Agri Day, Lambda As Greeks of the olden clays used to participate in the annrial chariot races with much enthusiasm, so the Greeks on the A-State campus have their races in the form of the I ittle S00 Pushcart Derby, sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. This affair attracted most of the students on campus because of the professionally constructed pushcarts and the unusually wild color combinations accented on them. Along with the Pushcart Derby at the close of the year came the Agri Day Rodeo. A week long rain proceeding the Chi Pushcart Derby event provided a hinderance for the cowboys racing for exact timing and skill that are essential to outstanding riding in this event. 1 lowever, this handicap for the cowboys paved the way for entertainment not usually enjoyed at such an affair. Each year the Agriculture Department sponsors the Agri Day Rodeo to present to the students a different type of entertainment and to give the Agri students an oppor- tunity to improve on their skills that are usually beneficial to them during the summer vacation. 2?
