Delta State begins new record engineering program
The Music Department at Delta State University, chaired by Dr. David Schubert, is expanding by creating a new program called the Delta Music Institute (DMI). The DMI will involve hands-on digital editing and recording training for undergraduate students. The DMI, directed by Dr. Alphonso Sanders-professor of Jazz Studies at DSU, will be advised by a board of several experienced recording engineers from across the United States. This board will be chaired by Norbert Putnam, who has performed with artists such as Elvis and J.J.

Norbert Putnam

Cale and has recorded and produced such musicians as Joan Baez, Dan Fogelberg, Jimmy Buffet and many others. Putnam, a recipient of 24 gold and platinum albums, will be active in the design and operation of the DMI. Planning of the DMI began with a generous donation of $100,000 from Viking Range. Whitfield Gymnasium on the DSU campus will house smaller isolated studios as well as a large space that can accommodate full symphony orchestras. For more information, contact Dr. Alphonso Sanders or Dr. David Schubert at 846-4615.

Explore the Delta: The placethe mindset
The Mississippi Delta enjoys a rich history. Once wilderness and swamp cleared for cotton, it was transformed by plantation living. Powered by politics and peopled by a variety of ethnic groups the area gave rise to blues and gospel music, soul food, and the Civil Rights movement.

Delta State University's Division of Continuing Education invites you to participate in a new course July 7-11. Spend a week exploring a different Delta location every day. As a group you'll study the many historical landmarks, listen to countless stories, and understand the impact of the past on life in the Delta today.

This course can be taken for college credit or continuing education units. Cost for the course is based on enrollment ($250.00 for CEU credit, $390.00 for undergraduate credit, $490.00 for graduate credit). Instructors include Dr. Luther Brown, Director of Delta State's Delta Center for Culture and Learning and Dr. John Thornell, DSU Provost and History Professor.

This is an intensive field study course meeting from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily July 7-10. Friday, July 11, class ends at noon.
