It's Ag Week.
• •
.when the good ol' tobacco-spitting, pie-eating , cow pucky-kicking country spirit in everybody has a chance to find an outlet. Thursday was a big day on the Quad for sawhorse ropers, left, and for pig-chasers , above, who welcomed the event with all the enthusiasm of an elementary school field day - just look at their faces. The pig even seemed to get a good laugh out of it. Coated with a layer of Crisco, the squeaky little swine evaded his pursuants for several minutes. Myron Casdorph tackled the creature and captured the dubious honor of winner of the Greased Pig Contest. That'll look good on a resume. But the best is yet to come. Today at high noon on the Quad is the Cow Chip Throw, where, as advertised , you can "watch your college dean 'throw the bull.,,. Then at 2:30 p.m. over yonder at the Amphitheatre there'll be the annual Milk Maid Contest, wrapping up Ag Week for this year. Bring the kids, dog and a picnic basket.
