2 '79 OUTLOOK For Morehead State University Head Football Coach Tom Lichtenberg, 1979 should be a very interesting season. The Eagles return 37 lettermen from last year's squad, but must replace some players at key positions. "Our players worked very hard in the spring to learn our system," Lichtenberg stated.

The Stadium

Jayne Stadium, the lighted 10,000-seat home of the Eagles, was constructed in 1964 to replace the 3,500-seat facility which formerly stood on the present site of the Laughlin Health Building. An eight-lane, grasstex running track surrounds the Bermuda grass playing field. The quarter-mile oval was inaugurated in the spring of 1965 as the site of the ave Spring Championships. The ave meet returned to MSU in 1973. Dressing rooms, concession areas, restrooms, the football offices, a conference room and equipment storage rooms are located beneath the west grandstand. Additional dressing rooms, concession and restroom facilities are under the east grandstand. Fans are admitted through five gates, all on the west side, and public parking is permitted south and west of the stadium. A restricted parking lot for University officials and guests is located in the stadium's northwest corner. Atop the west grandstand is a three-tiered press box which provides facilities for up to 30 writers and statisticians, five radio stations and four film crews.

10 HEAD COACH Tom Lichtenberg

He continued: "After seeing spring drills, I have to say that we are a 'sometimes' team. Sometimes we get the job done and sometimes we don't. If we can develop consistency through repetition in the fall, we should have a good year." Lichtenberg is also enthusiastic about the Ohio Valley Confer­ ence. "It's really tough each week to go up against the likes of Eastern and Western and Tennessee Tech. People don't realize how tough the OVC is. I feel there are people here who could play at Iowa State, and I know there is talent at all the other OVC schools'." The Eagle field boss, active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is married to the former Sue Ann Reding of Mayfield. They have five children.

Tom Lichtenberg is no stranger to Morehead State University. During the 1972 and 1973 seasons, Lichtenberg served as an MSU assistant under Roy Terry. After a five-year tenure at Iowa State he has returned to assume the football coaching duties this season. The 38-year-old is a graduate of the University of Louisville and has previously had head coaching positions at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio, and at Purcell High School in Cincinnati. During his five seasons at Iowa State he served in various capacities, including offensive coordinator for the Big-8's repre­ sentative to the Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. "I would't have come back here if I didn't have a love for Morehead State University. I know the people here want a football program, and when you want a football program, you want a winner. They didn't hire me to lose." Lichtenberg feels that the energy of him and his staff will be a tremendous plus. "I've never been outworked by anyone. We'll probably make a few mistakes along the way, but we'll work hard to correct them. With the cooperation we are going to get, we might be on top of things sooner than people think." Lichtenberg is optimistic about the upcoming season. "1 don't know what length of time it will take to win, but I believe that the athletes we have here now are good enough to win.

The Nickname It was in the fall of 1926 when J . M. Clayton, a Mo rehead businessman, announced he woulci sponsor a coniest to select a nickname for the athletic teams at the town's new state co llege. Miss Peaches Ellis, now Mrs. Jack Cecil of Morehead, submitted "Bald Eagles" as a name suggestio11 and won the S10 first prize. "Bald Eagles" was used for a few years but it eventual Iy gave way to just "Eagles" for the sake of convenience. OHIQ VALLEY CONFERENCE A painting of the Morehead State University Bald Eagle was' commissioned in 1970 and more than $30,000 worth of prints have been sold to finance scholar­ ships. A popular attraction at home football and basketball games is the "MSU Fighting Eagle," a man-sized mascot resplendent in a colorful and detailed costume.

In 1948 five schools - Morehead State, Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State, and Louisville - withdrew from the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Co nference (KIAC) and were joined by Evansvil le in forming the original membership for the Ohio Valley Conference. They were joined shortly thereafter by Tennessee Tech and Marshall. The membership has changed over the years. Middle Tennessee joined the league in 1952, East Tennessee in 19 57 and Austin Peay in 1962. Louisville became an independent in 1949 and Marshall and Evansville departed in 1952. Most recently, East Tennessee withdrew being replaced by the University of Akron. In 1955 the National Collegiate Athletic Association formally recognized the OVC as a major basket ball conference, giving the league's champion an automatic bid to the post-season NCAA Tournament. At the time, the OVC was only the second six-team conference to obtain major status from the NCAA. For many years the OVC has been represented in the nation's top holiday and post-season basketball tournaments. The league has also won recognition for its football program, having had representatives in such post-season classics for college d ivision teams as the Refrigerator Bowl, the Tangerine Bowl and the Grantland Rice Bowl. OVC champions have also been prominent in national minor sports tournaments in recent years, evidencing the strength of its programs in baseball, track, golf, tennis and cross country. J ames Delaney, former NCAA investigator and a graduate of the Un iversity of North Carolina, is the league commissioner. Delaney, who operates the conference office in Nashville, Tenn., is the fourth commissioner in the OVC's 3 1-year history.

mil lion are under way or in the planning stages. In recent years, Morehead State's im­ aginative yet practical building program has produced a series of design awards from the Kentucky Society of Architects. Dominating MSU's campus skyline are the two tallest occupied structures in Eastern Kentucky, 19-story Cartmell Hall and 16-story Mignon Tower. Academically, the University is com­ prised of six schools-Social Sciences, Education, Applied Sciences a nd Tech­ nology, Humanities, Sciences and Mathe· matics, and Business and Economics. They offer 145 programs of study from the associate degree through a joint doctoral degree. Almost 50 per cent of the faculty holds earned doctorates.

Administratively, the University operates under a 10-member Board of Regents with eight citizens appointed by the governor of Kentucky. T he two other seats are held by elected faculty and student representatives who hold full voting rights. The administrative structure consists primarily of four bureaus­ academic affairs, fiscal affairs, university and regional services and student affairs.

Dr. Morris L. Norfleet, who took office Jan. 1, 1977, is MSU's eighth president. A graduate of Purdue University and the Univers ity of Ken­ tucky, he joined the faculty and adminis­ trative staff in 1962 as d irector of student teaching.
