Concerts for everyone During the year a variety of concerts offers students many opportunities for an evening of fun. TRUTH, sponsored by BCM, showed scope in its performance and was well attended. Music ranged from disco to traditional, including some jazz influenced saxophone solos and presenting the relatively new sound of synthesized drum, plus the crowd's favorite — the tricycle horn.Truth was nominated for a Grammy and their Christmas album was distributed by Columbia. The Nickey Miller Benefit concert presented in Mason Hall in October included a medley of songs highlighted by some he wrote himself. Well known songs were Lady , If You Should Sail, and The Lady Is A Tramp. The Jimmy Church Revue, sponsored by SGA, played for the homecoming dance following the pep rally which featured the crowning of Miss Homecoming, Brenda Smith. In the music department concerts composed of student and faculty groups are numerous events that furnish entertainment for students and area citizens.

Board searches for president October 20, annual board meeting date of the trustees, was an event of special interest when Governor Fob James made an unprecedented appearance as a result of the concern over the Search committee appointed to interview applicants for the position of University president. The meeting was open to faculty and staff, many of whom attended for the purpose of making suggestions, asking questions, and presenting resolutions. The meeting was concluded with the agreement that the Faculty Senate and the Board would come to a mutual agreement allowing faculty input.
