( f ( Skydiving, film making, mime, debate, gospel song- fests, community outreach, student productions - the University of Maryland ' s campus-based activities are as diverse as the individual interests of the student body. The over one hundred activities sponsored bring to- gether students from different backgrounds to promote leadership and involvement. To organize and announce various events, the office of Campus Activities in the Stamp Union is a great asset. Student groups are mainly responsible for the extra- curricular activities available for their peers to partici- pate in. Those who sponsor the various events put forth a lot of time and effort into their projects. Their efforts are golden - the best that can be expected. Interesting and enjoyable activites must be devel- oped, advertised, and then concluded. Occasionally the process is slightly difficult, with problems ranging from getting Ritchie Colesium reserved on a particular date, or uncooperative weather during fairs held on the cam- pus malls. However, planners of such activities should be praised for giving University of fvlaryland students a wide range of exciting events to get involved with. There were events this year which included opportu- nities for enthusiasts of various interests to join in on and get away from their studies at least for a short time. With a little effort, students can get involved in many ways. Continuous happenings within the Student Union and on nearby Route 1, as well as activites. make getting bored at the University of Maryland nearly impossible.
