DERO G. DOWNING President

President Downing, one of Kentucky's best known edu­cators, on Sept. 12, 1969. assumed his new duties as head of Western Kentucky University. He is only the fourth President in the 63-year history of the institution.

The appointment of President Downing fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Dr. K elly Thompson, who had served as Western's chief administrator since 1955.

Before asswning the presidency. Mr. Downing served as the University's Vice President for Administrative Affairs since the post was created during the school's reorganization for morc efficient operation in 1965. He has held various other positions on the Western faculty and admistrative staff s ince 1946,

Just prior to his assuming the Vice Presidency. Presi­dent Downing served as Dean of Business Affairs for one year and as Dean of Admissions for two years.

A native of Horse Cave, Ky., he graduated in 1939 from Horse Cave High School, where he was president of the senior class, an excellent student, and a s tar member of the basketball team.

President Downing entered Western in September, 1939, and was graduated with the A.B. degree in mathematics in June, 1943. He was a prominent student leader in his undergraduate days, serving as president of the senior class, being elected to "Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities/ ' and compiling an excellent scholastic record.

He was also a star member of some of Coach E . A. Diddle's finest basketball teams, including Western's first teams to participate in the National Invitational Tournament in New York's Madison Square Garden.

After serving with the Navy through the remainder of World War II, he returned to Western in 1946 as a mathe­matics teacher and basketball coach at College High School, the high school division of Western's Training School.

He gave up his coaching duties in 1950 to devote fun time to teaching mathematics. In September, 1956, he was named Director of the Training School. President Downing was named Registrar at Western in 1959 and held that post until named Dean of Admissions in 1962.

He was awarded the M.A. degree by Western in 1947 and the Ed.S . degree by George Peabody College in 1958.

He is married to the former Harriett Eli zabeth Ya rnell. The Downings have five children and one grandchild.

a look at ...

Western Kentucky University

Western Kentucky Universi ty was established by an act of the Legislature of Kentucky in 1906. Originally created for the sale purpose of training teachers for the elementary and secondary schools of Kentucky, Western has steadily increased the scope of its academic programs to meet the expanding needs of its students.

Designated as a university by the K entucky Genera l Assembly on February 6, 1966, Western now consists of s ix colleges: The Bowling Green College of Commerce, The College of Applied Arts and Health Services, The College of Education, The Ogden College of Science and Tech­nology, The Potter College of Liberal Arts, and The Grad­uate College. The University now oHers four four-year undergraQuate degrees, two two-year undergraduate de­grees, and eight graduate degrees, with course offerings in thirty-four different departments.

Western's enrollment this fall was again at an all-time high, approximately 11,000 students, or nearly seven times the enrollment of 1955. The growth of the UniverSity's physical facilities, guided by a carefully organized 10ng­range development plan, is also one of unparalleled mag­nitude in Weslern's his tory.

Fourteen years ago the University's physical plant consisted of twenty major buildings on a campus of 128 acres with a total value of $10,000,000. Since that time, thirty major facilities have been constructed on a campus which now consists of 185 acres. Ten other major struc­tUres are currently being built or will be started in early 1970.

These will more than triple the num­ber of buildings on Western's campus in 1955 and, together with other improve­ments, will raise the total value of the physical plant to ap­proximately $94,000,-000.

Western's campus is recognized as one of the most beauti­ful in the nation and is crowned by a commanding hill from which Hilltop­per athletic teams derive their nick­name. It affords a view of the Univer­sity from almost any approach to the city of Bowling Green, a community of ap­proximately 36,000 people.

the head coach ••••

JIMMY FEIX - Head Coach

After serving 11 years as offen­sive coach under Nick Denes, Jimmy Feix took the Hilltopper helm from his fonner boss last year and finished the season with an impressive 7-2-1 record, good enough for a second-place tie in conference play.

An outstanding player in his own right, Feix led Western to some of its greatest seasons ever (1949-52) . His playing career was climaxed with his selection as Western's first football Little All-American in 1952 after quarterbacking the Hilltoppers to a tie for the ave championship. He added a win in the Refrigerator Bowl to the Hilitopper wreath of laurals that year when he led Western to victory over Arkansas State to boast the school's season record to 9-1.

In the process, Feix earned for him­self a trial with the New York Giants of the National Football League. As a pro, he was impressive in early drills before a serious injury ended his career.

Feix still holds the ave pass com­pletion percentage record with a mark of .631. In addition, he still owns 21 of Western's individual records for passing and total offense.

Under Feix's guidance, Western's offense has consistently been among the strongest in the ave. In the past six seasons, the Hilltoppers have led the league in total offense three times, in rushing offense four times, and passing offense once.

ROBBIE F RANKLIN - Assistant Head Coach

F ranklin, in h is second year on the Western staff, serves as the squad's defensive coord inator and coaches the linemen. He came to Western a fter three campaigns as a st.:"lndout lineman on University of Tennessee teams that won 20 games and captured two major bowl vic­tories. H is fine work with last yea r 's line was reflected not only in the Hilltoppers' league-leading defensive statistics, but in the fact that two Western defensive linemen were named to the All-OVe team.

ART ZELEZNIK - Offensive Coord inator

Although in charge of the overall offense, Zeleznik spends most of his time working w ith the offensive backfield . Also a second-year man on the Hilltopper staff, he came to Western following successful coach ing stints at three Ohio high schools and at Xavier Uni­versity, where he was an assistant. As a collegiate player, the P ennsylvanian was a four- year letterman at quarterback for some of the great powerhouses assem­ble at Wittenberg Unive rsi ty.

J ACKI E POPE - Defensive Backfield

Also in his second year of college coach ing, P ope came to WKU last year from Brainerd High School in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he served as an ass istant two seasons. Sinee joining the Hi11 topper staH, he has proven his ab il ity by helping to develop a tru ly outs tand ing de fensive secondary. A high school All-Ame rican ta il­back, Pope lettered one year at the Unive rsity of Tennessee before transferring to Hilltopper ove r ival Mildle Tennessee, where he starred from 1962 through 1964.

BUTCH GILBERT - Offensive Line

A newcomer to the HiUtopper coaching ranks, Gilbert brings to WKU a wealth of experience gained both in a Weste rn uniform and as a high school coach for 17 years.. The Bowling Green native was an outstanding center for the Hilltoppers from 1948 through 1951, earning AII-OVe honors as a senior. He was a teamma te of present head coach J immy F eix three of his seasons at Western. He has spent the past six years a t nea rby Glasgow High School, where his teams com­piled a rather impressive 41-23-4 record.

LEE MURRAY - Orrensive Receivers

Another new face is that of Lee Murray, head coach at Louisville Shawnee high school for the past three years. The Alabama native also is r eturning to his a lma ma ter whe re he starred a t end for the Hilltoppers in 1961 and 1962. He w as captain of the 1962 team and is the only gridder to have been named Western's Most Va luable P laye r for two successive seasons.

BOWLING GREEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE and the GRADUATE COLLEGE

BOWLING GREEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Beginning in the early 1960's the

Community College Division of West­

ern Kentucky University was the

vehicle through which evening classes

were offered. These offerings were de­

signed to accommodate the needs of

adults in Bowling Green and in the

surrounding area. This program was

reconstructed and restyled in 1968 as

the Bowling Green Community College.

The present organizational pattern

is similar to the Graduate College in

that the Community College has no specific faculty or facilities. The Com­

munity College works through the de­

partments and other colleges of the

University and is headed by a director,

Mr. Paul B. Cook, who is directly re­

sponsible to the Vice President of

Academic Affairs.

At the present time the Associate of Arts Degree in agriculture techno­logy and management, data processing,

industrial technology, small business

management, and secretarial science;

and the Associate of Science Degree

in nursing, civil engineering, electrial

engineering, and mechanical engineer­ing are offered through the Bowling

Green Community College. Certificate

and one year programs in secretarial

science and real estate also are offered.

Today's Opponent

TENNESSEE "TECH Tennessee Technological University

celebrated its Golden Anniversary in 1965. It was established by an act of the General Assembly in 1915, under the name of Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, and opened its doors to stu­dents on Sept. 14, 1916. The growth of the institution has been closely inter­woven with the development of the upper Cumberland region of Ten­nessee. The college began operation on the campus which had belonged to Dixie College, a private institution founded in 1911, with $75,000 being appropriated by Putnam County and the City of Cookeville for the pur­chase of the campus property and the erection of two dormitories.

Most of its first-year students were either high school or junior high stu­dents; there were only 19 college stu­dents enrolled during the entire 1916-17 school year--compar ed to mor e than 6,000 enrolled today. For several years, Tech fielded athletic teams

made up mostly of high school stu­dents and played secondary and prep school teams.

Until 1924, Tech offered work only on the high school and junior college level. It was authorized to give a compete four-year college program in 1928-29 and conferred its first bachelor's degrees in 1929.

In 1949, the un­dergraduate cur­riculum was or­ganized into five undergraduate schools, and the Graduate School was added in 1958. Tech was elevat­ed to university status by the 1965 General Assembly Dr. Everett and officially be- Derryberry came Tennessee President Technological University.

Engineering and science still are major fields of study at Tech, but the University also has large numbers of students enrolled in the colleges of business, teacher education, agricul­ture and home economics, and arts and sciences. Tech offers the Bachelor of Arts as well as the Bachelor of Science degree and has non-technical majors in such fields of study as Eng­lish, journalism, history and political science, sociology, math, and foreign languages.

Although the state colleges control­led by the Tennessee Board of Edu­cation are strictly non-sectar ian, the fostering of religious life and the de­velopment of Christian character are part of the institution's conunitment to its students.

HILLTOPPER HALFTIME

Today's Homecoming Halftime finds the "Big Red" Marching Band paying tribute to University President Dero G. Downing and his recently-retired predecessor, Kelly Thompson.

"The Presidents' Show" opens to the tune of "Strike Up The Band" , "Say It With Music", "My Old Ken­tucky Home" and Western's own "Stand Up and Chee r", Accompanied by "Thanks For The Memories" the band transfonns from its WKU form to take the shape of a lamp for a medley featuring those nosta lgic school favorites "Pomp and Circumstance" and "Halls of Ivy".

The marching musicians will then present a "Presidents' Concert Med­ley" featuring a clarinet solo by David Livingston of Western's Music · De­partment facu lty. The medley includes "They Say Its Wonderful", "Blue Skies" and "Alexander's Rag tim e Band".

A football then appears on the gridiron as the Western bandsmen en­tertain with "To Look Sharp" and "March of The Steelmen". Highlighting this medley will be a solo twirling performance by Silver Girl Zenda Millay, a freshman from Owensboro.

In closing, the "Big Red" Marching Band will form a replica of the Uni­versity seal, climaxing the show with the alma mater, "College Heights".

Western's "Silver Girls", including poised sophomore Joanna Smith, help the "Big Red" Marching Band add color and excitement to Hilltopper halftimes. Joanna, from nearby Mor­gantown, is serving her second year on the majorette squad.

Looking Backward - Western Football FOUR DECADES OF HOMECOMING EXCITEMENT

For the 40th time its Homecoming on the hilltop, and as usual, the campus is buzzing with activity as alumni renew old acquaintances, stu­dents celebrate any and everything, and all pack L. T. Smith Stadium to cheer the Hilltoppers to victory.

Since Homecoming began at Western in 1927, the "ropper gridders have posted a sparkling 24-13-2 record in the annual game. That first Home­coming saw the E. A. Diddle-coached squad slip past the University of Louisville, 7-6.

From 1927 through 1940, Western rolled through 14 consecutive winning seasons. During this period, Hilltopper fans left old Western Stadium. smiling after ten 'Topper Homecoming victor­ies. The 1929 Homecoming, which the Hilltoppers dropped to Centre. 7-6. was covered by Kelly Thompson, then sports editor of the College Heights Herald and recently retired President of the University.

In 1948 Western celebrated. its entry into the Ohio Valley Conference with a 14-13 decision over arch-rival East­ern Kentucky. This was the first of nine Homecomings coached by Jack Clayton, retired athletic director at Northwestern Louisiana.

In 1957 Coach Nick Denes came to Western and whipped Morehead 28-6 in the first of seven HomeComing victories he brought to "The Hill" dur­ing his years at the HiUtopper helm.

The 1963 Western team, possibly the school's best ever, climaxed the big weekend with a 54-14 shellacking of Evansville College enroute to a 10-0-1 season and a Tangerine Bowl champ­ionship.

In spite of the Hilltopper's outstand­ing overall record in Homecoming play, Western has yet to claim a win over Tennessee Tech in the annual contest. The two first met in 1942 and both left the field dissatified due to

a mutually disappointing ti~. 6-6. Tech returned to help Western cele­brate Homecoming in 1951 and nipped the 'Toppers, 14-7. Two years later, Tech again saddened Western fans with a 34-21 win over the Hilltoppers.

The Golden Eagles were last in­vited to participate in Western's

Homecoming in 1959. Western efforts fell short once again and Tech emerged the victor, 29-19.

Thus, the Hilltoppers have a score to settle wfth Tech today and, as Coach Diddle would put it., "We got to pay 'em back! ! ! . . . with com­mnunmpound interest! ! ! "

"Smokey" Joe Baird returns an Evansville kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter of Western's 54-14 Homecoming victory in 1963. As an amazed and delirious HUltopper bench and grandstand look on, Baird makes school his­tory with the help of a key block by Dale Lindsey. Dan Sundberg (23) realizes Baird is free and calls off other Western blockers.

Ohio Valley Conference Enters 22nd Season

With the 1969 football season under­way, the Ohio Valley Conference en­ters its 22nd athletic season with a colorful past history and a promising fulure as one of the nation's strongest athletic conferences.

G rowth and n ational recognition have accompanied the DVe since its birth date in 1948. Prior to 1955, only three ave members had been ranked as major basketba ll powers, with Wes tern Kentucky receiving six in­vitations to participate in the National Invitational Tournament in New York. B ut in 1955, the National Collegiate Athletic Association formally designat­ed the ave as a major basketball conference, thereby assuring the loop of representation in the NCAA Tour­nament. In 1965, the ove had two participants in post-season tourneys: Eastern K entucky in the NCAA and Western Kentucky in the NIT.

Likewise the ove seeks to become a major football power as the caliber of competition and interest rises with each season. Bowl bids are common for the OVC which has participated in the Tangerine Bowl class ic at Orlando, Fla., four times and hosts the Grant­land Rice Bowl on Middle Tennessee's campus.

Administrative growth has paralled the rising p rogress of its athletic teams. In 1960, presidents of the mem­ber colleges expanded a three-man judiciary committee to a seven-mem­ber Executive Committee, which stm exists.

The evolution of the office of com­missioner has been the key to the conference's maturation a nd organi­zation. The curren t Ohio Valley Conference commissioner, Arthur L . Guepe, is also the league's first fun­time commissioner.

Among Commissioner Guepe's re­sponsibilities is the interpretation and enforcement of conference regulations and eligibility rules, in addition to his publicity and statistical duties.

The Ohio Valley Conference is one of the nation's most cohesive govern­ing bodies of athletics. Continually striving to make improvements in the league's structure, the OVC should continue to grow as it has during the past 21 years.

Head C08<:h BURCH OGLESBY

This time each year most sports en thusiasts t u rn their at tention to football . But not Dr. Burch Ogles­by.

H ead track coach a t Western, Oglesby is cur­r ently t rying to engineer a HiU­topper drive to the school's {irs l conference cross­count ry ti tle s ince 1964.

Oglesby, in his fourth fu ll season at the Weslern track helm, guid­ed the Hilltoppers to third a nd sec­ond-place fin ishes in the past two Ohio Valley Conference cross-country meets. In addition his tracks ters captured the school's s ixth consec utive conference track title las t spring. Assis ting Ogles ­by in his duties is Alan Launder .

Giv ing this (a ll's outlook a hint of optimism is the r eturn of distancemen Dar re ll Myers, a senior, and Hecto r Ortiz, a sophomore. These two w ere instrumental in the 1968 Hilltoppers' fine finish and perfect 6-0 m ark in dual competition.

Other talented veterans on the squad are senior David Holdman; juniors Ronnie Timberlake, J ohn Swain and Mike Reardon ; and sophomores Chris England a nd J erry Gossett.

A speedy group of freshme n prom ises to help the Hilltoppers overcome a depth problem that has haunted West­ern the past few seasons. H eading the list are Tim Harry, two-time Ken­tucky h igh school cross- country champ from Louisv ille, and Charles Zipprich, New J ersey high school mile champion from Edison, N. J . Additiona l depth may come from these other freshmen : Tim Bush, Lancaster, Ohio; David Jones, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla .; Tea l Sur­dyka , Edison, N.
