DR. OTIS A. SINGLETARY
President, University of Kentucky
The University of Kentucky has become one of the major institutions of higher learning in the United States under the leadership of Dr. Otis Singletary, the eighth president of the University.
Dr. Singletary was named president
Athletics Department
CLIFFORD O. HAGAN
Director
Expansion of the football training room and addition of a beautiful player's lounge at Shively Sports Center, new carpeting in the stadium football offices, a new basketball office complex in Memorial Coliseum, re-arrangement of the baseball fences and a new surface for the running track arc just a few of the recent improvements that signify the continuing progress of UK athletics since Cliff ] lagan joined the Wildcat Staff seven years ago.
Recognized nationally as a progressive, business-oriented and promotion-minded administrator, Hagan has seen and overseen vast improvements in all phases of an ever-expanding operation that has encompassed 16 sports since the men's and
of the University in August, 1969. He had previously served as executive vice-chancellor for academic affairs in the University of Texas System and director of the Job Corps program for the Office of Economic Opportunity.
Dr. Singletary, a native of Gulfport, Miss., holds degrees from Millsaps College and Louisiana State University.
As president of the principal institu-
women's programs were merged in July of last year.
The merger, under Hagan's direction, has been orderly, with office space remodeled and in some cases created to make room for the women's coaching and administrative staff.
The indoctrination of Hagan into the UK   athletics   administrative structure
tion of higher learning in the Commonwealth, Dr. Singletary is greatly concerned with the University's role as a land-grant institution, a "people's university" accessible to all who can profit from education.
In the nine years he has been president, the University has grown to where there are now more than 22,000 students on the Lexington campus and more than 17,000 students in UK's 13 community colleges, and the University has become one of the major research institutions in the country.
Recognition of his service to the University was evidenced by the UK Alumni Association, which presented to Dr. Singletary its Alumni Service Awardan honor rarely bestowed upon a non-alumnus of the University.
Dr. Singletary is the author of two books and several monographs.
A Navy veteran of World War II and the Korean Conflict, he is a commander in the U. S. Naval Reserve. He and Mrs. Singletary, the former Gloria Walton, have three children: Bonnie, Scot and Kendall.
The Singletarys live at Maxwell Place, traditional home of UK presidents.
came in 1972, when he was named assistant to Harry C. Lancaster and given the task of implementing the Blue & White Fund for 57,600-scat Commonwealth Stadium and later for Rupp Arena. The fruits of his labors in this area have provided the additional financial support that has elevated the UK athletics program into a first class operation.
Hagan was named Athletics Director in July 1975 following Lancaster's retirement.
Hagan also has been an advocate of a strong scholar-athlete program, feeling "a genuine commitment to provide all the academic support and encouragement we can to help our athletes leave our campus with a college education and a degree."
On the personal side, Hagan received one of his highest individual honors last May when he became the first University of Kentucky basketball player to be installed in the Naismith Memorial National Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.
He is married to the former Martha Milton of Owensboro. They have four children: Lisa, Laurie, Amy, and Kip. FRANK HAM
Assistant Director of Athletics
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 footpall coach John Ray, and was reassigned to the Athletic Director's staff in 1972 when Ray resigned.
LARRY IVY Assistant Director of Athletics for Finance
Adding a new dimension to UK athletics was the appointment three years ago of LARRY IVY as Assistant Director of Athletics for Finance.
Ham graduated from high school at Niles, Michigan, and completed his undergraduate 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.
In 1951, he became assistant to the president at Olivet, with responsibilities in public and alumni relations. He was in private business from 1954 until 1968.
Ivy, who came to the University as Director of Housing in 1969, is involved primarily with the administration and management of financial aspects, and develops and initiates policies for accounting procedures and related business management activities of the department.
SUE FEAMSTER Assistant Director of Athletics
SUE FEAMSTER joined the athletics recreation in 1972 association July 1, 1978, with the merger of the men's and women's programs. Feamstcr had been the director of women's athletics prior to her appointment as assistant director of athletics.
A native of Frankfort, she came to the University as a graduate student in 1970, was named assistant director of campus
in   y/:i   and   director of women's athletics in 1974.
Feamster graduated from Franklin County High School where she was an outstanding tennisi player and athlete.

Seniors play final home game
Kyle Macy, Senior Guard
WHEN the Kentucky band plays "On, On, U of K" tonight and the cheerleaders come bouncing and cartwheeling onto the court ahead of the Wildcats, leading the team will be three of the school's most popular players, La-Von Williams, Jay Shidler and Kyle Macy.
As freshmen they came from diverse backgrounds and brought with them a variety of aspirations and attitudes. As seniors, they share four years of experiences that are made primarily of winning, including a national championship.
Williams was from the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado. Shidler came from Lawrenceville, Illinois, and Macy from Peru, Indiana. All were highly successful in their high school careers and all were heavily recruited before choosing Kentucky.
Their careers at Kentucky have been
shaped to each one's talents and individual personality makeups but they have reached a similar conclusionsuccess.
Shidler has grown from the blonde bomber of his freshman days to the "brown bomber" who can "fill it up" in such alien places as Tuscaloosa. Williams has grown from being a back-up forward to one of the most tenacious players in the SEC. Macy transferred to Kentucky from Purdue after one year, sat out a year waiting to become eligible and then developed into the best guard in the nation.
Shidler has spent four years diving into the stands after errant passes, playing "belly-up defense," and shooting jump-shots from downtown Lexington. During his senior year, the hustle, the defense and the shooting touch have all come together and produced a highly rewarding finale.

ing. Williams has manned his post well despite each season presenting him with a different role. One year it was a substitute's role, the next a role as the team mainstay and this year as a leader among young giants.
Macy began his Kentucky career as "The glue that holds the Blue," in a drive for the national championship. His junior year saw him carry a tremendous leadership role with a young team in a tough league and his senior year, he simply became the best.
All three seniors have seen the glory of winning the NCAA championship and all have traveled and experienced a wealth of foreign sites. There was a tour for the team in Japan, Williams played in Europe with the U.S. team in 1979 and Macy won a gold medal in the 1979 Pan American games in Puerto Rico. This year they have been to the base of a glacier in Alaska and to the glitter and sand of Las Vegas, Nevada.

importantly, I've learned how to deal with disappointment, how to wait my turn and how to deal with pressure. This is important to me now," says Williams looking at his Kentucky career.
