Crowds Cheer George VI At Coronation
Salute Booms From 103 Guns as Throngs Shout Praises
By Webb Miller

LONDON, May 12—<U.P)—George VI was crowned king of the world’s mightiest empire in Westminster Abbey today while ermine-robed peers of his realm shook the nearby sepulchres of forgotten sovereigns with shouts of "may the king live forever."
Outside in ram-soaked streets hundreds of thousands gathered from every part of the world to pay homage to the shy. 41-year-old king and his commoner queen, took up the cry "Ood save the king”
103 guns boomed a royal salute from the tower of London and St. James’ park.
SUBJECTS JOYOUS
Their shouts swelled in a paean of joy as the monarch and his smiling consort returned to Buckingham palace ln a golden coach, through a sea of deliriously happy subjects, in one of the most colorful processions of all history.
The coronation ritual, in which the 72-year-old Archbishop of Cen-terbury anointed the king's head, breast, and palms with hallowed oil, while a cloister choir raised voices in "Be Strong and Play the Man," was carried out in all its centuries-old splendor before 7700 persons In the abbey.
SOME REMEMBER EDWARD
But the jubilant throngs surging in the streets of London as the weary but still-smiling king went before a microphone to broadcast to "my beloved people" ground the world, claimed the great share of the empire’s rejoicing.
Some thought of the "uncrowned king" who sat in a French cateau. 340 miles away, with “the woman I love" but most of the thousands —swept, up in the revelry of the night—seemed to have forgotten Edward VIII and his hectic reign. The roars from 4,000.000 or 5,000,-

Regarding Blue Key I
Todays most pressing question:
What is Blue Key?
Apparently no one knows—
I not even former or present advisers of the organization. We uncovered some facts pertinent to the organization, but were still unable to discover what it is. We found, for instance, that there wa.s once a club on campus known as ; Bachelors. It was composed i almost entirely of Good Joes. Is seems that three Good Joes were inducted into the club from each fraternity, and the three Good Joes from each house used to select three more Good Joes from their houses to succeed them. Things came to pass, finally, where the Joes were having awfully Good times, and thc university administration began to feel that the Good Joes were, in reality, Good Time Charleys.
So a new plan was conceived. There was a national fraternity named Blue Key which didn’t have a chapter on campus, so all the Bachelors got together and formed a Blue Key chapter, were admitted to the national organization, and, after some opposition, were recognized by the university administration.
But what, we inquire, did the administration recognize? In some colleges Blue Key is a service organization. In some! places it serves as the student j body legislature. But as what does Blue Key serve at U. 8 j C.? Some hold that tt is a service organization, but we are at loss to uncover evidence of recent service. Last November, John Rounsavelle, who was president at the time, credited Norm Johnson with having suggested a brilliant idea; Blue Key proposed lo “Tote a Trojan." The program was broad. Benches were to be installed at strategic points on University avenue, where students would be able to await transportation to 28th street or to class, lt was a good idea and rated a top spot once in the Daily
