Studies in American music, with an emphasis in jazz, began in earnest this fall, thanks to the generosity of Jacksonville­ based developer Ira Koger, who agreed to provide $600,000 over a five year period to underwrite UNF's third Eminent Scholar Chair. The Koger Eminent Scholar Chair in American Music received Florida Board of Regents approval based on Koger's commitment. When the $600,000 gift has been fully funded, it will be matched by $400,000 in encumbered state funds to activate the $1 million chair.

Matteson said all of the initial planning is geared toward ultimately offering a jazz major at UNF, culminating in a degree in jazz studies. In addition, he has plans to strengthen UNF's music education program so that current and future high school music teacher and band directors are better able to teach jazz ensemble and improvisation at the secondary level. Part of the plan in­ cludes adding brass instrument studies and a major in brass perfor­ mance. Matteson also voiced plans to conduct high school jazz band competition on the campus, as well as a summer jazz clinic.

that through ticket sales, our pro­ gram can begin to achieve self­ sufficiency. ' ' The "big" sports news at UNF these days is the Ospreys' entry into intercollegiate baseball. Prompted by an Osprey Club commitment to underwrite the cost of a $55,000 to $60,000 baseball complex, UNF has plans to field a team during the 1988 season. Jack ·'Dusty'' Rhodes, assis­ tant baseball coach at the University of Florida, was named the Osprey head coach in late August and will devote his time during the 1986 academic year to developing the pro­ gram and recruiting players, Healy said. "We are very pleased to have someone of Dusty's caliber to begin our baseball program;' Healy said. "He has a good reputation through­ out ...

Healy's athletic master plan was prompted by an initiative from Dr. Charles B. Reed, chancellor of the State University System of Florida. Concerned with growing college athletic scandals across the country, Reed ordered all nine SUS schools to .. perform thoughtful self-studies of their programs. Although motivated by the economics of big-time college sports, the self-study, as Reed wisely con­ ceived it, anticipated numerous other areas of concern - things like com­ parisons of the grade point averages of student-athletes with the regular student body, retention of athletes, progress toward degrees, academic counseling and assistance given to athletes, and any activity that might take advantage of the student as a athlete while jeopardizing his or her status as a student. According to Healy, the UNF athletics self-study committee worked the better part of four months, collec­ ting data and analyzing the program. The result, a 50-page document presented to Chancellor Reed in February, has become a program Head Baseball Coach Jack "Dusty" Rhodes guide in all aspects of sports ad­ ministration and the basis for pro­ the 1986-87 academic year. ticipates the team can win its first jected growth and financing.
