5 p.m., Oct. 11, 2004--For those who miss seeing the beauty of the UD campus and want to display it on their computer desktops at home and work, now there’s a way to download scenes of the University as wallpaper. For loyal Fightin’ Blue Hens fans, there also are special designs commemorating last season’s national football championship.

There are 33 designs to choose from, including scenes on The Green, spring blossoms, snow scenes, walls with ivy and more. Many are available both with and without the University’s logo.
