A high-level committee at Indiana University at Bloomington that reviewed the naming of an athletics center after a segregationist judge will recommend adding the name of a black athlete to the building’s moniker, the Indiana Daily Student reported.

The Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center was named in 1971, but the name became controversial only last year after a column in the student newspaper revealed that the judge, who had been a university trustee in the 1940s, had expressed segregationist views. Judge Wildermuth died in 1964.

J. Terry Clapacs, the university’s vice president and chief administrative officer who was chairman of the review committee, told the student newspaper today that the panel would recommend renaming the center the William L. Garrett/Ora L. Wildermuth Fieldhouse. Mr. Garrett, the university’s first black basketball player, died in 1974 after suffering a heart attack. —Charles Huckabee
