J 3 �The University astern Kentucky University is a regional coeducational public institution of higher education offering general and liberal arts programs, pre-professional and professional training in education and various other fields at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Located in Richmond, Kentucky, Eastern has a distinguished record of more than seven decades of educational service to the Commonwealth'. Eastern was established in 1906. The campus of the old Central University, founded in 1874, was selected the site of the new school. In 1922, Eastern became a four-year institution known as the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College. In 1935, a graduate program was approved at Eastern, leading to the Master of Arts in Education. In 1948, the General Assembly removed the word "Teachers" from the name of the College and granted the College the right to award non-professional degrees. The most significant day since its founding came for Eastern February 26, 1966, when Governor Edward T. Breathitt signed into law a bill renaming the institution E 4 Eastern Kentucky University and sanctioning the awarding of graduate degrees in academic fie lds other than education. Ever-mindful of the purpose of its founding , Eastern continues to recognize its historic function of preparing quality teachers for the elementary and secondary schools of the Commonwealth. However, a strong liberal arts curriculum leading to appropriate degrees, together with pre-professiona l courses in several areas and graduate programs, enable Eastern to uniquely serve the Commonwealth as a regional university. Eastern Kentucky University �Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk EKU's Eighth President r. H . Hanly Funderburk, Jr., is now in his second academic year as eighth president of Eastern Kentucky University. He was unanimously elected by the EKU Board of Regents in November, 1984 to succeed Dr. J .C. Powell as president and assumed office Jan. 1, 1985.

Dr. Funderburk 's background in many ways parallels that of many other of Eastern Kentucky University's founders - modest beginnings as a farm boy, earning his educ ation , military service , a welcomer of responsibility , enthusiastic, impatient of mediocrity . A native of Carrollton, Alabama, President Funderburk earned the bachelor of science degree in agricultural science from Auburn University, working on a family farm each summer between terms.

Prior to his post at Auburn , Dr. Funderburk served as chancellor of Auburn University at Montgomery, a regional un_iversity that serves south central Alabama. The 500-acre campus and its twenty million dollar physical plant was developed during his tenure there and today stands as a testimonial to his administrative and leadership ability. On his philosophy concerning the role of intercol legiate athletics, Dr. Funderburk says, " I believe that a reasonable program of intercollegiate athletics , operated in an ethical , rational manner is an important part of an institution of higher education. We must not lose sight of the fact that academics are our primary purpose, and we must remember that participants on our teams are student-athletes. It is also imperative that intercollegiate ath letics be conducted on a very high level of integrity. "Within this framework , I believe that athletics have a real ro le to play in the educational experience . A sound , competit ive program of athletics p rovides a ra llying point for an institution 's alumni and can be of benefit to the other, more fundamenta l, purposes of a university.

"Student athletes have very special needs. They have to meet constant demands on their mental and physical being. They are continually striving to be the best on the playing field as well as in the classroom. My job enables me to assist and encourage them toward these goals. I become their "coach" in the academic arena." Working closely with administrators, coaches, faculty, graduate assistants, and tutors, Hopkins coordinates an evening study table for student-athletes; arranges tutoring and study groups; conducts workshops on such topics as time management and study skills; provides individual counseling and referral for academic, personal , and career concerns; teaches a specialized academic orientation course for ~·treshmen athletes; and advises students about their academic requirements and progress.

Cox Head Coach W hen the head coaching position became vacant last summer, Eastern Kentucky University's search committee went looking for a proven coach that has built winning programs. They found just the person in George N. Cox, a Texas native, who has been unbelievably successful in his nine-year coaching career on both the high school and junior college levels in the Lone Star State. Cox is determined to instill a New Spirit and build a winning tradition for Lady Colonel basketball. Success has followed George Cox throughout life, be it in academics, coaching, or life in general. There are few better examples of the proverbial "All-American Boy" image than found in this friendly and outgoing Texan. As a student-athlete at Abilene Christian College, he was a four-year letterman on the football team and was active in campus life serving as vice president of the student association and the ACC rodeo club. His personality and concern for fellow students were key factors in his selection as Mr. Abilene Christian College runner-up in 1969 and Class Favorite in both 1966 and 1969. He graduated from ACC in 1969 and later earned his Texas teaching certification and master's degree in education from West Texas State University in 1977. mentor lists recruiting as his EKU's first-year strength and calls himself a Christian coach who believes strongly in honesty, integrity, and hard work, and is also realistic enough to believe nothing really great or worthwhile can be built without deep commitment, unity, and everyone giving their best all of the time. Cox's coaching days began as a football coach in 1969. After achieving success as coach of that sport, he became the girl's high school basketball coach in 1977 at Nazareth, TX. In one year at that school, his team won 40 and lost 4 enroute to the Texas Class B state championship. From there, Cox moved on to Carthage, 12 TX, where he led that school to a five year record of 14025 and a state runner-up trophy in 1982. He was honored that same year as the Texas Girl's High School Coach of the Year. In 1983, he was hired as the head coach at Tyler Junior College in Texas and during the next three years built one of the top JUCO programs for women's basketball in the nation.

George Cox, a proven winner on the high school and junior college coaching levels, was chosen in mid-August to succeed Dr. Dianne Murphy as EKU's sixth head coach. Murphy resigned the post in June after seven years at the helm. The 40-year-old Cox, a Texas native, is the first man to hold the Eastern head coaching position. His hiring resulted in immediate excitement from fans throughout the campus and community due in large measure to his remarkable nine-year coaching record of 266 wins and only 43 losses. During the past three seasons, Cox guided Tyler Junior College in the Lone Star State to an 86-14 record. In six years of high school coaching, the Abilene Christian College graduate compiled a 180-29 slate and led the 1977 Nazareth High School squad to the Texas Class B state championship. The return of six letterwinners who were starters at one time or another last season also gives reason for expectations of a better year than last season's 8-17 mark and last place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference. Youth and inexperience were the trademarks of the 1985-86 EKU team and youth will continue to be a characteristic of this year's squad. However, inexperience will not be used as an excuse this season because everyone got their time on the firing line last year. To show how young the A Lady Colonels will be in 1986-87, simply look at the roster. It reveals one senior, six juniors, four sophomores, and two freshmen. Leading the returnees is Carla Coffey, a 6-0, junior forward who averaged 12 points and a team-leading 8.2 rebounds last year. The Mt. Washington product started in all but one game as a sophomore. Also back is 5-7 guard Tina Reece, a sophomore from Austin, IN, who earned a starting position mid-way through her freshman year and averaged 10.3 points and 3.2 assists. Sondra Miller, a 5-8 junior guard from Hazard, also started in all but one game and averaged 5.9 points and 3.0 rebounds. Another part-time performer was Pam Taylor, a 5-11 sophomore center from Russell Springs, who showed flashes of brilliance as a raw freshman. She averaged 7.3 points and 6.1 rebounds and had individual game highs of 26 points and 16 rebounds. Karen Carrico, a 5-10 forward-guard from Bardstown , returns for her sophomore season and should be fully recovered from a severe ankle sprain that knocked her out of the starting lineup in early January. Still she managed to average 6.1 points and 4.9 rebounds. Newcomers include Tracy Korbutt, a 6-1 junior center, who transferred last year from Clemson University, junior college transfer Rebecca Chesnut, 5-3, from Champaign, 111., and freshman Regie Rattler from Louisville Butler High School and Tadgi DeBerg from Indiana state runner-up Scottsburg high school. 1~86-87' Lady Colonel N.umeric81 ·RosJer 16 Eastern Kentucky University ��Lois Buntyn Sr., 5-3, 123 lbs.

Just when she was beginning to make a major contribution in a starting role, a serious ankle injury suffered in the early minutes of the Nebraska game knocked her out of action for the next seven games. After returning from the injury, she was never able to regain her early season form that saw her average 7.8 points and 6.9 rebounds in the first nine games. Karen is the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Jean Carrico of Bardstown. Career Bests ... FGs Made, 7 vs. Cleveland State (12-6-85) ... FTs Made, 5 vs. Georgia State (11-2985) ...

Forward Lexington, KY (Lafayette H.S.) Major: Therapeutic Recreation T racey Underwood has been labeled as a player with unlimited potential in her first two seasons and that label still sticks. She was voted Most Improved Player after her freshman year and was expected to be a major factor as a sophomore, but never was able to perform with any consistency. Tracey is blessed with good jumping ability and has shown signs of being a strong college rebounder. Another positive trait is her lack of fear for playing inside against much bigger and stronger people. She seems to hold her own in the paint, but needs to be more scoring conscious to be a real asset this season. She is the daughter of Calvin and Barbara Underwood. Career Bests ...

Eastern Ke ntucky Unive rsit y �A Glimpse at EKU Basketball 45 �THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE he idea of forming the Ohio Valley Conference was originated in 1941 , but could not be implemented until after World War II. In 1948 five schools -Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Murray, Morehead, and Louisville - withdrew from the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and were joined by Evansville in forming the original membership of the OVC. They were joined shortly thereafter by Tennessee Tech and Marshall. The membership has changed somewhat over the years. Middle Tennessee joined the league in 1952, East Tennessee in 1957, and Austin Peay in 1962. They replaced Louisville, which became independent in 1949, and Marshall and Evansville, which departed in 1952. East Tennessee left in 1978 and was replaced by Akron, which began competition in 1980, and Youngstown joined the league race in 1981. Western Kentucky withdrew its membership at the conclusion of the 1981-82 athletic year. In 1955 the National Collegiate Athletic Association T 46 formally recognized the OVC as a major basketball 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. Prior to 1955, Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, and Murray were the only OVC members ranked as major basketball powers. In 1978, the OVC began football competition in the NCAA Division I-AA which offers a post-season championship playoff system. Eastern Kentucky captured the 1979 and 1982 national championship titles and has represented the OVC in two other championship games in 1980 and 1981, finishing in the runnersup slot those years. The administration of the conference is now supervised by James Delany, who formerly served on the staff of the NCAA. Delany is the OVC's fourth commissioner, following Art Guepe (1963-75) , Paul Dietzel (1975-76) , and Bob Vanatta (1976-79).
