Blue Key Picks Queen Finalists
Sixteen Hello and Smile week queen finalists were chosen at the meeting of a special Blue Key selection committee last night according to an announcement by Jim Holmes, chairman.
“Personality and beauty were the bases of selection from among £>3 entries from women's dorms, sororities, and unaffiliated women on campus,” said Holmes.
The large number of entries caused the committee to stay in session for several hours before the final selections were made. Each year has seen an increase of entries for the Hello and Smile week queen, and this year's number of entries has broken all records.
The queen and four attendants wil^ be selected by the student body at large during two days of balloting next week. Each will be presented with a gold cup at
El Rodeo Chief Urges Trojans Make Photo Appointments Early For the Next Yearbook Edition
“One picture is worth ten thousand words.” If the Chinese were right on this then you’d better hurry over to the University photographer’s shop at 36th street and University avenue and get that appointment for the next edition of El Rodeo.
Diane Lockhart, editor of the campus yearbook, urges all those who have not as yet made appointments to do so immediately as the threat of a possible film shortage has again reared its ugly head. A policy of first come, first served, will be followed, according to Douglas Kilgore, new manager of the studio and an alumnus of the class of ’45.
In correction of yesterday’s statements, there is no deadline for students who already have appointments. The accepted dress for men will be white shirt, necktie (no bows a la Sinatra), and coat. For women, a black date dress with simplicity as the keynote, no conspicuous jewelry (including earrings), and a simple unadorned hair-do.
All sororities and fraternities will be contacted as soon as possible by the El Rod office as to information concerning the ordering of pages.
“At present we are desperately in need of additional help for the ’47 edition,” said Miss Lockhart. “All students interested in general office work, copyreading, or art work are urged to contact me immediately in our office, room 326, Student Union.”
Joe Mohl, business manager, says the presses are rolling, and the long-awaited, eagerly-sought '46 edition will be flooding the campus about the middle of October. We hope you’re not crying “Wolf” again, Joe. We've been holding our breath for a long time.
