Born on Aug. 22, 1917, in College Park, Md., Roland “Ort” Ortmayer was destined for greatness. Yes, greatness is a broad word that can mean many things, but that is what Ort was to the many people he influenced in his life.
He sits back in his recliner and remembers a time when he and his friends went to the top of the neighboring foothills and created an “L” on the side of it. He remembers when he used to live in the Miller Hall dormitory and even a time before the Campus Times.
Since 1919, the Campus Times has gone through a number of changes. Over the years, there have been multitudes of technological advancements within the communications industry and the Campus Times has always kept up with the trends with enthusiasm and interest.
