4 5 UNLV Basketball Alumni Association: UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 Maryland Parkway LasVegas,Nevada 89154 BIRTH OF A DREAM Office of the President By Patricia Morse Jarman

We've heard the phrase " I Have a Dream". many times since the late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King coined it in his July 20, 1982 freedom speech in the early 1960' s. However, many times it is easier to have a dream and leave it as a dream than to make it a reality. Lonnie Wright is a native Las Vegan who always wanted to play basketball for UNLV and the Runnin' Rebels. That materialized for Lonnie as a varsity letterman during the 1971-72, 1972-73 and 1973-74 seasons. In 1978 Lonnie had another dream of a UNLV Basketball Alumni Association. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted it, so much so, the thought, occupied his conscious, pre-conscious and invaded his unconscious dreams until he felt he had to give it a try. Amid great opposition and negative comments of "It can't be done," Lonnie did it. In April of 1978, the UNLV Basketball Alumni Association was born. As founder and president of the association, Lonnie wanted it to be more than a social club, he felt that the community had done so much to promote the 1971-76 Runnin' Rebels, that the Basketball Alumni Association should give something back to the community. Over the past three years the association has made numerous contributions to youth-oriented projects, such as the Doolittle Recreation Center, Helen J. Stewart Elementary School, the Independent Youth Athletic Association and the Poor People Pulling Together. They have put on free basketball clinics which stressed the academic side of the sport as well as the physical. In addition to that, the association has helped many of the basketball players who for one reason or another did not obtain their degree, return to school and graduate. One of the biggest events the Basketball Alumni Association puts on is the annual Community Round ball Classic-Alumni game. The first game was in 1978 against the UNLV in-house Runnin' Rebels, the Alumni won. In 1979 the Alumni played the members of the UCLA Alumni, for a thrilling victory of 155-134 for the UNLV Basketball Alumni Association . In 1980, the Alumni played the Notre Dame Alumni, in a net-ripping-pulsating victory of 127-125 in overtime. Mr. Lonnie G. Wright Rebounding from a dramatic overtime defeat delivered by the University of Kentucky last year, the Runnin' Rebels President will seek out their old court foes from UCLA. University of Nevada Basketball Alumni This years game will feature Bill Walton's reentry into Professional Basketball, after a three year lay off due to athletic injuries. The game is appropriately titled " The Second Time Around", and it promises to be even more exciting than the Dear Lonnie: first UNLV vs UCLA game in 1979, because victory the second time around, can be even sweeter than the first!!!!!

I appreciate the continuing support of your organization for intercollegiate athletics at UNLV. Athletics is an integral part of student and community life on our campus. It has p rov ided educational opportunities f or many students who might otherwise not have the resources to attend college. It prov ides interest, e n tertainment a nd school spirit for many who attend UNLV and many in the community who follow our activities with interest and loyalty .

Our primary interest, of course, is in the student-athlete as a student, and that is why the support of your organization is esp ecially significant. Your commitment to assisting athletes i n the comp letion of their college degrees is most commendable, and we at UNLV want to continue to work closely with you in these efforts.
