The school was known as Indiana State Normal School from 1870 until 1927, CHIEF OUBACHI Indiana State's athletic teams have a new mascot thls season, an lndian known as Chief Oubachi (pronounced wee-BOTCH-ee). The need for a mas- cot was voiced by the ISU Board of Trustees and the Athletic Department, and the Student Government Associa- tion named a committee headed by SGA member Robert W. Green, a junior history major from West Lafayette, to come up with a suitable mascot. After several months of study and consideration of most animals and sym- bols used ,as mascots, the committee decided that an Indian would be the most appropriate mascot for the Syca- more athletic teams. The decision was based primarily on the historical signi- ficance of lndians in the Wabash Valley. Oubachi was the name chosen by the committee. The name appears in some early writings of the famous explorer, LaSalle, back in the early 1700s. It was his (the French) way of spelling the name (Wabash) glven to a federation of lndians along the rlver valley made up of Miami, Wea and Kickapoo tribes. Following the committee's study, a resolution adopting Chief Oubachi as the official lndlana State mascot was passed by the Student Government Association. It was also decided that the team name of "Sycamores" would not change, but only a mascot would be added. Drawings were then subm~ttedto the committee in a campus-wide contest to des~gnthe clothes and war bonnet to be worn by Ch~efOubachi. The winn~ng drawing was subm~ttedby Brian Easton, a junior economics major from Bicknell, and he was awarded a $50 cash prize for his effort. The draw~ngwill also serve as the basis from which the decals and uniform patches w~llbe made. Next came the selection of the person to be Chief Oubachl, and again, a campus-wide contest was conducted. The eventual winner of the contest was Jonn Mellinger, a junior theatre major from Veedersburg. An alternate, to appear in the event that Mell~ngercan not, is Brady Lawrence, a sophomore pre-law major from Fort Wayne. Chlef Oubachl will appear at every lndlana State football and basketball game, home and away, and make other appearances at such functions as parades and pep rallies.

ORIGIN OF SYCAMORES

The name "Sycdmores" was adopted by a student body general election In 1921. A contest was started that year for a school name to be selected on Blue and White Day, a forerunner to Homecoming. The names were to be submitted to a committee of four, with that group's top three cho~cesbe~ng placed before the student body In a campus wide electlon. The name Sycamores was among the three flnallsts submitted. Although it was roundly booed when placed on the ballot, the students, In an apparent joke, gave the name a one-sided vlctory In the electlon. The winner of the contest recelved $3 as flrst pr~zefor h~sentry The name was first used January 3, 1922, in the Normal Advance, predecessor of The Statesman, present campus newspdper. -4- DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS HEAD COACH STAUFFER

ASSISTANT TRAINER THE "UGH AWARD" Ray Baggett

lndiana State basketball coach Gordon Stauffer has stated about defense, "Pressure is the key word on defense. We must constantly keep the pressure on the offense. We must control the ball even on defense, by guarding the man when he gets the ball, not after he gets the ball, and by not allowing a second, third or fourth shot by an opponent." In keeping with this philosophy, Stauffer initiated an eight-station circuit program on defense during the early season practice this fall to help school the Sycamore basketball players in the fundamentals of defense. The Sycamore mentor has also initiated a new award for each contest this winter. It's called the "Ugh Award", in keeping with the Indian theme adopted by all lndiana State athletic teams this year. The award will go, after each game, to that lndiana State player, who in the minds of the writers and broadcasters covering each game, was the outstanding defensive player for the Sycamores that particular night. Near the end of each game, those writers and broadcasters will be polled and they will in turn name the winner of the "Ugh Award." roof in the world.

Indiana State University will be facing, without a doubt, the toughest schedule this winter ever presented to a Sycamore basketball team. Included on that schedule are Missouri Valley Conference powerhouse teams from Cincinnati and Bradley; NIT team Southern Illinois (twice), perennial Big Eight power Kansas State; the Mid American Conference's Western Michigan; Pepperdine, one of the toughest teams on the West Coast; North Central Conference favorite South Dakota; national NCAA College champion Kentucky Wesleyan; NCAA runnerup Southwest Missouri State (twice); always powerful Evansville (twice); arch-rivals Butler and Ball State (each twice) as well as a vastly-improved Northern Illinois (twice); Illinois State; Eastern Illinois; Central Michigan; Valparaiso; Southern Alabama; Western Illinois and Eastern Michigan. .Coach Gordon Stauffer has stated that he feels the key to this year's team is how well the "big men" pan out. The players in this catagory include 6-10 Larry Sample, 6-7 Joe Williams, 6-7 Paul Siebenmorgen, 6-6 Mike Vincent, 6-5 Tom Thompson, 6-5 Larry Lamb and 6-4 veteran Don Weirich. The Sycamores would seem pretty well set for guards and forwards. Stauffer has returning regulars in 6-2 George Pillow and 6-4 Bob Barker at forwards, while 5-1 1 Rod Hervey is a returning regular at guard, and 6-0 Howard Humes was a regular guard on the NCAA runnerup team two years ago and is now trying to make a comeback after sitting out a year recovering from knee surgery. Other lettermen returning find 5-10 junior guard Steve Brett, the 6-4 Weirich at forward or center, and 6-3 Gregg Ritchie at forward. Brett, Ritchie, Pillow and Barker are juniors, while Hervey, Weirich and Humes are seniors. Say the word "sophomore" and Stauffer lights up. He says he feels the Sycamores have an outstanding sophomore group, led by guards Dan Bush and Paul Stroud, 6-0 and 64 respectievly. Either or both could win a starting role this year. Other top sophomore prospects include the aforementioned Sample, 5-10 guard Howard Williams, 6-3 guard-forward Rob Simmons, 6-3 guard-forward Bob Adkins, 6-3 forward Jim Poe, 5-11 guard Mike Turner, and Lamb and Vincent. In Pillow and Barker, the Sycamores have the number two and three scoring leaders and number one and three rebound leaders returning from last year. Sophomores Stroud, Bush, Poe, Simmons, Lamb and Vincent ranked one through six in scoring for the 8-5 frosh team last year, and Poe and Lamb ranked one-two in rebounding. The presence of Sample, Joe Williams and Siebenmorgen gives the ISU cagers height, the likes of which haven't been seen in a long time. The Sycamores should be as potent ofiensively this season as they were last year, and the defense should be even stronger. The key then, is the rebounding, and the hopes are that one of, or a combination of, the big men can handle this job adequately. If the Sycamore rebounding comes through, lndiana State will be a tough team to handle on any given night this winter.
