building was named. It consists of two free-

story and one ten-story, housing 816 male and
female students, at the corner of Ninth and Dou-
glas. The two wings of the building are served
by a common dining service. Lincoln Field, in-
cluding the new football stadium with 7600 per-
manent seats and 2400 bleacher seats, also
opened. The facility includes an outdoor, eight-
lane, all-weather track; office space; training and
team rooms; a press box; a one-story block struc-
ture with weight room; and an elevator to the
press box.

Following a campus referendum Doudna
announced on May 15 that the U.S. flag on
Eastern's campus would continue to fly at full
mast. Doudna's statement came after students,
faculty and civil service employees had de-
feated a proposal to fly the "U.S. flag at half-
staff for the duration of the American armed
involvement in Southeast Asia." The referen-
dum was called by the Council of Vice Presi-
dents, on the recommendation of a student com-
mittee, which was formed after opposing stu-
dent factions could not agree on whether the
flag should fly at half-mast or full staff. (Doudna
had lowered the flag on May 6 after some 200
students had marched to the flag pole in front
of Old Main, asking that the flag be lowered to
half-mast in memory of the four Kent State
University students who had been killed while
protesting the expansion of the Vietnam war.)

Although a University president, Doudna
traveled extensively to national conferences,
Board of Governors' meetings, and out of the
country on assignments for the U.S. State De-
partment, he worked hard to be a "people's" .,
president. However, the 1970s were changing,·
difficult times and the challenges continued.
One example of this was the April 1970 march
of some 2000 students to Doudna's home, at 933
11th Street, to protest a proposed $60 increase
in dormitory rates.

Another example involved the naming of
the University Union. The Student Senate
passed a resolution in 1970 requesting that the
Faculty Senate recommend to Doudna that the
University Union be named in honor of the late
Martin Luther King, Jr. However, since the rec-
ommended name change ran counter to the es-
tablished tradition at Eastern of naming build-

ings in honor of individuals who had made Doudna is known as "The Builder" of underwent a tremendous change due to the

a black culture center. Later that year, the Afro-
American Cultural Center (a place where even 49
today black students and other minorities can
gather for social events, for meetings, and for
the common cause of progress, opportunity
and leadership) was dedicated, on December
13.

In 1971 the Board of Governors ordered
Eastern to concentrate on strong undergradu-
ate programs, with some development at the
master's level. Teacher education, tradition-
ally Eastern's prime roll, was to be limited.
Also that year there was a one-story addition
to the Lantz Building.

In both fiscal years 1971 and 1972
Doudna's budget requests were reduced by
the Board of Higher Education and the legis-
lature by more than $3 million. As a result, he
eliminated salary increases for faculty and
civil servants, canceled new and vacant fac-
ulty positions, curtailed equipment purchases
and library additions, removed all faculty tele-
phones and canceled all faculty travel.

At the 1970 Summer commencement in
August, President Doudna announced his
plans to retire in the fall of 1971, rendering
the excellent commencement address by Pro-
fessor John Buenker and the awarding of de-
grees anti-climaxes. Doudna said: "...the time
had come, I felt, when I should consider
whether I wanted another year as a Univer-
sity president, or an added year of retirement.
I chose the latter." (He left Eastern on Aug.
31, 1971 and died April 21, 1987. He, like Buz-
zard, is buried near Lord in Charleston's
Roselawn Cemetery.) In 1970 also, the faculty

May 10 of 1972 saw an action unparal-

John Craft became the first Eastern athlete to

compete in the Olympic games. He placed

fifth in the triple jump. In 1984, Tim Dykstra,

have placed the materials in the voting area.

Adding to the tense situation was the fact
that the Student Activities office refused to
release the vote totals-a decision that con-
vinced some Black students that there was a
general effort to eliminate the possibility of a
black homecoming queen.

The homecoming pep rally was called off
after several hundred black students dis-
rupted scheduled activities, protesting alleged
discrimination in the election. Fite later an-
nounced that there would be no homecom-
ing queen for 1973. December's total snow-
fall that year of twenty-six and a half-inches
added another record to the history of the
University. (Charleston's average annual
snowfall is sixteen inches.)

A group of students then led a boycott 53
against the celebration. At the peak of the
boycott, bright orange buttons with the cap-
tion "Boycott the Diamond Jubilee" were
spotted throughout the campus. The dispute
ended in August, when Fite agreed to return
the entire $27,000 to the Student Senate over
an eight year period.

During an April 20th dedication cer-
emony, the Fine Arts Concert Hall was named
the Leo J. Dvorak Hall, in honor of Dvorak,
Eastern's first School of Music Director, who
served from 1940 until his death in 1964. (He
had become director following reorganization
in 1963.) Also in April, the Faculty Senate
voted 9 to 4 in favor of Eastern applying for a
Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROCT) unit.

In 1974 Eastern closed its Laboratory
School, and began to use the building for of-
fices and university classrooms. (The staff of
the Board of Higher Education had earlier
recommended de-emphasizing of teacher
education programs, and had evidenced a
growing belief in the nation that laboratory
schools were superfluous parts of those pro-
grams. Subsequently a subcommittee of the
Board recommended dissolution of the Buz-
zard School; a decision later ratified by the
entire board. A plan was set forth to phase
out the institution over a two year period; it
closed its doors on June 1, 1974.) This closure
resulted in a considerable dislocation. Ten-
ured members of the faculty were absorbed
into the University, but non-tenured persons
were dismissed. Ironically, that was the same
year Eastern gave its Fourth President, Rob-
ert Guy Buzzard, an honorary Doctor of Laws
Degree. It was Buzzard who had fought to get
the Lab School Building, which was later
named after him.

A second addition to the University
Union, including two elevators, was com-
pleted in 1974. Also, the University honored

The year 1981 also saw the c reation of the
56 Eastern Honors Programs, which offer aca-
demically talented s tudents s pecial classes
and other educational opportunities. (They
started with 50 students, but by 1994 had mo re
than 350.) The Radio-Television Cente r began

operations the same yea r. To alleviate dormi-
tory overcrowding that year, the University
leased a building from the local Holiday Inn.

On October 26, 1983 more than five hundred
students attended a candlelight vigil in the

library quad in honor of 239 U.S. marines
kiUed in the bombing of a military building
in Beirut, Lebanon.

Nin t h Street Hall, originally a Alpha
Kappa Lambda Fraternity House and then the
Kappa Delta Sorority House, was purchased
in 1984. This block a nd frame, two-story struc-

med iately north of Carman Hall. (ln 1991 it
was redesignated as International House, and

now houses 52 male and female stude nts from
both the United States and other countries.)
A metal addition to the one-story Physical
Plant Services Building was also constructed
during 1984.

In 1985 the Tenth Decade Campaign to

era at the center, which started out as just an
idea nearly eight years earlier. On July 1,
WEIU-TV, Channel 51, went on the air at
l.p.m. New lights were installed at O'Brien
Stadium, and in the first game under the new
lights, Eastern defeated Northeast Missouri,
41-31. The University also purchased the
house at 1601-1603 Seventh Street, known as
the "Edwards House," to be used for Art Stu-
dios. (It was demolished in 1988, a nd the land
converted to a parking lot.)

Also that year students participated in an
evening candlelight POW/MIA ceremony

sponsored by the Student Senate to honor
missing Vietnam veterans. There were also
two additional plaques placed at the base of
the Old Main flag pole, by th e faculty, alumni
and students. One honored those who had
served in the armed forces d u ring the Korean
Conflict, the other for those who served in the
Vietnam War.

During the ceremony President Rives
said: "Their sacrifice has helped to guarantee
that places like Eastern Illinois University can
and do continue to exist. We hope these mark-
ers will stand as reminders to future students
of their selflessness and sacrifice."

PhD from the University of California at Los
Angeles. In January 1993 Jorns outlined a

CAMPUS LIFE

STUDENT O RGANIZATIONS

More than 130 recognized student orga-
nizations are registered each year through the
Office of Student Activities. There are scores
of clubs, including departmental clubs, stu-
dentgovernment, minority student organiza-
tions, and the student programming board
(UB). While social Greek organizations com-
prise approximately 20% of the student body,
other organizations allow students the oppor-
tunity to participate in many other campus
activities. Participation provides leadership
opportunities, as well as the opportunity to
enhance your college experience.

The Office of Student Affairs, Division of
Recreational Sports, offers intramural and in-
formal sport programs for all students with

pairs, and/ or as members of men's, women's
and co-rec teams. Participation is voluntary
and open to all students. The structural intra-
mural sport program offers over 35 tourna-
ments in eight team sports and five racket
sports plus 20 sport-related special events.

G REEK L IFE

Being Greek at Eastern is an experience
which involves individuals bonded by com-
mon interests and goals. There are many ben-
efits of membership:

A group of supportive friends to help
make the adjustment to college.

Scholastic resources and support to help
students achieve their goals.

Leadership skills and hands-on opportu-
nities to practice those skills.

Encouragement to get involved in the
campus and community.

The opportunity to give of oneself
through active participation in community
service projects.

Career opportunities through interaction
with alumni.

With 20% of the student population be-
longing to a fraternity or sorority, Eastern's
Greek system offers something for everyone.
Our 15 national fraternities and 13 national

64

sororities have been recognized as one of the
top Greek systems in a 16-state Midwestern
region. Greek life is an opportunity to expand,
explore, and grow with others as an indi-
v i d u a l.

T ARBLE ARTS CENTER

The Tarble Arts Center is a major cultural
resou rce serving east central Illinois. The
Tarble presents a year-round schedule of vi-
sual arts exhibitions, visiting artists and lec-
ture rs, chamber music concerts, and special
events such as poetry or fiction readings.
Many of these events are co-sponsored by
other departments and campus organizations
as well as organizations from outside the
University. Changing exhibitions present as
wide a range of art as possible in terms of h is-
torical periods, country of origin, styles and
materials.

In addition to the opportunity for study
and discussion provided by the exhibitions
and programs, students are given the oppor-
tunity to showcase their creative efforts
through the annual All-Student Show com-
petition and the Graduate Art Exhibition,
poetry and fiction readings, a nd music recit-
als. The Tarble Arts Center provides unique
opportunities which add to the cultural life
of the students on campus and the citizens of
the community and region.

THEATRE

The Theatre Department produces six
main state shows each academic year with full
production values. These shows may be fac-
ulty or senior student directed. Additional
student-d irected studio productions are com-
mon. The department holds unified auditions
in late August and November for all main
stage p roductions. Any registered EIU student

a coat and necktie for the evening meal. The
first year, the cost of meals in the cooperative
dining service of "The Panther Lair" was
about an average of $2.40 per week. The mem-
bers took turns waiting on tables, washing
dishes, sweeping up the dining room and
kitchen and washing the pots and pans.

After two years experience with the func-
tion of the dining service, the Fidelis Frater-
nity started up a dining service in its house
on 6th Street. The Phi Sigma Epsilon Frater-
nity started up a dining service in its house
on 4th Street. The Panther Lair started in 1934
as a dining service. By the fall of 1936, three
cooperative dining services were operating.
They provided service for about 75 men. The
significance of the undertaking was that
through initiative and achievement by the stu-
dents, an improvement in the level of quality
of life was brought to the EIU Campus. The
effort was largely put forth by the students
with encouragement and an assist from Dr.
Buzzard and Dean Heller.
