There are none beyond the Mississippi River. The foreign Countries are Panama, Belgian Congo, Brazil, and Germany. As is to be expected. North Carolina supplies the largest number of students from any one state with 257, or 67.6% of the entire student body. Of these 141 live in Charlotte. Day stu dents comprise approximately of the Queens registration. South Carolina is second, send ing 42 students to Queens, or 11% of the total. Georgia and ^ginia are tied for third place, ^Ith 18 students each. Florida comes fifth with 10, and Tennes- ^00 and West Virginia are tied sixth with 8 students from ®^oh state.

Pana- ^s represented by two stu- oth ^ this year, and each of the foreign countries by one apiece. An bv ^^Mysis of these figures classes shows that the fresh- ®n have the smallest propor- ^°n of students from states be- yond the two Carolinas, with 8-5% coming from North Caro- hna, 10.2% from South Carolina, d% from Florida, 5.1% from Georgia, and the remainder of the class from five other states and one foreign country.

Frances MaePherson Faculty Plots New Gold Rush Students hearing violent ex plosions, the firing of rifles and pistols, the cracking of whips, and the galloping of horses’ feet during the next few days are advised to keep on their sweat ers. Far from being manifesta tions of the A-bomb or H-bomb, the sounds are merely evidence that the faculty are practising scenes for Stunt Night. Plans released by the commit tee in charge of program, cast ing, and recuperation afterwards, reveal that the short tiUe of the faculty extravaganza is to be THE GOLD RUSH, or THE MER RY MOVEMENT WESTWARD. Details are still in a state of flux as The Blues goes to press, but enough facts are available to give a general idea of the entertainment in store for what is hoped (by the Seniors) to be a full house. The will be presented by The Gir of the Golden West (with apolo gies to Puccini), impersonated by Helen Strickland. The first scene of the drama proper will present the Steering Committee in charge of the Rus^ Big Steer Blakely, Middle-sized Steer Sweet, and Baby Steer (to be played by a newcomer to the resin of Ninniss Auditorium) will officiate in dispatching e pioneers in quest of gold, oil. rich husbands for poor wives, and rich wives for poor hus- bands. Headline parts will be: the Old Prospector Parson Kit Car- son; Barfly Bufflo Bill Robert s' Frisco Kid McNeill, Lone Ranger Burks, General Custer Q.E.D. Hoyle, and Billy the Kid McCutchan. Social episodes in the opening of the Golden West, all to the theme of Mule Train, will be depicted by: Siox City Sue By- nom.

SElEaS THREE PROJECTS AS POSSIBLE OBJECTS OF DRIVE Ruth Bryan Rohde Speaks At Queens Ruth Bryan Rohde will lecture in Ninniss Auditorium at 8:15 p.m., Tuesday, February 21, ac cording to announcement made by the Committee on Concerts and Lectures. Mrs. Rohde has not stated the specific subject of her address, but she is an authority on international re lations, diplomacy, and North Europe. As current chairman of the Speakers’ Research Committee for the United Nations and Chair man of the National Woman’s Forum, Mrs. Rohde is directly in formed on the problems of World Peace and interested in the edu cation of the world to peace. Mrs. Rohde holds the distinc tion of having been the first woman to represent a southern state in the House of Represen tatives, having served as Con gresswoman from the 4th Dis trict in Florida in the 71st and 72nd Congress. Later, in 1933, she was appointed Minister to Denmark and became the first woman diplomat to represent the United States abroad. The daughter of William Jen nings Bryan, golden tongued orator known as “The Great Commoner,” Mrs. Rohde has up held her father’s reputation for interest and skill in politics and ability in public speaking. She has addressed both large and small groups throughout the United States and Scandinavia. Her record shows that she has CBS Announces Video Contest Announcement has just been made by the Columbia Broad casting System and World Video Incorporated of a nationwide col legiate television drama-writing contest. The contest is open to students 18 years of age or over who are residents of the United States and are attending any of the approximately 1800 accredit ed colleges and universities in the continental United States. To be known as the CBS Award, the contest will offer four prizes. The first of these will be awarded March 31, 1950, and the others at monthly inter vals during the remainder of the spring semester. Prize for the winning script will be $500 if it is a one-hour performance, $250 if it requires a half hour. Prize winning scripts become the pro perty of CBS. After a preliminary screening by a' board of editors, three judges will make the final selec tions. These judges are: Charles M. Underhill, Director of Pro grams for the CBS Television Network; John Steinbeck, out standing contemporary author and a Vice President of World Video, Inc.; and Donald Davis, dramatist, screen writer, and pro ducer of a recently scheduled weekly program on CBS-TV. The four monthly competition periods are: February 3 to March 20; April 1 to April 20; May 1 to May 20; and June 1 to June 20. Entries postmarked later than the 20th day of any contest month will be considered for the following month’s prize. No en tries will be accepted postmarked later than June 20, 1950. All entries submitted must be original television dramas that have never been produced on the air or published. Adaptations of existing novels, short stories, plays, or other literary creations (Continued on page four) attained proficiency in two fields frequently dominated and too often monopolized by men. VIEWBOOK PUBLICIZES QUEENS The Queens viewbook, that long awaited piece of pictorial literature, is out; and so are we. If you ever plan to publish a viewbook, begin at least six months in advance. That will give you plenty of time to have g j;j0i’vous breakdown and re cover from it in time to smile when you hand out the copies. We started four months in ad vance and had to have our col lapse on a speed-up program. The first step in planning was to look at viewbooks from other colleges. We looked and looked and compared and tabulated un til we were so sold on going to college that Donnie had written to Vassar and my application was in at Mary Washington. At that point we called the printer. Having painted word pictures of the viewbook to the printer and to the photographer, we branched out into the actual picture taking. Now I had thought that the process of taking a pic ture was relatively simple—in volving a subject or subjects, a photographer, and a camera. But no, the subject must look this way or that depending upon whether the picture is to be on a right or left page; and there must be contrast and balance and high-lighting. The photographer had trouble with the horseback riding pictures because the hors es wouldn’t keep their tails still, and with the tea table pic ture because the girls poured from the wrong pot into the right cup or vice versa. Then came the pictures at the Queens Room at the Myers Park Presby terian Church. Just as the pho tographer got ready, the Sunday School class started to sing. Never have we seen such stupid looks as appeared in that pic ture. Of course, we could have said in the caption, “Class sing ing.” I don’t believe, however, that a person looking at the book would have had any faith in the fact that we choose stu dents at Queens on the basis of intelligence. W e compromised with a back view of a girl open ing the door to the classroom. Smart, we thought! With the pictures in the hands of the printers and a promise that the books would come off the press on December 28, we went to work addressing enve lopes for mailing them. Several girls came to our rescue, and by the second day after the stu dents went home for Christmas holidays Donnie and I tied up the envelopes in bundles accord ing to postal regulations and sent them to the printer to be stuffed. With the pleasant thought that each member of the student (Continued on page two) Agape, Destitute Children And S.C.A1. In Europe Named Members of the Student Chris tian Association Cabinet have selected Agape (a Waldensian youth project), the adoption of war orphans, and the Student Christian Movement in Europe to be presented to the student body as possible objects for the annual benevolent program. Agape which might be called an Italian Montreat, is the name given to the buildings and grounds belonging to Walden sian Youth. The center is situ ated in the mountains of west ern Italy. Its construction was made possible through the do nation of the property by a citi zen of Valdese, North Carolina, and the camp has grown rapidly since its beginning in 1947. Protestant groups in Italy have long been {handicapped by a lack of meeting places, and they will be served in the project together with the Waldensians, who constitute one of the oldest Protestant bodies in Europe. The Waldensian Youth Movement has as its motto “Pray and Work!” Despite the relief programs of the Federal Government and various philanthropic agencies, hundreds of children left with out homes as a result of World War II still lack food, clothing, and medical attenion. Many of them are in great need of the actual necessities of life itself. It is estimated that $180 will practically support one of these children for the entire year. Realizing the potential in fluence of the Church in the re construction of war-torn Europe, the Cabinet recommends the Stu dent Christian Movement in that continent as a deserving agency. Most of the funds contributed to this cause go toward the publi cation of literature and other printed material and to defray the salaries of workers. In asking the student body to choose on^ of these three proj ects, the cabinet of S.C.A. has departed from the practice of previous years when the project was determined before it was referred to the students as a whole. This year’s cabinet feels that it is only proper that all students should have a voice in (Continued on page two) Calendar Of Events Tuesday, February 14 Re cital Pi a n o Concerto and Duo. 7:30 P.M.
