St. Mary's College
of Maryland
1996
Calvert Hall is the home
of students and offices of
the administrative staff
and departments of
History and Social
Sciences.
Ducks floating in the
pond, with the science
building in the
background, is a com-
mon sight. It is also a
common noise, particu-
larly at 6:00 am.
The Shoe Tree, located on the
path between PG and
Dorchester, has quite a history,
and an odor. It is said that when
students graduate, they throw
their old shoes up into the tree.
Sarah Young, Cindy King, Amy
Cox, Carly Treppi, Christi
Martinson, Jen Dickons, and
Brian Doss, are the SOS staff in
DC, relaxing for a little cool off
time.
A few common sights around campus are the famous peacocks and the even more famous Billy. Billy
is always there with his smiling face and an enthusiatic "Hey! How's it going?" while the peacocks,
unfortunately, may not be as eager to say hi to those passing by. Artists creating masterpieces can
also frequently be seen with their models.
Governor's Cup
In 1973, three SMC students: Pete Sarelas,
Russell Baker and Dale Rausch had the idea to
create a longer and larger race than the regular
dinghy regattas. In 19 7 4, their idea became
reality when 47 boats entered the 70-mile course
from Annapolis to St. Mary's City. A race from
the present capital to the colonial capital, also
the location of St. Mary's College of Maryland.
The race has become a SMC tradition as well as
a tradition for many in the racing world, with
an incredible post-race party. In June 1986,
Yacht Racing and Cruising (now Sailing World)
named Governor's Cup one of the top ten post-
race parties in the sailing world. (Finally, some
acurracy in the parrying status of SMC!!) Being
one of the biggest, if not the biggest, event
hosted by the College, it will surely continue it's
successful tradition.
"December 5, 1996 ar the Statehouse in Annapolis, Governor Glendening announced that
Dr. Jane Margaret (Maggie) O'Brien was named the next president of St. Mary's College of
Maryland. After 13 years of dedicated service to St. Mary's College, Dr. Edward Lewis retired
and passed the presidency to Dr. O'Brien. Over the last ten years, the College, under the
leadership of Dr. Lewis, has recruited 45 faculty members, with 97 percent now holding a
doctorate of the terminal degree in their field; increased the student SAT average from about
950 to 1215; doubled the size of the library and constructed a new 60,000 square-foot state-
of-the-art science building; renovated existing dormitories and built 81 townhouse units for
student housing; and increased private support of the College from $44,00 to $1.5 million
annually. Dr. O'Brien was unanimously elected by the St. Mary's College of Maryland board
of trustees. O'Brien holds a bachelor' degree in biochemistry (1975) from Vassar College and
a doctorate in chemistry (1981) from the University of Delaware. She served on the faculty
of Middlebury College (Vt.) from 1980 through 1991, moving up the ranks to become
associate professor of chemistry and dean of the faculty. She served as dean from 1989-91,
when she became president of Hollins College. She is the first female president at the
institution in more that 25 years." - From a December 5, 1995 Press Release
Welcome Maggie and Thank you Ted!!!
Dr. Lewis stands proudly next to his portrait which was painted by his son, Steven. This portrait is
hanging on the wall in the library next to the past leaders of St. Mary's. Dr. & Mrs. Lewis are quite the
athletic type, jogging in the Farewell to Ted Run. Thanks for your many years of dedication to SMC.

STUDENT LIFE
The complaint "there 's nothing to
do here " unfortunately can be
heard quite often on our beauti-
ful campus. Yes, it's true, there
are no shopping malls, or even
that much of a nightclub to go
dancing at that's under an hours
drive away. None of that stops
the majority of our students
from finding the many things
there are to do on our campus.
A glance in The Bulletin or a
call to Student Development
can give you the latest update on
campus activities. With just
about every club for every inter-
est, anyone can find something
to do. A creative, adventurous
mind is all that's needed to have
fun.
teEi&MLSl
Having these very "innocent"
looking young men meeting and
greeting the incoming students,
can very easily make parents
wonder what's really going on in
the "jungle" behind those ties
and smiling faces. Dorchester is
the only all-male residence hall.
Within these halls, guys will be
making long lasting friendships
and bonding all through the
night.
I Welcome v

Pillows that will be used
during the day, computer
keyboards that will be busy
the night before the paper's
due, and fans to help control
the sweltering heat of the
residence halls during the
hotter months are just a few
common things you'll see
within the dorms.
THE GREAT CARDBOARD BOAT RACE
12
The Great Cardboard Boat Race,
sponsored by the SMC Waterfront,
in its third year, is the most popular
activity during Parents Weekend.
Students are given 2 pieces of
carboard, 12 pieces of wood (each
about 8'xl"x2"), 3 rolls of duck tape,
2 pieces of plastic wrap (4'xl2') and
twine. With this material, they have
to construct a boat that will be able
to go to "Church Point" and back the
fasteds and without sinking in the
process. There is $1000 in the pot for
the winners of first and second place
in two divisions, sailors and non-
sailors.

13
WAT ERFRONT
The waterfront is always a very interesting place to hang out. A volleyball game is a common
sight at the waterfront during nice weather. Kayak basketball, however, is a slightly different
sight, not seen quite as often but just as fun.
14
Kavaking has become a very popular
pastime, ever since the waterfront
introduce them. It can be a very
peaceful activity, or a very wet and
entertaining time.
P.S. Proper kayak safety should
always be observed for fear of the
Waterfront Staff.

AIDS WALK
3
r
'95 ">
SMC students are very active
in supporting many causes.
Umar Hasan, the former
Assistant Director of Student
Development and Director of
Forensics, is remembered by
students and friends in the
AIDS Walk '95. Umar passed
away due to AIDS on October
24, 1994.

Nighthawks caught sleeping on the
job. Normally they would be out
roaming campus until 2 a.m.
escorting and being the eyes of
Public Safety in those little hard to
reach areas of campus.
Calvert residents are revolting
against their permanent quiet
hours. Those rebels!!

Peugeot, just checking out the
scenery.
19
Many students enjoyed the
huge BUBBLIN' hot tub that
was situated on the grassy lot
in the middle of the dorms on
Cu- H
the hill. In the dead of winter,
no one could ever imagine
^^^^^
they would see so many Col-
â–
lege kids running around in
M ^1
their bathing suits!

20
Many students learn the tricks of the
trade when it comes to sex from THE
SEX GUY. His entertaining and
laidback yet educational program, had
many students laughing about the
normally taboo issue of sex.
Honors Day is well attended by many
different students to give a wide variety
of opinions. Also, we got a free day off
school, since we don't believe in
celebrating REAL holidays here at
SMC!!
21
CAREER DAY
Many students use career day as a way to
launch their future. Having employers
from all over the state representing their
respective organizations is a great way to
make initial contacts and get your foot in
the door. This event is sponsored by the
Career Center, Internships, and Student
Development. Even Ted appears at
Career Day. Perhaps he's looking for a
new job once he retires from SMC?!?!
22
Paul Schultheis teaches students
about basic cat maintance and how
to fix minor car problems yourself.
POW Eugene McDaniel tells students
about his experiences in Vietnam,
where he was a POW for seven years.
He lectured on the forgotten POW's
of our country and what it means to
be an American and National Pride.
He is very active in educating the
public and lobbying to make sure
that the Federal Government
doesn't ignore our POW's.

Since all of us, at one time or
another, have eaten in the dining
hall, we all know the ups and
downs of the food. However,
Rita can always be counted on to
bring a smile to your grimacing
face with her friendly "Hey
Baby!" Some exciting new and
improved food tables are the ice
cream machine and the new salad
bar island. The Woods Company
is making an effort to make
our dining hall a more plea-
surable experience.

DRAMA
Happy Ends, the Fall 95
melodrama with songs, was
presented by the drama
department. Music by Kurt
Weill and lyrics by Bertolt
Brecht, the original german
play was by Dorothy Lane. A
little triva fact for drama fans:
it was actually written by
Bertolt Brecht and he gave the
credit to Dorothy Lane.

SMC DANCE '95
The dramatic arts department presented SMC DANCE '95 in the Fall semester, a dance
concert which featured contemporary and traditional works.
27
Top: Cypress Creek became a very popular band in their years here, playing
every opportunity they had from SMC sponsored Brown Bag Lunches to
Razzberries to the Green Door.
28
Bottom: Sol Y Canto was a band brought to our school by the Foreign Language
Department giving us a taste of latino music. No one was able to sit peacefully
during the performance; everyone's toes were tapping and there was even
dancing in the aisles.
Andy Myatt,
Cary Fentzloff,
Sharon Rebeck
and Kim Ruch
are ska-ing to
some groovy
music.

WORLD CARNIVAL
32
World Carnival is quickly becom-
ing a favorite activity here at SMC.
This was the third year for WC and
the best attended yet. Honora
Batelka and Heather Davis were the
master minds behind this extrava-
ganza sponsored by the SGA's
Programs Board and Student
Developments's Event Coordina-
tors. But these weren't the only
people that volunteered many hours
to make WC a success, over 40
volunteers helped put on this event
which hosted over 2000 people.
With events such as human bowl-
ing, a dunking booth, the velcro
man , the monkey man, the shadow
who followed you around, and
many more sights to be had. Many
live bands such as Jay-Jay, Swampp,
Julius Bloom, Scrooby Groove, Hit
Me and the new hit Jewel! A good
time was all but garanteed.
33
34
Many students got to enjoy
the beautiful weather and
good music at World Carni-
val . The brave ones even
tried out the Human Fly. A
huge velcro bouncy thing that
was a sight to see and even
more fun to do!!
35
Watch out for the iron ball that
might come rolling down the waterfront
hill at you if you're not careful. This
was another way to entertain us at
College, human bowling!
Shindana Cooper is the storyteller who
entertained us in Lower Charles and also
at World Carnival.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Public Safety has become a very important part of our daily
campus lives. From the officers unlocking our doors for us
when we get locked out to solving crimes, they are well
respected and needed. They are a 24 hour service with 4
Public Safety officers and 3 sworn Police officers, full- and
part-time radio dispatchers and student security patrol
assistants (Nighthawks as we know them). The are
headed by Director Harry Tafe and Assistant Director
JoAnn Robinson with Risk Manager Flo Devine.
