Big success for annual Derby Day
This weekend marked the 18th annual Sigma Chi Derby Day at the University of Kansas. From the opening barrage of water balloons and calisthenic warm-ups until the final awarding of trophies, the weekend turned out to be a success.
Some events for this year included a "grapefruit sweep" involving a grapefruit and a manually operated broom tied to a coed's back, "the quest" which was an egg search in a trough filled with flour, a wagon race, called the "Derby 500" and a "find me" contest in which contestants were assigned an animal sound and had to find another person making the same sound.
Besides the events, there were awards for spirit, overall competition and a Miss Derby Day contest.
The Alpha Delta Pi's, last year's overall champions, won the first place spirit award and the Alpha Phi's took second.
Kappa Alpha Theta won the overall competition and walked away with the first place traveling trophy. The Delta Delta Delta team placed second.
Miss Derby Day was Nancy Tippit, Paola sophomore representing Alpha Delta Pi.
Judges for the weekend events were Chancellor and Mrs. E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., John Morrow, assistant professor of biology, William L. Robinson, assistant to the dean of men, Jay Strayer, assistant to the dean of men and Mrs. Lelya Fields, Sigma Chi housemother.
The profits from this year's Derby Day will be given to the Wallace Village for Children in Bloomfield. Colo., a rehabilitation center for mentally handicapped children.
Derby Day was initiated in 1930 at the University of California Sigma Chi fraternity. Since then it has become a tradition with chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Although the rules and events for Derby Day vary from year to year and from campus to campus, the competition is always between women's living groups in events requiring speed, stamina, and laughter.
