In recent years, Morehead State's imaginative yet practical building pro­ gram has produced a series of design awards from the Kentucky Society of Architects. Dominating MSU's campus skyline are the two tallest occupied struc­ tures in Eastern Kentucky, 19-story l Cartmell Hall and 16-story Mignon Tower. Academically, the University is comprised of six schools-Social Sciences, Education, Applied Sciences and 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. The 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 Univer­ sity and the University of Kentucky, he joined the faculty and administrative staff in 1962 as director of student teaching. Athletically, the University sponsors a full program of intercollegiate sports for men and women.

New prospects at tailback include Anthony (Bo) Dean (6-1, 170), Marcus Johnson (5-11, 185), and Bob Wood (5-11, 170). Fullback possibilities include Phil Dorn (5-11, 205), and Alan Mitchell (6-1, 190) and Bernard McIntosh (5-9, 180). DEFENSIVE LINE - Tackles Tommy Day (6-4, 238) and Matt Blair (6-2, 230) are returning starters and will form the nucleus of the interior line. Ends Rich Yeager (6-1, 190) and Dean Cvitkovic (6-4, 220) both saw considerable action last season. Horace Boswell (6-0, 226) a linebacker last season, could open at noseguard. Players who could see action this season are tackles Kevin Balduf (6-2, 244), Tim Brewer (6-2, 230), and Tony Payne (6-5, 235). Ends include Tom Goldsberry (6-0, 191) and Boyd Hippenstiel (6-4, 200). LINEBACKERS - With starters Tommy Warren (6-3, 210) and Rodney Jefferson (5-11, 192) returning, this position appears to be a strong one. Also in the picture could be Mark Dikeman (6-4, 218), Marc Kessler (6-3, 216), Jay Shippey (5-11, 200), and Greg Whited (6-3, 196). DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD - Four starters return to make this a team strength. Henry Sykes (5-9, 170) and T. A. Spalding (6-2, 196) return at the corners, with Julius Combs (6-1, 190) at monster and Greg Bright (6-0, 202) at safety.
