Rings were tossed over smiling Theta heads protruding from the backdrop. TYING FOR honorable men tion were the Chi Omegas with "Win-Get Ahead" and Alpha Omicron Pi with "Do You Make Them Sigh? Ask an AOPi." Both of these booths had themes centering around a roulette wheel. All of the organized women's groups on the campus submit ted entries, but because of lack of space, only sixteen booths could take part. The booths were judged on two bases, each counting 50. The student vote, given to every ticket holder who had visited six booths, determined half of the outcome. The other half was decided by a faculty com mittee on the basis of original ity of the idea, suitability of the theme and the manner in which the idea was carried out. lAriLii .limits were Rev. Rex Knowles, Presbyterian student minister, Mrs. Cynthia Panderup, art instructor, and Miss Janet Wilson ,home eco nomics instructor.
