The Wyoming Days committee, chairmaned this year by Dave Hal- lowell, is in complete charge of planning the tour made through the state by campus talent each spring. In addition to mapping the route for the show, which seeks to ac- quaint high school seniors with the many sides of campus life, the com- mittee picks the personnel from campus try outs. ' JreshmaH Orientation To help incoming freshmen get their feet on more solid campus ground, the Freshman Orientation committee plans a full slate of ac- tivities for the first-time Cowboys. Highlight of the program is the freshman steak fry, held first thing in the fall at the University recrea- tion camp. In addition to the steak fry, the committee sponsors a bar- becue, a freshman assembly, and a freshman handbook — the Dude. LEFT TO RIGHT: Chairman Jordan (Digger) Smith, Gerald Farmer, Karen Benson, Shirley Woolington, Ron Smith. Student Mtivities and Zraditions This committee seeks to combat the theory that The only tradition at the University of Wyoming is the tradition of not having any tradi- tions. The Student Activities and Traditions committee picks the cheerleaders, arranges numerous pep assembhes throughout the year, and in general promotes that intangible — school spirit. LEFT TO RIGHT: Chairman Minta Willis, Claude Mapes, Martha Kurtz, Mar Ellen Savage. i 26

Cowboy Capers One of the more organized high- lights of spring at the University of Wyoming (much more organized than the impromptu affairs at Happy Jack and Vedauwoo, for instance) is the Cowboy Capers program, under the direction of a Senate committee of the same name. This committee plans and administers the variety show, which is a campus holiday for satire. The group also presents the trophies. LEFT TO RIGHT: Chairman Jim Gallup, Jack Frost, Jeri Anselmi, Tom Lockhart, Pat Huntley, Lou Ann Jarrelt, Harold Cole, Otto Nakano. PublicatioHs Things are seldom dull in meetings of this committee, which threshes out the often-difficult problems of campus publication policy. Never dull, as witness the battle over the campus humor magazine, Yahoo — a battle not without precedent in UW history. The group also con- siders applications for editors ' posts on the humor mag, the Branding Iron, and Wyo. LEFT TO RIGHT: Chairman Dick Bohrer, Prof. Wilson O. Clough, Lucy Ito, Rae Lee Kreps, Chuck Richardson. SkdioHS Responsibility for the smooth run- ning of all ASUW elections belongs to this committee, headed by John Flitner. All aspects of the senatori- al, presidential, and Homecoming queen elections fall under the juris- diction of this group, which handles both primary and general elections. Election day sees the Senators take to their poll stations, to determine eligible voters and thwart ballot-box stuffers. LEFT TO RIGHT: Chairman John Flitner, John Tanner, Rae Lee Kreps, Dick Masters, Lucy Ito, Lany Slotta. 27
