-3------The University As the University of Minnesota, Duluth While many campuses around the nation have suffered enrollment drops and crippling financial strains, UMD has continued to attract a greater number of students and despite financial retrenchment within the University, has forged ahead with many new programs through judicious use of funding am staff. Within the past three years, UMD has initiated several major academic and degree opportunities: The professional programs represented by the UMD School of Medicine, School of Social Work and Dental Hygiene program. The Master of Education program which gives in-service teachers a chance to chart their own degree plan for professional enrichment. Master's programs in English with emphasis on junior college and secondary education teaching and a new M.A. emphasis in music education. New Bachelor's programs in earth science, interdisciplinary studies, and social development; new tweryear Associate in Arts degree in Vocational Teacher Education: new minors in dance, linguistics, anthropology and speech. An Indian Studies Program which seeks to enrich student knowledge of Indian history and contemporary issues through courses, seminars and other events . .. Through these and other planned programs, we are determined to move UMD forward toward greater excellence and service for not only the nine-county region of Northeastern Minnesota but the entire state," Provost Raymond W. Darland states. "We look forward to this new year which can bring additional changes to UMD to make it one of the finest campuses in the nation." -4------Athletic Department DIRECTOR Athletic Director Ralph Romano begins his sixth year as the guiding force in UMD's 11 sport intercollegiate program. A native of Thunderbay, Ontario, Romano moved to Duluth while in high school. He graduated from Duluth Central and continued his education at UMD, where he was a goalie with the Bulldog hockey squad. Following graduation in 1956 he served as a navigator in the Air Force. Romano returned to his alma mater in 1959 as head hockey coach and sports publicity director. He soon took on the responsi- bilities of athletic ticket manager and business manager as well as continuing to coach hockey. He relinquished his coaching job in 1967 while accepting a position as UMD assistant athletic director The retirement of Lloyd Peterson, a long time servant of the UMD athletic program, vacated the UMD athletic director's seat and Romano was the logical choice for the job. BUSINESS MANAGER - SID Bruce McLeod, a former left wing Bulldog hockey great, is in his fifth year as Romano's top assistant. McLeod, a native of Fort Frances, Ontario, is a jack-of-all-trades whose responsibilities include handling the department's finances and publicity, as well as assisting the athletic director with all his duties. McLeod EQUIPMENT MANAGER Clarence Hillman is in his fourth season of responsibility for all Bulldog team equipment as well as locker room control. Hillman's duties in elude inventory and control of varf1,ity sport equipment SENIOR SECRET ARY As senior secretary, Kathy Erickson is in charge of many special projects. Miss Erickson, handles season tickets in all sports, the North Star Scholar- ship programs, all financial ticket records, and the aid and eligibility situ- ations-all in addition to her regular secretarial duties. -5- Dulnth Arena Auditorium HOME OF THE BULLDOGS The home of the UMD Bulldogs is Duluth's Arena Auditorium built in 1966 at a cost of 6.5 million dollars. The multi-purpose building consists of an arena, auditorium, exhibition hall and s e ve n meeting rooms. A 2,000 car parking lot paved, lighted and completely maintained and guarded year round is the same level as the central lobby area and provides easy access to every portion of the comple x. The hockey arena seats 5,700 people and is well lit by 174,000 watts of cross lighting from catwalks and eight trouper spotlights in baskets all controlled from the technician's console. Every seat in the building has a clear, unobstructed view of the ice surface. A ventilating system capable of changing the air every eight minutes and air conditioning p:ovide for excellent spectator comfort. There are two spacious press boxes to accommodate radio, television and the press media. A four- sided $25,000 scoreboard above center ice tells the story of the game to every fan. There are four dressing rooms under the stands that can be made into two huge rooms which is done at UMD hockey games. The structure has been acclaimed as one of the finest faci Ii ties of its kind in the country. -6- If ------Head Coach Terry Shercliffe Coach Terry Shercliffe begins his fifth year at the Bulldog helm. Shercliffe hopes to do even better than last year's sixth place WCHA finish and a 21-16-1 overall slate. "We had great support last season," said Shercliffe, "and I hope that we can continue to provide the success and excitement necessary to build our program." Shercliffe, a native of Regina, Saskatchewan, was a three-year letterman for the Bulldog's hockey team while attending UMD. He captained the squad in his senior year and was voted UMD's Outstanding Senior Athlete Award in 1964-65. The head mentor earned a B.S. degree in physical education and following graduation, he became head hockey coach and physical education instructor at Osseo High School, where he established himself as a hardworking, winning coach. Former UMD coach and current Athletic Director Ralph Romano persuaded Shercliffe to return to UMD as an assistant coach, a position he held for four years. He also became an instructor in UMD's Physical Fducation Department. His duties as an assistant hockey coach placed him in charge of recruiting, which was a position he handled well as he brought in the best talent from the United States and Canada ever assembled at UMD. The Bulldog coach has made extra efforts to share the popularity of UMP hockey with as many areas as possible. He is a staunch believer in the Blueline Club, a club of area business men who promote UMD hockey, and he was an originator of the UMD Junior Bulldog Club, which involves the youth of the area in instructional clinics and athletic get-togethers. In addition to his never ending job of teaching and coaching, Shercliffe is married to the fonner Wilma Horen, a UMD graduate. -7- Assistant Coach Chuck Whalen Chuck Whalen begins his second season as the Bulldog's Assistant Coach. Very instrumental in last recruiting, Whalen will be counted on even more _heavily this year. "We are very fortunate to have· someone of Chuck's ability and background as part of our staff," said head mentor Terry Shercliffe. "He has an outstanding knowledge of the game." Whalen, a former UMD goaltender, has had playing experience with the Green Bay Bobcats of the United States Hockey League and includes a tryout with the Minnesota Fighting Saints in his background. Although only 24 years old, Chuck feels his hockey playing days are behind and coaching and education are his future. A native of Edina, where he learned his hockey under Will !kola, Whalen has been tabbed by Shercliffe to emphasize the recruiting of the Minnesota high school products. Head Trainer, Don Roach While most of the staff in the athletic pro~ram have an "in-season" and an "off-season' , UMD trainer Don Roach works the year round. His job as he defines it is to "prevent as many injuries as possible and to treat those injuries that do come about. People don't realize that prevention of injury is just as important-if not more im- portant-in athletic training as the treatment of injury." Roach is a native of Los Altos, Calif. He received his B.A. degree from San Jose State and taught general science and physical education in Califormia before joining an American Community School in Greece where he was a physical education instructor and a coach. Two years later Roach returned to the United States and obtained his master's degree in athletic training at Indiana before coming to UMD in 1970. Roach also trains student assistants. -8- Season Outlook "Can the Bulldogs come up with the right scoring punch and still be able to stop the opposition?" That is the question that Coach Sher- cliffe faces as he prepares for the 1974--75 season. A position by position look at the Bulldogs follows: GOALTENDING: Experience could be a problem as only junior Ken Turko returns. He helped UMD out of a mid-season slump last year, and finished the season with a 4.3 average from 9.2 games. Vying for Turko's job are sophomore Jeff Sagal (Bloomington); and freshman Rick Heinz (Essex, Ont.), and Rob Little (Edina). DEFENSE: Should be a fairly strong position as only Ernie Campe is gone. Senior Gord McDonald and junior Dave Langevin (drafted by New York Islanders) return to the left side, while jw1iors Jim Knapp and Ed O'Brien return to the right side. Sophomore Gerry Fellner (Regina, Sask.), along with freshman John Albers (St. Paul) and Bob Joyce (Winnipeg, Man.) hope for starting berths. CENTER: With top scoring Lyman Haakstad gone, the burden is shifted onto senior Scott Koidahl, who missed most of the season last year with a separated shoulder. Another proven top center iceman is sophomore Rod Jones, who led last year's freshman .in 8Coring with 29 points (fifth in overall scoring). Coach Shercliffe also has former left wing Tom Nemanick (junior) in the picture for a job at center, along with freshman standouts Doug Spoden (St. Paul) and Tim Lawson (Taconite). RIGHT WING: Probably one of the most troublesome spots this year as only two veterans return. Junior Tom Milani was fourth in scoring last season with 43 points from 26 goals and 17 assists, while sophomore Joe Nelson was tenth with 14 points. Milani is Shercliffe's top gunner and is a potential WCHA twenty-goal scorer. Bolstering the right wing crew will be freshmen Carmen Haakstad (Lyman's brother) of Grande Prairie, Alb. and Kirk McKivor of Eston, Sask. I.EFT WING: Promises to be one of the strongest positions on the team as five return. Competition should be stiff as top scoring returnee junior Mike Newton (22 goals and 21 assists for 43 points) joins sophomores Ernie Powell, Craig Arvidson (drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers), Doug Christy, and Monty Jones. Jones played center last year and could see action at either center or left wing. Entering the fierce battle for a starting berth is freshman John Verran of Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. -9- . . - ·...... :.~ ,... tic ,.,, ' ...... _~, :- CRAIG ARVIDSON 6-1 195 so. ST. PAUL, MH ...
