QUEENS BLUES
March 5,1951 J^an
li(M,
The honor system is one of the most prized phases of any college’s
student government. It was decided, therefore, to see what Queens’
students think of the system on our campus. Their replies are printed
below:
Doris Pons .... “I think it works very effectively and puts the
responsibility on each individual.”
Caroline Collins .... “I think it accomplishes very well the purpose
for which it was intended and is an essential part of Queens.”
Dot MacLeod .... “I believe the honor system is the most dominant
factor on the campus. It is something that each individual
respects and holds dear. I don’t believe there is anyone who
deliberately violates any point of the honor code, for each
feels her responsibility in upholding the system which Queens
treasures above all others.”
Mildi’ed Butler .... “I think the honor system is just one of the many
wonderful things on Queens’ campus that goes into the making
of mature, Christian women.”
Rebecca Scholl .... “The honor system at Queens is an understanding
and a spirit of agreement of standards bringing together not
only the students, but making for a better student-faculty
relationship.”
Louise White .... “I think the honor system at Queens works almost
perfectly. If a person is not accustomed to this system when
she first comes to Queens, by the time she has completed a
semester’s work, she realizes the value of our honor system,
both to herseli and to others—a value which will develop and
integrate all parts of her life.”
Wanda Oxner .... “I think the honor system is one of the best policies
that any school could have. Here at Queens the honor system
proves that Christian citizenship is at work on our campus.”
Dot Wilson .... “The honor system on Queens’ campus is one of the
greatest factors in building Christian womanhood. It helps
to give each student a sense of responsibility, and it is one
of the dominant traits which makes Queens an outstanding
college.”
Jacquie Otey .... “The effectiveness of the Honor System on Queens’
campus is proved by the fact that the students uphold it.”
WITH THE GREEKS
Alpha Delta Pi
The Alpha Delta Pi’s held their
alumnae tea this past week. It was
quite a success and enjoyed by all
who attended. The Alpha Delta Pi’s
extend their congratulations to
all their members who recently
made Dean’s List.
Alpha Gamma Delta
“When Alpha Gams gather
there’s sure to be fun,” even when
it’s “Spring house cleaning” time
with mops and brooms and buckets.
The Alpha Gam house fairly shines
inside and out, with its new coat
of paint, clean curtains, and every
corner scrubbed. The Alpha Gams
wish to congratulate Betty Sue
Wright for making Dean’s List.
Chi Omega
The Chi Omegas congratulate
their three members who made the
Dean’s List—Betty Jean Byerly,
Mary Anna Hamilton, and Jane
Boyd Humphries. For the first time
we are having a candlelight ban
quet on March second given by the
actives to the initiates-to-be. After
initiation on March seventeenth,
the initiation banquet will be held
at Rozzelle’s Ferry. The initiates-
to-be are Patsy Black, Katie Chap
man, Cornelia Dick, Joan Farabow,
Bunny Fowler, Kitty Gallant, Betty
Lipe, Betty Mauldin, Eugenia Mc-
Crae, Betty Jean McCutcheon, Kit
ty Moore, Jean Moorefield, Pats

Phi Mu
CAMPUS
CHOICE
The Phi Mu alumnae chapter of
Charlotte sponsored a very success
ful benefit bridge party Thursday
night. Everyone was invited to play
bridge or canasta and try their
luck at the grand prizes. Among
the lucky ones were Emily Kimrey,
who won a lovely blouse; Murphy
Alexander, who won a beautiful
stei’ling silver cigarette box; Pete
Peterson won some sachet, and Jay
Hall won a free bath for her dog—
too bad she doesn’t have a dog.
Lois Strong even won a jar of de
licious pickles which she plans to
put away for her and Floyd. The
profits of this benefit are going to
the pediatric ward of the Good
Samaritan Hospital and to our local
Queens Chapter.
The chapter is also making plans
for Phi Mu Founders Day on
March 4th. The ninety-ninth birth
day of Phi Mu is going to be cele
brated by a party, and all alums
have been invited.
Kappa Delta
The Kappa Delta’s extend their
congratulations to Roberta Jones
who gave a brilliant performance
on February twenty-third when
she, Jane Tipiton, and Suzanne
Scheer presented a recital in Nin
niss Auditorium. Following the re
cital there was a reception held at
the Kappa Delta house for the
family and friends of Roberta
Jones.
“Did you hear about the little
girl who fell down a well and
they’ve been working days to get
her out? Isn’t it just awful?“ The
foregoing remark is accompanied
by a large tear trickling down the
cheek of a lovely girl with dark
hair and eyes. Always soft-hearted,
that’s Betty Lynn. Many a time
in the days of window seats, the
one in No. 8 North was seen hang
ing outside the window to dry. This
was due to the buckets of tears shed
over a dog that was lost or some
other tragic article in the newspa
per.
A tender heart is not her only
virtue for she is simply blessed
with the appearance that qualifies
her to be May Queen. Of course,
she has always been a queen to
Roy, her husband. Betty Lynn
changed Davenport to Horn this
past summer and has been living
happily ever after at an apartment
(mighty cute one) here in town.
Her record at Queens has been
an athletic one, getting on R. A.
Council her freshman year. I would
say something about her dating life
during her freshman year but—
let us say it was more than ade
quate. Every year she climbed up
in R. A. until her junior year when
she became the vice president. Her
athletics now are more or less nar
rowed down to flipping pancakes
for Roy’s breakfast.
This year she’s in the midst of
practice teaching. What do you bet
her children are crazy about her?
Next year, she’ll be teaching in
Texas while Roy is going through
ministerial school.
Lovely, understanding, sincere,
and a mighty good friend to have
—that’s Betty Lynn. Anyone who
saw her walking down the aisle
last August the 19th will be look
ing forward to seeing her walk
down again in the May Day Dell.
Yes, Betty is certainly a true
Campus Choice.
WUif,...
Someone recently asked, “Why do we have a Religious
Emphasis Week?”
Religious Emphasis Week is a time here at Queens wneu
students, faculty, and staff have the opportunity for ^
spiritual experience. It is a time when the speaker gives ^
message that quickens the thoughts and hearts of the hearers.
It is three days set aside to have our hearts, minds, auu
lives rededicated to the task of bringing the Kingdom of Goa
here on earth. To all those who willingly search their hear^
for the True Way, to all those who worship God with huiul’1®
hearts, to all those who forget self and who seek to ser^®
others for the Master, Religious Emphasis Week services
offer an inward stren^h, an exultant radiance, a sense oi
well-being, an outgoing love, and an ineffable peace whid^
nothing in this world can take away. .
We can prepare ourselves for Religious Emphasis Wee^
in various ways. The Chapel is open each night after dinned
with quiet organ music for a period of meditation and prayed"
In private devotions we can open our hearts to hear tn®
voice of God.
Through our relationships with others we can invit®
them to attend services with us. These are only a few of tuc
numerous methods that we can find at our finger tips to
prepare ourselves spiritually, mentally, and physically for oui
Religious Services.

It’s bere 3,^3,111——bRsketbHll ses-
son!!! Already practices for the
tournament have begun. Judging
from the way girls have been prac
ticing, it should be quite a tourna
ment. as you all know, to be eligible
to play you must have six prac
tices. The games will be played
between dormitories, sororities, and
classes—so get your practices in
and be all set for the first game
on March the ninth. And remember
if you don’t play, it’s load of fun to
watch.
I wonder what new sport the
physical education department will
present next year. Last year it was
horseback riding, ^.nd this year it
is bowling—yes, bowling—^in case
you haven’t heard there is now a
physical education class dedicated
entirely to bowling* Now is a good
time to learn the latest thing about
it and be a “whiz when you go
home next summer.
By the way, have you read the
Rec-Re-Ator. If you haven’t, it’s
high time you got a copy. It has the
up-to-the-minute news about the
basketball tournament and ALSO
A RECIPE FOR SLIM FIGURES!
It is only a few weeks before we will be confronted witlj
elections on Queens campus. Election time is one of the
important dates on our Calendar of Events. It is a tihi®
when we choose those students who are to be our camp^®
leaders for the coming school year, those students who
to represent Queens as a student body, those students whos®
responsibilities lie in upholding the ideals of the Colle^^’
those students whose interests are for their classmates
not for themselves, those students who are best qualified
their job. If we consider all of these factors, our decision?
in choosing the most qualified person for each office cann^’^
be made in a few minutes. It takes time and consideration'
Many of us are guilty of waiting until the day arrives
vote for new officers before we give it a thought as to
most qualified person to fill each office. Queens has a den^®'
cratic system of electing officers. Each of us is given ap
opportunity to contribute a straw ballot; and if the noiw^'
nating committee does not nominate our candidate, it is oU^
privilege to nominate her from the floor. We should begip
now with an open mind and consider all prospective candi'
dates for each office; so when the time comes for makii^^
final decisions, we will be prepared. This is a time for colk-^'^
loyalty; and a time when prejudices, personal obligations,
sorority ties have no part. We should remember that it is p
only the duty of each student to use her privilege of
but also her duty to use it to the advantage of her college*
