Description
An account of the resource
Aerial photographs of campus have been made periodically throughout UMBC's history. This 1969 view shows various ongoing construction projects, including the first dormitories (slightly above and left of center), the Physical Plant building (now the Public Safety Building) along Hilltop Circle (then called The Loop," which was only half finished), and the beginnings of site preparation where the Administration Building would be built. Along the top of the photograph may be seen I-95 under construction as well as its intersection with Rt. 166 at the top right. Kuhn recognized that having the interchange would be critical for UMBC, so he approached Governor Tawes in 1966 and asked for the interchange to be put into the I-95 plans. When Tawes asked John B. Funk, Chairman of the Maryland State Roads Commission, to make the change, Funk resisted by saying: We're just about done, we don't want any more projects." Tawes replied: You're going to have to put one in to have access to UMBC."

Graduation mace, 1986

Description
An account of the resource
Commencement at UMBC is a celebratory yet traditional affair. The faculty wear regalia denoting their academic field and graduate school, campus administrators and student leaders are on hand to offer inspiration and congratulations, and honorary degrees are awarded to notable men and women. Other traditional and frequently overlooked elements of commencement are the ceremonial batons and mace. These short wooden staffs are decorated with metal emblems and are carried by campus leaders that represent the students, staff, and faculty at UMBC. These representatives, or marshals, are traditionally the current Presidential Teaching Professor, representing the student community; the current Presidential Research Professor, representing the faculty; and the current Presidential Distinguished Staff members representing both Professional and Non-Exempt staff at UMBC. The mace, similar to the batons but a little larger, is carried by the Grand Marshal, typically the President of the Faculty Senate. The current mace was a gift from the Alumni Association in 1986 in honor of the 20th anniversary; similarly, the batons were gifts of the Alumni Association in 2006 in honor of the 40th anniversary. Before 2006, staff in the University Relations department designed and built the batons in-house.

Description
An account of the resource
Shakespeare on Wheels was created by UMBC Theatre professor William Brown. While teaching at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, his mobile Elizabethan stage traveled more than 4,000 miles throughout the country, and in 1985, the UMBC Theatre Department adopted the idea to bring Shakespeare to Baltimore. The department funded A Midsummer Night's Dream as an academic summer session class, with a stage set mounted on a rented flatbed travel trailer. The 11-performance production was a success and the department continued the project every summer through 1994. The goal of Shakespeare on Wheels was to provide free, high-caliber and accessible theatre for the people regardless of their race, age, abilities, religion, or economic status," and the success of the project allowed it to expand to nearly 60 performances at 28 sites.

Description
An account of the resource
The first issue of the student newspaper in 1966 reported that the university would install a Student Government Association that would provide for self-government under the jurisdiction of the university's administrative and faculty personnel." The article set forth that the SGA would create the policies that governed the activities and welfare of students and advise the administration of the student viewpoint on matters affecting student life. The first step in creating the SGA was the formation of a Student Elections Board Committee, selected by the Student Life Office. Doug Gordon was elected by the student body as SGA president, in addition to Ken Walters, vice president; Barry Sugar, treasurer; and Margaret Masse, secretary.
In the April 1987 SGA election, Will Backstrom and Jerry Sadler won with 309 votes, a fifty-three vote margin over the closest runner-up. The Backstrom/Sadler campaign didn't make any promises to students, which was a move that The Retriever Weekly reported was intentional as Sadler believed previous SGA winners often made promises they didn't have the power to keep."
