C.S.U. SPINS . 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. Being displayed will be milk pro­ ducts taken from the Colorado State University dairy farm and processed in the laboratory of the Animal Science Building. 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. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Mechanical Engineering The Mechanical Engineering Department will have demoJlstrations located throughout the A wing of the Engineering Building. In the Mechanical Engineering laboratory there will be a hot air engine, an air conditioning apparatus, a fuel research engine and other demonstra­ tions of mechanical machines. There will also be displays such as a supersonic wind tunnel, vibration platform, and a smoke tunnel. Electrical Engineering The Electrical Engineering Deparment will hav~ a number of exhibits set up in the C wing oft he Engineering Building. Heading these displays will be Elmer the robot. Elmer is a real live robot that talks, moves his head, and his eyes light up. There will also be a marble counter which separates different colored marbles, a model of a short circuit transmission line, a magnetic reciprocating engine, a radar installation which will actually scan the surrounding country side, and many other exhibits. These exhibits will show the many applications which are made of electricity. Agricultural Engineering This year, the Agricultural Engineering display depicts "Records of the West. " 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. Civil Engineering Civil Engineering displays will be set up in the B Wing of the Engineering Building and the Hydraulics laboratory at the west end of the Engineering Building. Displays will include scale models, demon­ strations by students, and exhibits on testing machinery in the Civil Engineering laboratories.
