.
Touch football, basketball, softball, wrestling,
gymnastics, golf, tennis, horse shoes, track, cross-
country, bait casting, bowling, foul shooting, table
tennis, badminton, volleyball and weight lifting
make up the Intramural schedule.
Freshman Sports
Freshman teams are sponsored in almost every
sport at Maryland. Playing a regular schedule of
games, the Frosh Contests attract as much attention
as some of the \'arsity games. Individuals wishing
to try out for a freshman team should watch the
Diamondback for announcements of tryouts.

• SCHOOL SPIRIT
Terrapins in number . . . Stadium crowds . . .
car caravans to meet winning or losing team at
National Airport . . . cursing the mud to fraternity
brother, but enumerating virtues of a college with
a campus to Hopkins' friend . . . too enthusiastic
pep rallies . . . all prove "Maryland Spirit" is in
our hearts . . .
168
Maryland Spirit
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 with.
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 Terrapin 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 bonfires.
Card Sections, sponsored by the Student Activi-
ties Committee, will be featured this year during
both the football and basketball seasons. The sec-
tions will be filled by farsighted rooters who ar-
rive 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.

Cheerleaders
"Go — team — go!" Catchy cheers led by agile
cheerleaders stimulate an eager crowd to urge its
team to victory.
It looks simple but hours of hard work are be-
hind the limber movements and precision timing
of the cheerleaders. These spirited figures, in the
red and white uniforms, are a familiar sight at pep
rallies and all sports events. Trvouts, held in the
fall, are open to all students who maintain a 2.0
average.

SAC is the nickname given to the organization
which promotes ye ol' pep 'n school spirit on our
campus. This group sponsors the pep rallies, the
card section, away weekends for football and the
other sports, and the two Terrapins seen romping
on the football field during the games. SAC is
formulating plans by which the student might be-
come more interested in his college life.
Student representatives from sororities, fraterni-
ties, dorms, campus organizations and independent
groups attend these meetings where "action at
Marvland" is their mottol

The follou'iug are just a few of the many favorite
