No Sports Until 62 New State College for Orange County

Orange County State College known as OCSC will not enter intercollegiate competition before 1962 or 1983, officials say. The 238 acre Fullerton site near Cypress and Pioneer Aves was chosen for the new institution to open in temporary facilities in September 1959 with 310,000 allocated for site and temporary classrooms. Athletics will be limited early, with facilities rented from local schools, and the athletic director and staff to be named by 1960. Permanent facilities may take four to five years, with the campus eventual enrollment around 3,000 students and construction of athletic facilities last. The State Director of Education will name a college president later this year.
