Historical Background

As indicated by the history, growth, and achievements of the University
of Maryland, it has become an environment as varied as life itself. Maryland's
history reflects the impressive establishment of one of the oldest and largest edu-
cational institutions in the United States. In every stage of its growth, it has
achieved outstanding new goals which distinguish it from other institutions. Today,
the University of Maryland continually aims to improve every aspect of its
educational structure in order to make the thousands of men and women who
have dedicated a part of their lives to the school justly proud.

In 1807 the School of Medicine in Baltimore was given a charter. This
college, the fifth oldest medical school in the country, was the first to make dis-
secting a compulsory part of its curriculum and to create an independent chair
of feminine diseases. The Maryland School of Law, established in 1882, is the
fourth such school to be established in the United States. At the same time the
School of Dentistry was founded, the first dental college in the world. The School
of Nursing was organized in 1889 by Louisa Parsons with the aid of Florence
Nightingale. The second major phase in the growth of the University came in
1856 with the establishment of the Agricultural School of College Park. In 1920
the schools in Baltimore and College Park merged to form the University of
Maryland.

Both the Baltimore campus and the College Park campus have grown immensely
in the past few years. Last year 32,320 students were enrolled in the formal
academic program at College Park. This campus has experienced many recent
additions with the opening of the Adult Education Center, Fine Arts Building,
Graduate School and Administrative Services Building, Education Building, Com-
puter Science Center, Space Science Building, and a new wing to the Physics-
Astronomy Building. Maryland is fortunate to have its own cyclotron, one of the
few in use on college campuses today.

The College Park campus has recently been expanded not only physically
but academically as well, with the accession of two new colleges — the School of
Architecture and the School of Library and Information Services.

The University of Maryland conducts vigorous research programs in all
schools and colleges, which promise broad implications in the nation's future. At
present, Dr. Joseph Weber, with others in the Department of Physics and Astron-
omy, is designing an instrument which will be part of the payload of a NASA
moon shot, designed to measure lunar tides and gravity. Dr. R. Adams Cowley of
the Department of Surgery is engaged in pioneering research in the treatment of
severely injured individuals and has developed shock trauma therapy which
promises to extend the lives of many.

The University of Maryland continues to grow in all areas of educational
achievement. Fall statistics indicated that the University ranked thirteenth in the
nation in enrollment growth and that the College Park campus is fourth largest

in the country. The school is also ranked nationally among the top ten in the
awarding of graduate degrees. The University of Maryland plays an important
role in heightening education in the United States.

History of the Colleges

College of Agriculture

The College of Agriculture, chartered in 1856, is the oldest College Park
division of the University of Maryland. Headed by Dean Gordon M. Cairns, this
college prepares students for careers in all aspects of agricultural sciences, tech-
nology, and business. Supplementing the general curriculum are the Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Extension Service. The headquarters of this college
is in Symons Hall.

School of Architecture

its seventeen departments offers majors in most of the hasic academic helds in
the humanities, social sciences. I)iological and physical sciences, mathematics, and
the line arts. The College was founded in 1^21 when tlie School of fJheral Arts
and the School of Chemist r^ were merged.

College of Business and Public Administration

The l^niversit) 's first curriculum in husiness administration was initiated
in 1921 as a part of the School (jf Commerce (Baltimore). In 1912 the College
of Business and Puhlic Administration came into existence under its present name.
Its six instructional departments, which offer a hroad range of curricula in pro-
fessional fields and in social science disciplines, are the departments of Business
Administration, Economics. Geographv- Govermnent and Politics. Information
Systems Management, and Journalism. Dr. Donald W. O'Connell is the dean.

College of Education

The first professional teacher training at the University of Maryland hegan
in the sununer of 1912 with a course designed to prepare students to teach Agri-
culture. I'he College of I'^ducation was organized in 1920 for the purpose of
])reparing men and women to teach in colleges, seccuidarv schools, elementary
schools, kindergarten, and mirser\ schools. Other students enrolletl in the college
include those interested in such \ocations as administrati\e positions or lihrarians.
This college is headed 1)\ Dean Vernon Anderson.

College of Engineering

The Universil\'s first engineering courses were offered hv the ^Taryland
y\gricultural College in 1I).')9. A curriculum in engineering was formallv inaugurated
in lo9l, graduating its first class in lo9j;. The College currently offers hac-
calaureale degree programs in aerospace, chemistrv. civil, electrical, and mechanical
engineering, whh a sixth program in fire protection. Masters and doctorate degree
work are offered in all these fields I except (ire |)i()tecli(Ui j . in engineering materials,
and in nuclear enjiineerin";.

College of Home Economics

In 1918, one of the romilry's (iist separately orp;anizecl schools of home
economics was initiated at College Park. This college has ]»rop;rams for men and
women interested in the social, economic, scientific, and aesthetic aspects of family
living in relation to the c<»inmiiiiit\ . Four departments offer a range of courses
giving j)rofessional prejiaration in human nutrition, food, dietetics, institution
management, family studies, community studies, consumer studies, housing, crafts,
costume design, interior design, advertising, textiles, and clothing. Dean Marjory
Brooks heads the College of Home Economics, located in Marie Mount Hall.

School of Nursing

The School of Nursing was organized in 1889. Today, under the leadership of
Dean Marion I. Murphy, the School prepares men and women to give professional
nursing care in a varietv of settings and encourages leadership development and
personal growth through a liheral education. After studying basic sciences and
liberal arts for two vears at College Park, nursing students spend the Junior and
Senior years on the Baltimore City Campus completing the nursing major and
related subjects. The College Park oflice of the School of Nursing is temporarily
located in the basement of Denton Hall.

College of Physical Education, Recreation, and Health

Dr. Lester M. Fraley, the present dean, founded the College of Physical Edu-
cation, Recreation, and Health nineteen years ago. The College has three depart-
ments, after which it is named. Headquarters of the College are located in Cole
Activities Building. The departmental offices of Physical Education and Recreation
are also located in the Cole Activities Building, while the Department of Health
Education is located in Preinkert Field House. Bachelor of Science, Master of
Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are awarded in each of these professional
areas.

Office of Intermediate Registration

The Office of Intermediate Registration was instituted in 1957 to serve students
who have made a basic error in their choice of college, who are not progressing
satisfactorily in their chosen program, and who have decided on a change of goal.

By registering in Intermediate Registration, a student who does not meet the
academic requirement for changing colleges is able to begin immediate study in
his new program after his record has been evaluated by the Dean of the college
to which he hopes to transfer. The program works through the use of intensive
and broadly gauged advisement facilities. It provides advisors who have an interest
in the individual and a reliable knowledge of the inner workings of every college
within the University.

Administration

A great university's ability to provide a l)roa(] education for over 30.000
students must, perforce, dejiend on the successful liandlinu of complex administra-
tive problems. Although few students come in close contact with those responsible
for this work, no one is unaffected by their man) decisions.

President of the University

Dr. Wilson H. Elkins, a man of outstanding ability and leadership, has served
in this position since Se])tember, 1954. Dr. Elkins has a background of superior
achievement in scholarship, leadership, and athletics.

Born in Medina, Texas, in 1908, he attended the public schools of San Antonio
and was graduated from the University of Texas in 1932, with both his B.A. and
M.A. degrees. While at the University he earned eight varsity letters in football,
basketball, and track. He was elected to Phi Beta Ka])pa. and in his senior year
was elected president of the Student Association and captain of the basketball
team. He was also a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi
Alpha Theta, Tau Kappa Alpha, and Alpha Phi Omega.

After graduation from college. Dr. Elkins was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship
to Oxford University in England, where he received his Bachelor of Letters and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

In 1936, Dr. Elkins returned to the University of Texas, where he began his
professional career in education as a history instructor. Two years later Dr. Elkins
was named President of San Angelo Junior College. In 1949 he was appointed
President of Texas Western College, a branch of the University of Texas. He
remained there until 1954, when he was named the twenty-first President of the
University of Maryland. His administration at Maryland has been marked by
consistent strengthening of academic standards, despite tremendous increases in
student enrollment. Under Dr. Elkins' direction, extensive academic, research, and
service programs at the University are conducted on the College Park campus,
the Baltimore Campus, the new University of Maryland in Baltimore County, and
Maryland State College, a division at Princess Anne, Maryland.

Board of Regents

Meml^ers of the Board of Rejients are a])poiiitP(l by the Governor of Maryland
for a term of seven years. This board is instrumental in establishinji jiolicies and
guidelines within which framework the I niversitv operates. In addition, the Board
makes all appointments and names all new l)uildings on campus.

Standinp; committees have been created to handle such matters as University
expansion, buildings, a<;ricuhure, athletics, and endowments.

University Traditions

In any institution so deeply rooted in the past, there will naturally be a
number of long established customs and events that have become a traditional
part of college life. The University of Marvland is no exception.

The most renowned of these customs is the terrapin mascot. '"Testudo," who
watches over all L niversit\ students from his pedestal in front of McKeldin Library.
It is to this bronze statue that students come when thev have a secret to whisper,
and it is said that bv rubbing Testudo's nose, wishes will come true. In 1965
Testudo II, a mechanical counterpart to Testudo I, was created and can be seen
at Lhiiversity sports events.

Another of these long established traditions is that of the cha])el bells, which
ring out "Maryland, My Mar^ land" each hour. The bells begin at o a.m. and do
not ring after 5 p.m. On special occasions the chapel bells display a greater variety
of songs. Each Christmas they begin to play traditional Christmas carols, and in
1968, before President Elkins' Convocation, the bells chimed out a niedlev of
marches and other bright and lively tunes.

By now, registration has become an infamous tradition. The frustrating effort
to prepare a schedule, the mad rush from Cole Activities Building, to advisor, to
armory, are all a part of this unicjue week. Freshmen are warned well in advance
of this hectic struggle, only to lind that the w orst result — a case of shattered
nerves — is unavoidable.

Sunbathinfj on the mall is another of the venerated trarlitions at the University.
Whenever the weather is warm and the grass is dry, students can be seen spread
out on the ground, studying, reading, or just lounging — perhaps in preparation
for a trip to Ocean City after finals.

No account of the University's traditions would be complete without men-
tioning the Kissing Tunnel. This secluded spot may be found under Chapel Drive
in front of the Chapel and is especially popular in early fall and in late spring.

Orientation Week

Scheduled for the week before the beginning of classes, Orientation Week is
designed to give new students an overall picture of campus life. The week's activities
include a dance on the library parking lot; a big-little sister dinner held in the
dining hall; religious open houses, with a free dinner on Sunday; and an Organiza-
tion day, which gives new students an opportunity to get acquainted with the teams
and to learn the alma mater. An evening is devoted to Univereity performing
groups, known as All University night. This is also the time in which Residence
Halls sponsor activities to allow new residents to meet upperclassmen. The Refer-
ence Group program begins during Orientation Week.

Band Day

Sponsored by the SGA, Maryland high school bands attend an October football
game as guests of the University and provide the half-time entertainment.

Homecoming

^ M

Homecoming weekend is the highlight of the football season. In the past it
has been the custom for residence halls and organizations to construct elaborate
floats which were viewed and judged in the pre-game parade. Last year, however,

Orientation Week gives students an overall picture of campus life.

the tradition was replaced by house decorations. At this time a homecoming queen
is elected, the girls being escorted onto the field by ROTC men, and the winner
being crowned by President Elkins. Concluding the festivities are buffet dinners
and parties, and a dance held in Reckord Armory, which usually features a
well-known band.

Aw^ay Weekend

Sponsored by the SGA, this weekend gives students of Maryland an opportunity
to spend a few days at another school. Last year the Maryland football team lost
a close game to the University of Virginia. Arrangements for transportation and
tickets are planned in advance.

Class Proms

Each spring, the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Proms are held at Indian
Springs Country Club. Well-known bands provide the entertainment, and the
highlight of the evening is the crowning of the class prom queen. The social events
of the year are culminated by the Senior Prom, a formal dinner-dance held in
Washington.

Campus Chest Week

During; the Spring semester. Campus Chest sponsors a week of fund-raising
projects for charity. Two contests highlight this week, the "Ugly Man," and "Miss
Campus Chest" contests, both of which are sponsored by APO. Nominations
in the men's event are made by women's residence halls and sorority houses;
men's residence halls and fraternities nominate in the women's contest. Each vote
for a candidate costs a penny, and victors are determined by the amount of money
collected. Winners are announced at College Casino Night, another fund-raising
project in which legalized gambling comes to the campus for the benefit of charity.

Various other money making activities are held this week, with several other
campus organizations participating. Road blocks, "sub" sales, and other events are
held to raise money for the candidates.

Spring Weekend

Each year the Residence Halls Association brings top entertainment to students
on campus. In the past, such names as Harry Belefonte and Bob Hope have pro-
vided entertainment. Last year Aretha Franklin topped the bill with a show at
Cole Activities House. The weekend also provides a dance featuring well-known
personalities at the Reckord Armory.

University Convocation

Each spring President Elkins addresses the student body in Cole Field House
on current and future directions of the University. Students are excused from class
so that the entire student body can attend.

Fall Orientation Board

FOB is an organizational body designed to acquaint the freshman and transfer
student with various aspects of life on the Maryland campus. This Board provides
the new student with a better understanding of the opportunities available at the
University. The new Reference Group program of continued orientation involves
trained upperclassmen and faculty in a series of small group discussions.

Something To Strive For

As was once said by Euclid, "There is no royal road to learning." As every
student knows, this statement holds much truth. Learning comes with hard work,
initiative, and ambition. At the University of Maryland the royal road is traveled
upon after the learning process has been completed. In order to separate the
academic kings from the commoners there are over fifty honoraries on our campus
to praise those who have made above average achievement in leadership, scholar-
ship, and other varied fields. These honoraries give each student "something to
strive for."

To reward high scholastic achievement to freshman women, ALPHA LAMBDA
DELTA was organized in 1932. This is open to women who have obtained a 3.5
average in their first or second semesters.

Freshman men who have obtained a 3.5 average in their first or second
semesters may join PHI ETA SIGMA. These men, along with the women of
Alpha Lambda Delta, tutor freshmen students, and hold two banquets each year
to induct new members.

Junior men who have obtained a 2.5 overall and have shown leadership and
scholarship are eligible to join OMICRON DELTA KAPPA, one of the highest
honors an undergraduate man can receive at the University.

A 2.5 average and performance of service to the University, qualifies a junior
woman to join DIADEM. Members are chosen at the end of their sophomore year
and must show evidence of leadership, scholarship, and service. They lead tours
for visitors to the campus, usher, and sponsor philanthropic projects.

Senior women who have shown outstanding leadership in activities and services
and who have obtained a 3.0 overall are eligible for membership for MORTAR
BOARD. Mortar Board annually awards scholarships to deserving junior women.

Twice each year three outstanding junior or senior sorority women are chosen
from their respective chapters for membership in DIAMOND. Tapping is based
on contributions to campus and to their individual house.

Founded in 1957, KALEGETHOS is the Greek men's honorary. To be eligible
for tapping, a fraternity man must have junior standing, an overall average above
the all men's average, and have excelled in three areas of emphasis: the individual
fraternity chapter, the IFC system, and the campus.

Membership into PHI BETA KAPPA is available to any junior with a
cumulative average of 3.75, or senior with an average of 3.5 in the College of Arts
and Sciences. This is a National Honor Society.

The senior academic honorary, PHI KAPPA PHI, elects its members from
all schools. These students must rank in the upper 10% of their graduating class.
Undergraduates must have at least sixty semester hours of Maryland course work
and have at least a 3.3 average; Masters must have a 3.7 average and Doctors
must have a 3.5 average.

fields (including some summer employment and non-degree job information),

from government, industry, education, military services, selective service regula-
tions, and legal alternatives to the draft.

Placement Services collaborates with SGA Placement Committee and other
students organizations to present the annual CAREER WEEK programs in October
and the February CAREER CONVOCATION. All of these programs are helpful
to underclassmen in gathering good career information. Watch the Diamondback
for announcements.

Each year more than 500 employers visit the campus to interview graduating
students who have registered in advance for the on-campus interviewing program.
Some of the employers who visit during the second semester also are interested
in interviewing candidates for summer employment.

If you are looking for a guest speaker for a club or other group, contact the
director of placement and let him know the general topic in which you are
interested. He may be able to assist you.

If you would like to talk individually with someone about the relationship
between your education and your career, the Placement Services will try to assist
you. See the placement office's secretary in the Placement Library.

Student Government Association

The Student Government Association (SGA) is a governing body concerned
with the interests and activities of the students at Maryland. It aids students in
obtaining a clear understanding of life at the University. SGA is an important
link between the student body, the faculty, and the administration. Without SGA,
communication between these three entities w;ould be impossible.

The Student Government Association is made up of three parts: Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial. The Executive branch acts as a coordinator of student
activities and services at Maryland. The Legislative branch is responsible for in-
vestigating and providing solutions for problems at the University, The Judicial
branch of SGA protects the rights of students, and punishes those who defy
University rules.

The Student Government gives the student a more active role in University
life; therefore, it is very important that students participate in it.

Executive Branch

The functions of the Executive Branch of the Student Government Associ-
ation are to enact and enforce all student policies and to serve as the liaison
between the student body, the faculty, and the administration.

The Cabinet which includes the SGA President, Vice President, Secretary and
Treasurer and numerous appointees who direct student affairs comprise the Execu-
tive Branch. The following people will serve in the Cabinet for the academic year
1969 to 1970:

President Michael Gold

Vice-President Denny Hatfield

Secretary Gerrie Weinstein

Treasurer Stuart Robinson

NSA Coordinator Paula Katz

State Affairs Director Debbie Rosen

PIiolo by Paul Levin

Mike Gold, President of the SGA, confronts Administrator Vice-President J. Jf inston Martin

in a heated issue.

Legislative Branch

The Legislature acts as the policy-making branch of the Student Government
Association. Representatives of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore Classes, the
Greeks, the Commuters and the various residence hall areas propose, investigate
and pass legislation pertaining to all phases of campus life. Serving as a major
component of the SGA, the Legislature is the basic means through which the
individual student can voice his opinions concerning legislation. Legislature mem-
bers for the academic year 1969 to 1970 are:

Judicial Branch

Adjustment and prevention of unacceptable student conduct is a main concern
in student discipline at the University of Maryland. The individual becomes the
primary concern of the judiciary and every effort is extended to resolve each case
within the college community through the proper courts.

Feeling that individual treatment and rehabilitation are most important, the
courts strive to be constructive in their decisions so that the student may relate
and interpret their decisions for what they mean to him as an individual.

Six campus judicial boards are under the jurisdiction of the Faculty Senate
Committee on Student Discipline. These courts are then divided into jurisdictional
areas and students are referred to the proper court in their area by the Judiciary
Office. Recommendations by the courts are then given to the Judiciary Office for
their approval and disciplinary action, if any, is taken.

CENTRAL STUDENT COURT commands power over other student judicial
groups. It is an appellate board comprised of nine members having at least sopho-
more standing and a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average. These justices preside
over appeals from other boards or cases involving violations of University regula-
tions by students or student organizations.

STUDENT TRAFFIC COURT is comprised of nine judges attaining at least
a 2.5 cumulative average and not holding an SGA elected office during his
duration as a judge. Campus traffic violations are the court's main concern, referred
to them by the Judiciary Office.

ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS JUDICIAL BOARD deals Avith co-eds
who have violated campus regulations and appellate cases from residence hall
judicial hoards. Eip;ht women comprise the hoard representing sororities, residence
halls, and commuter women. Requirements for this office are a 2.6 cumulative
average and one semester's experience on a residence judicial hoard, with the
exception of the commuter women.

MEN'S LEAGUE JUDICIAL BOARD again requires sophomore standing
and a 2.5 cumulative grade point average. This board is designed to hear cases
concerning violations of campus regulations involving repeated incidents of socially
unacceptable conduct and also serves as a board of appeals for men's residence
hall judicial boards.

PANHELLENIC JUDICIAL BOARD is responsible for sorority cases involving
violations of Panhellenic rules. It is comprised of executive officers of Panhellenic
Council.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL JUDICIAL BOARD retains the responsi-
bility of cases dealing with violations of Interfraternity Council rules. It can also
investigate and rule on violations of University regulations by a fraternity. This
board is comprised of five fraternity men.

Residence Hall Association

Working together on various campus activities such as improving living con-
ditions in residence halls, improving the food service in the dining areas, and
improving fire safety, creates a united and influential campus organization.

The Residence Hall Association has divided the campus into five geographical
areas from which its representatives are elected. This union has proven beneficial
for their problem solving and dealings with the University administration.

The Residence Hall Association is composed of representatives from these
geographical areas working together with the faculty, administration, and the SGA.
Chairmanships are opened to interested residence hall members, although they
are not voting members of the Association.

Associated Women Students

The Associated Women Students (AWS) was established to unify all women
students including women commuters, residence hall women, and sorority residents.
It functions to promote self-government in Women's residence halls and sorority
houses. The AWS fosters academic excellence and community service programs,
as well as sponsoring special projects, such as Big Sister and Commuter Affiliation
Programs, a State Day Convention, a Head Residents Tea, a Christmas Choral
Program, the Glamour Best-Dressed Coed Contest, a Sex Symposium, the Bridal
Fair, a May Day Art Show, and Women's Week.

The first activity sponsored by AWS in the fall is the Big Sister Program.
Each freshman woman and transfer student receives her own Big Sister who is
a specially chosen upperclassman. During Fall Orientation Week, the Big Sister

introduces and explains the problems,
privileges, and opportunities that are asso-
ciated with the University. Another activity
in which AWS is involved is Women's
Week. It is concerned with the role of
women in contemporary society.

In the early Spring, AWS sponsors the
Sex Symposium. The symposium is a series
of informative lectures, discussions, and
films dealing with the contemporary issues
involving sex and morality. Well-known
speakers are invited to convey their various
views on controversial topics.

AWS also presents the Bridal Fair in
the Spring, in conjunction with Modern
Bride Magazine. Engaged coeds and bridal
hopefuls have the opportunity to view dis-
plays of household and personal items, such
as trousseau fashions, engagement and
wedding rings, china, crystal, silver, appli-
ances, and everything else newlyweds could
need. Two fashion shows highlight the fair,
featuring clothing for the mother of the
bride, attendants, and that all-important
gown and trousseau for the bride herself.

All participating companies contribute numerous door prizes, raffle prizes, and free

samples for the women students.

Aside from the various programs that AWS initiates, this organization is con-
cerned with forming and modifying women's regulations. During the past years,
AWS has liberalized and eliminated many of the rules for women students, espe-
cially those dealing with curfews. The self-imposed curfew has now been extended
to include sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors.

The organization of AWS is based upon election and appointment. The officers
and class representatives are elected in the spring by a vote of all women students.
Later in the spring, the officers appoint the chairmen of the individual committees.
These students make up the AWS Executive Council — the actual representative
government of AWS. A representative from Presidents' Council, a council of all
the presidents of residence halls, and a representative from Panhel are also mem-
bers of the AWS Executive Council.

University Commuters' Association

The University Commuters' Association offers the commuter many oppor-
tunities to become involved in cam|)us life, and provides unity to the large group
of students who commute from ncai hy apartments and homes.

The Commuters' Den and the UCA Office are located in the basement of the
Student Union. The Den serves as a convenient place for commuters to eat, chat
with friends, or just relax between classes, away from the bustle of a large campus.

The UCA sponsors manv social and cultural events throughout the year. At
the annual Playboy Ball, students, especially males, enjoy the attention of authen-
tically attired, adorable "bunnies."

Other activties include casual dances, Friday afternoon Coke Dates, the
annual Homecoming float-building party, and the Banquet for installation of
officers.

Another important function of UCA is the representation of the commuters in
campus government. Thus, commuters elect three representatives to SGA Legis-
lature, and the UCA President sits on the SGA Cabinet. Carpools for commuters
are arranged at the beginning of each semester in the Den. The UCA also sponsors
a Weekend Trip Service for students wishing to share expenses or driving with
others.

The UCA is involved in all facets of University life. Not only does the UCA
offer social events, intramural teams, tutoring services, and exam files; it also
offers the many friendships formed with other commuters in the Den.

13 in the morning, there are no parJdng jacilities but this one. The question is: who uill

make it?

Suroi i/} Fill iiml Rush is held in the fall during registration week.

Panhellenic Council

The Panhellenic Council operates as the governing body for the entire sorority
system. The Council is composed of two delegates from each sorority who meet
twice monthly to discuss mutual problems concerning sorority standards, scholar-
ships, campus activties. and inter-sorority functions.

Sorority Rush is a highly organized function and is unified for all nineteen
sororities on campus in order to facilitate the smoothest and fairest Rush possible.
Panhel reviews, organizes, and makes the rules for sorority formal and informal
rush. Formal Rush begins in the fall during registration week with the first of the
four parties being the Open House. Each rushee must attend all nineteen sorority
Open Houses; this is her very brief introduction to sorority life. She then picks up
her bids for the set of eight at the Student Union at times designated; at this party
each rushee will be shown around the entire house and here she will become more
familiar with the girls. After these parties, she picks up her bids for the set of four
which are built aiound themes with entertainment, costumes, and refreshments.
Following the set of four parties she must limit herself to two houses for the pref-
erence teas. These are the last parties which end with the picking up of bids and
"pledging in." Every party will bring new and more permanent friendships. Each
is limited to a certain number of girls it can pledge. This "quota" is set each year
and is according to the number of girls rushing that year. Junior transfer students
are not counted in the quota.

Interfraternity Council

IFC, the coordinating body of the fraternity system, consists of the President's
Council and the House of Delegates with representatives from each fraternity
participating in these administrative bodies. The function of the council is to
perpetuate and promote the fraternity system and coordinate the activities of the
twenty-five houses. An important role of internal discipline is maintained by the
IFC Judicial Board.

Fraternity rush is conducted each semester, coordinated by the IFC. Formal
dinners, smokers, and parties highlight rush activities. Students in good academic
standing with the University are eligible for pledging. However, a 2.0 semester
average during pledgeship is required for initiation.

A varied program is carried out by the IFC annually, often to the benefit of
the entire student body as well as fraternity members. The IFC Presents, held each
Fall, brings talent such as Bob Hope and Bill Cosby to capacity crowds. The IFC
Ball, one of the few remaining formal events of the year, is held during semester
break and features well-known entertainers and bands. Retreats are held each
semester and are designed to study, in depth, problems facing the system and the
University or to provide leadership training.

Pholo by Mike Sitr

IFC Presents, held each fall, brought comedian Bill Cosby to an audience of 14.000.

Additional projects include Fall Greek Week, Spring Greek Week, and various
smokers for President Elkins. deans, and faculty.

Greeks are \vell-kno\\n for the multitude of community service programs con-
ducted in the community hy the IFC and individual chapters. National charity
administrators rely heavily on Greek participation. Cooperation and service to
College Park resulted in Mayor Williams Gullet proclaiming a special day to
recognize fraternities and sororities.

Academically, the IFC encourages good scholarship on the part of its member
chapters. Each chapter is required to maintain a minimum 2.0 average. Scholarship
awards are also provided by the IFC. The All-Fraternity average has been above
the All-Men's average every semester but one in the last ten years.

A Word To The Wise . . .

Now you're in. Your classes are scheduled and your books are bought. But
to feel a true part of the University community, there is one subject yet to be
considered — extracurricular activties.

To the new Maryland students who will be quick to take advantage of the
diversified program of activities, assimilation into campus life will be easy.

In the fall semester, all organizations make a campus-wide search for enthusi-
astic newcomers. Publications, professional groups, special interest clubs, and
student government committees extend a hearty welcome to all freshman and
transfer students seeking activities. Activities must be approached from the begin-
ning of the college career and should be geared to the student's own particular
interests.

You're here, of course, to concentrate on the books, but delaying your partici-
pation in activities will only hinder any chances for advancement later on in your
college career. Statistics have proven "that the students who find college the most
difficult are not those with too many activities, but those with too much inactivity."

For The Politically Aware . . ,

Campus Political Parties

Student elections at the University of Mar) land are modeled after national
election procedures. There are presenlh two acti\(' political paities: (lampus Action

membership fee.

Young Democrats

The University of Mar\land Young Democrats was formed in order to involve
students in the activities of the Democratic Party on local, state, and national levels.
Membership is open to those interested in the Party's goals and candidates. The
campus organization was active in the recent presidential election, working with
the Democratic National Committee. Present plans include a membership drive,
continued activity in the area of electoral reform, and a speaker program featuring
prominent Democratic personalities.

Young Republicans

The University of Maryland Young Republicans is a student group organized
to promote the Republican Party on campus and in the nearby communities. The
group campaigned last fall in Presidential, Senatorial, and Congressional races in
Maryland. The Young Republicans have recently formed their own jug band, for
the entertainment of the entire student body.

Black Student Union

For The Creative , . ,

Diamondback

The University's daily newspaper, tlie DiamondhacJc, is designed to be more
than an extracurricular activity. It is considered to be an extremely educational
experience, giving^ students from the entire University the ojiportunity to learn
and practice newspaper journalism in a professional atmosphere.

Extremely long hours and a demanding tradition are but two of the qualities
faced daily by some ten top staff members. A SloOjOOO yearly enterprise, the
Diamondback has a daily circulation of 20,000 which not only provides coverage
of University events, but also state and national events which affect students. The
history of award-winning articles and acknowledged excellence of the Diamond-
back demand the highest standards of collegiate journalism be maintained. Asso-
ciated Collegiate Press, a national organization of journalism professors, awarded
the paper an All-American rating for both semesters of the 1967-68 academic year.
Individual staff members have won numerous writing awards from diverse national
and college organizations.

The bulk of the organization consists of 60 or 70 additional staff members,
who gather, edit, and write the news for each edition. Their tasks are not quite so
complicated, but are absolutely essential. No journalism experience is necessary
to fill these positions. A typical DBK staff will have engineering students working
beside journalism majors, and physical education buffs toiling with math majors.
No academic credit is given for Diamondback work, but a certain amount of
money is available from Student Government Association funds each year for
honoraria.

For students who are interested in what goes on at the University and who
are interested in Avorking to bring this knowledge to the rest of the community,
the DBK offers the ultimate challenge.

Terrapin

Featuring the interests of residents, commuters, and Greeks, it ties together all
organizations, administrators, queens, headliners and sports through one basic
feature story. The 1969 Terrapin contains over 500 pages. It has the largest
circulation of any collegiate yearbook in the country — 18,000 were distributed in
May. There is more color than ever in the '69 book, with hopes for still more in
1970.

professionally-equipped studios are welcome to come to Building FF for further
information.

Course Guide

The Course Guide is published annually by students in an effort to provide
effective evaluation of faculty and courses. By including the various hang-ups,
pitfalls, and gripes concerning courses and instructors, the Course Guide aids the
student in selecting his class schedule. Only in its fourth year of operation, the
publication is still rapidly expanding. There are numerous staff positions open for
editors, interviewers, salesmen, artists, and "work horses." For more information,

For Those In Maryland ROTC . . .

Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps

The AFROTC objective is to place on active duty lieutenants who demon-
strate dedication to their assignments, willing acceptance of responsibility, critical
and creative thinking, and the ability to speak and write effectively. All men have
an opportunity to participate in the Air Force ROTC program and become mem-
bers of the aerospace team. A two-year program is planned for the junior and
senior years; freshmen may enter the four-year program. Both programs are
preceded by a summer Field Training Course in which cadets get their first
exposure to Air Force life and activities. They come in contact with cadets from
all over the United States.

Men who enter the four-year program have the opportunity of aiding them-
selves financially. They may enter into competition for a full financial assistance
grant. Qualified cadets from either the two-year or four-year program may take
the Flight Instruction Program which enables them to earn their private pilot
license. All cadets are entitled to many of the benefits offered to regular Air
Force personnel.

Arnold Air Society

The Arnold Air Society, professional organization of AFROTC cadets, pro-
motes the interests and ideals of the United States Air Force. Its members receive
the opportunity to develop their leadership qualities. They are prepared for the
positions of command which they will assume in the Air Force. Each semester,
second semester freshmen through seniors rush the society and are welcomed into
a six-week pledge program. The members of Arnold Air Society, in addition to
University and civic activities, sponsor the ROTC Military Ball and the Angel
Flight-Arnold Air Force football game.

Maryland Honor Guard

A recent addition to the University's community of military organizations is
the Maryland Honor Guard. A special organization of ROTC, the Guard aims to
build officers for the Air Force, to publicize ROTC, and to train men for drill
competition. An achievement program is set up for any ROTC member desiring
to become part of the Guard. As the member learns more of the required infor-
mation he advances in rank within the Guard. Toward the end of each semester
a banquet is held at a nearby Air Force base, and members are recognized for
their individual achievement.

The goal of the many practices, in which each of the members participate, is
the formation of a sixteen-man drill team. This trick drill team consists of both
rifles and sabres. It will represent the University in drill meets at many of the
large eastern universities. The team also participates in such local events as the
Cherry Blossom and Dogwood Festivals.

Angel Flight

The Frank P. Lahm Squadron of Angel Flight here at the University is only
part of a national honorary service organization with three main purposes. These
are to strengthen and promote interest in the Air Force, to provide college women
across the United States with knowledge and information concerning the military
service, and to aid the progress of the Arnold Air Society and the Honor Guard.

Angel Flight members serve as official hostesses for the University and for
the Honor Guard at such University functions as the University Convocation,
the President's Speech to the Freshmen and their Parents, and ROTC Day func-
tions. Last year they helped Coach Ward recruit new football players, and visited
returnees from Vietnam at Walter Reed and at Andrew's Air Force Base. Each
fall they serve as hostesses for the Air Force Association Convention. They work
jointly with the Arnold Air Society in rush programs, charity projects, receptions,
picnics, and desserts, and with the Maryland Honor Guard in functions such as
desserts and parades.

The selection of new Angels is based on poise, personality, interest in the
Angel Flight, and intelligence. The girls who are selected each semester as
pledges must have a 2.2 overall and previous semester average. The pledges
must complete the eight week program before receiving their "Silver Wings," the
Angel Flight symbol of membership.

To Be A Greek , . .

Greek oraanizations have long been a part of the University of Maryland
campus life lliroiiiili tlicir dedicalion to liuildinp; responsible students socially,
academically, and culturally. Integrated with the University program, fraternities
and sororities offer men and women a unique view of social living and communi-
cation through the ''house" environnient. Manv students who have lived in both
residence halls and '"houses" have found that the Greek svstem has su])erior living
accommodations, better food, and a more congenial atmosphere.

Social functions rej)resent one of the biggest contributions Greek organiza-
tions make to campus life. Each fraternit\ and sorority holds dances, desserts,
parties, formals, and open houses throughout the year, providing members with
virtually every type of social situation.

In addition to social functions. Greek houses are responsible for many Uni-
versity traditions. Phi Kappa Tau fraternity gives Greeks a chance to display
their vocal talents in the annual Barbershop Quartet Competition. Also on a
musical note is Delta Delta Delta sorority's annual Interfraternity Sing, a choral
singing event in which the fraternities and sororities compete for trophies. In the
fall, Sigma Chi fraternity sponsors Derby Day, another annual Greek competition.
Trophies are awarded for Spirit, House Decorations, Derby Day Queen, and
Over-All Awards.

The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, the fraternitv and
sorority governmental associations, sponsor the Fall and Spring Greek Weeks.
During Fall Greek Week, the Greeks have workshop programs and a re-dedication
of the University Chapel. This week is climaxed by Kappa Kappa Gamma
sorority's Pledge Skit Night and by Pledge Formal, dedicated to the new
initiates of each house. The Spring Greek Week is of a less serious tone, and is
marked by phone-booth stuffing and pie-eating contests, bike races, chariot races,
greased pole climbing, and Sorority Olympics, sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity.

More important than social life, however, is academic success. The Greek
emphasis on scholarship is evident in the consistently higher academic averages
of the Greeks as compared with the all-University average. Maryland fraternities
require a 2.0 overall average for initiation, while sororities require a 2.2 or higher
average. Greek upperclassmen often hold study halls and help-sessions for their
pledges in order to ensure the best possible grades. At the end of each semester, a
cup is presented to the sorority and fraternity with the highest academic average.
Recognition is given to outstanding Greek men and women as they are tapped into
Kalegethos and Diamond, the Greek honoraries.

Philanthropic projects also play an important role in Greek life. Alpha
Omicron Pi sorority and Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity co-sponsor two campus-wide
blood drives to aid the Red Cross. Every house contributes to Campus Chest,
especially during the Aveeks of the Ugly Man on Campus and Miss Cainpus Chest
Queen contests. To collect money, fraternities and sororities hold roadblocks, bake

sales, car washes, and raffles, with all proceeds going to charity. Sigma Delta Tau
sorority retired the Ugly Man on Campus trophy, their total collections repre-
senting one-sixth of the total amount collected by all the organizations partici-
pating in the contest. In addition, many houses also sponsor orphans' i)arties. and
work with mentally retarded children in the area.

Athletics are an important part of the Maryland Greek system. Each fraternity
enters sports contests ranging from football, basketball, and softball to horseshoes,
bowling, and ping-pong. Points are awarded for victories in all competitions and
are compiled each year to determine the winner of the highly coveted All-Sports
Trophy.

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) promotes closer unity and cooperation
among the fraternities. This is done through regularly-scheduled meetings in
which each house has equal voice and representation. The IFC also sponsors many
activities which involve the Greeks, but are also for the enjoyment of all Uni-
versity students. "IFC Presents" has in the past brought well-known artists, such
as Sammy Davis, Jr., Bob Hope, and Bill Cosbv. to the campus. To close the
fall semester, IFC also sponsors the IFC Ball just for Greeks.

The Panhellenic Council is the sorority counterpart of the IFC, and is com-
posed of representatives from all nineteen sororitv houses on campus. One of the
main functions of Panhel is, in conjunction with the faculty and administration,
the formulation of rules concerning sorority formal and informal rush, sorority
membership, pledging, and initiation. Both the Panhellenic Council and IFC
publish freshman handbooks to help answer further questions you might have
about the Greek system at Maryland.

In short, Greeks are active in all phases of University life.

Fourteen of the Greek Houses are situated on the picturesque ''Fraternity Row.

Maryland Athletics

Football

Maryland football still has much room for improvement from the poor records
of the past few years. However, with a change in the positions of both athletic
director and coach, there should be a chance for long-range improvement.

The coming season will feature these lettermen who were the outstanding
players on the squad last year: Bill Myster, offensive lineman; Ken Button, de-
fensive back; Hank Garris, defensive end; and tailback John King. The recruitment
of several junior college transfer players will add further strength and experience
to the team.

Maryland's team is still in the process of rebuilding, and with the resignation
of Coach Bob Ward last March, much of the team's strategy this year will be new.

Soccer

"Number One" is the only way to explain the performance of the 1968 Mary-
land soccer team. The Terrapins had the best record in the country with 14 wins,
one tie, and no losses. To go with this tremendous season record, the Terps won
the Atlantic Coast Conference for the fifteenth time in fifteen years as a varsity
sport.

At the end of the regular season play, the Terps were 11-0 with victories
over arch rivals Navy (2-1), and North Carolina (3-1). The Terps were chosen
as the number one team in the South and were invited to play in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. The team took full advantage of the
situation and beat powerhouse St. Louis (3-1), Hartwick (2-1), and big favorite
San Jose State (4-3), and tied Michigan State in the final game with a score of 2-2.

During this season there was tremendous play by all of the players on the
MU squad although only two were named first team Ail-American. These excep-
tional hooters were Mario Jelencovich, the goalie, and John Brandoni, center full-
back. During the NCAA tournament, Mario won the most valuable defensive
player tournament award, and Rocco Morelli set a new NCAA tournament record
by scoring four goals in one game. Other players honored after the season were
AU-American Alvaro Bitencourt, Melih Sensoy, Rocco Morelli, Larry Ruhs, with
Jelencovich and Brandoni on the All-ACC first team.

The great success of the '68 team has drawn great players to the University,
so another championship team seems to be in the offing.

Rugby

The University of Maryland Rugby Football Club had its beginning in the
Spring of 1967 when interested students from Baltimore and Washington began
practice on campus. That first season they played two games, winning one and
losing one.

In the fall of 1967, a large turnout made it possible to play a full 'B' schedule
in the Eastern Rugby Union. A large number of people who had played overseas
gave the team the necessary experience to compile a 6-4 won-lost record against
teams from George Washington, Georgetown, Virginia, Wheeling, Washington,
and George Mason.

The following spring marked the return of a number of veterans augmented
by many former football players. Natural ability coupled with rapidly gained
experience qualified the team for 'A' level status at the end of the season. This
status was justified in the fall of 1968 when the club compiled a 6-4 record against
all 'A' competition.

Since the Fall of 1068 the cluh lias continually strived to produce even better
teams. Memhership is open to any student or faculty member who desires to play.
Experience and size are not as itn])()rlant as enthusiasm.

The team consists not onix of undergraduates, but also of graduate students
and faculty members. There are currently four teams representing the University.
Since there are no suiislitutions allowed once the game has commenced, a premium
is placed on fitness.

Practice is held from ?):'.]{) p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday after-
noons on Denton field. All interested persons are urged to attend. No equipment
is necessary except football or soccer boots. Experienced members of the team
provide the coaching.

Some of the outstanding players of the past season include Pete Griffiths,
Jimmie Saint de Omer Roy. Jim Ross, Phil Hanlon, LaAvrence Babits, Jim Buckley,
and Maynard Curry.

Swimming

Maryland's varsitv swim team once again established itself as an East Coast
swimming power in 1068. With the midseason clouting of Navy it was evident that
Coach Bill Campbell had once again molded his team into a powerhouse.

Outstanding among the tankers were senior Dave Heini in the 1000-yard
and 500-yard freest\le. Mike Golul) in the short sj)rints. and Ron Brillhart, a spe-
cialist in the medley. After transferring from Arizona State, Ron Hoffman set many
records in diving.

An important asset in all ]\bir\]and tanker meets was the element of "psych"
which often proved as important to the team's success as weeks of practice. Surely
it caused the losses suffered by many opponents.

The majority of the Terj) swimmers are returning this year, so another suc-
cessful team appears likely.

Lacrosse

I^acrosse is popularly known as "the fastest game on two feet," and the Mary-
land team fully lives up to this tradition. Combining the ruggedness of football,
the stamina of cross-country, and the fmesse of tennis, lacrosse stands among the
most demanding of games. But it is certainly a satisfying sport. All-Americans
like Steve Lavaute and Steve Pfeiffer. both of whom played for Maryland last
year, will tell of how the thrills of competition and the cheers of the crowd are in
themselves reward enough for playing.

Sporting a championship record (tied for national collegiate first place in '67
and gaining a second place in '6«)) the team consistently proves its mastery of
the game. The guiding spirit of the team. Coach John "Hezzie" Howard, is one
of the most successful and well-liked coaches at Maryland.

The excitement tliat fills the air before a crucial match never fails to draw
large enthusiastic crowds.

Plioto by Steve Garver

Cross Country and Track

Throughout its years at the University, the Maryland track team has acquired
a reputation for uniform excellence. Last year the team won its fourteenth straight
ACC title.

Commanded by former Coach Jim Kehoe, the Harriers have set many con-
ference and individual records. Part of this amazing record can be attributed to
Kehoe himself, a taskmaster who expects nothing less than 100 percent from each
man on the team. He has personally looked over every phase of the track program
from coaching and recruiting to administrative details. The result of this hard
work and dedication is startlingly evident in the teams' unblemished record.

However, much of the credit for this success must be attributed to the athletes
themselves, for no coach can go far without the necessary material. It is small
wonder that Kehoe's teams are the best with men like John Baker, Russ Taintor,
Charlie Shrader (the fastest cross-country man in the ACC), Roland Merritt (MU's
top sprinter), Joe David in the high jump, Elliott Garrett in the long jump, and
Buddy Williamson in the pole vault. If Maryland can continue to draw men like
these, then track and cross country need never worry the University.

Basketball

Basketball proved to be quite a paradox last year at Maryland. Although
sporting a poor season record, the team had two standouts in Maryland University
basketball history. Will Hetzel and Pete "Jackrabbit" Johnson zoomed up to be
two of the five highest scorers in the school's history. Both have been important
in keeping the Terps in competition. Hetzel stands a good chance to become the
all-time high scorer in MU history.

Mickey Wiles, in his first year on the varsity squad, proved to be a spark to
the team with his playmaking and ball handling ability.

Although Maryland had a los-
ing record, several of the games
were three, two, or one point
decisions lost in the last few
seconds. Notable was the Feb-
ruary loss to the University
of North Carolina (nationally
ranked third at the time) in the
last two seconds of the game —
by a score of 88-86. Another
February match proved to be
crucial, when a win over Clem-
son pulled the team out of the
ACC cellar.

Wrestling

Last year, Maryland's wres-
tling team won its 16th straight
ACC championship, losing only
two matches. Both were extra-
conference.

The team this year will
be losing All-American Gobel
Kline, but the return of such
lettermen as Ralph Sonntag
and Tom Talbert should assure
Coach "Sully" Krouse of a
strong nucleus for another suc-
cessful team.

Photo by Wilson

Basketball games shoot a close score with
Maryland losing within the last few
seconds of the game.

If precedent is any indication, we can expect another spectacular season.
In Coach Krouse's 21 years as a Varsity coach, the Terps have posted 120 wins,
58 losses, and five ties.

Especially tense in '69 will be the Lehigh and Navy meets. Maryland beat
Lehigh last year when they were considered one of the top ten wrestling teams
in the nation and surely the powerhouse of the East Coast. The Navy team tied the
Terps in '68, and both teams will be out for revenge this year.

The life of a Maryland wrestler could never be considered easy. Dieting is
not the least of their worries; sometimes as much as 40 lbs. must be lost to reach
match weight, and this loss must occasionally come about in a matter of weeks
or even days. Three hours of wrestling, an hour of weightlifting, and an hour of
running is not an uncommon daily practice session.

Hockey

The Maryland Hockey Club will begin its sixth season this year. Because it
receives no financial support from the University, the club has become famous
for its "shoestring" operations and individualistic methods. Consisting of under-
graduates, graduates, and faculty members, the team provides its own coaching,
as well as organizing practices and games. The team is entirely self-supporting.

Although the Hockey Club sported a losing season last year, several players
became noted for their ability. Pete Brown was among the top scorers in the
league. Other able players were Paul Buckley, Ted Bowser, and Jonas Rosenthal.
Player-Coach Brent Tully and Captain Mike Hugan provided the leadership for
the 68-69 season.

The team relies heavily on out-of-state players because of the de-emphasis on
Maryland hockey. However, those who have taken the trouble to witness a game
(usually held in D.C. Coliseum) agree that it is one of the fastest and most
exciting sports around.

Currently the club is on the lookout for experienced hockey players. Tryout
dates are announced in the Diamondback in late fall.

Baseball

In the past two years the Maryland baseball team has produced more profes-
sional athletes than any other University team. Although little publicity is given to
varsity baseball, thousands of dollars have been invested over the past two years
by pro ball organizations to gain the contract rights for these exceptional college
stars.

Such players as John Hetrick, George Kaymarek, Mike Herson, Tom Bradley,
and George Manz have signed professionally and currently play on various league
teams. The total bonus money alone paid to these ball players was probably over
one hundred thousand dollars.

This year coach Jack Jackson has another good crop of potential major
leaguers, and hopes to improve the 19 and 6 record of 1968. Returning this year
are All-ACC Jim Norris, the ACC's leading batter; All-ACC outfielder Gene Hiser;
sophomore shortstop Mike Baier; team runs-batted-in leader and All-ACC catcher
Bob Simpson. Phil Coradry returns from last years top four pitchers to be number
one in the pitching rotation for '69.

The key to the coming season will lie in the pitching department. Coach Jack-
son lost three of the starting four Avhich helped to produce a team earned run
average of .99. This mark was one of the best in college baseball and will be tough
to duplicate due to an inexperienced pitching staff. Hopefully, a more experienced
and better balanced offensive lineup will compensate for what is lacking in pitching
depth to produce another tight race in the ACC.

Golf

The Maryland Golf team is one of the top p;olf teams on the east coast, and
shows signs of remaining so. Never having sufTered a losing season, the Terrapin
Golfers have become used to winning.

The Terps are fortunate enough to play on probably the best golfing facilities
in the ACC.

According to coach Barry Rodenhauer, the team stands to do as well this
year as it did last spring. The Y)9 team was highlighted by such players as Brian
Williams (Maryland's number one golfer) and Tom Medlin (captain), along
with equally fine players Billy Ziobro, Paul Young, Todd VandeHey, and Bill
Calsee.

Tennis

The excitement of individual competition reaches a peak in tennis, and the
competition will be keen this spring when the Maryland tennis team returns to
action. For the past few seasons the Terps have been among the top in the league.

Coach Doyle Royal has proven his worth through his enviable coaching record,
and he expects that there will be good attendance at home matches this year. The
intense drive to win and the finesse of the game combine to make it one of the more
interesting spectator sports.

Intramurals are a very integral part of the sports program at the University.

Intramurals

The intramurals program at the University of Maryland is one of the most
extensive in the entire country. Every year thousands of students participate in
this program — a program which gives every male student at the University a
chance to participate in athletics. Almost every conceivahle sport is included from
horseshoes in the fall to track in the sj)ring. Of course, there are team sports like
foothall, baskethall, and softball, hut for those not particularly disposed to these
traditional sports, there is a wealth of opportunity for individual competition in
sports like wrestling, badminton, and ping pong.

There are three intramural leagues in which Greeks and independents may
participate; the fraternity, the open, and the "dorm" leagues. In some of the
sports, most noticeably football and basketball, there are playoffs between the
champions in each league. Adding to the general enjoyment of athletics themselves
is this inter-team and inter-league rivalry.

M-Club

The Varsity M-Club is Maryland's letterman organization. It provides an op-
portunity for athletes of all sports to meet together and pursue common interests.
The M-Club sponsors various events each year, notably the annual basketball triple-
header held at Richie Coliseum. The tournament decides the championship between
the three intramural leagues. A small admission fee is donated to Campus Chest.
The club also sponsors a Spring Awards banquet for unusual athletes at Maryland.
Each year the M-Club provides escorts for the Homecoming Queen, and last year
the club held a "Banner Day" — a day in which students decorated Cole Field
House with spirited signs prior to a basketball game.

Women's Recreational Association

The Women's Recreational Association is composed of all undergraduate
women who automatically become members when they matriculate. This student
organization is governed by elected officers and representatives from the residence
halls, sororities, and commuters. Although organized for the purpose of sports
activities, the WRA provides an opportunity for leadership through committee
chairmanships, for companionship, and for group participation.

The primary concern of the Women's Recreational Association is the pro-
motion of women's athletics. The WRA sponsors official teams in hockey, basketball,
tennis, lacrosse, volleyball, and swimming. These teams compete in games with
various colleges and universities such as American University, George Washington,
Trinity, Marymount, and Gallaudet.

The WRA also plays an important part in organizing the intramural sports
among the residence halls, the sororities, and the "Daydodgers" (commuters).
These intramurals are designed primarily for students who love sports but have
little spare time. Intramural activities include basketball, swimming, pingpong,
volleyball, and badminton tournaments. The winners of these tournaments are
awarded trophies at the WRA Spring Banquet.

Interest groups sponsored by WRA provide instruction in tennis, ice skating,
self-defense, and horseback riding. Several coeducational clubs are also affiliated
with WRA, including Aqualiners, Modern Dance, and Fencing. In addition, WRA
sponsors events such as the Freshman Picnic held during Freshman Orientation
Week, an attempt to interest freshman women in the WRA program; the Hockey,
Tennis, and Golf Sports Day held in the fall; and the Spring Banquet during
which trophies are awarded and new members are inducted into Sigma Tau Epsilon,
the WRA honorary.

The WRA office is located in Preinkert Field House. Interested women students
should apply there to participate in WRA activities.

Color Guard

Waving in the breeze at all home football games are the eight ACC flags
carried by the University of Maryland Color Guard. These high stepping co-eds
lead the marching Terrapin Band onto the field during their pre-game and half
time routines. The Color Guard is comprised of girls ranging from sophomore to
senior, carrying the school flags of Duke, South Carolina, North Carolina, North
Carolina State, Clemson, Virginia, Wake Forest, and our own of Maryland.

Spring tryouts result in the selection of eight spirited and co-ordinated
marchers. Four alternates are chosen to participate at Homecoming events. These
girls are under the direction of the band leader, Mr. Wakefield, and the Color
Guard captain and co-captain.

Each fall the girls work and practice their routines during regular marching
band practices held twice a week. The Color Guard and band perform at all
home football games. One away game each season finds the Color Guard and band
traveling to an ACC or non-conference school. Last year the band traveled to
Syracuse to spend a football weekend.

Cheerleaders

The University of Maryland cheerleading squad, composed of ten girls and
three boys, lends its enthusiastic support to the Maryland athletes at all football,
basketball, and lacrosse games. Besides cheering for the teams, the members of
the squad also send "good luck" letters to all Maryland teams before a scheduled
competition. This year the girls also hope to take part in the athletic recruiting
program.

Girls' cheerleading tryouts are held before the last home football game
in November, while the boys' tryouts are then and in the spring. All interested
students are urged to try out.

Did You Know ? ? ?

Although the M-Book has abeady answered some of the questions you may
have concerning University life, there are some that remain unanswered. For
this reason we instituted this section for this year's M-Book. We hope that this
section w ill aid you in becoming better acquainted w ith all facets of the University.

How can I i^ain meanin infill relalionships uith people on such a large campus?

Long-lasting friendships can be established during Orientation Week by
participating in a Reference Group. The Outdoor Dance and IFC Mixer
also provide a great opportunity to meet people. Friendships can also be
started by joining some of the many clubs and committees which are open to
all students.

Is every residence hall on campus alike?

No. Many halls, such as La Plata and Ellicott, are very modern, high-rise
buildings located on the outer fringe of the campus. The other residence halls
are built in colonial style and are located closer to the main campus.

. . . and then there are the trailers located to the left of Fraternity Row.

May I ever have a member of the opposite sex in my room?

Yes. An open house program was extended on our campus in the Fall semester
of 1968. The hours that boys may be in girls' rooms (and vice versa) vary
with each residence hall.

What are desserts?

Desserts are mixers which are held various times during the semester on week
nights by the residence halls and between fraternities and sororities. Many
desserts are held off-campus where a band and alcoholic beverages are
provided.

Is there any tvay I can be active in sports tvithoiit joining a freshman or varsity

team?

The Intramural Department has an extensive program in all fall and spring
sports, in which dorms and fraternities compete for coveted trophies. For
girls there are the WRA-sponsored intramurals and interest groups.

Do residence halls provide facilities other than rooms in which to sleep?

Every dorm has study and recreation rooms. The recreation rooms contain
Macke machines for your appetite, televisions, and ample room for just
lounging around. The high-rise halls have kitchens on every floor where
light snacks may be refrigerated or cooked.

As a girl, when ivill I have to be in my residence hall each night?

Freshman girls have a 1:30 a.m. curfew on Friday and Saturday nights and
a midnight curfew on week nights.

When does fraternity and sorority rush open?

Rush opens during registration week, with a sign-up in the Student Union.
Fraternities also hold rush during the beginning of the spring semester.

Where may I purchase guest tickets for football and basketball games?

Tickets may be obtained at the box office in the lobby of Cole Field House.

Are any of the concerts sponsored by different associations on campus expensive?
No. Tickets for many of the Cultural Committee and Student Union Board
events may be obtained with the presentation of your student I.D.

Since many of my classes will be very large, will it be possible for me to meet

people and get to know them well?

Yes. Although many of the classes are large, they are frequently divided into
discussion sections or labs which meet once a week. These smaller groups
provide you with a chance to meet many students that are in your larger
lecture class.

I'm afraid I'll have a difficult time finding all of my classes on the first day of
classes.

You should "walk out" your schedule the day before classes begin, to avoid
confusion. Small maps of the campus are available in this M-Book. Don't be
discouraged if you get lost. There are always students around who will be
willing to help you.

How many libraries does this campus have?

In addition to the main library, there are libraries located in the mathematics,
chemistry, and education buildings.

Where are the girls, boys? Intervisitation now allows co-ed visiting.

Will there be a limit placed on the number of cuts I can take for each class?

The number of cuts permitted during the semester will be determined by the
individual professor, but students are usually encouraged not to cut because
missing a class can make you fall behind in a subject.

Is it difficult to catch up with school work if I fall behind?

Yes, it is very difficult to catch up since many of the assignments given in
classes are long and require many hours of studying. Proper study habits
should be developed early in the semester.

Is there anywhere I can go for help in my studying?

There is a Counseling Center and a Reading and Study Skills Laboratory in
the Shoemaker Building. Students have found these to be helpful resources.

Will I have rapport ivith my professors?

Most professors are willing to help interested students, and encourage those
with questions or problems to come in and visit them during their office hours.

Where will I be able to find the course and credit requirements I will need for
the next four years?

Course and credit requirements are listed in catalogs issued by your college;

they are available in your Dean's office.

Are deficiency slips sent to my home if I am doin^ poorly in any of my courses?

Deficiency slips are sent to your parents after the first six weeks of classes,
if your grades warrant it.

Is there any ivay I can receive my final examination and course grades before
the University sends me my grade slip?

After final examinations most instructors will accept postcards to mail you

your grades.

Whom can I go to to discuss problems I may have with my courses?

Appointed advisors or your instructors will be willing to discuss any problems
or questions you may have.

Where can I buy and sell my books?

Books may be bought or sold at the Maryland Book Exchange (on Route 1),
the Student Union Supply Store, or at APO in the basement of the Student
Union.

Where can I get information concerning fnancial assistance?

Information concerning financial assistance (loans, scholarships, and Avork-
study) is available in the North Administration Building, second floor.

Is it possible for me to find a listing of jobs for part-time employment?

By visiting Mr. Bruce Ritter in the Placement Office (Cumberland Hall), you
can obtain a listing of employers for summer and part-time job placement.

How do I learn of upcoming events?

The Student Activities Department publishes a Calendar of Events every
semester which lists upcoming events. These are available at the main desk in
the Student Union. Further information may be obtained by reading the
Diamondback and listening to the campus radio station, WMUC.

The "Vous," the "Grill," and the local doniit shop all provide adequate night-time socializing

and eating.

3^' • M«

Are there any stores near school?

Yes. There is a shopping center outside the main gate in College Park, \vhere
you can find your every need at the drug, food, and clothes stores located there.

Where can I find clothing stores?

For extensive shopping. Prince George's Plaza can be reached by a bus leaving
from the Student Union. In College Park such stores as Karen Ames and
Powers & Goode provide students with an excellent selection of the latest
fashions.

Are there any restaurants near school?

Hungry stomachs can be fdled at the numerous restaurants on Route 1.
Howie's, Hot Shoppes, and Arby's are favorites of the University students.

A piece of friendly advice . . .

... if you want to be happy at this large University, you should involve yourself

wholeheartedly in your studies and meaningful activities.

WE WISH YOU MUCH LUCK
