BLUE HEN II 1979 Living Environments Hassles ' Transportation Academia Football Recreation Fall Colors Winter Sports Winter in Delaware Culture Concerts Springin Delaware Spring Sports Memorids Goodbye ;, Senlors LIVING ENVIRONMENTS Student living quarters vary from holes-in-the- wall to palatial mansions. Some campus inhabitants are crammed into tiny Dickinson doubles and closet-sized Rodney singles while others languish in spacious Christiana apart- ments. Off-campus housing includes all manner of apart- ments and special housing like the Spanish House, Belmont, and the Men's Co-Op. Ewveryone can find a place to hang his hat even the Dick- inson lounge temporary housing dwellers! HASSLES It's ten of ten and you have a tem o'clock class. You jump in the car and zoom into town. Russell lot is full so you decide to give the Greystone lot a try. As you head down Main Street, however, one thousand students are crossing the road and you have to wait. Finally you move forward and THUD! into a pothole. It's now quarter after as you give up and pull into a spot in the North Chapel lot. By this time it's raining. Damn , you muitter as you walk into the empty classroom. Your Instructor had cancelled it and you forgot. Well, next on the list is your drop add. The computer gave you Advanced Inorganic in- stead of Music Appreciation like you wanted. The Registration office won't accept your form without your Instructor's signature and it just so happens he's in Hawaii at a con- vention. So you give up in disgust. On the way to the car you nearly get run over. That girl you watch in Bio was walking in front of you and you didn't see the car coming. When yvou get to your car, a Security officer is just driving away. Your car has been ticketed because you have not bought a new sticker yet. What a day! Time to head for the Park for a few cold ones. It's hassles like these that drive people to drink! A i Tl'r'im 1 TRANSPORTATION People always managed to get around and not always in the most conventional manner. Bicycles were a perennial favorite and feet a last resort but skateboards, unicycles, and roller skates were occasionally seen in use. As the price of gasoline spiralled to nearly a dollar a gallon, those who commuted by car usually left them parked all day if they were lucky enough to find an empty parking spot. ACADEMIA Nineteen seventy-nine was an- other year of practical hard studies. Students continued to turn to science, engineering, and business in hopes of building solid backgrounds for lifetime careers. Nursing and communications also maintained their high pop- ularity as majors. A new Life and Health Sciences bullding and new computer fa- cilities improved the University's academic resources. The architecture of campus bulldings and the scenery of the mall lent a traditional atmosphere te the University. The selection of a U. of D. graduate for a Nobel prize proved the University's repu- tation for excellence to be no illus!on. 10 FOOTBALL The 1978-79 fall was just about the Delaware football team's best ever as Coach Tubby Raymond's Blue Hen grid- ders soared into the Division Il national championship game December 9 in freesz- ing Longview, Texas where they bowed to Eastern lllinois by a mere point, 10-9, Along the way Delaware racked up an 8-3 regular season record before ripping Jacksonville State 42-27 and Winston- Salem 41-0 in the play-offs for the right to advance to the nationally-televised championship game. The vyear started off with a bang as the Hens hested and crushed Rhode Island 37-0. A week later it was the same story as the visiting West Chester Rams fell prey to the Hens, 56-0. The final game of the opening homestand saw Delaware pummel Western Illincis 35-7. The Hens' toughest game came the following Saturday evening under the lights at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia as powerful Temple won going away 38-7 before 26,000 fans. The next weekend proved little happier for Tubby's troops as host Lehigh scampered to a 17-0 first- quarter lead and after the Hens managed a 17-17 second half tie, the Engineers picked up a TD on a 40 yard pass with less than five minutes to go and added a field goal for a 27-17 victory, Now 3-2, Delaware returned home eager to show everyone what they could do and they wasted no time in doing so with a 260 shutout of MNorth Carolina AZT. A wvisit to Middle Tennessee's Astroturf field produced still another romp, 53-3. Misfortune befell Delaware the next Saturday in the rain at the Citadel in Charleston, 5.C. Three plays of 51, 84 and 71 yards broke the Hens' backs and they fell 21-14. Back home again, the Hens prepared for the upcoming showdown with the Villanova Wildcats by pasting Maine 48-0. It was the Hens' fourth shut- out and their sixth win against three losses. With the playeffs in the balance, the Hens edged out Villnova 23-22 and then held off Colgate 38-29 to secure their post-season berth. After demolishing Jacksonville and Winston-Salem, the Hens flew to Texas where, on a wet high school field, they could not muster their usual offensive might. Delaware's defense was true to form, yielding only ten points, but the Hens could only score nine. A 45-yard field goal attempt by Brandt Kennedy salled barely wide with time running out. RECREATION There is always something to do to fill up your spare time here in Newark. The outdoor basket- ball and tennis courts are available on sunny days and swimming, paddleball, and squash at Carpenter Sports Building are open for the more athletically inclined. Socially, the year opens with outdoor concerts at the annual Kappa Alpha block party and fol- lows through the year with dances and rush parties. Springtime brings green St. Patrick's Day beer, the 24-hour fun of Student Center Day, and open- air quaffing at the Baloon. For those predisposed to more relaxed surround- ings, the Deer Park offers a down-home atmosphere for more serious suds-sipping. To help finance these kinds of recreation, the computerized bank teller is always a willing friend. J e ...,-un-.- .d.---w- -.-.-rnf R - Autumn on the U. of D. campus, is always a spectacle. A very pleasant Indian summer made this fall season a very comfortable time of frisbees, football, and fun. As the first nip in the air hinted at winter, the trees turned their tech- nicolor tricks and witches and gob- lins haunted the leaf-carpeted lawns. By Halloween, no one could deny that another traditional year of school was well under way. 15 WINTER SPORTS It was not the best of years for Coach Ron Rainey and his Blue Hen basketball team in the 1978- 79 winter. At one point Delaware dropped 11 ball games in a row and finished out the season with a disappointing 5-22 mark. There was one bright spot: the Hens' 96-88 victory over ECC champ Bucknell at Delaware Field- house in the last reqular season game. Rainey cleared his bench and everyone responded with a superb performance, especially senior and team captain Mark Man- cini. The schedule proved tough for Delaware, as they had to face high- caliber teams such as Virginia Tech, Virginia, Temple, and 5t. Joe's. One early Hen victory showed their potential as Delaware rocked perennial power South Carolina 84-72 in Roanoke, Va. Unfortunately, that potential never again surfaced, with the exception of the final Bucknell game and one or two other con- tests. Delaware beat Glassboro by a point to improve their mark to 2-6 just after the new year be- gan, but following was a tough 72-70 setback on the road to Fair- field College, as well as road losses to Howard, Vermont, and Virginia. The ECC again proved competi- tive as teams like Hofstra, Lehigh and West Chester managed to out- shoot the Hens, as well as usual strongholds Lafayette and Buck- nell, WINTER Winter has a special quiet beauty. The weather is often cold and damp, forcing students to stay in- side and study but the inconveniences are made up for by a sudden overnight snowfall. Snow stills the scene, putting everything under a blanket and hush- ing the air. True, it is slippery to walk in and makes for frequent falls but it sure is pretty to lock at. 18 CULTURE A university the size of Delaware has a tre- mendous ability to atiract talent of a high degree. Cultural events this year Included a series of concerts by Instrumental ensembles, performances by viriuosos llke Miguel Rubio, and spectacular plays like Annle, Get Your Gun and As You Like It . CONCERTS The Student Program Associa- tion pulled off a major coup this vear by securing authorization to hold large-scale concerts at the field house. Stellar perform- ances by Eddie Money and Dave Mason set a precedent for con- tinuing success in hosting popu- lar rock artists. CONCERTS 1979 was definitely the year for good music. Local 'old favorites' like Johnny's Dance Band and George Thoroughgood continued to make new friends as both performers' sec- ond albums made their debuts. Big-time artists were no strangers here, either. Livingston Taylor and Dan Fogelberg appeared in a series of concerts held at the field house. Fogelberg filled the house to capacity with the largest crowd seen in years. SPRING Spring at the U. of D. means one thing: people. They crawl out of the woodwork every- where to soak up the first rays of the returning sun. After the enforced confinement of a dreary winter everyone wants to get outside. Joggers dot the scenery as people stroll around the mall. The tennis and basketball courts ring with sounds of amateur athletes. Students start looking for rides to Florida as Spring Break is on the way. And sure as the re- turning songbirds, high school seniors and their parents come to take a look at the campus in flower. s beveRae z SPRING SPORTS The 1979 spring was the most successful ever for Delaware's two main warm-weather sports, base- ball and lacrosse. Coach Bob Hannah's Blue Hen sluggers came within one game of qualifying for the College World Series, but were eliminated by Arkansas 4-3. On the year, the Hens finished 38.-16, winning the ECC Championship along the way with a shocking victory over Temple, highlighted by catcher Herb Orensky's sixth-inning grand slam. For the Delaware lacrosse team, it was a season that pushed the program into the big-time. Roockie coach Bob Shillinglaw guided his laxmen to a 13-2 record, the only losses being to tough Washington E Lee 15-10 in Virginia over spring break, and in the season finale at home 21-15 against the mighty Maryland Terrapins, who went on to the national championship game only to lose to Johns Hopkins. Victories came over the likes of UMBC, Towson State, University of Baltimore, Princeton, Washing- ton College, and the Air Force Academy. The Hens notched an- other ECC Championship, and Shillinglaw came to describe his team as the Cardiac Kids for their habit of winning each game by only a goal or two. Starring for the Hens was senior midfielder John MeCloskey, the team's leading scorer. Rookie talent Moses Marone scored 29 goals. The season finale against Mary- land drew 2500 people, the largest crowd to ever attend a lacrosse game on the Delaware campus. The Hens finished 15th in the Division lacrosse poll. GOODBYE For those graduating in 1979 it was a year of things to remember. The same old places take on a certain charm owver the years. The walks in the rain, the snow, the parties, and the long drive for a weekend at home will all be just memories. But the University remains, Like the trees on the mall it stands firmly rooted in the traditions of the past. The University will still be here in the fall and if you're not - somebody will take your place. mw 32 SENIORS It was a rainy, stormy night, the first Saturday in October of 1976, when the act debuted. On the saturated astro-turf of Phila- delphias Franklin Field, a sopho- more quarterhach started his second collegiate game. Dela- ware's opponent was Teml;:lz1 the traditional thern in an already challenging schedule. When the mist had cleared, that quarterback, Jeff HKomlo, got the rose. Temple got the thorn. An 18-16 win over a team that was heavily favored, An 18- 16 win, riden on the arm and legs of a quarterback who didn't feel the pressure. An 18-16 win that sent the Blue Hens on their way to an B-3-1 season and an NCAA play-off berth. An 18-16 win in which a rookie quarterback forgot he was inexperienced and com- pleted 10 of 16 passes for one touchdown and 201 yards while running for the other two touch: downs himself, Two years later, after Jeff Komlo had started 34 consecu- tive games at quarterback, lost only nine of those contests, and completely rewritten the Blue Hen record book, Temple coach Wayne Hardin paid him a com- pliment, Jeff has always had one heck of a game against us, sald Har. din, who had coached Roger Stau- bach at the Naval Academy, and I congratulate him on an excep- tional career at Delaware. He throws the ball exceptionally well and can play anywhere and with anyoene. l am sure Jeff has an outstanding career ahead of him. When the dust had cleared af- ter the 1978 season, the list of accomplishments neared monote- ny. Kemle broke Tom Dimuzic's records for most passes com- pleted in a season 188, and in a career 359, passes attempted in a season 332 and in a career 686, most passing vardage In a season 2677 in 1978, and in a career 5254, and finally, most total offensive yards in a season 2620 and in a career 5417. In the 30 regular season games he started, HKomlo garnered ECAC All-East Weekly awards 12 times including seven in 1978. Ironically, he was on the weekly All-East teamn for his play ina 17- 15 loss to the Citadel in 1976, That was the last game Komlo didn't start, But football games aren't won on the stat sheet, they are won on the field. That is where Komlo excelled. He captained the Wing- T offense with confidence and dauntlessly called his own plays. His trademark, from that upset win over Temple until his last waltz on a frozen Longview, Texas, high school field was that Jeff Komlo always kept his cool. An examp'e occurred in the NCAA semi-finals against Win- ston-Salem. With Delaware fac- ing a fourth-and-goal at the 30- vard line after a series of pen- alties, Komlo faded back to pass. He rolled left and found ne- body. He rolled right, eluded tack- lers, and still found nobody in the clear. Finauy, as Winston-Salem tacklers clung to his blue and geld mesh jersey, Komlo released a pass that threaded the secondary and found a home in the arms of tight end Mike Mill. Touchdown. Komlo strutted confidently off the field. As the 1978 season closed, Komlo was named to the Associ. ated Press and Kodak All-Ameri- can teams. Five days before the NCAA title game in Texas against Eastern lllinois, he confided that I'd trade all the awards for that championship ring. The championship ring wish fizzled against a stingy Eastern lllinois defensive line and on a slippery field that thwarted Dela- ware's potent running attack. Komlo tossed 34 passes and com- pleted a career-high 21, but was hurt by an interception and an offense that fumbled six times. But the ring can be forgotten now and the awards put in the trophy case. A pro football team is waiting in the wings, Including the Kansa City Chiefs, employers of the Delaware Wing-T offense. Play it cool, Jeff, real cool. Kevin Tresolini OTWOX A43r 35 l Lynda Ann Ahl Susan Jean Allen James 5. Andersen Julie Anne Anderson Fl.ld.ay Andrews Marc Ang,ph.lln Susan K.

Correll This student is taking advant- age of a recent innovation at the U of Dcomputer lessons by PLATO. The PLATO project is a system of computer-based education which allows students to interact individually with programmed material. The system was pioneer- ed at the University of Illinols in the early Sixties and was insti- tuted at Delaware in 1975. Ap- proximately 1800 students per semester in thirty departments receive computer-supplied audio and graphic supplementary les- SOMNS. Delaware's independent PLA- TO system can provide tu- torial assistance, teach Fresh- man Ear Training, and simulate laboratory experiments. FLATO provides a new brand of flexible, personalized instruction in a time when crowded classrooms and high student faculty ratios are making such individual attention more difficult. 47 Marianne M.

Lacz The University Farmhouse is the most recent addition to the special housing residences. In. tended primarily for agriculture- oriented students, the Farmhouse provides a fresh alternative to dorm life. Located on the grounds of the University's Experimental Farm, residents can enjoy the benefits of a wide lawn and fresh air. Spe- cial programming includes bao- tanical tours of Longwood Gar- dens, bonfires, cookouts and hay- rides. HResident do their own cooking usually collaborating in small groups and work to main- tain a country farmhouse at- mosphere. As one resident puts it: The people here are great. We go to square dances and discos on the same night. Back Row: Jerry Wheeler, Moreen Quig- ley, Susan Dansky, Tom Kouwbek, Jane Chiffard, N.am:y Thirlwall, Kevin Hellam, Dannie Dukes.

In 1978 she helped the Hens battle to a third place finish in the nationals in Denver, Colorado, and near Seattle, Washington, in 1979 fought to a second place spot after a 3-0 loss to local nemesis Waestchester, She also played on a team in the Olympic Committee Sportsfest.

Students and local residents mingle in the warm sun. shine and fresh breezes to cele- brate the official end of winter. Continuous music by student performers fills the background for a day of activities and games like egg-tossing, pie eating and tug-of-war. Munchies are plentiful and local craftsmen set up booths for display and sale of everything from jewelry and leather goods to T-shirts. It the winds are right, an exhi- bition of precision skydivisng skill tops off the afternoon activities, Owerall, it's a great way to spend the first sunny Saturday of spring. 100 Chester E.

For three years she has worked part-time as a teller at the Student Center branch of the Farmers' Bank of Delaware, I'm usually noticed away from school. In Florida over spring break and at parties at away foot- ball games I've seen dozens of people pointing and saying 'Oh, look there's the bank teller. Elaine iz a Business Administra- tion - Finance major from Wilm- ington. Although she plans to aim for a career in corporate finance, her work during school and es pecially her moere managerial duties in the summer she sees as valuable experience. For a parttime job, you can't beat it. You get to meet a lot of people -1 guess that's the best part. Bath Ann Suhl,' Dlvis Subero Richard P, Supina Robert G. Sudsl Douglas D.
