    BY MARY HELEN THOMS,
Presenting the "Bizad Beauty
Queen" alias, Mr. C. L. Nelson,
associate professor of business or
ganization. Chosen at the annual
bizad banquet held at the chamber
of commerce last night, Nelson
was unanimously selected to-ear
the badge of "beauty queen" by
an "Impartial" judging team com
posed of Ernest Larson, Gerry
Lyons, Pollyann Petty and Nor
man Veda.
Climax of the evening's informal
and joke riddled program was the
faculty beauty queen contest, at
which Nelson was chosen the beau
ty among the btzad professors. Fol
lowing individualistic parading of
each of the faculty members inter
rupted by appropriate applause
and booing of the students and
wives of the faculty members, Nel
son was selected and then pre
sented with the prize a white
streamer with "Bizad Beauty
Queen" in red letters and "ye old
brown Jug" with the usual con
tents.
Present Gold.
John D. Clark, dean of the
college, opened the program fol
lowing the dinner by introducing
Mr. Nathan Gold, guest at the
banquet and contributor of ten
William Gold Prize Keys to the
students of the freshman class
having the highest standing thru-
out the year. Gold gave a short
address on the advantages of and
the attitude toward education in
the present day world.
Dean Clark then presented the
Gold Keys to the four students,
Betty Lee Parker, Bernard Urich,
Mary Louise Hanson and Shirley
Emma Jenkins, who were present
at the banquet. The six students
who were unable to receive their
awards last night are: Dorothy
Jane Duncan, George Allan Dun
lap, Robert Holland, Inez Johnson,
Rolland Russel Ritter, and Wallace
Dale Stiegelmeyer.
Program Opens.
Following the awarding of the
Gold Keys and mention of other
awards given to students in the
bizad college during the past year,
the program was opened by mas
ter of ceremonies, Karl Arndt, as
sociate professor of economics.
Expressing appreciation to Mr,
Gold for the many years in which
he has given keys and more keys
to bizad students, Arndt presented

a gold heyhole to the Lincoln busi
nessman.
When order was restored at
the banquet, Arndt presented five
'Oscar-ettes" to students and fac
ulty members who are noted for
their unusual characteristics. The
"Oscar-ettes" were little baby dolly
all dressed up in their birthday
clothes plus three cornered pants.
The first doll went to Bob Fer
guson for his "endurance, ' in
honor of his being the "old faith
ful" of the college now in his fifth
year. Lila Howell received the
second "Oscar-ette" for her out
standing work in politics. The
third doll was presented to Profes
sor Nelson 'in honor of his great
capacity that is, drinking ten
cups of coffee during a 50 minute
class period held in the Union grill.
The fourth award was made to
Prof. C. M. Elliott for his unusual
ability of never being able to pass
down a complete corridor of Sosh
without being stopped to enter into
a short conversation. Estelle Len
"nn's credit rating won for her
the .ast "Oscar-ette." The credit in
question was at a student hangout
on North 14th.
Bizad students whose averages
for the year 1942-43 place them in
the upper 10 percent of their class
