COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OAYS MAY 5-6-7, 1961 FORT COLLINS CSU SPINS "RECORDS OF THE WEST"

College Days 1961 celebration marks the fifty-first year this cele­ bration has existed on our campus. During these 51 years it .has grown to be the largest all-school celebration with CSU students and Faculty participating in various activities. It originated as a picnic in 1910 when the entire student body traveled to the Greeley water works for a day of fun. In 1922 this event became known as the "Kow Kollege Karnival" and was produced by Livestock Club. Money obtained from the events was used to send a livestock judging team to Chicago. College Days has changed with time, but the basic theme has con­ tinued as an all-school celebration with the western flavor, and increased in growth of enthusiasm and participation. The rodeo was first held on a field south of the Veterinary Hospital, then moved to Speedway Park, and finally to Durrell Arena. College Days dances have progressed from horse barn to livestock pavilion, gymnasium and finally the Stu­ dent Union. Various special events have been held with a potato race, wheel­ barrow, polo races, and a cow milking contest providing a great deal of excitement and fun. This year's spectacular event will be a frater­ nity wild horse race. Planning of College Days is done through a central committee in conjunction with subcommittees which govern the open houses, publicity, parade, and special ·events. Livestock Club directs the rodeo and western dances and chooses the three College Days Queen finalists. The queen is then chosen by vote of the enhre student body.

COLLEGE DAYS CENTRAL COMMITTEE NEW RECORDS IN HOME ECONOMICS

The College of Home Economics is one of the six colleges at Colo­ rado State University and one of the largest divisions of Home Econom­ ics in the western region of the United States. The eight major courses of study with additional options or areas of specialization, provide many opportunities for women to receive an education for a profession outside the home, for successfully carrying out activities within the home, or for a combination of both. The facilities on our campus are located in Guggenheim Hall, the Home Economics Annex, laboratories for weaving, ceramics and home furnishing, plus an Occupational Therapy laboratory, a preschool, and a home management residence. Improvements of fabrics and methods of construction have estab­ lished many records in the world,of textiles. The Textiles and Clothing and Education Departments ofthe College of Home Economics ~re dis­ playing the variety of new fabrics and the new and proper methods of construction which have made important changes in our style and dress. (Room 21, Guggenheim). An increasing importance has been placed on providing nutritional diets for children. The Foods and Nutrition and Child Development De­ partments are displaying the qualities of an adequate diet for a child through his adolescence, the new equipment used in the kitchen, and improved methods of preparing foods. (Dining room and laboratory, Guggenheim). The Occupational Therapists are exhibiting equipment used for treat­ ment and different braces Jsed. The items made in the laboratories that are being shown include leather articles, woven goods, and various items constructed in the woodshop. (Room 26, Guggenheim). Bulletin boards and show cases illustrate the contrast in old and new appliances used in the home ... The establishment of "New Records in Home Economics."

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

The Agronomy and Horticulture Departments are displaying better horticultural and agronomic products through higher eduaation and im­ proved technology. Bulletins on all related horticulture and agronomy features displayed may be obtained in Room 127 of the Agricultural Building. Animal Science and Poultry Departments in cooperation with Live­ stock Club, Dairy Club, and Poultry Club present a display which is educational and illustrative of the work being carried on at Colorado State University. The display, housed within the Livestock Pavilion, consists of live animals and animal products.

New turkey, chicken, and poultry products will be displayed along with various mutton, beef, and pork-cuts and their by-products.

COLLEGE OF FORESTRY

The College offers educational programs in the following phases of natural resource management and development:

Fisheries Science Forest Management Watershed Manage­ Forest Recreation Forest-Range Management ment Wildlife Management Wood Utilization Range Conservation

The "CSU Foresters" have prepared two displays. These displays may be seen in Room 126 of the Forestry Building.

Multiple Use Management In Action

"CSU Foresters" have initiated a Conservation Project to hold stu­ dent interest and give members an opportunity to apply resource man­ agement knowledge. They have chosen to develop the resources of Hewlett Gulch, a small, low-producing watershed with many land-use problems. Students from the respective sections are in process of planning the wildlife, forest, range, recreation, and watershed manage­ ment needs of this area. The appearance of this area after it has been developed to fuller production by multiple-use management practices, and some of the techniques and practices employed in the process, are shown on a relief-and-resource model of Hewlett Gulch. Modern tools and techniques of accomplishing desired improvement and use of each land resource are also displayed.

Eternal Wood

At high noon, May 6, the Roman God Vulcan will be matched with wood. In the area west of the Forestry building, a dramatic demonstra­ tion of the performance of a wooden beam will be staged. Also the Wood Utilization Section of the Forestry Club will show what new fire retard­ ants can do to reduce fire hazards. COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE

. 1;rhe biennial catalog 1960-61 for CSU describes the course l.n Veter­ inary Medicine, "as offered to a limited number of selected students in a four year professional course designed to meet the needs of those who expect to enter any of the several branches of Veterinary Medicine." Open house at this college will consist of what might be called "A quicktripthrough Vet. School." A graphic display of the areas of study from the Pre-veterinaryrequirement, the course study of the four year professional school, and illustrations of the wide opportunities avail­ bletothe Doctor of Veterinary Medicine will be shown. The Pre-veter­ inary study is a two-year course where the basic ground work is laid down for the study of veterinary medicine. During the Pre-veteri­ narian's sophomore· year, he formally applies to the College of Veteri­ nary Medicine for acceptance. If accepted in the College, he then has four more years of study. The graphic displays will explain the courses undertaken such as anatomy, physiology, surgery, medicine, and many others. After completing six years of school the graduate can go into practice, research, teaching, and public health along with numerous other opportunities. Conducted tours will be offered for public viewing of the displays, hospital facilities, and teaching areas. Third year students in the pro­ fessional course will act as guides for these tours. Fourth year students will conduct actual surgical operations and demonstrate clinical tech­ niques as used in modern veterinary medicine. "Bacteriology at CSU" has made an attempt to show the relationship between bacteriology and the other departments on campus. The dis­ plays will include utensils used by a bacteriology and appropriate post­ ers and cartoons.

" The displays in the Engineering Building Arcade show some of the phases of agriculture which have influenced records of the past in rural electrification, soil and waterpower and machiner~. These branches of agriculture have helped in lessening the man-hours and bettering the working conditions of farming.. Although these records may not be recorded in the archives of western history, every person con­ cerned with agriculture will realize the advances made. On the engineer­ ing grounds are displayed pieces of machinery which set records in the past, and new implements which will set records in agricultural produc­ tion in the future. Everyone is welcome toview the displays and see some of the phases of agriculture which are necessary in this present day and age.

Skyline Stampede------1:00 SKYLINE STAMPEDE

The western theme of C. S. U. 's College Days is emphasized each year by the Skyline Stampede Rodeo. This year marks the fifty-first annual Skyline Stampede, makin·l:! it the oldest intercollegiate rodeo in the United States. The Skyline Stampede is sponsored by Livestock Club and managed entirely by members of this organization. This year's Rodeo consists of three afternoon performances, and is expected to be the largest and the most exciting of all previous Stampedes. The Rodeo will be held at Durrell Arena located at the west end of the campus on South Shields Street. Performances will be held at 1:00 P.M. daily on May 5, 6, and 7; tickets may be obtained at the gate. Due to the outstanding talents of two C. S. U . students, Connie Rosen­ berger and Barbara Yokel, this year's special event category will be highlighted by a trick riding exhibition. An added attraction is the Fraternity Wild-horse Race, an event in which various fraternities and clubs on campus compete with each other in saddling and riding cantankerous horses. A daily appearance of the College Days Queen, Connie Rosenberger, and her attendants, Faye Pilcher and Janie Razor, will bemade at the rodeo. Over three hundred contestants drawn from various sources are ex­ pected to participate in the rodeo, making it one of the largest inter­ collegiate rodeos in the United States. The majority of these will be C. S. U. students, with about twenty teams expected from such colleges and universities as South Dakota State Teacher's College, Wyoming Uni­ versity, and the University of Colorado. Entrants will be competing for $6000 in individual and team prizes. The All Around Champion Cowboy and Cowgirl will each be awarded a saddle, and the high scoring _ school team a trophy. 1 Each year Livestock Club elects a manager and assistant manager for the Skyline Stampede. Although it is an honor for a person to be selected for these positions, it requires a great deal of time and effort to organize an event of this size. The managers are responsible for most of the planning of the rodeo. They, along with their staff and Livestock Club members, manage the entire production. This year's manager is Lowell Goemmer and his assistant, who will be next year's manager, is Chuck Keller.

The Rodeo adds much color and excitement to College Days. "Go western C. S. U. See you at the Skyline Stampede. " WESTERN DANCE

This year's College Days Dance features Hank Thompson and his Brazos Valley Boys. Hank has risen to one of the top country and western personalities in the business and has been voted America's Number-one Western Dance Band for the past seven years. Hank has had over 45 of his songs on the western "Honor Roll of Hits" and con­ sistently places among the Top Ten All-Time Favorites in the country and western music field. Each year Hank and his band tour every state in the nation and all of the provinces of Canada playing leading ballrooms, parks, auditoriums, night clubs, fairs, and rodeos.

The students involved in the show are both talented and experienced in their various specialities, and are looking forward to seeing you there. Prices for the evening shows are $1 general admission and $1. 25 reserved. The Saturday Matinee will be shown for $. 75 per person. COLLEGE DAYS PARADE The 1961 College Days Parade will beSaturday, May6at9:30 A.M. This year the parade will form by the police station north of La Porte Avenue and begin at the corner of Howes and La Porte. The route runs east to College Avenue and then travels south on College to Garfield, which is on the north side of the C. S. U. football field. The parade will then turn west on Garfield and proceed to the stop sign by the Student Union and distribute around the oval to remain on display until 5:00 P. M .

We hope the parade this year will be better than ever. There are three float divisions, two of which are new, the Mixed Greek and Single Greek divisions. Mixed Greek consists of a fraternity and sorority building a float together, and the Single Greek is either a fraternity or sorority building a float alone. Third is the Open division in which any campus organization except the Greek houses may enter.

The parade will have many extras including bands, the College Days Queen and her attendants, riding groups, antique cars, a double-fronted car, precision marching groups, and several well known personalities. SPECIAL EVENTS Many new activities and events have been added to College Days for an exciting and colorful weekend. Three tried and true events to add to this gaiety are a Barbecue, Street Dance, and special Talent Show from Wyoming. All will be held Thursday, May 4.

In the Cave of the Student Union is one of a series of inter-school talent exchange programs sponsored cooperatively by the Union Boards of participating schools. At this show entertainment will be provided by Wyoming University. At 5:30P.M. the Bar-B-Q will be served on the lawn between Ellis and Newsom Halls. The dance is a combination carnival and street dance co-sponsored by the Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi fraternities. Open to all, this event provides games, dancing and fun. It will be held at the tennis courts in back of the men's gymnasium. A nominal fee will be asked, all proceeds going to a worthwhile charity. LIVESTOOK CLUB BANQUET The Livestock Club sponsors a banquet for both alumni and students interested in the western festivities included in College Days. Many alumni attend this banquet to catch up on the activities that have been added since their days at C. S. U. Entertainment is always on hand to a.dd to the delicious meal. This year an added fea,ture will be the pre­ sentation .of lifetime passes to the past presidents• of Livestock Club and past managers of the Skyline Stampede and Little National Western. This pass will enable them to attend all of these activities.
