The old Stephen F. Austin Hotel, where I stayed for the first five years at the tournament was remodeled and renamed. The cost became outrageous there, so we no longer enjoyed staying downtown. Today the Hotel is called InterContinental Stephen F. Austin. Visiting Sixth street became popular and I continued to eat at the Waterloo Ice House. The main attraction in those days was playing at Gregory Gym on the campus of U.T. We always had great pickup games at the student activity center, located right next to Gregory. Jogging was also another passion of mine. Town Lake provided great running trails just south of downtown Austin. Coaching clinics became the norm, as I continued to learn the game. Great times. The person who had the greatest impact on my life was my brother-in-law. This book is dedicated to him. At the age of 10, he began coming over to the house dating my older sister. He was like a family member. For the next twenty years he influenced all aspects of my life.

    22SHOCKER VOLLEYBALL The History of WuShock It was in 1904 when Wichita State University was known as Fairmount Col- lege that R.J. Kirk (Class of 1907), a football manager, invented the name “Wheat Shockers” for posters to advertise a game against the Chilocco Indians. Kirk had put the word “Indians” under the name Chilocco and a press agent for the Wichita Fall Festival, helping to publicize the contest, demanded that Kirk should produce a nickname for Fairmount to balance the poster. In those days, when wheat was shocked or headed, the majority of the players earned a stake for college expenses by working all summer in the harvest and threshing and came back tough enough to play 60-minute games. Although the name was never officially adopted, it caught on, was com- bined into one word, and survived until it was shortened to “Shockers” as Wichita State teams are known today. The story of WuShock began in 1948. Wichita University students of the art department were invited by Kappa Pi art fraternity to compete in the creation of a design to typify the spirit of the school. Walter Lengel’s design students were given the assignment as a re- quirement of his class. The entries were to be judged by members of the student publications board. The contest was wide open...no theme was established. Wilbur Elsea, a junior who had been a Marine during World War II, de- cided that, “the school needed a mascot who gave a tough impres- sion...with a serious, no-nonsense scowl.” And his design for the WuSh- ock character was adopted.
