Tnside back cover University of Northern Iowa 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.

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. After two years as head assistant under Bill Hammer in 1958 and 1959, Sheriff Sheriff vs •••• took over in 1960 and produced an un­ beaten club in his first try. That club Stevens Point ............ ...... 0-0-0 won the first of three consecutive con­ ference titles. In all, Sheriff has coached Illinois State .................... 0-0-0 four NCC title-winners, six first team Mankato State ................ 4·0-1 Little All-Americans and 35 all-confer­ ence players. His record in the league South Dakota U ............. 9-3-0 is 46-19-1. North Dakota State
