A donation by the Roland Corporation puts dozens of pieces of new, top-of-the-line equipment in the hands of WSU students.
By Rikki King Daily Evergreen staff Senior Kaleo Keanu cannot wait to get his hands on the shiny new B3 organ sitting in Gregory Yasinitsky‘s office. “It’s going to be awesome,” Keanu said. “I’d love to play with an electric B3.” Until he can get his hands on it, the organ is accompanied by dozens of new, state-of- the-art musical instruments and equipment donated to the WSU School of Music and Theatre Arts by the Roland Corp. Mark Malbon, a 1977 WSU alumnus, is Roland’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. Earlier this year, Malbon called the music department and requested a wish list of items.

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2007 Sports PAGE 7 The Sideline [email protected] Daugherty to replace Murrell at the helm The WSU women’s basketball team will introduce its new head coach during a 1:30 p.m. news conference today. Recently fired Washington head coach June Daugherty will replace Sherri Murrell, who stepped down as WSU head coach on April 5. Daugherty, who spent the past 11 years at UW, registered nine winning seasons and six NCAA Tournament appearances during her time as a Husky. Daugherty was fired from UW for not bringing enough exposure to the program and an inability to bring in heralded in-state recruits. During her 11-year tenure at UW, she registered 191 victories. The 50-year-old coach visited Pullman on Monday to check out the campus and meet with some of the Cougar players. Daugherty will look to turn around a Cougar program that hasn’t had a winning season in more than a decade. German Boeke signs with basketball team
