ET Cowpokes Ream Campus It was 'fhowdyf' Uyippeef' stick-em- up, and don't fence me inn for three days when Western Week galloped onto the campus, October 20-22. The big annual event thundered officially into existence with the selection of a VVestern Week King fBobby jonesj and Queen QDarla Redfernj to set off a stampede of Western activities. Western relics and customs, such as ten gallon hats, Colt 45's, big, bushy beards, Sheriffs, deputies, outlaws, jails, rodeos, make-up or shaving permits, shindig-dances, parades, and trail break- fasts reigned along with the king and queen. Competitive sports like nail-driving and corn husking were reserved especially for cowgirls. Carolyn Cross and Sara Sharp took the upper hand and won the blue-ribbon prizes. Upperclassmen and freshmen cow- boys grimly applied muscle-strength in a tug-0-war fthe upperclassmen were out- tuggedj, while other cowpokes attempted to show skill at such jobs as tobacco- spitting and potato-peeling. Whoops and hollers accompanied two nights of rodeo events which included bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, ribbon roping, calf tie down, bull dogging, and a pig race. Climaxing all these extra-curricular Old West antics was an all-college dance on the city square which featured an out- of-town western band. Then the howdy's, yippie'sf' Colt 45's and ten-gallon hats were stored away to await the next Western Week. Coeds chased greased pigs at the rodeo. Chi Omega took first place both nights. Kalir members Betty Davis and Carolyn Williamson struggle with their prize pig . Freshmen cowboys out-wrungledu the upperclassmen in the lug-0-Will' contest. 11 vrlvmmum whr1vurwn.o- ur runnunmnnufsinnxnm -:muI'ru:nn'..nlnnl:nnan11..u.ux. ua.:.1.ur: v
