Teacher education remains the chief function of the Univer ity of Northern Iowa, but in recent years academic pro grams have been enlarged to offer degrees in non-teaching fields. In ubsequent years foll owing 1967, when the Iowa General A ssembly ap proved university status for UNT, non teaching degree added have included the Bachelor of Art , Bachelor of Technology and Bachelor of Music.

New construction is evident throughout the campus. A new physical education complex opened last year, as did the first phase of a 278-unit married student housi ng development. The initial stages of a large, modern education center are scheduled to open this fall. UN l's prowess in teacher education has left its mark on the physical education department, which turns out per capita the largest number of coache in the state. Evidence of thi is apparent on page ten of this g uide, which lists gradu ates of the UNI football program who are now in coaching.

Mai ntenance of a well-rounded inter collegiate athletic program is of primary interest to the UNI staff. The succe s of this endeavor is indicated by the fact that Panther teams have won the con ference's all -sports trophy in two of the last three year . The University retains membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion, and is one of eight schools in the North Central Conference. A full round of 11 intercollegiate sport are sponsored by the conference, and have champion ship events. Other schools are Mankato State, Morningside, Augustana, South D akota U., South Dakota State, North Dakota U. and North Dakota State. Your Host at Northern Iowa Rod Williamson succeeded Dave West phal as UNl's Sports Information Director in June, two weeks after he graduated from Iowa State University. Williamson, 22, had been a student assist ant in the Iowa State sports information office for nearly two years. Prior to that he had edited the Iowa State Daily sports page for one year. Williamson was also a summer intern and campus correspondent for the Des Moines Register and the Waterloo Courier before moving to UNI. Williamson won 11 letters in four sports as a prep at Parkersburg, Iowa. His wife, Phyllis, is a special education teacher in a Rod Williamson Waterloo elementary school. They have no children.

3 Sheriff Nears 75th UNI Victory

Heading into his 13th year as head coach of UNI football. Stan Sheriff has found his stay at the Cedar Falls school marked by a steady addition of increas ing responsibilities.

Jn the mid I 960's he helped organize the UNI Athletic Club, which this year is approaching the 400 membership mark. Sheriff has been both the main driving force and chief fund-raiser for the organ ization.

Two years ago he added the duties of athletic director, a position which last year forced him to deal with the in creasing problem of athletic facilities on the UNI campus.

Still, Sheriff has somehow managed to build strong UNI football teams, as evidenced by last year's club that fin ished second in the North Central Con ference. The Panthers' 4-5 overall record in 1971 put Sheriffs career record at 68-45-2. and just seven victories short of the 75 win mark. A good Stan Sheriff year could easily put him at that level.

The Assistants Don Erusha

Sheriffs number one assistant, Erusha is completing a decade of service with the Panthers this fall. In charge of both offensive and defensive lines, Erusha was extremely proud of the way UNI's de fensive line personnel improved through out the year last season. Erusha has consistently developed top-flight linemen (e.g. Mike Allen, who was all -conference last year), but none so accomplished as the two-way guard Ray Pedersen, who was a first team Little All-American in 1967. Erusha graduated from Coe Col lege and coached in the high school ranks at West Union, West Branch, Mt. Clemens, Mich., and Cedar R apids Washington. Prior to his arrival at UNI in 1963 he was on the Coe staff. Don and hi s wife Pat have one daughter, Kay, a junior at UNI this fall.

5 Dennis Remmert The senior member of former UNI players on the Panther coaching staff has his work cut out for him this year. Rem mert will be trying to duplicate last year's superb defensive effort, which was how ever hurt severely by the graduation of six starters. Remmert's chief responsibil ity is the defensive secondary, including both the linebackers and deep backs. He also coordinates the entire defensive team. During his playing days at UNI Remmert was a two-time all-conference selection, and was a second team Little All-American pick in 1959. He gradu ated in that year and after a short pro career, joined the Panthers as a graduate assistant. He coached one year at Fort Dodge Junior College. A native of Mason City, he and his wife Sandy have two young sons, Chad and Brad.

Dan Boals Perhaps the most challenging job this year has been relegated to the newest member of the UNI staff-Dan Boals. It is his responsibility to develop a potent offense that last year could be described at best as inconsistent. And he has little experienced talent with which to work. Like Remmert, Boals was a standout football player at UNI, being named twice as the conference's most valuable back. In his final season (1962) he was named to the first Little All American team as fullback. Boals still holds the single season scoring record and is second in career rushing and average gain. Prior to his arrival at UNI in 1971, Boals had a successful three-year coaching stint at Waterloo West, where he compiled a 21-5-1 record. Boals and his wife Carol have two sons, Shannon and Aaron, and a daughter, Alinda.

6 Elmer Kortemeye·r Working out of a newly remodeled office and training room at Men's Gym, Kortemeyer heads into year No.7 as Northern Iowa's head trainer. A former UNI student, Elmer completed his undergraduate studies at the Uni versity of Wyoming in 1957 and received his M.A. from the sa me school in 1962. Jn the interim he coached high school football and basketball in Wyoming. He and hi s wife Joy have two sons , Karl and Paul, and two daughters, Clare and Katherine.

Jim Rudd Northern Iowa's first full-time athletic business man ager is Jim Rudd, an enthusiastic graduate of UNI and the Stan Sheriff football program. His first major project was the organization of the season football ticket campaign, but he'll also give much-needed aid in such activities as the UNI Athletic Club. An all ·conference defensive lineman in 1969, Rudd replaces J. D. Ander son, who has returned to full-time teaching and coach ing. Jim and hi s wife Connie have no children.

7 1972 Outlook

Stan Sheriff has a tough time answer ing questions about his 1972 University of Northern Iowa football team. He is certain it will be better than last year's North Central Conference runner-ups. The question is, how much better? "We hope to have a much stronger offense this fall," Sheriff says, "and while our defense may be a little weaker, there was a general feeling among our staff last year that inability to move the ball cost us a possible conference champion ship." Sheriff, who enters his 13th year in what has been a highly successful career as UNI's head coach, bases his optimism on two factors-the spring installation of the Houston-veer offense and a flock of promising quarterbacks. "We like the veer attack because it allows us to stay with our basic option offense, keep our receivers wide and take advantage of our fine passing po tential. Jn past years we have run an offense that options the defensive end. The veer is similar except that we option both the tackle and end," Sheriff ex plained. The list of quarterbacks includes junior Al Wichtendahl, last year's regular, who will be seriously challenged by passing The offensive line has been bolstered whiz Ron Schooley, who has been in by the return of letterman John Bless eligible since transferring to UNI from man.

9 Where Are They Now? Graduates of the Stan Sheriff football program have indeed gone on to a variety of careers. However, no profession has received more support from Stan than the coaching profession. In fact, one of Sheriffs proudest accomplishments in his 12 years as head coach has been his continuing contribution to the high school and college coaching ranks.

1972 Captains Roling-Fieseler-White-Rosenkrans-Woodley

28- JERRY ROLING, DE, 5-11, 195, Sr., Eldora, la. A jack of all trades, Roling has moved himself to defense for his senior year. Started spring drills at strong safety, then moved to defen sive end in final three days, and looked especially good at that spot in final scrimmage. Panther defense needs quickness and tenacity at de fensive end, and that fits Roling per fectly. Led team in rushing last year with 388 yards, more than triple that of No. 2 man. Also rank ed third in pass receptions with 10 for 85 yards. A great competitor, who rarely takes a back seat to the action, Roling could give UNI an unexpected boost in '72.

40- WAL T FIESELER, CB, 6-0, 170, Sr., Fort Dodge, la. One of the top pass defenders in the league, Fieseler should challenge for all-league honors at his position this year. Came by way of Fort Dodge Jr. College, where he was accorded All-American recognition. Made honorable mention all-conference last year in first season. His de fense against the running game im proved steadily last year to go with an already strong pass defense. Teamed with Mike Woodley on kickoff and punt returns, ranking second behind Woodley in each category last year. Grabbed two pass interceptions to rank third in that department. His experience will be a much-needed aid for young UNI linebackers and deep second ary. 11 76-NELSON WHITE, OT, 6-4, 240, Sr., Waterloo, la . UNI line coach Don Erusha doesn't hold back the praise when speak ing of this Waterloo Columbus grad uate. White has been a two-year starter at defensive tackle, and coaches are comparing his play to that of former all·confererice tackle Doug Walter, now a graduate assist ant with the Panthers. His forte is hi overpowering size and ability to dominate hi opponent. Teams with Dick Blau to form what could well be the top defensive tackle tan dem in the league.

55- KEN ROSENKRANS, OG, 6-1, 215, Sr., Waterloo, la. Panther coaches are looking for this former Waterloo East player to break loose and achieve the star dom that wa foreca t for him three years ago. Rosenkrans was a first team all-state center at East, but has not played that position in col lege. Rather he has been used at a variety of spots, including of fensive tackle and guard and de fensive end. After getting a slow start last year when he missed part of pre-season drills becau e of mili tary commitment, Rosenkrans came on to anchor the offensive right guard position.

20-MIKE WOODLEY, FS, 5-9, 165, Jr., Waterloo, la. The Panthers' only returning all conference player from last year, Woodley is the field general for UNI's strong defense. Was one of only two players in the league last year to make all-conference as sophomores. Led the team in punt returns, kickoff returns, and tied for interceptions at four. Has been a starter at free safety since the fourth game of his freshman year. P robably the fiercest competitor on the team, Woodley is pound-for-pound one of the toughest football players any where. Like Rosenkrans, has a great football tradition, having played for East Waterloo.

Top Newcomers

It is always difficult, if not impossible, for coaches to evaluate freshmen. However, the following appear to be headed toward top collegiate careers: BILL SALMON, an all-state quarterback at Cedar Falls who teamed with PAUL JAMES, also UNI bound and an all-stater, during an outstanding prep career. JOHN ALDRICH of N.U. High in Cedar Falls completes this talented local trio. Aldrich was a prep quarterback.

Others are DOUG CONKLIN, top rusher in the Quad Cities Metro Conference, RON DODD, former Ackley star, FRANK COPPOLA, a Californian recruited by former Panther George Asleson, DAVE SCHOOLEY, brother of Ron and WACO .of Olds all-stater, and MARC HUMPHREY, Pella quarterback.

Top junior college tran fers are SCOTT SICKLES from Janesville and Ellsworth J.C., DAYE LIETTE, Waldorf J.C. all-league pick and GR EG MORRIS, Norman dale J.C., who is small and quick.
