CC.U.N.C Holds
Party For Queens
On Wednesday night, March 5th,
the students at C.C.U.N.C. had an
infformal party in the Recreation
Room at the Armory for a number
of Queens girls.
The boys came for the Queens at
7:30 P. M. in their cars and took
them to the Armory. At the Ar-
niory the queens were met by their
. hosts — dozens of men.
A Paul Jones was held at first.
There were many good records on
the juke box to dance to, includ
ing the record of the day—“Heart
aches”. There was plenty of en
tertainment for those who didn’t
want to dance — checkers, hearts,
bridge, ping pong, billiards, etc.
And during the process of the even
ing the girls were entertained by
numerous talented hoys who sang,
played the piano, and one who did
very good imitations of famous
screen personalities.
Refreshments were plentiful and
very enjoyable — all kinds of soft
drinks, cookies, crackers, and a
huge bowl of potato chips.
Everyone had a grand time and
you girls who didn’t get an invite
, before, cheer up ’cause your time’s
a-coming. There aren’t enough stu
dents at C.C.U.N.C. for every
Queens girl, so they’re having to
take us in groups. When your time
comes to go, don’t fail to do so,
or you’ll be s-o-r-r-y.

Three Cabinets
Meet At Davidson
On February 19, the SCA cabinets
of Davidson, Johnson C. Smith, and
Queens met together for what
proved to be a very helpful discus
sion on the methods of conducting
Religious Emphasis Week on the
campus. The three cabinets met in
the Y at Davidson and spent two
hours exchanging ideas and ans
wering questions. A representative
of each group told how his organ
ization contactor a speaker and
planned various activities during
his stay on campus. The Johnson
C. Smith group reported that they
had had great success with special
dormitory prayer meetings through
out Religious Emphasis Week. The
Davidson boys said that on their
campus it is traditional for each
fraternity to choose one night
to attend the Vesper Service in a
body. These are only two of the
new ideas that we hope to use on
our campus this spring. This joint
meeting was an inspiration to all
who attended, and we are looking
forward to more sharing between
the three cabinets.
New Rec Room
To Open Soon
A new Recreation Room is now
being completed in the basement
of Morrison dormitory. This new
room is smaller and will be more
like a lounge. The old Recreation
Room will be used by the Physical
Education Department for class
work and dancing classes. Pre
viously the dancing classes have
been held in Blair Union. There
the classes suffered from lack of
space and the day students from
no place to go. (Thanks, Day Stu
dents, for the use of your lounge!)
The piano will be left in the old
Recreation Room to be used for
games and other forms of entertain
ment on the weekends. However,
smoking will be allowed in the
smaller smoking room.
It appears to me that what the
whole world needs is a lot more
open minds and a lot less open
mouths.
A good thing to remember is that
there is always goin’ to be a tomor
row as well as a today and yes
terday.
SEE THE WORLD
Queens Lookout
By Eleanor Huske
Out of the hectic rush of our
^sily life conies a clear voice say
“Be still and know that I am
God.” How many of us take time
listen and to heed that voice.
If only we could stop long enoug
fo refresh ourselves in the
Power and strength that Go wi
®PPply us, what a glorious calmne
^Pd purpose would fiB
^ God has made Himself availaWe
us in so many ways B ^
take advantage of them. We
fiPd His power and orderliness re
pealed in nature. We see His good
ness radiating in the lives of those
1^0 truly follow Him. We learn of
^is loving purpose of /edemp
nud His ways of looking
Jiuman beings in the Book tha
We can meet
His
message to us.
Him personally in our daily
rience of we live prayerfully an
aumbly. We can know Him more
IPlly by entrusting our lives into
His complete plan for us and by
"working for others in His Kmg-
fom on earth. Most of all we have
the privilege of knowing Him in the
Jnil light of Jesus, His Son and
pur Saviour, as He reveals God s
rue character. If God ^
p- ns the privilege of living with Him
nnch day. is it not worth just a
'ruction of our day’s time to be
^.P^lth Him in a few moment’s quiet
n^mmunion?
Once upon a time long, long 8
—February 28, 1947, to be exact-
seven queens from Queens set o
to see the world. They were hea
for Grensboro and the hither ^
seen campus of the Woman s
lege of the University of Nor
olina. These girls were going t
see W. C.’s annual gym mee
to help draw up

Jpr mtle band. Well, the group
Greensboro about five-
iHrtv They wen? straight to the
hulldlng Wher^mey were
mpt by some of tne
Thoii)Ughl7'^mrressed. ’ The
. Cthe moment: “Wouldn’t
thought for th
it be wonderful If y
thing even half as “ jg^ed look-
ley were shown the
- iSe to occupy for the
rooms they wer
night, and 'be pfeteria to get
to the Home EC ca'eter^
some supper. After
the gym they trouped where they
sat on the front row of the re
served seats like “big dogs”—right
up there with the press. And then
things began to happen! First of
all the cheerleaders came out and
led their section in some cheers and
songs. And they were really good.
The girls were divided up into
leagues; each league was composed
of several dormitories and sat in a
special section of the gym—much
like our own stunt night. Now it
was about time for things to start
and the participants came out and
marched around the gym while each
league was cheering for her group.
Most of the girls who took part in
the gym meet were physical edu
cation majors. The first event on
the program consisted of stunts
done on different apparatus. There
were about ten different things
going on at one time, and it was
hard to see everything. Each girl
was graded on how well she did
and this grade went down for her
league. This was followed by a
faculty-student relay; then folk
dancing, a bicycle stunt, marching
tactics, tap dance, stunts done by
clowns, building of pyramids, and
finall yafashion show of gym suits
from the eighteen hundreds to the
present. Then the league that had
the highest number of points was
announced, and there were more
cheers and songs and things. It
was all just wonderful; the girls
from Queens had never seen any
thing quite like it, and were sur
prised that' such things could be
done.
Saturday morning the Queens
were up bright and early—about
nine-thirty, that is—and ready for
the big meeting. This meeting was
for the purpose of discussing and
adopting the proposed constitution
for the North Carolina Athletic
Federation of College Women. The
constitution had been drawn up by
a tentative executive committee
consisting of representatives from
Meredith, W. C. Salem, Duke, and
the U.N.C.., and was now ready
to be discussed by those at the
meeting in Greensboro. So the dis
cussion began and after making
several changes and additions the
constitution was adopted. Next we
had to elect officers for the organ
ization; these were to be elected
by colleges, rather than individuals.
W. C. was elected next year’s pres
ident and Queens the recording sec
retary.
The schools elected are now to
select the Individuals to serve in
these capacities.
The purpose of this state feder
ation is “to further athletic in
terests and activities for women
and girls according to the highest
and soundest standards of sports
and other recreation activities.,
Well, the meeting was over and it
was time for all the girls to start
back to Charlotte, so into Susie
they climbed, tired but happy with
the results of their experience In
the outside world.
Annual student body elections
were held from Monday, March
tenth through Wednesday, March
nineteenth, for the purpose of
choosing next year’s leaders.
The first election was that for
student body president held March
tenth. The final voting was be
tween Nancy Gordon, Washington,
D. C., and Eleanor Huske from
Reidsville. Eleanor Huske was
elected.
On Tuesday, March eleventh,
election of the two Vice-presidents
of the student body was held. Rusty
McMurray was elected vice-presi
dent in charge of boarders and
Buford Bobbitt was elected vice-
president in charge of day stu
dents.
On Wednesday, March twelfth,
Betty Sue Trulock was elected
president of the Student Christian
Association; Cathey Deeper was
elected president of the Athletic
Association; Virginia Gray was

ernment; and Grace Marie Childs

Gordon and Jackie English. The
same day the editors of the three
college publications were elected.

As the BLUES goes to press,

Ever notice how the guy who
seems to be so fairminded never
seems to have a mind of his own
about anything?
It’s just too bad that good times
don’t bring good times.
