WKSC realizes rapi With a record enrollment of nearly 6,000 students in 1963, Western Kentucky State College enjoyed the beginnings of a decade of rapid growth and advancement. During 1963, the E.A. Diddle Arena, Home Management House and State Hall, now McCormack, were completed. With growth as the theme for the Talisman, changes brought about by the opening of these buildings were related in the book. For the first time, Greek Organizations were formally recognized by the college. Greek activists welcomed rush, pledgships and the social activities that followed. Students con- sidered the system a means to help socially unify the growing student body. Because of parking problems on the Hill, lots were zoned and students experienced restricted car privileges-not to mention parking tickets. Despite the changing social atmosphere, the traditional Sadie Hawkin's Day Dance was held in 1963. College-sponsored weekly dances provided students with weekend activities. A decade ago, the Hilltoppers faced a 5-16 d growth in 1963 season that had few bright spots in it. For only the fourth time in 41 years, Coach Diddle's basketball club lost more games than it won. The football team fared better with a 5-3 overall record which included a 6-5 loss to Eastern at Western's Homecoming game. Below left-Dr. Kelly Thompson served as Western's president from 1956 to 1969. He now serves as President Emeritus and president of the College Heights Foundation. Below-One problem that has been passed on from decade to decade is the lack of parking spaces on the Hill. Right-Li'l Abners and Daisy Maes were in abundance on Western's campus in 1963 as Marryin' Sam performed his duly at the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. Fssx ' Z'R ' f.,-':i.1 gf.:g',f ', ,r-L
