50 YEARS OF FLYER NEWS - It’s our 50th anniversary, and we’re proud to share it with you in this special issue of Flyer News. We’ve chosen stories from the past five decades that we’ve only heard about through gen erations and put them together to give you a closer look at UD’s history. The first issue of Flyer News was published in 1959; however, that was the fifth volume. The UD student-run newspaper was originally named the Dayton Flyer and published its first volume in 1955. For an unknown reason, Flyer News printed two volumes in the 1984-85 school year, which makes the current volume 57. So, although we’re in our 57th volume, we’re celebrating 50 years as Flyer News. - Dr. Larry Lain, Flyer News advisor since 1987, has seen how much UD has changed over the years, but also how it has stayed the same. Different events and moments in history have hap pened, but UD has kept the same values and unique traditions since 1955. More than any other organization on campus, Lain has seen the changes directly within Flyer News and how it has improved over the past few decades. “There’s been a growing sense of professionalism,” Lain said. “That feeling has always been there for the top two or three people on the staff, but as time goes on, it’s a feeling that goes much- deeper down into the staff.” Please enjoy taking a look into the past 50 years of UD in print and on our Web site, www.fly ernews.com. We’ll be back next week with a new issue of Flyer News. 2 NEWS Flyer News •Tuesday, October 20, 2009 FIRE GUTS ST.

LAUREN BECK Asst. A&E Editor Vol. 52, No. 26, 2005

If my future goes at all how I’ve planned, 10 years from now I’ll have secured some variation of a respectable job, preferably one that requires the proper use of commas, seeing as my journalism degree has cost thousands of dol- lars. One can assume that I’ll have a boss, and he will likely ask me to remove my nose piercing. Ten years from now it will no longer be acceptable to solely sur- vive on grilled cheese and assort- ed shapes of pasta, nor will it be appropriate to “rock it up” when being introduced to someone. Sooner or later I’m going to have to start shaking hands. Ten years from now, possibly having a husband/wife and two kids to care for, it will not be ac- ceptable to forgo sleep, risk your health, and jeopardize your san- ity in order to secure a hotel room closest to the parties at Daytona Beach. Luckily, it’s not 10 years from now, and I’m a senior in college. And acting as any rational se- nior should, I joined in on the 17- hour Dayton to Daytona campout this weekend.

FLYERS MUTILATE ITHACA 63-0 TO BRING HOME NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

JOHN PODCZERWINSKI Sports Editor Vol. 27, No. 26, 1979

PHENIX CITY, Ala. – Sometimes, words are just plain inadequate in describing a feeling. In those cases, no matter how hard you try to explain, the last words out of your mouth are always “you had to be there.” Saturday afternoon’s Division III National Championship game was one of those situations. Words cannot even begin to describe the feeling that Dayton’s 63-0 win over Ithaca brought to the hundreds of UD fans who traveled to Alabama, or the thousands who were part of the amazing win through television. You just had to be there to believe it. Coming into the game, Ithaca was the favorite in the minds of many people. After all, the Bombers were the defending national champs, were ranked number one in the nation, and had an unblemished 12-0 record. Dayton, on the other hand, was a new face at the Stagg Bowl.
