Linked cont. ' Tir ' his year at WVU was a link for students. Seniors looked towa rd graduation and filled out resumes to recapture the four years of education. Freshmen started to experience col- lege and to grow intellectually. We saw the last game played on Mountaineer Field, watched the devel- opments of our new football stadium, saw a new football coach appointed, the Division of Theaters, FHamlet per- formance and Dr. Sheehan speak on running. Our Homecoming and Mountaineer Weeks were successful. We won both of these football games. We also saw the completion of Woodburn Circle, which has been en- tered in the National Register of His- toric Places. Stansbury Hall was also completed, allowing more recreation area for our intramural activities. Yes, the year of 1979 was a link. The PRT was finished, the new decade was here and each student had individual experiences to let us know that we were linked, at last. The WVU Marching Band continued Its success and entertained an audience at the Meadowlands In New lersey, the field of the N.Y. Giants. Variety is the spice of life , and during Mountaineer Week there was variety in music. Crowds got too crazy and tore down the fleldgoal post after the Kentucky game at Homecoming. Cowboy hats became a popular wardrobe addition at football games and all over campus. Our World 7
