Broadcaster Press 07 September 30, 2014 www.broadcasteronline.com n USD From Page 04 construction of the business school, the Law Library, the Lee Medical Building, and multiple dormitories. He watched as Dakota Days would survive a period where women at USD would worry about their former classmates’ survival abroad than who would take them to a dance. When the war ended and women had set a tone of such importance that would carry to this day. Dakota Days took on special meaning: The boys were coming home. With them they would find many more men wanting to join the party. While all that was happening. Weeks also watched the rise of two prominent men on the USD campus that would help define the culture at USD once again. Patterson, Farber: Defining USD men Robert Patterson became a dean at the USD Business School in 1946 and stepped into the high demands of an increasing enrollment and worked to improve programs available and strengthening the school. Ultimately the business school was fully accredited five years later. “He was a hard-nosed, no-nonsense character,” Muenster said. “Legend has it – and I didn’t experience this personally – but he actively discouraged women from enrolling in business school because he didn’t they had a place in the business community. He thought they belonged in the home. He was a legendary character.” Tuve said Patterson was a history major that found his way into business. “I’m not sure how he got into business, but his son would talk about how (Patterson) came out of history (studies),” Tuve, who attended USD in the mid-60s and knew of the former dean, said. “But boy did he run a tight ship. Women could be in business education and take typing and stenography, but the first woman that probably made a difference out of that school graduated in about 1970. It was very difficult for women before that.” Before Patterson arrived, William O’Farber had already been on the USD campus for a decade. Farber began his career as a professor of political science at The University of South Dakota (USD) in 1935. He served as chair of the Department of Government (now the Department of Political Science) from 1937 until 1976. “He was considered Tom Brokaw’s mentor,” Muenster said of the celebrated news anchor and journalist. “Depending on who you listen to, Farber pulled Brokaw out of a trash can and set him on his career. He Edith B.

He would extract young men with great potential and they would be called ‘Farber Boys’ and helped them in political careers.” Farber, a lifelong bachelor, and Patterson had similar views about the roles of women, but most things stopped there. “They were two rival, power centers on the campus,” Muenster said. “Farber would tell someone ‘You want to be a dentist? The perfect preparation is political science.’ Or he’d say ‘You want to be an astrophysicist? The perfect preparation is political science.’ He could recruit people with the force of his persistence and personality.” As students on campus benefitted from both men’s roles and significance at USD, the Dakota Days, that survived the times of war and saw homecoming mean something much deeper than during other times before and after, continued to be a landmark time in Vermillion. After school years were shortened to fill the needs of the wars and being “confused and befuddled” according to Weeks, the campus was brimming with a large population of nontraditional and married students. Fraternities and dormitories were tuna can stuffed and that would lead to Weeks’ moves to expand living arrangement. But there was nothing that could deter Dakota Days and the added number of students would add to the flavor of the Homecoming festivities. It became one of the busier seasons of the school year. More students brought more needs and interests and the Days expanded to fulfill more students’ desires to make the event even bigger. The Greek system grew – a third of the students on campus were affiliated with a fraternity or sorority – while religion began to play a bigger role from the 30s GUBBELS SALVAGE Wanted: • Old Cars • RV Motorhomes • Farm Machinery • Irrigation Systems • Any Type of Scrap Iron • Grain Bin Removal Paying Top Dollar Will Pick Up through the 50s. A growing population brought more attention and even in 1962 the nationally famous Chad Mitchell Trio played the Dakota Day dance. Even Marilyn Peterson (class of 1966) would be chosen as Miss Vanity Fair in 1963. USD had survived a war of epic proportions and the early days of the Cold War, to see an increase in student population that brought more texture to Dakota Days. Students were enjoying a ‘Golden Age’ according to KUSD sports announcer Chuck Ruhr over 50 years ago. Those days would be challenged to maintain its course and the student population would come under threat of a military draft and the growing shadow of Vietnam. From another war that tore a nation apart, to disco, to Reaganomics, the Dakota Days would carry on.
