The Year Memories of summer’s good times were of j little help to students waiting A J in never-ending registration lines. The hassles of starting all over again greeted students back to the University of Arkansas. Greetings also came from friends — old and new — along with a choice of parties. As enrollment increased to over 13,500, finding a place to stay became almost as difficult as getting a seat at Razorback pep rallies. The selection was varied, but rooms tilled fast. Whether choosing a dorm, fraternity sorority, or apartment, minds had to be made up quickly by those who had waited a little too long. Others were secure in their nine-month homes and went about the chores of fixing up their places. The crowded conditions provided Greeks with some of the best Rush figures in years. Fraternities filled while women frosh picked the sorority houses that they wanted for their college years. Alas, the moving in fixing up had — or should have had — to take second priority behind going to class. The first day seemed forever and lines in the bookstore were even longer. Luckily, there was plenty to talk about. It was the first time in twenty years that students had to come to the University without Frank Broyles preparing the Razorback football team for another run at glory. Coach Broyles brought national prominence to Arkansas during the Sixties and Seventies. Bowl game appearances and national television exposure came to be expected under his leadership. Now he was athletic director and a legend. Lou Holtz was the new coach and the center of widespread discussions. Although parking problems, registration woes and general gripes filled in when called upon in conversations, the campus was abuzz with questions about this new little guy from New York. While Holtz belted out one-liners, he sent his Hogs through strenuous workouts. He stressed discipline. He knew replacing Frank Broyles was no easy task. He knew Razorback fans required the most from their athletic program. And he was going to give them that. The Razorbacks opened the season by whipping New Mexico State. The Holtz era had begun. Finally, the campus began to settle down. The old routine was The Year 17

The Year coming back. Symposiums, colloquiums, and plays offered relief from studies. University Theatre presented “Equus” the week before the Union’s first symposium, “Cotton to Carter.” Speakers described a resurgence for both sexes. Mortar Board (with male members for a second year) sold its traditional calendars, helping students “On the Hill schedule meetings and banquets. Only twenty-four dedicated BMOC-types were tapped of Southern influence, as evidenced by a drawl in the White House. Campus clubs began organizing themselves and their goals for the year. New members were welcomed. Title IX continued to order changes. Popular sophomore honoraries, Chimes and Cardinal XX, disappeared to form Cardinal XXX for Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Rewards for four years of mixing extra-curriculars with college meant a half-page in the 1978 Razorback. Student revelers enjoyed their early semester refuge, Dickson Street. Those who frequented the local restaurants and bars found new ones among the favorites. At the familiar old places the most significant change in lunch-hour atmosphere seemed to be the fall class of new profs and undergraduates. Sigma Nu fraternity provided a weekend in the country for the campus with Sadie Hawkins. The unshaven celebrants unleashed drunk chickens and goats upon Fayetteville — and Greeks enjoyed the traditional fall party. Texas Week came and the Hogs were unbeaten. Fayetteville had to withstand carousing unmatched since the 1969 season. Loud caravans of midnight cruisers kept the city awake, and other zealous fans visited Wilson Sharp for hog-calling serenades. Radio stations across Arkansas played football season tunes such as “Short, Squashed Texan” and “Hog Chant 101.” Tickets for the game that more than filled Razorback Stadium were precious. The team that could boast some of football’s most ardent fans inevitably had a capacity cheering section. The annual week of activities kept spirits high, but this enthusiasm could not stop the Longhorns from winning again. 18 The Year
