Fhi, Builders Board and the
Cornhusker Staff. She is a

oraries. Cumulative average 6.8.

inter-University cooperation.
Jacqueline Collins, a soph
omore, is a member of Alpha
Omicron Pi, Union Board,
Builders and is a Union com
mittee chairman. She is a
member of Phi Chi Theta

ful in presenting opinions to
the Council.

ma Alpha Epsilon and Young
Republicans.

more, is a member of Sigma
Chi, Alpha Kappa Psi, Build'
ers and the Varsity Tennis

Cumulative average 7.6.
To Newman, the Student

being a puppet of the admin

solve the problems of both
sides.
Engineering
Three representatives

North Carolina State college.

Paxton is running for Coun

Sandoz' Advice to New Writers
Start Another Before You Finish
"Start something else be
fore you finish one thing,"
Mari Sandoz, noted author,
told aspiring writers at the
poetry and fiction awards pre
sentation Tuesday afternoon.
"Just because you've won a
prize don't stop writing," she
said. "One story has ruined
many a writer!"

May Pole Dance, Queen
Part of First Ivy Days
Ivy Day, a 61 year old campus tradition, has changed
and expanded since the first spring festivities began.
The present program stems from a Senior Class Day
begun in 1898. In 1901 the festivities were called Ivy Day.
Then seniors marched to the old University Hall and sang
the school song. . ...
A senior dance was held after the senior class president
turned over the ivy trowel to the junior class president.
Tackling of the 13 Innocents was added to the Day two
years later. ' .
That same year, 16 senior women did a May Pole
dance.
The local chapter of Mortar Board, the Order of the
Black Masque, was founded in 1905 and the masking of out
standing junior women made the day a bigger occasion.
Fifty girls carried the first Ivy and Daisy chains
around the campus in 1910. In 1912 the first May Queen was
crowned. ' ,
Ivy from Doughboys was planted in 1918 and a large
flat of 1403 stars was presented to the University in honor
of college men in the armed services.
After the way a Lord of the May was presented, but
the practice was discontinued soon.
Ivy Day in 1S38 combined Farmers' Fair, E-Week and
the grand opening of the new Student Union.
Three years ago Spring Day was added to make the
Ivy Day weekend a busy one.
This Saturday all the innovations of the past combine
into one big program with new Innocents biting the dust,
ihriUed junior women being masqued, and warbling fra
ternities and sororities competing in the Ivy Day Sing.
The traditional ivy, which traditionally never grows,
will be planted by the presidents of Innocents and Mortar
Board.
Numerous trophies for scholarship, activities and
achievement will be presented to campus organized houses. '
A senior woman with the highest average also receives a
trophy.
Over it all will reign the May Queen and her court of
outstanding junior, senior and sophomore women and the
two freshman pages. Ivy and Daisy chain members pre
cede the queen and line the path leading to her throne.
Student Council members and
the student body be in
creased. This, he feels, could
be accomplished by joining
student societies such as
AIRE and ASME.
Dick Valdez, a sophomore,
is a member of Delta Up-
silon, Builders. Corn Cobs, the
Blueprint Staff and Pi Epsi
lon Pi.
Cumulative average 6.2.
Valdez feels that when
issues, especially pertaining
to Engineering ollege, come
before the Council, the mo
tions should be tabled allow
ing representatives the oppor
tunity to consult members of
their college for opinions.
Winston Wade, a sopho
more, is a member of Alpha
Tau Omega, Corn Cobs,
NUCWA and Young Republi
cans. He is advertising man
ager of the Blueprint.
Cumulative average 6.4.
A chance to stand up for
what he thinks right and
what the students want
serves as Wade's basic rea
son for running for Council.
