Junior College Girl Rebels Against
Stigma of “The Most Popular Girl”
.. .. .. - — — wn mwm m
Left, above, Assemblyman Roy Bishop, whose bill
would make junior college fraternities legal again in
California, despite a barrage of parent-teacher pro
tests. Below, Dean Hopkins of San Mateo, foe of the
frats, who threw seven students out of school for
kidnaping the caustic school paper editor. Center,
pretty Dorothy Tully, who wept instead of smiled
when she was chosen the most popular co-ed of San
Mateo College by students’ ballots. Right, Edward
Bauor, unpopular San Mateo school editor, walking
home from a ride after a gruelling ordeal at hands
of school frat leaders, who took his clothes and made
him walk back to town.
“Why Did They Pick on
Me?” Moaned popular
Co-ed
Dorothy tully is the
most popular girl in
California’s San Mateo
Junior College, so acclaimed
by a vote of the students. But
instead of being happy over the
honor she says:
“I’m so disappointed they had to
pick me out for tills thing. I wish
my name had never been mentioned.
I Just know my future at Leland
Stanford University will be
ruined!"
Dorothy is pretty, vivacious, and
her Intense diaiike of the crown
which she has been forced to wear
to not due to any unusual adoles
cent complex against applause. But
now with San Mateo a seething
cauldron of charges and counter
charges as a result of a State-wide
fraternity row, Dorothy would
/uther be Ignored.
Her election was the climax to an
Intense feud at the college—one
that echoed In the State Legisla
ture when Assemblyman Roy
Eishop attempted to pass a bill that
would repeal the present law pro
hibiting fraternities and sororities
in high schools and junior colleges.
His opponents, headed by Senator
Herbert W. Slater, are emphatic in
their efforts to keep the law as
it is.
When Assemblyman Bishop in
troduced his bill to reinstate the
student social societies, two frater
nities at San Mateo revealed that
they had enrolled the outstanding
athletes, scholars and elite of the
school. Parents and teachers were
Incensed in many instances and
wrote letters to the Assemblyman
that his bill would encourage snob
bery and work hardships against
students who weren’t asked to
join.
Then came the popularity con
teut. The fraternities boasted that
they would run away with the race.
None but members had a chance.
Edward Bauer In the "San Ala
tean," student publication of which
he Is editor, printed a series of edl
' •sViTipiy taking the frat
members to task as disloyal to the
school.
The theft and "stuffing" of the
popularity ballot boxes brought
forth an article by Bauer which
contained veiled hints as to the
Identities of the guilty students.
Next morning, on his way to
school, Bauer was Invited Into a
car by fellow students and stripped
of most of his clothes a long way
from his home.
As a result the students who had
participated in Bauer’s kidnaping
were expelled, whereupon the stu
dent body rose to protest the ex
pulsions, and murmurs arose about
an intended strike. And as the
strike talk Increased Dean Hop
kins decided that something must
be done to distract the attention of
the student*. Why not another
popularity cdntest?
Boxes were again set up, this
time under guard. But only 40
students responded with ballots.
These 40 named Dorothy Tuliy as
the most popular girl.
“What will 1 ever do after I get
to Leland Stanford?" moaned Dor
othy, "with my name linked to this
awful business? Oh, I wish no o .e
had ever thought of me!"
