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.

Entertainment p. 212 Entertainment-wise, the 977-7Q year gave you a wide variety of performers. From Steve Martin getting small in the Auditorium to Foreigner appearing at lU for the very first time, the Bloomington entertainment scene offered it all. There were also operas, plays, ballets and the lU Auditorium Theatre and Dance Series. You had quite a range to choose from. Focus on You p. 246 Who were the people who helped to shape the year? Some were well-known around campus. Others, in their quiet way, went about lU making decisions that in one way or another affected you and your university. For a behind-the-scenes look at these people, YOURBOOK ' 78 presents a special section — Focus on You. Academics p. 258 Bloomington — a town many consider Utopia. With so many diversions avail- able, it ' s often easy to forget that all- important thing — studying. But that ' s why you ' re here. Business students slav- ing over Medicus, jittery musicians per- forming senior recitals and education majors student teaching in the real world — they ' re all a part of academic life at ID. For a closer look at this part of lU life, see the academics section. if ' ' . ' i y- ' Kr ' ' ;- ii-. ' -T. . wK -? : H. m mm i% mm ' % - flSH : i ' tmM H% ' m l P Vl wm ■r v - J ■f R ■ ' ■ : .- .

From working on the college newspaper to putting together a campus movie schedule, you can always find your spot in one of the many organizations around lU. Lifestyles p. 348 Dorms, apartments, houses and trailers — they all offer you a place to make your home. But which one is right for you? YOURBOOK ' 78 takes an inside look at the various lifestyles available to lU stu- dents and the reasons behind their cho- sen way of life. Greeks p. 382 Greek living is more than wild keggers, boresses, dances and serenades. Philan- thropies play a major role in the lives of lU ' s nearly 5,000 fraternity and sorority members. For a different look at Greek life, the 1978 ARBUTUS offers a look at these philanthropic fund-raising efforts. Seniors p. 432 After four years of work, this is what it ' s all about — getting your picture in the lU yearbook. But this year ' s senior section also contains car- toons on student life and what you ' ll remember about your senior year at lU. Index p. 463 The index offers you the easiest way to find yourself in the 1978 annual. If you can ' t find yourself, then look for some of your friends. Arbutus Staff p. 477 The Chief, Looney, Mikey and Re- write — they all helped to put to- gether YOURBOOK ' 78. For a closer look at the complete cast of charac- ters who took part in this escapade, flip to the staff pages in the back of the book.
