"A noble tradition of excellence has been estab­ lished •.Now we have the responsibility not only to cor.tinue that legacy but also to enlarge and enrich it."-President Harold E. Sponberg Eastern's Freshman Class Excels "This year's freshman class is the finest in Eastern Michigan University's history," according to the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aids, Ralph F. Gilden. "The class is about the same size as last year's freshman class-approximately 3,000 students. Of these students, about 97 per cent live in Michigan." "Each year since 1957, approximately 90 per cent of the members of freshman classes have ranked in the top one-half of their high school classes, and 75 per cent were in the top quarter of their classes," Dean Gilden added. Almost 15,000 students are enrolled at the University this fall. Of this number, 11,700 are undergraduates and 3,300 are graduate students. The Office of Admissions received 7,208 new applications for admission for the fall semester. However, 1,140 students later cancelled their applications. The Office denied entrance to 2,293 stu­ dents (1,790 freshmen and 528 transfer students) because counselors felt that the students could not succeed at the Univer­ sity. These decisions were based on high school or junior college grade point aver­ ages, College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, mental stability, personality and various reports and evaluations from the student's respec· tive schools. "Although the wa1t1ng list for fall ad­ missions reached 1,193 during the summer, no student was denied entrance because of space," Dean Gilden reports. From this waiting list, transfer students from junior and community colleges were considered for admission first, followed by upper class­ men seeking re-admission and finally fresh­ men students with no previous credits.

Vice President for Public Affairs Carl R. Anderson, David W. Mullins, President who plans to retire next year, came to EMU in 1946 as University of Arkansas an assistant professor of history.

Anderson used to know every faculty member and about half the students by their first names, he recalls. But that's impossible today, with 720 faculty members and 14,700 students. The University is expanding to the north and to its new west campus in a rapid construction program to keep up with the student growth. Its master development plan calls for a central core of academic buildings in the old campus area with new residence halls on the undeveloped land to the north. Briggs Field will make way for a science complex and new baseball, football and track facilities, including a 25,000-seat stadium, are being constructed on the west campus. Central campus parking lots are also making way for Starkweather Hall new construction, with a shuttle bus carrying students Starkweather Hall was erected in 1897 as the home of between large parking lots on the campus periphery and .student religious activities at the University.

This year the EMU operating budget is $16.7 million. In 1960, it was about $5 million. University officials cite improved quality in academic programs, an expanded graduate study program, a bet­ ter image for the University, an increasing number of college-bound students and optimum location as pri­ mary reasons for the rapid expansion. "We used to think our location was poor because we were sandwiched between U-M and Wayne," Dean of Admissions Ralph F. Gilden says. "Now, Southeastern Michigan is the hot spot of the state." When and where will the growth stop? An enrollment of 26,000 is the ceiling that officials are

11 Outstanding High School Hurdler Attending Eastern

In the summer of 1956, a high school track star at Pon­ tiac Central High School with a recognized potential for greatness decided to attend Eastern Michigan University. That track star, Hayes Jones, carried the green and white banner of Eastern Michigan far and wide as he set records racing down the cinderpaths and over the hurdles. The climax of Jones' fabulous career came when he was awarded a gold medal at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The medal came for a winning effort in the llO meter hurdles with a time of 13.4 seconds. Now eleven years later another Pontiac Central hurdler is prepared to follow the same path to greatness chosen by Jones. It could be that young Bill Tipton, last year's foremost schoolboy hurdler and now a freshman on the Ypsilanti campus, could provide the Hurons with another Olympic champion. This might be a big order for just any boy. But Tipton is not just another fledgling track star. The slightly built 18-year-old wonder has accomplished many amazing things in his brief career. Tipton proved to one and all that he deserved the number one high school rating when he won both the high and low events at the Golden West Invitational High School Track Meet this past summer in California. The trophies brought back from the west add to the growing collection in the Tipton trophy case. Twice Bill was the Michigan high school hurdle champion. Last year, he won the Huron Relays championship on the Bowen Field House track which he hopes will be the scene of many future triumphs; then last summer he erased the records set by Richmond Flowers, now one of the nation's top collegiate hurdlers, when he was clocked in 18.4 seconds in the low hurdles and 13.4 in the highs at the National Jaycee Meet in Des Moines, Iowa. Tipton is also the type of youth and athlete with which all E.M.U. alumni can be proud to identify. He is a trim appearing,.soft spoken, studious person who has thought­ ful convictions on most subjects. He received an Award of Merit from Sports Illus­ trated magazine recently. His photograph appeared m the "Faces in the Crowd" section of the September 18 magazme. The freshman turned down collegiate offers from some 66 other schools including some of the big names in col­ legiate sports to attend Eastern Michigan. Asked why, Tipton replied, "Because Eastern Michigan has a great track program and great coaching." The trail has been blazed by an Olympic Champion and now along comes another who could rise to even greater Bill Tipton heights. -John Fountain

12 New Coach Leads "Hurons" To Victory

By John Fountain (EMU Sports Information Director) The Eastern Michigan University gridders with six straight victories jumped off to their finest football start in years under the guidance of first-year coach Dan Boisture. The former high school star, collegiate gridder, Marine veteran and top assistant at Michigan State brought a lifelong background of dedication to athletics and a tra­ dition of building winning teams with him when he moved to the Huron campus on August 1. At Michigan State, he helped to develop a seemingly Dan Boisture endless list of collegiate All-Americans. During the three­ year span he served as defensive backfield coach, Boisture worked with such outstanding backs as Herb Adderley, you'll hear pads hit.

22 University Development Director Answers Questions About l(eystone Campaign • • •

John Bruce, director of Alumni Relations and Univer­ required to mee't modern day demands. sity Development, was interviewed recently concerning Before pledging themselves to an institu­ tion corporations and foundations examine questions that alumni and other interested persons might alumni support closely. Their thesis is if the have about Eastern's Annual Fund. alumni will not support her, then why should The goal of the "Keystone Campaign-The Challenge we.

Interviewer: HOW WILL THE KEYSTONE CAMPAIGN BE GOVERNED AND CONDUCTED? John Bruce. "The Keystone Campaign is governed by a Board of Directors composed of approxi­ mately twenty-five alumni and friends of the University. This will be our policy-making Board. Those who have accepted our invita­ tion to serve on the Keystone Campaign Board of Directors and who met for the first time October 13 are identified within this issue of the Alumni Magazine. "Regional chairmen to oversee local fund efforts will be appointed soon. Local chair­ men also will be asked to serve. Local tele­ phone calling campaigns and direct mail solicitation will be the main line of com­ munication." Interviewer: WHY SHOULD I CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAMPAIGN?

John Bruce: "Yes. You will note that the donor categories are defined to encourage annual giving over a four-year period. Amounts below the donor category levels may also be pledges to the University over a period of time. The University fully recognizes that financial ca­ pability, family size and many other factors influence on individual's ability to con­ tribute." Interviewer: MAY I GIVE OTHER THAN A MONETARY GIFT? John Bruce: "Certainly. Often, substantial tax savings can be realized by considering the possibility of contributing property (real estate, stocks and bonds, art work, etc.) which hos substantially increased in value over the original purchase price. The University is always willing to discuss the possibility of contributing articles or items other than monetary gifts." Interviewer: WHEN WILL I BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE? John Bruce: "The campaign begins with this issue of the Alumni Magazine. You will find, within the body of this publication, a contribution form requesting your involvement in the cam­ paign. Our effort will continue through this

24 year, and each issue of the Alumni Maga­ zine will report the progress achieved. There will be solicitations other than the one in­ cluded in this publication and local calling campaigns from alumni in your geographic area will also be used to solicit your support." Interviewer: WILL I RECEIVE ANY SPECIAL PRIVILEGES FOR MY CONTRIBUTION? John Bruce: "There are three donor categories to identify alumni who have established an exemplary pattern of substantial giving-first the Uni­ versity Circle, then the President's Club and finally Men and Women of Eastern. It is our studied belief that any alumnus who is vitally interested in the welfare of his Alma Mater should find it financially possible 'to become a member of one of these dis­ tinguished donor categories. Special privi­ leges include those described on other pages of 'this issue; but for the alumnus, the true sense of privilege is the satisfaction of being dynamically involved in the progress of the institution.
