Something new in queen contests will be undertaken by the Acacians next week when they choose a Cleo-! patra to reign over their annual “Night on the Nile” formal to be held May 19.
Sixteen women from the Row have entered the contest. Cleopatra and her two princesses will be chosen Friday May 18. after the contestants have been to the Acacia house for din-Iner.
The winner will be announced at the formal which will be held at the Santa Monica Beach club. Cleopatra will receive a 27 inch personal trophy and the princesses will each receive an 18 inch trophy.
Dance Orchestra Set Bernie Richards orchestra will play at the dance which is an affair of each chapter of the national fraternity. This is the first time the SC chapter of Acacia has sponsored a contest of this kind.
Members of the fraternity have expressed the hope that the contest i will bring to the attention of the men on campus a different type | of female beauty—the kind that flourished on the Nile when Cleo-j patra was in her prime.

Day Late, But Month. Early, El Rodeo Comes Out Tomorrow
Students hanging around the service building waiting for their ultra-modern, 1951 El Rodeos today will have a long wait, about 24 hours to be exact.
Cause of this delay is the counting of the books deemed necessary by the business office.
Regardless of the delay, however, the El Rod of '51 is being issued almost a month early. .
Featuring the “new look” in year books, the El Rod will emphasize angled cuts, pastels, more pictures, and less copy. All but 100 pages, according to editor Fred Harper, are in two colors.
Highlighting the 460-page book will be the organization, sports, student activity, and candid sections. The book will be dedicated to Hugh 'C. Willett, retiring director of admissions.
Harper and Dave Durst, layout editor, started work on the book last June. Contracts were signed in August and full staff work started in September.
Final art work was completed in December with the layout finished in March. The completed dummy arrived at the print shop in April.
Samples of the modem layout work have been on display for several weeks in the library.

Parrish Tells Voting Process
2 Amendments Put on Ballot
Voters will find slim pickings in
by Connie Crawford
Dennis Murphy, who confined his campaigning last year to putting Trojan Chest over the $10,000 goal, appeared as a “surprise” speaker at an Independent-Free Greek meeting yesterday and stunned the gathering with a fiery attack on TNE dominated politics.
The association met at the Phi Sigma Kappa house to complete a campaign schedule for their slate of candidates headed by John Bradley. After Gene Royer, Stan Tomlinson, and Jim Williams had addressed the 50 students asking them to spread the policy of the association by word-of-mouth, Murphy rose and began his accusations. “I am fighting TNE,” he said. He was also apparently fighting Unity.
Murphy then told the audience that because of these two groups seeking to gamer all the political spoils the majority Of independent and fraternity and sorority students find they have no one representing them.
Unfavorable Comments
“Wherever I go outside the campus,” Murphy said, “people comment unfavorably on the oVer-emphasized political situation at SC. Outsiders don’t believe that we have any honest elections here because they have heard TNE boys boast about their power to control and fix student government.”
Murphy said for the first time in many years the students had an opportunity to elect a man who is neither obligated to a machine nor committed to boost a group.
“You here in this room,” he said, “can be instrumental in electing John Bradley if you work harder, longer, and with more energy than Only if we work that hard will we demonstrate that the the students want to be heard.”
Dr.vid Raskin, composer of “Laura” and several musicals: Charlene Hawks. NBC radio singing star; I Tommy Walker, football band di-! rector; and Clarence Sawhill, director of SC bands.
Women living in sororities and dormitories will be able to cheer on their favorites, because a 12 midnight lockout has been pro- | claimed.

Substituting “shall” for “should” will be voted on.
