The working press will be seated in the area closest to the 50-yardline. The press box is located on the east side of the UNI-Dome above the east stands. Entrances are located on the north and south ends of the box. Parking for the working press will be in the west lot of the PEC Building which is located directly north of the Dome and can be reached from Hudson Road (HWY 57) which runs north and south on the east side of the UNI-Dome. Your press box pass will be sufficient to enter the lot to park. ENTRANCE TO THE UNI-DOME: The easiest access to the press box from the west lot is to enter the PEC Building through the west entrance and proceed directly across to the east entrance where a long tunnel, which will be on your right-hand side, will lead you to the playing surface. After passing through the revolving doors, there will be stairs on your immediate left that will get you up to the seating area. Continue up the concrete stairs and you will enter the north door of the box. We believe in keeping our working press physically fit. RADIO STATIONS: Radio Stations will be assigned broadcast space upon request for permission to broadcast. Stations should make their own arrangements for telephone hookup and private telephone(s). PHOTOGRAPHERS: Photographers will be issued press passes allowing them on the sidelines or in the press box in a designated photo area. NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS FILMING IN THE UNI-DOME: For black and white prints we suggest the use of Kodak Tri-X film with the ASA pushed to 1600. The exposure should be 250th of a second at f-stop 4. For color slides or prints, Ektachrome or Kodacolor of ASA 400 shot at 125th of a second at f­ stop 2.5 usually produces the best picture.

3 Athletic Director and Head Coach Stan Sheriff Becoming the winningest coach in history at the University of Northern Iowa was just a matter of time for Head Coach Stan Sheriff. It had been that way since he took over in 1960. Sheriff took over with a bang producing an undefeated team in his maiden year to put the Panthers into a bowl game for the first time ever. Sheriff came to UNI in 1958 as first assistant to Bill Hammer and succeeded him two seasons later. Since then he has piled up an impressive 107-80-3 overall record for a .563 winning edge and his teams have won or shared four North Central Conference titles. The 1960 team was a gem. UNI went ~ in regular season before losing to Hillsdale College in the Mineral Bowl and Ex­ selsior Springs, Mo., 17-6. Sheriff won the North Central Conference title again in 1961 with a 7-2 record and repeated in 1962 with a 7-1-1 mark, sharing the crown with South Dakota St. both years. He took a sophomore dominated team to a 5-3-1 mark in 1963 and a second place finish in the NCC. Then came 1964 and the most heralded year of all. His Panthers posted an 8-2-0 season, got the bid to the first Pecan Bowl game and beat LarmarTech 1~17 in the heat at Abilene, Tex. The heart of that championship team left in 1965 and UNI lost five straight before rallying to pos a 4-5 mark, a figure they repeated in 1966. In 1967, Sheriff parlayed a small but cohesive defensive unit into a 7-3-Q mark, losing by one point 10-9 to champion North Dakota St., the number two ranked division team in the nation. The heart­ breaking losses of four, one, and three points came during a tough schedule. His subsequent teams went 5-5-Q in both 1968 and 1969, 2-8 in 1970, 4-5 in 1971, 4-6 in 1972, 5-5 in 1973, and 5-4-1 in 1974. Those were the lean years. In 1975, his Panther team, behind All-American quarterback Bill Salmon, rolled to a 8-3 regular season and got the bid to the NCAA first-round playoffs. The Panthers met Western Kentucky in what now has been labeled the 'Mud Bowl', and dropped a 14-12 squeaker. The nucleus of that team left, but Sheriff put together a sophomore-dominated team in 1976 that posted a fine 8-3 record in the Panthers' new home-the UNI-Dome. In 1977, with the No. 1 quarterback knocked out for four games with a shoulder separation, coupled with an entirely new defensive front line, the Panthers bounced back from a slow 2-4 start to win its last four games and placed second in the NCC. Just as Sheriff's teams have played a dominant role in the NCC, so have individual players. He's pro­ duced 60 All-COnference players, with eight winning most valuable back or linesman awards. Seven times in 18 years he's had the league's leading ground gainer. In 18 seasons he has produced eight first-team Little All-America players with the most recent being offensive tackle Mike Timmermans in 1975. In 1960 both guard George Asleson and quarterback Jerry Morgan were honored. In 1961 guard Wendell Williams made the top team, followed in 1962 by fullback Dan Boals. Then came Randy Schultz to win first team honors in both 1964 and 1965, the first Iowa college player ever to repeat as a first team selection. In 1968, defensive tackle Ray Pedersen joined the elite list. Since he assumed the additional role of Athletic Director in 1970, Sheriff has directed a very potent 11-sport intercollegiate program, copping six North Central Conference all-sports trophies. Sheriff's knowledge of football and athletics does not stop at the university level. He served a nine­ year term on the NCAA Football Rules Committee. He has also served terms on the American Football Association Committees involving conventions and public relations and the prestigious NCAA Television Committee, which just recently negotiated a multi-million dollar contract with ABC Television. Stan Sheriff, a native of San Francisco, was a collegiate star at California State Polytechnic College at San Luis Obispo. An all-conference center for three seasons, he was the league's most valuable player as a senior and was named to the first team Little All-America. Following his senior year in 1953 he played in the East-West Shrine game and the Hula Bowl, one of the first small college players to earn both honors. Sheriff graduated from Cal Poly in the spring of 1954 and went on to play professional football for three seasons in the NFL as a linebacker. His first coaching experience came during a tour of duty in the U.S. Army (two yrs.) when he guided the 4th Infantry Division team to the European service title with a 10-1-1 record. During the off-season as a professional, Sheriff continued his education and received his Master's degree from Cal Poly in 1958, just prior to his arrival at UNI. Stan and his wife Jane have three sons, Paul, Michael and Richard.

5 The Panther Assistants

Dennis Remmert -Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach -Recruiting Coordinator The veteran of the UNI staff, Remmert is beginning his 16th season for the Panthers. His responsibilities will be coordinating the Defense and coaching the Defensive line. In addition, he is in charge of coordinating the football recruiting efforts. An All-American defensive tackle at UNI in 1959, he also earned All-North Central Conference honors in 1958 and 1959. After graduation in 1960, he played pro­ fessional ball briefly for Buffalo. He joined Sheriff's staff as a graduate assistant in 1961 and served for two seasons before coaching at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge in 1963. Remmert rejoined UNl 's program fulltime in 1964, when the Panthers visited the Pecan Bowl. He also re­ ceived his MA Degree in Physical Education in 1964. A native of Traer, IA, Remmert spent most of his younger life in Mason City. Dennis and his wife, Sandy, are the parents of two young sons, Chad and Brad.

Roger French-Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach A new addition to the UNI staff, French brings a wealth of football knowledge to UNl's football fortunes. He has spent the past 24 years as an assistant coach in various capacities. Prior to coming to UNI, he spent nine years on the University of Minnesota staff coaching the offensive line, tight ends and receivers. He started his career at Memphis State where he worked for 10 seasons and spent five years at the University of Wisconsin before going to Minnesota. French will serve as the Offensive Coordinator and Offensive line coach. A Minneapolis native, he played for the Gophers as a linebacker, fullback and interior lineman, going both ways. After graduating in 1954, he spent a year with the Philadelphia Eagles before going to Memphis State. Roger and his wife Dorothy have two daughters, Kathy and Gail.

6 Larry Norman -Defensive Backfield Coach In his third year at Northern Iowa, Norman heads up the defensive backfield, an area he knows well. He was a de­ fensive back for three years at UNI and in 1974 was chosen as a defensive co-captain. A native of Winthrop, IA, Norman was an all-state selection in high school. After graduating from UNI in 1975, Norman served as a graduate assistant on the 1976 Panther squad before being named as the full-time defensive backfield coach in 1977. Larry and his wife, Jo Anne, reside in Cedar Falls.

Mike Kolling -Linebacker Coach Kolling begins his third season on the staff in charge of UNl's outstanding linebacking corps. A native of Graceville, MN, Kolling graduated from South Dakota State in 1972 and played briefly with the Denver Broncos of the NFL and Birm­ ingham Americans of the WFL. After receiving his M.S. degree from North Dakota State in 1974, Kolling coached for one year at Roswell, NM, and one year at Hopkins Lindberg High School in Hopkins, MN. He was an assistant at South Dakota State one year and an assistant at North Dakota State two years before being named to the Panther staff in 1977. Mike and his wife, Cindy, have one son, Michael.

Lou Pirrotta -Offensive Backfield and Receivers Coach The newest addition to the Panther staff having arrived in the early part of July. Comes to UNI from Park Falls, WI where he has directed the football fortunes of Lincoln High since 1973. A native of Camden, NJ, Pirrotta was recruited by Coach Bob Otto to play for Mankato State where he lettered three years as the starting offensive center. After graduating in 1970 with a B.S. in physical education, he spent three seasons as a graduate assistant before moving to Park Falls. He will be in charge of coaching the Panther receivers and backfield. He will be joined in Cedar Falls by his wife, Alyse and two children, Christopher (9) and Raea (6).

7 Outlook For 1979

The fountain of youth has been discovered. It is in the form of the 1979 University of Northern Iowa football team. Of the 103 players listed on this year's roster, only 15 of them will be seniors. Of the remaining 88, 51 are either sophomores or freshmen. Obviously, the Panthers are going to be playing a lot of people with little or no experience. "We were a young team last season," says Head Coach Stan Sheriff. "I know people get • tired of hearing how young you are, but the fact remains we had a lot of young players who were freshmen being asked to go out and do the type of job that is expected from upper­ classmen. The same situation exists this season. Most of our starters will be sophomores and juniors." Sheriff looks to the upcoming year with guarded optimism. The schedule once again is brutal with games against conference foes Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Northern Michigan, Youngstown and Akron. North Dakota State, South Dakota State, South Dakota and Nebraska-Omaha of the North Central Cpnference will face the Panthers. Two new teams appear on the schedule. Minnesota-Morris, which went through the 1979 season un­ defeated in regular season play at 1(}0, will open the schedule Sept. 1. The Cougars lost in the semi-finals of the Division Ill playoffs and ended up with an 11-1 record. Division 1-AA power Western Kentucky will close the season Nov. 10 in the Dome. The Hilltoppers had an 8-2 record, winning the Ohio Valley Conference championship. Teamwise, one area Sheriff won't be worrying about will be his offensive backfield. Kelly Ellis, the diminutive tailback from Waterloo, IA, returns for his third season. After a brilliant freshman season in which he led the entire nation in all-purpose running, Ellis tailed off slightly in 1978, but is the type of player who generates excitement every tim,e he touches the ball. "Kelly is the type of player that you want to have the football as much as possible, " said Sheriff, "because you never know when he will go all the way." That was evident last season when he had two runs of over 45 yards called back against UNO and he broke loose for a 97-yard scoring jaunt against Akron, which was one yard short of a school record. To compliment Ellis, Sheriff has brought in Nelson Berry (5-8, 175) from Coffeyville Junior College to help take some of the burden off of Kelly. Berry is built along the same lines as Ellis and during spring practice impressed the staff as a legitimate threat to score at any time. Last year's fullback, Norm Montgomery, is gone, leaving a vacancy in the backfield. A trio of talented backs are vying for the starting role. Mark Fullbright (6-0, 205) from Cedar Falls, IA, saw some action last season as did sophomore-to-be Greg Trosky (5-10, 185). The other candidate is Rick Nepote (6-3, 210) who played with Berry at Cof­ feyville. Trosky and Fullbright are small, quick backs, while Nepote is the power-type of back. The number one concern, offensively, during spring ball, was to find out which of the six quarterbacks in camp could do the job. The job has apparently fallen to Steve Sandon (6-3, 185), a sophomore out of Des Moines, IA. Another sophomore, Dave Plantan (6-0, 180), emerged as Sandon's backup with senior Dana Deines (5-11 , 175) holding down the third spot. The receiving corps will be young. Maurice Washington, who was a defensive back last season, has moved to split end, had a good spring practice and seemed to pick up the posi­ tion naturally. The flanker spot will be strong with senior Mark Hendrickson and junior college transfer, Kenny McNeail battling it out. Doran Geise (6-5, 220) and Tom Matheson (6-3, 205) are the top candidates for the tight end position. The offensive line should be a little more experienced than last season. Steve Wright (6-5, 240) will move from tight end to left tackle and junior Skip Eckhardt (6-2, 225) will be at the left guard position. There is a battle for the starting right guard slot with veteran Steve Gudgell (6-1, 235) being challenged by sophomore Scott Hamilton (6-2, 225) for the number one position. The same situation exists at right tackle with senior Paul Christenson (6-4, 240) and sophomore Dave Ehrig (6-2, 242) each looking for the starting berth. The center position is really wide open with four players battling neck and neck for the starting nod. Last year's starter, Richard Elliott (6-2, 235), missed spring practice due to a shoulder injury. With transfers Jim Passage (6-0, 225) and Dan Morris (6-2, 225) being new to the program, a frantic search for a spring practice center produced Rick Clarahan (5-10, 230)who had been a guard for the past couple of seasons. 8 Probably.the strongest area of this year's team will be the defensive front line and the linebacking corps. Rod Tegeler (6-3, 215) and Ed Stratton (6-0, 205) will anchor the end positions. The Panthers should have two of the best tackles around with Owen Dockter (6-4, 250) and Dave Ramthun (6-3, 245) both having two years of experience under their belts. Jake Schoenenberger (6-7, 235) will back up those two in case of injury. Rick Squire (5-11, 240) and Mike Willett (6-3, 235) are the top two nose guard candidates in the Panthers "52" defensive alignment. The linebacking troops are solid with seniors Matt Spanjers (5-11, 220) and co-captain Ed Arnold (6-2, 220) returning. Dan Gerber (6-0, 217), a JC transfer, Paul Johanns (6-0, 210) and Larry Formanek (6-0, 222) will make up the reserve section. The defensive secondary, a question mark during the 1978 season, seems to have im­ proved itself substantially. One improvement will be the return of Dave Erstad at the free safety spot. Erstad (6-0, 190) injured his shoulder in pre-season practice last August and was forced to sit out the entire season. Rick Ellingson (5-10, 170) and Dave Gentzler (5-8, 155) are both seniors with experience at the cornerback positions, but Mike Smiley (6-0, 165), a transfer student from Scottsdale, AZ., Community College, was pushing hard in spring practice for a starting role. Danny Todd (6-0, 200), a transfer from Waldorf JC should see plenty of action at strong safety. Terry Lang (6-2, 210) will once again handle the place kicking chores. He hit four of six field goal attempts and 15 of 20 extra points last season. With the graduation of Mark Whitver, Coach Sheriff has dipped into the junior college ranks for a punter and came up with a dandy in Todd Speer (6-0, 185) from Ellsworth JC. Speer was third in the nation in the junior college ranks last year averaging over 41 yards per kick.

When Kortemeyer took a special two-year leave of absence, Burton was promoted to the head position. Burton is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, the State Licensing Committee on Athletic Training and the National Athletic Trainers Association. In the spring of 1978, Burton accompanied the NCAA Division II All-Star wrestling team to Mexico City as the team's head trainer.

Athletlc Secretarial Staff L-R: Nancy Castor, Athletic Department, Raelene Bruns, Sports Information-Women's Athletics, Loretta Brinkman, Athletic Club. 55 The UNI-Dome -A UNl-que Coliseum UNI supporters and the entire state of Iowa realized a dream come true with the completion of the UNI-Dome - a completely covered, multi-purpose.facility with an air-supported roof - in February of 1975. UNI-Dome, the prefix stands for University of Northern Iowa, as well as meaning one and unique, combines the features of three buildings - a football stadium, field house and large auditorium. It will host such events as concerts, exhibitions, trade shows, pageants, rallies and convocations, as well as football, basketball, softball and field hockey games and wrestling and track meets. The UNI-Dome's air-supported, Fiberglass fabric roof constructed by Owens­ Corning Fiberglass Corporation, was erected at a cost equal to half that of conven­ tional roof construction. And because of the dome's translucence, ample natural light is available during daylight hours-a sizable savings on utility costs. Multi-Purpose Use UNI-DOME was designed with "something for everyone. " Its artificial turf for football games and practices can be rolled up in 45 minutes. Underneath, on a synthetic floor area, are basketball and tennis courts and an eight-lane, 220-yard oval running track. As many as 12 tennis matches and two basketball games can take place simultaneously at the field level. Approximately 16,400 spectators can be seated for football and 7,254 for court­ sized activities. For stage activities, such as commencement, concerts and artist or speaker series, total capacity-using movable pleachers and folding chairs -can reach 25,000. Air-Supported Dome The 168,000-sq. ft. dome, which rises 124 feet above the arena floor, is supported entirely by a network of 12 stranded steel cables and four air blowers. A concrete and steel ring around the top of the 70-foot high stadium wall holds the cables. The cables, which shape, as well as support the dome, are 2'l'e inches in diameter. They vary in length from 395 to 484 feet, and together weigh 47 tons, or 94,000 pounds. 56 Two 40,000 cfm (15hp) fans circulate air and maintain enough air pressure in the building to keep the roof inflated during normal use. Two additional 135,000 cfm (125 hp) fans, are used during inflation of the roof, during mass exiting from the building (which causes great loss of air pressure), during heavy snow fall for aid in melting snow on the roof, and during spectator events for heating and cooling the building. Rberglas Fabric Roof The roof of UNI-DOME is made of 49 tons of woven Fiberglass fabric coated with Teflon. The fabric is self-cleaning and requires virtually no maintenance. It will not burn or support combustion, nor is it affected by ultraviolet radiation. Approximately 60 percent of the dome has an inner liner of fabric that provides acoustical as well as thermal benefits. The liner tends to baffle the sound waves, and air from perimeter, where the pressure is greater than outside the building, can be diverted and blown between the two layers to facilitate snow melting. Other Features UNI-DOME has four main entrances, leading to a 32-foot wide concourse. Seats, color-matched to tickets, are easily reached through seven access gates on the east and west sides. A total absence of columns and posts gives every seat in the stadium an unobstructed view. A service entrance, large enough for a tractor-trailer, is located on one end of the stadium. Concessions, displays, first aid stations and rest rooms are conveniently located on either side of the building. A spacious press box atop the east stands has facilities for 10 radio stations, television capabilities and seating for up to 125 people. A photography darkroom, photo bay, concession area and scouting booths are a few other features. Two huge scoreboards can flash messages and information to spectators throughout the events. Plans call for the addition of administrative offices, locker and training rooms and VIP boxes. Currently a tunnel connects UNI-DOME with the Physical Educa­ tion Center for locker faci I ities.

57 The Mid-Continent Conference

Entering into its second year of exist­ ence, the Mid-Continent Conference has already produced in its first year a na­ tional champion in Division II football. Eastern Illinois, finishing third in the con­ ference race, chalked up victories over Cal-Davis, Youngstown State, the Mid­ Continent champion, and defeated Dela­ ware, a perennial power in Division II , 10-9 to claim the national championship. In basketball, regular season champion Eastern Illinois, along with Northern Iowa and Northern Michigan, both of which tied for second, each made an appearance in t'Jorther'n Iowa captured the 1975 and the Division II playoffs. EIU and NMU lost .1978 Division II wrestling titles and their first round games, but UNI defeated reached the Division II football playoffs in Nebraska-Omaha on its home court 84-72 1975.

Northern Michigan was an NCAA Division II semi-finalist in 1977 in football and won the championship out­ right in 1975. Youngstown State made it to the semi-finals in last year's football playoffs and in 1977 reached the quarterfinals of the basketball playoffs. In 1977, Eastern Illinois placed third in the basketball tournament and Western Il­ linois finished third in the 1978 Division II Track and Field championships.

The stats crew consists of four gentlemen who donate their time in helping make our facts and figures mean something. Chuck Chamness is in charge of keeping the passing and receiving stats; Randy McMahon tallies up first downs, fumbles, return yardage, penalties and punting; Paul Dunbar is the resident defensive stats specialist and Gaylon Halverson is the play-by-play whiz on the typewriter. Assistant SID NanGy Justis keeps the running stats while Sports Information Director Brad Larsen keeps things running. The voice of the UNI-Dome for both football and basketball is Bob Justis, who happens to be Nancy's husband. Bob's face is seldom seen, but his voice is a familiar one to Panther fans, as he keeps them informed of happenings on and occasionally when emergencies arise, off the field as wel I. The Sports Information Department of UNI salutes these persons for the time and effort they put in to help us do our job more efficiently. \ 70 The UNI Athletic Club-Boosting the Panthers

The UNI Athletic Club, now in its 15th year of existance, is a non-profit organization with the sole purpose of encouraging and supporting the athletic programs at UNI. All money raised by the Club goes directly for men's athletic scholarships to help student-athletes obtain an educa­ tion. In its first year of existence, the Club raised just over $6,500. In 1978-79, a record $162,000 was raised and the goal for this year has been set at $200,000. Heading the Club this year is Waterloo attorney Chuck Swisher with Tom Barbatti serving as Vice-President. Robert MacKenzie serves as the Club's Executive Secretary. The Club is divided into four different levels of contributions. For a contribution of $1,000 or more, persons·may join the V.l.P. Club. The Gold Club is for donations of $500, the Purple Club $250 and the Century Club $100. Special pre-game and post-game parties are held for the entire membership as well as golfing outings, picnics and other special events.

Follow the Panthers on KCFI -1250 The Panthers have found a new home on the airwaves this fall and it will be at 1250 on the AM dial with KCFI carrying all Panther football and basketball games at home and away. Starting Sept. 1, KCFI will go on the air around the clock bringing sports fans in this area a wide variety of high school, collegiate and professional sports. The voices of the Panthers will not change as veterans Clare Rampton, the play-by-play announcer, and Loren Buser, providing color, will bring all the exciting action of Panther athletics to the ears of the listeners. Rampton is in his 12th season as the Panthers' main voice and has been assisted by Buser the past six years. The main cog behind the change has been station owner Jim Mudd who has made the commitment to become the number one sports station in the metro W~terloo-Cedar Falls area.
