Page 2 -- Indiana State University Football Information About INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY Located on more than 50 acres in the heart of the City of Terre Haute, Indiana. near the famous "Banks of the Wabash," Indiana State University is a public, state tax-assisted, multi-purpose university offering undergraduate and graduate study in the arts and sciences, professional-vocational fields, and teacher education and school administration. Created by an Act of the Indiana General Assembly on December 20, 1865, the University first opened its doors on January 6, 1870, to 23 students. Known as Indiana State Normal School from 1870 to 1927, the name of the school has been changed three times to Indiana State Teachers College in 1927, to Indiana State College on July 7, 1961, and to Indiana State University on February 8, 1965. Each name change was in recognition of greater educational study opportunities offered by the school. Called one of the "fastest growing universities in the Midwest," Indiana State's enrollment over the 1953 to 1963 decade increased from 1,867 to 6,835 students. Enrollment for the fall of 1965 was expected to be 8,811 students. The growth of the University has necessitated. a continua~ly inc~easing.number of campas buildings and a bigger campus area. Over the last 15 years, buildings have been erected at a rapid pace, and 33 are now located on the general campus. A women's housing complex of three six-story halls included the completion of Burford Hall in 1959, Erickson Hall in 1962, and Picker! Hall in 1963. Two nine-story men's residence halls were also completed. Sandison Hall was opened in 1962, and Gillum Hall was finished in 1963. In the fall of 1964, two 12-story residence halls--Blumberg Hall for women and Beecher Cromwell Hall for men--were opened for the first time. Two similar 12-story residence halls- Mills Hall for women and Rhoads Hall for men--were opened in September, 1965. The nine above halls will provide housing for 3,300 students. Other construction completed in the 1960's include the Science Building in 1961 and Bookstore Building and Indiana State University Arena in 1962. The old Science Building was remodeled and completed in 1962 as the new home of the School of Business. The outstanding Indiana State University Arena and Physical Education Building was put into use for the first time in February, 1962, and officially dedicated in December, 1962. This building has a large gymnasium area which can be used as three gymns or converted into one large gym floor for basketball games and other events. The gym is serviced by two sections (one on east and one on west) of 30-row mechanized folding bleachers which provide seating for over 5,000 persons. These bleachers, in a retracted position, take up only five or six feet of floor space. 'Hhen extended, the bleachers take up about 60 feet of floor space. Additional end bleachers used in the gym increase the seating capacity to about 6,000 persons. The Arena-Physical Education Building also has a gymnastics room, wrestling room, several dressing rooms, a trainer's room, an equipment room, an Olympic type swimming pool with 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards, a suite of faculty offices, and three classrooms. The lower level of the building, the area directly under the huge Arena gym, is a dirt-covered area providing facilities for indoor track practice, baseball batting and pitching cages, and golf practice cages. Just south of the Arena are the six outdoor, grasstex-type tennis courts. In the summer of 1964, the new track and practice football field was completed on property on the west side of the Arena. The 30-feet wide track is a quarter mile with eight lanes and is of bituminous material--there are 100-yard straightaways. The broad jump and pole vault run-up ramps are also made of the special type bituminous material, and the shotput and discus throw points are constructed of concrete. Only special type short-spiked or rubber soled shoes are used on the bituminous material. Page 3 -- Indiana State tlni versi ty Football Construction started in the summer of 1964 on a new classroom building and a Married Student Apartment Building. The classroom building, due for completion in January, 1966, will have 32 classrooms, two 250-seat lecture rooms, two School of Nursing laboratories, a library reading room, and 98 faculty offices. The apartment building, the first of four to be constructed, is a four-story, three wing building with a total of 8o apartments--48 two-bedroom and 32 one-bedroom units. The apartment building vas ready for use in September, 1965. University officials are now planning an addition to the nev Science Building and a new Student Health Center Building. Academic reorganization and growth came with the establishment of the School of Education in 1960, School of Graduate Studies in 1961, College of Arts and Sciences and School of Nursing in 1962, Psychology Research Center, Computer Center, and Bureau of Business Research in 1963, the School of Business in 1964, and the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation in 1965. Plans are to establish a School of Industry. Doctor's degree programs leading to the Ph.D. degree are being launched in 1965 with the first programs being in elementary education, life sciences, and counseling-psychological services. Indiana State has varsity teams in football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, track, cross country, wrestling, swimming, and gymnastics. Intercollegiate schedules are maintained each year in these sports. Freshman students are not eligible to compete on any varsity teams, but there are freshman teams in most sports vi th limited schedules. Wrestling was added to the program five years ago, and gymnastics became a varsity sport three years ago, Indiana State and five other Indiana colleges and universities offica.illy organized the Indiana Collegiate Conference (ICC) in 1950. DePauw University was accepted as a seventh loop member in 1953. The ICC has been operating as a seven team conference since 1954, and full schedules in all sports for all ICC schools were first slated in the 1959-60 year. Indiana State College is also a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (N.A.I.A.} and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.).
