This proves that war against unfair po litical tactics has really begun and that Queens-Chicora can sponsor elections which involve no group or organization cliques. When a girl is nominated for a student government office, she is representing tlie student body, not her particular social or ganization or group of friends, and it is not for the glory of that group that she is to be elected, but for the benefit of the student body as a whole. We are learning now, to put persoiuil prejudices aside and consider the capability of the girl and let that alone influence our vote. This atti tude is a forward step in the creation of a true school spirit, and isn’t tliat wiiat we want for Queens-Chicora? WE RECOGNIZE Just the other day stie was tapped for A]]jha Ka])]>a Gamma. Her ea])ability, leadersliip and willing serviee merited her this award and wo who know her are glad . . . be cause as president of the Home Economics Clubs of North Carolina, sujK'rvisor of Day Student lunches and numerous other activities she has served to the best of her ability. 'I'he seniors recognized her as deserving two distinctions in their list of super latives and it is witli equal pleasure that -we recognize . . . John Wright. Chessy Chats Last year's one and only co-ed was back on campus the other day- visiting an old classmate this time Our librarian was overheard com paring someone to an old china plate —“Not cracked—but quaint,” she quipped with her usual brittle humor. Betsy had a lovely time in Norfolk over the holidays (Part of Davidson went along too). What’s this we hear about Helen Williford's wreck? The latest thing, girls, is to paint your light bulbs; but our advice would be not to use any form of grease paint. And did we hear a rumor going 'round of male visitors in North? Miss Harrell is certainly cupid’s chief marksman. Jler latest case for target ])ractiee (and wo hear it’s turning out beautifully) is one blonde senior and a Duke botany professor. Nancy, we wish you and Ed would set a definite date—or is it set? 'riiis is a scoop! and a real one at that! From a very reliable source we iiear that one of our number is secretly married. And Pittsy—tliere's that you and Sammy trij) down the aisle too. been rumor are soon to CO OPERATION Eacli year the editorial pen i.s dip))ed deeply into ink for tlic })urpo.se of making tlie student.s realize how e.ssential co-operation is to the success of our campus life. And each year the editorials are read or not read hut indifferent students go on. Often we feel that writing an editorial of this sort i.s futile, useless, and unnecessary in that no response is made by you. 'lurning in desperation to Webster's definition of co-ojieratioii T found that co-operation means “tlie association or collective action of persons for their common benefit, or our common benefit.” Co-operation for the betterment of Queens College. So many times we have heard that we get out of college just what we put in it. College life is no different, for we get out of college life just wliat we jiiit in it. Tliere are many things on the campus from wliicli you would derive many jileasiircs if you would only enter in. Our liteiury societies are Itadly in need of new life, new s}>irit. They will die oil tlieir feet from lack of co-ojicratioii. Student government, athletic assoi iation, Christian association, and iiiiiiiincrablc otlicr tilings need you. Tliat, however, is not tlie way to ajipcal to you. So I riTturn to Meli.sJcr—“Tlie association or collective action of persons for their common benefit, our common benefit.” PUBLIC OPINION Buhlic oiHiiion can make or break every phase of life that concerns the public or in wliich tlie inildie is interested. We, the ])ublic condemn persons, make persons great by our opinions. Opinions of tlie public —attitude of the jiublic—can make a rule or custom or it can break it. Ill our own liistory comes tlie ease of Woodrow Wilson’s I.eague of Nations. Tliese United States rejected memberslii,, because of public opinion. More recently comes and goes our eigliteentb amendment. Public opinion after the war made the sale and use of intoxicating beverages illegal in 19:52 public opinion did away witli the amendment and made the sale and use of wliiskey legal. Publie opinion made and broke the eighteenth amendment. And so, public opinion rules. Public opinion of the student determines tlie fate of measures and plans in the campus. Our dean of instruction has made new plans and rules relative to class attendance. Our attitude toward cla.ss attendance and to the rule governing it i.s what counts. Public opinion can make or bi'eak. Our opinion i.s, I lu.pe, an adult one. ’We should realize that we are college students and should ,,lace our own valuation upon class attendance. The opinion of the students, whether the students support a program or not, is the thing which creates the spirit on the campus whicli in turn makes the college. ’ Open Letter From Our President As tliis is the last issue of The Queens Blues for tlie current ses sion, I am taking advantage of an 0]>})ortunity very graciously offered me to say a word about next year. The outlook is very promising in deed. We have a greater enrollment at this time of the year than ever before, and we have hundreds and luindreds of ])rospects before us. We are going to enroll to the fullest caj)acity and will secure outside ac commodations, if necessary. I want to remind tlie students that wlien application for tlie admission of a iK'w student is sent in, accom panied by $10.(X), and the name of the soliciting student lieing on the ap plication blank, a clieck for $5.00 will he sent immediately. Students who expect to have tlieir rooms next year should enroll for them now, and confirm this choice by the first day of July. The confirma tion is by sending in a reservation fee of $10.00. We will have to be very strict about tlie enforcement of this rule this year, because of the large number who are applying. Now, if you want your room, reserve it be fore you leave and eoiifirm reserva tion on July 1. J rusting that you will have a very lileasaut summer’s vacation, and looking forward to the return of all who do not graduate, I am. Yours very truly, W. H. FRAZER. 1 lie ]-laster Bunny lirought Nancy a nice new Pika pin—(])lus the cor sage of course). Wliat do we s])y on Miss Martha (irace Hood s lajiel lint a liriglit new N. C. State pin! Well, well. Mis.s “Marlene Dietrich’’ Whiddon is still dividing her time between Duke University and Queens Infirm- arv. Did _v on see another faculty mem ber besides Dr. Ninnis sleeping tlirough chajiel tiie other day? There are signs of spring on the campus other than the iris and dog wood blossoms . . . Wild yells from the gym, punctuated with dull thuds mean basketball . . . Japanese May Day plans are being discussed and some of our number are glad for the first time that they are red headed . . . there's time to walk after din ner every night . . . and in the spring, y’know, a college girl’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love as witnessed by the fact that there are more dates on these long spring evenings . . Helen and Hank, Margaret and George being among those ab.sent most often lately . . . It’s a good tiling Mrs. Wilson doesn't have to nurse all the cases of spring fever in the current epidemic, but she does have a case of poison ivy to put u|) with . . . (yes—Spring brings other growing things besides flowers, Nancy) Don’t our seniors look dig nified in their bright blue jackets? Wonder if they are glad or sorry this is their last year—(Sjiring also, say sophomores, bring term ])a])ers.) I'here arc many wlio will be over joyed when, in receiving tlieir new privileges, will be allowed to .spend their dating niglits at a movie. Others too, will be glad to see some of the regular Burwell bench-warmers take off and vacate tiieir usual places in tlie most coveted corner of Ganiina Hall. We are not mentioning names, but our remarks are directed espe cially to that Queen and Davidsonian who hoth wear a Pi Kappa Phi pin. OVRKHEARD—Peggy Sloop eoni- iiienting on tlie fact tliat that darling new navy print of Miss Edwards’ carries a liint of surrealism . . . Dr. Byrd summing up the Supreme Court situation in a nursery ditty . . . Miss Harrell rushing over to someone ex- -itedly with, “I liave a new joke—” The A D Pi’s reviewing their house jiarty for an interested audience. A eoiqile of junior day students; “Who're you gonna ask for Junior- Senior?’ “I duimo—Jack’s grandest looking, but George would send an orchid.” Ninety-two [ler cent of the fresh men at Pennsylvania State College liave voted tliat a college woman should get married before she’s 25. JUST SO MUCH INK hor those of us wlio would like to know about the growth of Ameri can ojiera and get that knowledge in a comprehensive and really inter esting form, Irving Kolodin, of the staff of the Acre York 8un has writ ten “The Metropolitan Opera.’’ His book is filled with entertaining and amusing incidents whieli have oc curred in tile Metrojiolitan Opera House eoneerning the most celebrated stars of grand opera, and is well wortli reading. Not long ago I read an article on tlie possibility of producing grand ojiera for cinema. Some of the im mortal classics and most famous of Sluikes))eare's plays have been made into movies and been tremendous box office hits. Such grand opera stars as Idly Pons, Nino Martini, and Marion I alley have made successful motion )>ietnre.s and it seems (]uite logical tliat screen versions of Carmen, k'aaxL, and others of tile most famous operas could be made which would bring true grand opera to broader fields of tile American public. BRAINSTORM Eugenia I,affitte and Isabel Turner attended a convention of Alpha Delta Pi last week at George Washington University in Wasliington, D. C. The ))lot of Universal’s new “When Love Is Young” hinges around a senior class prophecy. Maybe they’re right at that! N oniinations for officers have been going in full swing for weeks now— and we propose some personal nom inations for characteristics of others of our number. I-or tile most vivid of imaginations we nominate Anneal Triplett; Of our faculty, the most precise. Miss Jones; for the most jioise when performing, Martlia Stewart; the driest of wit Ora I.ee D., and for the art of defy ing Emily Post and all convention in wearing hats to breakfast, Vera r. Boulware. T hen there are tliose adjectives which so aptly describe some, that we couldn’t resist the following al literations; Hilarious Henrietta, Per sonable Peggy, Artistic Ashley, Math ematical Martlia Grace, Regal Re becca Ann, Idiotic Ippy, Glamorous Gracie, Loquacious Lil, Rotund Rosie, Sophisticated Susan, Jocund Jo and Animated Anita. Collegiate World COLLEGIATE PRESS Chicago, Illinoi.s—(ACP)—Prayers by Big Ten basketball coaches for seven-foot centers have ceased teiii- liorarily and perlia})S jiermanently. .411 because the Big Ten mentors voted, in a recent meeting during the sessions of tlie National Basketball Coaches’ association, to abandon the eenter-juni]) for the 1937-.S8 cani- [laign. It was explained that the new prac tice, adopted unanimously, would merely be on trial during the next periods and after technical and double tion would depend on the coaches’ reaction to it after a year’s testing. Under the new ruling, the jump at center will be used only at the be ginning of the game, at the start of the half, at the opening of overtime periods and after technical and double fouls.
