another piece of THE ROCK What could bring eight famous horses, 41 high school bands, a five- foot seven-inch overzealously animat- ed chicken, and over 34,000 equally enthusiastic fans together? The Slip- pery Rock game, of course! Who knows why - but for many years, Michigan fans have expressed a great deal of interest in the football en- deavors of Slippery Rock State College, listening intently at every home game for the announcement of the team ' s score. Finally, in 1979, Athletic Director Don Canham took heed of that interest and brought the first Slippery Rock football game to Michigan Stadium, supplementing the traditional Univer- sity Band Day and creating a special fes- tival for the whole campus. This year the Slippery Rock Rockets were pitted against the Wayne State Tartans. But the game itself is just one piece of the entire eventful puzzle. Ad- ded attractions this year were the ma- jestic Budweiser Clydesdales and The Chicken, one of sports ' zaniest person- alities. Hatched in San Diego, The Chicken has entertained millions across the country. His improvisations of slapstick, mime, and parody make him a living cartoon and a fitting addition to the Slippery Rock celebration. Joining in his antics was Rocky, the Slippery Rock mascot. Rocky embodies the philosophy of Slippery Rock, a small-college with the spirit and enthu- siasm worthy of Unviersity-size recog- nition. The Rockets may be small in number, but their hearts are big enough for all of us at U-M. We ' re behind you Slippery Rock! j Slippery Rock 15
