BACKGROUND NOTE
The Jackrabbit Sports Information Service is the
department that officially reports on athletic activities at South
Dakota State University.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
This series is composed of The Bum, a
periodical produced first by the Society of Professional Journalists
and later by the Jackrabbit Sports Information Service on the campus
of South Dakota State University. The Bum is the official
program for South Dakota State University home football and
basketball games. As of the mid-1970s, it is edited and published by
the Jackrabbit Sports Information Services, printed by the South
Dakota State University Printing Lab. The Bum is published
for each home game, with the cost paid for with non-state funds.
The Bum
was originally published by the South Dakota State University
Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. This society was
started on campus in 1937. The Society of Professional Journalists
is a broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to encouraging
the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of
ethical behavior. Founded in 1901 as Sigma Delta Chi, this society
promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed
citizenry; works to inspire and educate the next generation of
journalists; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of
speech and press. It existed on campus until the 1980s.
Between 1940 and the mid-1970's, this society
published The Bum and The Junior Bum. The Bum
was the official program for Jackrabbit football and printed
primarily for Hobo Day. The Junior Bum was eventually added
as the official program for Jackrabbit basketball. Proceeds from the
sale of these publications funded the society's annual trip to the
Sigma Delta Chi national convention.
In the mid-1970's, the SDSU Chapter of Sigma Delta
Chi lost its sponsor to the National Society of Professional
Journalists. As a result, the publishing of The Bum and
The Junior Bum was no longer a financial benefit for the
society. The Jackrabbit Sports Information Service, a service
provided by the Athletic Department, took over the responsibility of
publishing these programs.
