0 « t Seti $100. Goal For Etch Graduate

The .Student Union drive for pledges of funds from members of the Senior Class began this week and will be continued after Easter vacation, according to James Miner, President of the Senior Class. Miner also, requested all Seniors to place their orders for graduation an­nouncements and booklets in the Co-op immediately after Easter va­cation.

The goal of the Student Union drive Is to obtain a $100 pledge from each Senior. This sum may be paid yearly, within five years, or within 10 years. Seniors will be asked to sign a pledge card and anyone who is . missed in the canvassing may obtain a pledge card from Miner.

The following canvassers have been appointed as leaders: Dorothy Myles, Fierce Hall; Joan Mather, Chi Sigma Theta Sorority House; Eileen Moody, Newman Hall; Phyl-

Rustia Didn't Want Book-But Dr. Louis Jones Does "Where oh where has my lit­

tle book gone?" walled Dr. Jones in his En 230 class one day.

According to his story, he loaned a book, "Club of the Georgian Rakes" by one Dr.

. Louis C. Jones, to a student last summer and—presto—the book disappeared.

"O!" cried Betty Rose Dia­mond, head of the Used Book Exchange, "I remember that. It was in a box of old books in the lower hall of Draper last Sep­tember." (Dr, Jones' eyes lit up). "But the books were donated to Russian Relief." (Dr. Jones' face fell.)

"However," she added encour­agingly," Russia didn't want it."

A cloud appeared on the pro­fessor's countenance.

"Where is it?" he asked hope­fully.

"We sold it," came the glib reply.

So Dr. Jones' En 230 students are frantically combing State in search of the "Club of the Georgian Rakes." It has gone out of print and Dr. Jones wants as many copies as he can get.

First Peacetime Junior Weekend Features Prom. Intersorority Round Robin Dances Sororities' Big-8 Opens Weekend

Pedisich,Whitney Head Committees For Event

Intersorority Council will open Junior Week-end tonight with a Bound Robin Dance from 8 to 12 P.M. Anita Pedisich, '46, is in charge of arrangements for the dance which constitutes the seventh Big-8. Vic Party

Each of the seven sororities will have a vie party in its house and couples will travel from house to house during the evening. Refresh­ments consisting of coke and cookies will be served at each stop.

The cost of the affair will be fifty cents per couple which entitles them to the use of all seven sorority houses. Although the dance is sponsored by Intersorority Council, it is not a sorority affair and all in­dependents are urged to attend.

Jean Whitney, '46, is in charge of tickets and each sorority has one person in charge of tickets and one in charge of house arrangements. These respective committee heads are, Phi Delta, Doris Haithwaite and Justine Maloney, Sophomores; Gamma Kappa Phi, Mary Quinn and Ann Ricer, Sophomores; Kappa Delta, Olga Podmajersky and Vivien Hillier, Sophomores; Psi Gamma, Edna Sweeney, '47, and Virginia Dowd, '48; Beta Zeta, Edwina Lucke and Gloria Rand, Sophomores; Al­pha Epsilon Phi, Bernice Shapiro, '48, and Lorraine Bollt, '47; Chi Sigma Theta, Anne Donavon and Jean Hansen, Sophomores. Renew Tradition

The sorority Round Robin Dance is another of State's traditions which terminated as a result of the war. This is the first dance of this sort since the fall of '42. Intersor­ority Council sponsored the dance as their contribution to the Big-8 pro­gram to fill out the Junior Week­end.

Joyce MacDonald, President of i ntersorority Council, has asked that all those who attend circulate among the sorority houses and not remain at one place all evening.

We*Ud ScUeduU Judiciary Body Schedules Rules For Nominations

Following is the list of events scheduled for tonight and to­morrow as part of the Junior Weekend:

Friday, April 26 8:00-12:00 P.M. — Intersorority

Round Robin Dance at the sorority houses.

Saturday, April 27 11:00 A. M. - 4:00 P. M.—Hike

and picnic at the Indian Ladder and Thatcher Park in the Helderburgs.

9:00 P. M. - 1:00 A. M.—Tradi­tional Junior Prom at Pierce and Sayles, and crowning of Prom Queen in the Ingle Room at Pierce.

Plan Picnic, Hike To Indian Ladder

All the dormitories and group houses will participate in a hike to the Indian Ladder and Thather Park in the Helderburgs for a pic­nic tomorrow. The event, sponsored by Residence Council, is only loose­ly organized and the groups from each house will leave independently of each other.

The time of departure will vary according to announcements by the house presidents. Mary Seymour, '46, house president of Sayles Hall, has announced that her group will leave at 11 a. m. in order to enable the hikers to return in time for preparations for the Junior Prom.

This outing has been planned as a part of the Junior Weekend. Girls who have invited men from other schools or out of town for the In-tersrority Round Robin Dance and the Junior Coronation Ball may include the hike and picnic in their weekend plans. The affair is open to all students in the college.

Students will bring their own lunches and jeans will be accept­able hiking apparel.

Announces Members, Officers, Guardians

Last Wednesday, the Temporary Judicial Board held its first meeting to elect officers and to provide for the general organization of the Board. This Board was voted into existence by a motion passed the Fr.day before Spring vacation, be­cause of the dissolution of Mys-kania, the former judiciary body of State College. The purpose of the Board is to carry on the duties of the former Myskania, and to submit a list of ten names to Student Asso­ciation for approval for membership on the 1946-1947 Judiciary Body.

The twelve Seniors who have ac­cepted positions on the Board are Harriet Brinkman, Georgette Dunn, Jean Griffin, Betty Hamilton, Pris-cilla Hayes, Josephine Maggio, Gloria McFerran, Joseph Palevsky, Shirley Passow, Mary Seymour, Helen Shure, and Mary Straub. At the Wednesday meeting;, Miss Grif­fin was elected Chairman; Miss Mc­Ferran, Secretary; Miss Hayes, Treasurer; and Miss Dunn, Publicity Director. Miss Seymour was ap­pointed Chairman of Rivalry. Nominations for Judiciary

Because of the short period of time that remains before Moving-Up Day, the Board decided to hold daily meetings. The recommended list of ten candidates for next year's Judiciary Board will be posted Tues­day. Additional nominations must be in writing, in a sealed envelope, signed, and must be placed in the Judicial Board mail box before Wed­nesday noon. The Judicial Board mail box is in the lower hall of Draper to the right of the NEWS Office. Class Office Nominations

Nominations for Class Officers were open yesterday. Nominations and resignations for class offices must be submitted in writing, in a (Continued on Page 2, Column V

MARION VITULLO, '47

Gala Coronation Of Queen To Highlight Prom It was in 1933 that the cry,

"Long Live the Queen" first went up for the beautiful ruler of the Junior Prom. Garbed in the purple symbolic of her regal station, the queen watched a Grand March, an­other feature inaugurated by the Class of '34. At the conclusion of the story of her coronation in State College NEWS, there was this state­ment: "The decision as to whether or not the custom will be continued and thereby become a State College tradition will rest with the suc­ceeding classes."

Evidently the following classes decided that the practice of choos­ing the most beautiful and popular girl of the class to reign at their annual ball should be added to the long list of college traditions, and today the high point of the Junior Prom is the coronation of the queen.

In 1935, the coronation of the queen took place serenely on sched­ule in spite of the serious handicap of the very late arrival of the or­chestra engaged for the evening. That was a ball unique in the an­nals of Junior Proms. In '37, the best reason for going to the prom was given by a former queen. Said she, "It will be a crowning situa­tion." Can you imagine how the queen in '38 must have looked in a short formal gown under her pur-

pie robes? Abbreviated skirts were the fashion of the moment, but the traditional coronation was the focus of the evening. Art Kavelln and his "Cascading Chords" Orchestra played at the prom in '41, when Marion Duffy was crowned queen of her class. In '42 ,the first indication of the shortages caused by the war was shown when the Tea Dance was

dropped from the Junior Weekend program, but the midnight corona­tion of a queen took place in the traditional manner. Pat Latimer was crowned the last of the prom queens during the war, but there has been a coronation at the Jun­ior Big 8\s and Big 10's for the past few years.

From the seven candidates this year, one will be picked to wear the royal purple. A blare of trumpets will shatter the hush of expectation as she enters the Ingle Room on the stroke of midnight and marches slowly up the velvet carpeted steps of the stage to receive her crown of spring flowers from last year's queen. After her coronation, she will dance to the strains of the Coronation Waltz, as interpreted by Tommy Kiefer and his orches­tra.

Going by the law of averages, the trend this year may shift to the blonds, as brunette Jen Stiles crowns '47's queen. But then, there's never been a redheaded queen, and per­haps her serene majesty, the 12th, will be a Titian haired damsel. The too, there's always the old saying about gentlemen's preferences. How will the men of '47. vole? The Jun­iors have their pick of seven beau­ties with brains and popularity-tomorrow night will tell.

Kiefer Will Play In Pierce Hall Tomorrow Night, From 9 To 1:00

Spotlight To Illuminate Boardwalk To Sayles

The annual Junior Prom -will re­turn to State tomorrow evening after an absence of three years. Pierce's Ingle Room and the gym of Sayles Hall will house the dance from 9 to 1 A. M. As the clock strikes twelve, Miss Genevieve Stiles, last year's Junior Queen, will make her entrance to crown this year's Junior Queen. Marian Vit-ullo is general chairman of the Prom.

Kiefer to Play There will be dancing in the Ingle

Room to the tune of Tommy Kiefer and nis orchestra. A boardwalk illuminated by spotlights will stretch across the dorm field to the Sayles nan gym where a vie will supply the music for more dancing.

m e major event of the evening will oe the crowning of the queen ivno was voted on by the Junior Class in Assembly, April 12. The queen, whose identity will remain unknown until she walks to her throne tomorrow evening, was se­lected from a group of seven candi­dates nominated from the class. Marty Dunlay, Mary Harvey, Jean Hembury, Sally Johnson, Gertrude Kasper, Mary Reynolds and Edna Sweeney contested for the honor. The four receiving the' next highest number of votes will act as pages.

To Crown Queen At the stroke of twelve, Miss

Stiles, heralded by a blast of trum­pets, will appear clad in her regal robes. Accompanied by her two at­tendants, Queen Stiles will march to the stage when another blare of trumpets will announce the arrival of her successor. Two pages will accompany the new queen to the ttage where she will be crowned with a tiara of flowers. After the traditional ritual the coronation party will dance the Coronation Waltz.

Pink will supplement the class color, green, in the decoration theme, Pink and green streamers will flow from the Queen's throne, and more streamers will spread from the chandelier to converge on the ceiling. A red carpet will be spread over the stairs which the queen will ascend to her throne,

Chaperoncs The faculty members chosen "to

chaperone the event are Dr. Louis C. Jones, Professor of English, and his wile, Dr. Harvey R. Rice, Pro­fessor of Social Studies, and Mrs. Rice, Dr. Ralph G. Clausen, Pro-lessor ol Biology, and Mrs. Clausen, Dr. J. Allan Hicks, Professor of Guidance, and ills wife, Mr. Paul Bulger, Head of the Student Em­ployment Bureau, and Mrs. Bulger, and Dr. Floyd Henrickson, Profes­sor of Guidance, and Mrs. Henrick­son.

State Increases Scholarship A id

The value of state regents schol­arships has been increased from $100 annually to $350 by a bill pass­ed by the state legislature and sign­ed by Governor Thomas Dewey. The increase includes not only the 750 scholarships issued each year by the state but to those held by students now in college, thus affecting 82 State College students who have won this aid.

Since the scholarships run for a four year course, the total value is raised from $400 to $1400. The bill also increases the number of vet­eran scholarships and makes avail­able state help to the children of veterans who died while serving in the armed forces of the United States. The addition of 1200 vet­eran scholarships raises the number available at this time to 3600. These are also worth $350 a year and eight may be awarded to each Assembly District.

A candidate for the office of Pres­ident of Student Association, I pro­pose to carry out the following plat­form :

1. Strict constitutionality and as smooth-running a student govern­ment as possible, In accordance with the decisions made this year.

2. A redoubled effort to make State known and recognized through exchanges with other State colleges and with .surrounding schools, and through cooperation with Press Bureau, the sports program, and any organization connected with intercollegiate functions.

3. Better assemblies, by means of a student poll to determine the type of programs most in demand, by limiting announcements, and by suggesting tliui several organiza­tions collaborate to bring quality speakei's rather than a quantity of them.

Listen my children, And yon shaU hear The tale of a class Know far and near— The Jolly Juniors, Pride of State, Here three years {Without a date.) They've toed the mark To get to heaven— The wonderful class Of forty-seven!

From 8:10 freshmen History to 8:10 methods classes may not seem like progress, but "seein's believ-in'" and the '47 slate is crowded with Gremlin accomplishments

It all began when Francello's presidential locks were shorn by the Blue Devils, straight from—'46. That was before rivalry went out with the derby hat, and '47 blazed through on a two-year career of battles for the rivalry cup. Frosh victories in debate and on the ath­letic field kept up morale despite the fact that the coveted award fell to the Blue instead of the Green on our first Moving-Up Day. Men were scarce in classes those days, but Lashinsky helped out in the Commons by taking on two at a time on the dance floor.

Came our second September and renewal of the rivalry battle with the Yellow foe. A weary veteran now, '47 confused the new frosh by their benevolent reception in Page. Then the bars were down as we made our second bid for the cup. Daffies bowed and paid for dates on Activities Day, were trod­den down in the banner hunt, and yielded to our superior vocal abili­ties in the November sing.

WAC funds were swelled as '47 produced a romance of the Ozarks in Tommy More's hay-filled barn. Then we switched from dungarees to dinner dress and dined in state at the Ten Eyck, where Dr. Hicks gave out with advice on "How to Get Around your Teachers." The next Green undertaking was a stu­pendous paneroma of the history of American vaudeville, entitled "Highlights in Footlights," our Big-8 offering for the year. 'As an anti­climax, the seven struggling Soph Desk Editors had to rewrite their first issue of the NEWS when the copy went to Florida instead of Hudson.)

With '47 headed for sure victory in Rivalry, even Nature conspired to make Moving-Up Day something special with a January blizzard practically in the middle of May. But even the snow didn't dampen our spirit as we out-shouted and out-sang the Yellow Daffies and finally took possession of the tradi­tional cup.

First semester passed in a rush of mid-sems and finals, but Feb­ruary brought great changes in the halls (and Commons) of State — mainly men. Several Juniors star­red on the new basketball team, and crew cuts popped up among the pompadours In Friday's Ed 10 class. The Gremlin social calendar, which began with a class banquet at Jack's, will reach its climax tomorrow night with the return of Junior Prom and a traditional Junior weekend.

So remember:— 7/7 will come out on top Once, we're started we will never

By SHEEHAN and DAY

What do the numbers 4 and 7 mean to you? Nothing? To us (we put 'em together they mean the best class that ever came to State. Athletically, we are unequaled, and what's more, we can prove It! Only the Beginning;

Early in September of '43 the Blue Devils—they were only Sophs then—ruthlessly tossed rivalry at us in the form of touch football. We can still see them marching trium­phantly onto the field, prepared to make the kill. When they left it was a different story, and '47 had just begun to prove her worth. In other words, kids, we beat 'em! Bas­ketball was taken over by the women of the class for the duration. And how they took it over! They really hit the top, winning two out of the three games played, and thereby es­tablished another athletic strong point. We Won

Our Sophomore year was the ful­fillment of all the rivalry dreams a class could possibly hope for. We copped the football and basketball laurels again, and in addition—get this, kids—in addition—we scored high in hockey and swimming. Not content to win the conventional riv­alry sports program, the Gremlins were instrumental in making arch­ery and bowling two of the "musts" in future rivalry. With all these victories chalked up on our side of the score book, there just wasn't much left for the Daffies to win, was there? Something New's Been Added

The women, having acted as guardians to the rivalry points, gracefully ceded the sports spot-Lght to the men of our class. The Junior men continued the high ath­letic traditk n which '47 had set forth. Did ja notice all the Juniors on our varsity basketball team, did 'ja, huh? Softball is still in the offing, and if the season comes up to expectations the Juniors will probably be out in front as usual. From One Who Knows

Even Coach Hathaway has recog­nized the superior sports ability of the Junior class, and he should know. He has summed up '47's po­tentialities in this statement, "The class of '47 has ability unsurpassed by any other Junior Class that I have even witnessed at State Col­lege."

Men Student Guides Needed Dr. Ellen C. Stokes, Dean of Wom­

en, has stated that there is an ur­gent need for more men to serve as student guides. There will be a list on Dean Stokes' Bulletin board all clay today for this purpose,

Starting Monday morning, inter­views will be held in Dean Stokes' office for all those who signed up to serve as guides.
