Each year the yearbook is dedicated to a person of special merit for their effort in making Linn Tech the unique institution that it is today. This year the book has been dedicated to Mrs. Karen Buckman.

Mrs. Buckman is the director of the new Outreach Program for Women here at Linn Tech. Karen's job is to visit the high schools in an eight county area surrounding Linn Tech to dis­cuss the advantages for women students to attend Linn Tech. She plans to double the popula­tion of women students for next fall's semester through her recruitment program.

Karen came to Linn Tech in November of 1978 and hopes to remain a part of the staff for a long time.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the 1979 Yearbook Staff and our advisor, Mr. Livingston, for helping make this yearbook one of the best ever published for Linn Tech. We hope that you will enjoy looking through this book and keep it as a remembrance of your 1978-1979 school year at Linn Technical College.

Being editor of this yearbook has been an experience that I will never forget. It has been a time of hard work and frustration, but there has also been some good times. I am glad that it is finally finished.

I would also like to thank James Valleroy for again designing the cover for our yearbook. And, last but not least, thanks to all of the students, faculty and administration for making it possible for us to put this yearbook together.
