THE UNIVERSITY An Asset to Richmond I 1 he community ' s qual- ity of life and economy - - is very dependent upon Eastern Kentucky Univer- sity said Sue Chenault, Execu- tive Director of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. Some businesses even close down dur- ing spring, Christmas and sum- mer breaks, she continued to say. University-related jobs and students contribute to one- fourth of the economy of Madi- son County. The University not only brings a source of income to the county, but also industry. She added that the University is a strong selling point with indus- trial manufacturing firms to lo- cate in Richmond. Eastern pro- vides education, cultural activi- ties, athletics, business and volunteer work to the communi- ty, Chenault noted. The University is also diversi- fied in what it offers to Madison County. Mrs. Chenault said that, for instance, a public relations class at the University drew up the proposals and plans for the Golden Leaf Tobacco Festival that takes place in November in Rich- mond. Chenault noted that the festival could not have been a success without the knowledge of the public relations class. In addition to supplying manpower, students also have specific technical skills not pos- sessed by our staff that we ' ve been able to use, said Beverly Fo- gle, director of the Marc Center, which has been in existence since 1969 and is a private agency that provides services for men- tally retarded and physically handicapped citizens in Madison County. The Marc Center is one organization that benefits from Eastern students. They raise money, renovate the Marc Center building, sell the clients ' crafts, and even try and locate jobs for the clients. Students serve as in- terns to the Marc Center through programs such as social work, oc- cupational therapy and voca- tional rehabilitation. Campus or- ganizations such as Kappa Delta Tau, Association of Law Enforce- ment and Student Council on Ex- ceptional Children volunteer their time to help the Marc Cen- ter. The University is a vast pool of resources that offers Madison County an available source of manpower, which enables the community to grow both fi- nancially and culturally as well as meeting its physical needs. 20 Student Life
