JUNE 14, 1993 PETERSON TO RETIRE AS U OF M SID JANUARY 1ST

Bob Peterson, sports information director for men's athletics at the University of Minnesota for the past 18 years, will retire January 1, 1994. He will continue to oversee football operations for the sports information office until his retirement.

Marc Ryan, the number one assistant under Peterson since 1989, will serve as interim director while a search is conducted by the men's department and an appointment made January 1, 1994.

"Bob has been an integral part of this department for nearly two decades," said Men's Director of Athletics Dr. McKinley Boston. "His many contributions during challenging times for this department have been significant and much appreciated. Bob is a real professional and will be missed."

Peterson, 62, came to the University of Minnesota in 1975 after 10 years as the sports information director at St. Cloud State University. Prior to that, he taught English and Journalism for nine years at the high school level and also was a sports writer and sports editor.

During his 28 years in the sports information profession, Peterson has received more than 20 citations for excellence in the field of publications from the College Sports Information Directors of America. A past president of CoS IDA, he was elected to that organization's Hall of Fame in 1983.

While a high school teacher, Peterson received two Newspaper Fund Fellowships from the Wall Street Journal for excellence in teaching. He also won three Minnesota Newspaper Association awards when in that field in Greater Minnesota.

Peterson attended Hamline University, received his B.S. degree from St. Cloud State University and his M.S. degree from the University of North Dakota. He also did post graduate work at Syracuse University under his Newspaper Fund Fellowship.

He has been an active member of CoSIDA, the Football Writers of America and the Basketball Writers of America. Peterson also has been involved with the U.S. Olympic Committee as a press liaison officer during several Summer Olympic Festivals and the Pan American Games.

Peterson is only the third full-time men's sports information director in University of Minnesota history. Les Etter became the first in 1930. Otis Dypwick assumed those duties in 1944 and held that position until Peterson joined the staff in 1975.

Ryan came to Minnesota in '89 after two years on the staff at Villanova. Prior to that, he served as sports information director at Macalester College for two years. In addition, he worked as a press liaison at the 1987, 1990 and 1991 U.S. Olympic Festivals, the 1990 Goodwill Games, and the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. He is a 1984 graduate of Moorhead State University where he was a two-time All-American in track. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA lEW§

HOCKEY "BORDER BATTLE" SERIES TO CONTINUE AT TARGET CENTER

The University of Minnesota in conjunction with the Target Center announced today an agreement to continue the "Border Battle" Minnesota-Wisconsin hockey series at the Target Center. The agreement fulfills a five-year agreement that was originally struck with North Stars owner Norm Green.

The "Border Battle" game was created to help generate revenue for the On-Campus Sports Facilities Campaign. The capital campaign is the private donation portion of the $41 million on campus sports facilities improvement project that involves the remodeling of Williams Arena, the conversion of the old Mariucci Arena into the Sports Pavilion, designed primarily for women's sports, and the construction of the new Mariucci Arena facility. The agreement with the Target Center will generate a minimum of $1 million in revenue towards the fundraising campaign and will put it at just over $5 million towards its $5.5 million goal.

"We are extremely grateful to Marv Wolfenson and Harvey Ratner for their commitment to this agreement," said Director of Men's Athletics McKinley Boston. "We also want to thank Dana Warg and the entire Target Center staff for their part in bringing this agreement together. The five year deal with the Target Center and the revenue it will generate will put us very close to our fundraising goal of $5.5 million."

Head Coach Doug Woog's Golden Gophers will meet the Badgers in this season's "Border Battle" at the Target Center on Sunday, Jan. 9. Tickets for the contest will be available as a part of the Golden Gophers' regular season ticket package and as part of the Target Center's 12-game hockey series package that also includes NHL and USA Olympic Team games. The Olympic Team will play host to the Golden Gophers on Tuesday, Nov. 23 at the Target Center. For more information, contact the Target Center at (612) 673-0900. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA lEW§

NEW MARIUCCI ARENA LOBBY TO BE NAMED FOR GEORGE LYON

The University of Minnesota announced today a significant gift to the new Mariucci Arena. The gift, the second largest received by the $5.5 million on-campus sports facilities campaign since it began in 1991, will help fund the overall $41 million sports facilities project. Receipt of the gift puts the campaign at more than $5.3 million toward its goal.

The gift was received from the estate of George Lyon and will result in the naming of the main two-story east entrance lobby in honor of George Lyon. The lobby will be known as "Lyon Lobby."

Lyon, a 1953 graduate of the University of Minnesota, had been L involved with Golden Gopher hockey since the late 1950's. He was an integral part of the Balcony Club, a hockey booster club established to support the hockey program.

Soon after Lyon's untimely death in the fall of 1992, it was learned that he had made arrangements for the new Mariucci Arena in his will. His son, Steve Lyon said, "Dad would have loved this building. He could get a hot dog and never miss a thing. Dad lived and died for the Gopher hockey program."

Head coach Doug Woog commented, "I don't remember ever knowing Gopher hockey without George. He was a caretaker of the program."

The Lyon family, through George Lyon's estate, chose to acknowledge the lifelong importance of the school and the game of hockey in George's life by accepting the university's offer to name the Mariucci Arena lobby in his honor.

For more information, contact Jan Unstad, director of development, On-Campus Sports Facilities Campaign (612) 625-4569. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

GOPHER HOCKEY NEARLY SOLD OUT FOR 1993-94

"We are nearly sold out of all tickets for the 1993-94 hockey season," University of Minnesota Assistant Athletic Director Ken Buell announced today. "There is approximately 200 reserved standing room tickets that are being sold on an individual game basis. The North Dakota game on December 11, the Wisconsin game on January 8, and the Minnesota-Duluth game on February 6 are sold out," said Buell.

"The public reorder sale for season tickets was very successful with nearly a 100 percent renewal rate from previous ticket holders," Buell said. For fans applying for new public season tickets, a lottery sale will be conducted to distribute the approximately 250 remaining season tickets, 200 of which are reserved standing room locations. The deadline to enter the lottery was September 17, and over 1,100 ticket requests were received for that lottery.

The lottery to establish who will receive new season tickets will be held on October 13. Those who do not receive tickets will be placed on a waiting list for future seasons. That waiting list will only include those who did not receive season tickets, according to Buell.

The deadline for purchasing student season tickets is October 15. Approximately 1,700 tickets have been set aside for University student sales. If all of the student tickets are not sold, the remainder will be made available to those on the public waiting list through a second lottery on a non-renewable basis.

Buell also announced that the assured seating locations in the arena are virtually sold out. "There are a few seats left at the Mariucci Club level, but over 90 percent of those are sold," he said. Club seats require the donation of $1,000 per seat plus the cost of the ticket. Proceeds from assured seating and club seating go towards helping pay the debt on the new facility. For more information on club seating, call Jan Unstad at 625-4569.

The capacity of the new Mariucci Arena is 9, 130. That is an increase in capacity of 1,558 (the 9,130 capacity figure for the new Mariucci Arena includes approximately 600 reserved standing room spaces) over the old Mariucci Arena. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 29, 1993 GOLDEN GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM ANNOUNCES 1994 CAPTAINS

Head Coach John Anderson and the University of Minnesota baseball team announced today that seniors Mark Merila of Plymouth, Minn., Charlie Nelson of Perham, Minn., and Mike Oster of Richfield, Minn., will be the team captains for the 1994 season.

Merila was a second team All-America last year after batting .408 and leading the Golden Gophers in nearly every offensive category. He just returned from a summer tour with Team USA where he batted .280 with 40 hits Nelson is a four-year starter in left field and he just returned from a summer tour with Team USA where he batted .285 overall and was third on the team in hits with 43. Last year, he batted .332 for the Maroon and Gold with 76 hits and 19 stolen bases. The final member of the trifecta is the popular Mike Oster, a four-year utility player who can play any of the infield positions as well as catcher. He boasts a career batting average of .327.

"These three players have all made great contributions to our program," said Head Coach John Anderson. "They are talented baseball players and class individuals and will represent the University of Minnesota with distinction."

This Saturday the Golden Gophers will have their annual Parents Day. An intrasquad game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at Siebert Field with a reception for the parents following the scrimmage.
