The quantity spea ks for itself. With an enrollment of nearly 14,000 students, the University's student body has more than trip led since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped academic structures have been built. Dr. J. C. Powell will be completing his third year as president of the University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr. Robert R. Martin who served EK U in that position for 16¼ years. At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and Technology, Business, Ed ucat ion, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and Nursing - remained intact. Four new colleges were created, includ ing College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social and Behavioria l Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics. The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A joint d octoral program in etlucation is sponso red in cooperation with the University of Kentucky. The physical plant has undergone building a nd renovation programs totaling more than $ 125 million since 1960. During this period every existing major campus facility has been remod eled o r completely reconstructed. Dr. J. C.

Extensive intramural programs are sponsored providing varied participation opportunities for all. These programs are an integral part of the total program and development of Eastern students. They offer experiences which contribute immeasurably to the health, vitality and preparation of young people as citizens and for their leadership contributions to the youth in the nation's schools and elsewhere. The School of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics offers a variety of degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The coaches of athletics are among the fifty seven full-time faculty members representing more than a score of the finest colleges and universities in the nation, required to produce academic, intramural and varsity athletic programs. The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities are used interchangeably for instruction and athletics as is the faculty. The School, which is organized under a single administrative unit, includes three academic departments under which there are seventeen undergraduate and graduate degree programs and intercollegiate athletics. This type organization contributes significantly to successful coord ination of the program, faculty and facilities for maximum contribution to the overall mission of the University. The School of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics (will be College of H PERA in fall of 1979) is headed by Dean Russell Bogue. Its three academic departments arc: School and Public Health, chaired by Dr. Herman Bush; Recreation and Park Administration, chaired by Dr. James McChesney; Physical Education, chaired by Dr. Fred Darling. The School's program of intercollegiate athletics is administered by Athletic Director, Mr. Donald G. Combs, and Assistant Athletic Director, Dr. Martha Mullins. Through its departments, the School offers six baccalaureate degree programs and four two-year associate of arts curricula for undergraduate students. At the graduate level seven graduate degree programs within the Masters of Arts in Education, the Master of Science, and the Specia list in Education • degrees are offered. Rank 11 and Rank l teacher certification programs and other certification and endorsement programs are offered. T he School also serves EK U's general education program t hrough required physical education and health classes for freshmen and sophomores. Enrolled in the School's academic programs are some 1,300 majors, includ ing more tha n 500 graduate students. To serve this large enrollment, the School boasts a full-time faculty of 57, including 25 members with the earned doctorate. Thirty-five grad uate assistants perform teaching and other services. A balanced athletic program, intramural, sportS clubs and intercollegiate, is provided by the School. Intram ural and sports clubs' programs arc sponsored through the physical education department by intramural directo rs. Compet ition in numerous sports, including softball, flag football, soccer, racquetball, bowling, volleyball, table tennis, track , basketball and field hockey provide physical outlets for EK U students.

Included in the structure are three gymnasiums, 12 handball courts, 36 classrooms, 60 offices and the dressing facilities for physical education and football. A training area includes two exercise and weight-lifting rooms, a steam room and a large therapy tank. A seminar room and reception area are located on the second level of the building. Offices on this level have been accoustically treated to absorb sound from the open-top athletic area. The "Thomas E. McDonough Intramural Fields," which boasts 10 football fields, two of which are varsity practice fields and another two which are large enough for soccer play, are in use. In season, eight softball fields may be superi mposed on the foot ball layouts. The Glenn Pres nell Building houses football locker and shower rooms, a t ra ining room, rest rooms and storage, office· and lecture areas.

Recently dedicated is the new Greg Adams indoor tennis facility. It became available fo r use in the fall of 1976. It constitutes the fifth building on campus devoted to housing the activities o f the School of HPERA. �CONFERENCE AFFILIATIONS • In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters speculated about the impending division of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of time until the division took place and a new athletic conference was formed. Then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and America was plunged into World War 11. Seven years later, after the hostilities had ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war reality. The "Big Five" of the K.I.A.C. withdrew to form the Ohio Valley Conference. Making the move were Western Kentucky State College, Eastern Kentucky State College, Murray State College, Morehead State College and the University of Louisville. They were joined by Evansville College and, shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and Marshall College. Purpose of the O.V.C., as set forth in its constitution, is "to regulate, control and promote all the recognized branches of intercollegiate athletics in institutions represented." Through a gradual process, the Ohio Valley Conference was to become a league of Kentucky and Tennessee state colleges. Middle Tennessee State College joined the rolls in 1952, East Tennessee State University in 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the spring of 1962. They replaced Louisville, which became an· independent in 1949, and Marshall and Evansville, which departed in 1952. Akron was added to the conference last year, replacing East Tennessee who joined the Southern Conference. University of Akron's Zips became the eighth member of the Ohio Valley Conference on July I, 1978. Eastern's women's teams are members of the 19-school Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference. KWIC is the official athletic conference for all recognized women's collegiate programs in Kentucky. K WIC conducts state tournaments for college-women in basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track a nd field and volleyball and is the recognized affiliate of the national o rganization, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIA W). Eastern also competes against other OVC schools in a regular season schedule in basketball and a post-season tournament in tennis. 6 Eastern ranks first in the conference's alltime standings with a 115-76-7 won-lost record. The Colonels have won five regular season titles o utright (in '54, '67, '68, '74, and '76) and shared one title in 1962. Eastern a lso won the NCAA Mideast Regional championship in 1967. Annually, the OVC presents an All-Sports Trophy for over-all excellence in the entire athletic program.

He succeeded Bob Vanatta on July I as the OVC's fourth commissioner after being among five applicants considered for the post. The Succasunna, New Jersey native becomes the youngest commissioner to serve the conference. The other OVC commissioners prior to Vanatta were Arthur Guepe and Paul Dietzel. Dela ny is a 1970 graduate of the University of North Carolina where he played basketball for coach Dean Smith's Tarheels from 1967-70 and served as co-captain on the 1969-70 squad. Following graduation Delany entered the UNC Law School and served as an assistant coach under Smith. He received his law degree in 1973 before joining the NCAA staff. �the coaches �Roy Kidd, who begins his 16th year at the h elm of the Colonels' football team, gives an anxious look lasl year on the sidelines in a conies! at Hanger Field.

It was a season which saw his team encounter Western in a regional television contest on the ABC network and a year in which the Colonels again led the league in total offense and points scored. But perhaps, most importantly o f all, I978 was t he year the Eastern Colonels presented Kidd, who will be beginning his 16th year at EKU this fall, with his 100th collegiate coaching victory. This particular win came in the season's finale, a 30-0 romp over Mo re head State, and enabled the Colonels to tie the school record for most wins in a season for the eleventh time in history. Eastern finished 8-2 overall. Kidd believes prospects for another good season are promising as he tries to recapture the Ohio Valley Conference title and a berth in the NCAA's Division I-AA playoffs. "We're going to have a fine football team if we can stay healthy," Kidd said. "We cou ld even be a better team than last year. However, with the schedule we're playing, it might mean we will not have as good a won-lost record." During these past 15 years, Eastern has captured four OVC championships, had an unbeaten string of I 5 games in the league and won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Regional Championship (covering more than I00teams in a IO-state area) by defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland Rice Bowl.

He was voted South East Kentucky Conference Coach of the Year last yea r while gu idi ng his team to a 9-3 record. 12 ��1979 EKU FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS • As certain as the leaves turn brown each fall , the folks at Eastern Kentucky University expect another winning football season from coach Roy Kidd's Colonels. With 38 lettermen returning from last year's team that finished 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference there appears to be good reason for such lofty expectations in 1979. However, the Colonels may be hardpressed to equal their 1978 performance as t hey face a strong I I-game schedule, called by Kidd, "the toughest we have ever had." "We could possibly have a better team personnel-wise this season, but from the looks of these teams on the schedule, our record might not be as good as in '78," said Kidd, who begins his 16th year at the Colonels' helm with a 100-48-6 coaching mark. Highlighting the 1979 schedule are home dates with 1978 Division I-AA playoff semifinalist Jackson State; D ivision I foe California State-Fullerton; Division II powerhouse Troy State; and the traditional homecoming battle with arch-rival Western Kentucky. It was Western that handed the Colonels their only OVC setback last year, 17-16, in an ABC-TV regional game of the week. If there is a question mark about this squad, Kidd feels it would have to be the lack of experienced depth at the runningback and offensive line positions. Gone at those positions from last year's team are All-OVC selections Stan Mitchell, tailback, and offensive guard Dean Stucky. Another key position that Kidd must fill is one of the defensive end slots left vacant by Chris Roberts, another All-OVC performer. Otherwise the EK U fortunes a ppear strong as a legion of fleet-footed receivers return along with a tested quarterback, All-OVC fullback and kicking specialist, and an experienced defensive line and secondary to lead the Colonels in their effort to capture their first OVC title since 1976. "General" Dale Patton, a junior fullback from Cincinnati, Jed the Colonels' ground a ttack last year as he rushed for 985 yards on 206 carries and reached enemy paydirt I5 times for touchdowns. Also expected to share the running load are junior tailback Bruce Cox, of Miami, Fla., who has been hampered by injuries during his E K U career, and junior fullbac k Alvin Miller, Ft. Pierce, Fla. Returning for his senior year at quarterback is Bill Hughes, of Lancaster, Ohio, who took command of the Colonels' offense last season after serving as understudy for two years to All-OVC selection Ernie House. Hughes accounted for 1,039 total yards offense and passed for five touchdowns. H is accurate passing (47 for 89, a .528 percentage) proved a perfect compliment for Eastern's strong ground game. Waiting in the wings at quarterback is sophomore Chris Isaac, New Smyrna Beach, Fla., who saw considerable action last year and executes the option play with precision. On the receiving end of those Hughes and Isaac aerials will be split ends David Booze and Jerry Parrish, flanker Rick Sang, of Ashland, and tight ends Carl Greene, Cincinnati, and Cris Curtis. Booze, of St. Petersburg, Fla., led Eastern's receivers last year with 18 catches for 406 yards and four TDs. Kidd says Parrish, of Auburndale, Fla. , is the fastest player he has ever had at Eastern. Last year, as a freshman, Parrish caught I I passes for 192 yards and one touchdown while showing he can break a long play at any time. Curtis, from Titusville, Fla. , had 133 yards o n eight catches. Eastern's kicking game could be considered second to none in the OVC with junior placekicker and second team All-OVC pick David Flores, of Cincinnati, coming back along with punter Joel Scrafton of Marion, Ind. Flores set an Eastern team record for most points by a kicker with 59 as he converted 32 of 33 extra points and hit 9 of 14 field goal attempts. Scrafton missed the second half of last season with a broken arm suffered in the Western game, but he is expected to be fully recovered to resume the punting duties. At the time of his injury he had averaged 42.5 yards on 22 kicks. Leading the offensive line will be senior center David Neal of Lexington, an All-OVC selection last year. 14 �Junior tackle James Shelton and senior linebacker Bob Mclnt vrc will also be back on the Colonel defense. ·whi le 4uarterback Bill Hughes will be back to call signals for his sen ,or season. Losses due to graduation include th ree AIIOVC selections. offensive guard Dean Stucky and defensive end Chris Roberts. both fi rst team selections: and tailback Stan Mitchell. off the second team . Coach Roy Kidd. beginning his 16th yea r at the Colond hel m. is optimistic and feels the Colonels "ill be in t he thick of the OVC race this t imc around. 1979 Colonels A CAPSULE ANALYSIS Offense - !- Pro-Set.

The challenge is even more demanding when its pointed out that Kent State is the only Mid-American Conference team that will not return an all-conference performer. "We have to find the individuals who can play MAC competition," Blackledge said. "We have a lot of faces that have not yet been tested. This will be the experimental stage." Despite the influx of several new starters, the second-year field boss is pleased with the return of 31 lettermen, 19 of whom have starting experience. The comeback of such key performers as halfback Mike McQueen and linebacker Ben Batton from '78 knee injuries is also hoped for.

The quarterback, runningback and wide receiver positions are well-stocked with veterans abounding who have good, solid experience. The problem areas are primarily in the offensive and defensive lines where there is some experience but a notable lack of size and quickness is evident. The top candidate for all-star honors will be senior quarterback Mark Hutsell who finished last season as the No. 8 total offense leader in the nation. He completed 171 of 294 passes for 2,160 yards, 14 touchdowns and 15.5 completions per game. In total offense, he accounted for 2,318 yards which averaged out to 2 IO. 7 yards per game.

Known for a tough defense last year, Austin Peay ranked second in total defense stats, but finished a dismal sixth in the total offense category. A key in helping the Govs return the form that led them to an OVC championship in 1977 will be the offensive backfield. Four-year starter Randy Christophel is gone at quarterback, a nd senior Steve Brewer and juco transfer Sonny Defillips loom as most likely heirs apparent. Leading rusher Donald Brown is back at running back along with Craig Woods. Steve Puthoff, with 30 catches last season, returns at wide receiver, while center Stan Burns will return to anchor the offensive line. All-OVC performers Joe Grimsley and Lynn Hailstock will pick up the slack in the defensive backfield, which is minus All-American free safety Mike Betts.

Offensively, Donnelly feels that his quarterback situation is sta ble with 1978 starter Duane West back for his sophomore season. West is being pushed by transfer Gus Purvis, son of former MTSU great Ray Purvis.

Cal State-Fullerton finished strongly last season, winning four of their last six games, to garner a fourth place finish in the PCAA, their highest ever. One of the main problems for Colletto is how to replace fullback Obie Graves. Graves rushed for 1,789 yards last year, the fourth highest total in NCAA history, and was named to the third team All-American Squad by the Associated Press. Gone along with Graves are other offensive backfield stalwarts, tailback Mike Martin and quarterback Dale Bunn. Leading returnees for the Titans include linebacker John Bungartz and offensive guard Mike McC!inton, both All-PCAA sel~ctio ns last year. Coach Colletto will also rely on several transfer athletes to fill graduation gaps.

"We're building the program one block at a time and our goal in 1979 is a winning season," said Gottfried as he readies fo r his second year with the Racers. "We are still young with j ust four seniors on the roster, so there is much about our team that remains a question mark." Top returnee for the Racers is Danny Lee Johnson, a 205-pound junior tailback who earned OVC Offensive Player of the Year honors last year with 1,217 yards rushing which ranked him sixth in Division I-AA statistics. Gottfried a lso has high hopes for 6-4, 215-pound fullback Greg Whetsel, a talented Ohio prep star who transferred to Murray after one season at Nebraska.

Of these returning lettermen, 18 are on defense, 20 are on offense and two are specialists. Nine starters are back on defense, Jed by All-OVC second-teamers Ronnie Dyer at end, Roddna Rockymore at tackle and Greg Bauer at cornerback. "We're excited about our defense. We have a great deal of experience at every position. We may not be the biggest team around, but I think we will play with intelligence and desire and have a pretty good defensive football team," Wade said. Based on the large number of returnees, plus a good recruiting year, Wade is optimistic about 1979. "We have a lot of experience and we believe we've added some outstanding freshmen and junior college transfers. If we can avoid another epidemic of injuries, I believe we can be a good football team," Wade said. 1979 SCHEDULE Sept. 8 at Western Carolina Sept. 15 CAMERON UNIV.

C. Gorden faces somewhat of a rebuilding job, especially on defense where the Tigers will be minus All-American tackle Robert Hardy. JS U is also minus its entire starting defensive backfield and two linebackers from the 1978 unit. On offense, Gorden will welcome one of his two 1,000-yard rushers, halfback Perry Harrington who scampered for I, I05 yards and 14 TD's during the regular season. He also had an impressive 8.4 yards per game average, while rushing for IO touchdowns of 19 yards or more last year. Sophomore Keith Taylor will handle the quarterback duties. If the Tigers are to match their I 0-2 record of '78, they must also compensate in their offensive backfield for the graduated Jeffrey Moore who rushed for 1,205 yards.

Go ne is Phil Simms, a three-year starter at quarterback, who was na med the OVC "Player of the Year" as a junio r a nd who was drafted in the first round of the NF L draft by the New York Giants. As possible heir to the position, Lichtenberg must choose between last year's two backups, senio r Tommy Fox and freshman Greg Hall. Also in the picture will be converted wide receiver Doug J oiner and defensive safety Ken Hopkins. Strengths on the team, which was 2-6-1 last season, should be senio r linebackers Rod ney J efferson, 5-11 , 195 and Tommy Wa rren, 6-3, 2 15.

They will encounter one of the toughest schedules ever put together. The EKU Invitational will draw teams from seven states and include teams with top AJA W national titles. Kentucky volleyball has advanced to a point where both representatives took winner and runner-up titles in the AJA W Regionals. In-state competition will afford no relief from the tough schedule. Senior setter Nancy Wingate will lead the team's offense. Her experience and sound judgement will contribute stability to the young team. The success of the offense will depend upon Nancy's ability to free her hitters enabling them to spike one on one against the opponent's block. The 1979 Eastern team will be a power attack team and will be led by junior Sharon Walker and sophomo re Laurie Briggs and Nancy Stoeckle. Strong defensive leadership will come from senior Sharon Renners and sophomore Kay Bieger. A consistent and determined effort will be necessary to achieve this season's goals. TOP RETURNEES Nancy Stoeckle - 1978 KWIC All Star Team. Received the set more times than any member of the team ( 1780) for a 62% spiking average. Laurie Briggs - Holds the record for the highest spiking average in a single match with a 94% against George Washington College. Nancy Wingate - Played no com petitive high school volleyball. She will be the team's leading setter. Nancy has played backup setter for three years and is well prepared for her new assignment. Brenda Magee - Played no competitive high school volleyball. She reads the opponents attack, as the middle blocker, better than any member of the team. She has been an outstanding middle blocker throughout her two years of college play.
