'Vi mv lib vw f 1 5 HEY! WHAT'S ALL THAT NOISE OUTSIDE? Convertibles and rain were the background for THE big day in the Drake year-Skip Day, of course. This day outranks even the last day of finals for celebration and enthusiasm. This year Skip Day was held on Monday, October 9, after a 21-6 football victory over the State College of Iowa. fThis reason for having the celebration is usually forgotten by all but the football playersj. With bells ringing, students sing- ing, cheerleaders chanting, S-FC presidents ranting, and Spike skipping around, Drake scholars an- nounced to Des Moines and the whole world that it certainly was a nice thing to cut all Monday classes and be excused. The courage and persistence of the student body has never been more evident than it was when hundreds rode three miles to the State Capital, in a cold drizzly rain, with convertible tops down, to receive the official blessing from Governor Norman Erbe. QNormally wouldn't everyone have stayed in bed?J After the jubilant and damp parade which was escorted by police and Skip Andrew fsome freshman did think it was Skip's Dayj, the crowd returned to campus where a picnic lunch was served. UD Then the students adjourned-no doubt, to study the rest of the day. Strange that the library was so empty.
