Dedicated to Dr. Earl Newsom At a time when many students feel their education has deteriorated to little more than a dreary cycle of enduring lectures and banging out what seem to be useless assignments, there seems to be little hope for the relief that real living offers. Hour after hour of time devoted to pursuits that seem clearly unrelated to any possible life or career goal have dulled the ambitions of even the most dedicated students. But in the journalism department, a curriculum in the Uni- versity that does not particularly stand above the general level of mediocrity, there is at least a sliver of hope for serious students. Dr. Earl Newsom, a professor in the department for 17 years, has devoted most of his efforts not to classroom education, but to getting both part-time and full-time jobs for would-be journalists. Newsom seems to have realized long ago that any profes- sion, especially journalism, can not really be learned in the classroom. Consistent with that belief, he has placed hundreds of University journalism students in summer internships that gave them their first taste of what it is really like to be a journalist. Through his efforts, many have found jobs in a market that offers few opportunities even for the most talented. For his efforts and as a token of appreciation from those who will be eternally grateful to him, this yearbook is dedicated to Dr. Earl Newsom. 2 The organization that appears beside a page number has sponsored that page. The Terrapin staff wishes to thank those who have given us support and urge you to patronize them.

AVT ' T ir ' ! ' % It ' s a warm spring-like day in College Park. Some lazy sunshine strands of an AUman Brothers ' song seep into your brain from a nearby dorm stereo. People are running around in T shirts and cutoffs, laughing, shouting. The grass is warm under your feet. Suddenly a dizzying longing floods through- out you. You want to cut class. Run to the mall. Play frisbee till you ' re drenched in sweat. Lie in the grass with the httle circles with their dogs and their guitars. Get stoned and drink cold beer until you dissolve in the sea of laughing faces. Above all you want to stay in College Park forever. Forever immersed in the laughing shouting clusters. But you go to class. Or if you don ' t go that day, you go the next. The course will be completed and you will be three credits closer to graduation. Memories of many sunny days urge you to stay somehow. But already a restlessness has crept over you. Most of the students seem younger and immature. Your classes are duUer. You ' ve heard it all before, a thousand times. You know you ' re t reading water. You know you ' ve got to move on. And all that will be left to say you were here, all that will be left of the campus you knew will be a book. A yearbook, doomed to Ue forgotten on a shelf collecting dust with other yearbooks. We, the staff of the 1975 Terrapin, have looked through our shelves. We have resurrected forgotten faces from forgot- ten yearbooks, interspersed them with ours so you will see how our pasts intertwine with theirs, as we take our place next to them on the shelf. We will go forward. We will change. But here we will be preserved forever the way we were. Forever. In a book. On a shelf.
