As rock music matured, artists began to explore and incorporate different styles of music into traditional rock 'n' roll, said Mark Sanford, music director for KOAI-FM, "The Oasis."

"Dance music went to Motown," Sanford said. "Rock went to blues and Southern country."

More seniors will graduate in May with University Honors than ever before, something the director of the Honors Program said is another small but paramount sign the program is improving.
