Acknowledgements The photo on this page accurately illustrates how I have frequently felt — both physically and emotionally — many days during the last year and a half. The feeling usually overtook me every time I ' d walk into the Yearbook office. When 1 took on the rather monumental task of editing the Yearbook, 1 knew that it would be rough, but 1 felt that with a concentrated effort, the job could get done in short order. Little did I know how many little things could go wrong, and what far-reaching effects those little problems could have. But there are too many little problems to list — and really who gives a damn anyway? All that matters is that this book is finally finished. The completion of the 1979-80 Yearbook would have been impossible were it not for quite a few helpful people. Equally important were the people who were not helpful — people who created problems for the Yearbook and tried to hinder its completion. They gave me the fortitude to stick with it and get the book out. 1 won ' t name these people — they know who they are. But 1 will name those that helped, in some way, complete the book; I ' d like to thank Ray Gilgenbach of ICP for all of his help during the last year and a half; Al, Greg and Darrel of Mar- shall Photographers; John Pennisi, Sam Chairelli the Dupli- cating Staff; Harry Horewitch the Mail Services Staff; Pat Szymczak Bernie Szymkowiak of Alumni Affairs; Gyrille Brennan; all of the people at Public Safety; Larry Berstein; Ben Myers, Van Dien Ngyen Dave Doehler; Ray Roth Sandy Flores from Purchasing; Maria Ramirez and Joan Nordberg from Student Activities; Jim Frelk, Gus Gramas, Tom Joseph, Steve Gold from Student Senate; Carol Gillen Rick Vega from CCAB; President Ronald Williams Jean Kelchauser; Greg Czapla Dean Paul; the UNI Print; University Relations; the Media Board; and Jay Ikezoe Mark Sorbi. I also want to give extra special thanks to people that I have considered my closest and dearest friends during the last year and a half: Monica Dailey, Azra Puskar, Gayle Tallackson, and especially Joe Wright. If it were not for these people, I think 1 would have thrown in the towel. There is one more group of people I ' d like to thank: The 1979-80 Graudates and the Students of UNI — thanks for be- ing so patient. I hope you like what we ' ve done. — If any of you do, I ' d sure like to know! Bill Naras Yearbook Editor
