The University IS alwayS grOWJllg Even as this is being written, the face of the University changes. Machines are at work, crushing Sylvester Hall into the past and, elsewhere, erecting the Arts and Humanities building for the future. To keep up with the incessant increase in students, the campus spreads, a behemoth devouring College Park and leaving red brick and white columns in its wake; until someday all will be one vast University. And the new buildings sprout up in areas we once thought filled. They squeeze between old buildings, obliterating lawns, trees and open space. We watched for four years as first one then another gaunt, girdiron skeleton appeared forming fore- shadowing silhouettes against the sky. Then the buildings were fleshed out by machines with men at their wheels; men who peered out from under their helmets half-suspiciously, half-curiously at the students passing by. Then the windows were put in, then desks, chairs, and room numbers. Classes were assigned in new smelling class- rooms. The men and machines disappeared and the buildings filled with teachers, students and it seems like they ' ve been there forever. It ' s seems like there ' s always been a New Dining Hall, Zoo Psych complex. Undergraduate Library, Student Union movie theater and parking garage. And who can remember when the west wing of Marie Mount Hall, the new Chemistry Library, Biochemistry Research Library, the additions to the Foreign Language and Chemical Engineering Buildings weren ' t there? Now in the works are a new physical education building and the animal science building. More are planned as there are more and more students to accommodate. So before you leave, take a good look, for the university as we know it will soon be part of the past. 4 Washington Coca Cola Bottling Co., Silver Spring, Md.

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.
