LAND IN

PICTURES

EDITED BY ROBIN SOLOMON

One of the easiest things to have done, and also the most fun, was
to expose "Maryland In Pictures. " This campus was beautiful and the
people who spent time on campus whether as students, faculty or
visitors made a profound impact on the school.

The campus offered students the landscapes and backgrounds to
enhance all sorts of occasions. In the springtime, there was not a
more romantic spot for a date than sitting at the fountain on
McKeldin Mall with a loved one. McKeldin Mall also provided
sunbathers the ideal location when the sun was bright and the classes
were boring. Students made their own adventures during the winter
months when campus became a snow covered playground. What-
ever the season, Maryland students took advantage of the campus
and made the most of the elements offered by nature.

Aside from the physical aspects, the best thing about the campus
were the people who enjoyed being here. The diversity at UMCP
added greatly to the reasons why students chose to come to the
school. The scenery shots were easy to take, but the challenge and
the reward came from exposing the people who made the true
beauty of Maryland come alive.

LET'S GET EXPOSED

EDITED BY ROBIN SOLOMON AND
MATILDE OTT

"Exposing Ourselves" What perverted thoughts crept into a person's
head when this theme was revealed? The more thoughts the merrier, but
room ought to have been left for the true intended thoughts of this idea that
should race through a Maryland students' mind as swiftly as the beer races
through their veins.

As sure as the fact that it rained the day you had to carry posters to a
class presentation or that the one time you brought your car up to school
you got a parking ticket, your experiences at Maryland have caused you
to expose yourself in more ways than one.

Every experience at UMCP caused students to expose more of
themselves until it became downright obscene. By shedding off the layers
of everything that they were used too and exposing themselves to be
immersed in a multitude of possibilities - this was what college was all
about. Exposing ourselves should have been a celebrated event. And
therefore, because exposing oneself was largely ignored, unless taken in
the literal sense, it was about time the naked truth be recognized. The
student body of Maryland exposing itself helped to fulfill the college
experience

SOMETHING FOR

EVERYONE

College life was not just academics
and studying every waking moment.
Many students enjoyed active leisure
time as well. College Park had a
variety of restaurants and bars, and
the University had a movie house and
a bowling alley . Most of the establish-
ments were located were located on
Route 1, also known to students as
"the strip." Students could choose
restaurants such as Santa Fe, R.J.
Bentley's or 94th Aero Squadron.
They could also go to clubs such as
the Paragon and the Cellar, the Vous
or Ground Zero. Students could go
to the Cellar or Town Hall to play
pool.

There were two bowling alleys in
College Park. One was located right
on the campus in the Stamp Student
Union and the other was a Fair Lanes
located on Route 1 . College Park did
not have a movie theater, but there
was one on campus in the Union,
known as the Hoff Theater.

A recent craze that hit College Park
was the arrival of the coffee house.
Java Heads was located between the
Vous and Bentley's and the newly
rebuilt Planet X was just across the
street.

On any given night, you could drive
through College Park and see stu-
dents in these establishments or wait-
ing patiently in line to enter and have
a good time.

Santa Fe offered many specials regu-
larly to the students. Manager Sean
Mulcahy that Tuesday night was popu-
lar because of the one dollar BudiM
special. He said that beer specials
were offered during Terp athletic
events and a big screen TV hung from
the ceiling to show various sporting
events. Wednesday evening was Q&A
time. This was a trivia game in which
patrons could participate and attempt
to outsmart their fellow contenders.
Santa Fe also offered a lively Friday
happy hour that included D.J. "AQ"

from local radio station WHFS. Se-
nior Matthew Goodman said that
Santa Fe was one of his favorite places
because of the music and atmosphere.
R.J Bentley's also offered many
specials to the students. Manager
Kevin Braswell mentioned various
events including Phi Delta Theta's
"Bourbon Nite" on Sundays. The
fraternity came up with the idea of
having a $1.75 bourbon night, and
currently in its second year, the idea
seemed to have worked. Braswell
explained that the restaurant's busi-
ness went in stages. During the sum-
mer, many students were gone but
there was a group that came in regu-
larly. When school started, only cer-
tain nights of the week, like Thursday,
were extremely busy. Bentley's also
brought in a number of alumni. Home-
coming was a popular time for former
students to return to their alma mater.

The Vous, located next to Bentley's, was known for
its long lines of students waiting to enter. This club
offered a "Jamaican Me Crazy" Friday happy hour. It
included discounted drinks and live reggae bands.

The Cellar and the Paragon, which stayed closed
until evening, were known for their dancing and live
music. Generally, the Cellar attracted a late-night
crowd. Students could go upstairs to the Paragon for
a fee to hear live music or they could stay in the Cellar,
which truly resembled one, and drink, dance or play
pool. Graduates Jenny Condlin and Dave Goldman
liked the Cellar for its beer pitchers and dancing.

Coffee house. Planet X was just rebuilt after a fire
destroyed it during the summer of 1994. Owner
Justine Carpenter said that business had doubled since
reopening. She felt that the reason was the place had
become more appealing. Planet X was known for its
poetry readings on Wednesdays. Additionally, it had
live classical and jazz brunches. Carpenter explained
that she wanted to give the students different music
from the other establishments, as well as a different
atmosphere.

A new business that opened in College Park was
Ground Zero. This club catered to the underage and
non-drinking crowd because it sold no alcohol. It was
a dance club where students could strut their stuff until
the early morning hours.

With all of the establishments in College Park, the
night life for students stayed very active. They could
enjoy everything from dancing, to drinking, to playing
pool and even watching a ball game. The night life at
Maryland offered something for everyone.

MARYLAND STUDENT LIFE

All photos on this spread by Maggie Soiaday

onal View Of

rvtand\ Student

Every student who came to the University of Maryland had their own stories of friendships, love and life. Each story
involved hardships and funny memories that will never leave their mind. The diversity of the student body of Maryland
accounted for a multitude of stories that were unique for each student. The relationships of Maryland students were
also unique and memorable. The non traditional relationships on the campus enhanced student's awareness and
made the campus more special for them being there. Students overcame the hardships of these "different"
relationships, such as being single parents and having long-distance romances, to become stronger individuals and
stronger partners in their relationship. Students risked ridicule, stressful lives and much more to prosper in a
relationship that was important to them. To expose these special relationships was important because the students
featured in this section can teach us all how to be strong in the face of adversity and how to love unconditionally.

Ken Dezio is a senior chennical engi-
neer major from Davidsonuille, Mary-
land. Nicolette Johnson is a junior
math major from H\jattsuiUe, Mary-
land attending Maryland for the first
time. They have been dating 10
months. What makes their relationsip
special is that they are able to cross the
racial boundaries.
Where did you meet?
Ken: Washington Hall.
Nicolette: (laughs) A mutual friend intro-
duced us at a party... we met last Sep-
tember.

Who initiated the relationship?
Ken: She got my phone number from
our mutual friend... she was trying to
organize everybody to go out. We all got
together and eventually I asked her out.
Is this your first interracial rela-
tionship?
Nicolette: No.
Ken: Yes... Actually no.
Were the past interracial relation-
ships difficult?

Nicolette: This is my third. Sometimes
there might be a big problem with par-
ents and other family members. Most of
my friends are very understanding... and

they even tried to get us together, so they
don't have a problem with it.
Have you received any hostile feel-
ing from people on campus?

Ken: No. Not on campus.
Off campus?

Nicolette: Everywhere.

People dont care who

you are but they just

want to say whatever

they have to say to your

face.

Ken: We went to Greenwich Village and
were walking and a bunch of guys said
something when we passed them.
Do you receive a lot of hostile
reactions off campus?
Nicolette: Not really. Now and then I see
people who give us looks-but they are
not very outright with their opinions.
Off campus, people don't care who you
are but they just want to say whatever

they have to say to your face.

Does it upset you when it happens?

Nicolette: I just don't understand... as
long as 1 am happy and I am treated
well, 1 do not think it is anybody's
business.

Are both of your families sup-
portive?

Nicolette: No. My mom's not.
Ken: No.

How do you deal with that?
Nicolette: It kind of hurts. I figure she
[mom] will come around-hopefully
sooner or later.

What are the positive aspects of
this relationship?
Ken: It is just a normal relationship.
Future plans?

Ken: Well... for dinner tonight...
(laughs)

Would you like to say anything to
people who do not understand
interracial relationships?

Nicolette: We are people in similar
situations. Just don't take anybody
else's crap. If they have problems with
it-then they do. I guess if people
don't understand, they should go
someplace I won't mention (laughs).

Jomie McDonald is a English graduate students attending

Maryland for his first year. Amy Zumfelde is a graduate

student studying and teaching english in Austria on a

scholarship. Jamie and Amy have been dating one year

today, October 29th. Amy left the United States in

Semptember 1994 and will not return until July 1995.

How did you meet?

We had a freshman class together and subsequently didn't talk

to each other for a couple of years. It kind of ended up that we

applied for the same scholarships together as seniors and we

ended up getting together then.

Did you make any arrangements before she left? Is the

relationship open to seeing other people?

It is kind of an unspoken thing in which we realized we weren't

going to date other people. The relationship was far enough

along.

How are the phone bills?

Not too good at the moment (laughs). We talk every week or

so for ten minutes or something like that. We also write... we

were both English majors, so we end up writing a lot.

Do you plan on visiting her?

Yes. 1 am going there over the break for a couple of weeks.

What are the problems you have encountered with the

relationship being long distance?

Just the fact that every time 1 want to talk to her, instead of being

on campus like in our undergraduate years, it is a long distance

call and so forth. She is having all these new and fun things to

do that she can only tell me about. . .that is one of the complaints

we have.

What do you miss most?

Just the fact that I have no social life at all (laughs) Maybe I will

go out with a couple of friends once in a while, but it does help

me study a lot.

If you could say something to her right now, what would

it be?

(laughs) COME BACK!

Heather Davis is a senior Journalism student preparing to

graduate in May 1995. Michael Elias is a golf professional

living in North Carolina. Heather and Michael have been

dating over three and a half years. They have been engaged

since October 21st 1993. Heather wants to share her

personal experiences of having a long distance relationship

for two and a half years.

How long have you had this long distance relationship?

We have been seeing each other for three and a half years. We

have been apart probably two and a half of the three and a half

years.

How often do you correspond to each other?

Neither of us have enough time to do a lot of letter writing, so

we talk on the phone and try to see each other every three

weeks. The first semester we spent $1,200 on phone bills. I

think 1 am AT&T's best customer.

Did you ever agree to see other people?

It was a non-issue with us. We have a very special relationship.

When we first went out we were 13 years-old. We weren't

together for very long, but we remained friends. We really

didn't date anyone else after that so we got back together. He

was always there in the back of my mind. When we finally

started going out again we knew we were in love with each other

and we knew we wanted to marry each other.

Do you think having a long distance relationship has

hindered or enhanced your relationship?

1 think it did a little bit of both. Apart, we learned a lot about

ourselves as individuals. If we were together the whole time,

especially since we were so young when we started seeing each

other, it would have probably hurt our growth as individuals. It

has been hard being apart... it is like I am not whole because he

is a such a part of me. It is hard when I think of all the things

we could have done together. There are so many things 1 would

have loved to shared with him.

if you could say anything to him right now what would

you say?

That I love him and I miss him.

lammy Lee Magee is a senior english
major, full time student , part-time em-
ployee and full-time mom. Mia Michelle
Magee is her four 4 year-old daughter
and inspiratiopn. Tammy has been a
single mother for the last three years.
How difficult was it to return to school?
You would think it would he much, but it
was just natural to con:ie back. When I first
went back to Montgomery College (M.C.) I
started this single parent student's club,
which was a great help to me. It was like a
support group-that's what helped me
through. So it wasn't that hard-she [Mia]
was a motivation.

What exactly did the support group
teach you?

It's not that we learned anything - we just
were there to talk about what we were all
going through. Everybody had their own
particular situation. Some were from a
divorce or their man just walked out on
them or whatever. In my case 1 left him
because it was not what 1 wanted. The
support group was just people coming
together to discus complications with being
a full time student and a single parent.
What are some of the obstacles of
being a full time student and a single
parent?

Depending on the age of your child - like for
me - Mia was so young, there was no
studying time. I was still nursing - 1 nursed
her until she was almost two. Can you
imagine, (laughs) She wanted to nurse and
as she got older, all night long. And you
think about trying to study at night? Most
people study at night, don't even think
about studying on the weekend. Especially

now that she is older. Weekends, 1 am a full
time mom. That's one thing that would be
nice if teachers would understand. They
think over the weekend people do most of
their homework, but 1 can't do anything
over the weekend . Until 1 graduate , i will just
work around it.

Do you tell your professors that you
area single parent?
I've told a couple of them. I hate to - it's like
walking around with a handicap. I was
doing accounting at MC and I got a "C" in
a course that I felt 1 deserved a "B". I argued

She is just a positive force

that encourages me to

more forward.

with the professor and he wouldn't give me
a "B". Then one of his secretaries told him
I was a mother and all of the sudden 1 got
this "B" ... It really ticked me off! Regardless
of my situation, I should have received a
"B" . No, I lean away from telling my profes-
sors. Yeah, it is a pain (laughs).
What are the benefits of being a single
mother?

You can not be down around your child...
Because they feed off of whatever you are
feeling. She and I are like Siamese twins...
I just can't be down without her coming
down. I can't be depressed, sad, or even
angry without affecting her. So it kind of
worked in a positive way for me, because I
make the extra effort not to be that way
(laughs). You have a bad day, you look at

her and say to yourself, "1 can't be that
way." She's been the best thing that could
have possibly happened to me. She is just
a positive force that encourages me to
move forward.

How long have you been a single
mother?

Since one year after her birth. 1 lost my job
because they wanted me to return to work
in three months and I knew I wanted to
nurse her. It was a choice between going
back to work and being what I wanted to be
with her. So, 1 lost my job.
Do you ever feel you are overwhelmed?
Oh - yeah! (laughs) This has been the most
stressful semester. I am taking 15 credits,
on top of writing a thesis, on top of working
now.

How do you relax?
Huh?!? (laughs) I don't, I don't relax. I have
been studying a lot this semester. I just
think I'll be glad when it's over. So I just
keep smiling. On Saturdays, Mia and 1 just
go out... somewhere... usually a cultural
event. Saturday is our day. We try to shut
the world out. You know you got this and
that and this due, but I try to shut it off on
Saturdays.

What are your future plans?
I hope to work at the Smithsonian, I want
to write. 1 also want to teach multi-cultural
history to high school students. . . get mar-
ried, get a house, have another child, live
long and prosper. Being a single mother
and a student is difficult but it is doable. This
is what I want. If I was not fulfilling myself
personally, I wouldn't be the kind of mother
I want to be. I have to be continuously
fulfilling myself, and if 1 fulfil myself I will be
fulfilling her.

Edie Anderson, a sophon}ore ps\;-
chologi; major of Kenningston,
Mar[;land, is not i;our average ev-
eryday student. This 58 year-old
woman is a full-time student, prop-
erty manager, and a grandmother.
This might not be that unusual,
except her 17-month old grand-
daughter, Lauren Lackey, goes to
college with her.

Why did you decide to baby-sit
your granddaughter while you
attended UMCP?
I think children need a sense of
"real" family. I am a very family-
oriented person and I believe that
families should be involved with their
children. I can't do anything else but
live what I believe in. I was blessed
with this beautiful grandchild after I
started college. It just never oc-
curred to me that I couldn't do this.
What was your family's reac-
tion to taking Lauren to col-
lege?

Everyone has been extremely sup-
portive. I think they keep wonder-
ing "how can she do this?" But once
they saw that it worked, they're
there to help me out.
How did the professors react to

having Lauren in class?

Everyone at the university has been
positive. I have talked to each of my
professors when I registered. 1 ask
them if there would be a problem if
I bring my granddaughter to class.
Most of them said let's try it. I had
one professor that was a little appre-
hensive at first, but in the end she
found it wasn't a problem.
What are your fellow classmates
reactions to having Lauren in
class?
They all love her. She another
member of the class, [laughed] And
when Lauren isn't there they say,
"Where's Lauren?" or "Where's your
other half?" She is a happy child
and her happiness and smile en-
riches everyone else. It puts a smile
on their faces.

Does Lauren like going to class?
Lauren loves the people. One young
man taught her to "High-Five" when
she was just six-months old, and she
still does it.

What are some of the difficul-
ties about going to class and
baby-sitting at the same time?
I think the hardest thing is schedul-
ing a whole day through ahead of

time. Scheduling the feeding and
naptime in coordination with class
time is difficult. That was the chal-
lenge.

What are some of the benefits
of baby-sitting and going to
class?

Lauren has her family and a sense of
who her family is. The joy I receive
being part of raising my grandchild
and having a relationship with her is
immeasurable.
How are your grades?
I think I am going pretty well under
the circumstances. I have a 3.30
GPA and I am happy with that. I
think it will get me into grad school,
as long as I can maintain it or do
better.

Any advice?

If it's something you want to do,
then do it if you can find a way.
Don't be discouraged. I think that in
all honesty if you are going to bring
a child to school, you have to first
look at the personality of the child.
If you have a child that is distressed
alot, that would not work. But if you
have a placid child that is happy in
the surroundings, then there is no
reason not to do it. Don't be afraid.

FRIENDS FOREVER'.

Clair Hickerson and Julie
Nefferdorf, are both freshmar),
both Broadcast Jourr^aUsm ma-
jors, both attended the same high
school, both took all the same
classes for two years in high school,
both taking all the same classes at
UMCP, both worked together, and
both live together.
How long have you known each
other?

We've known each other from ninth
grade in high school, but we didn't
become best friends until two years
later.

How did you become best
friends?

Our junior year we has all the same
classes. We spent a lot of time
together doing our homework and
writing papers. So our senior year
we planned taking all the same
classes together.

Are you taking all the same
classes at UMCP?
Every single class. We work to-
gether now and we worked together
then. We worked at Chuck-E-Cheese
[laughed] and that was an experi-
ence. But now we are working
together, and of course we live to-

gether, we have all the same classes
and the same major. The only thing
didn't is we pledged different houses.
It doesn't matter that we aren't in
the same house because we have
friends in both houses. It kind of
worked out better... and our houses
are right next to each other. I think
its better to have a little bit of time
apart to do our own thing, instead of
being together all the time. We have
had a couple of bad fights. Last
week we had a fight and didn't speak
for week. We are really mature
when we have a fight~we will work
it out.

Having heard roommate hor-
ror stories, do you plan to stay
together?

Next year we are going to live in
each of our sorority houses. Then
our junior year we are going to live
together in a apartment with a bunch
of friends.

Why do you think you two are
such good friends?

I think that I became close to Clair
because she taught me so much.
When I first came to high school, I
was totally different from what I am

now. I use to get into a lot of trouble

and Clair and her family turned me
around and showed me what I was
doing wrong. We have so much in
common. We have our differences
too, but that adds a little spice to our
relationship.

Are both of your families close?
Yes. Her mother became more
upset when we were fighting than
we did. She knows how important
it for us to remain friends. It's like a
second family.

What are the benefits of having
this type of relationship?
We help each other with our school
work a lot. Since we're taking the
same classes, we both have a paper
due Tuesday, so we are both up to 4
AM typing our papers. It really
helps scholastically, plus when I have
problems she gives me a fresh per-
spective.

What are your future plans?
We don't know right now, but in
high school our teachers would say
that we would have a double wed-
ding, that we would live together
forever. But it's just like when we
rushed, it depends on how we feel.
We might go our separate ways, but
we will always be friends.

With the advent of the changing colors of the leaves and the cooler
temperatures came, for most, the approaching awareness of the holiday
season. Halloween was the first holiday to start the ball rolling toward the end
of the year and a new semester.

The crisp fall weather and the pumpkin patches that sprung up everywhere,
reminded many of us of an exciting time - a time to dress up in your favorite
scary or glamourous costume and a time to party 'til the sun rises. It was also
a time to buy all those tempting sweets and gain ten pounds.

Many students participated in various events and activities to celebrate
another witchy Halloween. Senior Matthew Goodman, an environmental
biology major, attended a pumpkin-carving party. "It's a way for friends to
get together and celebrate Halloween. This is our third year, and the party's
gotten better each time," Goodman said. Besides other festive events,
various clubs and organizations arranged parties to celebrate the holiday.

With the ending of Halloween, all returned to normal. We knew what that
meant - dragging ourselves to classes and fretting over all that homework that
was avoided for some fun. So we finished all that homework and got to all
those classes, while in the back of our minds, the clock ticked down to another
holiday and the end of the semester.

ITS NOT JUST A

CONDOM

PA LAC E

The Health Center - where you
found out you had mono, picked up
condoms for Spring Break, got im-
munized and waited for hours won-
dering if the flu could be fatal. Al-
though visits to the Health Center
were not always happy occasions, it
was one of the best parts of attending
a large university. Our Health Center
was a fully accredited ambulatory
health care clinic offering a wide vari-
ety of services for students. The
Health Center was also there for stu-
dents by providing extensive health
education services. Mary Hoban, of
the Sexual Health Education depart-
ment said, "My concern is that people
never set foot in the Health Center,
Tm not sick' they say, well you don't
have to be sick."

For the healthy individuals, the
Health Center offered volunteer and
educational services. Student volun-
teers worked in the lab, for the Walk-
in Clinic, women's health, the phar-
macy and the dental clinic. There
were numerous student peer educa-
tion groups such asS.H.A.R.E. (Sexual
Health and Reproductive Education),
HOPE (Help Outreach Peer Educa-
tion), SHAC (Student Health Advi-
sory Committee) and the Caring Coa-

lition, who supported alcohol free
programming. Students could go to
the Health Center to learn CPR or to
get help quitting smoking. The Men-
tal Health Department provided sup-
port groups and counseling. The
Health Center was always a good
place to find reading material - "Facts
on Herpes" or "HPV (Genital Warts)
What's That?"

The Health Center was committed
to prevention. Before every Spring
Break volunteers distributed bags with
sunblock, condoms and information
about alcohol. During Health Fairs,
students learned on models how to do
breast self exams. Student groups
visited dorms and meeting to educate
about rape, alcohol abuse and the
dangers of stress. Mary Hoban noted
an important goal was, "Keeping
people well."

Dr. Margaret Bridwell, director of
the Health Center, maintained the
quality services of the center. The
Health Center included an Allergy
Clinic, Anonymous HIV testing, a
Dental Clinic, an International Travel
Clinic, Men's and Women's Health
Clinic, a Mental Health Clinic and
even massage. Students could come
and get care for often reduced cost.

All services were confidential, a family
member could not find out if a bill that
they paid was actually for a year's
supply of birth control pills and not
knee X-rays like you told them.

The Health Center was also provid-
ing 'up to date' care. They were
among the first local distributors of
the female condom. NorplantiM was
available, as well as the injectable
contraceptive Depo-ProveraiM and the
emergency contraceptive pill. HIV
testing was anonymous instead of
confidential. Staff were committed to
making current advancements avail-
able to students.

Although most of the students com-
plained about the waiting and out of
date magazines, the Health Center
was a great resource. It was there for
the students at the eleventh hour,
when the paper was due but the
pneumonia struck you down. It was
there when you had a splitting head-
ache but no cash to buy ExcederiniM.
For those students who volunteered,
the Health Center was a great re-
sume' builder. Hopefully, the practi-
tioners and staff understood how we
all depended on them.

FIRE SERVICE DORMITORY

When thinking about college life
there were a lot of images that came
to mind. Many students spent their
time at the University of Maryland
doing typical college things. There
was one aspect of Student Life at
Maryland, however, that went well
beyond typical.

There was a group of students who
risked their lives merely because they
wanted to help others. Those stu-
dents were members of the College
Park Volunteer Fire Department and
were volunteer firefighters and Emer-
gency Medical Technicians.

Twenty-four of those students re-
sided in the Fire Service Dormitory in
the College Park Fire Station. The
tradition of the of the Fire Service
Dormitory, known by its members as
the sackroom, dated back decades.
The twenty-four members were
trained in fire and emergency medical
responce; they were firefighters and
Emergency Medical Technicians.

The College Park Volunteer Fire
Department was a part of the Prince
George's County Fire Department;
the county in which the University
was located. The firehouse, itself,
was part of the University of Mary-
land.

The sackroom members, in ex-
change for free room, were given shift
nights. The shift nights were every
other night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.,
Sunday through Thursday. Those on
shift were responsible for responding
to eueri; call that came out for the

station. The responsibility they took
on was tremendous.

No matter if it was 11:15 p.m., or
5:23a. m.-ifacall came out then they
went.

The professionalism that these vol-
unteers possessed was evident in the
way that they handled themselves in
all aspects of community service.

The living situation that existed in
the sackroom this year was very
unique. Living together was one
thing, but risking lives together was
another.

ATTACK OF THE

The tacos were coming, the tacos
were coming. Then, the tacos were
here. Four, count them four Taco
Bells within a two mile radius of the
College Park campus.

What, you may have asked, drew
the fast food outlet so near to cam-
pus? Maybe, it was the college stu-
dents historic lack of money. Or,
maybe it was the answer to the con-
stant quest for junk food. Whatever
the reason, the Taco Bells were here
and business was booming.

The first Taco Bell to appear in the
area was located in the A. James
Clark School of Engineering and has
been in business since the fall of 1 993 .
According to its manager Rob
Beckman, business was good. "It
hasn't gone down since the begin-

ning," he added.

As a result of the success of the first
Taco Bell licensed to the University of
Maryland , another one was opened in
the Stamp Student Union. Cathy
Wiley, a senior advertising major was
at that opening. "1 love Taco Bell,"
she said. "It's cheap and I love Mexi-
can food." She was, however, sur-
prised by the number of Taco Bells
that had appeared in a years time.

The final two restaurants were lo-
cated on Route 1 . Willie Williams was
the manager of the Taco Bell located
in the 8400 block of Baltimore Av-
enue. He felt that being near campus
had "helped [business] out tremen-
dously. Most of our business is Uni-
versity of Maryland."

THE EVER-CHANCINC FACE OF COLLEGE PARK

The summer of 1994 brought a
number of changes to the College
Park campus. Many new construc-
tion projects were started throughout
the summer that continued through
the year. Some of these projects were
part of the beautification and expan-
sion of the university, but one was
not.

On July 18, at 2:48 in the morning
the popular College Park hang out.
Planet X, fell victim to a three alarm
fire which destroyed the restaurant
and the entire building. Students
from the College Park Volunteer Fire
Department played a major role in
stopping the fire from spreading to
the neighboring buildings. As a result
of their efforts, no other businesses
were damaged.

In the following days, Planet X
began the long road to recovery. As
two projected opening days passed
those who frequented the coffee shop
continued the weekly poetry readings
across the street from the rubble.
Finally, after four months of construc-
tion. Planet X reopened its doors on
October 31 when it hosted a Hallow-
een jazz-fest.

As students and visitors traveled
north on Route 1 past Planet X they
soon encountered a great deal of
construction and congestion at the
intersection of Route 1 and Campus
Drive. There workers expanded and
rebuilt the historic North Gate. In an
effort to preserve history but to also

make necessary changes to
accomodate new roads and increased
traffic, the campus architects incor-
porated the old guard booth into the
new structure. Although the North
Gate was completed in late fall, the
new road, Paint Branch Parkway, did
not open until later. This new road
connected Route 1 to Kennilworth
Avenue by going under the new Metro
tracks.

Focusing on another mode of trans-
portation, the feet, the University of
Maryland track team finally found a
place of their own. The new track and
field facility, located just behind Lot 1 ,
was being built to host a myriad of fall
and spring sports.

As the University of Maryland ex-
panded to become a top university.

more and more facilities were being
built. This year construction began
on two new buildings on campus.
Located behind Hornbake Library,
the Plant Sciences building was being
built to house the Botany Department
as well as many other facilities. In
addition, the Computer Science De-
partment expanded its facilities by
adding a completely new building onto
the present structure, which doubled
its size. This new facility gave the
department much needed space to
expand to fit the high demands of the
students.

Although construction always
seemed to be an inconvenience, each
new facility helped make the Univer-
sity of Maryland at College Park be-
come an institution for the future.

Maryland Theater performed Noel
Coward's Blithe Spirit this past
October 27-30 and November 3-5.
Although the cast was only 7 people
small, there was a behind-the-scenes
force of about 25 additional under-
graduate theater students, and nu-
merous professors, graduate stu-
dents, and instructors. The players
rehearsed for six hours a day, six
days a week, for six weeks. But, that
commitment was not furnished for
the two weeks in which the show ran
at Tawes Theater! And those hours
did not apply to everyone. Graduate
assistant to the costume shop, Andre
Harrington, was required to spend
20 hours a week for a month prepar-
ing for Blithe Spirit, but says it

was much more than just that. The
costumes were finished only two
days before opening night. As soon
as the costume shop finished that
production, it commenced work on
the next production's costume and
makeup design.

No cast or crew member said that
the time involved was easy. Shift
crew member freshman Deborah
Leipzig said, "You can see the effect
in my laundry bag." It is universally
understood, as sophomore theater
major Sheilynn Wactor said that,
"when you are in a show you have
no life." Most everyone realized that
the department became a person's
social life. As Senior Kanchan
Mattoo said, "You get to know lots
of people because the department is
so small."

Senior Kanchan Mattoo's official
job was master electrician but joked
that his unofficial job was to annoy
people. His duties required him to
be in the catwalks 60 feet above the
theater. He said, "You aren't afraid
of heights until you look down. It is
like an LSD trip, your eyes bug and
expand. It is an exhilarating adrena-
line rush. I am scared, but I love
every minute." He and assistant
Alex Cooper facetiously described
back stage as, "like working in a
Turkish prison. It is filthy, sick,
tiring, and you are in constant pain.
But. we love it!"

'JK i

Below the stage in the makeup
room one could melt under the lights
if they remained too long. Makeup
people, costume people and the ac-
tors and actresses all bustle around in
the hour or more before the curtain
goes up. Students called dressers are
there to help with zippers, pins, and
makeup. Actress Michelle Haber
declared, "They are indispensable!"

To describe the exhilaration expe-
rienced when on stage Senior theater
major Kila Burton said, "I've never
done drugs or anything so I wouldn't
know about a buzz, but I don't care
because it can't be anything like loos-
ing control on stage. " Senior theater
major Melissa Mascara, who admit-
ted that her real name is a convenient
stage one, said that "watching every-
thing we learned in class in action is
great. Getting up on stage and apply-
ing it is the best reward because you
realize that you are actually learning
something."

The preparation for a show like
Blithe Spirit was far from glamorous.
During one of the dress rehearsals for
Blithe Spirit the sound did not work
when the phonograph was supposed
to be playing. Everyone had to stand
around for fifteen minutes while the
problem was fixed. During such lulls,

which were more frequent than not,
stage hands, technicians, the students
on stage and the directors occupied
themselves with morbid, or appropri-
ately masochistic decapitation jokes.
Or, they used the time to make con-
structive comments and compliments,
not to forget the chicken imperson-
ations.

The overall atmosphere was that
of a big family that thrived on and
off campus. The result was a
fulfilling creative and productive life
for theater majors and for the
audiences who reaped the fruits of
their labors.

THE PRICE OF BEAUTY

TATTOOS ANP BODY PIERCINC AT MARYLAND

Tattooing and body piercing had
come a long way from the days
when tattoos were reserved for
sailors and body piercing meant
earrings on females. These days
anyone could get a tattoo or ear-
ring on just about any part of the
body. Read on and find out the
answers to the most commonly
asked questions about tattooing and
body piercing from Maryland's own
tattooed and body pierced students.
WHAT SHOULD I GET

AND WHY?
How about Chinese writing?
That's what junior dietetics major
Gary Lin had on his upper left
shoulder blade . " It means strength .
I'm into weight lifting so whenever
I look at it, it reminds me of
perservering."

Or maybe a tribal lions head like
sophomore fine arts major Kip
Miller. 'Tm an artist and I worked
on that drawing for a long time.
The lion means a lot to me for
biblical reasons."

Sabriya Wyatt, a junior English
major had three tattoos and a naval

ring. "The first tattoo, a black rose, I
did because I wanted to be different.
The second was my sister's name in
Arabic on my ankle . " Her final tattoo
was a crescent and star on her bikini
line which tied into her Islamic faith.
"I got my belly button pierced because
I refused to get any more tattoos," she
said.

"I have a purple panther on my left
inner ankle and an intertwined rose
and heart on my left collar bone," said
Therese Gordon, a senior civil engi-
neering major. "I got the panther
because I like the animal, it's smooth,
suave and elegant."

BUT WON'T IT HURT?
Contrary to popular belief, tattoos
did not hurt any more than a bee sting
unless the needle hits a bone.

"At first, you're kind of scared,"
said Lin. "But, when you get [tat-
tooed] it's just kind of an irritating
feeling."

"The belly button ring didn't hurt as
much as the tattoo," said Billie Jo
Syder, a sophomore, pre-physical
therapy major. "It was over in about
five minutes."

"The one on my back did not really
hurt. But, the one on my bikini line
was excruciating pain," said Wyatt.

Speaking of bikini lines, Joy Smith,
a sophomore biology major, agreed
that getting a rose tattoo on hers was
extremely painful and added that after
it's over, you forget the pain.
WHAT WILL PEOPLE
THINK?

For Lin, the reaction is usually posi-
tive. "People usually say it looks nice
or ask what it means."

"The one on my ankle gets a lot of
attention," said Wyatt. People think
it's really special that I have my sisters
name tattooed there."

"At first people do a double take.
The men like it a lot but, women like
it too. They're usually like 'Oh my
god, that's a good idea,'" said Smith.

"The first reaction I usually get is
'Oh that's so pretty, did it hurt?', but
then, I've had people tell me 'You're
going straight to hell, you have the
mark of the devil on you," said Gor-
don.

EXPOSING THE WINNER IN EVERYONE
EDITED BY GINA DUGAN

What makes a winner? Is it determined by the scoreboard, or
by the number of great plays? Or is being a winner determined
by the desire to play well, the grit and hard work put into the
game, and the sheer effort put in? At Maryland, the answer to
this question is "all of the above."

Many teams saw triumphant victories this year. The men's
basketball team went all the way to the NCAA "Sweet 16."
Women's lacrosse players beat a path of glory to the semifinals.
The field hockey team had an awesome season.

And some teams struggled. The Terrapin football team was
still young and working to prove themselves. The baseball team
lost over half their games. Yet, what the scoreboard would never
show is the individuals who worked every day, pumping iron,
running laps, and going over and over plays until they could
hardly move... this made them winners, even though the final
statistics may not have said so.

Fans were often the toughest critics, while at the same time
being the wildest supporters. This year, through all the Terrapins'
trials and triumphs, fans watched as our athletes exposed the
winner in everyone.

SWEET IT l$!

Two seasons after a 5-year NCAA
probation, Terp Basketball was again a
factor in the national equation...

For everyone associated with the
University of Maryland Men's Basket-
ball Team, this was a season to cherish
as four years of hard work and positive
attitudes paid off for head coach Gary
Williams and his troops on the court.
For all the loyal fans of the University
of Maryland men's basketball team, this
was a season to remember as the
Terrapins returned to their glory days
with a Sweet 16 success in the NCAA
tournament.

"This season was a culmination of
four years of hard work and going
through some difficulties," Gary Will-
iams proudly exclaimed. "1 hope
everyone has a great feeling about our
basketball team and our school after
achieving the Round of 16. It gives us
great pride going into this [1994-95]
season and we are looking forward to
continued success during the year."

The Terrapin starting lineup was one
of the most explosive and exciting in
recent memory. As point guard Duane
Simpkins directed this powerful offense
of three sophomores and two freshman
to an 8-8 record in the ACC and in the
process registered 11.8 points and 4.5
assists per game. His backcourt mate
Johnny Rhodes racked up 12.5 points
and 6.8 rebounds per game as his size
was frequently used on the inside to
post up smaller opponents. Freshman
Keith Booth had a very productive year
with 10.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per
game. Returning sophomore Exree
Hipp amassed 13.3 points per game
with the help of numerous backdoor
and breakaway slam dunks throughout
the season. National Freshman of the
Year Joe Smith rounded out the
starting five averaging a double double
with 19.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, and
3.1 blocks per game.

Together this group of 12 players

returned Maryland basketball to promi-
nence. The victories achieved in the
NCAA Tournament along with the
youth of our starting lineup, three
sophomores and two freshmen, have
an entire nation wondering how good
this team can get. Going into the
1994-95 season, the Maryland Terra-
pins were nationally ranked in every
preseason poll and once again were
ready for March Madness.

How can words express Joe Smith's
contribution to the University of Maryland
off the basketball court? They can't, but
maybe this example can help everyone
understand. Joe Smith attended a dance
on LaPlata Beach the day after the basket-
ball team returned from its exhibition trip
to France during the 1994 fall semester.
As soon as the student body recognized
this young man as the National Freshman
of the Year, a crowd of anxious faces and
eager questions surrounded him. But,
with a special charm and patience, Joe
Smith answered every question, as friendly
to the last man as he was to the first. His
personality and charm radiated through
LaPlata Beach that day as every student
realized how special of a person he really
was.

When the University of Maryland re-
ceived the enrollment confirmation of a
certain young man by the name of Joe
Smith one year ago, everyone believed
they were getting a fine basketball player.
They were half right. As graceful and
talented as Joe Smith is on the court, he is
equally charming and kindhearted off it.
Joe Smith is not only a great basketball
player, he is also a warm individual with a
winning personality.

ALWAYS A
WINNER

There are only three things in life
you can always count on: death,
taxes, and the University of Mary-
land Women's Basketball Team
being a winning program. As if it
were written in stone, the Lady
Terrapins once again completed a
successful season with a winning
record of 15-13 with a solid mark
of 8-8 in the ACC. Consistency
and a proud tradition have become
the standard for head coach Chris
Weller and her players on the
court.

"Our team finished 4th in the
ACC after reaching the semifinals
of the conference tournament,"
coach Weller explained, "even
though we went through some
difficult circumstances and some

A season record of 0-4 to the
untrained eye looks like a disappoint-
ing season of loss. In the case of the
Gymnastics team, that eye turns out
to be untrained indeed.

As a team they were unable to
bring home first place trophies, but
clinched a solid second at their tour-
nament against UNC, UMASS, UVM
and Northeastern.

One of the most impressive quali-
ties of this young team ( 1 2 of 1 6 were
freshmen or sophomores) was their
academic performance. They were
ranked 13th academically in the
NCAA for women's gymnastics, with
Kara Klaus, Nicole Lefcourt, and Lisa
Ruderman making the dean's list.

The team was also strong on the
individual level. Nicole Lefcourt was
named USA Gymnastics National
Collegiate Championships Outstand-
ing Senior Athlete, as well as being
named an All American along with
sophomore teammate Kara Klaus.

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT

Tears shed over an unsuccessful National
Title defense in May of 1993 were scarcely
dry when thoughts of the tremendously suc-
cessful "94 season began to fornn in the hearts
and minds of the Terrapin Women's Lacrosse
team. While the off-season was a long one,
the Terps were not idle. A fresh new face was
added to the coaching staff.

Head Coach Cindy Timchal sought out
Gary Gait, a legendary figure in the sport of
lacrosse. Gait, a member of three consecutive
NCAA Championship lacrosse teams and
holder of several NCAA tournament records,
was working in the private sector when he
received the call from Timchal. "1 thought
coaching women's lacrosse would be a unique
challenge," said Gait. Sophomore center and
All-American Kelly Amonte described the
Terps' new assistant coach as "...unbeliev-
able. He brought a new aspect of the game
that 1 had never seen before. ''

'■ Our goal is always to be in a position to vie
for the [National] title," said Timchal. Taking
those words to heart, a Terrapin squad, pre-
viously known for spotting opponents an early
lead, shook off that reputation and stormed to
a perfect 11 and 0 regular season, a number
one national ranking and a fifth consecutive
NCAA Tournament appearance.

Along the road to he National Champion-
ship game, while out-scoring their opponents
183 to 65. the Terps won several impressive
victories. Then No. 1 Virginia fell to the
Terps. 5 to 1. early in the season. The
defending World Champion United States
Lacrosse Team lost to the Terps in a close 7
to 5 contest. The only match where a
Maryland win was ever really in doubt was
a narrow 12 to 10 victory over No. 2
Princeton.

The momentum gained during a flaw-
less regular season seemed to follow the
Terps into the NCAA Tournament where
they stunned fourth ranked Loyola College.

19 to 4, in the semi-final game. "We did
everything right. We came together and
everything went our way." said All-American
Senior Forward Betsy Elder.

Sadly, that Saturday victory was to mark
the end of the Terrapin's dream season. On
Sunday the Terps fell to the Princeton Tigers
in the national championship game, 10 to 7,
at Byrd Stadium. Coach Timchal believed
that "...not being as challenged" during the
regular season wound up hurting the Terps in
the end.

While the loss in the championship game
was a tough one, the Terps did not finish the
season on a down note. Four Terps - seniors
Betsy Elder and Patty Parichy, junior Laura
Harmon and sophomore Kelly Amonte -
were named as selections to the NCAA All-
Tournament team. That was just the begin-

ning of the post-season honors. Six Terps
werenamedAO-Americans: Elder and Hamaon
(first team); Parichy and Amonte (second
team): Maureen Scott and Amy Zink (third
team). Betsy Elder and fellow senior Theresa
Ingram were named Academic All-Ameri-
cans. Elder was also named the National
Offensive Player of the "Year.

Despite a heartbreaking end to the "94
season, and facing what Coach Timchal de-
scribed as "the toughest schedule in the coun-
try." the Terps looked forward to next season.
"Others will underestimate us, but they will be
surprised by the people who will step in. " said
Amonte. She was confident that the Terps
would "win at least one National Champion-
ship" before she graduated. Sounds like a
safe bet.

TERRAPINS ON THt RUN

New track, new standard of excellence

The 1994 Men's Outdoor Track and Field team expected
great things from their spring season and significantly im-
proved their performaces from the year before. Individual
bests included many top ten finishes in the 3000 meter
steeplechase by Brian Montgomery and top three perfor-
mances in the 100 and 200 meter dash by Vernon Boyd and
Mike Depry. The squad was led in the hammer throw, shot
put. and discus by Ed Condon while Mike Starks showed very
strong performances and top-five results in the long, high and
triple jump. With the building of the new track in the upcom-
ing years these individual performances and outstanding team
results should become very frequent for the team in the
future.

This season was a big improvement over the year before,"
Brian Montgomery proudly exclaimed. "The success we had
this year is going to define what's to come in the next few
years as we keep getting better. Our new track is going to
help recruiting and this should keep the great performances
and results we achieved this season around for several years.
For spring 1995 we expect even better talent and perfor-
mances as we keep up the standard we set this year."

Coming off its niost successful season in years, the Maryland Golf
Team built a winning program and set a standard of excellence for the
Terrapin squads of the future: Maryland qualified for the NCAA East
Regional Golf Tournament. A three-day showing of 928 (315-303-303)
put them alone in 16th place in the field of the 23 best teams in the
region.

"This is the best a Maryland team has done in years." said Tommy
Mensing from Richmond, Va. "We made it to the NCAA East Regionals.
The team had a good time together on road trips, but we also knew when
to get serious and we were proud of what we accomplished. Maryland is
back and we have built a good program that is on its way up. This win-
ning standard will remain for the team in Spring 1995 and all those to
follow."

Head coach Tom Hanna was named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach

of the Year and guided his veteran squad to three top five finishes and

fifth in the ACC Championships. Senior Del Ponchock was also honored

during the season as an ACC All-Conference player for his consistency

and high finishes in all of Maryland's tournaments. These individual

awards achieved during the Spring 1994 season typified the success of a

winning program and illustrated the stellar year of our own Maryland golf

team.

GAIN RESPE CT

The 1994 Terrapins were 4-4 enter-
ing their final home contest against the
N.C. State Wolf pack. The makings of a
winning season, the makings of a bowl
season, and most importantly the resur-
gence of Maryland Football to promi-
nence all depended on the outcome of
one football game one Saturday evening.
It was November 5th, Coach Mark
Duffner and his two co-captains, seniors
Steve Ingram and Jamie Bragg, were in
the locker room prior to kickoff giving
the team a pep talk about the impor-
tance of winning three in a row, the
importance of a winning season, and
their overall team goal of reaching a
bowl game after the 1994 season.

About three hours later, after an of-
fensive explosion by both teams, the
scoreboard showed a six point lead for
the Wolfpack 44-38 well into the fourth
quarter. Maryland started with the ball
at its own 35 and quickly faced a fourth
down and one at the 44. Into the game
came the Terps' short yardage package,
Black Thunder, since the defense had
not slowed down N.C. State's offensive
attack. Freshman running back Buddy
Rodgers plowed forward two yards for
the crucial first down. Sparked on by
this emotional fourth down conversion,
the Terrapins marched 65 yards for the
touchdown as Scott Milanovich hit wide
receiver Mancel Johnson for a 12-yard
score for his fifth touchdown pass of the
game. The clock showed 2:19 remain-
ing; Maryland had a 45-44 lead over the
visiting Wolfpack. A winning season
was well within grasp and a bowl game
was still a distinct possibility, if only the
defense could keep State from scoring
on this final drive. But alas, the Terps
could not capitalize on two possible
interception opportunities during the
final two minutes and a 35-yard field
goal by the visitors sealed Maryland's
fate: 47-45. Heartbreak.

The locker room was silent. Every-
one had given their all and left their
hearts out on the field. It was a tough
loss to swallow, but there were no losers
on that day . " The N . C . State game was

the biggest game I've played since Ive
been here," senior long snapper and
tight end Corey Holobetz said. "We
played well and gave it everything we
had, we just didn't come out on top."

"It wasn't our work ethic, we just had
some bad breaks," said senior tight end
Kevin Woodeshick. "We worked hard
during the week, but then didn't always
show it on Saturdays."

Individual statistics for the 1994 sea-
son included 77 receptions for 891
yards and five touchdowns for true
sophomore wide receiver Geroy Simon,
who also scored on an electrifying 94-
yard reverse on a kickoff return against
N.C. State. Teammate Jermaine Lewis
contributed 45 receptions for 692 yards
and nine touchdowns. Kevin Foley and
Scott Milanovich both started for the
Terps, Foley finishing with 62 of 95
passing for 643 yards and three touch-

downs, while Milanovich ended the year !
with 229 of 333 passing for 2, 394 i
yards and 20 TD's. Kicker Joe O'Donnell
led all scorers with 60 points, connect-
ing on 9 of 10 field goal attempts, and
Ratcliff Thomas once again led the de-
fense with 140 tackles.

"We really improved a lot this year,
we worked hard during the off season
and had several young guys come in and
contribute for us, " added Holobetz, who
was named to the GTE Academic All-
America District II football team for his
3.468 GPA. "The defense should be
strong next year with many experienced
players returning to their current posi-
tions, and the offense has talented back-
ups that can step in next season and
perform well. This program is definitely
headed in the right direction."

EXPOSING THE
HEART

Field Hockey team faces difficult
year, still has winning season

When the final buzzer sounded, ending an early season one to nothing losss
to unranked Delaware, the defending National Champion Terrapins knew
just how hard a return trip to Final Four would be. "It was a real eye-opener,"
recalled Senior All-American sweeper Laura Harmon. "After defeating our
first three or four opponents, [the season] got difficult..."

The loss of eight of eleven starters was responsible for changing perennial
national powerhouse, into something it has rarely been; an unknown
quantity. "This is called a year of reloading, not rebuilding," stated Head
Coach Missy Meharg. "Leadership plays a role in success; this was a year of
developing leaders," she added.

Helping develop leaders was a new addition to the coaching staff. John
O'Haire, the goalkeeper for the U.S. Men's National Field Hockey Team,
joined the Terrapins and made an immediate impact. "John brings a different
perspective to goal keeping. He focuses on fundamentals, aggressiveness and
confidence," lauded senior Ali-American goalkeeper Irene Horvat.

Those same leaders helped the Terps snap a string of bad luck and finish
the season on a high note. "We had hope and more cinfodence going into
the last weeks," remembered junior back and member of the U.S. National
Women's Field Hockey Team, Katie Kauffman. "We were finally gelling as
a team." That invigorated team charged their way inbto the final game of the
ACC Tournament. Despite dropping a close match to eventual National
runner-up North Carolina, the Terps looked upon that game as a positive
experience. "Everything that we were trying to get from the players, we finall
ygot in the tournament," said Assistant Coach Michelle Brennan.

That display of potential was not missed by anyone when it came time to
award the post-season honors. Harmon, Horvat, Kauffman, and freshman
midfielder Christine DeBow were all selections to mthe All- ACC First Team.
Sophomore marking-back Tricia Burdt was also recognized for her outstand-
ing effort, being named to the Mid-Atlantic Region All-American Second
Team. The same starting four who received All- ACC honors were also
selected to the Mid- Atlantic Region's First Team of All- Americans. Addition-
ally, Harmon and Horvat finished their career by being named Third-Team
[National] All- Americans. Katie Kauffman also received additional recogni-
tion, being selected as a [National] First-Team All-American.

Reflecting on the pool of talented players who will form the nucleus of next
year's team, Meharg described them as "very young, but very strong."
Combine that statement with what Meharg described as a banner recruiting
year, and it would appear that another National Championship is not too far

in the team's future.

MEN'S SOCCER

Team shocks ACC with turnaround

Compatibility and chemistry among the men's soccer team led them to
an overall winning record of 14-6-1, and an ACC record of 3-3-0. accord-
ing to coach Sasho Cirovski.

Sophomore forward. Shane Dougherty led the Terps in goals with 17
for the season. He was also the third leading goal scorer in the ACC.

Captains Malcolm Gilian, a senior forward, and Tod Herskovitz, a junior
midfielder, added to Dougherty's success on the attack, and worked with a
strong back line and sophomore goalkeeper, Russell Payne, to produce a
triumphant season.

"Gilian not only provided great leadership off of the field, but he scored
many of our key goals," said Cirovski.

"This was a great season," he said. "We had a big turn around in the
ACC, and the only people that weren't surprised were the players and

coaches."

dedication of the team, according to head coach April Heinrichs, who
finished her fourth season at Maryland.

Despite an overall record of 7-10-3, and an Atlantic Coast Conference
record of 1-4-1, the team was optimistic towards the season.

"Our record does not show how we played as a team," Heinrichs said.
"Towards the end of the season we had close matches with top ACC
teams such as Virginia and George Mason, which we had not been able to

do (before)."

Senior forward Randi Goldblatt led the Terps on the attack with eight
goals, followed by freshman forward Carol Finch, with seven.

Goalkeeper Missy Price, a sophomore, had 106 saves for the season.

"We had some great wins, heartbreaking losses and a tough season in

1994," Heinrichs summarized.

The Terrapin volleyball team had a
winning 1994 season. Under the direc-
tion of two-time National Coach of the
Year Janice Kruger, they improved their
ACC record to 8-6 with an overall record
of 18-13.

Four starters, including captains Kelly
Malkins and Sherry Smith who led the
team in attack, returned this season to
take a fourth place finish in the ACC.

"I felt that this was a good year for
Maryland volleyball. We were right on
the fringe of off-season play, and we
secured a record of 18-13 with a fresh-
man setting . . . every match , " said Kruger .

"With just one more win 1 think we
would have been in the ACC Tourna-
ment," she added.

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

The University of Maryland Cross Country Team finished the 1994 season with the ACC Championships in
Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, October 28. As expected and predicted the Terrapins placed eighth in the ACC's
with individual bright spots coming from junior Brian Montgomery, who finished 15th, just five places away from
being named to the All-ACC team, and Jon Sushinsky, who was 34th. The men's squad had some strong results
during the year, especially a first and third place finish in two of their own tournaments, the Maryland Open and
the Maryland Colleges Invitational, respectively.

"We did as well as was expected, but not as well as we had hoped," explained sophomore Kevin Cody when
asked about the success during the season. "We had a young team for one thing, and some key injuries also hurt
us during the year."

Two individuals from the men's cross country team traveled to the NCAA District III Cross Country Champion-
ships for their performances and good results throughout the season. Brian Montgomery and Jon Sushinsky
were the two athletes to represent the University of Maryland as individual performers at the District Champion-
ships.

"We are consistently moving up and improving, now it is just a question of how fast. The new track that is
being built on campus will significantly help recruiting and this will keep Maryland Cross Country on the rise."

WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY!

The Women's Cross Country Team
had a challenging season. They fin-
ished in eighth, but were able to move
up to seventh in the ACC after the
ACC Championships.

There were some individual bright
spots on the team. Senior Paula
LaVorgna finished 20th in 1 8 : 38 , just
two seconds behind here season's
personal best, which she achieved at
the Maryland Invitational. Sopho-
more Kerrie Bowes ended in 34th
place overall with a time of 19:10.
Both LaVorgna and Bowes also were
able to travel to the NCAA National
Championships.

"Here we go Maryland, Here We Go!"
The concrete floor trembles as the 14, 500
screaming Terp fans speak with one voice.
At the center of this emotional Maelstrom
are a number of the most energetic Terp
fans you'll ever see; the Cheerleaders.
"We're here to provide atmosphere, get
the crowd going, and [maintain] the level of
excitement throughout the game," ex-
claimed team member Napoleon Martinez.
"The cheerleaders are here to lead the
crowd, not just in cheers, but to have a
good time while at the game," added fellow
team member Pat Taylor.

Lead the crowd they do. And why not?
Maryland Cheerleaders are among the very
best in the country. "[Maryland
Cheerleading] finished 8th overall when
they competed in Nationals this year in
Dallas," beamed cheerleading advisor Tina
Simijoski. But being the best these days
means needing more than just a pretty
face. "It takes strong athletic ability... and
a gymnastic background," added Simijoski.

Regrettably this close knit family, suf-
fered a loss this past summer with the
death of team member James "Big Daddy"
Simmons. "He had this uncanny ability to
get to know every single person on the
team. He was a father figure," Taylor said.

He will be remembered.

With a wave of a pom, and a cry of "Go Terps," the Maryland
Dance Team dazzled their way into the 1994-95 school year.
Enthusiasm came easily for the squad, which finished first in the
Home Routine Competition at the Universal Dance Association's
Camp this past summer. The win against national caliber oppo-
nents provided an added boost to a team already full of energy, and
focused on its mission. "We're there for the teams," exclaimed Lori
Heinkel, team captain. "We are here to provide entertainment,
school spirit and to be role models. We can only do that with the
support of the [entire campus community] . "

Not content to just perform at football and basketball games, this
group has higher goals. "As a team, [we want] to be recognized as
a sport at this University, " said Dance Team member Tiffani Frost.
Shooting for the top, that's the Terrapin spirit!

University of Maryland zvelcomes the first female athletic director in ACC history:

MEET DEBORAH YOW

The University of Maryland was
searching for a new athletic director
to fill the gap left by the departure
of Andy Geiger in April, 1994.
What they found was Deborah A.
Yow, the first female athletic
director in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. She comes from Saint
Louis University where she also
held the position of athletic director,
yet the Billikens did not field a
varsity football team. Yow traveled
halfway across the country to a
larger University in a more
prominent conference with a bigger
athletic department in order to help
cure a $6 million operating deficit
and straighten out and control the
much larger budget here at the
University of Maryland.

'7 was well prepared.
Coming in, I knew it

woidd be a very

challenging job , hut I

also knew that I had the

support of President

Kirwan, and I felt like I

was inheriting a good

staff/'

"I was well prepared," explained
an excited Yow about the changes
involved in switching universities.
"Coming in, I knew it would be a
very challenging job, but I also knew
that I had the support of President
Kirwan, and I felt like I was
inheriting a good staff. I knew it
would just be a matter of time
before we could get on track."

The new athletic director

"Af the present time, the
department is focused on

stabilizing financial

operations and balancing

the annual athletic

budget. We will then

begin to reduce the

accumulating operating

debt."

immediately announced that one of
her goals was balancing the budget
this fiscal year and then slowly
reducing the operating debt until
the current operating deficit was
gone eight to ten years from now.

"At the present time, the
department is focused on stabilizing
financial operations and balancing
the annual athletic budget. We will
then begin to reduce the
accumulated operating debt... and
focus our energy on significantly
increasing our fund raising efforts."

The graduation rate of student
athletes is also high on Yow's
priority list as she intends to match
or surpass her 92% student athlete
graduation rate she achieved during
her four-year tenure as athletic
director at Saint Louis University.

"Academically, our student
athletes currently graduate at a rate
equal to or higher than the general
student population. Our goal is to
reach a position in the top 20% of
Division I-A athletic programs in
terms of our graduation rate over
the next four years."

When asked why she chose the
University of Maryland at College
Park as the next step in her career,
Debbie Yow gave an eager and
detailed response.

"The University of Maryland is an
institution committed to the highest
standards of academic and athletic
performance. I came to the
University of Maryland because I
believe that the University of
Maryland's athletic program, having
weathered some difficult times, can
once again become one of the
nation's premier intercollegiate
athletic programs."

RESIDENT
LIFE

Exposing The Way Wc Live

Edited By Eileen de Guzman

What do red telephones, personal security codes, the dining
halls, Red Express, the meal plan, the UM shuttle, resident
assistants and lots and lots of people have in common? Give up?
These are only a few of the many different aspects of Resident Life
at the University of Maryland at College Park. Along with one's
own personal encounter at College Park, Resident Life played its
role as being a major part of the "College Experience."

The enrollment at UMCP was significantly higher than the
previous years. Housing on campus was an overwhelming 102%
full. This occurrence forced many incoming freshman to live in
triples. Although the campus had just opened Cumberland Hall,
home of the College Park Scholars Program, and Cambridge Hall,
an all singles coed dormitory, these additions were not sufficient to
adequately hold the influx of students at the university.

This year, the Department of Resident Life was not only a
department on campus but it acted as a channel for interaction and
preparation for the real worid in a community setting. It was a
channel that enabled students to openly and freely discover and
display themselves and EXPOSED THE WAY WE LIVE.

The summer was over and it was
time for residents from the Univer-
sity of Maryland to return to College
Park and MOVE IN. The first step
to the moving-in process began
with packing. This usually consisted
of an infinite number of boxes
loaded with clothes and books and
other personal items sorted in some
type of order. Sophomore Biology
major Sandra Adamako said, "I
think packing is annoying. 1 don't
like all of the moving on and off

campus stuff." When asked what
the hardest thing about packing was
she replied, "The hardest thing
about packing is trying to figure out
what to leave and what to bring to
school with you."

In front of many of the residence
halls were very long lines of cars
waiting to unload their contents.
The August summer heat added to
the frustration of the task. Many
people unloaded their things into a
big pile and left to find a parking

space while someone stood watch
over their belongings. Unloading
the car was just the beginning of the
long process.

As residents entered their respec-
tive residence halls they were met
by a registration table and a long
line to receive their the keys to their
rooms. The residents then had to
move all of their boxes and suit-
cases into the building and into their
rooms by way of the elevator or
stairs. The crowds of people anx-

iously awaited in front of the eleva-
tor doors and scurried to and fro as
the doors opened. Everyone from
the residents to the parents were
eager to get all of the luggage into
the rooms and go back home.

Eventually the job of moving-in
was completed and all of the lug-
gage somehow found themselves at
their place of destination. Residents
enjoyed their temporary sigh of
relief before they embarked on
another journey entitled, "Unpack-
ing." Residents may or may not
have received help in this area but
as for the moving-in process, that
was finished.

Many people were rather frus-
trated with the long and drawn out
process but others were not as
disappointed. "I was excited about
moving in. It was a new and excit-
ing experience, I was embarking on
a journey that would lead me
through the rest of my life," happily
replied Biology major Kenneth L.
Johnson Jr.

-Eileen de Guzman

I was happy to come
to college but I did not
like the moving-in expe-
rience. I didn't like it
because it was hot, it
was crowded, and a lot
of work."

Residents just could not leave behind all of the comforts of home when
moving onto campus. For many, comfort foremost meant style and a
room that looked livable. Transforming her cell block-walled, tiled floor
room in North Campus required much creative effort, but freshman
Alissa Fields was up to the task. "I decorated the room the way I want to
feel, and I want to feel comfortable.

The vases with flowers, framed pictures, and bright candles probably
made her feel more comfortable with its appearance than anything else.
Also, a notable touch were the white Christmas lights strung, out-of-
season, along the tops of the walls. Other residents owned trendy black
light bulbs, and quite a few lied in bed at night while gazing at a ceiling of
glow-in-the-dark stars.

Contact paper-crazy Tracy Lobel really did a number on her previously
bare surroundings. "I like to add color to my room. It makes me feel homey,"
she shared. She even papered her room's heater.

Residents added a number of other stylish touches to their personal
enclaves. Those lucky enough to have pipes winding across their ceiling
hung mobiles from them. Some residents proudly displayed their bottle
collections on their shelves. The fashion conscious lined the walls with Calvin
Klein tm and Guess tm magazine ads. For the most functional part of the room,
the bed of course, one student could not do without his Mighty Morphin
Power Rangers TM bedspread and matching sheets. No, living on campus just
would not have been acceptable if residents were not allowed some personal

comfort and style.

For one hundred twenty-one new
residents, the first fall semester at
Maryland started off "on the wrong
foot." Due to a shortage of available
rooms, 121 freshmen and transfer
students were placed into temporary
triple-doubles with 104 students still
waiting for housing.

The room shortage was caused by
a multitude of factors including a 14.5
percent increase in returning students,
a 13 percent increase in the number
of new students, and a 6 percent
decrease in the number of housing
cancellations. Having the largest fresh-
men class since 1988, did not help
the housing problem either.

But according to Resident Life Di-
rector Pat Mielke, "It was not a prob-
lem for Resident Life." Resident Life
had been prepared for the room short-
age as early as January. Having
temporary triple-doubles was not un-

usual at college campuses. The last
time Maryland resorted to this tactic
was in the fall of 1988, "having triple-
doubles was the only viable option"
said Mielke. "In the past students
waiting for housing were placed in the
lounges of residence halls. But this
made everyone in the hall suffer. "

Because assignments for rooms
were filled in the order they were
received, the students who filed their
forms last received the temporary as-
signments. Most of the students as-
signed to the triple-doubles filed their
forms after August 1, 1994. These
students and the permanent residents
of the temporary triples were notified
during the summer about their situa-
tion.

However, many students were up-
set and inconvenienced by the hous-
ing shortage. "It's ridiculous to have
three people living in a two-person

room," said Nancy Adde, a freshman
History major who gained an extra
temporary roommate.

The "temporary" triple-double was
only temporary if the number of stu-
dents who did not claim their room
assignment exceeded the number of
students waiting for assignments. This
was determined after the first two
weeks of classes. Any one remaining
in a triple-double received a discount
on their housing costs.

After the first two weeks of class,
Resident Life was able to assign all
121 residents into permanent hous-
ing on campus.

The Resident Life Director stated
that she hoped the shortage of hous-
ing would continue into the future.
"More students means a lower hous-
ing cost."

It was your first year on campus and you were finally "on your own." For many first year students, the transition
from living at home to living on campus was a big one. The absence of parents and siblings was one of the largest
transitions. Many first year students were full of expectations of college life, other were filled with the anxiety of making
new friends. Many of the freshmen students were housed in the traditional high-rise dormitories on the north side
of campus and some were placed in the area of campus known as North Hill. What did all of this mean? This meant
that most of the freshmen students shared their experiences together.

Mother's home cooked meals were quickly replaced with dining hall food, and those who once had their own
bathrooms now had to share a bathroom with over thirty others. Community living was the aspect that all freshmen
had to embrace, especially on a campus that was larger than many student's hometowns. This type of setting was
good for student's to foster relationships and make new friends. Social life was not the only thing that freshmen at
the University of Maryland were concerned about. Many people found themselves with another burden on their mind,

STUDYING.

"I never studied so much in high school. If I would have studied this much in high school, it would have been so
easy, " said Leslie Datcher, freshmen Family Studies major. Along with the reality of campus living many of the
freshmen were hit with the reality of college homework. Many freshmen students found places to study in their very
own residence halls but others found a comfortable place to study in the library. The freshmen experience consisted

of living and learning.

In the Spring semester of 1994,
five crimes were reported in the area
of the South Campus Basketball
courts, including a stabbing of an area
high school student. With the rise in
violence and the complaints of noise
from the residents living near the
basketball court area, the Department
of Resident Life and Campus Police
decided to remove the courts in the
South Campus and Leonardtown
communities. Where the courts were.
Resident Life planned to develop the
area into a park with benches and
umbrellas for people to meet under.

The decision to close the courts was
made by Resident Life Director Pat
Mielke and Campus Police Chief Ken
Krouse. Mielke stated that "too many
incidents occurred, (at the basketball
courts) and we could not control them . "
The only way to protect the residents
was to close the courts.

To decrease the demand for avail-

able courts, the Department of Resi-
dent Life and Resident Facilities ex-
tended the hours of court time at the
indoor basketball areas in both the
Armory and North Gym. However,
the decision to close the basketball
courts came with controversy.

Many students said that closing the
basketball courts would not stop the
crime. "I do not see how closing the
courts will prevent crime. If outsiders
come in looking for trouble, they will
find other places to do it," said Erika
Benns, senior Pre-med major.

With the start of the new fall semes-
ter, students organized rallies, peti-
tions and other forms of demonstra-
tion in order to protest against the
closing of the basketball courts. In
September 1994, residents from the
South Campus area held a midnight
rally in the empty court area to protest
the closing. In October, 66 percent of
the students who voted in the Student

Government Association elections,
voted Yes to have the basketball courts
reinstalled. This data and a petition
made by the Resident Halls Associa-
tion was presented to President
Kirwan.

In the meantime. Resident Life and
Campus Police were trying to keep
the students aware and the communi-
cation channels open. With violence
prevention programs and informa-
tion bulletins, the Campus Police and
Resident Life wanted to have all stu-
dents to be security conscious.

With the rise of crime in the areas
surrounding campus, it was impos-
sible to stop crime completely form
entering campus, said Pat Mielke.
Whether the removal of the basketball
courts would prevent crime could only
take time to tell.

The summer of 1994 was not the
most eventful summer of all times, but
it was a truly remarkable one for a
group of about 200 students who
chose an alternative route of summer
employment. These students decided
that nine months of being in College
Park had not been enough. They
were going to spend their summer
here as well. The University of Mary-
land offered many summertime posi-
tions through the offices of Resident
Facilities and Resident Life. Respec-
tively, 106 and 90 plus students
worked for each department.

During the summer months. Resi-
dent Facilities was responsible for re-
pairing the campus housing and get-
ting it ready for fall occupancy. Stu-
dents were able to apply for these
positions with the option of living in
Leonardtown for a reduced rate for

the duration of the working calendar.
Over 100 students took the opportu-
nity to make some money by helping
the campus. Positions were available
for Carpet and Tile, Furnishings, Main-
tenance and Paint Crew. The Paint
Crew had both day and night options.
Many students took advantage of
working the 3 P.M. to 11:30 P.M.
shift by taking summer classes at the
University during the day.

Sarah Carson, a sophomore Engi-
neering Major, remarked on her sum-
mer experience by saying, "Working
for the Day Crew on Paint was a
wacky, wild and fun experience. I got
to know a lot of crazy new people and
had a lot of fun . In the process, I made
this campus look better and I really
enjoyed it."

By being able to live on campus for
the summer with a bunch of other

students, a lot of friendships were
formed. Parties sprung up through-
out the summer for the Leonardtown
residents and on any given night one
could see people outside talking and
having a good time. Many students
honed their card playing skills and the
basketball courts were continuously
full.

The summer flew by but a great
deal of work was accomplished to
prepare the residence halls for the
Fall. The summer staff got to experi-
ence working in a different atmo-
sphere and gained valuable experi-
ence. And while all the work was
going on, there was always a sense of
enjoyment and fun underlying the
experience.

The category was campus life. Here was the question, "What is the university name for a resident whose name
has only two letters?" Can't figure it out? Well it's your local, friendly Resident Assistant for the Department of
Resident Life, a.k.a. RA. Many RA's, like Ty Long Nguyen of Ellicott Hall, would tell you, "that the position is more
than just free room and board. Being an RA has other privileges."

RA's had a large degree of influence upon the lives of students living on campus, often larger than any other figure.
Since RA's were both students and leaders, they had the opportunity to be amongst students and "get to know them
best," said second year, La Plata Hall RA, Peggy Loftus. The privilege came from being selected by Resident Life
to be the overseers of our units. Whether residents admitted to it or not, an RA was a necessary vessel to be used
by the residents when in need.

In 1994, the Department of Resident Life adopted the motto of creating an environment of "satisfied customers"
on the College Park campus. Despite the power hungry mentality some think RA's live in, the reality was that RA's
tried to remain "readily available" and "readily approachable" to help residents adjust to campus life. What made
this position so special was that each individual RA brought his or her own distinct qualities to their unit.

The RA position also consisted of many innovative program ideas, conflict mediations, incident reports, staff
meetings, and inservices which made up the position. "Ever since I've gotten the job it's changed my life. It's like
being best friends with 70 guys, " says Ellicott Hall RA Ty Nguyen. He also commented on how, as an RA, there
was a good support system amongst the employees of Resident Life. The employees were backed by a tremendous
quality of Resident Life staff.

But when it was all said and done, the RA's were the ones who lived, ate, and shared the same space with their
residents. If it was true that, "If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything," then RA's had a precious
responsibility on their hands. FiA's set the standards for their residents so, "If you follow your F^, you will be surprised

at how far they will take you."

Did you happen to notice a few
more people hanging around North
Campus this year? About 675 more?
That is the total number of residents
who occupied the reopened
Cumberland and Cambridge halls.

The Department of Resident Life
opened the doors to Cumberland and
Cambridge partly in response to the
nearly 1 ,000 more students, new and
returning, who requested campus
housing this year. This 12 and a half
percent increase was somewhat an-
ticipated by Resident Life, even though
the temporary "tripling" of students in
double rooms posed a bit of a snag.
Besides making room for the masses,
Cumberland and Cambridge Halls
were reopened with special situations
in mind.

Cumberland Hall served as the resi-
dential site for most of the partici-
pants in the new College Park Schol-
ars program, which had a "living/
learning" theme. The selling point of
this program was the opportunity for
students to live with others who shared
interest in the same field. Freshmen
and sophomores invited into the pro-
gram had the choice of living with the
same people in their cluster of related
classes, an academic component of
the Scholars program. Cluster, and
therefore areas of Cumberland, re-
volved around the academic themes
of International Studies, Life Sciences,
Art, and Science and Technology.

The Cumberland building itself was
altered to incorporate the lining/learn-
ing theme. Renovations of the first
floor included getting rid of bedrooms
and installing small classrooms, com-
puter facilities and a coloquia (over-
sized classroom). Offices for some
members of the faculty teaching

courses in the program were also
moved onto the first floor. Interna-
tional Studies Scholar Alicia Insley's
commented on the proximity of her
professors, "Its very convenient to
have them there; it's very beneficial."
She said, "I just think it's been a great
experience living with people that are
in my same classes and in the same
program as me." Nichole Schreiner,
also of International Studies, showed
appreciation of the hall's physical
improvements: "I like the new com-
puter lab. The dorm is nice and
there's nice furniture." The Life sci-
ences group, to fulfill the community
service requirement that all the Schol-
ars have, planned to make their own
addition to Cumberland, such as an
aquarium and a plant and herb ter-
rarium to be displayed there.

Unlike Cumberland, Cambridge
Hall did not undergo any special reno-
vation before Resident Life reopened
it this fall. It was still a traditional dorm
of co-ed singles, but with the main
purpose of placing transfer students
in the same area. Jan Davidson,
Assistant to the Director of Resident
Life explained, "Transfer students
often want to be with other transfer
students, and we try to accommodate
that." However, any resident could
request to live there. Both Cam-
bridge and Cumberland halls were
expected to remain open with the
anticipated growth to the Scholars
program and the increased demand
for campus housing.

The University of Maryland was fortunate to have a
service that allowed residents to call for major and minor
repairs to their rooms and apartments. Access to this
service was by way of dialing extension 4-WORK. Resi-
dents were able to dial this extension to report things that
needed to be repaired or replaced. The service was put to
use often by the residents at the University.

Reported incidents ranged from closets coming off-line,
broken light or burned out light fixtures, air conditioner
malfunctions, constantly flushing toilets, even insect prob-
lems. The reports called into 4-WORK were placed on a
priority list. The problem was tended to according to its
priority. Flushing toilets took priority over an off-line
closet door. Sometimes the list got long and the wait
inconvenienced many of the students. However, there
were a number of commendable responses from students.

"As for as I'm concerned, the service responded quickly
to me," replied Biology major Amy Thomas. She also
commented that when she had reported a problem about
flies in the building, the serviceman, "Checked up on us
frequently to see if the problem had been solved com-
pletely. He was really doing his job."

A common problem in many of the residence halls was
the lighting. One student called 4-WORK about a hallway
light and , "They responded within the hour," responded
sophomore Markeeda Guest. "It is good to have this
service," said Guest.

Although there were reports of timely encounters, that
was not always the case. "The servicemen were late. Iwas
on my way to class when they came to fix my closet. I had
to wait for them to finish before I left," replied sophomore
Electrical Engineering major Jonathon Rogers. "1 think 4-
WORK is a beneficial service to the campus. They could
make some improvements in order to meet the needs of
the students more quickly, but the service is greatly
appreciated," commented Rogers.

The service was not flawless, but the service done was

so much greater than the time spent waiting. "Like any

service on campus, it can be improved but it generally has

decent service, " responded Journalism major Imani Panton.

The service offered to students by dialing 4-WORK was a

life saver for many and was appreciated by all.

ACADEMICS

SKK-

EXPOSING THE FUTURE

EDITED BY DIMITRIS A. GERAGAS

Some of us never went to a football game and others never
experienced the Greek system or never joined a campus organi-
zation. Yet, regardless of the level of involvement in the so called
student life, we all had something in common-we were all
students and hopefully we were all going to graduate.

The students of this graduating class would one day be called
to play a vital role not only in this nation's but the whole world's
intellectual, scientific and economic life. The leaders, the scien-
tists, the thinkers of the future were being hatched now in this
institution and it was their academic education that supplied them
with the skills to properly play their upcoming roles. It enabled
them to expand their perception, to ask questions and find
answers, to synthesize and innovate. In short, it furnished them
with the ability to assume their station in this highly demanding
world.

The 1 1 colleges and departments of this campus fulfilled their
responsibility toward the students to provide them with a sound
foundation for a lifetime. It was this commitment to excellence
in education, research and service that guaranteed that the
University of Maryland at College Park had, once more, exposed
the future.

COLLEGE OF
AGRICULTURE

Last year was an exciting time to be an
agricultural major at the University of Maryland
at College Park.

The first cause of excitement was the new
Animal Sciences and Agricultural Engineering
Complex which was the newest, most techno-
logically advanced facility of its type in the U.S.

The building was completed in December
1994 at a cost of approximately $15 million
and it offers 44,000 square feet of usable state-
of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, and offices
for faculty, staff and graduate students.

Furthermore, a new $26.3 million plant sci-
ences building was under construction and slated
for completion in 1995. The seven-story struc-
ture will provide 185,000 square feet of free
space, of which 102,300 square feet will be
dedicated to specialized research. It will house
the departments of Entomology and Horticul-
ture.

The appointment of Dr. Thomas A. Fretz as
the Dean of the College of Agriculture was the
second point of excitement.

Fretz, an alumnus, received his bachelor's
degree in horticulture in 1964. He went on to
gain his master's degree in the same field and his
Ph.D. in plant sciences from the University of
Delaware in 1966 and 1970.

"1 look forward to providing leadership that
will allow Maryland to have a truly unique and
outstanding College of Agriculture," Fretz said.
"This is a wonderful opportunity - one in which
I look forward to participate along with leader-
ship in the college, the university and the es-
tate."

Before he received the appointment at Mary-
land, Fretz, a Buffalo, New York native, held
leadership positions at various universities across
the nation including, but not limited to, Iowa
State University, Georgia Technical Institute
and Ohio State University.

HEALTH AND HUMAN
PERFORMANCE

■'For the first time in history, the health and mortality
of an individual depends more upon his or her choice
of life-styles instead of the health system, and we are
committed to enable people to reduce life-style risks
and move toward wellness." said Dean John J. Burt,
while he discussed the main goal of the college.

In order to effectively achieve this goal the college
employed an impressive mix of faculty, programs and
facilities, thus ranked among the very best of its kind in
the world. The Department of Kinesiology ranked in
the top 10% nationally, of Health Education in the top
5% and the Center on Aging in the top 8%.

Last year, the Department of Family Studies was
administratively placed under the College of Health and
Human Performance. This addition proved valuable in
increasing the potential of the college to improve the
quality of family life in a contemporary society. More-
over, the college offered a large number of service
courses which reached more than 18,000 students
each year.

LIFE SCIENCES

The College of Life Sciences of-
fered educational opportunities for stu-
dents in subjects relating to living or-
ganisms, their interaction with each
other and the environment.

Recently the college instituted the
College Park Scholars (CPS), a two
year long selective admission program
that provided freshmen with an aca-
demically and socially active environ-
ment. The program is organized so
that the students work closely with
one another and their professors . "' It is
important that a sense of community
is maintained," said Lee Hellman, who
is the head of the life sciences CPS
division.

Furthermore, the students who par-
ticipated received early exposure to
the areas of life sciences and are given
the opportunity to work or volunteer
for the community, the campus or
various organizations such as the Na-
tional Institute of Health.

Another addition to the college is
the biology suite that had been re-
cently constructed in the H.J. Pater-
son Hall. The room was built to ac-
commodate the Biology 105 classes.
"It is the kind of classroom that will
knock your socks off," said Associate
Dean Dr. William Higgins.

BUSINESS AND
MANAGEMENT

The dedication of the state-of-the art building to Leo Van
Munching, Jr. , a 1950 alumnus and president of Van Munch-
ing & Co. , was followed by many changes and advancements
in various areas of the college.

A new electronic classroom, where the students and the
professor communicated with each other through software,
called the IBM Total Quality Multimedia Classroom, was
opened in the fall.

The school's Center for International Business Education
and Research instituted a database on foreign markets and
products. Dean Mayer explained that, "clients can use the
database to find foreign companies or distributors potentially
interested in the clients" products and services."

Beyond the advancements in the available resources, the
college enjoined the acknowledgment of its commitment to
exceptional education. The MBA program received a No. 1
ranking by Princeton Review's Student Access Guide To
The Best Business Schools in accounting and marketing
skills, and effective job placement. Also, the business program
was placed in the top 4% of all MBA programs in the country
by U.S. News & World Report magazine.

COLLEGE OF
EDUCATION

The College of Education is bestowed with the
important duty of advancing the science and art of
education. "Its mission is to teach more, to teach better
and to contribute to the solutions of some of societies's
most complex problems," said Dean Willis Hawley.

Dean Hawley explained, "the College would work to
enhance the capacity of individuals, schools, and school
systems to engage in strategic planing and problem
solving through its conventional degree programs, and
more importantly, through relationships with school
systems and schools which could lead to opportunities
for continuing professional development and problem
solving in the context in which problems are experi-
enced."

This substantial effort of the College was acknowl-

edged through the recognition of the work of many
members of its faculty last year.

Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, was awarded the Distin-
guished International Service Award by the university
for developing international programs and promoting
the spirit of internationalization.

Dr. Robert Berdahl, received the Howard Bowen
Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Dr. Richard Jantz, was the recipient of the
Vernon Anderson Award, honoring his teaching and
service to the College.

Dr. Jean R. Hebeler, was presented the J.E.
Wallace Wallin Education of Handicapped Children
Award by the National Council of Exceptional
Children.

COLLEGE OF

BEHAVIORAL AND
SOCIAL SCIENCES

"We [the faculty] should jump with both feet
into the technology and drag all the students
kicking and screaming with us." — Dr. Kent
Norman, Psychology

The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is comprised
of a range of disciplines grounded in the understanding of the
environmental, social, cultural and individual issues that shape the
world we live in. Whether it was what we learned about our society
in sociology, about ourselves in psychology and Afro-American
studies, or about our government, from professor and newly-elected
governor, Parris Glendening, the college enabled students to think
analytically and perhaps solve the human and social problems that
face the world we live in. With the introduction of new technologies,
the world is transforming at a more rapid rate. The College of
Behavioral and Social Sciences has remained at the forefront with
the integration of interactive media into the classroom.

The concept of interactive media and instruction was not new
to Maryland. In 1989, the first interactive teaching center, the
AT&T MultiMedia Center, was built on the College Park campus
with the most recent addition the IBM Teaching Theater in 1994.
However with all this technology available, not many have taken full-
advantage of the unlimited possibilities. One professor was attempt-
ing to change this concept, including the way we teach and learn.

Dr. Kent L. Norman of the Department of Psychology,
transformed the look and feel of a classroom by creating an
environment entirely based in interactive media. Everything from
familiar lecture notes and syllabi, to class discussions, student polling
and student profiles was performed through the computer. "There
is almost an infinite number of things one can do in these class-
rooms— we really are just scratching the surface right now..." said
Dr. Norman.

Dr. Norman developed a prototype software. Hypercourse.
that fused the traditional instructional tools with interactive media of
today. All lectures, course work, grades, exams and some discussion
is done through the interactive stations in the classroom.

But can all this technology enhance what the student learned

in class? "We think the students understand more," said Dr.

Norman. "We know from cognitive psychology that if people see

pictures of things and actually do it themselves, rather than just

watching the instructor, they will learn more because they engaged

in it."

COLLEGE OE^^^

ARTS AND HUMANITIES

"Its mission is to provide an exemplary liberal
education to all UMCP students through in-
struction in writing, speech, and the foreign
languages, and through an informed under-
standing of the history, art, literature, and cul-
ture of peoples throughout the world."
-Martha Watson, Associate Dean

The College of Arts and Humanities was, for one nnore year,
the largest and most diverse of the college at University of
Maryland. "It embraces twenty-four academic departments,
thus providing 25% of all instruction offered in the University,"
said Martha Watson, Associate Dean of the college.

During the last year, the college welcomed an exceptionally
talented and varied group of new faculty.

Moreover, the Maryland English Institute received a $460,000
grant from U.S. I. A. This grant will support the cooperation
with Samara State Pedagogical University in Russia to enhance
the materials, methods and skills of Russian teachers of the
English language.

COLLEGE OF

JOURNALISM

The College of Journalism was
recently named one of the "Eleven
Exemplary Journalism Schools"
across the country, in a study by the
Gannett Center for Media Studies at
Columbia University. Also, among
the over 500 journalism schools in
the country, Maryland ranked in the
top ten by the Freedom Forum Media
Studies Center.

Recently, the college received a
$1.5 million grant from the Knight
Foundation, which will be used to
establish an endowed chair in public
affairs journalism.

The Knight Foundation was cre-
ated by John and James Knight, who

were also responsible for establishing
the Knight-Ridder News Service. Rep-
resentatives of the foundation said the
grant is given to create permanent po-
sitions at top journalism schools to em-
phasize teaching, to build on strengths
of an existing journalism program and
to reflect a vision that looks to the 21st
century.

This is the first chair to be created in
the journalism college's history. Dean
Reese Cleghorn said, "getting our first
chair is immensely important." He
added, "the gift will enable us to acquire
a higher quality of students. The Foun-
dation applauded the control in our
enrollment members."

COLLEGE OF
ARCHITECTURE

The Schools of Architecture offered a four-year
undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of
Science degree in architecture and a graduate pro-
gram leading to a Master of Architecture. The under-
graduate major is mainly aimed at minimizing the time
required to complete the curriculum leading to the
Master of Architecture.

The B.S. degree in architecture qualified graduates
to pursue a career in many fields, including construc-
tion, real estate development, public administration,
or historic preservation, or to continue in graduate
work in professional fields such as architecture, urban
planing or law.

The Urban Studies and Planning program, which
was part of the Behavioral and Social Sciences Col-
lege, has been part of the School of Architecture for
roughly two years. The program offered a Master of
Community Planning, according to Nancy Lapanne,
assistant to the dean. She described the program as a
"quasi autonomous unit," and the architecture school

and urban studies work closely together, submitting
joint grants and programs.

In May, the school and Morgan State University
hosted the Northeast regional meeting of the Mayors
Institute on City Design. Seven mayors from the
region participated as well as resource people from
urban design and related disciplines.

In 1995 the architecture firm of Moore Ruble Yudell
was awarded a contact for the design of a $60 million
performing arts center. Professor Roger K. Lewis was
the professional advisor to the competition that deter-
mined a winner. Additionally, Dean Steven Hurtt was
a part of the seven-person jury that chose the winning
strategy.

A grant was supplied to Archaeologist and Architec-
tural Historian Professor Lindley Vann for the devel-
opment of course material in the area of non-Western
Architecture. Over the summer. Professor Vann lead
a third expedition to survey ancient harbors in Turkey.

COLLEGE OF

COMPUTER, MATHEMATICAL
AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES

The College of Computer, Mathematical and Physi-
cal Sciences, accommodated both those students who
wished to develop careers in the respective fields and
those who simply wished, or needed, to develop a
relevant background. As a result, a major portion of
the teaching program was devoted to helping students
who majored in areas outside of the college.

In the past year, the Department of Astronomy
participated in several significant discoveries and ac-
tivities, the most important was coordinating the effort
to observe the impact of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet
with Jupiter. The event was described by David Levy,
codiscoverer of the comet, as "the most extraordinary
thing we have seen in the solar system."

Additionally, the geology and physics departments
have gone trough expansion and administrative
changes. The Department of Geology added several
offices in the chemistry building, and its graduate
student and research programs increased as well. The
Department of Physics collaborated with Los Alamos
National Laboratory on the construction of a new
astrophysical observatory in New Mexico. The obser-
vatory, called Milagro, will be used to detect sources of
cosmic rays providing new information about black
holes, centers of active galaxies and other exotic
phenomena.

COLLEGE OF

ENGINEERING

As the 1993-94 academic year brought forth the
centennial celebration so the 1994-95 academic
year ushered in a change of name and leadership
which will help ensure the success of the college in
the next hundred years.

The first twinges of change were noted when
Dean George Dieter, a veteran of educational lead-
ership, tendered his resignation from his post to
languish in the open arms of retirement after 17
years of service.

However, on May 19th in one of his final acts as
dean, he graciously accepted a $ 15 million donation
from engineering alumnus A. James Clark. In light

of this donation, which is believed to be the largest
ever received by a Maryland public university, the
College of Engineering was thus renamed the A.
James Clark School of Engineering.

"Just as Glenn L. Martin provided the building
blocks for the college's outstanding research pro-
grams in place today, A. James Clark will ensure that
University of Maryland engineering students de-
velop the skills necessary to tackle the complex
technical and societal problems of tomorrow, " Presi-
dent Kirwan said.

Although funding is a valuable component
for the education of the engineers of tomorrow,
strong leadership is also important. Faced with the
retirement of Dean Dieter a search committee was
established to find a qualified successor. The result
was the appointment of Dr. William W. Destler as
the new dean of engineering.

As chairman of the electrical engineering,
Destler oversaw the development of one of the
largest and most productive electrical engineering
departments in the nation. In terms of degrees
granted and research expenditures, the department
has consistently ranked in the top five percent of the
200 electrical engineering programs nationwide.

As dean, Destler will oversee the Glenn L.
Martin Institute of Technology and the A. James
Clark School of Engineering. He takes his position
very seriously and has already began to set long term
objectives for the school. "One of my principle goals
is to build on our national reputation for innovative
undergraduate education," Destler said. "The Clark
gift will help support these efforts."

Long term goals really can become reality, as
was demonstrated by the 60 plus students who
worked diligently on the hybrid electric vehicle and
were rewarded by winning all 10 categories at the
1 994 Hybrid Electric Vehicle Challenge in Southfield,
Michigan.

The car, designed to get 70 miles per gallon
and reduce emissions while retaining performance,
was rated most efficient hybrid electric vehicle;
lowest emissions; best technical report; excellence in
safety; best use of an alternative fuel: best range; best
overall performance on an alterative fuel; best over-
all performance; and best engineering design.

The Department of Astronomy achieved many
scientific accomplishments and became known as a
leading center of astronomical studies and discover-
ies throughout the world.

Last year the department was responsible for the
coordination of the observational effort of the im-
pact of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet with Jupiter.
Prior to the crash, a workshop was held on campus
involving more that 200 astronomers from around
the world so that a common plan could be devised.
Moreover, observatories in Europe combined their
efforts with the United States under the Comet
Impact Network Experiment.

The amount of people interested in this event
made an organized effort necessary. Lucy McFadden
,a visiting associate astronomy professor who was
leading the effort, said, "every person with a tele-
scope large enough will be trying to observe it."

Additionally, this once-in-a-millennium event, at-
tracted hundreds of people to the university's obser-
vatory off Metzerott Road. Dr. E. Grayzeck, a
university astronomer, said, "you get a sense of
history. It's better than I expected, its very dra-
matic."

Further observational work performed in the de-
partment, covered the entire electromagnetic spec-

trum, from radio waves to gamma-rays. The university
joined forces with the University of California at Berkeley
and the University of Illinois to build the Berkeley-Illinois-
Maryland-Array (BIMA) of millimeter wave telescopes
located in Hat Creek, California. The first phase of the
construction of the six-element array was completed last
year.

The campus participation in BIMA was managed by the
department's Laboratory for Millimeter Wave Astronomy
(LMA), which was headed by astronomy professor Leo
Blitz. Blitz remarked that, "there are a couple of aspects to
the BIMA project. The first is to build and operate an array
of radio telescopes. The second is to produce science with
the array. "

The array can map planets and can also be used to
observe the formation of young stars. "We observe every-
thing, from the sun to the large scale structure of the
universe. From the closest to the most distant," Blitz said.

Other major groups within the department included the
solar group headed by M. Kundu, which studied the sun in
an attempt to understand solar activity such as sun spots
and solar flares. The space plasma physics group, headed
by D. Papadopoulos, which studied plasma instabilities
occurring within the solar/terrestrial magnetospheric sys-
tem. And the planetary group, headed by M. A'Hearn,
studied the composition and behavior of comets.

COLLEGE PARK

SCHOLARS

During the 1994-95 academic year, the
University of Maryland initiated and experi-
mental program that provided about 460 fresh-
man students with a smooth transition from
the structured life of high school to the vast
world of college. This experiment is called
College Park Scholars (CPS).

CPS began as a twinkle in the eye of former
acting dean of undergraduate studies, Ira Ber-
lin. He believed that this school should be more
likened to a boutique than a large department
store, smaller and more specialized.

Holly Stewart, the assistant director of CPS
agrees, "when people come to a big university
is very alienating. Especially, if you are a
freshman coming from a small high school.
This program makes things smaller."

The program was opened to entering first-
year students. Admission was very competitive
and was based on the student's academic
record, extracurricular and community activi-
ties, letters of recommendation, as well as a
written statement of interest from the student.

Once admitted to CPS, the students are
required to pick a thematic area in which to
pursue his or her studies. There were four
different areas to chose from: CPS in the Life
Sciences, CPS in Science Technology and
Society, CPS in International Studies, and
College Park Artists. An additional three are
planed for the 1995-96 academic year.

The program was based on a two-year time
table, that brought students in and helped them
adjust to the environment, while it allowed
them to pursue their interests through the
thematic areas.

Robert Smith, an off-campus participant in
the program, found it interesting, "it's a lot of
fun getting to meet a whole bunch of different
types of people."

Enrollment in the program is expected to
more than double, to 1,000 students for the
1995 fall semester, and to steadily increase to
1,300 by Fall 1996.

GREEKS

EXPOSING OUR WILD SIDE

EDITED BY AMY FINLAYSON

Another year of Greek activities full of philanthropic fund raising
and wild keg parties has gone down as a success. The Greek antics
had again provided the necessary entertainment and charitable
activity outside of the classroom. All included had a great time
while raising thousands of dollars for organizations such as the
Ronald McDonald House, the American Heart Association, and
various other worthwhile causes. From Rush to Pledging to
Homecoming to Greek Week, the year was full of exciting events.
But most importantly were the special bonds that formed within
the houses as the close sisterhoods and brotherhoods that evolved
made it a time and experience always to be remembered.

As houses got ready for Greek Week,
sororities decided who to ask to join
their forces for the upcoming war. As
the fraternities were serenaded, the
soroities chose their allies and began to
prepare for an exciting week.

A high force basketball match-up
started off the festivities. The teams
were composed of the College Park
Police Department and members of
the Greek system. It was a competitive
week filled with fun events.

There was a talent show, giving par-
ticipants a chance to show what they

were really made of. Other events
included a banner competition, soft-
ball games, ultimate frisbee and Olym-
pics on the Row. Overall, there was
a spirit of competition throughout
the week where teams were judged
on their energy, involvement and
excitement. Of course, every night
was filled with parties living up to the
Greek reputation.

Always doing their part for a good
cause, another big event was called
Dancers for Cancer, where
participants danced for 24 hours.

The dancers worked up a sweat for a good cause, the American Cancer Foundation.
One participant of the week of events, Christine Vosswinhel reported, "It was an
amazing week and it gave me the opportunity to experience a lot of what the Greek
system had to offer."

After all the points were added up, the combination of Theta and Phi Delta took
first place with Delta Gamma and Phi Sigma Kappa coming in second. The festive
week was finished off with a nice little awards ceremony and the rededication of the
chapel. It was week of fun and games to be remembered by all.

Discovering Greek

Life

On a beautiful September day, the excitement of Rush was felt in the air. A flood of
663 primed and painted young women nervously scampered around the streets to begin
their search for a sorority house. Tiring tours of fifteen houses gave the girls a glimpse
of each sorority. The next few days were hectic as the process of mutual selection began
between the Greeks and rushees. As Rush parties continued, formality increased with
upscale dress and food. Each day the girls met more of the sisters and got a better feel
of the houses. Great friendships were formed in the serious Preference ceremonies
where rushees visited the top three houses of their choice. Finally the anticipated Bid Day
arrived and girls busted in anxiously to discover who they would share the rest of their
college careers with and who would ultimately become their sisters and best friends.

Fraternity Rush was much different. The guys only rushed the house or houses which

interested them rather than getting to know the whole system. Except for a few formal

dinners, the whole process was very casual. They basically hung out and got to know each

other on a more personal level up until Bid Day.

Being one of the high points of Greek life, Homecoming was an exciting time that
everyone looked forward to. It took a lot of hard work and planning, but it was always well
worth it. The first event was the Carnival (fund-raiser) to kick off the week. On Monday
night, most houses gathered at the Paragon for a huge party. On Tuesday, the sports
competitions began. Teams were selected for volleyball and flag football and competitive
spirit flooded the fields. That night, a twenty-two way at 94th had everyone living it up
as Homecoming was well under way. Sophomore KD pledge Ann Svikhart told us her
feelings on her first Homecoming. "This has been such a great week so far and now I am
so glad that I became Greek."

Wednesday was highlighted by Olympics on the Row. This event gave every house a
chance to display just how much spirit they had. That night, people either went to Fells
Point or returned to the Paragon. Greeks were able to strut their stuff on Thursday at the
Talent Show. Various skits and dance routines provided entertainment for all. Thursday
and Friday, houses had parties among themselves and prepared for the big game on
Saturday. The week closed with the Rededication ceremony at the Chapel and the
presentation of trophies to the winners of all the events. The overall winners of the week
were the combination of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Alpha Mu.

STEPPING OUT. . .

UNITY, AWARENESS, AND EDUCATION IN THE FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT

After a one year hiatus, the Pan Hellenic
Council's (PHC) annual step show returned
to Maryland. Over 40 high school kids,
seven fraternities and sororities and Dance
Afrika performed before a crowd of 400
spectators.

The evening began with the performance
of "Isis Kids", a group of local high school
students sponsored by Omega Psi Phi Fra-
ternity, Inc. , Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. ,
and the African American Studies Program.

Monica Payne, senior Journalism major
and member of Sigma Gamma Rho Soror-
ity, Inc. said, "I'm really disappointed about
the low turnout. A lot of people on this

campus have negatives views about the black
Greek system. It is good to see them doing
something positive."

Other performances included Maryland's
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. with a
theme of respect for Black women, their
sisters from UVA performed a depiction of
death and resurrection of the Black, Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Dance Afrika, Sigma
Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., with a military
drill, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.,

All Slicked Up

And Ready To Party

Being one of the special events most looked forward to, formals gave the Greeks a
chance to show off in their slick suits and fancy dresses. After spending hours in front of
the mirror and perfecting every last touch, couples would meet up at a house for the pre
party. This gave everyone a chance to meet everyone else and loosen up a little bit, so
when they got to the formal, they were ready to hit the dance floor. DJ's kept belting out
requests and popular tunes to keep the crowd hopping. Food, drink, and laughter were
plentiful to provide the night with sort of a buzz. Liz Knecky said "Some of the best times
I've had as a Greek have been at formals. It's so much fun to get to see everyone all dressed
up and we always have a great time."

Formals were held at all different places such as the Camden Club, the Omni, Lord
Baltimore, the new Holiday Inn, or a variety of other places. Even though everyone was
exhausted by the end of the night, they were sorry to see it end. Couples climbed on the
buses, recapping their best memories of the night and looking forward to changing their
clothes. Out of all Greek events, formals were nights enjoyed and remembered by all.

One of the most important aspects of Greek life are the social activities and of course,
the parties. Every weekend houses would get together and release the tension of a long
week of classes. As the guests began to float in, introductions were made and singles
began to scan the crowd for a potential hook up. Overflowing bars and loud dance music
kept the nights alive. Everyone always had a great time and these nights were the source
of amusing moments to remember.

Typical sorts included list parties or getting together with other houses in two, four, ten,
or sixteen ways. Some parties had a theme such as "Biker", "70's"', graffiti, or any
number of things. Special events included dated parties, crush parties, and get away
weekends. These were always held at different places for something new and fun.

Wild parties provided a great chance for the Greeks to really get to know people in other

houses and just get crazy.

What was your worst date at UMCP like?
Male Female

• Believe it or not, I've not yet had one.

• Beautiful woman, good movie, but ended so
abruptly I didn't have time to breathe.

• When my father hooked me up with a high
school girl I had never met to take her to her
prom. Would have been OK if she hadn't
introduced me as "the boyfriend" she was
telling everybody about.

• They were all the BEST.

• The first time I went out with Jen during my
freshmen year, who is now my fiance.

• A blind date for a formal. I don't even remember
his name.

• He took me to the dining hall, and he wouldn't
even buy me orange juice. It cost $2.00, he said.

• We rode the shuttle to the cellar. He got wasted
and started puking on the way back. So, I left him
and never called him back.

• When I went out with a guy and he smoked weed
and his friend gave me his gun to hold.

• I had to pay for EVERYTHING!

■ Valentine's Day Freshman year. Dinner with my new boyfriend. Very quiet and romantic.
Going to a winning football game and the party after.

Let's just say it's been a two year long date and still going.
When my boyfriend proposed to me.

■ At L'Enfant Metro station, a young boy sang a romantic solo in front of everyone.
Comedy club in D.C. and beautiful walk at the Monument.

■ When I was selected to attend a Christmas dinner with the University President.

ORGANIZATIONS

Getting Exposed

Edited by Tracy Isaac

Far from home, college students learned to adjust to cramped
living quarters, cafeteria food, and living with complete and total
strangers. Carl Versify and Ted Ampus were two new roommates
learning to cope with each other but sometimes they hit a sag.

Looking soulfully to his roommate from his bed, Carl moaned,
"Ted, I am bored! Can we do something together today?" Closing
his Psych book, Ted exclaimed, "Hell No!" Feeling dejected, Carl
whimpered softly to himself. "Look! Pouting won't help you this
time, Carl," barked Ted. "First of all, you and I do not like the same
things. I'm caviar and you are mayo on white. And...."

"Oh! There is an 'and', huh?!" bellowed Carl as he tried to hold
back the rushing tears. "Yes!" explained Ted sternly. "Second of
all, I don't like you." Heartbroken, Carl buried his tear-stained face
into his pillow. Rolling his eyes, Ted continued to talk," But Carl,
I do care enough to tell you to... get out!"

"What!" screeched Carl, as he leaped from his bed. Approach-
ing Ted, "You have some nerve! This room is as much as mine as
it's yours! Where do you get off tell me, Mr. Caviar, to get out?!
Because I'll tell you somethin', it's not going to happen!"

Shaking his head in disbelief at Carl's new found ferocity, Ted
clarified his statement. "Sit down, Samson! When I said 'get out',
I meant you should go and expose yourself to campus life. Join an
organization or two, rush a fraternity, do something! College is
what you make and take out of it, Carl. I can't do that for you.

Go experience, enjoy, get away from me! Do something! But

please leave," begged Ted.

"Do you really think, I can find an organization suitable for me?"
asked a perplexed Carl. "Yes, I do!" cheered Ted. With that final
word of encouragement, Carl raced out of 7006 Ellicott Hall,
searching for activities and organizations to fill the void within him.
"Thank goodness, he's gone! Now, I can get some work done,"
sighed Ted as he closed the door.

CHARLES R. DREW

PRE-MED SOCIETY

PhotoBy Tyrone Brooks

This past year, the Charles R. Drew Pre-
Med Society, in its dedication to help minor-
ity students pursue their goals of becoming
physicians, nurses, dentists, or any other
position within the health profession, accom-
plished many tasks.

During the Spring of 1994, many of the
students attended a Medical School Confer-
ence in Hampton, Virginia where they were
able to speak with many medical school
representatives and medical students.
Throughout each semester, the society mem-
bers attended trips to area medical schools,
invited medical school representatives to talk
to the students, and provided an abundance
of information on research programs, intern-
ships, and summer medical school programs.
"Funded in part by your student activities
fee."

Maryland Media marked its twenty-
third year as the nonprofit organiza-
tion that owned and operated the
Diamondback, Terrapin, Mitzpeh
and Eclipse publications. These pub-
lications were overseen by a Board of
Directors that strove to provide a
professional environment for students
who were interested in the print me-
dia. The objective of the board was
not to censor or influence content of
a publication, but to provide guidance
and advice when needed to the edi-
tors of these publications.

Editors of all the publications had
to be full-time students. They had
complete control and maintained full
responsibility for the publications they
produced, and they also served on
the Board of Directors.

VISITOR CENTER

Photo by Joanne Saidman

Ever since the Visitor Center opened in the Diary Salesroom on September 4, 1990, our Welcomers have
greeted and helped about 14,000 campus visitors each year. They demonstrated pride in their University,
vast knowledge and enthusiasm of their campus. The Welcomers usually served as the first campus
representative, and many times the only one, to the visitors. While 43% of our visitors were prospective
students and their families, others were seeking directions to all corners of our campus. Still, a significant
number asked for directions to the sights in Washington, Baltimore and the mid-Atlantic region. No matter
their destination, each visitor was met with a smile and a friendly greeting and then provided with a map or
directions, along with a souvenir post card, depicting an aerial view of our campus near the M-circle. The
Welcomers were coordinated by Campus visitor Advocate Nick Kovalakides, who directed Visitors from his
office in Memorial Chapel.

Founded 10 years ago, Mitzpeh was the
Campus Monthly Jewish student newspa-
per. Published by Maryland Media, Inc.,
the Mitzpeh covered a wide range of topics
of interest to the Jewish campus commu-
nity, whether cultural, religious, secular,
national, international, or campus based
news. Mitzpeh 's staff of about 15, aimed
to represent the voices of the more than
6,000 Jewish students, faculty, and staff at
the University of Maryland.

The Mary McLeod Bethune Society was a rela-
tively new organization, started in 1989, under the
name of T.I.M.E. With a name change in 1991 to
the Mary Mcleod Bethune society, the organization
started on a new path. This past year, the society
had many successful projects, including various
tutoring programs and a college day program
which introduced local minority high school stu-
dents to the University of Maryland campus. In
addition to community projects, Mary Mcleod

semester included the CAReing Project, a halloween dance at a school for disabled
children, Food Bank, Soup Kitchen, the AIDSWalk '94, and the Hunger and Homelessness

AMATEUR RADIO ASSOCIATION

Amateur radio evolved significantly in
recent years due to the rising popularity of
computers, and our club evolved along with
it. The University of Maryland Amateur
Radio Association consisted of people inter-
ested in exploring and enjoying new meth-
ods of radio communication. We also pro-
vided emergency and public service com-
munications, advanced the radio art, and
improved communication and technical
skills. To that end, we supported a radio-to-
telephone repeater, a packet-radio com-
puter, and equipment for traditional world-
wide Morse code and voice contacts.

No knowledge of Morse code was neces-
sary to exam for a ham license. All we asked
for was an interest in talking with people via
ham radio . Stop by 3 1 1 1 -B South Campus

PHI ETA SIGMA

Phi Eta Sigma was a national honor society which recognized outstanding achievement and a dedication to
community service. Our 1994-1995 season began with a recycling project and the giving of food to the
homeless. These events were followed up with a successful initiation and reception ceremony of 166 new
members, in which Dr. James Airozo, University of Maryland's Honors Program Assistant Director, our
keynote speaker addressed the topic of education and service. Other events this fall consisted of providing a
Sexual Harassment Workshop, helping the elderly, and volunteering at St. Ann's Infant and Maternity Home.
An extensive Chesapeake Bay Clean-Up Campaign kicked-off the 1995 school year. Phi Eta Sigma's central
emphasis was striving to make our community and world a better place in which to live.

CAMPUS PARKING

Director: Mr David Allen

The Department of Campus Parking (DCP) was the place to go when students,
faculty, staff and visitors want to park their vehicles on campus. This department
processed more than 56,000 permits in order to effectively manage the parking
areas on campus. Upholding the UMCP Parking Rules and Regulations through
education, engineering and enforcement was another primary function of the DCP.
The staff developed new programs and promoted current policies to help the campus
community. Parking information was provided to students through a campus map,
brochures, fliers, articles and advertisements in the campus newspaper and partici-
pation in campus activities. A new community service program was implemented
this year. DCP introduced the Motor Assistance Vehicle (MAV) Program which
assisted the campus community who experience minor vehicle mechanical failures.
Some of the services provided were jump started, air inflation, and lockouts.

278

OFFICE OF COMMUTER AFFAIRS

Director: Dr Barbara Jacobi;

It all began in 1972 with only a shoebox full of cards listing
housing and two vans, brought second hand by the SGA to
provide security on campus. In 1994-95, the shoebox has
been transformed into a computerized off-campus housing
referral service. The two vans grew into the 40-bus Shuttle
UM system. The familiar red-and-white buses provided
reliable service to students on nine commuter routes, three
evening security routes, and Call-A-Ride. In addition, OCA
provided students with information on transportation alterna-

tives and other commuter issues. Programs like,
"Good Morning, Commuters!" and S.H.O.W. (Stu-
dents Helping, Orienting and Welcoming), assisted
students in getting more involved in the life of the
campus.

OFFICE OF JUDICIAL PROGRAMS

Director: Dr Gari; Pavela

The primary function of the Office of Judicial Pro-
grams was to resolve disciplinary referrals filed against
students efficiently and equitably. The office staff
determined disciplinary charges and interviewed and
advised all parties involved in disciplinary proceed-
ings. The most serious cases were resolved by
student judiciary boards which were comprised of
four groups: the Central Judicial, the Student Honor
Council, Community Advocates, and Student Park-
ing Appeals. Although each group differed slightly in
their perspective, they worked to educate other
students about their rights and responsibilities as
members of the campus community.

The Judicial Programs staff trained and advised
the student judiciary, reviewed all decisions of the

judicial boards, maintained student disciplinary records maintain the educational mission of the University of Mary-
and conducted research and analysis regarding stu- land, by designing policies, conducting programs, and offering
dent conduct. Through honesty, respect and sensi- instruction that contributed to the intellectual and moral devel-
tivity, the Office of Judicial Programs serves to opment of the entire student body.

279

STAMP STUDENT UNION AND CAMPUS PROGRAMS
AND UNIVERSITY BOOK CENTER

Director: Dr James Osteen

The Adele H. Stamp Student Union served as the center of
campus life for the entire University community. Over its
40-year history, the Union has grown from a small recre-
ational activity for the campus. This year, the Union
provided a diverse range of programs and services used by
over 19,000 people daily. Such programs varied from
comedy in the Nite Life to guided weekend trips, and
campus-wide social events, such as
the annual All-Nighter. The Union
housed the University Book Cen-
ter and Campus Programs as well
as the Hoff Theater, the Art Cen-
ter, the Recreation Center, and
shops and restaurants; all of which
provided a welcome relief from
academic pressures. Campus Pro-
grams featured services for stu-
dent organization, involvement and
leadership development opportu-
nities, and advising for campus
fraternities and sororities. The
Union was also a source of educa-
tion, with students gaining work
experience and learning lifetime
leadership skills through
employment and service in the
Union's many programming com-
mittees and organizations.

CAMPUS GUEST SERVICES

Director: Mr Patrick Perfetto

Campus Guest Services was the University's host to the
thousands of guests and visitors who came to the Univer-
sity this year. We greeted about 12,000 visitors at the
Visitor Center, located in the "The Diary" on Route 1.
Forty percent of our visitors sought admissions informa-
tion. The Visitor staff assured that these potential future
students had a good first impression of the University. We
provided lodging, meals, meeting space and a variety of
other services to about 30,000 guests who attended
summer conferences, competitions, workshops and camps.
About half these guest were teens who may someday think
of their summer experience at Maryland in deciding where
to attend college. Finally, Campus Guest Services coordi-
nated the Memorial Chapel and the hundreds of wedding
that occurred there this year. Many of our newlyweds were
recent graduates.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

ASSOCIATION

Through a lot of hard work and innova-
tion, the Student Government Association
accomplished a great deal during the year.
By expanding upon successful campus pro-
grams like United Cultures, and introducing
new ones, such as the Student Course Evalu-
ation, this year's executive and legislative
board achieved a new focus. The S.G.A.
continued to maintain its integrity by repre-
senting the interests of the students at the
University of Maryland.

Congratulations to the graduating Class of
1995.

KOREN STUDENT TENNIS
ASSOCIATION

The Korean Student Tennis Association of the
University of Maryland (KOSTAM) registered as a
formal student organization at UMCP in 1993.
KOSTAM promoted the bodily and mental en-
hancement of its members in a friendly atmo-
sphere and gave them the opportunity to commu-
nicate academic information and participate in
social activities. The members of KOSTAM regu-
larly got together to play and enjoy tennis once a
week. Other regular activities of KOSTAM in-
cluded its annual tennis tournament, fellowship
meetings, picnic parties, special seminars on re-
lated subjects, and services for KOSTAM's com-
munal student families.

THE YEAR IN

REVIEW

Edited By Ruth Werner

As with every other year, 1994 made its mark in the history
books by exposing many various events. Along with most of the
East Coast, Maryland began the year beneath a sheet of ice and
snow, causing the start of the UMCP semester to be delayed for a
week. The nasty weather did not give up as flooding plagued the
south, and forest fires left parts of the west burnt to a crisp.

At the University of Maryland, the Banneker scholarship was
declared unconstitutional by a court ruling after four years of
litigation. The South Hill and Leonardtown basketball courts
received a lot of exposure on campus as the posts and hoops were
taken away for safety reasons.

Back by popular demand, former Mayor of Washington, D.C.
Marion Barry defeated Republican Carol Schwartz to once again
become the mayor of the Capital city. UMCP campus professor
Parris Glendening was elected governor of the state of Maryland
after a very close race with Republican candidate Ellen Sauerbrey.

In the national scene, the White House found itself exposed in
the news on many occasions, including when a plane crashed on
the south lawn, and later in the year when a man randomly shot at
the White House from outside its gates.

The nation watched via television satellite as the lives of Tanya
Harding and Nancy Kerrigan unfolded, after Kerrigan was clubbed
by Harding's ex-husband right before the 1994 Winter Olympics
in Lillehammer, Norway. O.J. Simpson made his way into homes
across the nation after being accused for murdering his ex-wife
Nicole, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

To the disappointment of many Generation X'ers, Kurt Cobain,
lead singer of the grunge rock group Nirvana, stunned the music
world with news of his suicide.

There were a great many highs and lows in 1994, all of which
made for a very memorable year.

Due to insufficient support in
Congress, the Clinton's proposed
Health Care Bill, which called for
universal change, did not pass, leav-
ing the United States without sig-
nificant health insurance reform.

President Clinton signed a thirty
million dollar crime law, which
banned many assault firearms, al-
lowed the death penalty for dozens
more federal crimes, and provided
billions of dollars over six years to
build prisons and hire police. In an
ironical twist, later in the year, a
gunman fired shots at the White
House.

Music fans alike gathered for
Woodstock '94, a celebration 25
years after the original Woodstock
took place. Musicians such as Bob
Dylan, Joe Cocker, Melissa
Ethridge, Gun's-n-Roses, and
Aerosmith rocked the rain
drenched, mud covered fans.

Making progress in the space
program, astronauts walked in
space without connection to the
mother ship, testing a jet pack
designed to be a life preserver for
space station crews of the future.
This was the first untethered
spacewalk in ten years.

More than three million acres of
woodlands stretching across west-
ern states, including areas such as
Boise, Idaho, the Jackson Hole ski
valley, western Wyoming's Grand
Teton National Park, and Sierra,
Nevada, required tens of thousands
of firefighters to extinguish flames
that burned throughout the sum-
mer months.

286

Tropical storm Albert provided
severe damage to the state of Geor-
gia this past July, with two weeks of
record flooding, which caused forty-
six counties to be declared national
disaster areas. Thirty one people
were killed, hundreds of bridges
and roads were destroyed, caskets
were uprooted from cemeteries,
top soil was washed away, and
farm pond dams were washed out.

1994 was a far from dull year in
the world of professional sports.
Dallas watched its Cowboys round
up another Superbowl champion-
ship by defeating the Buffalo Bills.
New York cheered on its Rangers
to a Stanley Cup in ice hockey, but
were not so fortunate as its Knicks
lost to the Houston Rockets in the
NBA championship. However,
Baseball players refusing to com-
ply with a salary cap imposed by
owners, chose to strike, leaving the
nation without a world series for
the first time since 1904.

Plagued by the poverty and hun-
ger of the Communist-run island of
Cuba, thousands of Cubans set sail
for the United States. The United
States agreed to admit at least
20,000 Cubans a year by revers-
ing a 28- year old policy in ex-
change for the promise of a cease
of the flood of refugees condoned
by Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

The Clinton administration was
relieved when Haiti's military rul-
ers complied with the United Na-
tions and promised to cede power
to President elect Jean Bertrand
Aristide, who was in exile in the
U.S. Special envoys, including
former President Jimmy Carter,
retired General Colin Powell, and
Sen. Sam Nunn, reached a deal
with General Raoul Cedras and his
troops.

Civil war between the Hutu tribe
and the Tutsi tribe in the African
nation of Rwanda resulted in
500,000 deaths and 2 million
Rwandans fleeing the nation be-
cause of fighting. Tensions be-
tween the two tribes, which had
been around for years, were ig-
nited in April 1994 when the Hutus
blamed the Tutsi tribe for being
responsible for the death of

^01

^^^ ^^^^^»

President Juvenal Habyarimana, a
member of the Hutu tribe, who
died in a mysterious plane crash.

President Clinton played the
proud host to Israeli Prime Minis-
ter Yitzhak Rabin and King Hussein
of Jordan as a handshake on the
south lawn of the White House
secured hopes of peace in the
Middle East between the two na-
tions. Israel and Jordan had a long
history of being at odds, dating
back to 1948, when the state of
Israel was created.

Despite the efforts by the United
Nations peacekeeping force, civil
war continued to plague Bosnia-
Herzegovinia in 1994. The two
year old conflict began in 1992
when Bosnia's Serbian citizens re-
belled against a decision to secede
by Yugoslavia's Muslim and
Croatian citizens.

Providing some culture and ex-
citement, the World Cup soccer
tournament, hosted by the United
States, bedazzled audiences all over
the planet as Brazil defeated Italy
and walked away the grand win-
ner.

This year brought many unfor-
tunate and often untimely deaths.
Former President Richard M.
Nixon died as well as former First
Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Aids activist Pedro Zamora, who
also appeared on MTV's The Real
World succumbed to the debilitat-
ing disease. Wilma Rudolph,
former track star and Olympic
medalist, actor Raoul Julia, known
for his roles in "The Addams Fam-
ily" movies, Jessica Tandy, Oscar
winning actress, and musician Cab
Calloway, known as the Heidi
Heidi Hi band leader, also passed
away.

Despite not being seeded in the
U.S. Open tennis tournament,
Andre Agassi pulled off a some-
what amazing winning streak de-
feating seven opponents for the
championship.

Having retired from the Chi-
cago Bulls and the world of profes-
sional basketball, Michael Jordan
signed a contract to play minor
league baseball for the Chicago
White Sox.

Tying the knot, rock star Michael
Jackson and his wife, Lisa Marie
Presley, made their

290

coming out party by opening the
MTV Music Video Awards cer-
emony as Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
A few months later their marriage
was reported to be on the rocks.

August marked the swearing in
of the nation's 108th Supreme
Court Justice , 55 year old Stephen
G. Breyer, a federal appeals court
judge from Massachusetts, who
replaced the retiring Justice Harry
A. Blackmun.

Proving heavy metal wasn't just
for the young, lead singer Steve
Tyler and his metal band Aerosmith
walked away with three awards
from the MTV Music Video Awards
for their "Cryin" video.

Most of the nation found their
regularly scheduled television pro-
gram preempted as the police
chased football star, sportscaster,
and actor O.J. Simpson along a
large section of the L.A. Freeway.
O.J. was wanted for the suspected
murder of his ex-wife Nicole and
her friend Ronald Goldman.

Crowned the 68th Miss America,
21 year old Heather Whitestone,
who is hearing impaired, was the
first contestant with a disability to
win the Miss America pageant.

CL«OSING

UNDER EXPOSED

Edited By Robin Solomon

Nowhere on campus could a more dedicated group of people
be found than in 3101 South Campus Dining Hall. The 1995
Terrapin staff consisted of a collection of individuals who dedi-
cated themselves to producing a really great book, and in the
process learned a lot about themselves and each other.

Throughout the year, a real sense of family developed as weekly
meetings brought the staff together. Countless hours were spent
in the office working together and trying to get things accom-
plished. Overall, the staff put in hundreds of hours creating and
composing their pages, developing first rate pictures and doing a
multitude of related tasks.

A great many obstacles had to be overcome from Day 1 , but
these individuals pulled together and pulled this book through.
Everyone had to learn new skills and took on many challenges, but
320 pages later, everyone had grown from the experience. And
most importantly, all of the Terrapin staff members got to expose
a little bit of themselves in all corners of the book.

The Terrapin has been under exposed for too long. Whoever
reads this book should know about the hard work and dedication
that went into its production. The staff of the 1995 Terrapin
made all of this possible.

Editor's Thoughts Exposed

In breaking with tradition. I will not fill this page with inane rambling on
my closing thoughts. They are too many and not coherent enough to make
sense, but the one thing that did form an image in my head was this...

When I thought of the theme "Exposing Ourselves," 1 had a clear picture
of what it meant. It was a picture of my growth here at Maryland, of the risks
that I have taken and the results I have had to live with. The theme sums up
my college experience.

I also break with tradition by not racking my brain for witty and insightful
remarks about everyone that comes to mind. Inevitably, I would forget
someone, or just not do justice to their importance to me. Instead, I offer
a blanket statement to anyone whom I've come in contact with one way or
another while producing this book.

Without your tremendous support and great efforts, my sanity would be
no more and the 1995 Terrapin may have never gotten off the ground. To
each of you, thank you very, very much. I wish everyone much success and
good fortune.
