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 Hagaii 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 Owensboro, Kentucky, where he established a then state high school tournament record of 41 points in leading Owensboro 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.
 JOE B. HALL
LEONARD HAMILTON is beginning his fifth year at Kentucky after serving three years as assistant coach at Austin Peay. An outstanding recruiter with seemingly tireless energy, Hamilton has contributed heavily to maintaining a high level of young talent at UK. Specializing in coaching defense, Hamilton has had a positive impact on Wildcat defensive

joe B. Hall University of Kentucky WiIdeats Head Basketball Coach
JOE B. HALL is beginning his seventh season as mentor of the Wildcats, coming off a year in which his senior dominated team captured the 1978 NCAA Championship. 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. In 1978 he coached the U.S.A. team that hosted the first International Invitational Tournament.

La., he attended Baton Rouge High School where he earned letters in basketball and football. In addition to regular coaching duties with the Wildcats, Dean's primary responsibilities will be recruiting and scouting. He is married to the former Ellen Elizabeth Anger of Jackson, Miss.
DICK PARSONS
DICK PARSONS, in his seventh year as Joe B. Hall's No. 1 assistant, returned to the University as baseball coach in 1969. 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 other 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.
5 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 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.
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.
SUSAN FEAMSTER Assistant Director of Athletics
SUE FEAMSTER joined the athletics association July 1 with the merger of the men's and women's programs. Feamster had been the director of women's athletics prior to her appointment as assistant director of athletics.

University as a graduate student in 1970, was named assistant director of campus recreation in 1972 and director of women's athletics in 1974.
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
Adding a new dimension to UK athletics was the appointment two years ago of LARRY IVY as Assistant Director of
Athletics for Finance.
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.

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 DcWitt Hisle, chairman of the museum. "The museum will give basketball fans every where a fascinating insight into what this 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 beginning 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.

Brownell Combs, II, general manager P.O. Box 996, Lexington, Ky. 40588, (606)2995271 Behind the Scenes:
Trainer Walt McCombs Keeps Cats Running
Last season, Kentucky Basketball Trainer Walt McCombs wrapped approximately 97,200 feet of tape on the Wildcats. This season he will again reach that mark in his day-to-dav effort to prevent athletic injuries and to care for others.
Working from an office in Memorial Coliseum, McCombs is charged with keeping the basketball plavers properly fed, in tip-top physical condition, rested and medically sound. All of this he defines as the prevention and care of athletic injuries.
Wrapping ankles, the most ferquentlv injured part of a basketball player's body, is an important aspect of his duties but is hardly where they end.
From the day that an athlete reports for school, McCombs begins to care for his physical well-being. He determines the condition of the player, makes appointments with medical specialists when needed, watches his food intake, stretches his tight muscles, gives him various treatments such as massages and whirlpool treatments, and does all that he can to prevent injuries.
Prior to a game, McCombs is in the small training room that adjoins the main locker-room for the Wildcats in Rupp Arena. He and his student trainer, Charles Center, a junior from Mt. Sterling, Ky., are wrapping ankles with tape that will prevent some sprains and reduce the severity of others. They are also giving players treatments with an ultrasound machine that among other things, helps to loosen tight muscles. He may also be supervising a player that needs a whirlpool treatment in the small tub in the room, or under supervision of team physician Dr. V. A. Jackson, he may be applying any number of physical aides to minor injuries.
McCombs works like a beaver stretching tape around, under, over and across the players' ankles. He pulls a strip from the outside of the ankle to the inside, tears it off and repeats it. The sound of tape peeling off the spool and being torn is rapid and by the time all are wrapped, he is perspiring and flushed. The players' ankles look as though a cocoon has been spun around them, almost forming a cast.
He and Center often spread heat-producing nibs on player's tight knees and other joints. Some of the salves as McCombs says "will turn you iccy-hot and bring tears to your eyes." Thcv are
UK Trainer Walt McCombs, center, works with one player prior to a game stretching tight muscles with exercises while student trainer, Charles Center, foreground, helps to loosen thigh and back muscles in Fred Cowan. Kyle Macy, right, awaits his turn on the table. Stretching is one activity McCombs uses to aid in the prevention of athletic injuries.
"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.

22 used along with other materials such as back plasters to speed the players loosen-ing-up process.
All of the players need and utilize stretching exercises to loosen tight muscles. However, some like Jay Shidler and Kyle Macy require more than those that can be performed by themselves. In such cases, McCombs practically climbs onto the training table with them to push and pull legs, backs, and arms into strange looking distortions. All the movements are carefully calculated to stretch the individuals and not cause strains. Inadequate stretching and warming up prior to exercise as strenuous as playing college basketball could cause serious injury.
The Belton, S. C. native is in his second tenure at UK, having served in a part-time position before going to Clem-son and then returning to his present job. He helps with the football training program but is chiefly responsible for the training duties of the basketball team.
"Most of these athletes have been playing ball since junior high school and have been learning from their coaches how to care for themselves in order to gain the maximum out of their performances," says McCombs. He feels that this increased education on behalf of the athletes has helped. It isn't a big adjustment for them to be placed into a routine concerning their meals, sleeping, and working-out since they are already accustomed to routines. Some, however, need advice on their foods but most are pretty aware of which help the most.
McCombs is responsible for the team's living habits including meals. The foods chosen for the players are products of

head coach Joe B. Hall's experience. "He probably doesn't know much about the chemical breakdown of the foods in the blood stream," says McCombs, "but with all his years of experience, he knows better than most dieticians what will help the players the most."
McCombs' days begin around 9 a.m. and end after either evening practice or a game. In between he is contending with meals, treatments, equipment, guidance and any other happenings in his area of expertise.
When McCombs and Center emerge from the training room prior to a game, the players are finishing their dressing, Coach Hall is beginning his pre-game talk and its nearly time for the team to go through its on-court warm-up drills.
He then puts on his white shirt and tie, gathers his satchel of tape and other paraphenalia and takes his place at the end of the team bench.
For most of the games, he's a cheerleader, an enthusiastic fan on the sideline. However, if a player gets a "Char-Icy horse," a deep bruise on a muscle, or a cramp, he is quick as a cat massaging, and relieving the injury in an effort to get the player ready to return to action. If a player suffers a strain or sprains an ankle, he and Dr. Jackson evaluate the injury, prepare him for re-entering the game if he can, and then report to Coach Hall on his condition. They test his forward, backward and lateral movement and tell Coach Hall whether or not the player should be carefully watched.
