"T: 


he  class 
of  1933 
brought  Testudo 
to  Maryland  after 
determining 
there  was  no  true 
symbol     to 


represent  the 
university.  They 
decided  to  create 
a  bronze  memo- 
rial of  a  North 
Atlantic  Dia- 
mondback 
Terrapin,  be- 
cause of  its 
habitat,  which  is 
unique  to 
Maryland's 
western  and 
eastern  shores. 
Testudo  has  be- 
come a  highly 
storied  mascot 
for  students.  Of- 
ten the  victim  of 
rival 
universities ' 
pranks,  Testudo 
was  filled  with 
cement  and  relo- 
cated to  the  front 
of  McKeldin  Li- 
b  r  a  r  y  to 
prevent  any  fur- 
ther abductions. 
Students  today 
consider 
Testudo  to  be  a 
symbol  of  good 
luck,  as 
rubbing  the 
statue's  nose 
and  leaving 
"peace  offer- 
ings" are  com- 
mon ways  of  ap- 
peasing  the 
statue  in 
exchange  for 
academic  and 
personal  suc- 
cess.

These  are  the  things  we  will  remember  as  we  look  back  on  our  college 

years,  the  memories  we  are  experiencing  as  students  at  the  University  of 
Maryland.  No  one  will  be  able  to  see  them  quite  the  way  we  did.

Located  just  40  mi.  south  of  Baltimore  and  15  mi.  out- 
side of  Washington  D.C.,  where  there  are  hundreds  of 
museams,  restaurants  and  shops,  it  is  easy  to  see  why 
students  at  the  University  of  Maryland  have  such  busy 
schedules.  Students  don't  even  have  to  go  that  far  tr 
find  entertainment:  restaurants,  bars,  clubs  and  shop 
ping  are  just  seconds  away  from  campus  on  Route  1 
not  to  mention  the  movie  theater,  bowling  alley  am 
numerous  places  to  eat  on  campus.

EMMA 


The  University  Theatre  has  had  a  great  year! 
The  first  show  of  the  1998-99  school  year  was 
"Emma,"  a  play  by  Michael  Fry  based  on  the  novel 
by  Jane  Austen.  It  showed  in  Pugliese  Theatre  on 
February  11-22,  1998-99.  It  is  a  comic  clash  be- 
tween romance  and  independence  by  one  of  the 
world's  most  charming  and  successfial  authors.  The 
play  was  directed  by  Nick  Olcott  who  commented, 
"My  overall  image  of  this  play  is  a  dance.  People  in 
the  play  form  pairs,  move  together,  separate  and  move 
on".  He  describes  the  play  as  a  faithful  adaptation 
of  the  Jane  Austen  novel,  which  focuses  on  the  eco- 
nomic and  social  place  of  marriage.  David  Cannon 
of  "The  Montgomery  County  Sentinel"  wrote, 
"['Emma'  is]  the  first  unabashed  success  of  1998, 
and  a  perfect  Valentine's  Day  present.

University  Theatre  presented  the  heartfeh 
"Dancing  at  Lughnasa"  by  Brian  Friel  in  Tawes  The- 
atre March  4-14.  This  is  an  acknowledged  master- 
piece of  contemporary  theatre  and  features  some  of 
the  best  acting  challenges  imaginable.  "Its  spirit  of 
warmth  and  humanity  speaks  to  all  audiences",  said 
Tom  Prewitt,  director  of  the  performance.  The  pro- 
duction is  about  five  sisters  and  their  poignant 
struggle  to  survive  and  find  happiness  despite  eco- 
nomic and  social  obstacles.  The  play  is  set  in 
Ballybeg.  Ireland  in  1936,  during  the  Festival  of 
Lughnasa,  a  pagan  festival  dedicated  to  the  Celtic 
God  of  the  Harvest.

University  Theatre  at  the  Universit>'  of  Mary- 
land presented  "The  Balcony,"  a  play  by  Jean  Genet 
translated  by  Bernard  Fretchman.  Performances  were 
in  the  Pugliese  Theatre  April  29-MaylO.  "The  play 
deals  with  culture's  obsession  with  spying,  voyeur- 
ism and  celebrit>',"  mentioned  the  director,  Michael 
Oliver.  The  play  is  a  Theatre  of  the  Absurd  play  and 
the  playwright  alters  perceptible  reality  to  create  a 
new  and  often  startling  world.  Oliver  commented, 
"You  can  invent  the  situation.  With  playwrights  like 
Jean  Genet,  you're  free  to  create  your  own  logic.  We 
don't  have  enough  surprises  in  the  theatre-  Theatre 
of  the  Absurd  creates  surprises."  The  set  design  was 
done  by  Bruce  Lindsay,  a  recent  Maryland  graduate.

The  World  Goes  Round 


i 


The  spring  99  theatre  season  opened  with  the 
musical  revue,  "The  World  Goes  'Round"  October 
1 5-24  in  Tawes  Theatre.  The  play  spotlights  the  best 
songs  of  John  Kander  and  Fred  Ebb  and  was  con- 
ceived by  Scott  Ellis,  Susan  Stroman,  and  David 
Thompson.  Jane  Pesci-Townsend,  director,  com- 
mented, "Kander  and  Ebb's  most  recognizable  songs 
are  showtunes  at  their  most  glitzy  American  best. 
Yet  the  characters  behind  the  songs  aren't  all  glitzy- 
Kander  and  Ebb's  songs  are  about  simple  people 
having  deep  emotions  just  like  everyone  else."  The 
scene  designer  for  the  University  production  was 
Raye  Leith  and  the  costume  design  was  done  by  John 
Davies,  a  master  of  Fine  Arts  student.

The  bittersweet  drama,  "The  Seagull"  was 
presented  November  1 1-22  in  Pugliese  Theatre.  The 
production  is  a  Russian  drama  of  ambition,  talent, 
and  unrequited  love,  written  by  Anton  Chekhov  and 
translated  by  Kristin  Johnsen-Neshati.  The  director, 
Zeljko  Djukic,  noted,  "It's  extremely  cruel,  hopeless 
but  funny,  emotional.  [The  characters]  often  say  one 
thing,  think  another,  and  do  something  third-  that  of 
course,  brings  humor.  For  the  most  part  the  charac- 
ters are  arrogant,  mean,  cruel,  stupid,  selfish.  Seem- 
ingly, there's  nothing  special  about  them-  but  what's 
fascinating  is  the  fact  that  each  character  had  a  soul 
that  bears  a  secret  of  their  own  life."  According  to 
Leonard  Hughes  of  The  Washington  Post,  "The 
Seagull"  found  every  chance  to  bring  the  comedy 
out  of  Chekov's  script"  and  was  "in  many 
ways...  spectacular."

This  play  is  an  interesting 
mix  of  humor  and  pathos,"  said 
Catherine  Schuler,  director  of  the 
production.  "The  irony  of  twins 
who  are  from  the  same  womb  yet 
opposite  sides  of  the  political 
)ectrum  make  the  play  some- 
thing of  a  political  farce.  Picture 
someone  with  the  politics  of  a 
Jesse  Helms  or  an  Arianna 
Huffington  thrown  together  with 
Gloria  Steinem  for  life. 

"Paula  Vogel  is  witty  play- 
wright who  writes  some  incred- 
ibly witty  dialogue,  yet  the  play  is 
no  piece  of  fluff.  It  offers  a  reflec- 
tion of  the  politics  of  hatred,  the 
depiction  of  the  culture  wars,  and 
how  the  two  sisters  respond  to  it."

Board  of  Regents  Announce  Appointment  of 
Mote     as     President     of        University 


University  System  of 
Maryland  (USM)  Board  of  Re- 
gents Chairman  Lance  W. 
Billingsley  announced  June  2nd, 
the  appointment  of  Dr.  Clayton 
Daniel  "Dan"  Mote,  Jr.  as  the  27th 
president  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  starting  in  September. 

Mote  comes  to  Maryland 
from  the  University  of  California, 
Berkeley,  where  he  was  Vice 
Chancellor  of  University  Rela- 
tions, President  of  the  UC  Berke- 
ley Foundation,  and  held  an  en- 
dowed chair  in  Mechanical  Sys- 
tems. As  the  new  president  of  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  Mote  re- 
places Dr.  William  E.  "Brit" 
Kirwan,  who  assumedf  the  presi- 
dency of  Ohio  State  University  on 
July  1. 

"The  Regents  could  not  be 
more  pleased  with  this  appoint- 
ment," said  Bilhngsley.  "Dr.  Mote 
brings  to  the  University  of  Mary- 
land the  national  stature,  record  of 
accomplishment,  and  leadership 
abilities  to  build  on  Brit  Kirwan's 
legacy  and  to  propel  this  institu- 
tion into  the  top  tier  of  American 
research  universities.  A  man  of 
impeccable  credentials,  he  is 
widely  recognized  for  his  ability 
to  form  strategic  alUances  between 
the  academy  and  the  community. 


I  can  think  of  no  one  better  to  take 
over  the  helm  of  our  flagship  uni- 
versity." 

Mote,  6 1 ,  was  named  to  the 
Vice  Chancellor's  position  and 
foundation  presidency  at  UC  Ber- 
keley in  1 99 1 .  In  those  capacities,

ing with  the  university's  external 
constituencies  through  a  variety  of 
programs,  including  fund  raising, 
government  relations,  publica- 
tions, and  public  information.  In 
1992  he  launched  a  comprehen- 
sive, campus-wide  cam  paign  to 
raise  $1.1  billion  in  private  sup- 
port by  the  year  2000. 

From  1987  to  1991,  Mote 
served  as  chair  of  Berkeley's  De- 
partment of  Mechanical  Engineer- 
ing, leading  the  department  to  its 
number  one  ranking  in  the  Na- 
tional Research  Council  review  of 
graduate  program  effectiveness.

Norwegian  Institute  for  Wood  Sci- 
ence and  Technology,  the  Techni- 
cal University  of  Darmstadt,  and 
the  Tokyo  Institute  of  Technology. 

His  technical  expertise  is  in 


the  areas  of  dynamic  systems,  in- 
strumentation, vibration,  and  bio- 
mechanics. He  is  internationally 
recognized  for  his  research  on  gy- 
roscopic systems.  His  work  on  the 
biomechanics  of  skiing  injury  has 
yielded  300  publications  as  well 
as  patents  in  the  U.S.,  Norway, 
Finland,  and  Sweden. 

Among  his  numerous  hon- 
ors. Mote  has  received  research 
fellowships  from  the  National  Sci- 
ence Foundation  and  from  the 
Royal  Norwegian  Council  for  Sci- 
entific and  Industrial  Research.  In 
197 1  the  University  of  Cahfomia, 
Berkeley  gave  him  its  Distin- 
guished Teacher  Award.  In  1988 
he  was  elected  to  the  National 
Academy  of  Engineering  in  the 
U.S.  and  was  awarded  the 
Humboldt  Prize  by  the  Federal 
Republic  of  Germany.  In  1997 
Mote  was  chosen  Honorary  Mem-

Mechanical  Engineers,  the  high- 
est award  bestowed  by  this  soci- 
ety, for  exemplary  accomplish- 
ments in  the  course  of  his  career. 

Mote  holds  B.S.  and  M.S. 
desrees  in  mechanical  ensineer- 
ing  and  a  Ph.D.  in  engineering  me- 
chanics, all  from  the  University  of

Alcohol-Free  Fun 


Eighty-eight  percent  of  all  college 
students,  including  those  under  the  legal 
drinking  age,  have  used  alcohol  and  44  per- 
cent had  engaged  in  binge  drinking  during 
the  two  weeks  prior  to  the  1997  survey  by 
The  Bacchus  and  Gamma  Peer  Education 
Network.  The  survey  also  found  that  binge 
drinkers  were  16  times  more  likely  than  non- 
binge  drinkers  to  miss  class,  damage  prop- 
erty and  get  injured. 

But  here  at  the  the  University  of 
Maryland,  planning  fun  alcohol-free  activi- 
ties on  weekends  is  a  priority.  Every  year  a 
"Spring  Party  Challenge"  encourages  stu- 
dent groups  to  throw  alcohol-free  parties. 
Organizers  of  the  best  party  get  $300  and 
two  runners-up  each  get  $100.  Some  of  the 


best  have  had  themes  centered  around  car- 
nivals, elementary  school  recess,  tropical 
islands  and  jazz. 

As  coordinator  of  "Weekends  at 
Maryland,"  Amy  Duhaime  plans  alcohol-free 
holiday  theme  parties,  bus  trips  to  nearby 
museums  and  sporting  events,  hiking  trips 
and  other  interesting  activities.  She  also 
serves  as  a  clearinghouse  for  all  weekend 
campus  activities,  providing  a  weekly  list  of 
weekend  events.  Duhaime  says  the  bus  trips 
have  gotten  rave  reviews. 

Other  off-campus  possibilities  for 
alcohol-free  fun  are  included  in  a  booklet 
called  Where  the  Good  Times  Are.  The  pub- 
lication is  produced  by  the  Washington  Area 


Drug  Prevention  Consortium  of  Higher  Educa- 
tion, consisting  of  13  institutions  of  higher  edu- 
cation in  the  Washington,  D.C.  area,  including 
the  University  of  Maryland,  American  Univer- 
sity, The  Catholic  University  of  America,  George 
Mason  University,  Georgetown  University  and 
others.  The  publication  lists  many  alcohol-free 
activities,  establishments  and  events  that  the 
area  has  to  offer  college  students,  such  as  gour- 
met dessert  and  coffee  houses;  billiards,  skat- 
ing, golfing  and  bowling  centers;  theaters;  parks; 
and  general  tourist  attractions. 

A  survey  done  by  the  University  of 
Maryland  shows  that  about  30  percent  of  stu- 
dents would  prefer  to  socialize  without  alcohol. 
Says  Grad-Lynch,  "We  do  everything  we  can  to 
support  this  30  percent" .

Halloween 


Halloween  has  been  and  will  al- 
ways be  a  day  for  tapping  into  that  split 
personality  of  yours.  Whether  it  involves 
dressing  up  as  a  space  alien,  a  she-devil, 
or  one  of  the  South  Park  kids  you  put  ef- 
fort into  and  become  that  personality. 
Once  the  outfit  is  complete,  it  is  the  actual 
destination  that  makes  or  brakes  the 
evening.  For  little  children  going  door  to 
door  begging  for  tooth-rotting  candy  will 
do,  but  for  college  students  it  involves 
music,  alcohol,  and  members  of  the  oppo- 
site sex. 

If  you  are  apart  of  the  large  Greek 
system  here  on  campus  then  a  fraternity 
party  or  two  will  do  the  "trick."  Delta  Tau 
Delta  and  Sigma  Chi  threw  two  large  Hal- 
loween parties.  One  had  a  band  with  tunes 


from  the  eighties  and  today  while  the  other 
one  had  it"s  house  lit  up  with  black  lights 
accenting  it's  techno/  alien  theme.  Many 
parties  were  also  running  wild  at  the  Knox 
Towers.  Knox  Boxes,  and  Guilford  Rd. 
Anywhere  you  went  involved  some  kind 
of  encounter  with  an  individual  scarier  than 
the  guy  who  sat  next  to  you  in  Bio  105  did. 

If  staying  on  campus  is  not  scary 
enough  for  you.  a  trip  into  DC  or  Balti- 
more will  surely  help  to  fulfil  your  need 
for  festive,  scary  fun.  Every  Halloween 
most  of  "M"  street  in  Georgetown  is 
blocked  off  and  seas  of  drunken  people 
dressed  in  crazy  costumes  fill  the  bars 
drinking,  singing,  and  frightening  one 
another.  You  can  see  waves  of  people 
stumble  from  one  bar  to  another  singing 


songs  like  Michael  Jackson's  "Thriller" 
and  "The  Monster  Mash"  throughout  the 
night.  Fells  Point  in  Baltimore  is  also  a 
great  place  to  go,  for  its  bars  are  crammed 
with  loud  and  oddly  dressed  people  as 
well.  They  are  decorated  accordingly  and 
have  loud  music  to  fill  the  packed  streets 
and  allies. 

Full  moon  or  not,  Halloween  here 
at  Maryland  is  a  perfect  opportunity  for 
students  to  let  down  their  hair  or  put  on  a 
wig  and  dress  up  like  when  they  were  chil- 
dren again.  The  difference  between  Hal- 
loween now  and  when  we  were  children 
is  instead  of  going  door  to  door  to  see 
who  can  get  the  most  candy,  now  we  jump 
from  bar  to  bar  and  party  to  party,  to  see 
who  can  have  the  most  fun.

Good  Morning  America  Visits  UMD 


At  7:00  am  on  Friday,  Octo- 
ber 23rd,  in  43  degree  weather,  about 
500  students,  faculty  and  staff  were 
at  the  east  end  of  McKeldin  Mall  wait- 
ing for  the  "Good  Morning  America" 
taping  to  start. 

The  program  opened  witha 
shot  of  Memorial  Chapel  and  focused 
on  prosepective  students  and  what 
goes  into  choosing  the  right  college. 
ABC  producers  sought  a  major  pub- 
lic university  that  had  diverse  student 


programs,  a  diverse  student  body  and 
opportunities  for  eye-cactching  tele- 
vision footage.  Segment  correspon- 
dent Bob  Woodruff  said  Good  Morn- 
ing America  chose  to  broadcast  from 
campus  because  of  its  academic  repu- 
tation. 

Hosts  Lisa  McRee  and  Kevin 
Newman  anchored  the  two-hour 
broadcast  from  rocking  chairs  at  the 
end  of  the  fountain.  ABC  weather 
forcaster  Spencer  Christian  will  host 


sgments  from  Byrd  Stadium  where  the 
marching  band,  members  of  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  Sorority,  Inc.  and  an  en- 
semble from  the  dance  program  will 
all  preporm  for  a  live  national  audi- 
ence. 

The  broadcast  is  expected  to 
increase  insterest  in  the  univerity  from 
across  the  country.  Undergraduate 
admissions  believes  the  show  was  an 
excellent  public  relations  move  for 
campus.

Traveling  Across  Campus 


It's  8  am  and  you  are  waking 
up  from  a  restful  night's  sleep  of  3 
hours.  Unfortunately,  since  the  ever- 
popular  Shuttle  UM  fails  to  run  dur- 
ing the  day,  you  must  find  alternate 
transportation  to  and  from  classes. 
Walking  would  seem  to  be  the  logical 
choice,  but  some  people  think  there 
are  better  ways.  Skateboarding, 
roUerblading,  driving,  bicycling,  and 
even  unicycling  are  some  of  the  re- 
sponses we  have  encountered. 

As  most  have  experienced. 


driving  to  class  can  take  more  time 
than  it  saves.  Here  at  Maryland, 
pedestrians  rule  the  campus,  and 
waiting  at  the  many  stop  signs  and 
crosswalks  on  campus  drive  can 
take  an  eternity.  Once  you  arrive 
at  your  parking  lot  or  garage  of 
choice,  the  hunt  for  a  good  spot 
is  on.  Anything  goes  to  avoid  the 
dreaded  lot  4-even  risking  an  all 
too  frequent  parking  ticket.  Those 
campus  parking  tickets  seem 
harmless  but  you  had  better  keep 
track  of  them,  you  could  rack  up 


a  steep  bill. 

Bicyclists  zoom  through 
campus  seemingly  ready  to  crash 
into  unsuspecting  walkers.  Skate- 
boarding and  roUerblading  are  two 
of  the  more  challenging  modes  of 
transportation,  especially  with  pe- 
destrians crowding  the  walkways. 
Walking  is  the  most  favored  method 
of  travel  around  campus.  It  may  be 
a  huge  school,  but  students  are  al- 
ways sure  to  recognize  a  few  friends 
walking  around  during  the  day.

Terps  Soar  at  Sports 


University  of  Maryland  today 
achieved  one  of  the  major  department  goals 
of  the  Deborah  A.  Yow  era  by  earning  inclu- 
sion in  the  top  20  of  the  Sears  Directors'  Cup, 
the  national  Division  I  all-sports  ranking. 

In  final  standings  released  by  the 
National  Association  of  Collegiate  Directors 
of  Athletics,  the  Terrapins'  athletic  program 
was  ranked  tied  for  19th  out  of  306  Division 
I  schools.  It  is  the  highest  finish  for  the  Terps 
since  the  rankings  began  five  years  ago,  and 
Maryland's  38-position  jump  from  the  No. 
57  spot  in  the  final  1994-95  rankings  is  the 
greatest  in  that  time  period  by  a  school  not 
previously  ranked  in  the  top  25.  The  Terps' 
previous  best  was  48th,  in  1993-94. 

"This  is  exciting  news  for  every- 
one associated  with  the  University  of 
Maryland's  athletic  program  —  student-ath- 
letes, coaches,  staff,  alumni  and  boosters," 
said  Yow,  who  is  beginning  her  fifth  year  as 


director  of  athletics.  "Reaching  the  top  25 
has  been  a  long-standing  goal  for  all  of 
us,  and  today  we  can  take  pride  in  the  fact 
that  despite  budgetary  obstacles,  we  main- 
tained our  focus  and  achieved  as  a  depart- 
ment what  we  set  out  to  do.  I  can  also  say 
that  while  we  are  extremely  proud  of  today's 
ranking,  not  one  person  in  our  athletic  fam- 
ily is  satisfied  with  where  we  are  or  inter- 
ested in  resting  on  our  laurels.  Our  aim  is 
to  keep  progressing  to  the  point  we  be- 
come a  fixture  in  the  top  10.  We'll  settle  for 
nothing  less." 

Since  the  end  of  Yow's  first  full 
year  as  athletic  director,  when  the  Terps 
finished  57th  in  the  Sears  Directors'  Cup, 
Maryland  has  made  steady  progress  in  the 
rankings.  The  Terps  jumped  21  spots  (to 
36th)  in  Yow's  second  year,  then  climbed 
four  more  spots  (to  No.  32)  after  her  third 
year.  Today's  ranking  reflects  a  13-spot 
jump  from  a  year  ago  and  a  38-position 


climb  since  her  first  year  at  Maryland. 

All  told,  Maryland  scored  points 
in  1 1  of  its  24  sports:  women's  lacrosse  (100), 
men's  lacrosse  (80),  men's  basketball  (30), 
field  hockey  (20),  men's  soccer  (20),  volley- 
ball (20),  gymnastics  (20),  women's  soccer 
(10),  wrestling  (10),  men's  swinmiing  (10), 
women's  tennis  (10). 

"This  ranking  shows  we  are  headed 
in  the  right  direction  in  putting  together  a 
consistently  successful  and  broad-based 
program,"  says  Yow.  "Our  aim  is  to  provide 
all  of  our  programs  the  tools  necessary  to 
compete  at  the  highest  level.  Only  then  will 
we  fully  reahze  the  University  of  Maryland's 
true  potential." 

Said  field  hockey  coach  Missy 
Meharg:  "This  is  serious  evidence  of  a  per- 
formance plan.  Debbie  Yow's  perspective  on 
this  has  challenged  us  all  to  perform."

Friends,  Fun,  and  Memories 


Friends  are  what  make  our  years  in  col- 
lege the  best  years  of  our  lives.  From  late 
nights  sitting  around  talking  or  going  out 
to  parties  they  have  shared  so  much  with 
us.  They  are  the  ones  who  already  heard 
the  stories  you  tell,  but  laugh  at  them  any- 
way. Sometimes,  it  seems  aO  of  your  per- 
sonalities have  combined  into  one  over 


the  past  years.  You  cry  together, 
laugh  together,  and  can  always  pre- 
dict the  other's  next  move.  Now  the 
time  has  come  for  the  fun  years  of  col- 
lege to  end,  and  everyone  to  move  on 
with  their  lives.  You  want  to  panic. 
You  don't  want  to  lose  these  invalu- 
able people  who  have  filled  your  life. 


Then,  you  realize  you  don't  have  to. 
Memories  of  these  years  are  numberous 
and  invaluable.  Things  you  see  or  hear 
every  day  will  remind  you  of  your 
firiends.  That's  how  they  will  brighten 
your  day,  even  though  they  can't  be 
there.  Never  forget  the  memories  of 
your  friends.

The  Route 


Standing  on  the  comer  of  Knox 
Road  and  Baltimore  Avenue,  I  breathe  in 
the  faint  scent  of  onions  and  peppers  fry- 
ing on  a  grill,  of  bubbling  mozzarella  cheese 
melting  in  the  oven  at  Ratsie's.  I  hear  some 
faint  C.C.R.  playing  around  the  comer  and 
a  deep,  pounding  bass  on  the  street.  Stu- 
dents of  all  ages  pass  by  me;  some  are 
headed  home  to  a  tiny  little  shack  on 
Dickinson  and  others  are  off  to  their  eight- 
hour  shift  at  the  Fe.  Behind  me,  two  fresh- 
man girls  gawk  and  giggle  at  the  fratemity 
guys  who  are  on  their  way  to  happy  hour  at 
R.J.  Bentley's.  And  then,  smoky,  pungent 
fumes  encircle  me  and  the  crunching  grind 
of  shifting  gears  overpowers  the  pounding 
bass  and  I  am  left  standing  in  a  pool  of  real- 
ity as  the  delivery  truck  speeds  away.  I  am 


standing  on  the  comer  of  the  Route.  Route 
1,  that  is. 

Route  1  offers  all  any  college  stu- 
dent craves  everything  body,  mind,  and 
spirit  altering.  Vendors  on  the  Route  pro- 
vide access  to  the  freshmen  15  via  eateries 
like  Cluck-U  and  Danny's.  The  Bagel  Place 
is  hoppin'  around  lunchtime,  the  Smoothie 
King  is  the  healthy  way  to  go,  (and  they 
have  good  service!)  And  what  would  any 
cool  college  town  be  without  a  ReRun  and 
an  outlet  like  Adidas?  Apparently,  not  Col- 
lege Park.  From  poetry  readings  to  watch- 
ing a  Terp  basketball  game  on  the  big 
screen,  the  activities  on  Route  1  enrich  the 
mind  and  the  spirit.  So  besides  eating,  shop- 
ping, and  relaxing,  what  else  is  there  to  do? 


Well,  you  could  get  your  bike  fixed,  your 
film  processed  in  one  hour,  or  go  out  for  a 
night  on  the  town.  Route  I's  nightly  social 
gatherings  provide  the  perfect  experience  for 
one's  21"  birthday  bar  tour.  Terrapin  Sta- 
tion, R.J.  Bentley's,  Comerstone,  Santa  Fe, 
and  the  Loft,  render  music,  fun  drinks,  and 
good  times  for  all  of  those  of  age. 

All  that  packed  into  a  few  blocks  in 
a  small  college  town  on  the  edge  of  Mary- 
land. These  few  blocks  that  are  the  perfect 
way  to  start  the  weekend  on  Thursday  night 
and  are  only  a  few  steps  away  from  campus. 
This  huge  mix-mash  of  some  thirty  thousand 
students  share  at  least  two  things  in  com- 
mon: the  University  of  Maryland  at  College 
Park  and  the  Route.  Route  1,  that  is.

Breaking  Free 


College  is  supposed  to  be  fun, 
right?  We  are  here  to  study  a  chosen  field 
and  obtain  a  degree,  but  besides  that  there 
are  memories  to  be  made,  hearts  to  be  bro- 
ken, and  a  nightlife  to  be  lived.  Some  of  us 
get  sick  of  doing  all  that  in  the  same  town 
and  on  the  same  campus  so....  let's  break 
free! 

One  of  the  cheaper  and  easier  op- 
tions for  college  students  is  a  road  trip.  The 
open  road  creates  open  possibilities  for  end- 


less good  times  and  fun.  Sports  fans?  Try 
driving  to  the  next  away  game  or  getting  tick- 
ets to  see  one  of  the  nearby  professional 
teams.  Club  frequenter?  Let  the  metro  whisk 
you  away  to  D.C.  's  wide  selection  of  swing, 
jazz,  and  rave  clubs.  Like  to  brave  the  trails? 
Visit  Great  Falls  in  Maryland  or  Virginia  for 
beautiful  scenery  and  some  fun  hiking. 
Searching  for  a  wild  party?  Look  up  some 
friends  at  neighboring  schools  like  Ameri- 
can, George  Mason,  Loyola,  or  Towson. 
Want  to  get  away  from  the  four  walls  of  the 


classroom?  D.C.'s  political  scene  and 
Baltimore's  business  industry  offer  many 
internships  for  the  asking.  Ski  bunny?  Hit 
the  slopes  at  Whitetail,  Wisp,  or  Ski  Liberty. 
Close-by  cities,  neighboring  schools,  and  the 
surrounding  outdoors  let  students  get  off 
campus  and  out  of  College  Park  for  new  and 
different  experiences.  Breaking  free  brings 
a  touch  of  the  university  life  to  the  outside 
world  and  gives  students  to  meet  new  people, 
find  better  times,  and  live  an  even  better 
nightUfe!

Skipping  School 


LaPlata  Beach?  What  college 
campus  has  a  beach  on  it?  Only  at  the 
University  of  Maryland,  College  Park 
where  year-round  the  volleyball  court  is 
set  up  for  students  to  play  anytime  they 
please.  Oh,  don't  forget  our  pools,  both 
inside  and  out,  where  often  you  will  find 
kayak  or  two  paddling  down  the  lane. 
With  these  options  who  needs  to  go  to 
class.  Classes?  Oh  yeah,  the  reason  our 
parents  originally  sent  us  here.  Mary- 
land has  made  every  effort  to  keep  us 
around  campus  (and  out  of  classes)  as 
long  as  possible  with  as  many  activities 
as  they  could  find.  Do  you  remember 
your  first  tour  of  campus?  McKeldin  was 
the  largest  mall,  measuring  to  beat  out 
the  competition  right  down  to  the  last 
inch.  Just  the  more  room  for  the  frisbees 


to  fly,  dogs  to  run,  and  friends  to  sit  and  chat? 
Whatever  it  takes  to  keep  out  of  the  classroom. 

For  those  who  would  rather  go  out 
than  sleep  in  Cole  Field  House  for  tickets,  you 
could  catch  the  Maryland  Basketball  Games  at 
the  Hoff.  Although  those  sixteen  hours  of 
sleeping  upright  just  to  see  a  game  were  fun, 
someone  had  the  idea  to  make  it  easier  for  the 
students.  Movies  and  documentaries  would 
play  at  other  times  to  entertain  students,  while 
the  theatres  in  town  would  entice  us  with  re- 
duced admissions  to  their  shows.  For  those 
who  wanted  to  cuddle  up  with  a  loved  one,  or 
just  too  lazy  to  sit  in  the  theatre.  Route  1  offered 
a  multitude  of  video  rental  stores  where  you 
could  find  your  own  movie. 

Among  the  video  stores.  Route  1  was 


the  quickest  stop  to  find  your  own  personal 
Cheers.  Everybody  knew  you  name  because 
you  spend  all  of  your  Thursday  nights  there, 
your  Friday  aftemoons,  and  Saturday  nights. 
The  battle  of  the  drink  specials  would  win 
your  attention  until  you  found  the  spot  where 
you  and  all  of  your  friends  met  ritually.  Re- 
member the  Cellar?  Oh,  you  mean  the  sta- 
tion, but  we're  too  old  for  there  now.  Do  you 
remember  the  first  time  you  stepped  off  Route 
1  and  onto  Knox  road  to  declare  your  new 
found  Cheers?  Don't  forget  all  the  fun  you 
had  sitting  out  front  making  fun  of  the  fresh- 
men who  walked  past  fraternity  row,  dying  to 
find  a  party. 

With  all  the  things  to  do  while  at 
Maryland  it's  amazing  that  we  actually  make 
it  to  our  classes  at  all.

Saying  Goodbye 


"I  just  don't  like  the  way  it  feels,  I 
mean,  sure  I  know  I  have  to.  but  I  don't  like 
to,"  said  George  Frick  as  we  \\  alked  across 
the  mall.  "It's  one  of  those  things  that  people 
get  all  worked  up  about,  and  I  don't  want 
to.  I  pretend  it'll  never  happen  to  me.  and 
when  it  does.  I'll  just  deal  with  it  then."  It's 
one  thing  we  will  all  ha\ e  to  do.  w hether 
it's  someone  we  just  met.  or  someone  we've 
known  for  years.  Commencement  is  ap- 
proaching and  we  all  are  going  to  have  to 
say  goodbye.  (Wliat  else  do  you  think  this 
was  about?)  UTien  we  left  the  dorms,  we 


struggled  to  keep  in  touch  with  our  old  floor 
When  we  mov  ed  off  to  Knox  or  out  to  the 
Towers,  we  made  the  effort  to  call  or  meet 
people  on  campus  and  in  between  classes. 
Now  that  graduation  is  here,  we  are  faced 
with  the  hardest  task,  keeping  touch.  Col- 
lege here  has  made  such  an  impact  on  our 
social  li\  es  that  the  memories  we  made  w  ill 
be  the  toughest  ones  to  recapture  in  any  other 
place,  but  as  educated  adults,  we  strive  to 
beat  the  circumstances. 

Take  vour  last  walk  around  the 


campus,  and  rub  Testudo's  nose  just  one  last 
time.  Eat  at  the  dining  halls,  complaining 
how  horrible  it  is  the  w  hole  time.  Go  through 
the  Zoo  Psych  building  and  get  lost  all  over 
again... that  is  if  you  e\er  figured  it  out  in 
the  first  place.  Lasih;  walk  the  Union  and 
its  endless  corridors  and  remember  how  it  is 
now.  Soon  it'll  all  be  changed  and  the  only 
thing  you'll  ha\  e  to  remember  it  how  it  was 
is  your  memories  and  the  mark  it  left  in  your 
life.

Food  for  Thought 


Picture  this. . ..  You  are  sitting  up- 
stairs at  home  in  your  bedroom.  Five  thirty 
rolls  around  and  your  mom  yells  up  that 
dinner  is  ready.  You  venture  down  the 
stairs,  through'the  hall,  pass  the  living 
room,  and  wander  into  the  kitchen  filled 
with  the  heavenly  scent  of  lasagna,  for  the 
second  time  in  one  week.  "Can't  we  eat 
something  different,  somewhere  different 
tonight?"  you  ask.  "Of  course  not,"  your 
mother  responds.  "We  don't  have  the 
money  to  eat  out  whenever  you  feel  like  it. 
And  besides,  you  liked  this  lasagna  last 
Thursday."  Someone  get  me  out  of  here! 

Now,  picture  this....  You  are  sit- 
ting on  the  third  floor  of  Elkton  hall  in  your 
dorm  room.  Six  o'clock  rolls  around  and 


your  roommate  yells  from  next  door  that 
you'd  better  get  to  the  dining  hall  soon 
since  it  closes  at  seven.  You  venture  into 
the  hall,  take  the  elevator  down,  walk 
through  the  courtyard  and  into  the  dining 
hall.  Aromas  of  pizza,  deli  sandwiches,  and 
spaghetti  lay  heavily  on  the  air.  Pizza,  deli 
sandwiches,  and  spaghetti  for  the  third 
time  in  two  weeks.  You  look  at  your  room- 
mates and  ask  if  they  want  to  order  Papa 
John's  instead.  "Are  you  crazy?!"  they 
answer,  "We're  saving  our  last  ten  bucks 
so  we  can  go  out  tonight!"  Sound  famil- 
iar? 

You  see,  eating  as  a  college  stu- 
dent isn't  always  all  that  different  from  eat- 
ing at  home.   Let's  use  some  logic:  when 


do  you  go  home?  Thanksgiving?  Holi- 
days? Spring  break?  Of  course  we  will  be 
babied  with  our  favorite  foods  for  the  few 
days  we  are  home.  And,  after  we  are 
gone....  yikes!  I  feel  bad  for  the  rest  of  the 
family.  Besides,  it  doesn't  have  to  be 
Denton  dining  hall  food  that  you  eat. 
There's  dinner  to  be  had  at  Ellicott,  South 
Campus,  and  the  Union.  For  those  who 
live  off  campus  or  in  South  Hill  apartments, 
there  are  endless  possibilities  for  the  mi- 
crowave and  coupon  clipping.  For  the 
very  few  who  wander  into  the  world  of  sit- 
down  dining,  there  is  Adele's  in  the  Union 
and  a  few  of  the  local  eateries  are  restau- 
rants by  day  and  bars  by  night.  Whether 
eating  on  campus  or  off,  keep  in  mind  that 
the  options  are  greater  than  home.

An  "Ivy  League  Experience"  at  Bargain  Prices 


The  University  of  Maryland's  Hon- 
ors Program  got  another  feather  in  its  cap 
as  U.S.  News  and  World  Report's  12th  an- 
nual guide  to  "America's  Best  Colleges" 
focused  its  spotlight  on  places  where  out- 
standing students  can  get  "a  top-quality  edu- 
cation at  a  bargain  price."  "The  best  honors 
programs  offer  an  Ivy  League  experience  at 
less  than  half  the  price,"  the  magazine  pro- 
claimed in  the  lead  to  the  story  about  hon- 
ors programs  at  Maryland,  the  University 
of  Georgia  and  the  University  of  Texas  at 
Austin.  Among  the  hundreds  of  honors  pro- 
grams offered  by  universities  across  the 
United  States,  "the  best  are  found  at  large 
state-supported  universities,"  the  magazine 
said.  "We  have  worked  tirelessly  over  the 
past  years  to  construct  an  academic  program 
in  Honors  that  is  both  rigorous  and  imagi- 
native," said  Sandy  Mack,  director  of  Uni- 


versity Honors  at  Maryland.  "The  U.S.  News 
article  confirms  what  our  students  are  tell- 
ing us:  we  are  succeeding." 

Students  are  sending  that  message 
in  several  ways,  including  comments  from 
several  in  the  U.S.  News  article,  which  men- 
tions Nurit  Schmerler,  who  chose  Maryland 
over  Columbia;  .lennifer  Wolbransky,  who 
turned  down  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
in  favor  of  College  Park;  and  Luke  Currano, 
who  picked  Maryland  in  spite  of  an  offer 
from  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technol- 
ogy- 

Currano,  a  mechanical  engineer 
participating  in  the  Honors  Program's  inno- 
vative Gemstone  program  with  students  from 
a  variety  of  disciplines,  said  he  and  his  Gem- 
stone  teammates  plan  to  propose  "something 


new  that  no  one  else  has  thought  of  when 
they  report  on  their  four-year  mass-transit 
project. 

"The  quality  of  Honors  students  has 
soared  over  the  past  few  years,"  Mack  notes. 
The  middle  half  of  this  year's  freshman  Hon- 
ors students  had  SAT  scores  ranging  from 
1360  to  1460,  on  par  with  mid-range  stu- 
dents at  Penn,  Columbia,  Brown  and 
Baltimore's  Johns  Hopkins  University. 
"These  are  the  greatest  young  people  to  work 
with,"  Mack  said. 

As  for  the  bargain  part  of  the  equa- 
tion, resident  tuition  at  Maryland  this  year 
is  $4,699,  and  non-resident  tuition  is 
$  II  ,22 1 ,  compared  with  $30,000  or  more  at 
the  nation's  most  selective  private  institu- 
tions.

A  Home  Away  From  Home 


There  are  ways  to  ease  the  tran- 
sition from  home  to  college  life  and  mak- 
ing a  dorm  room  more  like  home  is  one  of 
them.  One  of  the  first  things  students  do 
when  the  come  to  Maryland,  is  get  to- 
gether with  their  roomates  to  design  and 
decorate  their  dorm  room.  The  first  per- 
son to  arrive  in  the  room  assigned  to  them 
in  the  dorms  sees  four  pale,  empty, 
cinderblock  walls.  It  doesn't  look  too  in- 
viting, but  with  a  little  time  and  creativity 
you  can  make  your  own  little  comfortable 
place. 

Julie  Davis  decorated  her  dresser 
with  photos  of  her  family  and  golden  re- 
triever. She  also  brought  a  stuffed  animal 
resembling  her  dog,  a  gift  from  her  grand- 
mother.  "The  photos  are  on  my  dresser, 


in  a  place  where  I  can  see  them  everyday. 
I  have  a  great  relationship  with  my  family, 
and  the  pictures  help  me  feel  closer  to  them 
and  less  homesick,"  said  Davis,  who  like 
many  new  students  also  had  colleges  of 
high  school  friends  decorating  the  walls. 

Peter  Kang,  a  journalism  major, 
helped  start  a  town  paper.  He  was  sad  to 
leave  his  publication,  but  was  excited  when 
his  parents  started  sending  him  copies  of 
the  paper.  Says  Kang,  "I  was  thrilled  to  be 
able  to  watch  my  hometown  publication 
grow  and  keep  up  with  what  was  going  on 
at  home".  Like  most  students,  Kang  had  a 
very  busy  schedule  and  had  a  hard  time 
keeping  in  touch  with  his  parents  and  tell- 
ing them  what  was  going  on  around  cam- 
pus. Kang  followed  his  parents'  idea  and 


got  them  a  subscription  to  the  Diamond- 
back.  They  could  learn  what  was  going  on 
in  Maryland  without  even  speaking  to  Pe- 
ter. 

Their  are  many  thing  you  can  do 
to  make  your  dorm  room  more  'homely'. 
You  could  hang  tapestries,  posters,  cur- 
tains, purchase  cooridinating  bed  linens, 
or  carpets.  But  just  remember,  dorm  rooms 
are  small.  Be  sure  to  bring  only  what  is 
necessary  to  avoid  an  overcroweded  and 
cramped  room.  Many  students  also  rent 
refridgerators  to  make  their  rooms  seem 
more  like  home.  With  a  little  creativity, 
your  once  plain  and  empty  dorm  room  can 
turn  into  a  comfortable  place  to  study,  re- 
lax, and  a  great  place  to  unwind  with  your 
new  friends.

Party?  Maybe  Not. 


Throughout  your  high  school  years, 
you  paint  an  elaborate  image  of  what  you 
believe  college  to  be.  The  image  resembles 
something  like  a  huge  party.  Loud  music 
constantly  blaring  in  the  background  of  ev- 
erywhere you  go.  A  million  kegs  scattered 
across  campus. 

It  is  not  until  you  come  to  UMD 
that  your  exciting  little  image  is  shattered. 
You  learn  there  is  a  rule  banning  kegs  on 
campus.  Within  the  dormitories,  there  are 
quiet  hours  forcing  you  to  turn  you  music 
down  after  certain  hours.  With  no  where  else 
to  turn  you  look  to  the  bars,  to  remember 
that  you  have  16  months  until  you  can  le- 
gally patronize  one  of  those  establishments. 
Therefore,  your  long  and  grueling  search  for 
the  perfect  fake  id  begins. 

After  hunting  for  weeks,  possibly 


months  you  get  you  hands  on  some  excuse 
of  an  id.  You  are  still  not  put  to  ease.  Every 
trip  to  the  bar  initials  much  memorization. 
As  you  quickly  try  to  remember  all  of  the 
information  on  your  id,  your  stomach  fills 
with  butterflies.  A  denial  could  be  sheer 
embarrassment.  Just  as  you  proudly  recite 
your  false  information  to  the  bouncer,  a 
friend  walks  by  calling  you  by  your  "real" 
name.  The  buncer,  whoyou  just  gave  a  dif- 
ferent name  to,  smirks  and  hands  you  back 
your  ID. 

As  quickly  as  you  can  you  walk 
away-  hoping  that  no  one  you  know  saw 
your  tragic  denial.  You  begin  to  wonder: 
what  is  so  great  about  those  hot,  cramped 
places  anyway?  You  can  barely  move  around 
enough  to  mingle,  and  rarely  leave  without 
a  cigarette  bum  somewhere  on  your  body. 


It  is  a  given  that  at  some  point  within  the 
night  beer  will  be  spilt  on  you.  most  likely 
on  your  brand  new  pants.  And  we  cannot 
forget  the  unannounced  visits  from  the  liquor 
board  that  scare  everyone  half  to  death. 

In  the  end,  we  discover  that  college 
is  just  not  what  we  had  thought  it  was  cracked 
up  to  be.  We  never  realized  the  fiin  we  would 
have  talking  until  all  hours  of  the  morning 
and  laughing  when  friends  who  had,  at  least 
for  that  night,  managed  to  convince  some- 
one that  they  were,  if  fact  2 1 .  The  reality  of 
college  is  a  lot  different  than  how  you  first 
pictured  it.  But  you  realize  that  college 
doesn't  have  to  be  like  Animal  House  for 
you  to  have  a  good  time  and  make  great 
memories.

This    Is    Definitely   Not   High    School 


Professors  probably  won't  tell  you 
which  part  of  the  lecture  is  most  important 
or  what's  going  to  be  on  the  test,  and  there 
generally  will  be  less  interaction  with  the 
professor  during  class.  You  will  be  ex- 
pected to  learn  more,  and  learn  more  diffi- 
cult things.  You're  definitely  going  to  need 
to  study  harder  and  smarter.  And  since  you 
or  your  parents  are  paying  for  this,  you  re- 
ally better  pay  attention  and  not  waste  that 
money.  No,  you're  definitely  not  in  high 
school  anymore,  but  with  a  few  time  man- 
agement and  study  tips,  you'll  do  fine. 

Firts,  organize  your  time  on  paper, 
using  a  weekly  schedule,  to-do  lists  and 
similar  aids.  Know  your  "prime  time"  —  the 
time  you  are  most  productive  -  and  sched- 
ule the  most  difficult  work  for  then.  Spend 
enough  time  studying.  For  math,  science, 
computer  science  and  language  classes, 
expect  to  spend  7  to  10  hours  per  week  per 
course  studying,  for  history,  English,  so- 
cial science  classes  and  others,  expect  to 
spend  3  to  6  hours  per  week  per  course 
studying.  Take  lecture  notes  on  8  1/2  x  1 1 
paper,  and  within  24  hours  of  the  lecture 


prepare  your  notes  for  review  by  writing 
cues  in  the  left-hand  margin,  personal  notes 
in  the  right-hand  margin,  and  by  giving  em- 
phasis to  important  points  with  underlin- 
ing, brackets,  arrows  or  asterisks.  At  the 
end  of  each  section  of  notes,  write  a  sum- 
mary of  key  points.  Notes  should  be  re- 
viewed within  24  hours  after  taking  them, 
before  the  next  class,  at  the  end  of  the  week, 
and  several  times  prior  to  the  exam.  When 
reviewing  textbooks,  use  the  SQ3R  method 
(survey  the  material,  ask  yourself  ques- 
tions based  on  the  survey,  read  the  mate- 
rial to  answer  your  questions,  recite  impor- 
tant points,  and  review).  As  you  are  re- 
viewing, ask  yourself  questions  about  the 
material.  Produce  essay  and  other  types  of 
questions  that  could  appear  on  a  test.  Cre- 
ate study  aids  for  comprehensive  review. 
These  aids  can  take  the  form  of  summaries, 
charts,  maps,  outlines  or  index  card 
prompts.  Form  study  groups  to  clarify  ma- 
terial and  review  for  exams.  Connect  with 
your  professors  and  teaching  assistants  to 
ask  questions  about  lecture  content,  future 
and  past  exams,  etc.  Review  past  exams  — 
those  you've  taken  as  well  as  those  taken 


by  others  in  previous  years.  Analyze  ques- 
tions you  missed  and  plan  new  study  strat- 
egies for  the  next  exam.  Take  advantage  of 
campus  resources  such  as  learning/study 
skills  centers,  writing  centers,  math  tutor- 
ing, counseling  centers,  career  centers,  etc. 
Use  the  summer  prior  to  college  to  improve 
academic  skills  by  taking  courses  in  read- 
ing comprehension,  math,  writing,  etc. 

In  high  school  sometimes  you 
could  just  'get  by'  with  some  help  from  your 
friends.  You  missed  a  class  here  and  then, 
but  chances  are  your  parents  wouldn't  let 
you  stay  home  if  you  had  anything  less 
than  pnemonia.  While  at  college,  you  are 
(for  the  most  part)  independent,  and  are 
trusted  to  make  wise  deicisons.  It's  a  lot  of 
fun  to  go  out  to  the  bars  on  Tuesday 
nights,  or  to  stay  up  all  night  with  your 
friends  laughing  and  watching  movies.  But 
the  night  before  a  9:00  am  exam  is  probably 
not  the  best  time  for  that.  So  use  just  some 
of  these  helpful  study  tips  to  improve  your 
grades  and  impress  your  parents.  Just  re- 
member the  most  important  study  tip:  don't 
forget  to  show  up  at  class.

The  Fabled  "Freshman  15" 


According  to  the  National  College 
Youth  Risk  Behavior  Survey,  twenty  per- 
cent of  college  students  are  overweight  and 
40  percent  are  attempting  to  lose  weight. 
What  are  these  statistics  saying  about 
weight  trends  on  campus? 

According  to  Lori  Wiersema,  a  nu- 
tritionist at  the  University  of  Maryland's 
Health  Center,  the  amount  of  weight  the  av- 
erage college  freshman  will  gain  has  risen 
from  5  to  10  pounds  to  10  to  15  pounds.  She 
says  that  students  are  gaining  excess  weight 
because  they  use  food  late  at  night  for  rec- 
reational or  social  purposes.  "Students  will 
often  eat  late  at  night  while  visiting  with 
friends  to  avoid  studying,  not  because  they 


are  hungry,"  Wiersema  said. 

Wiersema's  advice  for  avoiding  the 
dreaded  "freshman  15"  is  simple:  Keep  up 
with  the  physical  activity  that  you  did  in 
high  school,  or  at  least  replace  it  with  some 
other  type  of  physical  activity,  walk  to  class 
instead  of  getting  a  ride  or  taking  the  shuttle 
(do  you  really  need  a  ride  to  Jimenez  from 
the  dorms?),  skip  desserts  and  excess 
breads  at  meal  times.  Try  to  cut  down  on 
high  calorie  drinks  such  as  soda  and  juice 
(avoid  the  32-ounce  cups  and  learn  to  drink 
smaller  beverage  portions),  avoid  fried 
foods,  take  advantage  of  the  salad  bar  where 
there  are  many  low-fat  food  selections  such 
as  fresh  vegetables,  fruit  and  protein 


sources,  eat  frequently  but  in  small 
amounts,  don't  skip  breakfeast,  it  really  is 
the  most  important  meal  of  the  day  (eating 
low  fat  protien  and  starches  helps  increase 
the  body's  metabolic  rate  and  helps  control 
weight  gain ),  and  lower  your  intake  of  alco- 
hol  and  be  aware  of  the  late  night 
"munchies"  that  usually  occur  after  a  night 
of  drinking. 

It  is  possible  to  graduate  from  col- 
lege with  the  same  figure  (or  something 
close  to  it),  that  you  had  when  you  first 
came  here.  All  it  takes  is  a  little  effort  and 
some  awareness.  Just  plan  a  routine  where 
you  eat  healthy  and  exercise  regularly  (like 
every  week  after  happy  hour).

The  College  of  Agriculture  and  Natural  Resources  congratulates  their  graduates  who 
will  be  working  on  a  myriad  of  important  issues.  They  will  be  touching  issues  of  whether  we 
are  providing  a  safe  and  plentiful  food  supply,  producing  profitable  plant  and  animal  products, 
and  respecting  the  environment.  The  college's  newest  graduates  will  also  work  on  improving 
economic  competitiveness  in  world  markets,  developing  new  systems  in  engineering  for  natural 
resources  and  biology,  and  improving  the  health  and  nutrition  of  humans  and  animals.  Con- 
sequently, our  Maryland  graduates  will  take  strides  at  making  the  world  a  better  place  to  live. 

Under  the  leadership  and  commitment  of  Dean  Thomas  Fretz,  the  college  has  an  open- 
minded  vision  of  entering  the  twenty  first  century.  After  joining  forces  with  the  Maryland 
Cooperative  Extension  and  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Stations,  the  college  of  Agriculture 
has  become  one  united  forced  that  is  committed  and  dedicated  to  serving  students  in  the  best 
possible  way. 


Many  new  programs  have  been  developed  to  improve  the  quality  of  education.  Thus, 
quality  faculty,  programs,  and  facilities  have  all  been  improved  within  the  college.  Programs 
such  as  Environmental  Science  and  Policy  have  been  added  and  the  college  leads  the  univer- 
sity in  submission  of  patents  and  the  generation  of  royalties.  Other  programs  of  study  include.

When  the  School  of  Architecture  opened  its  doors  in  1967,  its  founders  had  the  fore- 
sight to  plan  for  the  future.  Along  with  the  establishment  of  the  school,  the  construction  of  its 
own  facilities,  resources  were  set  aside  for  the  procurement  for  an  architectural  library  that 
today  ranks  among  the  top  in  the  nation.  Coupled  with  the  National  Trust  for  Historic  Preser- 
vation Library,  virtually  anything  on  the  topic  of  architecture  is  easily  accessible.  Also  in  the 
School  is  the  Elizabeth  Alley  Visual  Resource  Collection  which  is  one  of  the  best  teaching 
collections  of  slides  and  visual  materials  available  nationally. 

The  School  of  Architecture  offers  a  four  year  imdergraduate  program  which  mini- 
mizes the  time  required  to  complete  the  curriculum  and  leads  to  a  Bachelor  of  Science  de- 
gree. The  graduate  program  leads  to  a  professional  degree  of  Master  in  Architecture.  The 
program  is  uniquely  small  with  some  twenty  faculty  and  two  hundred  students  in  the  large 
university  and  one  of  the  nation's  largest  and  metropolitan  centers  and  historic  regions.  The 
people  who  study  in  this  school  come  from  vastly  different  backgrounds  at  different  stages 
of  life  maturity.  This  enhances  the  program,  as  the  study  of  architecture  includes  the  sharing 
of  past  experiences  and  developing  knowledge  as  it  is  brought  to  bear  on  studio  design 
projects. 

Architecture  students  receive  rigorous  and  comprehensive  instruction  from  a  faculty 
whose  members  are  actively  involved  in  professional  practice  or  research,  many  of  whom 
have  distinguished  themselves  across  the  professional  spectrum  and  represent  different 
approaches  to  architectural  design.  Individual  areas  of  expertise  include  architectural  de- 
sign and  theory,  history,  architectural  archaeology,  technology,  urban  design  and  planning, 
and  historic  preservation.  The  faculty  provides  the  students  with  the  requisite  exposure  to 
contemporary  realities  of  architectural  design  through  visiting  critics,  lecturers,  and  the  Kea 
Distinguished  Professor.  The  facilities,  resources  and  faculty  are  competitive  with  the  best 
in  the  nation  and  world.  Design  recognition  and  academic  acknowledgement  of  the  success 
of  the  alunmi,  faculty  and  students  attest  to  the  excellence  the  school  has  achieved. 
The  B.S.  degree  in  architecture  will  qualify  graduates  to  pvursue  a  career  in  any  number  of 
fields  or  to  continue  graduate  work  in  professional  fields  such  as  architecture,  urban  plan- 
ning or  law.

required  to  complete  the  curriculum  and  leads  to  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree.  The  graduate  pro- 
gram leads  to  a  professional  degree  of  Master  in  Architecture.  The  program  is  uniquely  small  with 
some  twenty  faculty  and  two  hundred  students  in  the  large  university  and  one  of  the  nation's  largest 
and  metropolitan  centers  and  historic  regions.  The  people  who  study  in  this  school  come  from  vastly 
different  backgrounds  at  different  stages  of  life  maturity.  This  enhances  the  program,  as  the  study  of 
architecture  includes  the  sharing  of  past  experiences  and  developing  knowledge  as  it  is  brought  to 
bear  on  studio  design  projects. 

Architecture  students  receive  rigorous  and  comprehensive  instruction  from  a  facvilty  whose  mem- 
bers are  actively  involved  in  professional  practice  or  research,  many  of  whom  have  distinguished 
themselves  across  the  professional  spectrum  and  represent  different  approaches  to  architectural  de-

The  faculty  provides  the  students  with  the  requisite  exposure  to  contemporary  realities  of  architec- 
tural design  through  visiting  critics,  lecturers,  and  the  Kea  Distinguished  Professor.  The  facilities, 
resources  and  faculty  are  competitive  with  the  best  in  the  nation  and  world.  Design  recognition  and 
academic  acknowledgment  of  the  success  of  the  alumni,  faculty  and  students  attest  to  the  excellence 
the  school  has  achieved.  The  B.S.  degree  in  architecture  will  quaUfy  graduates  to  pursue  a  career  in 
any  number  of  fields  or  to  continue  graduate  work  in  professional  fields  such  as  architecture,  urban 
planning  or  law.

The  College  of  Computer,  Mathematical  and  Physical  Sciences  includes  departments  in  Physics,  Mathematics  and 
Computer  Science,  which  are  all  ranked  amongst  the  top  ten  research  universities  nationwide.  The  college  offers 
educational  opportunities  to  770  graduate  and  2,485  undergraduate  students  every  year. 

Not  only  are  students  who  seek  entrance  into  CMPS  academically-talented,  they  also  bring  with  them  the  highest 
SAT  scores  on  campus.  On  average  the  scores  range  around  1300  or  above.  While  the  CMPS's  students  are  extremely 
intelligent,  many  of  CMPS's  550  faculty  are  distinguished  individuals,  with  memberships  in  various  international,  national  and 
university  honors  programs.  Some  of  the  faculty  has  received  Presidential  Early  Career  Awards  for  Scientist  and  Engineers. 
All  of  which,  are  outstanding  honors  and  are  only  presented  to  a  selected  few  of  the  college's  employees. 

The  college  consists  of  six  departments  as  well  as  three  well  equipped  research  based  centers.  CMPS  offers 
majors  such  as  astronomy,  computer  science,  geology,  mathematics,  meteorology,  and  physics.  The  college  participates  in

EDHD  has  a  threefold  educational  mission.  1 )  The  research  oriented  Ph.D.  program  focuses 
on  the  study  of  human  development  as  a  science.  This  program  successfully  prepares 
talented  graduate  students  for  faculty  positions  in  colleges  and  universities.  2)  Masters 
and  outreach  programs  represent  the  applied  nature  of  the  study  of  human  development 
and  have  been  developed  in  response  to  community  needs.  3)  A  commitment  to  under- 
graduate education  is  reflected  in  EDHD's  strong  Early  Childhood  Education  teacher  educa- 
tion program  and  in  numerous  service  courses  to  support  undergraduate  education  across 
campus. 

Imbedded  in  the  organization  of  EDHD  is  the  Institute  for  Child  Study.  Two  centers,  the 
Center  for  Young  Children  (identified  as  one  of  three  outstanding  centers  in  the  nation)  and 
the  Center  for  Relationships  and  Culture,  and  three  research  laboratories  complement  the 
mission  and  function  of  the  department. 

The  Department  of  Measurement.  Statistics  and  Evaluation  (EDMS):  This  department  has 
a  national  reputation  in  the  areas  of  latent  variable  modeUng,  evaluating  test  bias,  and 
exploring  test  equating  models  and  program  evaluation.  EDMS  graduates  take  positions  as 
assessment  directors  for  school  systems,  serve  as  statisticians  with  the  National  Center  for 
Education  Statistics  (and  other  agencies)  and  assume  university  faculty  positions. 

The  Department  of  Special  Education  (EDSP):  EDSP  is  one  of  the  strongest  units  of  its  kind 
in  the  nation  and  for  a  decade  has  consistently  ranked  in  the  top  ten  for  scholarly  productiv- 
ity. For  the  past  15  years,  the  department  has  produced  two  dollars  of  federal  funding  for 
each  dollar  of  state  funding  invested.  Current  federal  funding  is  2.9  million  dollars.  In  the 
past  five  years,  six  of  the  faculty  have  received  the  President's  (UMCP)  Distinguished 
Service  to  Schools  Award.  Recently,  faculty  have  been  honored  with  the  Distinguished 
University  Scholar-  Teacher  Award  and  the  Rose  Fitzgerald  Kennedy  memorial  Award  for

The  Clark  School  is  known  for  its  coUegiahty  and  strong  student  organizations.  Professional  societies  and  honoran 
organizations  keep  students  involved  in  the  latest  developments  in  dieir  field,  bringing  outstanding  professionals  to 
campus,  and  providing  an  mentoring  network  that  is  invaluable  for  career  exploration  in  ad\anced  study.  The  students 
are  provided  access  to  some  of  the  most  sophisticated  research  laboratories  and  equipment  in  the  country,  as  well  as 
strong  ties  to  state  and  federal  agencies  hke  NASA,  the  National  Institute  of  Standards  and  Technology,  and  the 
Environmental  Protection  Agency.  Admission  to  the  Clark  school  is  highly  competiti\e.  the  course  work  is  challenging, 
but  the  rewards  are  great  in  both  the  quaUt\'  of  education  and  the  careers  that  he  ahead. 

The  mission  of  the  Clark  School  is  to  provide  quality  engineering,  with  sufficient  scope  to  include  both  funda- 
mental and  speciaUzed  engineering  training  so  that  graduates  are  prepared  to  serve  the  current  and  emerging 
needs  of  society.  The  branches  of  engineering  are  increasingly  interacting  as  technical  problems  become  more 
sophisticated  and  require  interdiscipUnary  approaches  to  their  solutions.  The  School  also  feels  a  related  re- 
sponsibihty  to  conduct  strong  research  programs  that  contribute  to  the  ad\ancement  of  knowledge  and  strives 
to  foster  a  close  partnership  with  industr>'  and  government  as  it  reaches  out  to  the  campus  conamunit}'  and  the 
community  at  large  with  its  services. 

The  engineering  course  work  is  a  hands-on  apphcation  of  working  in  teams  to  solve  real-life  problems  with  real-life 
budgets  and  production  schedules.  Students  apply  what  they  learn  in  class  to  the  design  and  construction  of  projects 
that  illustrate  basic  engineering  concepts,  higenuity.  creati\itv'  and  teamwork  are  basic  ingredients  for  successful  projects, 
and  the  students  are  among  the  most  talented  and  motivated  at  the  University.  By  the  second  year  these  students  begin 
to  make  choices  about  what  they  want  to  study  in  depth  and  choose  interdisciplinary  specialties  like  smart  structures, 
biological  resource  engineering,  environmental  engineering,  rehabihty  or  the  development  of  new  materials .  Through- 
out the  curriculum  the  students  are  involved  with  projects  and  competitions  that  have  brought  awards  and  recognition  to 
every  department:  solar-powered  cars,  hybrid  electric  vehicles,  walking  robots,  concrete  canoes  and  toboggans,  and 
environmental  design  projects.

information  services  and  management  at  the  masters  and  Ph.D.  levels  but  not  for  undergraduates  as  a  major. 

Because  of  the  University  of  Maryland's  location  in  the  cosmopolitan  center  of  cultural  and  intellectual  activity  and 
political  power,  CLIS  students  have  the  opportunity  to  do  work  and  study  experience  with  leading  technological  and 
national  agencies  like  NASA,  the  Smithsonian,  and  the  National  Library  of  Medicine.  Information  and  knowledge 
constimte  a  vital  resource  for  our  society,  economy,  educational  system  and  government.  The  creation,  management, 
accessibility  and  use  of  this  information  are  critical  to  the  future  of  our  society  as  technological  forces  are  rapidly 
transforming  the  information  arena.  This  presents  both  challenges  and  opportunities  for  information  professionals. 

CLIS  is  the  primary  center  for  education,  research  and  service  in  the  field  of  information  studies  in  the  state  of 
Maryland.  The  CLIS  supports  the  university's  role  as  a  premier  research  institution  by  offering  programs  that  are 
internationally  recognized  for  their  excellence  in  preparing  information  professionals  for  successful  careers  in  the 
21"  century.  CLIS  is  a  leader  in  defining  and  advancing  the  field  of  information  studies.  This  field  encompasses  research  into 
the  creation,  organization,  use  and  impact  of  information  on  mstitutions,  organizations  and  the  lives  of  individuals.  It  analyzes 
the  structure  of  problems  and  determines  user  needs.  CLIS  combines  theoretical  and  conceptual  structures  with  appropriate 
technology  in  the  design  of  systems  for  information,  use  of  learning,  problem  solving  and  decision  making.  It  involves  devel- 
oping policy  guidelines  for  the  optimal  use  of  information  resources  and  draws  on  the  insights  and  ideas  of  many  fields, 
including  computer  science,  artificial  intelligence,  human-computer  interaction,  cognitive  science,  linguistics,  communication, 
education,  history  and  management. 

The  Mission  of  CLIS  is  to  advance  the  field  of  information  studies  through  research  and  development,  to  prepare 
scholars  for  positions  in  research  and  teaching,  to  educate  professionals  for  posifions  in  a  wide  variety  of  exisfing  and 
emerging  informadon  environments,  to  infuse  informafion  studies  into  the  university's  educational  programs  at  all 
levels,  to  provide  leadership  to  the  informafion  professions  through  the  study  of  ethical,  polifical,  social  and  technical 
issues  related  to  informafion  in  modem  society,  to  assist  organizations  (governments,  businesses  and  nonprofit  orga- 
nizations locally,  nationally  and  internationally)  in  the  formulation  of  policies,  the  development  and  application  off 
information  systems  and  services  and  the  use  of  information  technologies.

The  College  of  Life  Sciences  delivers  three  undergraduate  programs:  Biochemistry,  Chemistry,  and  Biological 
Sciences.  With  options  in:  Behavior.  Ecology,  Evolution  and  Systematics,  Cell  Molecular  Biology  and  Genetics, 
Entomology,  General  Biology,  Individual  Studies,  Marine  Biology,  Microbiology,  Physiology  and  Neurobiology, 
Plant  Biology,  and  Zoology. 

The  college  has  provided  many  opportunities  to  its  students  such  as  a  model  pre-Freshman  Academic  Achieve- 
ment program  for  minority  students,  which  assists  students  in  transition  to  college  with  math  instruction.  Funded 
by  NIH,  the  College's  BIOMAP  program  promotes  the  transition  of  minority  community  college  smdents  to  the 
university.  Significant  research  opportunities  for  undergraduates  have  been  made  available  through  the  College's 
internship  program  and  its  Howard  Hughes  Medical  Intern  Grant,  just  renewed  for  $1.6  million.  This  supports 
undergraduate  research  in  faculty  labs.  Several  unique  aspects  besides  these  include  mandatory  advising  and  a 
required  survival  course  for  freshmen.  These  efforts  were  rewarded  by  a  93.8%  freshman  retention  rate  in  the  97- 
98  academic  year,  a  rate  that  led  all  major  colleges. 

In  the  fall  of  1998,  the  College  of  Life  Sciences  and  the  Smith  School  of  Business  initiated  a  five-year  Bachelors/ 
Masters  program.  This  is  a  "Fast-Forward"  program  from  which  graduates  will  receive  a  Bachelor  of  Science 
degree  in  either  Biochemistry,  Chemistry  or  Biological  Sciences  and  a  Masters  in  Business  and  Management. 

The  Joint  Institute  for  Food  Safety  and  Applied  Nutrition  (JIFSAN)  is  a  venture  of  the  Colleges  of  Agriculture 
and  Natural  Resources  and  Life  Sciences  and  the  FDA.  Funded  by  a  $7  million  grant.  Life  Sciences  has  taken  a 
lead  in  developing  this  program  which  addressed  all  areas  of  food,  safety,  risk  assessment  and  nutrition.  JIFSAN 
cements  a  permanent  relationship  between  the  FDA  and  College  Park.  The  President's  Food  Safety  Initiative 
identifies  JIFSAN  and  the  University  to  lead  a  nationwide  consortium  on  risk.

The  School  of  Pubhc  Affairs  is  dedicated  to  providing  current  and  future  leaders  with  the 
knowledge  and  skills  they  need  to  craft  and  implement  public  policies  in  a  complex  policy  envi- 
ronment. With  the  blurring  roles  among  the  public,  private,  and  non-profit  sectors  in  policy  making  and 
management,  our  graduates  need  to  excel  not  only  in  their  chosen  fields,  but  also  across  sectors.  This 
education  experience  is  at  once  rigorous,  versatile  and  comprehensive. 

The  School  of  Public  Affairs  attract  students  because  it  offers  unique  academic  and  pro- 
fessional opportunities  in  a  diverse  setting.  These  are  made  possible  by  a  nationally  recognized 
faculty  who  bring  experience  with  government  and  private  enterprise  into  the  classroom.  The 
location  of  the  school  also  adds  to  the  opportunity  for  internships,  networking  and  hands-on 
learning  experience. 

In  the  school,  five  disciplines  are  emphasized:  finance,  statistics,  economics,  politics  and  ethics. 
Students  specialize  in  intemational  security  and  economic  policy,  public  sector  financial  management, 
environmental  policy  or  social  policy.

advised  and  academically  challenged  and  supported  during  their  first 
two  years  on  campus,  a  main  focus  is  bracketed  by  the  division's 
work  with  younger  students  through  the  Educational  Talent  Search 
and  Pre-College  Park  Scholars,  as  well  as  academic  support  services 
like  Admissions,  Records  and  Registration  ,  and  Orientation.  These 
programs  touch  the  lives  of  each  student  on  campus  with  equal  re-

Counseling  Center 

Director:  Dr.Vivian  Boyd 


As  in  years  past, 
Maryland  students  dealing 
with  a  variety  of  personal, 
social,  career,  and  aca- 
demic issues  found  sup- 
port at  the  Counseling  Cen- 
ter. In  individual  counsel- 
ing, students  discovered 
that  seeking  help  is  a  sign 
of  strength  as  they  ex- 
plored a  range  of  issues 
that  included  self-esteem, 
stress,  relationships,  sex, 
family  problems,  and  mak- 
ing career  decisions. 

In  workshops  and 
group  counseling,  students 
met  with  others  who  had 
similar  problems,  inter- 
ests, and  goals.  The  Coun- 
seling  Center  offered 
weekly  support  groups  that 
addressed  a  wide  variety  of 
topics,  such  as  career  ex- 
ploration, dissertation  sup- 
port, procrastination  pre- 
vention, and  stress  man- 
agement. Group  offerings 
included,  "Caught  in  the 
Net,"  a  support  group  for 
reducing  dependency  on  e- 
mail  and  the  Internet; 
"Circle  of  Sisters,"  a  sup- 
port group  for  black 
women;  and  "Women, 
Food,  and  Obsession  with 
Thinness,"  which  ad- 
dressed problems  of  body 
image  and  eating.  Consul- 
tation, counseling  and  child 
testing  also  were  provided 
to  parents,  single  parents, 
andtheirchildren. 

Careercounseling 
also  helped  students  who 
were  choosing  a  major,  es- 
tablishing career  goals, 
and  considering  job  oppor- 
tunities. An  important  as-

mester  survival  skills, 
and  completing  theses 
and  dissertations.  Many 
students  who  were  back 
in  school  after  a  break  in 
their  formal  education 
took  advantage  of  the 


counseling  helped  these 
students  make  the  tran- 
sition to  academic  life. 
The  Counseling 
Center  also  provided 
services  for  students 
with  disabilities,  includ- 
ing help  in  locating  inter- 
preters for  deaf  or  hard- 
of-hearing  students; 
readers  for  visually-im- 
paired students,  blind 


students,  and  students 
with  learning  disabilities; 
and  assistance  with  ac- 
cess to  various  buildings 
and  facilities  on  campus. 
In  the  Counseling  Center's 
Testing  Office,  students 
took  tests  that  related  to 
the  work  they  were  doing  in 
counseling,  such  as  ex- 
ploring their  career  inter- 
ests. Others  took  national 
standardized  tests  admin- 
istered by  the  Testing  Of- 
fice, such  as  the  GRE, 
LSAT,  MCAT,  GMAT,  and 
Miller  Analogies.  Re- 
search assistance  and  in- 
dividual consultation  were 
provided  to  students  with 
questions  about  research 
design  and  statistics  and 
writing  project  proposals, 
theses,  and  dissertations. 
It  was  a  busy  and 
productive  year  in  the 
Counseling  Center.  From 
individual  and  family  coun- 
seling growth  groups,  and 
academic  skills  */ork- 
shops,  to  career  interest 
testing,  disability  support, 
and  research  assistance, 
the  services  provided  by 
the  Counseling  Center 
staff  reached  a  wide  range 
of  Maryland  students  in 
need  of  professional  assis- 
tance.

Department  of  Campus  Parking 


Director:  J.  David  Allen 


The  Department  of 
Campus  Parking  continues  to 
strive  towards  meeting  its 
goal  of  responding  to  the 
parking  needs  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  College 
Park  campus.  In  addition  to 
visitors  to  the  campus,  the 
department  is  charged  the 
task  of  providing  parking 
for  more  than  40,000  student 
and  faculty/staff  members. 
This  responsibility  in- 
cludes the  issuance  of 
55,000  parking  permits 
yearly,  and  the  collection 
of  fees  associated  with 
these  permit;  meter  mainte- 
nance and  collection;  the 
management  and  upkeep  of 
parking  lots  and  garages; 
and  fair  and  consistent  en- 
forcement. 

In  order  to  familiar- 
ize the  campus  community 


with  these  programs  information 
is  disseminated  through  articles 
in  the  Diamondback,  brochures, 
the  Campus  Parking  Homepage 
on  the  web-site, 
yearly  updates 
of  the  parking 
rules  and  regu- 
lations, cam- 
pus parking 
maps,  and  at- 
tendance at 
various  cam- 
pus activities 
(i.e.  fairs,  work- 
shops, etc.) 

In    re- 
sponse to  the 

needs  of  the  campus  community, 
the  PIT  Crew  continues  to  offer 
assistance  to  motorist  for  lock- 
outs, flats,  jumpstarts  and  gas 
runs.  In  addition,  our  most  recent 
efforts  have  been  the  installation 
of  electronic  meters  throughout 


the  campus  and  the  introduction 
of  the  meter  debit  card.  The 
electronic  meters  work  in  con- 
junction with  the  Meter   Debit 
Card  and  ac- 
cept coins  as 
well.   These 
new  meters 
have  cut  down 
on  the  amount 
of  time  spent 
repairing 
meters  due  to 
foreign   ob- 
jects being  in- 
serted    into 
them  in  place 
of  coins.  They 
also  secure 
more  accurate  time.  The  intro- 
duction of  the  meter  debit  card 
eliminates  the  need  to  carry 
coins  around  to  pay  the  meter. 
The  card  can  be  replenished  at 
he  CTS  machine  located  in  the 
lobby  of  the  Department  of  Cam- 


pus Parking.  Another  feature  is 
that  the  user  is  able  to  put  more 
time  on  the  meter  than  neces- 
sary and  retrieve  unused  time  (in 
30  minute  increments)  back 
onto  the  card. 

The  opening  of  the  two  cashier 
attended  parking  facilities,  Sta- 
dium drive  Garage  and  the  Col- 
onnade Drive  Visitor  Pay  Lot. 
Stadium  Drive  Garage  offers  an 
additional  600  spaces  for  the 
students  and  200  for  visitors. 
The  Colonnade  Drive  Visitor 
Pay  Lot,  the  most  popular  of  the 
two,  has  145  pace  and  is  used 
by  visitors  as  well  as  students 
that  may  have  business  in  or 
near  the  Van  Munching  area. 
Easy  access  to  their  destina- 
tion, and  the  fact  that  there  is  an 
attendant  on  the  lot,  makes 
parking  at  Colonnade  worth  the 
$1.00  per  hour  parking  fee 
charged.

GREEK 


The  Greek  community  gives  students  the  chance  to 
make  a  big  campus  small.  The  chapter  serves  as  a 
place  where  friends  become  family,  and  the  friendships 
last  a  lifetime.  Fraternities  and  sororities  also  give  mei^ 
bers  the  opportunity  to  network  with  alumni  and  intej 
act  with  mentors  who  have  made  a  successful  transi- 
tion from  college  to  the  work  force.  The  Greek  com- 
munity prides  itself  on  the  opportunities  it  provides 
students  for  leadership  development.  Academics  and 
scholarship  are  ideals  upon  which  Greek  organizations 
are  founded,  and  students'  academic  responsibilities 
unquestionably  receive  the  highest  priority.  Chapters 
at  UMCP  sponsor  and  participate  in  more  community 
service  and  fund  raising  activities  than  other  student 
organizations,  raising  over  $90,000  annually  for  vari- 
ous philanthropies  and  providing  hundreds  of  hours 
for  community  service  each  year.  J[

From  the  first  day  of  fall  to  the  last  day  of  May,  AEPhi's  calendar  is  filled  with  many  activities.  Dated  parties, 
rush  parties,  fraternity  mixers  and  formals  are  just  for  starters.  Whether  it's  placing  in  the  talent  show  during 
Greek  Week  or  athletics,  AEPhi's  are  always  on  the  go. 

An  Alpha  Epsilon  Phi  gives  of  herself  by  taking  part  in  the  lives  of  others.  Our  national  philanthropies,  the 
Chaim  Sheba  Medical  Center  of  Israel  and  the  Pediatric  AIDS  Foundation,  have  grown  and  developed  with 
the  help  and  hard  work  of  AEPhi's  friends  throughout  the  world.  AEPhi's  are  also  active  on  campus  in 
honorary  societies  and  college  councils.  Academics  are  very  important  to  AEPhi's  and  AEPhi's  take  great 
pride  in  their  grades. 

The  AEPhi  chapter  house  on  campus  is  a  great  place  to  live-  right  on  the  Row  where  all  the  action  is.  Alpha 
Epsilon  Phi  lives  in  the  hearts  and  souls  of  it's  members  forever.  Sisters  become  life  long  friends.  The 
laughter,  the  love,  the  trials  and  tribulations  have  helped  each  AEPhi  become  a  better  individual.

Alpha  Sigma  Phi  was  founded  at  Yale  University  on  December  6,  1845.  To  this  day,  the  fraternity  has  stayed 
close  to  its  idealistic  and  scholarly  roots.  The  tenth  oldest  fraternity  in  the  United  States,  Alpha  Sig  prides  itself 
on  its  rugged  individualism  and  its  mission  "to  better  the  man."  Alpha  Sigma  Phi  nationally  boasts  a  strong  and 
cohesive  web  of  Alpha  Sig  chapters  from  coast  to  coast  at  a  wide  range  of  schools.  The  Colony  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  will  soon  be  the  youngest  of  125  chapters. 

Alpha  Sig  at  Maryland  was  begun  last  year  by  a  group  of  students  who  desired  to  bring  out  and  focus  on  the 
positive  aspects  of  fraternal  life  and  enhance  them.  This  group  of  Founding  Fathers  wanted  a  brotherhood 
where  gentlemenship,  academic  success,  personal  growth  and  leadership  played  an  integral  role.  Alpha  Sig  has 
become  a  brotherhood  of  individuals  working  together  towards  their  common  goals.  The  fraternity  is  very 
diversified.  They  boast  that  this  brotherhood  is  even  closer  knit  because  of  the  diversity  among  their  brothers.

Some  people  think  that  big  houses,  extensive  social  calendars  and  active  alumni  support  are  what  makes  a 
house  successful.  These  are  not  the  causes,  but  rather  the  results  of  a  successful  chapter.  Delta  Chi  has  been  on 
campus  for  nine  years,  preserved  through  four  address  changes  and  currently  resides  in  a  structure  housing  30 
members.  In  terms  of  social  calendars,  there's  something  to  do  every  weekend,  be  it  a  party,  date  function,  etc. 
Delta  Chi's  alumni  are  actively  involved  in  chapter  operations  and  house  improvements. 

Delta  Chi  is  made  of  various  personalities,  ideas  and  traditions,  looking  to  reach  the  one  goal  of  brotherhood. 
Delta  Chi  offers  many  opportunities  to  succeed  at  what  one  does  best,  be  it  leadership,  academics  or  creativity. 
Delta  Chi's  associate  member  and  active  member  programming  help  to  build  character,  academic  responsibil- 
ity, and  self  confidence.  Delta  Chi  stresses  fratemalism  through  individualism,  for  without  the  individual,  the 
fraternity  would  not  exist.  Delta  Chi's  associate  members  are  not  molded,  they  are  brothers  waiting  to  be 
unfolded. 

Delta  Chi  encourages  it's  member  to  develop  to  their  fullest  potential,  and  has  dedicated  itself  to  the  goal  of 
"Personal  Growth  Through  Brotherhood."  Delta  Chi  invites  you  to  come  take  a  look.

In  1888,  four  women  attending  Boston  University  chose  not  to  join  the  women's  fraternities  akeady  on  campus  but  to

would  be  "kind  alike  to  all".  Their  fraternity  Delta  Delta  Delta,  was  founded  on  Thanksgiving  Eve  in  1888.

CPA/ 


During  the  fall  semester  of  1 899  at  the  City  College  of  New  York,  several  high  school  classmates  found 
themselves  renewing  their  friendships  as  college  freshmen.  These  men  soon  realized  that  no  existing  fraternity 
would  accept  them  due  to  their  religious  differences.  They  say  no  reason  that  differences  in  religion,  race,  or 
creed  dictated  who  were  quality  men.  On  December  10,1899  they  decided  to  found  a  fraternity  that  embodied 
their  ideals  of  equality,  loyalty,  and  brotherhood-Delta  Sigma  Phi. 

The  notion  that  quality  men  come  in  all  forms,  regardless  of  race,  backgrounds,  and  religion  is  still  the  core 
belief  of  the  Alpha  Sigma  chapter  here  at  the  University  of  Maryland.  Through  the  cultivation  of  life  long 
friendships  and  the  recognition  of  Delta  Sigma  Phi's  founding  fathers'  beliefs,  the  brothers  of  the  Alpha  Sigma 
chapter  have  prospered  both  individually  and  collectively.  Delta  Sigma  Phi  offers  a  tradition  of  excellence  in 
community,  leadership,  athletics,  philanthropy,  and  social  involvement  within  the  Greek  system  ad  the  com- 
munity. Motivation,  self-enhancement,  acceptance,  and  brotherhood  are  the  key  elements  of  the  experience  of 
the  bond  at  Alpha  Sigma  chapter. 

It's  not  enough  to  be  good,  for  those  who  aspire  to  be  GREAT!

Delta  Tau  Delta  celebrates  a  legacy  of  prosperity  and  achievement  dating  back  to  our  founding  at  the  Univer-

has  rarely  been  challenged.  In  addition  to  Delt's  stellar  social  calendar,  Delt  encourages  members  to  engage  in 
a  plethora  of  activities  ranging  from  community  service  to  championship  athletics.  A  strong  bond  with  alumni 
offers  undergraduate  Delts  the  opportunity  to  receive  career  mentoring,  and  job  placement  assistance,  while 
Delt's  impeccable  reputation  as  one  of  the  nation's  finest  fraternities  proves  invaluable  in  the  professional 
world.  Delt's  Homecoming  tailgate,  legendary  for  being  the  envy  of  all  others,  is  matched  in  scope  only  by  our 
Spring  Formal  and  Away  Weekend,  held  annually  on  the  nicest  weekend  in  April.  Delt  sponsors  charitable 
events  and  assists  local  school  children  through  our  international  philanthropy,  Adopt-a-School  Program.  Each 
year  Delts  are  recognized  for  their  leadership  on  campus-whether  in  the  Student  Government  or  Judicial  pro-

As  the  doors  of  Gamma  Phi  Beta  again  open  to  the  house  located  at  Nine  Fraternity  Row  the  doors  of  opportu- 
nity open  also  for  the  women  of  Gamma  Phi.  The  house  was  closed  in  early  1990's  for  remodeling,  but  now 
with  the  dust  cleared  the  women  of  Gamma  Phi  are  ready  to  reclaim  their  beloved  structure. 

Not  having  a  house  for  a  period  of  time  has  truly  taught  the  women  of  Gamma  Phi  many  valuable  lessons. 
Without  a  structure  to  call  their  own,  women  of  Gamma  Phi  were  forced  to  search  inside  themselves  to  find  the 
true  meaning  of  sisterhood.  The  women  learned  that  sisterhood  is  not  the  house  in  which  you  live  or  the 
possessions  that  you  have,  but  that  the  true  meaning  of  sisterhood  is  the  love  and  loyalty  that  you  share  for  each 
other. 

The  sisters  in  Gamma  Phi  experience  a  very  busy  social  schedule.  Besides  formal  and  dated  parties,  Greek 
Week  and  Homecoming,  the  sisters  of  Gamma  Phi  also  enjoy  big  and  little  sister  events,  crescent  sister  events, 
parents  weekend  events,  and  many  community  activities. 

The  sisters  of  Gamma  Phi  not  only  cherish  the  loyalty  that  they  have  for  each  other  but  also  diversity  within 
their  sorority.  Every  sister  in  Gamma  Phi  has  a  quality  of  characteristic  that  is  uniquely  hers.  Within  the  walls 
of  Gamma  Phi  you  will  find  friendships  that  will  last  a  lifetime  and  bonds  that  will  never  be  broken.

Let's  face  it.  sororities  often  carry  with  them  an  image  of  women  who  act  alike,  talk  alike,  dress  alike  and  ha\'e 
no  sense  of  indi\idualit\'.  But  as  a  Maryland  woman,  we  know  that's  not  you.  As  women  of  Kappa  Alpha 
Theta,  that  is  not  us  either  Founded  in  1 870  as  the  first  Greek  letter  fraternity  for  women  (we're  older  than  the 
word  sorority),  the  original  mission  of  Theta  was  to  unify  the  individual  strength  of  it's  members. 

Theta 's  are  involved  in  a  wide  variety  of  activities.  Panhellenic  Association,  Order  of  Omega,  various  honor 
societies,  Maryland  Dance  Team,  Lacrosse  Team,  Field  Hockey  Team,  Cheerleading,  Honors,  and  Scholars 
programs  are  only  a  few.  Theta's  will  fill  up  our  social  calendars  with  weekend  tailgates  and  parties,  winter 
and  spring  formals,  dated  parties,  destination  unknown,  dinners,  sisterhood  events.  Homecoming  and  Greek 
week  {  we  were  the  1997  o\erall  Greek  week  winners!) .  Theta  always  has  something  going  on,  and  Theta's 
sisterhood  spirit  is  the  best! 

Theta  has  and  always  will  continue  to  celebrate  strong,  visionary  women,  and  demand  the  best  of  ourselves 
academically,  socially,  and  civically.  Theta's  are  a  diverse  group  of  women  yet,  the  members  of  Kappa  Alpha 
Theta  are  a  loyal  group  of  sisters.  Theta's  laugh  together  during  the  good  times  and  lend  a  shoulder  through  the 
tough  times.  Theta  sisterhood  lasts  beyond  graduation;  it  unites  us  for  a  lifetime.  And  Kappa  Alpha  Theta 
can't  wait  to  meet  vou.

Kappa  Alpha  Order  has  been  on  campus  at  the  University  of  Maryland,  College  Park  longer  than  any  other  fraternity. 
The  chapter  has  a  rich  tradition  of  producing  leaders,  scholars,  athletes,  and  gentlemen  alike.  Founded  in  1 865,  KA  is 
well  known  across  the  country  for  upholding  the  ideals  of  chivalry. 

The  men  of  Kappa  Alpha  Order  are  especially  known  as  being  the  gentlemen  of  the  fraternity  world.  Members 
awaiting  initiation  are  well-schooled  in  etiquette.  KA's  are  also  taught  some  of  the  important  aspects  of 
chivalry  as  it  exists  today.  Our  motto,  "Dieu  et  les  dames"  (God  and  Women),  calls  us  to  be  respectful, 
courteous,  thoughtful,  and  to  always  maintain  strong  character. 

Here  at  UM,  the  Beta  Kappa  Chapter  of  Kappa  Alpha  Order  resides  at  One  Fraternity  Row.  It  is  a  landmark  at 
the  University.  The  chapter's  executive  board  is  summoned  each  semester  to  come  up  with  the  vision  for  the 
future  of  the  chapter.  This  vision  never  strays  from  the  ideas  of  leadership,  scholarship,  athletics,  and  gentle- 
manly conduct.  This  is  what  a  gentleman  of  Kappa  Alpha  Order  strives  for.

Originally  founded  as  an  alternative  to  traditional  fraternities,  the  Beta  Omicron  Chapter  of  Phi  Kappa  Tau 
maintains  those  ideals  by  stressing  brotherhood,  scholastic  leadership  and  indi\  iduality.  Nationally,  the  Phi 
Tau  family  spans  across  the  nation  to  134  colleges  and  universities,  providing  strong  alumni  support.  Locally, 
the  Phi  Kappa  Tau  chapter  is  growing  stronger  every  semester.  In  1996-199.  membership  grew  1 10'7f  as  we 
walked  off  with  Greek  Life's  "Program  of  the  Year"  for  our  philanthropy  project,  "House  of  Michael  Myers." 

It  is  a  goal  of  all  Phi  Taus  not  to  lose  sight  of  why  they  are  here-  for  an  education.  The  current  brotherhood 
boasts  two  brothers  with  full  academic  scholarships,  as  well  as  six  members  on  the  Dean's  list. 

A  Phi  Tau  is  also  molded  for  future  leadership  success.  The  Phi  Kappa  Tau  National  president.  Greg  Holden, 
is  an  alumnus  of  Beta  Omicron  here  at  Maryland  while  Paul  Newman  is  an  alumnus  of  the  Beta  Chapter  at 
Ohio  University.  Current  Phi  Taus  are  taking  steps  in  the  right  direction  as  our  brothers  are  acti\  e  in  the  Greek 
system,  varsity  wrestling,  varsity  tennis,  varsity  swimming.  Golf  Course  Superintendents  Association  of  .Ajnerica, 
The  Diamondback,  and  the  Honors  Program. 

One  of  the  greatest  fears  of  non-Greeks  is  that  they  will  cease  to  be  themselves  if  they  join  a  fraternity.  At  Phi 
Kappa  Tau,  we  stress  individuality.  Phi  Kappa  Tau's  goal  is  not  carbon  copied  brothers,  but  a  diverse  group  of 
men  who  will  each  contribute  to  the  fraternity  in  theu"  own  way.  If  everyone  in  the  fraternity  has  the  same 
qualities  no  one  will  have  gained  anything  from  the  experience.  But,  by  ha\ing  brothers  with  different  at- 
tributes, a  Phi  Tau  graduates  a  better  scholar,  a  better  leader,  and  a  better  individual.

In  1856,  at  the  University  of  Alabama  in  Tuscaloosa,  a  young  Alabamian  named  Noble  Leslie  DeVotie  and  his 
seven  closest  friends  founded  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon.  From  those  humble  beginnings  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  has 
grown  and  been  through  many  difficulties.  Only  five  months  after  the  creation  of  SAE,  the  University  of 
Alabama  abolished  fraternities.  The  original  chapter  of  SAE  was  forced  to  disband  1 8  months  later,  fortunately 
SAE  had  expanded  to  six  other  colleges  in  that  time. 

Since  SAE  was  founded  at  Maryland  in  1943,  they  have  been  a  group  of  truly  secure  and  confident  men  who 
posses  superior  qualities  such  as  knowledge,  leadership,  athletic  ability,  and  high  self  esteem.  SAE's  enjoy

The  first  Dutch  euro  coins,  with  a  portrait  of 
Queen  Beatrix,  are  presented  at  the 
Nertherlands  Mint  in  Utrecht,  Dec.  8,  1998. 
The  euro  coins  share  a  common  European  de- 
sign on  one  side,  and  individual  national  designs 
on  the  other.  To  the  eur-zone's  270  million 
people  the  currency  will  remain  largely  a  phan- 
tom currency  until  coins  and  banknotes  hit  the 
streets  in  2002.  But  for  businesses  and  gov- 
ernments, the  euro  will  be  an  immediate  reality 
on  Jan.  1,  1999.  (AP  Photo/DusanVranic)

objectives     through      improving      productivity,

growing  synergy  between  people,  technology,

As  consultants  and  interior  architects,  we  offer 
expert   insight  into  the   way   business   will    be 
conducted  in  the  future,  and  create  designs  that 
"future-proof"  the  office.    We  closely  examine 
the  way  technology  will  offer  greater  mobility 
and  fluidity,  the  way  that  people  work  and  the 
tasks  an  organization  performs.     This  forward-

Ride  the  Turtle 

"Thousands  of  students  walk  though  cam- 
pus daily,  and  while  most  of  them  won't  ven- 
ture into  McKeldin  Library,  they  will  take  a 
detour  and  purposely  walkright  past  it.  Why 
go  though  all  that  trouble  just  to  walk  past  it? 
To  see  Testudo,  of  course.  Many  students 
rub  the  Diamondback  Terrapin's  nose  as  they 
walk  past,  but  as  our  yearbook  staff  mem- 
bers noted  during  exam  time,  many  students 
gave  Testudo  a  little  extra  attention. 
Take  a  closer  look,  the  staff  noticed  that 
UMD  students  would  do  almost  anything 
hoping  Testudo  would  give  them  some  help 
on  their  upcoming  exams.  But  then  again, 
some  people  need  a  little  more  help  than  oth- 
ers."
