...terrors. Hitting a hot 56% of their shots last week, the fast-breaking Terrapins rolled over Virginia 93-74 to register their 14th victory in a row-and make good on Driesell's promise to build his team into "the U.C.L.A. of the East." True to his word, Maryland as of last week was ranked No. 2 behind the West Coast's six-time national champions. "Sellin'," says Lefty, "that's all there is to coachin...
Bang. Driesell arrived with a splash-a four-column ad in the Washington Post informing four local high school stars that "the University of Maryland needs you." The N.C.A.A. censured the gimmick ("They found it distasteful," Driesell says with distaste), but one of the prospects, Jim O'Brien, currently the team's second highest scorer, found it "pretty original" and signed with Maryland. Driesell's second season with the Terrapins began with another bang-a punch in the mouth administered by a 240-lb. South Carolina player during a full-court brawl.

They rose at 5:30 a.m. to the clang of a seminary bell, attended compulsory early Mass, skittered around the campus in long black cassocks. They ate their meals silently while a prefect read from learned books. But neither its cloistered atmosphere nor its age (founded in 1869, it was the oldest Jesuit theologate in the U.S.) prevented Woodstock from being the nation's most dynamic institution of Roman Catholic theology...
...Catholicism that such men fashioned could no longer be contained in strict cloisters. Gradually, the Maryland campus became more relaxed. Then, in 1969, Woodstock abandoned its country retreat altogether to move to New York City's clangorous, ecumenical Upper West Side, where its students could live cheek by jowl with rabbinical candidates and Union Theological Seminary's liberal Protestants. They would also be able to minister to the whole polyglot, polycaste world of the Secular City, and that they did-tutoring in Harlem, working in the U.N., in drug clinics, in mental health, with the aged.
