Morehead State University President Adron Doran, the dean of Kentucky coll ege presidents, is a graduate of three institutions of higher learning and all have recognized him as a "Distinguished Alumnus". Freed-Hardeman Coll ege bestowed the honor this spring, following Murray State University, where he earned his bachel or's and master's degrees, and the University of Kentucky, site of his doctoral· study. But honors are not new to the. s'eventh president of MSU and the man who has served it longer than any ot her+-'now well into his 20th year. It was the spring of 1971 when Dr. Doran, a native of Graves County, Ky., joined a select group of about 200 Americans chosen as recipients of Horatio Alger Awards.

Horatio Alger Awards are sponsored by the American Schools and Colleges Association, a non-profit corporation committed to education and American traditio ns of equality of opportunity, industry and achievement.

The MSU Marching Band, Kentucky's largest university band, features more than 200 bandsmen and 24 lovely Eaglettes. It is directed by Dr. Robert Hawkins. Gene Norden and Robert Schietroma are associate conductors. Selected as Kentucky's representative in President Nixon's Second Inaugural Parade, the band also performed during Gov. Wendell Ford's Inauguration in 1971. A current television commercial for Army ROTC features MSU's " Fight Song" played by the MSU Marching Band on campus. In addition to MSU 's five home games, the band will appear in the Ashland Shrine Game on Sept. 8 and at the Cincinnati Bengals-New York Jets game on Nov. 18 in Cincinnati's River­ front Stadium. Ron Bryan, a senior from Glendale, Ky., is returning for his fourth year as drum major. Appearing as the "Fightin' Eagle" is Mike Beverly, a Wise, Va. junior. 31 THE RECORD BOOK

David (Hoss) Rhodes

The Morehead State University campus community was saddened June 11 by the death of David (Hoss) Rhodes, a senior football player from Fremont, Ohio. The 22-year-old offensive tackle was killed when his car ran off Ky. 32 and struck a hillside in rural Fleming County. Rhodes, who was returning to MSU for summer school, was a former standout at Fremont Ross High School. He earned two varsity letters at MSU and was expected to bid for a starting position this fall. He was the son of Donald L. Rhodes of Fremont. His jersey number, 78, will not be worn this season as MSU's tribute to his memory. 1973 SCHEDULE SEPTEMBER 8 Central State 8:00 EDT SEPTEMBER l5 at Marshall 7:30 EDT SEPTEMBER 22 MIDDLE TENNESSEE* 7:30 EDT SEPTEMBER 29 at Murray State* 7:30 CDT OCTOBER 6 AUSTIN PEAY* 2:30 EDT (Homecoming) OCTOBER 13 FAIRMONT STATE 2:00 EDT OCTOBER 20 at Tennessee Tech* 1:30 CDT OCTOBER 27 at Western Kentucky* 1:00 CDT NOVEMBER 3 EAST TENNESSEE* 2:00 EST NOVEMBER 10 at Carson-Newman 2:00 EST NOVEMBER 17 EASTERN KENTUCKY* 2:00 EST *Ohio Valley Conference Games
