Table of Contents YOURBOOK ' 78 The 480-pages of YOURBOOK ' 78 take you through the events and people that made the 1 977-78 school year your year. From the Blizzard of ' 78 to the NCAA basketball regionals, the ARBUTUS was there to cover the action. For an in-depth look at the year that was, just turn the page. Summer p. 16 The summer of ' 77 was one of fun and leisure for those who opted to stay in Bloomington. Reduced class loads gave students a reprieve from the usual rigors of academic life. The Fun Frolic and Melon Mania also offered a chance to enjoy the relaxed pace of summer. Registration Week p. 32 Registration — by the time you do it so many times, you ' d think you could get the hang of it. But it ' s still a hassle you go through at least twice a year. This year, to give students a break before classes began, lUSA sponsored the Best of Bloomington concert, resulting in a day of fun for everyone. Dusk ' til Dawn p. 38 There was a campus-wide all night party in the Union during the fall. Hopefully, you didn ' t miss it. There was free pop- corn, back massages and a banana-split eating contest. With the aid of impre- ssionist John Roarke, Groucho Marx, Woody Allen and Johnny Carson all made surprise appearances. Homecoming p. 50 In 1967, the Cardiac Kids took lU to the Rose Bowl. Ten years later, they re- united for a trip down memory lane. But the 1977 Homecoming memories weren ' t as rosy as the ones made 10 years ear- lier. The rain-plagued game against Michigan State ended in a 13-13 tie. Blizzard p. 84 The Blizzard of 78 finally gave lU stu- dents two snow days. The 14-inch snow- fall closed lU for the first time in nearly 35 years. And for lU students, there ' s no- thing like two more party days. Coal Crisis p. 92 The last thing you expected in 1 978, next to a blizzard, was an energy crisis. But sure enough, we had one. The 109-day coal miner ' s strike gave lU students a two-week extended spring break and Saturday classes as a bonus. Little 500 p. 112 TIME, NEWSWEEK and SPORTS ILLUS- TRATED hove all called it the World ' s Greatest College Weekend. It hap- pens on your campus annually. But over the years, the Little 500 has evolved into more than a bike race. And, for the first time in 1 years, the ARBUTUS gives you color coverage of Little 500 events. Sports p. 134 It was on unusual year for sports at lU. The basketball team won when it wasn ' t supposed to, and the football team won when it was. Soccer mania arrived on the scene as the lU-San Francisco game drew a record crowd. In outstanding per- sonal accomplishments, senior Pete Murao was named lU ' s first All-America gymnast.
