Situated at the northeast edge of the city of Bowling Green, the university campus contains approximately 900 acres, 60 permanent buildings, with more under construction, and all the modern equipment and facilities needed for conducting an accredited university program. The enrollment at the beginning of the 1964-65 academic year was 10,535, including branches, with students from 81 of Ohio's counties, 48 of the states and the District of Columbia plus 31 foreign countries. THE CAMPUS Bowling Green's campus includes a 14,000-seat football stadium, a 5,700-seat basketball arena, a nine-hole golf course, 19 tennis courts, CAA-approved airport with surfaced runways, speech and hearing clinic, reading center, a library with volumes in excess of 240,000, a chapel and other educational facilities. Eighteen fraternities and 12 sororities are located on campus along with eight residence centers that accommodate most of the university's students. Bowling Green is expanding its plant to provide the best possible environment for university life and to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment. Since 1955, 16 buildings, Rogers Quadrangle, Alice Prout Residence Hall, Hall of Music, Founders Quadrangle, University Union, Home Economics Building, South Hall, Overman Hall, Fine Arts Building, Memorial Hall, Conklin Quadrangle, Administration Building, Commons Dining Center, Kohl Hall addition, McDonald Quadrangle and Harshman Quad- rangle have been completed. FUTURE PLANS Buildings to be completed in the near future include a new university library, three units of a six-phase science research complex, a 1,400-student residence center, a student health center, a television production studio, student services building and an athletic area, including a stadium and ice arena. The first classes started at Bowling Green in 1914 with a faculty of 21 and an enrollment of 304. No significant expansion came until 1929 when Ohio's General Assembly renamed the school Bowling Green State College and provided funds for the development of a liberal arts college offering professional and pre-professional training. The school was renamed Bowling Green State University in 1935 as other undergraduate schools and the graduate school were added. Today, the university is composed of three undergraduate colleges, College of Liberal Arts, College of Education and Col- lege of Business Administration, along with the Graduate School that offers master's degrees in five fields plus a Doctor of Philosophy degree. The four-year undergraduate programs lead to Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Edu- cation, Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Bachelor of Music degrees. 1965 SCHEDULE Date Opponent Time Sept 18 CALIFORNIA STATE-Los Angeles 1:30 p.m. Sept 25 at West Texas State .... 8:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at University of Dayton .. 8:00 p.m. Oct. 9* WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY ...1:30 p.m. Oct. 16* UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO 1:30 p.m. (Homecoming) Oct. 23* at Kent State University l:30 p.m. Oct. 30* MIAMI UNIVERSITY i:30 p.m (Dad's Day) Nov. 6* at Marshall University __ .2:00 p.m. Nov. 13* at Ohio University _ ...1:30 p.m. * denotes Mid-American Conference games. 1964 RESULTS (9-1 Overall and 5-1 MAC) Bowling Green Opponents 35 Southern Illinois 12 21 North Texas State 7 35 Dayton .... o 28 Western Michigan 8 31 Toledo ____ 14 41 Kent State 0 21 Miami 18 28 Marshall o 0 Ohio University 21 35 Xavier _____ __ 7 FINAL 1964 MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE STANDINGS MAC ALL GAMES Team W L T Pet.

New head coach Bob Gibson is working with .21 lettermcn from the 1964 team that finished with a 9-1 overall record and took the Mid-American Conference crown with a 5-1 slate. However, 14 of the veterans are linemen while four of the re- turning backs were defensive specialists in '64. For this reason, Gibson is giving plenty of thought to using Williams and Luettke, a pair of 240 pounders, in the same backfield. Williams was an All Mid-American Conference selec- tion last season as he gained 609 yards in 109 carries for a 5.6 average. Luettke was all but unstoppable with the 1964 frosh as he gained 569 yards in 89 carries for a 6.4 mark. Last year, the line presented most of the problems for Bowling Green's coaching staff but the shoe is on the other foot this season. Aside from Williams, the other veteran offensive backs are halfback Bob Pratt, who gained 175 yards in 1964, and quarterback Dwight Wallace, who served as Jerry Ward's under- study last season. However, the backfield problems may not be as deep as they seem at first glance with the University of Detroit transfer student Dick Waring and rapidly improving Ray Fielitz set for plenty of quarterbacking along with Wallace. At halfback, Mike Weger, who lettered as a defensive specialist in '64, will get an offensive shot this year. Weger stands 6-2 and weighs 190. With two veterans at every line position, the problems there for Gibson and his staff are few and far between. According to the preseason depth chart the starting line of ends Jamie Rivers and John Jennings, tackles Jerry Jones and Bill Earhart, guards John Sohn and Jim Violet plus center Heath Wingate, averages over 220 pounds. The squad breakdown shows 15 seniors, 23 juniors and 30 sophomores. The 21 letter winners figure to get their help from 17 1964 varsity reserves and 23 '64 frosh award winners plus transfer students. THE ENDS (4 lettermen—2 seniors, 3 juniors, 5 sophomores) The problems at the end positions should prove to be just minor with four veterans and some outstanding sophomores at the slots. The best of the ends figure to be All Mid-American selection Jamie Rivers (210) and John Jennings (215) , both two- way performers.
