The 114 South Indiana Ave. location has been adjacent to the campus for over 90 years and holds a place in IU history. It was once a meeting place for campus intellectuals and hosted the likes of Hoagy Carmichael and John Mellencamp.

Unlikely success story

High school track and field in Indiana lacks a few of the events that are done on the college level. One of these events is the javelin. That is why it is odd to have a javelin thrower at IU who graduated from Bloomington North High School. Yet this Hoosier ranks among the conference's best even though he did not throw in high school.
