Child's Dream of Queen
Brings Her to Campus
BY ELLIE SWANSON.
When I was a little girl, my
mother told me stories about
kings and princes and even
queens. Being a simple child, I
believed these fairy tales and by
the time I was old enough to
make decisions, I came to the
conclusion that queens and kings
were some sort of dignitary and
often longed to hold such a pre
tentious position myself.
But then I got to be a bigger
girl ... I saw the despondency
of it all ... I dashed my head
sharply against the wall and mis
erably realized that unless I got
busy, Princess Elizabeth was go
ing to mount the throne in spite
of my nightly prayers. What was
poor cynic like myself to do?
In desperation, I went to the big
university and got to be a big girl.
Freshman.
Now, as a freshman, my hopes
begin to revive ... In a little less
than two semesters I have come
to the conclusion that before I
graduate, chances are three to one
that I, too, will be a queen. I
have watched the newspapers
with renewed interest day by day
and gasped with the mention of
the "Pep Queen," the "Snowflake

H. Peterson Discusses
Television at Conference
Harold C. Peterson, '21, dis
cussed television relay experi
ments conducted by RCA labora
tories at the sixth annual Broad
cast Engineering conference held
at Ohio State university on March

He has been with RCA since

Queen," the "Prom Queen" and
thought that each queen would
bring the end of the campus
monarchs.
Now I am happy! The univer
sity will be crowning queens as
long as they can think of names
for them. I have just read of the
forthcoming coronation of the
newest queen . . . The "Turtle
Trudge Queen."
First Step.
I think the first step the uni
versity should take is to notify
Webster that his definition of
"queen" as "a female monarch,
eminent in rank, power or attrac
tions," should be changed to "a
frequent proclamation of any title
to every third coed." Secondly,
I decidedly believe that Ripley
should be advised of this revolu
tion. Well, now I've told my story.
"I've said it and I'm glad!" Any
queens who wish to bring action
against me can find me at the
"Torrid Home for Jealous Wom
en," recognized by the two crossed
pitchforks on the bars of the
front door. I also wish to an
nounce that all opinions expressed
in my story are my own and do
not necessarily represent the be
liefs of the Daily Nebraskan.
