IT WAS lift Off at Kick off. Game exceeds expectations It all began with the crowning of Queen Sandra Darlington and a marching band salute, as approximately 2,000 people who bought balloons waited to let their “Herd Spirit fly.” As the sound of a gun filled the air, the sky above Fairfield Stadium was hidden by green and white balloons, and all in attendance knew that the 1984 Marshall Homecoming battle had begun. It was a powerful matchup as the Mountaineers of Applachian State faced the Thundering Herd of Marshall across the scrimmage line. For the second largest crowd in the history of Fairfield Stadium, the day would turn out to be exciting as Marshall time and again overpowered the Mountaineers. As halftime started, fans' spirits rose as high as the balloons at the beginning of the game as the band once again took over the field. It played a variety of songs ranging from Sinfonians March to a medley of patriotic songs as the crowd waited eagerly for the players to return. Then, once again, the Herd thundered onto the field to outclass Appalachian State 35-7. As the fans headed for post-game celebrations, all they could think of was what a difference a year makes. THE BIG GREEN marching machine prepare to perform for pre-game. Homecoming—15

THE CRACK In the Henderson Center floor following the building's construction led to a law suit against the company. THE STUDENT Center lobby was a place to go to get out of the cold. Also located off the lobby were a snack bar. bookstore and game room. Campus buildings change Buildings around the Marshall campus were in a constant process of change. First the Cam Henderson Center, which was built in 1982, won the architectural award of that year, but in 1983, the basketball arena’s floor cracked. The floor was made thinner than was specified in the contract. Also, new seats were put in the bleachers to replace the old ones because some were erected wrong. Another big accomplishment in improving the Marshall campus was the renovation of the Science building. Automatic blinds, new animal quarters, a computer center, more spacious halls and a much larger greenhouse were the main improvements made in the Science Building. The new facilities added more teaching benefits and also greatly improved the student and faculty capabilities in terms of research. Even though other changes made on campus may not have been quite as obvious as these were, Marshall University was in a constant transformation. 8uilding —17
