PRESIDENTIAL REVIEW OF 1977-78 The 1977-78 academic year was highlighted by phase one of a campus beautification program. Two women's dormitories. Chandler and Kentucky Hall, were closed for extensive renovations and are scheduled to be ready for occupancy during the 1978 academic year. The new entrance was com- pleted along with a adjacent parking lot. Landscaping of the area under Hathaway Hall (classroom building) was started and the new 6,200 capacity Alumni Stadium with a field house was completed. The President's home was renovated and enlarged. Plans for other construction projects to be completed or initiated during the school year 1978-79 were also completed. These include a new adminis- trative services building, classroom building, pedestrian mall, a chilled water plant and a maintenance warehouse building. We feel with the improve- ments already completed or initiated, coupled with the proposed projects, in about 10 years, Kentucky State University will have one of the most beautiful campuses in the Commonwealth and within the region. The academic program is the heart of the University. Review and reorga- nization of the academic programs and departments were the most signifi- cant changes to occur in this area. These changes should result in overall improvements in the instructional program. The University also experienced some success in the area of fund-raising during the year. The most significant accomplishment was the receipt of $406,000 grant from the W.K. Kellog Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan to enhance the business and economics program. Overall, 1977-78 represented the beginning of a new era for Kentucky State University. The University received a new mission statement which will require a thorough review of an, in some cases, revisions in all areas. We certainly look forward to 1978-79 and to the many challenges and further developments which it holds. VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS The academic program at Kentucky State University is committed to providing a qual- ity education for the students which we serve. For almost 90 years the University has en- deavored to meet its students at the level at which they enter the institution and move them to the place where they will be viable and competitive in the work world. Our success can be measured by the alumni who are scattered all over North Amer- ica in all levels of responsibility in education, business, industry, and government Presently we are striving to expand the number of opportu- nities for educational advance- ment offered here on campus. The University has always had a basic set of academic exper- iences, mainly in the liberal arts mode, but we see the urgent ne- cessity to expand these offer- ings to meet the challenges of a modern technological society. The task facing Kentucky State University and sister institu- tions is mirrored in the fact that 85% of all of the scientists that have ever lived on the face of the earth are alive today. What is true of science can possibly be said for other disciplines. Within the life time of nearly every person on campus we have gone from a society that was controlled by a six day work week, to one that provides more time for recreation than any other major facet of our life style. Yet, we must educate for the changes of today and those that are in the future. I have no doubt that Kentucky State University will meet the challenges successfully. We have academic programs that are designed to fully prepare students to master the tasks one will face in the work world of today. These skills can also be the foundation for any career changes that might come to pass in the future. We fully expect the course of- ferings to expand and grow with time. We want to train persons to meet some of the shortages in medicine, dentistry, nursing and other health-related profes- sions. There are needs in busi- ness, technology, and the basic sciences that we can fulfil. This will be done through new under- graduate and graduate pro- grams. But above all we want to continue to supply the Common- wealth and the nation with the f ine graduates that are exempli- fied in our present alumni. VICE PRESIDENT FOR BUSINESS AFFAIRS HERMAN ROBINSON The Kentucky State Universi- ty Office for Business Affairs, has the responsibility of main- taining a program of sound fis- cal management in order to pro- vide the University with com- modities and service that are necessary for the operation and success of all research, aca- demic, and public service pro- grams of the University. Any college or university, whether it's public or private, or whether its support comes from any imaginable combination of appropriations, gifts, tuitions, investments or endowments, is a unique management entity. It is unique in that the user of its products, the student, is not ex- pected to pay all of its cost and that resources are expected to be expended as fully as is possi- ble to achieve educational goals. Society's commitment to higher education is a mandate to the institution to use its resources for purposes of great social im- portance. The success of any of the Uni- versity's programs depend to a large extent upon the budget- ing, planning, and control by the Office for Business Affairs. Therefore, the ultimate aim of the Office for Business Affairs, is to devise and implement a system which will be continu- ously revised and improved, to provide the University with fi- nancial and management data, to improve the efficiency and accuracy in implementing any of its research, academic, and public service programs. Beginning the first of next year, some of the things the Of- fice for Business Affairs will be doing is to start implementation of a new accounting system for the University. The Maintenance Department as well as the Central Office will be involved in new and renovat- ed capital construction projects such as.- New Academic Service Build- ing (Administration Building) New Classroom Building Continuation of the Renova- tion of our Dormitories — which were started this past year. DEAN OF STUDENT JOHNNY D. SHEPPARD Dr. Johnny D. Sheppard, as Dean of Student Affairs, is re- sponsible for the administration and coordination of the student personnel program which is per- formed by specialists in various offices of the department. He is. charged with providing leader- ship and guidance to the follow- ing areas: Offices of the Associ- ate Deans of Students, the Counseling and Placement Cen- ter, Student Activities, the Health Center and Services and the Financial Aid Office. As the chief student person- nel officer of the University, his function is to administer and coordinate the programs and services of student life as re- flected in the various relations of the University policies and services related to student life are put into effect. He serves as chief advisor to the President on matters of University policy pertaining to student life and welfare and keeps the President informed on all matters of con- cern which occurs in the stu- dent personnel area. The present student service program at Kentucky State Uni- versity focuses primarily upon providing service to or for stu- dents and to a lesser degree on providing programs which con- tribute to students' educational experiences and self develop- ment. Our changing student popula- tion demands that we enhance some of our present programs and services, integrate others that are present on campus, and develop new ones if we are to meet the needs of our students. With the increased number of commuters, veterans, interna- tional student, and older stu- dents, it is vital that we expand and intergrate programs and services for this new population. Our strategy is 7 " to take students, from where they are to where we believe they must ultimately be. The thrust of our strategy is student upward mobility with requisite support diminishing with increasing student self- support (academic and person- al) until each student achieves his/her capacities to perform. The future goal of the Student Services Program, is to continue the usual student services, with no decline in quality while cen- tralizing efforts, expanding pro- grams and services, providing new directions for mutable so- cial needs, and maximizing re- sources. This goal is consistent with the University's mission of providing the student with spe- cific knowledge and skills for living more effectively in a DEAN OF DEVELOPMENT BERNARD TAYLOR Alumni Affairs, Public Rela- tions, Publications, Grantsman- ship and Governmental Rela- tions, Fund Raising, and the Ken- tucky State University Founda- tion, Incorporated with its Emergency Student Loan Pro- gram, in the main, comprize the Office of Development. While individually each office has a specific function, as the name implies, together they function toward the realization of a com- mon goal: "expanding institu- tional visibility through institu- tional vissibility." Hence, pro- grams and services which im- pact this goal, even remotely, are instigated by the Unit. Since its establishment in 1976, as a separate administra- tive unit, significant strides have been made toward accom- plishing individual goal-related objectives . . . Alumni support has more than doubled and the number of active Alumni Chap- ters has also doubled, newswor- thy items about the University are receiving greater and ex- panded coverage, an Office of Publications has been created resulting in a significant im- provement in the publications and graphics which leave the campus, additional external funds and other support are be- ing pursued from not only gov- ernmental agencies, but also from foundations, corporations, and individuals — a $406,000.00 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is but one example of the level of support which is being sought — and the Ken- tucky State University Founda- tion Incorporated, is providing a new level of support for institu- tional programs and services. Of particular note is the extent to which the Foundation's Emer- gency Loan Program is provid- ing service to the University Family. Priorities for the coming fis- cal year include expanding ac- tivities in all areas with special emphasis on public relations, publications, and on fund rais- ing, especially in the private sector. Of course, the success of our efforts depend, in a very great measure, to the level of support received from the Uni- versity Family. Can we count on you? ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT PERSONNEL N.R.

To offer courses and instruction in French, Spanish, and German for students who must fulfill a foreign lan- guage requirement (service function). 2. To provide adequate professional programs for French and Spanish majors who intend to teach in secon- dary schools or pursue graduate studies. Although its curricula pertain primarily to the areas of language, literature, and civilization, in composition courses, the instructors place special emphasis on the practical, everyday vocabulary of modern careers and activities. Thus we endeavor to combine theory and prac- tice, intellectual growth and vocational skills. At present, the Department has five faculty members: four full-time members (two in French and two in Spanish) and one part-time member (in elementary German). Two members of the Department are native speakers of the languages that they teach: Department Chairman Dr. Ar- senio Alfaro, (picture right) Spanish, originally from Puer- to Ricot Dr. Danielle Thompson, French, originally from Belgium. PHYSICALLY EDUCATED + MENTALLY PREPARED = HONOR ROLL The Department of Health and Physical Education chaired by Dr. Ralph Burns, of- fers a flexible undergraduate program in the areas of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. The department offers a se- quence of study leading to the B.S. degree enabling graduates to.- teach Health — teach Physical Education — Coach — Offi- ciate — pursue graduate studies in Healths physical Education; Physical, Occupational and Recreational Therapy; and Athletic Training. It further offers a sequence of studies leading to the Associate Degree and Minor in Recreation, with employment possibili- ties in: Government (Local, State and Feder- al); Industry; Mutiple Voluntary Agencies (Y's Campfire, Scouts, Youth Hostels, etc); Private; and Religious Agencies. AVIATION!! TRY INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION The Department of Industrial Education em- ployes some of the latest innovations in industri- al materials, machines and processes, couples with extensive library resources and a well rounded faculty in order to offer programs in several categories. At the baccalaureate degree level, two curriculum options are offered for in- dustrial teacher preparation and two for the preparation of manufacturing technologists. For those who want to pursue regular community college courses, want occupational enrichment, or desire occupational and personal develop- ment, the department offers associate degree programs in Aviation Technology, Drafting and Design Technology and Electronics Technology. Department chairman is Dr. William Bearden 9 ADDING AND SUBTRACTING = STRONGER DEPARTMENT The Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Social Science has revised its curriculum by deleting obsolete courses and adding more relevant ones, thereby providing the students with more options in regard to their course selections. A minor in Gerentology has been added to the Social Work program, providing students (as well as state government em- ployees) with the opportunity to acquire more knowledge in the area of aging. The addition of the minor is quite timely not only because of the national interest in the plight of the aged, but also a high degree of local interest in this area has been mani- fested. In regard to Community Service, most of the faculty members are involved in community projects or activities including, the YMCA, the Red Cross, the Senior Citizens Center, Planning § Zoning Board, Bluegrass Surban Health Council, and the Salva- tion Army. During the Fall Semester of 1977, this department conducted a workshop on Minority Concerns in Alcohol, friends and neighbors as far as Louisville and Fort Knox, Kentucky attended and participated in the workshop. Finally, during the Spring of 1978, a second workshop was given by the department entitled, Pre-retirement Planning.This activity held the atten- tion of many off-campus persons who played an active role in the planning, conducting, and attending the workshop. Department chairperson is Dr. Charles Humphrey. A PROGRAM THAT OFFERS YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SLEEP OVER IN THE PEN" The Criminal Justice Department has recently introduced a program called "The Student Expo- sure Program." The program provides students with an opportunity to live a particular phase of the Criminal Justice System, in which, they have studied in the classroom. During the first year, a group of twenty criminal justice majors spent a night and two days at the Kentucky State Peniten- tiary. During their stay the students were subject to the same conditions as the inmates, including eating, sleeping, and recreation with inmates. Professor Jessie Crenshaw serves department chairperson. 90 MATH DEPARTMENT HOST MATH BOWL The services of the Department of Math- ematics and Physics include a Basic Skills Math Program, major in Mathematics and Ap- plied Science, and the hosting of a regional Math Bowl. Through the Basic Skills — Math Program, students have opportunities to learn basic mathematics and science. Mathematics majors may prepare for graduate study, for occupations in mathematics related areas, and through a Double Degree Program offered in conjuction with the University of Kentucky, careers in engineering. The Kentucky State University regional Math Bowl is part of a state wide competition among Junior High Schools. Other regionals are held at other state universities, and a state champion is chosen each year in a final contest at the University of Kentucky. HIGHLIGHTS IN HOME ECONOMICS In early Fall, students majoring in Dietet- ics and Food Service Management, under the chairmanship of Dr. Alpha Jones, jour- neyed to Atlanta, Georgia to participate in scheduled hearings on "Nutrition Goals for Americans." Future teachers in Home Eco- nomics returned to Kentucky State Universi- ty campus with the 1977-78 Membership Award after the Spring meeting of the Stu- dent Section of the Kentucky Home Econom- ics Association at the Hyatt Regency in Lex- ington March 30-31, 1978. The Kentucky State University Chapter not only recruited the greatest number of new members over all other universities in Kentucky, but also cap- tured the office of Vice President Elect. De- bris Vinegar is the new state Vice Presi- dent. A Proclamation signed by Frankfort may- or James C. Birch designating April 2-9 as the Week of the Young Child was presented to the Home Economics Department on March 15, 1978. Participants, in the week long activities of exhibits, lectures and work- shops included Preschool and Day Care Ad- ministrators and personnel from Frankfort and Woodford County. [ ■ TODAY NASA PROJECTS: TOMORROW THE WORLD The Biology Department headed by Dr. Gertrude C. Ridgel has benefited signifi- cantly by three funded projects: two MBS NIH projects involve an investigation of transformation of normal hamster embryon- ic cells to tumerous cells by chemical car- cinogens, and a study of the effects of cer- tain environmental stresses on mammalian cells and tissues. The NASA project investi- gators are studying survivorship of DROSO- PHILA in oxygen rich and hypobaric atmos- pheres. Students and faculty research to- gether. SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ESTABLISHED Effective July I. 1978, the De- partment of Business and Econom- ics will be elevated to the School of Business. The Department also has received a Kellogg Foundation Grant in the amount of $406,000 to be used, primarily, for faculty de- velopment. Dr. Gus T. Ridgel, chairman of the department of business and economics, will serve as project director. "This grant will enable us to increase the qual- ity of departmental faculty," Rid- gel said. "It wilt also enhance teaching effectiveness and it will faciliate our efforts to achieve ac- crediation by the American As- sembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the profession- al accrediting body." CARRYING ON A GREAT TRADITION Several milestones were achieved in the De- partment of Music during the 1977-78 aca- demic year, such as: The Concert Choir, after rigorous competition, was selected to perform at the American Choral Directors Association meeting in Atlanta and received the only standing ovation in the history of the organi- zation. For the first time in recent years, the KSU Marching Band was selected to perform for the Kentucky Derby. At least one faculty member served on a national commission of the largest profession- al music society. An artist-faculty member performed recit- als on the campuses of other universities and performed concerto with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra. The Department of Music is chaired by Dr. Warren C. Swindell. THE PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Chaired by Leonard A. Slade, Jr. (Ph. D. from the University of Illinois), the Depart- ment of English has written books, articles for journals, and book review for Kentucky's ma- jor newspapers. Several teachers have read papers at national meetings, while others have held national offices in professional organiza- tions and have edited national newsletters and journals. Since 1972 (when Slade became Chairman) the Department has added eight Ph. D.'s. Gra- duate degrees were earned at the following universities: Illinois, Notre Dame, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Southern Illinois (Carbondale), Cornell, Iowa, Northeastern, Minnesota, Columbia, and Atlanta. The Department looks forward to receiving more fellowships and grants for graduate study, traditional research, and improved ser- BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS ARE IN STORE FOR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Department of Education and Psychology at the present offers two majors: Elementary Education and Psychology. Long-range plans include the addition of the following majors; Early Childhood Education in con- junction with the Home Economics Department, and Special Education. Two student organizations are ac- tive within the Department: I. The Student National Education Association and 2. The Secondary Education Club. The chairperson for the Department of Education and Psychology is Dr. Alfred Wiley. CO-ED NURSING PROGRAM ENROLLMENT INCREASING The Kentucky State University Associate De- gree Nursing Program, chaired by Mrs. Patsy O. Turner covers two academic years. The two year curriculum includes general education and professional courses. The program is designed to prepare both men and women to become reg- istered nurses who can function with intellectual and technical competency. It combines studies at the University with planned and guided ex- perience in patient care at 5 different hospitals and 3 Health agencies. Successful completion of the Nursing program qualifies the graduate to receive an Associate in Applied Science Degree and to write the exami- nation for licensure as a Registered Nurse in the state of Kentucky. THE STAGE IS WAITING FOR YOU Through the guidance of the Area's Director, Dr. Winona Fletcher? two faculty members, Mrs. Olive Stroud-Sheffey and Mr. Rob Woods; and the two technical assistants, Mrs. Sherry Howard and Mr. John Smith, students who enter into the theatre receive a quality education as well as chances to develop their creativity and imaginations. During the 1977-78 school year students partici- pated in Dr. Fletcher's major production of Run Little Chillun, an exciting revival of Ha$l Johnson's 1938 Federal Theatre Project Play which also starred Mrs. Olive Stroud-Sheffey and Mr. Robert Woods of the Speech and Theatre Faculty and had participants from the Frankfort Community the- atre group. In September of that year, students snjoyed an experimental Readers Theatre produc- tion of The Battle Of The Sexes, directed by Mrs. Olive Stroud-Sheffey. SIGNED, SEALED AND READY FOR DELIVERY General Studies and Academic Support provides an "academic home" for Freshman Orientation, Army and Air Force ROTC, and General Curriculum student advising, so says the unit's director Dean Mable Hen- derson. In addition, several programs in this unit work separately and together to extend and deepen the student's university experience. These include Freshman Studies, Co-operative Education, UYA, Spe- cial Programs, Testing, Basic Skills, and Pre-Engineer- ing. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE DIVERSIFICATION IS THE WATCH WORD The first School of Public Affairs in the Com- monwealth of Kentucky began January 1, 1973 at Kentucky State University. The initial degree offering was the Master of Public Affairs. The School is now the largest public management graduate program in Kentucky, a growth posi- tion which increases our academic, research, and public service training impact. The School attracts individuals from the broadest possible social and economic backgrounds, who expect to or already operate in both the public and private sectors. All teaching and research ac- tivities are problem-oriented and pragmatic. Professional career options leading to interdisci- plinary and specialized training in the develop- ment of management and technical skills are offered at the graduate level. A complementary bachelor degree program in public affairs was started in January 1978 at the undergraduate level. Dean of School of Public Affairs is Dr. James A. Graves. The Kentucky State University Com- munity College offers evening and Sat- urday classes on the campus; and even- ing, noon-hour, and Saturday classes off campus, in Frankfort, and in other communities. People who want to enroll in college as full-time or as part-time students, but who cannot attend during the day are provided numerous oppor- tunities to pursue degrees or to work toward meeting special needs through a variety of courses and a variety of schedule opportunities, during the fall, winter, and summer semesters. Dean of the Community College is Dr. Frank Bean. DR. JOSEPH P. LEONE, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF REGENTS OTHER REGENT MEMBERS ARE: JOHN B. ASTLES, VALERIE KAVANAUGH, GREEN V. CURRY, RODNEY T.

WILLIAM EXUM RUNNERS TAKE YOUR MARK, GET SET; GO!!! On this note the race begins, and it continues on for a life- time. Dr. William Exum of Gary, Indiana by way of Carbondale, Illinois, has been running for a long time and winning all the way. Racing through life has provided many achievements and downfalls that were over- shadowed by the gratification received by being on the inside track and actively participating in ventures which were benefi- cial to many. Dr. Exum had always been on the inside track, serving as an assistant manager on the Olym- pic track team in Munich, Ger- many in 1972, and head manager of the '76 games in Montreal v Canada. Dr. Exum has also served as Co-Chairman of the committee responsible for the color and style selection of the uniforms worn by the '76 Olym- pians. Going back down the track Dr. Exum turned the curves as a member of the NCAA Council from 1972 to 1976. Hurdles suc- cessful as Chairman of NCAA Council Division Cross-Country Meet Committee and Assistant Manager of the USA Mens Pan- American Olympic Team in Cali, Columbia in 1971 Dr. Exum Sprinted down the field as a member of the Selec- tion Committee of the National Hall of Fame for Track and Field in the United States, and as chairman of the NCAA National Summer Youth Sports Program Committee. He headed towards the tape as a member of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Com- mittee then jumped off track to serve as chairman of the Frank- fort-Franklin County Planning and zoning Commission and as a member of the Mayor's Adviso- ry Committee. But whether on or off the track Dr. Exum has run a great race. He arrived at K.S.U. in 1949 and worked magic as our Athle- tic Director, track coach, assis- tant football coach, basketball coach, tennis and cross-country coach. Dr. William Exum has, after twenty-nine years of ser- vice, created an athletic tradi- tion for Kentucky State Univer- sity and a Legend within him- self. Dr. Exum, the man, the ba- sis of a tradition and our legend, we salute you.

KFNTUCKY THOROBREDS IN THE NEWS 1977-78 EQUALITY IN EDUCATION GOAL OF AIDP By Barbara Hannah During the Civil Rights movement it was noted that black schools were not as competitive as white schools, and that something should be done. To help allevi- ate the problem AIDP, Advanced Institu- tional Development Program,. was begun with the idea of putting more money into black schools. The program, under the Ti- tle III, was to help bring about equality in education. AIDP is incorporated into two phases. First, the basic program, then the ad- vanced program. In its early years with AIDP, Kentucky State was under its basic program. The basic program was not multi-year program, it allowed more for institutional development and there was no stipulation for planning management. In 1973, K.S.U. requested the advanced program. The advanced phase of AIDP required that K.S.U. must develop a plan- ning -management development program where-by there would be more efficient management. A grant of 2.3 million dol- lars was offered K.S.U. with K.S.U. match- ing it with 1.8 million dollars. Minerva Figgs, AIDP coordinator for Kentucky State, explained the areas in which K.S.U. was funded beginning in 1974. The areas are Career Advancement, Student Services, Planning Management and Evaluation System. The Career Advancement portion of AIDP consists of strenghening existing academic programs at K.S.U. and intro- ducing others whereby minorities could be involved in more careers. Two new programs at Kentucky State include Man- ufacturing Technology and Commercial Music. The Student Services segment of AIDP provides funds for the counseling center. The funds help the center to expand the staff and offer more help to the student. The third area in which K.S.U. is funded by AIDP is Planning-Management. In this area all segments of the institution are touched upon. This area seeks to answer the question of how efficiently and effec- tively each academic department at K.S.U. has done its job. It also addresses the problems associated with allocation of resources and the effectiveness of various programs for students. Planning- Management is supported by Data-Base Management which is concerned with computerized information. Overall, the AIDP program seeks to make things better for the student and to meet intellectual and personal develop- ment along with institutional develop- ment. HOPES FOR A BETTER DAY EDITORIAL "There's a better day coming for Ken- tucky State University, hallelujah, hallelu- jah." This statement, made by our president, Dr. W.A. Butts, left everyone wondering and hoping of the possibility of uplifting K.S.U. to a level of respectability. Dr. Butts delivered a sermonstyle speech during our first All University Convocation. Dr. Blake opened the as- sembly with hopes of having a strong year, commenting on the strength of the student body and faculty. But it was Dr. Butts' delivery that touched home. Dr. Butts spoke of an effort filled fu- ture, with full development needed from everyone. He said he favors critics that deal with facts, and emphasized how we shouldn't fight against each other. "The University is no greater than those who work and study here," said Dr. Butts. Adding that "The character of this University depends on those who fill the chairs of authority." Dr. Butts then shift- ed directions to point put the responsibil- ities of the students, stating that "if you are not here for business-you have no business here." He went on to advise the students, "don't be so cool in your life and freeze, that when you thaw out you will drip into oblivion." Dr. Butts went to state that this is not a campus for loafers, nor is it a haven for drugabuse. Later in his speech Dr. Butts talked about the student-teacher ratio here at K.S.U., and how it didn't comply with the State of Kentucky's norm of sixteen to one. Dr. Butts pointed out that there will be no growth in the size of the faculty but the recruitment of instate students is a must. He went on to talk about the rela- tionship between the faculty and the stu- dent body, and how he hopes to enhance that through a faculty-student visitation program. There's a better day coming for K.S.U.," Let's all work together to make this wish a reality. FORMER ATHLETES INDUCTED Four Kentucky State Univer- sity graduates were inducted into the KSU Athletic Hall of Fame during ceremonies Fri- day, October 7 at 6 p.m. at the third annual Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet. Inducted were: Sanford T. Roach, Class of '37) Elmer C. Collins, class of '38) James Roscoe Chambers, class of '41; and Clifford Clairborne, class of '60. Sanford T. Roach, is a for- mer principal of Lexington Junior High School as well as an outstanding basketball coach at Dunbar High School also in Lexington. He was cited for his accomplishments as a basketball superstar in 1936 and '37, when he was cap- tain of the Thorobred cages and named All-Midwest guard and forward. Elmer C. Collins, recently retired, assistant program manager for Compensatory Education programs for the Cleveland (Ohio) Public Schools, was honored for his achievements on the gridiron, later as boxing coach at Ken- tucky State University. James Roscoe Chambers, project director for Educa- tional Talent Search, Miami- Dade Community College, was cited for his brilliance as an end on the Thorobred gridiron during the late thirties and early fourties. Clifford Claiborne who is administrator of Title I in- struction programs for Chica- go Public Schools, was hon- ored for performance in foot- ball as an All-Midwest offen- sive and defensive end. The National Alumni Associ- ation sponsored banquet was held in the Carl M. Hill Student Center Ballroom. RECORDS FALL FOR SULLIVAN By Danny Ray White Kentucky State Senior quarter- back, Curt Sullivan found Octo- ber 1st. a record setting day. On a day when ball carriers found yardage tough on a rain-soaked field, Sullivan filled the air with spirals, passing his way into the record books. A four-year regu- lar, the Ail-American candidate and prospect passed for 271 yards against Carson-Newman Saturday afternoon. Sullivan had a total offense output of 306 in all the Breds as a team had 431 total yards. He has a career total of 4,239 total yards and is expected to surpass 5,000 yards total offense by the sea- son's end. After holding the club completion record for two years, Sullivan termed the new record "just another good perfor- mance." The pro scouts will think so too, especially after Sullivan surpasses the other Thorobred passing records at the season's end. Nice going Curtl GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS HISTORIC BUDGET Governor Julian Carroll is living up to his self-image as an "education governor", by recommending that $16.2 million dollars be allocated to KSU over the next two years. Carroll's suggested appropiation is actually $400,000 over the Council on Higher Education's recommendation. Citing the $6 million renovation program currently underway on campus, Carroll explained that the recommended increase is intended to pro- tect the state's investment here. "Over the years, the upkeep of these facilities had been neglected to the extent that the safety of students, faculty and staff was jeopardized," he said. The $400,000 increase will be used toward the expansion of the campus maintenance program. The Council had asked for $7.45 million from the general fund for the 1978-79 fiscal year for K-State and 8.54 million for the 1979-80. Carroll's budget proposal calls for $7.56 million the first year and $8.58 million the second year.

UNIVERSITY RECEIVES LARGEST PRIVATE GRANT IN HISTORY President W.A. Butts has an- nounced receipt of a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, Michigan, in the amount of $406,000. This grant, to be awarded over the next three years, is to be used to strengthen and expand the Uni- versity's programs in business and economics. Specifically, the funds will be used for faculty development, faculty salaries, faculty and student travel, con- sultants, equipment and supplies and for library resources. "This is the largest private grant in the history of the Uni- versity," Butts said, "and we are most appreciative to the Kellogg Foundation for its com- mitment to higher education, especially to institutions like Kentucky State University." We believe that this grant repre- sents the catalyst for our pro- gram to attract funds from oth- er external sources, especially in the private sector ... an area where we have up to now exper- ience minimal success." Ber- nard Taylor, dean of develop- ment, said of the grant, "receipt of a grant of this magnitude from a foundation with the pres- tige of Kellogg will certainly en- hance our efforts as regards the development and submission of proposals to other private agen- cies . . . our development pro- gram has finally gotten that much needed shot in the arm; we can only go up." mm KEEP TALKING" "ALL PROBLEMS ARE THE PHILOSOPHERS TELL THOUSANDS OF 180 "I TRIED MAKING WAR WITH MY MOUTH TAPED SHUT BUT NO ONE WAS ANGRY AND THE SHOOTING STOPPED.
