South Dakota State College - Jack Rabbit Yearbook (Brookings, SD)

Never in memory has a Hobo Day parade been ruined by the weather. This one won't be an exception. The other night students from the Univer- sity of South Dakota paid a visit to our campus, three carloads of them. You know I don't particularly like to be smeared up by red paint. They were picked up by the State police and will have to answer for this infringement of the pact signed by State, Augie and the University. Probably nothing will happen, knowing the lawyers from the U. Fm glad none of our students lowered themselves to this level. Presi- dent Leinbach spoke to our students asking them not to retaliate. l've got faith in them, so I know they wonit do that but will let the team uphold State next week on the football field. This was certainly a big week. State's fine Ag judging team took second place in the Kansas City Stock Show. 'l hat's one division here at State doesn't seem to get the proper amount of publicity it deserves. HOBO D Y

Dr. Leinbach was appointed director of the Freedom Crusade at South Dakota State College. The students contributed to this worthy cause as they contributed to all the others. Five men were pledged to Sigma Delta Chi: Cecil Jahraus, business manager of the Jack Rabbit, Gordon Bjerke, news editor of the High School Editor, Herbert Liedle, associate editor of the J ack Rabbit, Richard Mathieu, editor of the Jack Rabbit, and George Hazard, business manager of the Col- legian. Lt. Colonel J. Pope Blackshear said the army had granted his request for a 120 quota of advanced military students. There were more than 600 students enrolled in ROTC this year. Two more students were called into active service by the reserves, Charles R. Koehne, Rapid City, and Arthur Hoffman, Leola.- If this keeps up all year the campus will look like a sheik's harem. Dr. Neils Hansen died today, October 5. Known as the Burbank of the Plains, Dr. Hansen devoted most of his life to the development of plants. He was connected with State College for over half a century. I remember in 1895 when Dr. Hansen became head of the horticulture department at State. Perhaps some of those young men studying botany or horticulture right now will be another Neils Hansen, I do hope so. Coach Ginn's charges whipped Aug- ustana. Those Vikings were tough. They led the Jacks 12-7 at half-time before weakening in the final period to lose 20-12. This team looks like the best State College ever put on a field, and we had some great teams in the past. Coffee is now 7c a cup. Can't see why that should start up such a stir? When that old temperature drops to below zero weather I wish someone would bring me some of that java. That grid team did it again. Smother- ing North Dakota State 60-0. It looks to me as if that Warren Williamson just can't be stopped once he starts to roll. The backfield is doing a fine job, but too much credit can't be given to State's fine line, with Don Bartlett, offensive end, and Howard Amen, offensive cen- ter, leading the way. All the past week Gayle Gilbert, Hobo Day Chairman, and his staff have been working hard to see that all the floats are ready for the Hobo Day parade and all the details of this 39th annual homecoming are smoothed out.

I saw that Jane Gilkerson walking by the other day, and she looked like anything but a hobo. I watched all those floats line up be- fore the parade. Each year Hobo Day grows bigger and better. It's a shame the wind had to be blowing so hard. Those printers worked hard on their float and I'm sure it would have taken 3: BEER IME 'H W s Km ss- and 1 iv as an as as me is i M 'miss Ennis me na Hmm H a prize if that wind hadn't blown it apart. The Pharmics did it again. As long as I can remember they almost always won the prize for the most beautiful float. It was Warren Williamson again in the Hobo Day game, scoring all three of the J ackrabbit touchdowns. And what a way to tie a ball game - score two touchdowns in the last quarter of play. The thing that impressed me
