- Well it says so right here in the Fall 1992 "The Terrapin" Maryland
- Athletics Newsletter. On page 5...
-
- As Coach Duffner's Terrapins exit their new quarters to
- take to the field they will for the first time in Byrd
- enjoy a tradition that has been a part of Maryland for
- over five decades. Between the complex [Byrd Center]
- and end line will sit Testudo. His nose will be available
- for the players to touch for good luck as they kick off a
- new century."
-
- UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
- Ever since I first attended this University, the administration
- has cowtowed to the Athletic Department. I could almost understand
- if they added revenue to the university, but if I understand correctly
- they actually use money. And now they are taking a great STUDENT
- tradition (rubbing Testudo's nose for good luck) and turning it
- into one for the Athletes only.
-
- WHO DO WE TALK TO TO PREVENT THIS FROM
- HAPPENING?
