WESTERN KENTUCKY STATE COLLEGE Aerial View Of Western Campus Over the years since it was founded in 1906, Western Kentucky State College has compiled a solid record of service to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Western was originally created for the sole purpose of traioing teachers for the elementary and secondary schools of Kentucky, but has steadily increased the scope of its academic program to meet the expanding needs of its students. The College now offers three four-year undergraduate degrees, one two-year undergraduate degree and one graduate degree with course offerings in twenty-seven different departments. The enrollment at Western this fall was again expected to be at an all-time high, over 7,000 students. This is more than four times the enrollment of only ten years ago. To keep pace with this increasing number of students, Western is currently in the midst of the greatest building program in its history. The reconstructed and enlarged Paul L. Garrett Student Center and the Margie Helm Library, reconstructed from the former Physical Education Building, were both opened this year. A new classroom building will be completed within the current academic year and three new dormitories were begun this fall. In the planning stages is a new athletic complex that will contain a new stadium, baseball field, tennls ·courts and other facilities. Expansion of Thompson Science Hall and a new Administration Building are also planned. Western's l41-acre campus, recognized as one of the most beautiful in the nation, is crowned by a commanding hill, from which Hilltopper athletic teams derive their nickname. It presents a marvelous view from any entrance to the city. 2 1965 HILLTOPPER FOOTBALL Index AlI-OVC Players ...... _.. _..... _... _._.. ....... _.... ............... _......... _.. .................... 30 Athletic Director Ted Hornback ............................................................ 4 Attendance Figures ....................................................... _...... .. _... _........... 1 Bowl Appearances ............... _..... ...............................
