To the State Teachers College Board and Other Friends of Ball State Teachers College
During the 1961-63 biennium Ball State Teachers College attained its primary long-term goals suggested in my first report for the 1945-47 biennium. It was in 1945 that the College commissioned its architect to develop the Ball State Campus Plan with the assistance and cooperative thinking of faculty members, students, and the State Teachers College Board. A careful comparison of the architect's proposed view of the campus as planned in that year and the actual campus of 1963 reveals how well the College has carried out its building plans during the eighteen-year period. As a result, and in anticipation of the unprecedented mushrooming of the College's enrollment during the next decade, a new "fifteenyear" campus plan was prepared and approved by the State Teachers College Board.
Implen1entation of curricular and organizational planning has kept pace with the College's growth. Graduate and undergraduate programs expanded as the College continued to respond to the educational needs of Indiana. Doctoral programs in Elementary
Education and Social Science Teacher Education were introduced.
As of September 1, 1961, Joseph C. Wagner became Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer and Richard W. Burkhardt became Vice President for Instructional Affairs and Dean of Faculties.
The College's instructional program was reorganized into three divisions-Education, Fine and Applied Arts, and Sciences and Humanities-and a dean was appointed for each division. Associat(t deans were appointed to provide over-all leadership for the College's graduate progralTIS, undergraduate programs, and instructional services.

Ball State has aided in the training of educational leaders for the state and nation. James H. Albertson resigned as Executive Assistant to the President to accept the position of President of Wisconsin State College in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. John H. Snedeker, formerly Director of Ball State's Bureau of Research, has become
President of New ~1exico Western College in Silver City, Ne\v
Mexico. Richard McKee resigned as Assistant Professor of Education to become an Education Research and Program Specialist in
Higher Education in the United States Office of Education. Thomas
H. Overmire, Assistant Professor of Science, has been granted a leave of absence for 1963-64 to serve with the National Science
Foundation.
The report that follows summarizes the major activities of Ball
State Teachers College during the past biennium as prepared by the various administrative units.

Attainment of several specific goals in the Instructional Affairs area marked the 1961-63 biennium. The reorganization planned in the preceding biennium and authorized by the State Teachers College
Board to become effective in September, 1961, was completed with the naming of Dr. Robert P. Bell as Dean of the Fine and Applied
Arts Division, Dr. Earl A. Johnson as Dean of the Education Division, and, in August, 1962, Dr. Robert L. Carmin as Dean of the
Sciences and Humanities Division. Named associate deans of specific staff program areas were Dr. Jerome A. Fallon, Instructional
Services; Dr. Robert H. Koenker, Graduate Programs; and Dr. Victor B. Lawhead, Undergraduate Programs.
Completion of another unit of the Music-English-Auditorium
Building provided much needed instructional space in three new sections: communications (radio and television and journalism), theatre, and music rehearsal.
The year 1962-63 witnessed the organization of the new Faculty Senate as the principal agent for the formulation of educational policy at Ball State Teachers College. Composed of all full professors, certain administrative officers by virtue of their positions, and representatives of all full-time faculty members, the Senate meets regularly to discuss and take action on educational policies.
On May 2, 1963, the Faculty Senate adopted a complete revision of the college's committee system which clarified committee functions and placed committees under the Faculty Senate in accordance with the constitution for faculty government.
Faculty discussions reached the decision stage in the area of general education. Stin1ulated by action of the State Department of Public Instruction, the faculty revamped the various curricula, incorporating general studies as an integral part of the total undergraduate program and providing broader curricular opportunities for students planning to complete preprofessional programs in law, medicine, and other areas.

During 1961-62 faculty committees prepared a comprehensive report to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. In October, 1962, an NCATE evaluation team visited the campus, and, in the spring of 1963, the college received complete accreditation by NCATE.
In 1963 the first two doctoral candidates completed the required work for the degree awarded solely by Ball State Teachers
College.
The first students to cOlTIplete four years on the Honors Program at Ball State Teachers College were graduated in June, 1963.
The annual Science Lecture and Discussion Series brought to the campus such distinguished men as Dr. Laurence M. Could, Dr.
Paul Weiss, and Dr. Percy L. Julian.
Among the college's n1any other visitors was Dr. J alTIeS Conant who, with his staff, consulted with faculty lTIembers as part of his study of teacher education in the United States.
In 1962-63 a new series of faculty lectures was instituted by the Social Science Department. Dr. Jacques Coutor presented the first series, seven lectures on Algeria.
The addition of a 1620 computer has enlarged opportunities for service and research.
Encouragement of cooperative activities among school systems resulted in the organization and addition of the Northeastern
Indiana School Study Council and the East Central Indiana School
Study Council to the School Study Council program.
Library collections have gro'wn at the rate of 20,000 volumes a year, and by the end of the biennium the number of catalogued volumes approached 250,000 and periodicals, 1,500. The Sir Norman Angell papers represented a valuable acquisition to the library, which has catalogued the first shipment. Sir Norman has bequeathed the balance of his papers and library to Ball State Teachers College.
More than 120 other donors presented books, periodicals, or collections to the library in 1962-63.
Arrangements were made between Ball State Teachers College
' and Ball Memorial Hospital to close the three-year program of nursing at the hospital and reinstitute the four-year program at the college in the fall of 1964.

Federation, and, in 1962-63, to Drs. Joseph W; and Lucile
Hollis for a book in the field of guidance.
During the biennium pupil enrollment varied from 889 to
874 at Burris School which continued to serve as a laboratory for teacher education. Approximately 1,730 college students had participation assignments during 1961-63.
Doctoral programs leading to the degrees of Doctor of
Philosophy and Doctor of Education in the fields of elementary education and social science teacher education were offered for the first time in September, 1961. During the summer of 1963, two candidates completed the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in elementary education. Approximately 20 students were enrolled full time on the new programs in 1961-62 and 1962-63; during these years 73 students were granted admission to the programs.
The cooperative Doctor of Education degree program with Indiana University (instituted in 1948) and the cooperative Doctor of Philosophy degree program with Purdue
University (instituted in 1957) continued to attract capable students. To date, 22 candidates have received the doctoral degree under one of these cooperative programs.

Earned Degrees Conferred, 1961-62, Bachelors' and Higher
Degrees. Among the 402 institutions granting the master's degree in elementary education, Ball State ranked second only to Teachers College, Columbia University.
Weekend programs for mathematics and English teachers, a variety of consultative services, and a seven-school cooperative secondary English curriculum 5.tudy were among the projects designed to meet current educational changes. Another study group continued to probe the underlying principles of professional development at the in-service level. In addition, an organized program for making comprehensive school surveys was developed; psychological services were provided to school systems as required by the State Department of Public Instruction for reimbursement in special education; and consultant service to the State Department of
Public Instruction in the area of adult education was provided by making Dr. John Craddock, Assistant Director of
Extended Services, available half time for eleven months.
Extended Services personnel participated in the development of the Cooperative Program in Teacher Education sponsored by the four state institutions of higher learning and in the deliberations of the Statewide Educational Program Committee.
In this biennium, too, institutional membership in the
National University Extension Association was granted, thus
12 making the services of that organization available to various areas of the college.
Enrollment figures in the accompanying table represent a continuation of previous reports relative to classes and organized programs; however, the impact of the various developments described above cannot be reflected in a table of this kind.

The academic year for the recording of degrees now includes the three regular quarters--Autumn, Winter, and Spring--and the following summer terms. This is pointed out because some reports request a different combination of periods, resulting in different totals of various degrees. Because this system is a change from the degree re~ording of past years, the above totals may differ from those published in previous biennial reports.

Homes Park and 38 in one- and two-bedroom apartments in
Anthony Apartments. With the completion of Anthony Apartments East by June 1, 1963, a total of 86 apartments became available on campus to married students.
The opening of the Ralph Noyer Halls, a coeducational residence hall, in the fall of 1962 made possible the elimination of the two substandard wooden structures, North and
South Halls, as residence halls. Construction of four residence halls in the new Mark E. Studebaker Halls was begun in
1962. The same year plans were completed for two more residence halls as part of the Studebaker complex.

The Office of Religious Programs continued to sponsor a cooperative program of religious activities by the nineteen recognized student religious organizations on campus. The director of religious programs worked closely with the ministers of the churches represented by the stud e nt religious organizations in realizing a college program of religious activities acceptable to all.
The area of religious programs at Ball State was brought into cooperation with the national ACURA, Association for the Coordination of University Religious Affairs.

Placement
Bureau
Sixty-three foreign students representing 23 nations were enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs in 1961-63.
Five foreign students were granted baccalaureate degrees, thirteen received master's degrees, and two were awarded the doctorate.
In 1961 the college conducted its fifth three-month program of International Teacher Development in conjunction with the United States Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare , Office of Education and the United States Department of State.
In 1962 the international affiliation project with the National University of San Cristobal of Huamanga University,
Ayacucho, Peru, was initiated through the United States Department of State and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
Major responsibilities of the Office of Student Programs have included the new student program , student government,
Student Center Governing Board, all major student activities, all student organizations, and the college social calendar. In
1963 there were 164 recognized student organizations, classified as follows: 27 departmental (exclusive of musical and honorary groups), 14 musical, 18 honorary, 5 publications,
33 governing (including residence halls), 19 religious, 11 fraternities, 11 sororities, 11 special interest, 6 major committees, and 9 campus-related (includes faculty and community members).
In 1962-63, 26 , 000 requests for teachers were received, in contrast to the 13,000 requests in 1961-62. The fact that several large cities sent in open orders contributed to the impressive increase in just one year. The number of recruiters visiting the college also increased; in 1962, 257 recruiters came to the Placement Bureau and conducted 2,652 formal interviews.
In both years of the biennium , 99.6 per cent of the graduates were placed.
20
The Office of Public Affairs and College Development continued to implement its many programs on the premise that effective communication is basic to public relations. The personal approach in fund raising and the quality approach in news releases ... publications addressed to specific audiences and exhibits designed for general appeal . . . statistical studies of alumni by profession and increased use of WBST, the college ' s FM radio station . . . these were among the means used to inform the public of the accomplishments and needs of the college.
Development
(Fund Raising)
Development
(Campus Planning)
Emphasis was placed on continuing the Ball State tradition of using private gifts to supplement State appropriations in supporting the college's efforts to meet the increasing needs of higher education in Indiana. To this end several brochures were prepared to encourage private investment in scholarship and loan funds as well as in other programs.
The Ermal W. Marsh Scholarship was established by
Marsh Supermarkets, Inc., in memory of the late Ermal
Marsh, for a senior male student in business marketing , merchandising, or management.
The $1 , 500 , 000 goal of the College-Community Auditorium fund was reached through substantial private gifts from within the community and generous pledges from outside Muncie .
Special effort was extended to encourage passage of federal legislation to provide construction funds for academic facilities.
Completed during the biennium were building plans for
Studebaker Halls, specifically the Davidson, Painter, Palmer, and Whitcraft Halls (construction was begun September,
1962) and the Hurlbut and Nlenk Halls; the Physical Education Building for Men (construction completed June, 1963); an e x tension to Anthony Apartments (construction completed
June, 1963) ; and the Amelia T. Wood Health Service Building
(construction was begun September, 1962).
21

Council of Visitors
Plans were developed for the extension to the Science
Building to provide laboratories for physics, chemistry, earth science, biology, health, and physiology, as well as offices for the Science Department.
College-Community Auditorium plans were terminated and construction neared completion.
On May 11, 1962, Ball State Teachers College inaugurated the Council of Visitors, composed of 35 representatives from various parts of Indiana. Selected on the recommendation of alumni and friends of the college in their localities, the Council members are neither alumni nor members of the teaching profession. But they are community leaders who are interested in youth and concerned with higher education. The visitors, who serve for three years, are invited to the campus twice a year for meetings devoted to the activities of a particular area.
Public
Information
Services
Radio and
Television
In September, 1961, Public Information Services w~s established within the Public Affairs area to include the News
Bureau, Publications Office, and Photo Service, and to coordinate the public information aspects of radio and television, athletic publicity, and exhibits and displays.
In 1962-63 the News Bureau more than doubled its annual output of releases and special services to both campus and off-campus groups. The Publications Office recorded a
54 per cent increase in the number of publications produced over the preceding biennium. Photographic services tripled in 1962-63 over 1961-62.
In addition to these increases in production, Public Information Services effected close liaison with instructional and administrative areas in order to serve faculty, staff, and students most effectively. In academic news coverage, the interpretative aspects were especially emphasized in order to share with the community and the state the advances being made by Ball State Teachers College. When \VBST went on the air on October 1, 1962, Information Services worked with the director of radio and television on some of the initial programs and began providing copies of all news releases sent to city news media.
WBST originally went on the air with a 30-hour-a-week broadcast schedule which was later increased to 35 hours.
In addition to supervising the student operation of WBST, the director of radio and television worked on the total concept for radio and television at Ball State Teachers College and endeavored to expand the college's television facilities.
Display
Service
Twenty-eight different special exhibits were prepared in addition to the annual fair exhibits and the customary signs, posters, teaching aids, charts, and maps requested by various areas of the college. Types of display service remained the same, but there was a decided increase in volume, particularly in silk screen process printing.

Approximately 45,000 people attended the 152 conferences held on campus during the biennium. Large conferences were scheduled at the Student Center during the regular academic year and at Noyer Halls during the summer. The Kitselman
Conference Center continued to be used by groups preferring private facilities for meeting, eating, and sleeping.
By spring 196,3, more than 20,000 alumni were receiving the
Alumnus magazine. Feature articles on the Peace Corps work of three alumni sparked a project of collecting textbooks for the Peace Corps.
A series of studies was begun to identify alumni by academic degree classification and in various professional categories. Response to one survey revealed that at least 173
Ball State alumni have earned Ed,D. and Ph.D. degrees;
73, M,D. degrees; and 31, D.D.S. degrees.
Ball State alumni serving as Indiana public school administrators in 1962-63 included 44 superintendents (33 metropolitan, 11 county), 131 high school principals, 35 junior high school principals, and 250 elementary school principals.
These figures represent 16 per cent of all Indiana superintendents, 20 per cent of all Indiana high school principals, 28 per cent of all Indiana junior high school principals, and 18 per cent of all Indiana elementary school principals.
In the field of guidance, 22 per cent (294) of all Indiana public school guidance personnel (1,353) are Ball State alumni.
The executive committee of the Alumni Association provided 16 alumni scholarships each year. In addition, 11 students benefited each year from faculty memorial scholarship programs that were initiated and/ or supported by. alumni contributions. The executive committee also authorIzed 12 alumni merit scholarships annually.
Traffic control, vehicle registration, and enforcement of vehicle regulations continued to be a major service to students, faculty, staff, and guests during the biennium. Other services provided by the Office of Traffic, Safety, and Security were also increased as enrollment grew and as new buildings and facilities were completed. This office was also effective in coordinating the college's civil defense program with that of the city.
Perception and Visual Expression, Photography in the Fine
Arts, the Misch Kohn Retrospective Exhibit, and Eyes of
Time-a survey of painting from prehistoric times to the present-were just a few of the special exhibits which attracted visitors to the Art Gallery. For the Ninth Annual
Drawing and Small Sculpture Show in March, 1963, the number of entering artists increased by 25 per cent and the number of patrons by 333~ per cent over the preceding year.

Note: The balance of $107,141 remaining in the capital total was used for major repairs and was transferred by action of the State Budget Director from the capital outlay to the current operations budget. This sum is therefore reflected in the
State appropriation shown under the Current Operations
General Fund.
In addition to the State appropriations above, the sum of
$81,000 was used from college earnings and student fees to complete a sewer project on the Benadum Acres started in the last biennium with State funds.
During the biennium Ralph Noyer Halls, a coeducational residence hall housing 932 students, was completed at a total cost of $5,284,568. The building was financed by a $4,800,000 bond sale through the Housing and Home Finance Agency and to private purchasers, plus additional funds of Ball State
Teachers College for equipment and furnishings.
Three projects were encompassed in one financing plan during the biennium. With funds available from a bond sale through the Housing and Home Finance Agency and to private purchasers, a 48-unit married student apartment complex, known as Anthony Apartments East, was completed at a cost of $478,777.
The other two projects included in this over-all financing plan under construction at the close of the biennium are
Studebaker Halls (coeducational) to house 900 studentsestimated cost, $5,040,000-and Student Health Service Building-estimated cost, $557,000. Also under construction is the
College-Community Auditorium at an estimated cost of
$2,565,000.
U sing funds derived from auxiliary enterprises, student fees, and other earned income, properties were purchased at a total investment of $130,494. These locations are 406 North Talley
Avenue, 324 North College Avenue, and the Ballinger tract of land composed of 55 acres immediately adjacent to the
Benadum Acres in the north campus area.
Converted
Usage
With the demolition of the houses located at 318 and 324
North College Avenue, this area was converted into a parking lot at a cost of $19,564. Also, with the opening of N oyer Halls in the fall of 1962, a war surplus building known as South
Hall was demolished. A similar building known as North
Hall and previously used as a student residence hall was converted into an office building.
