This week we present the third volume of UMBC's radical newspaper The Red Brick.  


The Red Brick, Volume 1, Issue 3, May 1970. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)

The Red Brick was UMBC's short lived radical newspaper during the late 1960s and the early 1970s.  The newspaper was student run and each edition contained various articles, poems, comics, and illustrations representative of the time. The second issue, for instance, mentioned the upcoming performance of Chicago Transit Authority (popularly known as Chicago) on October 19, 1969, as can be seen here.  

The Red Brick was considered "radical" during its publication due to what the community described as "un-American and obscene writings."  Many social organizations tried to protest the newspaper and stop its production but Chancellor Dr. Kuhn defended the students' rights to free speech. Despite his support, the publication eventually fell apart (after only three issues) due to continued controversy and financial mismanagement.

This week we present a photograph from the WUMD radio station (currently known as WMBC) showing a man standing by radio equipment with a list of DJs on the poster behind him. 


WUMD Radio Station Photograph, 1970s. UARC Photos-08-0816, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

UMBC's own student run freeform radio station first began broadcasting in 1972, under the name WUMD, working to provide UMBC students with the best programming in music, news, and sports. In 1998, the station went through a major transformation, renaming itself WMBC. This was partly due to the confusion of another college radio station already named WUMD (University of Michigan Dearborn) and partly in efforts to revamp the radio station with new talent, a new broadcasting antenna (for better reception), and a new name. WMBC continues to broadcast to UMBC students today,with live student DJs, musical programming, talk shows, sports broadcasts, and public service announcements.

Free hour, the hour of time every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday without scheduled classes, first began on the UMBC campus in the 1970s.  A group of UMBC students formed a Student Union, attempting to take more direct action (compared to other organizations like the SGA) in student affairs. 

The Student Union had three initial requests of the UMBC Senate.  One, to allow students, faculty, and staff to solicit donations from one another in any non-academic area and at any time. Two, for the student activities fee to be abolished (this was the most controversial of the requests) and three, for a free hour of no scheduled classes to be implemented on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. 

Student opinion on free hour ran in both directions. Some appreciated a free period of time to have club meetings or to grab lunch, while others wanted the administration to schedule classes during the hour to allow for a more flexible academic schedule. Though free hour's questionable status would continue throughout the years, it's establishment (due to the efforts of the Student Union) continued on and is still in effect at UMBC to this day, the only University of Maryland System college to have such a thing.

UMBC's first pep rally occurred in November of 1967, just a little over a year after the campus first opened. The rally was deemed a success, having brought in "one of the biggest crowds of any school-time event th[at] year" with over five hundred people gathered in the gym to participate (The Retriever, Volume 2, Number 12: page 4). The UMBC cheerleaders helped to lead the rally and boost the crowd's spirits by introducing the team and the Retriever mascot, then referred to as Sam. Hosting this pep rally was one of the university's early plans to foster a renewed sense of school spirit on campus as well as increase student support at the university's basketball games.

"Student Action Party Hagy For President" pin. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

Darryl Hagy was UMBC's second Student Government Association president.  As a member of the Student Action Party, Hagy was passionate about getting UMBC students engaged in activism and social change. For instance, he formed the College Council on Human Relations, an innovative committee focused on service learning and community involvement. During his SGA presidency, the UMBC campus also organized an event in correspondence with the National Time-Out Day in Fall of 1968 called a "Bitch-In." The campus stopped classes for the day and invited students to discuss and speak out on topics like cooperative housing, fraternities, racism, and student power.
