1982-1983 e Ebony Ivory A By Karhy Ryan The Ebony and Ivory dance at Daugherty Hall this Spring was the first social event at the University designed to be an interracial event. The Black Student Union, Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, Theta Chi Fraternity and the Housing and Residence Life staff sponsored the March 4 dance to help ease racial tension on campus. It helped to break the bar- rier of bringing whites and blacks together, explained Kelvin Glymph, president of the Black Student Union. Ev- eryone saw that it didn't take much effort. It was very posi- live. Kelvin, who organized the event, also said, We wanted to have a party that was for every- one and anyone. There were around 400 people at the dance about 250 whites and 150 ien Scratch The Blue Hen Yearbook Success blacks. The whole University was invited to the dance, explained Jim Fiore, a Theta Chi brother and President of the fraternity who helped organize the event. 1 think it was a good event to have because there hasn't been much interaction between blacks and whites in campus functions. It was great. Everyone came and danced, and the music was outstanding, said Lynn Ja- losky, an Alpha Chisister. The last people stayed until 3:30 that night! Ebony and lvory was so successful that the event re- ceived coverage in an article in a national campus magazine called The National Campus Repori, Very positive! Police Add On By Michael J. Balog Throughout the year, the area around the Department of Public Safety building has been in a state of constant change. An addition to the original building doubled the office and storage space and added a new garage for the ambulance. The ambulance had been stored outside, but the weather and vandals proved to be dam- aging to its operation. The new facility will offer room for maintenance and storage of the ambulance, and an indoor training area for the crew. In addition, there is additional room for offices. The enlarge- ment will allow for growth in the communication center, thus permitting a quicker response lo emergencies. The expanded reception area should allow for easier and faster sales of park- ing permits in the Fall Turn It Off By Michael J. Balog One year ago, the Resident Student Association encour- aged students to conserve ener- gy in their dorms for one week, Campus-wide, energy usage fell by 8.3 percent, and on North Central campus winners of the contest energy usage fell by 16.5 percent. This year, North Central won the contest once again with a convincing 42.6 percent de- crease. Campus-wide energy consumption fell 16.7 percent. The contest is viewed as the students' way of showing the administration that they do care about energy conservation, and that they can do something about it. The RSA hopes that students will try to save energy all year long. Six More $ By Michael J. Balog On MNovember 15, the cost of a six-pack shot up by 30g. The cul- prit was not the brewing compan- ies, but the state of Delaware. The new Bottle Law, requir- ing a five-cent deposit on all glass bottles and non-aluminum cans under two quarts, went into effect on that day. The purpose of the law was to help preserve and protect resources, reduce litter, and re- duce the cost of clean-up. The law has a ten-month phase-in period, and on July 14 all glass bottles and cans that are not aluminum must be certified as refillable. University students coped with the problem in the usual way they circumvented it. They bought alumninum cans or went into Maryland, which has no bottle bill, to buy glass. Anything to save put- ting down a deposit! What Is Hen Scratch Over the course of the year, many news stories dealing with the campus, the community, the na- tion, and the world have influenced the lives of students here at the University of Delaware. The staff of The Blue Hen has attempted to capture some of the highlights of the most important ones as a per- manent record on these pages.

Five fien Scratch The Blue Hen Yearbook Travel The World By Beth Bell London, Vienna, Israel, or Taiwan; where would you like to go to school? The study abroad programs at the University enable many students to gain academic cred- its while visiting a foreign coun- try. These programs are offered yvear-round for one semester, the entire year, or for winter or Summer Sessions. Dr. David L. Stixrude, Asso- ciate Professor of Spanish, said that the University has its own semester programs to Vienna, London, and Costa Rica, where a different professor takes the By Ellen Haificld A University Police crack- down of underage drinking at tailgates this Fall resulted in a few arrests and many upset Blue Hen Football fans. Several Freshmen were ar- rested and fined at the opening game this year. In addition, kegs, taps, and buckets were conliscated when underage peo- ple were caught drinking at in- dividual tailgates. Tailgating Rules Enforced group to one of the countries each year. Other University programs to different countries or cities are also recognized by the University of Delaware. The University is also affili- ated with Central College, which offers study programs in Vienna, Paris, and Granada, Spain. Scholarships on the basis of merit and need are also awarded Lo students who apply. Many students take this op- portunity every year. Some go only for a semester, which is be- coming much more popular, ac- cording to Stixrude, but others still go abroad for the entire year. The rigid enforcement of these laws was attributed to the problems associated with un- derage drinking, such as loud- ness, loitering, vandalism, and other forms of disorderly con- duct, Most students, fans, and alumni strongly opposed the new crackdown and felt that it was a threat to the University's traditional tailgating. 71982-1983 Snowstorm Paralyses State By Susan Haojer During the first weekend of Spring semester, University of Delaware students were wel- comed with the worst snow- storm the state had experienced in many years. This blizzard, which began on Friday, February 11, and continued throughout the week- end, covered the entire Dela- ware area with a blanket of snow. Although the snow was pretty to look at, it created many problems. The University Shuttle Bus System was run- ning up to an hour or more late on Friday afterncon, and had stopped running early Friday evening. By the weekend, only emergency vehicles were al- lowed on the roads, and Gover- nor Pete DuPont had declared Delaware a state of emergency. Despite the inconveniences caused by the snow, U of D stu- dents appeared to take a less se- rious view of the situation. All over campus students were en- gaged in massive snowball fights, sleigh rides, and continu- ous wipe outs on the ground. Although automobiles were prohibited, this did not deter students from finding a way to the Stone Balloon for Happy Hour on Friday. Main Street was alive with people snow-mo- biling and parading up and down the road wearing many layers of clothing. Several students on North Campus were using skis as a means of transportation. How- ever, they did not look out of place since Pencader Hill re- sembled a miniature ski slope. The entire Pencader stairs were covered with snow and you would never have known there were steps underneath. Stu- dents were having a difficult time getting up and down these steps, and finally most resorted to just sliding down on either their feet or their backsides! Although this great snow- storm did not prevent U of D students from amusing them- selves, it did keep many of them from attending classes on Fri: day and the earlier part of the following week. The fact thal Morris Library was closed an Saturday gave many students an excuse not to study. Why should we stay indoors and hit the books when we can have more fun playing in the snow outside? NFL Players Strike By Anne L. Giacoma Football fans were in a state of panic during the National Football League strike this Fall. Players and owners argued over various issues, but the players' greatest concern was that they felt they should re- ceive 55 percent of gross rew enue of the NFL. . Many hard-core football fans' attempted to soothe their foot: ball withdrawl by drinking beer and eating pretzels while watching other sports programs such as women's mud wrestling and men's indoor archery. Bul it just wasn't the same.
