To news directors, editors, producers, and reporters:

On Wednesday evening, Feb. 6, the History 399 class, “The 1960s,” taught by Jerry Holt, Ph.D., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Shawnee State University, will welcome a very special guest, Keith Newman, host of public radio's "Below The Salt," to the SSU campus.

Newman has created a real treat for the class; he'll be lecturing on the historical/sociological significance of the music of that decade, and he has a real sound extravaganza to go along with his comments.

Members of the media and local and regional communities are invited to attend.  Newman's "Magic Carpet Ride" musical tour of the 1960s will begin at 6 p.m. and take place in Clark Memorial Library Room 205.

This will make for a great article or news story.  Call the SSU Office of Communications for more information.
