St. Cloud State Traditions: History of the Nickname
The Husky Nickname: St. Cloud State’s nickname has gone through several changes over the years. Early nicknames included “Normals,” “Teachers,” “Bear Cats,” “Peds,” and “Flying Clouds.” There are several theories about how the nickname “Huskies” began to be used. One says that it is a result of a student contest. Another suggests that the name originated with the football team. There was a story in the February 4, 1938, edition of the College Chronicle which referred to the “football huskies.” Since huskies was not capitalized in the story, the author could have been referring to the team’s size, and this possibly led to the nickname. Another theory is that the nickname originated within the football team. “I think it occurred during Coach Kasch’s days as football coach (1935-42),” said John Weisman, former SCSU Dean of Men and former coach. “The team just started calling themselves the “Huskies.” Why the name was chosen or who exactly selected it remains unclear. The name could have been intended to mean “burly, robust or large,” “one that is husky,” or “a heavily coated working dog of the arctic region.” Perhaps the nickname was meant to encompass all three meanings. Regardless of its origin, the Husky nickname continues to represent SCSU as a symbol and image of strength.
The St. Cloud State Rouser
Oh, here we are, the gang and all, to cheer our team to victory. SCSU has heard the call, We’re here to show our loyalty, RAH! RAH! Come on team fight, We’ll win this game, and to our colors we’ll be true. We’ll sing our song, both loud and long, to victory — S.C.S.U.
The St. Cloud State Hymn
Sing to thee our Alma Mater, High on oakcrowned banks, Emblem of our search for knowledge, Symbol of our youthful ranks, Filled with fires of true ambition, Let us ever be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee. By the river’s flowing water, By its islands fair, may the loyal sons and daughters, thy enduring friendship share. May they with sincere ambition, through the years e’er be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee.

ST. CLOUD STATE FACILITIES FIRST CLASS PROGRAMS...FIRST CLASS FACILITIES St. Cloud State University’s tradition of excellence in athletics is mirrored by the many outstanding athletic facilities that are featured on the SCSU campus. The majority of SCSU’s home sporting events take place at the following locations on campus: Halenbeck Hall, Husky Stadium, Selke Field, Dick Putz Field, and the National Hockey Center.
HISTORIC SELKE FIELD: Selke Field is the home to Husky softball,
which placed third in the nation in 2004. The softball diamond is located in the southeast corner of the Selke Field athletic complex. Bleachers and two dugouts complete the playing area. In addition, the SCSU baseball team has a practice field at Selke, and SCSU students use the facility for intramural soccer and touch football.
HUSKY STADIUM: Husky Stadium, which opened in September
2004, is a multi-purpose facility offers seating for 4,198 spectators and is the home to SCSU football and soccer. The field overlooks the scenic Mississippi River and features a state-of-the-art synthetic playing surface along with lights for night play. In the winter months, the field is covered with an inflatable bubble that provides an outstanding practice space for many of the SCSU athletic teams and SCSU’s recreation sports programs. Other features of the facility include a press box, President’s Suite, concession stands, ticket booths and bathroom facilities.
The stadium is connected to Halenbeck Hall by a new student recreation facility that features a massive fitness center, climbing walls, classrooms, dance studios, snack bar, office space and storage locations.
HALENBECK HALL: Halenbeck Hall was completed and dedicated
in 1965. The main gymnasium of Halenbeck Hall has a seating capacity of 6,451. Volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, and swimming all compete in the main area of Halenbeck. In the summer of 2001, a new wooden floor, arena seating and scoreboard were installed, which makes Halenbeck one of the best courts in the NSIC. The Halenbeck Aquatics Center has seating capacity for 500 spectators. Its features include a sixlane pool and a diving well with one and three meter boards.
HALL OF FAME: Halenbeck Hall is home to the SCSU Athletic Hall of Fame, which was completed in the spring of 1996. The Hall of Fame is located in the south lobby of the main gymnasium and houses the Hall of Fame plaques, as well as trophy cases for each of the Huskies’ sports. The building also houses several classrooms, a complete computer lab and offices for the coaches and athletic administrative staff. HALENBECK HALL SOUTH: Halenbeck Hall South was completed in 1980. It provides SCSU with an indoor training facility for track, soccer, baseball, softball, and tennis. The major feature of Halenbeck South is an activity center and multiple purpose area bordered by a running track. A new surface was installed in the Halenbeck South Fieldhouse during the summer of 2006. The facility also houses six regulation size racquetball courts, a wrestling practice room, intramural offices, climbing wall and a human performance laboratory. To the east of Halenbeck and Halenbeck South are outdoor tennis courts. NORDIC SKI: SCSU’s nordic ski team practices at nearby Riverside Park and Greystone Trails, which is located directly across the Mississippi River from the SCSU campus. The Mississippi River also provides many recreation opportunities for the outdoor sports enthusiast, including fishing, canoeing and hiking.
