_- Ab"!. ,MIV --m I STftTE~ (_.\/_(~~'{ M-+- ~k"~V\0 11J Ol~~\1~ '--s~()~ \11>'115 ~~~--(_b v~ Aw' MOREHEAD, Ky.---Morehead State University faculty and staff joined recently with personnel from several state agenci~s to learn the latest infonnation on the Kentucky Education Refonn Act (KERA) at what is thought to be the first conference of its kind in the state. MSU was the host of the.KERA Update Conference: Partners in Education Refonn (August 27) which was attended by more than 450 and included several area school superintendents. Addressing the group, Sherry K. Jelsma, secretary of Education and Humanities Cabinet, said that Kentuckians have already proven that they are the most competitive by adopting KERA and now can prove that they're the best. "Higher education needs to be a day-to-day partner with KERA," Jelsma said. "MSU has already reworked 117 classes to meet KERA needs and is to be commended for that." Organizing a ~ update like this one is an example of the kind of leadership we want to see at Kentucky's universities, said Dr. Robert F. Sexton, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence who lead the afternoon sessions on the history of KERA. "This shows positive image leadership in Kentucky," he said. The message from the Council on Higher Education is simple, said Dr. Gary Cox, executive director. "If you don't want to serve the schools and the folks who run those schools, don't do it; get out of the business. This meeting shows you're serious." Dr. Cox noted that all faculty members in the room were dealing with KERA now, an issue that is sometimes overlooked. "You're all training teachers, whether you're teaching · biology 101 or an education course. " He reiterated that training teachers is a responsibility of the entire University, not just those in the education departments. A fonner school principal, Lois Adams-Rodgers, deputy commissioner, Bureau of Learning Support Services with state Department of Education, said she was encouraged by MSU's commitment to KERA. "MSU is w9rking with KERA five days a week, rather than on Friday afternoons," she said.· "It has to be in your classrooms, whether you're preparing teachers or scientists." Because KERA is still in its infancy, everyone does Iiot know all there is to know, Dr. Roland Goddu, associate commissioner of the Office of Teacher Education, said. "We must respect what we do know and build upon that knowledge. Don't just do something because it's always been done that way. We need to realize what we still have to learn and we can all learn together," he said. (MORE) KERA Update 2-2-2-2-2 Dr. Goddu discussed the New Teacher Outcomes that have been adopted by the '' ' Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board upon recommendation of the Kentucky Council on New Teacher Performance Standards. "The model will be outcomes-based; the assessment will be developed by the state, and the training will need to be developed by MSU I : as a total university," he said. "MSU' s task will be to develop a teacher education model which will meet the new state standards." During the afternoon sessions, there were discussions of multicultural education, high school restmcturing and c~rriculum framework. Multicultural education, according to Jan Arnow, Multicultural Branch manager with the state department, should prepare students to live, learn, and work together to achieve a ! common goal in a culturally diverse society. "The world is becoming multicultural and students ). )'· need to have the education to deal with this," she said . .. ' Pat Todd, Gheens Professional Development Academy with Jefferson County Schools in Louisville, discussed the proposed high school restmcturing. The new plan, to be approved by '-- the State Board for Elementary and Secondary Education, calls for a more personal approach, a more rigorous intellectual course of study, and an exit review for high school students. In the curriculum framework session, Agnes Durbin, manager of sciences unit, Division of Curriculum with the state department, discussed the six learning goals as outlined by KERA. ' ' "Content is still important and should be coupled with processes such as becoming self-sufficient, working in teams, thinking critically and creatively and integrating knowledge," she said. "Students need opportunities to have guided choices," Durbin added. "You should expect a high level of achievement from students." From the opening remarks by MSU President Ronald G. Eaglin, to the fmal group meeting, the conference was designed to be a working session. The day-long project was jointly sponsored by The Kentucky Department of Education, The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, The Kentucky Educational Development Corporation, Kentucky Department of Education Region 7 Service Center, and Morehead State. #### i I PY -.

JUDITH YANCY, DIRECTOR MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY UPO BOX 1100 MOREHEAD, KY 40351-1689 606-783-2030 1 Sept. 14, 1993 I FOR IMMEDIATE. RELEASE MOREHEAD, Ky.---As tourism continues to increase in the region, the hospitality industry is expected to be_ one of the next major employers in Eastern Kentucky and one program at Morehead State University is gearing up to meet that demand. The Hotel-Restaurimt-Institutional Management Program is undergoing changes to meet . -. the needs of students specftcally in MSU's service region, according to Garret Ross, assistant _professor ·and program leader. The curriculum, which is in the Department for Human Sciences (formerly Home Economics), is being revised with an eye to encouraging MSU graduates to stay in the area by starting businesses and s~king jobs in the local hospitality industry. Keeping the Univ~rsity's graduates in the region after they fmish their education has been a difficult task in the past due to lack of jobs, but Ross said that trend can be changed with a program geared at practical application. "We want the students to come out with general knowledge and a good-background in the industry combined with .entrepreneurial skills so they can be encouraged to come back and start a business in the region," said Ross, who joined MSU in July: The· hospitality market has mushroomed and will continue to grow more than ever, he said. The state Tourism Cabinet, which has been aggressively promoting Kentuck}r's parks and I recreation areas, reports that tourism has increased 30 percent this year. The U.S: Bureau of ) Labor Statistics, Economic Research Institute, recently reported that hotel management is expected to increase 44 percent in the job market by the year 2005. Since recent environmental regulations have weakened the coal and timber industry, tourism and hospitality are becoming the newest frontier in Eastern Kentucky's industrial pursuits, Ross said. Among the curriculum features are an empl ·sis on management skills through classes in the College of Business and on-the-job training with local businesses through a cooperative program that could lead to job placement upon graduation, he ~d. I (M!)RE) I · Hogpitality/Tourism 2-2-2-2-2 Ross, whose experience entails managing various clubs and restaurants from New York to Canada since 1982, believes students can receive greater benefits of critical thinking skills through job experience as well as classroom theory. "I'm trying to incorporate my experience into my classes. I've worked in the industry - ' and have the academic knowledge. I want to combine those two to get a better program for the students," said Ross, who expects to finish his doctoral dissertation in October at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He said .the program will highlight job opportunities that students may not have realized were there. "I'm very positive on this program. Located nearby are some of the best parks and recreation facilities such as Cave Run Lake and Carter Caves Sta~e Park. These are strategically located to become key elements for a good, solid hospitality program here," he said. Ross said that the approximately 40 students now in MSU's program are responding already and are excited ·about the opportunity to work in the field. He said he hopes to triple enrollment in three to seven years, keeping pace with a growing need for hotels, restaurants and club facilities as touri~m becomes a primary industry in the state. Already a member of the Morehead-Rowan County Chamber of Commerce, Ross hopes to form a solid business-education partnership with the community to communicate and share expertise in the local ind1.1stry.

MSU officials believe that the general economic status of the region coupled with an increase in the minimum index for unconditional admission may have contributed to the decline. The latter may have affected some May 1993 high school graduates who needed at least a 400 admissions index to enroll unconditionally. "I think it is important to keep in mind that while we may have fewer students, our . new freshmen are coming in with better credentials which translates into a better chance for their success," MSU President Ronald G. Eaglin said. Noting that the enrollment drop did not come as a total surprise, Dr. Eaglin said: "We have had seven straight years of phenomenal growth, but we've also been - . saying that this would not continue. We've been expecting it to level off at some point," he added. "However," he said, "we did meet the enrollment projection (8,600) that our budget is based on for this year. n While headcount figures for the University's regional class sites have not been tallied, the Office of Graduate and Extended Campus Programs said that "duplicated" (students taking more than one class) enrollment was up overall by 15 percent. The preliminary enrollment figures were announced today at a meeting ofMSU's -, Board of Regents. #### i ',. ~~~~------1-NS_T_IT_U_TIO_N_A_L_R_E~_·_n_oN_S n JUDITH YANCY, DIRECTOR MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY UPO BOX 1100 MOREHEAD, KY 40351-1689 606-783-2030 Sept. 17, 1993 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOREHEAD, Ky.-Morehead State University's Associate Degree in Nursing program has received accreditation from the National League for Nursing. The five-year initial accreditation period is retroactive, covering the program's May 1992 graduating class as well as this year's, according to Dr. Linda Salyer, chair of MSU's Department of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences. In 1987, MSU suspended the two~year nursing degree program, which ·had been · accredited by the NLN, but reinstated it with the fall of 1990 to !lleet the region's need for additional skilled registered nurses. At that time, it was necessary to reapply for accreditation, Dr. Salyer said. "The associate degree faculty and staff, under the leadership of Dr. Salyer and the program coordinator, Dr. Janet Gross, did a tremendous job and they should be extremely proud that their efforts bore fruit," said Dr. Gerald DeMoss, dean of MSU's College of Science and Technology. Currently the ADN program has 90 students enrolled. The curriculum combines clil.ssroom study with intensive clinical experience at hospitals and other health care agencies in the region. · In addition to the ~o-year program, MSU also offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with two options:· a traditional four-year program and the R.N. track which offers registered nurses the opportunity to earn their bachelor's degree while · working full-time. #### )(edia------INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONS !

' MOREHEAD, Ky.---Services housed at Morehead State University for adult literacy ' ' programs have been expanded, according to Sharon Jackson, project director of the KET GED ON TV program. A referral hotline was installed Sept. 1 to offer infonnation for all adult education programs available in Kentucky. The number is 1-800-228-3382, and is designed to infonn the public as to what programs are available in each area of the state. 1 ; This is just one more option offered at MSU to let interested people statewide know how they can obtain their General Equivalency Diploma (GED), whether it be through adult education programs in their area or the currently existing GED ON TV program offered on KET. The number to call to inquire about GED ON TV is 1-800-538-4433. Jackson said that during the first nine days of the new referral line, her office r~eived 471 calls from persons statewide who called to ask about obtaining a GED or other adult education services. She reported, ·based on a survey, that persons who get their GED can increase their annual average income by about $2,700. She added that increased ' \ ' : education generates more revenue for the state as well and is good for economic development. The office has served approximately 50,000 persons through the GED ON TV program since the pilot program began in 1984. About 16,000 adults have fonnally enrolled i I, and approximately 6,500 have passed the test, Jackson said.

Totaling $63.4 million, the request contains 44 proposed projects to be funded through various sources, including federal, state and agency funds. The list was given earlier to the Council on Higher Education which will submit its recommendations to the Governor's Office in November. Top priority on the list $6.5 million for the second phase of the Lappin Hall project. '--' The first phase, a $5 million addition to the science building, is scheduled to be completed this ' i fall. Phase two involves renovations to the facility which was built in 1937 with an addition in 1967. 1 ', The regents also ratified the University's operating budget for the 1994-96 biennium. The proposed budget totals $41.5 million for 1994-95 and $51 million the following year and is i : based on full formula funding in 1995-96 in accordance with CHE guidelines. MSU's current state appropriation is 68.6 percent of the formula-ge1,1erated amount. "We've lost ground as a result of budget cuts over the past few years," MSU President Ronald G. E;iglin said. He added that he was I!Ot optimistic on the chances of full formula funding. The CHE' s fmance committee is scheduled to hold initial budget hearings next month with each institution with recommendations to be made in November so that the state's higher education budget request may be submitted to the Governor's Office by Nov. 15. In other business, the board learned that private giving to the University during the past fiscal year had reached an all-time high of $1.6 million, representing a 22 percent increase over the previous year's total of $1.3 million.

"On our campus especially, it is important that we foster an awareness of the value of cultural diversity, because many of our students may not have had an opportunity to experience cultures that differ from their own," said MSU President Ronald G. Eaglin. That diversity was celebrated this year with a special achievement for one Morehead State University student: Dionne C. Coatie of Louisville became the first African American "Miss Morehead State University" and represented the University in the Miss Kentucky Pageant. Coatie, a social work major, is a December graduation candidate and plans to pursue a graduate degree with the goal of becoming a mental health counselor or family/child therapist. Providing appropriate role models for African American students among the University's faculty and staff is a major priority for the University also. In view of that commitment, MSU has added to its professional ranks this year: Abbie Robinson-Armstrong, an assistant professor of elementary, reading and special education, and Carlos Edwards, a minority retention specialist. Robinson-Armstrong, a Ph.D. candidate at Michigan State University, is the former director of the Division of Early Childhood, state Department of Education. She brings 14 years of experience of teaching early childhood education at large urban and small rural colleges and seven years as chair of departments of Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Administration at colleges in Canada, as well as pre-school teaching experience. The co-author of several texts on reading levels, she also has written numerous articles . for professional journals and other publications. A frequent presenter at international conferences, Robinson-Armstrong has served as an early childhood education consultant. (MORE) ' . Career Education 2-2-2-2-2 Among her professional memberships are the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. An MSU alumnus with an A.B. degree in communications and an M.A. degree in adult and higher education, Edwards serves as an academic adviser, teaches career planning courses and coordinates a mentoring program for minority students. Known as GUSTO (Guiding Undergraduate Students Toward Opportunities), the program matches incoming freshman or transfer minority students with a faculty member in their m:ljor field and offers workshops on career choices and study skills. Edwards, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a member of Phi Delta Kappa professional educators fraternity and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. MSU officials agree that recruitment of minority students is not enough. The real issue is retention, so that they can learn and earn their degree which is a passport to a position within their career field. MSU's attempts at providing an educational experience don't end with a baccalaureate degree, but there is a concerted effort to encourage graduate education. To assist minority students in their pursuit of a master's degree, 12 new graduate assistantship slots were established and earmarked for black students. Also MSU is participating in a special doctoral program offered for minority students, Faculty for the Future Fellowship Program. One student already has begun the program at the University of Kentucky. Another effort on the undergraduate level, MTEP (the Minority Teacher Education Program) is beginning to see success in graduating qualified black teachers. Two graduates from MTEP are already teaching in Louisville area schools, while there are two candidates for December graduation and three more slated for May, according to Ernestine Winfield, MTEP coordinator. High school students identified by the teachers or counselors as potential MTEP participants are brought to the campus throughout the year, including a weeklong session at MSU in the summer. During these visits, they hear about the teaching profession from minority educators and take part in special workshops.

Currently there are 42 students in the program, of whom half are recipients of MSU awards. Now in its sixth year, MTEP is funded in part by the Kentucky Council on Higher Education and targets schools in Jefferson, Fayette and surrounding counties. The program also received $23,000 from the state Department of Education for student scholarships for 1992-94. One MTEP student, Kimberly Simpson of Louisville, was one of nine students statewide to receive a Kentucky Scholarships in Teacher Education for Minorities award for 1993-94. This past summer, MSU served as a host for the Whitney M. Young Scholars Program, sponsored by the Louisville-based Lincoln Foundation. Each spring, the Young Scholars Program accepts 50 sixth graders who have academic potential·but are economically disadvantaged and provides them academic support along with enrichment programs through high school. Those who meet the criteria through high school graduation are assured fmancial assistance for college. ' Through its Office of Minority Student Affairs, MSU offers a diversity of programs and activities designed to foster pride in black cultural heritage, with speakers ranging from successful alumni to artist Bettye Lee Nichols and film historian Donald Bogle. In addition to observing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday each year, MSU also celebrates Black Awareness Week and Black History Month. This past year, the University and the community combined to pay tribute to the late civil rights leader with a candlelight march and program, "Unity in the Community," with the Rev. Raymond Brown as speaker. Although students are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of campus life, including -- student government, there are activities offered specifically for the black student: two 1 historically black Greek sororities, four fraternities, as well as The Brotherhood which is a co-ed social organization and LaDies, a women's group. There is also the Black Gospel Ensemble, now in its 26th year, and the Black Student Coalition. "While we hope students will be prepared for college life, academically and socially, there are safety nets for those who may not be," said Mike Mincey, MSU vice president for student life. Among them is a Little Brother-Little Sister program, an academic and social peer counseling effort giving upperclassmen the opportunity to help new students succeed. The University also offers a special orientation program for new and returning minority students. #### ~------~------~M~E=D~IA~R=EL~A~TIO~N=S Photo JUDITH YANCY.

"I guess it's in my blood," said the Morehead State University senior who wants to teach home economics at the high school level. When next May rolls around, she hopes to be among those to walk across the stage at Spring Commencement and into a classroom. With graduation less than a year away, Holtz has begun the countdown. Utmost on her list of school obligations are completing the 14 hours she's carrying this semester and doing student teaching next semester. Then it will be time to find a job, she said. Holtz began toying with the idea of becoming a teacher while in high school. "In my senior year, I thought about it," she said, then followed up by enrolling at MSU, her father's alma mater, that fall, planning to be a vocational home economics major. After two years and a "program change or two," Holtz decided to take a break from her education. "I wanted to join the Air Force, but, they didn't want me, so I joined the Navy instead," she said. Two weeks after making the decision, she was on her way to the "bootcamp for females" in Orlando, Fla. After that, it was Meridian, Miss., for more training, then to the Naval Air Facility on Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland where she remained until her military obligation was completed. How does Holtz describe that part of her life? "Some good, some bad," she said, remembering the times she saw the fireworks at the Capital and visited the Smithsonian Institute. During her Navy years, she got married, had a son and got divorced. Among those things she will not miss, are the Friday inspections. "College is not as strict," she said. "The boots had to be polished, uniform pressed; everything had to be just so-so." Holtz left the military in March 1991 and she and her young son moved back to Kentucky. Along with the 'discharge with the rank of E4, she received recognition for being enlisted during Desert Storm. When she returned to the Morehead State campus, Holtz was an interior design major but switched to vocational home economics during her first semester back. (MORE) Holtz 2-2-2-2-2 "There just isn't enough time to do everything I want to do," said the Dean's List student. "There's classes, homework, play with my son, .... " But Holtz is seeing rewards for her labor. Last year, she was the winner of a statewide competition, sponsored by Electrical Women's Round Table (EWRT). She received a $500 scholarship for discussing the value of electricity in today's homes. Jane Ellington, associate professor in the Department of Human Sciences (formerly Home Economics), is not surprised by Holtz's efforts. "She is a very motivated, young person and strives to do an excellent job," she said. "She makes good grades and should be complimented for balancing the responsibilities of being a full time student and a single parent." And why did Holtz choose home economics for a career? "Because it's so interesting," she said. "I wouldn't want to be stuck in a situation where it's always the same; this is a field that offers variety," she added, noting the numerous areas to be explored, sewing, cooking, interior design, child care, and fashion merchandising among the different avenues. "And, you can get new information to stay updated by going to conferences and conventions," she continued. Staying busy is nothing new for Holtz whose day usually begins around 6 a.m. and often doesn't end until midnight. On the MSU campus, she serves as historian for the Student Home Economics Association and is a member of the Nontraditional Eagle Society. Evenings and weekends, she works on the genealogy of her family, does various jobs for the Flemingsburg Baptist Church where she is a member, and hones her photography skills with Phillip, her 4-year-old son, as the chief model. During her early years, Holtz lived in Ohio, Kentucky and North Carolina and traveled from one end of the U.S. to the other. Eldest offour children of Lois and the Rev. Roy Machen II of Flemingsburg, the Augusta High School graduate hopes to find a teaching position in one of the surrounding counties. #### py MEDIARELATIONS I Photo~------J-U-D-IT-H-~YA~N~C~Y.~D=IR~E~CT~O=R MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY UPO BOX 1100 MOREHEAD, KY 40351-1689 606-783-20~0 MSU SENIOR BOUND FOR TEACIDNG Estha Holtz, right, Flemingsburg senior, hopes to find a teaching position when she I graduates from Morehead State University next May.

MOREHEAD, KY 40351-1689 606-783-2030 Sept. 25, 1993 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOREHEAD, Ky.---lf a particular toy had a natural habitat, where would it be? That is the theme of a series of "Environmental Portraits" on display Oct. 4 through Nov. 5 in the Strider Gallery, Claypool-Young Art Building on the Morehead State University campus. The exhibit is the work of Eric Shindelbower, who has been the University's chief I , photographer for more than three years. The show, which consists of 26 pieces, highlights puppets, dolls and other action figures that range from 4" to 29" in height. According to the photographic artist, he used a humorous approach to the subject matter while trying to provide an interesting group of tongue-and-cheek portraits of the various toys. "I hope viewers will use their imagination and have a sense of humor. It's supposed to be amusing," Shindelbower said. "I enjoyed doing this show and tried to maintain all elements of the personality of the subjects while showing them in their natural settings." While the portraits were all taken earlier this year, with most being photographed in the Morehead area, Shindelbower said the idea originated from a photography bookmaking course he took while a student at Ohio University in 1983. Once the concept was formed, the photographer believes that watching television provided some reinforcement. "Influence came from the Duracell commercial, Saturday Night Live, the Muppet Show and programs of this type," he said. For his portraits, Shindelbower used toys he has retained from his childhood as well as found items he bought at flea markets. Shindelbower received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography from Ohio University. He has worked as a custom color printer for Stone Photography in Lexington and a staff photographer for the Richmond Register newspaper. A native of Madison County, Shindelbower is the son of Dan and Pauline Shindelbower of Richmond. He and his wife Suzanne live in Morehead. The gallery hours are 8 a.m.-4 p.m., weekdays.

Brereton Jones' announcement of a $542,000 grant for the acquisition and renovation of the old Union Grocery building. The funds are part of the state's share of federal enhancement dollars through the Intermodal Smjace Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and represent 80 percent of ' ·, the project cost. The remaining 20 percent ($135,600) will come from local support. ISTEA funding for another community project complementing the Folk Art Center also was announced by the governor during a Sept. 23 news conference held on the current site of MSU's Folk Art Center. Accompanying the governor was Secretary of Education and Humanities Sherry Jelsma. The Morehead/Rowan County Economic Development Council, Rowan County Fiscal Court, the Moreliead/Rowan County Chamber of Commerce. and the Tourism Commission will receive $80,000 to restore the old CSX Passenger Depot, built in 1904, to its original state. The depot not only will serve as a visitor and historical information center but also house the --, Chamber and Economic Development Council. . Located on First Street along the recently completed bypass, the two buildings which date back to the ear~y 1900s will be the focal points of what MSU, city and county officials envision as the development of an area housing galleries, arts and crafts shops, and restaurants. Once renovated, the former Union Grocery building will serve as a Folk Art Center, presenting folk art as an important expression of regional culture through both exhibitions and educational programs. The center will contribute to economic development through increased tourism in the region. "It is vital that Eastern Kentucky build upon its own rich heritage and recognize the contributions to the arts both regionally and nationally, while reminding the people of Appalachia of their value," .said MSU President Ronald G. Eaglin. "The Folk Art Center will serve to remind the people of Appalachia of their value, he added.

He added that he envisioned similar projects "throughout the highways and byways of Eastern Kentucky, creating a cultural trail where tourists can learn of our heritage and culture. "I believe that with creativity and determination, we can develop tourist centers throughout Eastern Kentucky that will bring tour buses and regular tourists to learn of our culture and also to spend their dollars," the president said. In addition to the two Rowan County projects, the governor also announced the approval of grants to Ashland for conversion of the old CSX Railroad Deport to a transportation center ($284,000); to the Mason County Fiscal Court for the restoration of the Albert Sidney Johnston House ($38,000); to Ewing for completion of the restoration of the Ewing railroad station ($32,000), and to the Bracken Fiscal Court for the acquisition of land for a roadside park and welcoming/visitors center ($52,000). #### I T.

WMKY will begin airing a 13-week series, "Brass America," on Sundays at 2 p.m., beginning Oct. 3. The series, featuring highlights from live recordings done at the 3rd and 4th annual Great American Brass Band Festivals in Danville, was the brainchild of WMKY staff member Paul Hitchcock. "I believe that brass band music bridges the gap between all genres of music," said Hitchcock, WMKY music and traffic director. "The Great American Brass Band Festival is a cooperative effort among Centre College, the Danville Advocate and many Boyle County businesses. "The festival has been featured on National Public Radio and KET. I saw MSU's involvement in producing this series as twofold," Hitchcock said. "First it is an opportUnity to expose our listeners to a unique style of music. And, secondly, it promotes a festival that recreates the old fashioned fun of weekend performances by a local brass band," Hitchcock said. The series will feature such notable groups as the California-based Gold Rush Brass Band and Danville's own Advocate Brass Band with Dr. Earle Louder, MSU professor of music and internationally-known euphonium artist, along with renowned trumpeter Vince DeMartino. Also to be heard will be the Naperville Municipal Band, the Dallas Brass Band, the Bluegrass Brass Band and, one of the premier New Orleans groups, Dejan's Olympia Brass Band. "A lot of the credit for this popular festival goes to George Foreman, director of Danville's Norton Center for the Arts," Hitchcock said. ·"Not only was the festival his idea, but he also is the conductor for the Advocate Brass Band." Additional information on WMKY's series, "Brass America," is available by calling Hitchcock at (606) 783-2001. #### ------IN_S_T_IT_U_T_IO_N_A_L_R_E_LA_T_IO_N__ S Photo JUDITH YANCY, DIRECTOR MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY UPO BOX 1100 MOREHEAD, KY 40351-1689 606-783-2030 CLINTONS MEET KENTUCKY GOVERNOR Gilbert and Marie Clinton of Cape Girardeau recently had an opportunity to meet Kentucky Gov.

The MSU Department of Music will present a special program, "A Tribute to Clyde McCoy," under the direction of the late bandleader's nephew, Johnny McCoy, in Duncan Recital Hall, beginning at 8 p.m. In a special ceremony at intermission, Johnny McCoy, acting on the family's behalf, will present the MSU Foundation with the band's library of original sheet music for all of the Clyde McCoy arrangements. Accepting the gift will be MSU President Ronald G. Eaglin. The music scores will be used as an educational tool for students in the Department of Music. The actual materials, valued at more than $50,000, will be housed in the Camden-Carroll Library's Archives. For more than five decades, McCoy reigned over ballrooms and concert halls. A native of Greenup County, he is best remembered for his own style of trumpet playing known as the "Wah-Wah" sound. McCoy, who died in 1990, won national fame for his recording of "Sugar Blues" in 1935 which eventually sold more than 14 million copies and became one of the biggest hits of the era. In 1937, the Bennett Sisters joined his orchestra, and the group's lead singer later became McCoy's wife. When the U.S. entered World War II, McCoy took his entire orchestra into the Special Service with the Navy. After the war, the big band regained its popularity in the ballroom which continued through the 1950s. It was during the post-war period that McCoy's nephew Johnny joined the orchestra as a fellow trumpeter. Johnny, who now lives in Seffner, Fla., left his uncle's band in 1956, and was a jazz musician with other well-known groups, such as the Tommy Dorsey Band, before branching out on his own. The elder McCoy retired in the late '70s but continued to make cameo appearances with Johnny's orchestra until the mid-1980's. (MORE) McCoy 2-2-2-2-2 Also making a guest appearance will be David Howe, current leader of the Octopus Octet.
