Salt Grass Trail
Opens Big Week
By Larry Farmer
The thunder of hoofbeatsand shouts of "hy-yo, Silver"
will signal the approach of the furry-faced riders of the
Salt Grass Trail, and officially open Western Week
festivities on the campus.
The ride will begin at 1 p.m. at Tyrrell Park. A new
innovation, the ride will become an annual affair if it
proves successful. A chuck wagon supper and sing-song
will take place on the campus after the ride.
Monday is the deadline for clubs to file their candi-
dates for the Ugly Man Contest, sponsored each year by
the Kollege Klub. The contest this year may prove to
be very interesting, because Dr. Richard W. Setzer,
sponsor of the Revelers, is the-Southern Belles' can-
didate. Check your guns, girls!
An old fashioned hayride is on the agenda for Monday
night with all students invited. The Southern Belles
should be contacted for details.
The special Western Week assembly will take place
at 10 a.m. Tuesday in the auditorium with the trial of
a notorious character of the Old West taking the spot-
light. Tuesday night the carnival rolls into town and
sets up in the gym. WRA promises a wide variety of
concessions, booths and games of skill to make the
evening an enjoyable and exciting one. The various
campus organizations will be in charge of activities.
A typical western entertainment spot opens its doors
for a one night stand on Wednesday in the form of the
Bella Union Saloon. The Revelers and Zeta Chis will
act as hostesses.
There will be no classes between 10-12 a.m.Thursday
and all students are urged to take part in the many
contests and games that will take place at this time.
There will be sack races, whip cracking contests,
ducking machines, photo shops and many other events
taking place.
The grand finale takes place Friday night in the gym
with an all college western dance. The music will be
supplied by Slim Watts and his Hillbilly All Stars. Price
of admission is $1 per couple and $1.25 stag. So, do-
si-do on over.
It is going to be an exciting and entertaining week, so
jit in the saddle and let's cut 'em off at the draw,
odnuh! Hi-yo Gluefactory, away!
