Special Report: OSU Headlines in the closing decade . . . THE FALL semester was the first for the new beer ordinance and students had to adjust to the new law which out- lawed possession of open containers of beer on city streets and sidewalks, a common practice for many students in the past. A FRESH APPROACH was the campaign slogan of the team of Lyn- don Taylor and Ricky Marsh, who were elected the new president and vice president of the Student Government Association for 1980. THE INTERNATIONAL Year of the Child influenced this year's homecom- ing theme, Pistol Pete in Storybook Land. Floats, house decorations and signs all portrayed the theme with var- ious storybook characters and scenes. ALTHOUGH THE COWBOYS saw a defeat to Oklahoma University in foot- ball, the Pokes bounced back for deci- sive victories over their OU rival in basketball and wrestling. CAMPUS RENOVATIONS were a common sight as the Student Union, Classroom Building and athletic facili- ties all received a sort of face lift. The changes included new score- boards for baseball and sports events in Gallagher Hall. And those are some highlights of the way it was at OSU, 1979. . . 30 Campus News A new scoreboard for the baseball field ftopj was among the many renovations that were accomplish T on campus this year.
