It is our pleasure to bring to you the Daily Titan-produced Cal State Fullerton 50th PRODUCTION DESIGNERS Anniversary issue. Jackie Kimmel and Raquel Stratton We have spent over six months buried in the Pollak Library Archives and Oral History offices digging up as much information as we could find to produce this publication.

This year marks a celebration of achievement. Five decades of construction, innovation DIRECTOR OF ADVERTISING and perseverance have made this campus unique and truly unforgettable. Stephanie Birditt Our school’s history is filled with both good times and tragedies. We tried to bring a sensible balance of both in this edition. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ADVERTISING To start this issue off we would like to give you a little background and trivia to help guide you through the pages to come. Sarah Oak In the last 50 years CSUF has had three name changes and one punctuation alteration. In 1957 Orange County State College was established, despite the fact that classes didn’t AD PRODUCTION/COVER DESIGN begin until 1959. The name changed first in 1962 to Orange State College, and in 1964 the Keith Hansen name changed yet again to California State College at Fullerton. CSUF finally became, and still remains, California State University, Fullerton, in 1972 when the “at” was replaced AD PRODUCTION DESIGNER with a comma. As you read this publication, for consistency purposes we reference the university Steve Kendall always as Cal State Fullerton or CSUF. The biggest fallacy we encoutered in our research is that many of the students of CSUF ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES believe the school colors are blue and orange. The first class of students decided on blue Emily Alford, Stephanie Birditt, and white as the official school colors. We are not sure how orange was added into the Ailin Buigues, Brenton Haerr, mix. Elizabeth Hernandez and Sarah Oak A fun piece of trivia we picked up was that the land for CSUF and the 57 Freeway were purchased at the same time, and according to an article we found in the Fullerton News Tribune in the early 1960s, the 57 Freeway was built to help the assumed traffic CSUF ADVERTISING ADVISER would bring to Fullerton. It seems to be coincidence that the freeway shares the same year Robert Sage (57) our university was founded.

The First Intercollegiate Elephant Race in Human History

BY Travis Taylor CSUF 50th Anniversary Staff Writer

In the middle of the afternoon on May 11, 1962, Cal State Fullerton hosted around 10,000 people from across the country as they lined either side of an open cornfield that was dubbed “Dumbo Downs.” A roar rumbled through the crowd as 15 elephants, along with riders, careened along Dumbo Downs to the finish line. The ground shook beneath their massive feet, and the air was filled with their majestic call. It was the birth of an international event and a crowning achievement for a young school. It was the First Intercollegiate Elephant Race in human history, and it was the birth of what would become CSUF. CSUF began as Orange County State College in September 1959. William B. Langsdorf was the appointed founding president. In February 1962, the Dean of Students office issued a model constitution for potential clubs on campus to sculpt themselves after. The fake club used in the constitution was called the “Elephant Racing Club.” But several students seized the opportunity to start a club with a model constitution already in place and began the real Elephant Racing Club. An April 6, 1962, Photo courtsey of Archives and Special Collections and Oral History Offices newsletter for the Associated Pictured above is Orange County State College’s (Cal State Fullerton) elephant, No. 9, waiting to race at the first intercollegiate elephant races.

McCarthy Hall, formerly known as the Letters and Sciences Building, is more than just an ordinary building. Completed Sept. 1, 1963, it was Cal State Fullerton’s first permanent building and set the stage for the future and expansion of the university. In the years McCarthy Hall was being built, it was uncommon for a state college’s faculty members to do research, because that was left to the faculty of the UC schools. Miles D. McCarthy, former university president and CSUF founding faculty member, was determined to change this. When the building was dedicated to him at the school’s 25th anniversary, he said that Photo Courtsey of CSUF archives and special collections he had planned for several A view of the Letters and Sciences Building, a.k.a.
