Ball State names building for Letterman

Ball State University plans to name its new communication building after David Letterman, a 1970 graduate.

Letterman has often mentioned Ball State on his CBS "Late Show" talk show. The school has had a Letterman Scholarship in the Department of Telecommunications since 1985.

Ball State President Jo Ann Gora said the idea to name the facility for Letterman was first mentioned among trustees about a year ago but he was reluctant because he didn't want the attention.

Letterman's mother, Dorothy Mengering, attended Monday's announcement by the board of trustees in his hometown of Indianapolis. "I'm so thrilled that David finally decided to let them do this for him," said Mengering, 86. "He's a very special young man, and I'm very proud of him."
