{Lexington, Kentucky}...Friends of Coal will continue its public relations campaign this weekend by serving as signature sponsor for the University of Kentucky vs. Mississippi State football game. Kentucky Coal Association President Bill Bissett says the campaign is aimed at educating people about the importance of coal in maintaining an affordable supply of electricity. More than 58,000 people have purchased "Friends of Coal" license plates, generating money that paid for $75,000 in scholarships to UK engineering students last year. The total for the next round of scholarships will be announced at halftime during Saturday's game.
