Dr. Otis A. Singletary University of Kentucky President
Now in his ninth year as president of the University of Kentucky, DR. OTIS A. SINGLETARY is a Mississippian whose route to the Bluegrass State curled through Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and Washington, D. C.
He came to Lexington from a position as University of Texas vice-chancellor for academic affairs. Previously, in Washington, he had been director of the U. S. Job Corps in the early stages of its development before moving to the American Council on Education as vice-president. He had gone to the capital in 1964 after three years as chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
The UNC appointment terminated Dr. Singletary's first association with the University of Texas, this a seven-year stay that saw him, as a young historian, rise rapidly in rank from instructor to full professor and begin the shift to administrative work, first as associate dean and later as assistant to the president.
The Kentucky president, and his wife the former Gloria Walton, met when both were students at Millsaps College. He later earned master's and doctoral degrees at Louisiana State. The Single-tarys have two daughters, Bonnie and Kendall, and a son, Scott.
Cliff Hagan Director of Athletics
"I've been preparing for this all my life," CLIFF HAGAN said before taking over as athletics director at the University of Kentucky in 1975. Hagan succeeded Harry Lancaster as director after serving as assistant director for three years.
Hagan's path to the athletics directorship began in Owcnsboro, Kentucky, where he established a then state high school tournament record of 41 points in leading Owcnsboro to victory over Lafayette in the championship game of the 1949 high school tournament.
At UK, he played on teams that won S6 of 91 games and an NCAA championship (1951). The 1954 team, undefeated in 25 games, elected not to participate in the national tournament.
Under his leadership, the UK athletics department continues to develop success in all areas of endeavor including a strong dedication to the academic well-being of the athletes.

Since becoming head coach in 1972, succeeding the legendary Adolph F. Rupp, Hall has accumulated a record of 135 wins against 42 losses. His eleven year coaching record stands at 211-98. Broken down, it shows a 57-50 five year mark at Regis College, a 19-6 record at Central Missouri, and a 135-42 record at UK.
Hall became Rupp's top assistant in 1969 when Harry C. Lancaster was named athletics director. His record as freshmen coach was 60-15, including an undefeated (22-0) season (1971-72) which resulted in the Kittens being crowned National Freshmen Champions by Basketball News.
A popular personality on the clinic and convention circuits, Hall also has had much international exposure. In addition to the Globetrotters tour in 1951, and the "Down Under" tour in 1974, he has helped conduct basketball clinics for the U. S. Army in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska (1968) and at Ramstein Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany and the RAF Base at Mildenhall, England in 1975. He also was Olympic Trials coach under Hank Iba at the Air Force Academy in July 1972 and was a member of the 1976 Olympic Basketball Committee.

Before giving up his position to join the basketball staff on a full time basis, he molded a baseball team (1971) which established or tied 15 school records. He is a graduate of UK where he played guard under former Coach Adolph F. Rupp.
Parsons came to the University in 195S after an outstanding career as a four-sports star at Harlan High School, where he had a three-year basketball scoring total of 1,276 points.
He was a two-time (1960-61) recipient of the coveted A. B. Chandler award, given annually for the player best exemplifying the qualities of leadership, scholarship, character and ability. Only four oilier Wildcats have twice been so honored since the award was originated in 1951.
He is married to the former Celia Cawood of Harlan. They have a daughter, Kathy, and a son, Ed.

FRANK HAM became Assistant Director of Athletics in July 1975 soon after Cliff Hagan succeeded Harry C. Lancaster as Director of Athletics.
A native of Scranton, Pa., Ham came to the University in 1969 as Administrative Assistant to football coach John Ray, and was reassigned to the Athletic Director's staff in 1972 when Ray resigned.
Ham graduated from high school at Niles, Michigan, and completed his undergraduate work at Olivet College. He did graduate work at Indiana University and coached high school football and track at John Adams High in South Bend in 1944-46 and then returned to Olivet as athletic director and head football and basketball coach.

Feamster graduated from Franklin County High School where she was an outstanding tennis player and athlete. While in college she earned letters in tennis, field hockey, basketball and track from Indiana University and Kentucky State University, where she earned her B.S. degree and graduated with honors.
LARRY IVY Assistant Director of Athletics For Finance

6  Will Denote Rupp, UK Basketball
Public Donations To Build Museum To House Memorabilia
Adjacent to the entrance to Rupp Arena in the Lexington Center will be located the Adolph F. Rupp-UK Basketball Museum.
The purpose of the museum is to relive some of the past Wildcat teams' exploits and those of its great players. Included in the museum will be photographs, trophies, tape recordings, films and other memorabilia reflecting on past Kentucky teams.
"We have a unique opportunity to perpetuate the legend of the late Adolph Rupp and the rich basketball tradition that has been established by the University of Kentucky," commented DeWitt Hisle, chairman of the museum. "The museum will give basketball fans every where a fascinating insight into what I his game has meant to followers of the UK Wildcats."
Rupp coached teams compiled an 880-190 record. He guided the Wildcats to four NCAA titles, an NIT championship and 27 SEC crowns.
The museum will cover Kentucky basketball teams from the first season in 1903, when the team recorded a 1-2 record, through the most recently completed season.
A small theatre area will be located
ADOLPH F. RUPP
in the museum and used to show films on the changing style of basketball over the past 75 years.
The material found in the museum is coming from the official archives of UK, Memorial Coliseum, the family of the late Adolph Rupp and from the public.
"Obviously one of the major advantages we have in establishing this mus-
eum is the fact that we can build it around a central figure, the late Adolph Rupp, whose 41 seasons as UK head coach resulted in some of the greatest accomplishments in the history of collegiate basketball," said Charles Atcher, archivist of the University of Kentucky.
Atcher says one of the guiding principles in planning for the Rupp-UK Basketball Museum is that the museum will show the continuing history of basketball at UK, which means the museum will be capable of expanding to display accomplishments of future teams.
The UK tradition is being continued by Joe B. Hall who replaced Rupp as head coach berjinnins; with the 1972-73 season. In six years, Hall has led the Cats to four SEC championships, an NIT championship, the 1978 NCAA title and an overall 135-42 record.
Costing an approximate $200,000, the projects' funding will come from tax-deductible donations from the public. Operation of the museum will be funded by a small admission charge, "not to exceed $1," according to Hisle.
Donations to help establish the museum may be mailed to: Rupp-UK Museum, P. O. Box RUPP, Lexington, Ky. 40512.

20  Behind the Scenes:
Life in Collegiate Basketball Offers Rewards for Responsibility, Maturity
At the University of Kentucky, players learn how to compete, win and lose, and to live with the pressure of needing to do a job wellall commodities that will contribute to their well-being as adults. It's hectic but most players find the rewards greater than the sacrifices.
The life of playing basketball at one of the nation's leading powers requires dedication to the effort that is needed to compete at that level. The rewards come from being well-known around the U. S. upon graduation, of having a bright business future, of possibly making a professional team and of having had the experience of living with responsibility.
The fraternity to which they belong has as its membership dues days filled with strenuous practice, tutoring, mandatory curfews, commitments for weekends, bed checks, required meals, and a heavy slate of personal appearances. And, unlike most students, there are supervisors to make certain that they attend class and maintain good grades.
Their organization has as its code the idea that sacrifice and hard work will pay dividends for life. Part of the sacrifice is the absence of the relatively free life styles of their classmates as compared to their more stoic existences.
A typical day gives one an idea of the restricted life that collegiate players live.
At Kentucky, the players are awakened in time for breakfast in the Joe B. Hall Wildcat Lodge at 7:45 a.m. Its then off to class with a break for lunch in the Student Center. A brief rest period back at the Lodge precedes mid-afternoon practice at either Memorial Coliseum or at Rupp Arena. Practice finishes at 5:30 p.m. so that the players can get to the Student Center before the dinner line closes at 6 p.m. Supper is followed by appointments with tutors who help with specialized courses and help to bridge the gap caused by missed classes during road trips.
Later, there are often films, scouting reports and scull-sessions with the coaches, or the plavers try to get in some study before bed time. A midnight curfew is usually in affect and during special periods such as tournaments when thev are playing games on several successive nights, bedcheck is at 10:30 p.m.
Kentucky player* Dwane Casey, left, and Jay Shidier pause in their busy schedules to chat with cheerleader Jennifer Parks cn the UK campus. During basketball season, such free moments are rare.
"WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT WE'VE GOT?" NOT HERE!
If you've ever had to sort through a dozen or so packages of meat to find the exact size or price cut you'd been looking for, then "given up" in disgust when it wasn't available, you owe it to yourself to visit Foodtown (and check out our meat cases).
We proudly cut and package only U.S. CHOICE meats and poultry, and our meat department personnel naturally try and anticpate the cuts and sizes most folks want. However, if what we offer isn't what you need . . . ring the service bell and ask for help . . . we'll custom cut whatever you need without charge.

Into that schedule the players fit personal appearances such as speaking to church youth groups, television show appearances, press interviews, photographic sessions, various medical treatments and telephone calls from friends seeking tickets. After all is accomplished and only then come dates, trips home, guests for parties at the Lodge, a visit to a local disco, or time to indulge in a hobby.
So, how do the players find solitude?

ing during the Christmas holidays and killed a buck at Bluegrass Army Depot near Richmond. Dwane Casey has an active church life. LaVon Williams enjoys making clothes and is an adept tailor. Others have recorded music collections and Freddie Cowan is an avid fisherman who enjoys sitting beside a pond drowning worms.
However, the coaches feel the players should not be isolated from campus and public activities and though their sched-
ules are strenuous, they have time for personal recreation. The players consider Lexington an attractive place to attend college and find life in the Blue Grass region a pleasure. It is a plus that Kentucky recruiters have to offer. Many of Kentucky's former players have found close attachments to tbe city and have elected to make it their home graduation.
