QUEEN-OF-QUEENS SEARCH ON
Judges Launch Interviews For Rocki s Queen Contest
Today's the DAY for 60 cam-lovelies.
The first in a two-part series f interviews for candidates en-ered in the “Rocki Rhodes Typi-Campus Lovely” contest will held this afternoon in the nate Chambers, fourth floor, tudent Union.
According to Rhodes, for whom the contest has been named, “It imperative that all coeds listed herein attend today's interviews. We will assume that if a coed fails to attend she is out of the race.”
Today’s interviews will begin promptly at 1 p.m. Coeds to report to the Senate Chambers in-ude:
1 p.m., Sara Donald; 1:15, Georgia Rodes; 1.30, Joan Armstrong; 2, the remainder of the eta house.
Excuse Must Be Good The remaining 61 lovelies en-ered in the contest will have their interviews tomo r r o w Rhodes added.
Coeds unable to make today’s scheduled interviews may appear tomorrow, Rocki said. However, a legitimate excuse will be needed for today's absence.
In making the interview announcement, Rocki said that the interviews will be informal and that the coeds should feel at esse.
“We will ask simple questions —questions pertaining to the girls’ major, interests, and future ambitions. Dress should be average campus wear. However, interviewees appearing in Bikinis will receive 10 bonus points.”
One Question Counts
“Many coeds feel that they will incriminate themselves by their answers,” Rocki stated. “But the judges and myself want it known that the answers won’t be taken too seriously. Only one question will really count in judging—the one pertaining to who the coed will select from the DT for a
date if she is the winner. It seems that every judge considers himself a real lover.”
Judges for the interviews will be Hank Alcouloumre, DT editor; Ed Neilan, DT managing editor; Bob Krauch, DT city editor; and Don Simonian, DT sports editor. In absence of Rhodes, who will be unable to attend, Simonian will act as temporary head of the judging board and will ask all questions.
Prizes to Be Displayed
Rhodes also announced that the famed prizes for this contest will also be on display during interviews today and tomorrow. Prizes include a pastrami sandwich, a bar of Lifebuoy Soap, an unbreakable, plastic jar of “Stopette,” a tube of Hazel Bishop Smearproof lipstick, and the date with the DT staff member.
The winner of the “queen - of queens” contest will be announced Thursday or Friday, Rhodes concluded.

“I can never thank enough the many people who supported me and I shall always work in my future college activities to merit their confidence.”

Puffs, Dainties Hold Drills for
Cake Series
The Pi Phi Powderpuffs and the DeeGee Diamond Dainties yesterday continued their warmup sessions -for the annual Cheesecake Series Thursday, The Diamond Dainties breezed through a light workout on their frbnt lawn while Powderpuffs practiced on the Dental Field.
Members of Alpha Phi sorority, located between the two houses, have reported that the spirit of rivalry may produce a crisis more dangerous for U S. militia than the present Indo-China situation.
Several people “in the know” say that a group wrestling match would be a more fitting outlet for the pent-up enthusiasm than a mere softball game.
Despite all efforts by both sides to keep strategy and tactics secret, it appears that Kathleen Homme will take the mound for the DeeGee’s, while Susie Schirm and Mary Laird will share the hurling chores for the Powderpuffs.
Miss Homme was the losing pitcher in last year’s Cheesecake game, but the Pi Phi’s were unable to overcome her stellar twirling until the final frame. Neither Misses Schirm nor Laird hold any Cheesecake experience.
Both teams have announced that complete and definite line ups will not be made available to the public until game day.
Tickets will go on sale for the game Wednesday in front of the Student Union, and. will be available at the South Gate of Bovard Field until game time. Admission is 25 cents. All proceeds go to Troy Camp.

The Senior Prom is semi-formal and corsages are not to be worn.
Orchid Leis flown from Hawaii the same day will be sold for 75 cents, Root said. Prom bids will also be sold at the door.
This Prom, Root said, is an all university affair sponsored by the Senior class with the help of the Junior class.
“We want all Trojans to come,” he said.
Bo Jansen, chairman of the Senate Investigating Committee, was injured early Sunday morning in a car accident near the intersection of 53rd Street and Figueroa Avenue, the DT learned yesterday.
His companion, Billie Lyris, 20, Delta Gamma, was injured seriously and was reported in “fair condition” at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital.
Jansen, who was to have given his committee’s report to the Senate yesterday, suffered severe mouth injuries and lacerations of the leg.
An attending physician said Miss Lyris “suffered a fractured jaw which we wired together, a mild brain concussion, and lacerations of the scalp.”

He said she would remain in the hospital for 10 or 12 days and “she should be okay without any further complications.” Jansen, called at his home in Glendale, said:
“I was driving north on Figueroa. Tha next thing I remember is getting out of the car after the accident occurred. I don’t remember anything in between.

SC COUNSELOR'S DAUGHTER SAVES SUFFOCATING BABY
Marsha White, 12-year-old daughter of Edwarda White, Counselor of women, saved a baby who was apparently suffocating when she succeeded in opening the door to a locked car on campus Sunday afternoon.
Mr. J. H. Garza, 3919 South Broadway, discovered screaming 6-months-old John White (no relation to Marsha or Dean White) lying on the floor of the car parked in front of Doheny Memorial Library. The baby was wedged half way under the seat, according to Garza, who ran across the street to Town and Gown Dormitory to get help.
Marsha, who was sitting on the front steps of the dorm when Garza came over, immediately rushed to the car and succeeded in unlocking it by squeezing her small arm through a narrow window opening. She worked her arm back and forth until she pushed the glass down.
The child’s parents, Charlotte and George White, were eventaully located and were charged with child neglect.
Mrs. Jane Witt, receptionist of the dormitory phoned the University Police Station to ask permission to break the window of the car if the coat hanger didn’t work. Officers said they would be right over and go ahead and get the baby out the best way possible.
Baby “Johnny,” was bundled in a blanket and taken to one of the rooms in the women’s Residence.
I’ve never seen so many women trying to play mother,” one observer remarked. “The child’s face was covered with dots of perspiration when he was removed from the floor of the car,” sard Miss Arnold.
After a quick bath and a drink of water, John was placed in the care of Mrs. Witt, who held him in her lap until police arrived.
When questioned the Whites declared they had been in California only a few months and did not know it was against the law to leave a baby in an automobile. They were out looking at the “scenery” on the SC campus when the baby was found.
