    A 1979 issue of Delegate magazine published by MelPat Associates. The cover of the magazine features a blue ribbon that reads [1979 / DELEGATE] on a collage of cropped black and white photographic portraits with a yellow tint.

    The magazine’s content opens on the first page with an untitled editorial note recounting events of the past year, focusing on the effects of the Bakke decision and reinterpretations of the Equal Employment Opportunity law. There is also a masthead, set in white text against a dark blue background reading [DELEGATE, 1979], followed by a table of contents.
    The content then continues with a feature on Charles B.
