OOTBALL The 1982 Wolf Pack had an up and down season. During its first four games it suffered heartbreaking losses. In no game was it humiliated. The losses came in close games, and the final scores rarely showed more than a few points difference. At the beginning of the season the Wolf Pack seemed to have an endurance problem — they played well, and often led, until late in the fourth quarter. The team wasn ' t doing that much wrong; they just weren ' t doing that much right. In their fifth game UNR ' s luck changed. The fifth game was homecoming, and the Pack won in a beautifully played game. Quarter- back Marshall Sperbeck and his receivers seemed invin- cible in leading Nevada to its first win. The next week UNR added its second win and set an all-conference record in kicking. Honors in this area were earned by kicker Tony Zendehas. In the same game UNR ' s oppo- nents set an all-conference passing record. UNR contin- ued their winning streak for another two weeks on the road, bringing what had at first been thought to be a losing season to 50% with the momentum of four wins in a row behind the team. The next week an elated team may have been overconfident or may have been facing an unusually talented opponent, but the Wolf Pack dropped a close game bringing their season to 4-5 with two regular season games remaining. The next week things began to look up again with a win that once again gave the Wolf Pack a 50% season. As this yearbook went to print the football team was preparing for their final game — the game which would determine whether or not 1982 would be a winning season or the first losing season since Head Coach Chris Ault was hired at UNR. Whether they win tomorrow or not, though, the team ' s phenomenal midseason recovery makes the 1982 foot- ball season one that won ' t soon be forgotten.

A DAY OF CREATION September 24th ' s ASUN all-school picnic had some sur- prises for students. The first surprise was an unwelcome one: no beer could be served because of some problems with nearby classes still in session during the picnic. But, in spite of no beer, the several hundred students who attended seemed to enjoy the bar-b-qued chicken, potato chips and soda. The second surprise was infinitely better — Denny Dent. Denny is an artist with a unique presentational style. He begins, clad in a spattered paint- er ' s smock facing a ten-foot canvas with buckets of paint at his feet and brushes clutched in each hand. He begins by explaining that he needs the crowd for energy . To this end he also paints to music. He paints in time to the music. The faster the beat, the faster he paints. As he splashed the colors across the canvas he became more and more frenzied, at one point stopping to exhort the crowd to let him know they were behind him and to throw off his smock. It was difficult to recognize any- thing on the canvas as first, except to note that the bright, happy colors seemed appropriate for the first sunny day in Reno in a week. It was not until the final paint was flung that the crowd recognized Jimmy Hen- drix. It was about this time that most of the onlookers realized Denny had been painting to Hendrix ' music. Dent performed again later the same afternoon. The product of his later performance was John Lennon. l mn j 19
