Business, computer engineering, and technology majors. The ED program is rated in the top 50.

That's interesting, I would have guessed you had a major psychology program based on a lot of the posts on here this week.

A few posters have been relentless in trying to convince us that the louder our crowd is the better for EWU, that your team thrives on the noise.

Well, there's noise and then there's good old dome ear bleeding noise. To paraphrase Patrick Swayze in Next of Kin, you ain't heard noise yet, but it's coming.

Wow guys, sounds like our former "Iowa State Teachers College" name!

that is funny. I can't believe we even had a football team in the early 1900s when we were a mostly female school.

My Grandma went to "Iowa State Teacher's College" in the 1930's. When I was at UNI, she came up with my parents to visit me and told me what it was like when she was attending school. She stayed in Bartlett Hall. Very cool that my Grandma went to school at the same place that I did.

It was actually Iowa State Normal School in the 1930s. Then it became Iowa State Teacher's College, then State College of Iowa, then UNI. My grandmother, father, mother & brother all attended. And I'm the king of remembering unimportant things.

When it started, campus radio station KULT (formerly KGRK), signed on from the roof of the Rod Library with the calls KYTC.

The letters stood for Know Your Teacher's College.

The later calls, KGRK and KULT, don't mean crap.

Nearly every state has a state university that started out as a teachers college. Was in Arkansas not long ago. Specifically, I was in Conway, AR home of UCA. They started out as Arkansas Normal School, then Arkansas State Teachers College, then State College of Arkansas and finally University of Central Arkansas. Beautiful campus. They are making the jump to Division I and will be members of the Southland Conference.

Yes - and the Omaha School of Trucking recently made the jump to the Omaha Truck & Tractor College. Real proud of 'em.

KYTC was formerly in a quonset where Rod Library now sits
