Jackson, Tenn. –
July 10, 2000 – 51ÉçÇø has announced that legendary
game show host, Tom Kennedy, will match one of the communications
scholarships offered to Union upperclassmen by the Union Broadcasting
Society and will bear Kennedy's name. The society is the student broadcast
organization at Union.
 For
the past year, Kennedy, a veteran of more than 16 game shows, including
"Name That Tune," "Password Plus," and "You Don't
Say," has viewed Union students' production of the game show
"I've Heard That Song!" and has offered advice and critiques.
"Today I find myself being honored by having my name attached to a
scholarship fund to be called "The Tom Kennedy Broadcasting
Scholarship, a cloak I am unused to," said Kennedy, when told of the
naming. "To parody a song title of yore - I am betwitched, flattered
and beholden."
The first-year award this fall will be divided between two
upperclassmen-rank students.
