Nominations For May Queen to Be Held Tonight Girl Chosen Must Be Representative of the Student Body in AH Ways Nominations for this year's May Queen will be held tonight in the large auditorium. Voting will take Place on Friday. It has been the custom for the girl having the second highest number of votes to be maidof-honor. This will be observed again. This year (according to precedent established last year by a committee composed of representatives from each class) our May Queen will be chosen on the basis of certain qualifications in order to make her mean more to the student body: 1.—She must be a girl whom we can look up to and respect and be proud to have as a representative of our student body. 2.—Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible for May Queen. A girl who has lived in school at least three years has most likely revealed her true worth. Then again, Freshmen and Sophomores will have their chance in the two or three years following. 3.—A girl must be a good representative of the student body in character, personality, and school spirit— one who has given her best to the school, who has cooperated with her classmates, and most of all, we want a well-rounded girl. A well-rounded girl must have beauty of character as well as beauty of face, and a personality which appeals to people at large—not merely to her 'bunch". 4.—The May Queen must be dependable, responsible, and willing to work. She must possess these characteristics to become a representative queen after she is elected. 5.—Our May Queen should be "fair of face" if not beautiful. She must be easy to look upon. She must be graceful, and have poise. Her carriage is of especial importance.—She must walk with ease and grace. 6.—Dramatic ability is not essential this year. Nominations will be held Wednesday night in the large auditorium and voting will take place on Friday. (Continued on page 2'

Our May Queen We are. again, selecting the girl who will be Queen at our Festival of .May. This year, as before, we wish her to he representative of the student laxly and to have those qualifications required by the theme of the festival. Let us give thought to our selection. The May Festival is one which many, besides ourselves, gather to see. it is an event in our BChool year of which we are Inordinately proud. The Queen is the center of this. She either fills her place satisfactorily, exceedingly, superbly well, or unsatisfactorily. She either adds to our enjoyment of th< festival or takes from it. It depends on us to select the rfghl girl.
The committee has sei up certain standards Tor the Queen. The theme of May Day is taken from Indian legends. Consider carefully the standards for the girl, and the type of girl to suit the theme. ('hoose wfeeh .

"Come on to bed, Mary! You can piddle more than any one girl I ever saw in my life. I thought you were ready to put your hair up two hours ago. If Billy Powell could set' you looking like that with that gre and those bobby pins! My. Lord! What price beauty! I certainly am glad I don't have to twist up my hair like that. Will you please hurry up." "Listen, here Virginia Lamb, just because you have a permanent in those little screw pieces of yours, you think you're Mrs. Moses. If I went with a dumbcluck like Perkie Smut, I wouldn't even care what my hair looked like, he'd never know the difference. But Powell, for instance, well he notices things like that, you know! "By the way. Tank, did you see that sing the other night? Didn't they have those high monkety monks on the spot though." "Pretty poor excuse if they were all like you!" "Are you talking to me?" "That sing was pretty good, I thought I'd laugh my sides off at Barlow cutting up a storm and blowing kisses-whew! Bedford wasn't bad neither was she Virginia." "Heck, no! She's a honey." "There was a mistake in that class room scene, did you catch it. Tank?" "No. spill it." "Well, you remember that joke that was pulled on Ruth Hunt in the minstrel about blowing off all day? Well, I know her! That joke was little short of true! Well, in this sing. I will admit that Mrs. Taylor looked exactly like her, but when Dr. Walmsley asked her a question she admitted she didn't know! Well that girl showed that although Mrs. Taylor is good at make-up. she didn't know Ruth Hunt. She would have had Miss Mary running for first lady president before she stopped." "I believe you're right. Virginia." "Listen, Mary, aren't you tired of screwing that hair of yours in knots? Why don't you cut it off short? You couldn't look any worse than Chic does, could you? But then Chic's a mighty good girl. You like her in spite of her loks, don't you?" "Douse the light, Virginia, somebody is coming! Aw h 1, another call down! We will end up in study hour, and would that be a shine for the Lamb-Harrison outfit. Ask someone who knows?"
POLITICS AND PERSONALITIES Washington has struck up the band for these people and these things: Senator Hiram Johnson, of California^—because he dug out facts of Barco Oil lands, Chilean Nitrate; put Secretaries Stimpson and Andy Mellon in tight spots. And because it was predicted that he would carry the state of California for the presidential nomination against Herbert Hoover. Charles G. Dawes—because he forewent the Geneva Disarmament Conference to stay in the United States "to end the depression." as president of the Administration's Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the world's largest fiscal agency with $2,000,000,000 at its command. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,—because his appointment as Governor-General of the Philppine Islands was confirmed by the Senate in ten seconds —a record time. Henry P. Fletcher—because he openly sought the aid of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation in "donning breeches" for the Court of St. James. It is believed that thereby he lost all chances to be Ambassador Dawes' successor. Alfalfa Bill Murray, of Oklahoma— because the Governor upset the Anti-Saloon League with a beer plan. And because he turned calloused thumbs down on all Democratic presidential candidates except Alfalfa Bill. Oliver Wendell Holmes— because he resigned in his ninety-first year as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and left a place which none but a jurist and a philosopher can fill. Senators Harry B. Hawes and Hiram Bingham—because one told the other about George Washington's recipe for making beer.
NO EXCUSE Continued from last week There is no excuse for: 52. Anybody being as entertaining as precious little Mrs. Marshall. (She could even make 'Old Man Depression" laugh). 53. Anybody who can dance like Prances Dorin. 54. Anybody who can wear white spats like the Carolina Tar Heels. 55. Anybody as startling as Mary Gregory in her new disguise. (Ah, there you are. Come out from behind those eyelashes!) 56. Anyone as competent as Martha Gunter. (You just try to make up a dummy for the paper once—Ahem, brother). 57. Anybody as snoopy as the Snoop Secretary of the Snoop Committee of the Snoop Council. 58. Anyone who is as terrified of mice as Harriet Moomaw. 59. Anybody who is as good-natured as the maids in the dining room. 60. Anybody as studious as Wallace Hudgins. When will he give S. T. C. a break? 61. Anybody having as smooth a complexion as Margueretta Brady. 62. Anybody rating bids to the Naval Academy as Nellie Green does. 6)1. Anybody who is as much of a good sport as Mrs. Laing is. 64. Anybody who is as kind and sympathetic as Dr. Fields. 65. Anybody who receives as many gifts as Martha Ann Laing. 66 Anybody to have as much dry wit as Miss McKee. 68. Anybody to work as hard as Miss Snead and her staff. 68. Anybody to fulfill as many requests as Mr. Hurt. 69. Anybody to put on as many wonderful plays as Miss Wheeler.

SENIOR CLASS Last night. Dr. Walmsley talked to the Senior Class trying to get them interested in entering the southern oratorical contest. The prizes are worth working for. He also talked about our entering the essay contest. The Seniors are all smiles. It's not a boy or a girl, but $87.78 from the senior show. This is what we made after all expenses were paid. The Seniors will issue The Rotunda February 24. They will have "Sing", February 6. The committee to select a spring play has already been appointed.
JUNIOR CLASS
At last, winners announced! The Junior Class has been divided into groups for the purpose of raising money. Mary Gregory's group was so lucky as to win the prize, a huge chocolate cake. Whew! Was it good? Ask Miss Her and A. Moore. Which might explain why Mary only found half of it. We are looking forward with interest to the class editions of The Rotunda. Gathwright was elected editor-in-chief and Jane Royall, associate editor of the junior edition. The Juniors are also getting up sing on February 13. With Dot SnedArrington egar as chairman, we are expecting quite an entertainment.

\MISS MARY ENTERTAINS EIGHT TABLES OF GIRLS
FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class wishes to announce that the Freshman-Faculty basketball game will be held February 13 instead of February 26. Come to the game; it will be even better than faculty sing.
JOLLY JUNIOR JUBILEE Stop and read twice? No, stop and read thrice! Here at last, the most amazing, startling performance of the year. Not like "Hoover prosperity," just around the corner; but like the depression, it's here. The Juniors seem to do things by 2's. Even the Jolly Junior Jubilee has three parts. This is the third year for the 33's. This is also the third class entertainment and is hoped for success. Trie class, as usual, is sticking together, "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." It is hoped the Juniors will be as successful as the Seniors were and the Sophomores will be. The classes so far have showed wonderful spiirt in cooperating with and backing each other. The student body is urged to keep up that S. T. C. cooperation instilled by our president. By the way, Dr. Jarman is full of enthusiasm that everyone loves. If the Juniors could get it incorporated into their Jolly Jubilee, that would be all necessary to show everybody a swell time February 26. The Junior Class wishes to thank their sister class for giving them this date. The Freshman Class is assured of a 100 per cent attendance at the basketball game, and the Juniors will surely help Mr. Bell cheer. What the entertainment will be, is a secret except for the Juniors. As for the rest of the student body, a delightful surprise awaits them. Be sure and save two-bits and get the fun of your life time! With Virginia Thornhill leading the Jubilee committee, Mary Gregory heading the business committe, and Mae Downes the advertising committee, will it be a success? Give us your opinion on February 27, the morning after the night before.

DRAMATIC CLUB HOLDS INITIATION OF MEMBERS
YOU ARE INVITED
The old members of the Dramatic Club were entertained highly Monday night when the new members were initiated into the club. As the custom is, each new member or group of new members must put on a stunt for the entertainment of the old members. The stunts this year were very attractive, ranging all the way from organization of Captain John Smith to a real honest-to-goodness government meeting. Captain John Smith stepped upon the scene; the scene being a girl. Lorena Bland cast her eyes upon the stage, her eyes being paper ones which were easily cast. Woodruth Towler, as "quietness" descended upon the stage by way of a step-ladder. Margie McManus, a brook, gurgled across the stage. There were other clever acts in this stunt which made it very attractive. The government meeting was well carried out, with Nancy Burgwyn acting Grace Virginia's part. We were astonished to find so many of our friend club members being guilty of such crimes. Ruth Wright, a little demure lady in organdy, sang a lovely little love song. The program was unusually good and it gave the old members, as well as the new, a nice social hour of fun. Last night the formal initiation of the new members was held in the student building auditorium. Jenilee Knight, president, presided at the meeting. After a careful reading of the constitution, the president gave the formal jath to each new girl. The Dramatic Club is glad to welcome its new members and it is expecting great things of each one.

FACULTY ENTERTAINS AT SING SATURDAY One of the most enjoyable entertainments of the year was presented by members of the faculty last Saturday night at sing. The whole auditorium was filled with roars of laughter as each number was presented. First, some of the faculty let the class presidents and major officers "see themselves as others see them" in the class room. Mr. Bell, Miss Purdom, Miss Potts and Mr. Graham sang a quartet which was thoroughly enjoyable. The program was concluded by one of the most delightful choruses that has been presented before the student body. The school wishes to extend their appreciation to all who helped to make this such a pleasant evening and hope that they might have this pleasure again. Any possible doubts that there may have been concerning President Hoover's candidacy for re-election have been dispelled by a statement from Postmaster General Walter C. Brown, issued after a long conference at the White House: "The friends of the President feel that he ought to be re-nominated and they will take the proper steps to look after his candidacy in the various states." What gave General Brown's words immense authority was the fact that after the Chicago convention, he is slated to succeed Senator Fess as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Verser s Wisconsin, noted for thirty years as the initiator of much that is novel in American legislation boasts the distinction of being the first state to adopt an unemployment insurance law. The new measure signed by Governor LaFollotte last week, provides that a compulsory unemployment system will be installed July 1, 1933, unless by that time the industries of the state voluntarily adopted unemployment insurance plans affecting at least 175,000 workers.
