Description

Cover Story, "Memphis State Calling" by Hayes Smith

"How did we do on the Phon- A-Thons this year?" questioned a friend who had volunteered her time for an evening during our Shelby County Annual Fund Phon-A-Thons. I enthusiastically replied with a barrage of statistics, demonstrating a 166 percent increase in pledges over the previous year and an 82 percent increase in dollars pledged.

Also featured, "'Salute' Planned Aug. 16"

In recognition of the importance of Memphis and Mid-South music, MSU will hold its third annual "Salute to Memphis Music" on Aug. 16 in memory of the late Elvis Presley. One of the highlights of the event will be a banquet in honor of entertainer Charlie Rich, winner of Memphis State's Distinguished Achievement Award. The banquet will be held at 6 p.m. Aug. 16 in the University Center Ballroom.
