The sports scene was a special feature, containing elements of both drama and comedy. Receiving high critical acclaim were, of course, the Bulldogs, always dependable for drawing large crowds. The football team challenged for the MIAA crown until the final week of the season, coming up just short in the title game with a 21-19 decision against the University of Missouri-Rolla. Racquetball captured the public’s attention and became the newest sports craze. Tennis courts were almost always occupied, while foosball tables seemed to have magnetic powers. All-American Steve Powell talks with fans after a football game at Stokes Stadium. A tailback. Powell was the excitement of many of the season’s games. A swim team member does the butterfly during one of the daily practices at the Natatorium. Swimmers wore goggles to keep the chlorinated water from irritating their eyes. 5

Classes commenced in the new Administra- tion Humanities Building with its white chalkboards and purple chalk, while use of the old standard blackboards in Laughlin Hall was discontinued. Climactic scenes throughout the year were bomb threats during finals week and a controversial symphonic review printed in the Index. Comedy is a perennial favorite, and entertainment in this broad act encompassed many different scenes. Saturday Night Live,” “The Gong Show” and Steve Martin kept the nation in stitches, while locally, five-man troupe Duck’s Breath was sponsored by the Student Activities Board and freshman Rich Balducci added a ridiculous new dimension to KNEU. Sink It! scream Bulldog fans in Pershing Arena. Fraternity and sorority blocks often added to the game fun with spirit contests. 6
