 7 £ Ontci- u.% i. This one's for you and I. The years you spent here were a time to explore yourself and expand your horizons. Academics, sports, organizations, life in residence halls, and free time activities around campus offered you the opportunity to find yourself. Future roads were paved through personal goals in academics. The academic pressures rested on your shoulders as you made major career choices. Academics were a top priority of Northern Iowa. A revised general education program could be seen as a new road for incoming students. Dancing to the beat of “Olympia are Orchesis members rehearsing for their performance on Parents Weekend.

 The school of business also expanded its horizons as construction was started on a new class building. Academics were important but other opportunities for growth were provided. Organizations often tied in with career goals. Some students gained professioal experience while others grew from their interaction with others. One group. United Students of Iowa, took a stand against a tuition increase and represented the student body at a meeting of the Board of Regents. Despite this, tuition was increased seven percent for the next year. With this being an election year, political organizations like Students for Dukakis and Students for Vice President Bush helped bring presidential candidates to the campus. The choice was yours as to what types of organizations you devoted your time and energy to. Sports could be enjoyed by both players and fans. Players demonstrated dedicated performances such as when the men's basketball team showed well against the Iowa Hawkeyes in December. More students purchased tickets in anticipation of a good season with the new football coach, Earle Bruce. In August, eleven basketball players along with Coach Eldon Miller expanded the borders with a tour of Europe. Through teamwork, players could achieve both personal and group goals. The residence halls became home for about 4,500 students. Because of high enrollment approximately 100 rooms were tripled. However, by the beginning of the second semester all students had been detripled. Eager eyes await a cue. Junior Panther Megan Hardman mimics The Cat at a football game. Pko iy Dtrw Vfrgan.
