I t’s not often you get to enjoy your life’s work. Neither is it usual to know what your life’swork will be from an early age. I spent some time in elementary school dreaming offighting fires or crime with my undoubtedly dormant super powers, but after coming to

terms with a genetic inclination toward a ... less physical career choice (and realizing my superpowers were extraordinarily shy or nonexistent), I began to survey realistic career pathsaround the age of 10. Journalism came to me, in honesty, as a glamourous role for the not-so-physical type. It was a way for me to impact the exciting world around me with a purpose, andtruthfully, it was overvalued by the Clark Kents and Peter Parkers of the fiction world.Now, I know my realization of reporting at an early age is mostly irrelevant to this magazine,

but when I met with my adviser over the summer of 2012 to begin planning our project, I wastaken back to the days that I imagined journalism toppling governments, fighting crime andmade up of vigilant heros with pens and pads of paper. As I sat in that meeting, talking aboutadvertising rates, page counts and all that boring stuff, I realized that, yes, journalism has itsrole in investigation and playing the fourth-tier-of-American-politics role. But at its base – atthe beginning – the American media should inform. To report to the public the goings-on ofthe world around them humbly and unbiasedly is what so many of us young journalists spendour time in school learning to do. We are brave heroes saving the innocent civilians fromfalling into the abyss of the overly complicated and complex nature of a world grownaccustomed to the nature of the wild beast we call the American media. We bridge the gapbetween the known and the unknown. We are the gateway.It’s with that knowledge that this talented batch of young editors and managers tackled this

year’s newly redesigned Gateway 2013. This time, we sought to truly look into the eye of theRacer and seek out what makes Murray, Calloway County and the wonderful little universityin the middle of it all click. This year, this full-color, re-formatted publication features full-length features that can give potential students, visitors and those who think they know theropes a new outlook on this community we all call home for at least a little while.

Gateway is a gateway. It is an experience that we want you to be a part of. We’re turning thepage on what we’ve ever done before and writing and designing a whole new publication. Thisyear’s front features a graphical illustration of the eye of the Racer by our photography editorKylie Townsend. Her brilliant work illustrates the nature of what this year’s theme is. With anewly redesigned set of pages, we decided to look deeper into the community and school anddistribute our product more widely than ever before. I truly hope you enjoy the work TheMurray State News has done this year. With the help of an introductory advertising class, wehave created an entirely student-made magazine production project that we think rivals thebest. Enjoy. Learn. Be a Racer, and be a part of the gateway.

Austin RamseyEditor-in-Chief

As with any university, several tradi-tions arise that make the college’s cam-pus life unique to every student.Murray State carries on some of its

own unique traditions that bond years ofstudents and alumni and are passed onbetween generations. Here are just a few:

Shoe TreeStanding as a memorial to lovers past,

the shoe tree is found in the southeastcorner of the Quad. It is a tradition atMurray State to nail a couple’s shoes tothe tree if they met during their time oncampus. Students have continued thistradition for many years, and manyschedule wedding plans around Home-coming weekend so they can add theirshoes to this growing tradition.

All Campus SingDating back to 1958, Sigma Alpha Iota

puts on a variety show like no other. Stu-dents from all different parts of campusgather to perform short musicals on the

steps of Lovett Auditorium every April.Students, faculty and community mem-bers gather on the lawn to watch thisone-of-a-kind show.

Campus LightsThe brothers of Phi Mu Alpha and sis-

ters of Sigma Alpha Iota are responsiblefor one of the longest-run traditions oncampus, Campus Lights. This event is astudent-run musical that takes placeevery January and serves as the groups’scholarship fundraisers. Recent selec-tions include: “TheMusic Man,” “Beautyand the Beast” and “Titanic.”

Tent CityEvery year organizations across cam-

pus come together to welcome back gen-erations of alumni at the annual TentCity. Comprised of more than 50 tents,Tent City is held as a part of the Home-coming festivities on the east side of RoyStewart Stadium. The event started in1989 and serves as an attraction for bothalumni and community members.

Racer OneMurray State enjoys putting its own

spin on the traditional touchdown dance.Since 1976, a thoroughbred horse, namedRacer One, runs a celebratory lap aroundthe football field. Each year a new horseand a new jockey are given the chance tocarry on this tradition. The originalRacer One, famously named Violet Cac-tus, is buried near the north end zone.

By Ryan Richardson

Murray State provides stu-dents with numerous oppor-tunities to explore theirworld.Robyn Pizzo, education

abroad adviser sinceMarch of2012, said the University hasmore than 400 individual pro-gram offerings in more than40 countries. Proportionately,that means Murray State sentmore students abroad lastyear than any other Kentuckypublic university.The traditional study

abroad programs meant beingaway for a semester or year,but fewer students are takingthose trips. Pizzo said it ismore common now for stu-dents to take part in programswhich last one to five weeksduring the spring, winter andsummer breaks.She said it was cheaper to

study abroad for a semesterbecause students pay regulartuition and housing; however,for students who want tostudy for less than a semesterwhile keeping cost minimal-ized, Murray State offers “Dis-cover” programs in placessuch as China, Korea andBrazil. The cost is approxi-mately $2,500 to $3,000.Trenton Little, junior from

Benton, Ky., took advantage ofa semester-long programwhen he traveled to Regens-burg, Germany, in the fall of2011.“I believe I applied for

around five scholarships andreceived three of them,” Littlesaid. “After getting scholar-

ships for the program, it wasactually cheaper for me tostudy abroad in Germanythan it would have been forme to stay here in Murray.”Pizzo said Murray State of-

fers numerous scholarships tohelp students. She said thegoal of the Office of StudyAbroad is to help students inany way they can, especiallyfinancially.“We have over $100,000 in

scholarships to give away thisyear,” she said. “The averageaward for the last cycle of ap-plicants was over $900.”Students can use a combi-

nation of grants, loans andscholarships to pay for theirairfare and classes.“The best programs are the

ones that tie directly into astudent’s field of study,” Pizzosaid.Rob Lewis, sophomore

from Great Mills, Md., wasable to take classes related tohis major when he went toBelize for two weeks in May2012.“I’m a wildlife biology

major with a very strict classsequence so I had to choose asummer program,” Lewissaid.Kristen Tinch, senior from

Lewisburg, Ky., also com-pleted course requirementswhen she studied abroad onthree different occasions. Inthe Virgin Islands, during thesummer of 2010, she took aseminar in science to fulfill arequirement for the HonorsProgram.“It was so beneficial to me

because both of my majors

are in the humanities,” Tinchsaid. “This really stretchedmy ability to think because Iwas examining issues from ascientist’s perspective.”In Costa Rica, during the

summer of 2010, Tinch alsotook two upper-level Spanishclasses. Then, in 2011, Tinchtook two literature coursescounting towards her Englishdegree when she lived with a77-year-old host mother inBregenz, Austria.Pizzo said there have never

been any major problems

with the program because theUniversity works so hard toaccommodate students.“The Study Abroad office is

extremely flexible and willingto tailor to the needs of eachstudent,” she said.Pizzo said she believes stu-

dents should try to studyabroad if at all possible.Said Pizzo: “Study abroad is

a great opportunity to expandyour world view and learnmore about yourself and theworld around you while earn-ing college credit.”

Not long after Jim Naismith came up with the idea at the Springfield, Mass.,YMCA, basketball found its home in Kentucky. Naismith, a formerminister who left his home in Canada to work at the YMCA, was put in

charge of a physical education class during the winter of 1891. Confined by theharsh winter weather, Naismith needed a game he could teach 18 rowdy boys toplay in a small gymnasium. What he came up with would change the landscapeof sports in America (and later the world) forever.

SPORT IS TRADITION FOR SCHOOL, STATE

Using old peach baskets as goals, thefirst game of basketball was played Dec.21, 1891. Each team had nine boys and thefinal score was 1-0.It wasn’t long before the game spread

quickly throughout YMCA’s acrossAmerica. By 1895, it reached the YMCAin Louisville, Ky. Instantly, the game waspopular with Kentuckians. Hundreds ofpeople came out to watch games as theYMCA organized teams and leaguesbased on age. In the same year, BereaCollege organized the first universitybasketball team in the state.The game didn’t truly take off in Ken-

tucky until 1903, when the University ofKentucky fielded its first basketballteam. The team lost to Georgetown 15-6in its first game.As colleges around the state began put-

ting together basketball programs, highschools carried the sport to every corner

of the Commonwealth. Even smallschools, who could not afford to fundfootball and baseball programs, put uphoops on dirt courts. Communitiesbegan to gather on weekends towatch their local youth playnearby schools.Thanks in large part to

high school teams, basket-ball gradually became en-grained in the culture ofKentucky. People whodidn’t have much elseto do on Friday andSaturday nightsbegan followingtheir local highschool teams.Before long, en-tire communi-ties wereshowing up to cheer their localteams to victory.This was also happening in Ten-

nessee, Missouri, Indiana and Mis-sissippi. It was not until the 1920s and‘30s when Kentucky began to separateitself as one of the basketball capitals ofthe country.Sid Easley, University of Kentucky

graduate and long-time Murray Statebasketball season ticket holder, said hebelieves this separation can be attributedto two key figures.“Adolph Rupp at Kentucky and Ed Did-

dle at Western made college basketball

popular in Kentucky,” Easley said. “Theybuilt those programs and they attractedimmense followings.”

While communities supportedtheir local teams, everyonecould share their allegiance tothe state-wide college basketball

teams. This, according toEasley, is what allowed bas-ketball to explode in popu-larity in Kentucky.Far western Kentucky,

often called the Purchasearea, was a bit different, how-ever. Secluded from the rest ofthe state thanks to LakeBarkley and Kentucky Lake,the people of western Ken-

tucky loved basketball, butweren’t as crazed as those inthe central and eastern partsof the state.

That changed in 1929.At the time, Heath was a

very small Paducah areaschool with limited sports

programs, but did have a men’sbasketball team. Heath madean improbable run in ’29, earn-ing a spot in the Sweet 16 Bas-ketball State Championship.Defeating several much larger

schools from Lexington andLouisville along the way, Heath took thestate title. It would mark the first of sev-eral state titles to come back to the Pur-

chase area of Kentucky.In the 30 years followingHeath’s championship, fourother Purchase area schoolsalso won the state tournament:Sharp-1939, Brewers-1948, Cuba-1952, and NorthMarshall-1959. Asteams grew increasingly success-ful, the fans in far western Ken-tucky grew more enthusiastic.Those successful high school pro-grams made the Purchase area ahotbed for basketball talent. Duringthat 30-year period, CarlisleCutchin was building a strong bas-ketball program at the fledgling collegein Murray. Many of the same playerswho the locals fell in love with duringtheir high school years ended up con-tinuing their careers in Murray.Willard Bagwell, the star player on that1929 Heath team, came to Murray. JoeFulks, a Kuttawa High School graduate,would later go on to be enshrined in theNaismith Basketball Hall of Fame for hisNBA career after his time in Murray.Howie Crittendon played on the 1952state championship Cuba team and alsocontinued on to Murray State. All three

are enshrined in the MurrayState Hall of Fame, and Crittendonand Fulks’ numbers hang from therafters in the CFSB center.Players such as these enticedfans from the entire region toMurray State basketball. Beforelong, the then named Thorough-

breds, dominated the sports landscapefrom Paducah to Hazel.In addition to the legendary players,Murray State’s isolation from the rest ofthe state also allowed basketball to grow.“The four hour drive between Lexing-ton and Murray was and still is huge forthe basketball program,” Easley said.“The distance allows Murray to sepa-rate itself from the pandemonium that isUK basketball,” he said. “Places likeMorehead and Richmond are ghosttowns on days that UK has a home game,

even if those local schoolshave games as well. PeopleinMurray still have alle-giance to UK andwatch those gameson television, butmost put their al-legiance toward the

Racers first and foremost.”With the Kentucky and Louisvillemen’s teams dominating most of thestate, Murray proves to be unique thanksto its distance from the much larger,powerhouse programs. This creates abasketball culture in Murray that isunique from each of the smaller basket-ball programs in the state.Perhaps it is the powerful dunks fromEd Daniel or the breathtaking deep 3’sfrom Isaiah Canaan that make basketballpopular in Murray. Basketball has a wayof uniting communities in ways othersports simply cannot.The atmosphere in Murray is unparal-leled around the country. It may not bethe biggest or best program in the coun-try, but it’s certainly a program Jim Nai-smith, a preacher from a small town,would have been proud to see.

but most put their allegiance toward theRacers first and foremost.

On a dreary September afternoon, infront of approximately 100 Murray Statefaculty, alumni and citizens of Murray,stands Robert Valentine, professor ofjournalism and mass communications,portraying Murray State’s founderRainey T. Wells.“I believe I can truthfully say this af-

ternoon that the population of CallowayCounty desires the location of this nor-mal school, within its bounds, more thanany county in western Kentucky,” Valen-tine recited during this anniversary cele-bration. “I want to say to you that thepeople of Calloway commence to pre-pare and present their petition at theproper time … A school cannot wither inCalloway County.”The recited speech was originally

given by Wells in 1922 as a pitch to thestate government stating why Murraywas the right city for a new normalschool. Months before the speech, Wells,with the help of the Murray community,raised $100,000 in donation grants to go

toward a potential new normal school.They raised the final $16,000 after hisspeech was given.On Friday, Sept. 1, 1922, Murray was of-

ficially chosen as the location for theWestern State Normal School. Theschool was later renamed Murray StateNormal School and officially opened onSept. 24, 1923. By the end of its openingday, 87 students were enrolled and sixclasses were filled. The school consistedof four rooms and an auditorium.Today, 90 years later, Murray State has

10,623 students enrolled in 120 differentdegree programs, according to the 2011-12 Murray State Fact Book. The Univer-sity also currently has 74 major buildingsand two libraries.The University celebrated its 90th an-

niversary on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 inthe Quad.“We are gathered here this evening in

the historic Quad near the statue of Dr.Rainey T. Wells, also near the iconicShoe Tree and within view of several ofthe original buildings constructed on thiscampus to celebrate the 90th anniversary

of this great University,” said MarkWelch, director of community relationsand public information.Welch, who organized the event, had

faculty members speak to the audienceabout some of the University’s oldestbuildings. Among those buildings wereOakhurst, Wrather Hall, Wilson Hall,Wells Hall, Lovett Auditorium and PogueLibrary. Wells, portrayed by Valentine, gave the

keynote address which included the his-torical speech he gave that would ulti-mately earn Murray its own normalschool. Along with the anniversary event in

the Quad, Tony Powell, web manager forthe University, created a special websitefull of alumni and students’ submittedphotos and stories. The website, mur-raystate.edu/90th, will remain onlineuntil the end of the academic year. The University’s 2012 Homecoming

was also themed 90 Years to Remember.The annual Homecoming parade filledMain Street with recreations and memo-rabilia from the first 90 years.

The oldest student group oncampus is still moving for-ward 77 years after it began.The Student Government

Association is made up of fourbranches. These include theSenate, Campus ActivitiesBoard, Judicial Board and theResidential College Associa-tion.The Senate is the main

branch of SGA, and it is thestudents’ governing body withthe power to pass resolutions,bills, rules and regulationsnecessary for the general wel-fare of the University, and toimplement and maintain anyprograms consistent with the

student group’s purposes.The presidents of Judicial

Board, CAB and RCA all holdpositions on the executivecouncil of SGA.The three representatives

help conduct meetings andgive weekly reports to informthe Senate of happeningsthroughout campus.Senators vote on items such

as the budget, what events tosponsor and how to help or-ganizing Homecoming.Last year, even when it

caused some controversy,SGA voted to stop its fundingof the Presidential Lecture Se-ries.

Several campus and cityleaders, including Mayor BillWells, visit the weekly meet-ings to discuss issues and toanswer questions from thestudents.Some of the larger discus-

sions in the last couple ofyears have been about the citystickers, plans for a new li-brary, parking problems, theSGA budget and student in-volvement with campus activ-ities.There are approximately 60

senate positions in SGA. Twoof the positions are for fresh-man students and the rest areopen to students who wish torepresent their academic col-lege, fraternity, sorority, resi-dential college and othervarious campus groups.Jeremiah Johnson, SGA

president, said one of the pur-poses of the organization wasto expand student interest incampus involvement and stu-dent affairs.Johnson also holds a posi-

tion on the Board of Regents.Jeanie Morgan, coordinator

of student activities, said SGAis the voice of the students.

“I think the student govern-ment is the heart of the stu-dent body,” Morgan said. “Itrepresents and protects thestudents. The ultimate goal isto better the University for thestudents.”Morgan said SGA is the

moral fiber of the studentsand demonstrates integrityand justice.According to its website, the

purposes of the Student Gov-ernment Association are topromote the welfare, growthand development of studentlife in an environment of aca-demic excellence, to representthe students in all phases ofadministrative effort and toprovide a means of promotingcooperative efforts for thegeneral welfare of the Univer-sity community.“You have to have gover-

nance in any institutional or-ganization,” Morgan said.“From the beginning SGA hashad a strong, solid foundationand it keeps getting better.We’ve tweaked some things astime goes on, but we’ve main-tained a solid foundation thatwe can be proud of.”

Many community theaters have a lifespan of seven years, but Murray’s com-munity theater has been a major force inthe city for more than 30 years. Throughthe help of Murray’s citizens it contin-ues to stand strong.Playhouse in the Park, located at a for-

mer train depot, continues to provide thecommunity with family-friendly enter-tainment through its musicals and playsand gives educational opportunities withtheater programs for community mem-bers of all ages.Lisa Cope, executive director of Play-

house in the Park, has worked at the the-ater since 2009. She works hard puttingtogether programs and fundraisers tokeep the theatre going.“Our education program has really

grown over the past few years,” Copesaid. “We have programs in place rightnow starting with first graders all theway through senior citizens.”“Old Duffers and Powderpuffers” is a

theater program for senior citizens andwas started two years ago. “Pail of Tad-poles” involves children ages 6-11 and“Box of Frogs” is for youth ages 12-18.Both programs meet in 12-week ses-sions throughout the year. There is alsoan annual children’s theater camp forboth age groups and the camp endswith a children’s.“I have parents tell me all the time

about things that their kids get from par-ticipating in Playhouse in the Park,” Cope

said. “They learn so many life skills thatthey use forever, public speaking, theylearn to work as a team, and they learn tobe dependable and I think we change alot of lives in that way.”She said Playhouse in the Park pro-

duces six productions a year and the se-lection of these productions can be achallenge. A show selection committee isput together every year to read throughplays, listen to songs and pick the finalsix shows for the season, which can be adaunting process.Jana Little, volunteer at Playhouse in

the Park, has worked on several showsfor the last 6 years and was a part of theshow selection committee this year. Shelearned the challenges of choosing ashow for the Murray community.“It’s very difficult because there’s so

many things to consider before you de-cide to do a play,” Little said. “We’re veryparticular about not crossing lines andtrying not to offend anyone.”Stephen Keene, AIMS coordinator, has

directed shows at the theater and hasserved on the board, the show selectioncommittee and has helped with variousfundraisers.Whendirecting a show, he cre-ates a schedule leading up to the produc-tion andmakes sure he has a hard-workinggroup of people working on the show.“I generally try to create a schedule

that will allow me to accomplish thethings that I need to accomplish,”Keene said. “The people that I alwaystry to get to work with me as far astechnical positions, I try to make sure

that they’re very dedicated to whatthey’re doing and that they can achieveall of the things that I am trying to getthem to do, so it’s a team effort.”Playhouse is a non-profit organiza-

tion that gets most of its funding frommembers of the community and variousfundraisers. Murray Dance Stars is anew fundraiser that started last yearand it is based off of the television show“Dancing with the Stars.”“We get our local celebrities and

they’re the stars and match them upwith people who are experienced withchoreography,” Cope said. “Dancershave raised money leading up to theevent and then at the event each coupleperforms their routine and people whoare there vote for the dancers with thedollars. It’s a fun event and we raised$6,300 dollars in one night.”The community has given time, money

andmany of the props and costumes usedin the productions as well. The commu-nity’s support has been a key factor in thetheater’s success and it gives somuch backto the community in return.“We entertain people and we do it re-

ally well here. I’m amazed all the time atthe talent that comes through here, Ithink it’s phenomenal,” Cope said. “Play-house makes theater very accessible topeople that otherwise wouldn’t get to seeshows, certainly wouldn’t get to partici-pate in them. I think community theateris a wonderful, wonderful thing and Ithink it’s important that we make thatavailable to everybody.”
