April 25-27 and it will be the
best ever Bill Ledbetter Rodeo
Chairman announced this week.
The administration has author-
ized $12000 to build 2025 new
seats on the west side of the
rodeo arena and to renovate the
present seats and install them
on the east side of the arena.
This work is being done. When
finished the arena should have
capacity for 4000 fans.
Ticket offices will be erected
for the separate stands. A re-
straining fence has been built to
allow fans to get to the west
stands without walking through
the crowd of cowboys and horses
awaiting the grand entry.
Students will be asked to help
paint fences and clean up the
grounds sometime next week
after the fences have been re-
welded Ledbetter said. This will
be a repeat performance of the
work done 12 years ago after the

arena was completed. At that
time students faculty members
and even several members of
the Board of Trustees joined
forces to paint the fences Led-
better recalled.
Ledbetter emphasized to the
Student Senate Monday that the
Rodeo belongs to the Hardin-
Simmons students. "Whatever
they want we'll have" he said
"even if they want to play
mumbletypeg."
Talk had been circulating on
campus lately that the rodeo
would be cancelled this year be-
cause of .a lack of funds for the
seats and because Texas Techno-
logical College is holding its
rodeo at the same date.
Both problems were solved.
The administration and trustees
alloted the funds to repair the
stands and Texas Tech officials
agreed to co-operate with H-SU
in letting the cowboys compete
in both rodeos.
Contestants will compete in
one rodeo Thursday and Satur-
day evening and the other one
Friday evening and Saturday
afternoon.
The Abilene Chamber of Com-
merce has agreed to decorate the
city during the event and sev-
eral downtown businessmen are
serving on committees to help ;
publicize and plan the event.
"I only ask the students to
spark the spirit for the event"
Ledbetter said.
