RECORDS, RECORDS, and more records, are what you see in Dr. Biel's home and classroom. Dr. Biel has a vast collection of the recording industry. Unique Professor i Cluttered boxes are stacked haphazardly around the room. Propped against a desk covered with papers, pen- cils and pamphlets is a huge, red, metal sign advertising Coca-Cola. The walls are plastered with a wide variety of posters from Garfield and Disco Sucks to shots of the London skyline. Looking beyond the clutter, one notices a theme to the disarray. Antique radios, records, televisions and recorders are displayed around the room. Most of the posters have something to do with the broadcast in- dustry. Not exactly a typical professorls office, but then Dr. Michael J. Biel is not a typical university professor. Dr. Biel teaches Audio-produetion, Broadcasting History, Problems in Contemporary Broadcasting, and American Popular Culture. Besides that, he is an avid col- lector of everything and anything connected with the recording industry.An acknowledged expert in this field, Biel is known nation-wide for his extensive collection, his writings on the subject, and his expertise which has helped him expose several frauds concerning recording history. Recently, Biel produced a record of early recordings by Thomas Edison entitled Edison Speaks. He said of the effort: I did the whole album by myself, even down to making the negatives for the pictures. The total album is about 59 minutes and only about 10 minutes of that has been available to the public before. Biel said he hoped that MSU will take students' feelings into consideration more. liPresident Reinhard made a lot of advances, getting rid of waste and out-moded ideas, he said. I would only hope we don't backslide, and that students could make a difference. nI'm dismayed that students aren't listened to more around here.

GAZING into the rowdy crowd, Morehead's mascot and Governor Collins stood arm-in-arm on the speakers platform. Morehead's eagle is sophomore psychology major, Ken Hackett. The aura was tremendous. Chanting. Cheering. Supporting. The higher- education rally in Frankfort united representatives from eight public univer- sities, private colleges and community col- leges. All came together in search of a brighter future for Kentucky - higher education. Four-hundred students, faculty, and ad- ministrators from MSLI crowded on three buses destined for the Dudgeon Civic Center near the capitol. As the crowd entered the center, one could hear the roar of university pep-bands in the background. Each college and university was recognized by its Cheerleaders leading cheers for their alma mater. Students were dancing in their seats, waving balloons, and shaking pom- pons and signs representing their school. As the action ceased, the guest speaker, former North Carolina governor James Hunt appeared on the stage. He seemed an appropriate speaker for the event since he gained national recognition for his work in education. Higher Education Rally Nmsmgw5$xknhhwwnmm s l Referring to Kentucky's profound basketball history, Hunt described our state as The Kentucky Team meaning we should all pull together for that victory in education. Following Hunt's opening speech, Governor Martha Lane Collins was escorted inside the center by some of the state's honor students. Mounting the stage against a background of applause, Gover- nor Collins addressed the crowd with en- thusiasm and determination. iiWith this spirit we cannot fail, and we will not fail, Governor Collins said. Governor Collins showed approval of the rally by voicing the failure of past attempts at higher education. i can remember times when l couldnit get a group this size to talk about educa- tion, Governor Collins said. iiThis reminds me of a political convention, pep rally, and old time tent revival all rolled into one. Faculty senate leader David Brumagen, a biology doctorate, has been a principle ad- vocate of higher education. Hl attended the rally to support high. education and to bring it to the forefront c the public and legislature, Brumagen said A lot of students came not only for th support of higher education but for thei university. Paula McDowell, for example wanted the legislature to know that sh was interested in education as well as MSU ill came to represent the university feelings about bettering the education pro cess in the state, said McDowell, a senio business data-processing major fro South Shore. After the rally, students got back on th. buses and proceeded on to Lexington for - reception sponsored by the Alumn' Association in the Hilton lnn. Students at Morehead as well as the whole state, are motivated about inspiring a better educational system in the state. As Governor Collins said, Hi don't want Kentucky students to ever have to look outside their own state's boundaries for a college to attend. By ADA MIRACLE
