NOt-So-Typical Musician Ron Hayden is not your typical stereo-type musician. The music major Louisville native is slim, well-groomed and soft- spoken. He laughs easily and admits that holding center stage isnlt what he wants to do. ill like composing music best, he said. HHearing other groups play my music and playing it myself is the ultimate. Hayden plays the guitar and is mostly self-taught, not begin- ning lessons until he came to MSU four years ago. He chose this university because it offered study in jazz this main interesti and a scholarship. Since then, he has played in several bands traveling from Louisville to Miami, Buffalo, Dayton, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. He says D.C. was the most memorable - it was more ritzy and we played for senators and other political figures. Hayden cut a record about a year ago which got some air SENIOR music major Ron Hayden, composes songs on the keyboard. Hayden, along with some friends, composed a song about President Reinhard to a rag-time rhythm. time on the radio. It was just a fun, impromptu thing. A bunch of my friends and l were sitting around and someone came in and told us about the speech President Reinhard was giving at the gym about it being a whole new ballgame. So, I started messing around on the piano, throwing some lyrics together. My friends said, llMake it more reggae, and pretty soon we had a song. More recently, his music is being used by a friend, Greg Lesley, who plans to make some basement videos for MTV. Hayden also plans to join with Jay Flippen to form a jazzhock band. Flippen, who plays piano, is a professor at MSG. Hayden says he is glad he decided to come to MSU. t'Overall, I dont regret it. The instructors have all been great. A couple of years ago the Music Department got some computers, a keyboard, and a drum machine, all of which are where music is at now, he said. uSo, we are keeping up with the world.

Graduation John Flavell Graduation is a goal long-looked forward to by every incoming freshman. For those with stamina and perseverance it can be achieved, and for 600 seniors it was achieved on May 17, 1986. Two-thirds of the nearly 600 candidates for graduate and undergraduate degrees participated in the second outdoor commencement in MSU's history. What had only been a dream before had become a reality. The years of preparation - the exams, research papers, speeches, etc., are finally over at this culmination of endless semesters of hard work and dedication. Graduation is the stepping stone from quality education to career achievement. Many graduates will enter the job market immediately, while others will choose to further their education pursuing their masteris or doctoral degree. Whatever the choice made, the ceremony that catapulted each new graduate toward their next goal will not be forgotten. At the second ever winter graduation, seniors left their alma mater to pursue their vision of success. Graduating a semester early or a semester late, these seniors were given their chance to shine at a graduation ceremony just for them, without waiting for the traditional May commencement. ALL SMILES. Tracey Dunn seems to be just as proud of Morehead State as he is of his home in England. Dunn was a member of the tennis team while he attended MSU.
