overnor Mike Sullivan suggested a seven percent budget cut for the University and many areas were asked to pinch pennies. UW did an adequate job of filling the gaps created not only by the economic crises but many other factors. Although some faculty and staff positions had to be eliminated, education remained the number one priority. Student enrollment increased to approximately 9,940 students and recruiting efforts expanded. Students filled up time by, yes, going to class, studying, cheering on the Pokes, participating in campus activities, exercising, and partying. With Wyoming being the only state in the Union with an under 21 drinking age, bars and liquor stores were the businesses to own. Northridge Discount Liquors, a new liquor supermarket, did an excellent job of supplying parties. Warm beer was cost plus ten percent; what a buy! •l Opening COWBOY PARTICIPATION ' in the Sea World Holiday Bowl was recognized by University and Laramie officials as they declared Dec. 28-Jan. 1 as Cowboy Appreciation Week.

M any gaps needed to be filled in the area of sports also, and indeed they were. After the abrupt departure of two coaches, Athletic Director Paul Roach took over as head football coach and Benny Dees landed the job of coaching a nationally-ranked basketball team. University revenues increased as a result of the post-season Sea World Holiday Bowl and the television royalties from Western Athletic Conference basketball. As one gap was filled, another opened in a never-ending battle. However, no one could have done a better job of ATHLETIC DIRECTOR and head football coach Paul Roach watches intently from the sidelines. Working two jobs was no problem for Roach. He led his team to a bowl game and was voted WAC Coach of the Year. PhQto by Joe Mahoney 6 Opening
