Trustees delay Wildermuth name change

The recommendation to rename the Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center is being delayed for now.

Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Terry Clapacs presented the proposal from the All University Committee on Names to rename the intramural center to the William L. Garrett/ Ora L. Wildermuth Field House.

After some deliberation, Vice President of the Trustees, Patrick Shoulders, suggested the Student Recreational Sports Center be named after Garrett, said IU Spokesman Larry MacIntyre.

MacIntyre said Shoulders did not want to see the two names together on the intramural center building.

MacIntyre said IU President Michael McRobbie will give the alternative suggestion to the All University Committee on Names for more discussion.

The alternate will be passed on in the next meeting, but MacIntyre said he wasn’t sure how long it would take to get the 25-member committee together.
