There was Ag Koval day each spring. It boasted a parade of floats constructed by Ag campus groups. It had a queen. Then there was Home Ke flay. I’nlike Ag Koval with its campus-wide appeal, it was intended only for Home Ke majors. Finally there was Foresters' day. Though the promotion of a relatively small, but highly aggressive bunch—the Forestry club—it always had attracted much attention on both campuses. Perhaps interest sprang from the age-old feud between foresters and engineers. But the Ag Student council felt too many people were being assailed by too many parades and queens. They derided to consolidate and call the event Kitchi Gesliig which is Iroquois for big day. And a big day it was. too. There was a parade that meandered around Ag campus, finally straggling down Como avenue to Main campus. A queen. Cynthia Gray, was chosen. A horse show, planned for the fair grounds' Hippodrome, then for Main campus' indoor sports arena, finally was performed on the Ag athletic field. The council, encouraged by the enthusiasm and the crowds, felt, as its ads in the Daily proclaimed, that a tradition was being Imru. But during the year, the Forestry club, a group of individualists, decided not to endorse the plan completely. After all, il fell. Foresters' day did break even and attract crowds. Why lose identity in Kitchi Gcshig and allow the engineers' feud to pass away? The foresters decided to keep their day and participate also in Kitchi Gcshig. Their's was enthusiasm that refused to be dissipated on one celebration. I'iiRc 26
