WM bu Maryland Rebuilds Campus Renovations Continue The South Hill dormitories, ranging in ages from twenty to sixty years, are currently being renovated. Over the next several years, nineteen of the Hill ' s twenty-four dorms will have been com- pletely renovated. During the 1982- 1983 school year, the dormitories being renovated are Kent, Prince George ' s, Talbot, Garrett, and Calvert. The renovation is being done in phases. During Phase I, which took place during the 1981-1982 school year, seven red-bricked three-story buildings were added to the Leonardtown com- plex behind Fraternity Row. Many of the 450 students who were displaced from the South Hill dorms being ren- ovated this year now live in the new Leonardtown apartments: six people live in each of these spacious apart- ments with four roomy bedrooms per apartment, (two singles, two doubles), and two single occupancy bathrooms. Referred to by Leonardtown residents as the Land of Pleasant Living, this arrangement sure beats screaming bloody murder when you ' re in a d ormi- tory shower and some prankster flushes three toilets at once. There is also a new, large community center which houses all types of Leonardtown events. The renovation of Harford Hall was completed during Phase II in the fall of 1982. There is now another new Com- munity Center located on Harford Hall ' s lower level which provides resi- dents with laundry facilities and vend- ing machines as well as a study area and physical weight training room. This weight room will only be open to South Hill residents. When Phase III is completed in the fall of 1983, none of the renovated dor- mitories will look the same, as there will only be suites and apartments, no indi- vidual rooms at all. Each campus apart- ment will have the same amenities and atmosphere of an apartment off-cam- pus: a stove, a full-size refrigerator, a smoke detector, heating, air condition- in g; and right outside there will be some trees, shrubs, benches, and plaza areas. A Satellite Central Utility Building, or ' Scub, ' will be built as a part of Phase III. This facility will be built in between Frederick and Annapolis Halls. The building will have all the mechanical equipment necessary to keep all the South Hill ' s dormitories supplied with electricity and hot water. This will mean that eiectricity and hot water problems on the South Hill will be taken care of more quickly and effi- ciently. South Hill dorms slated for Phase IV work in late 1983 are Alleghany, How- ard, Baltimore, and Frederick. Phase V, scheduled for 1984, includes the ren- ovation of Charles and Montgomery. Washington and Annapolis Halls are i ii lilllk -Mnfrii John Kammerman not scheduled for renovation because these buildings are being considered for total destruction and rebuilding. Cecil Hall is a relatively new dorm and will, therefore, not be renovated. During Phase VI, renovation will begin on dor- mitories on the North Hill. Robert Christiansen Fall 25

Halloween 1982 Terrapin Terror Captures Campus It was a good thing Halloween fell on a Sunday this year; in College Park, one night just isn ' t enough to trick-or-treat right. With the moon shin- ing round and orange in the sky on everybody ' s favorite bizarre holiday, Halloween weekend was one wild party followed by one trip to the Route from Friday at Happy Hour to Sunday night cos- tume parties. Undaunted by reports of recent poi- son scares in Tylenol capsules and razor blade sur- prises in hot dogs, students donned their Halloween spirit and all kinds of funky garb and paraded the campus. Traditional decorations hung in dorm lobbies and area shops; jack-o-lanterns were propped omi- nously in dark windows and orange and black streamers lurked everywhere, but the specialty was the multitude of outrageous costumes spotted in the bars and the libraries. Didn ' t you see the ghost and Mickey Mouse studying at McKeldin? How about King Kong and the black cat dancing at the Attic? Did you spot the cute Robin Hood flirting with that gypsy at the Cellar? Or how about the girls dressed up as Crayola crayons at the dorm party? How many grotesque monsters did you count trying to sneak into the Vous without standing in line? While E.T. was bobbing for apples at a dorm party, three witches, two devils and a couple of transvestites were on their way to see Rocky Hor- ror in Georgetown. While three or four country bumpkins played quarters at the Cellar, a flasher and a monk get psyched to go see The Excorcist , the midnight movie at Hoff Theater. And don ' t forget the pa- rade of nuns keeping vigil all weekend at the Vous. Guys dressed like girls, girls dressed like guys; jocks dressed like punks, and punks dressed like little children — lollipops, saddleshoes and all. From the dorm parties to bar hopping on Route 1 to the keg bashes in the Knox Boxes, Halloween was a colorful, hysterical affair. With all the costumes and candy and trick-or- treating, you could almost forget this was college. For the weekend, everybody was just a kid again. And nobody knows how to play better than a col- lege kid on Halloween! Perry Breig 26 Fall
