O. * Students Review Beauty Pagent Various opinions were expressed about the Beauty Pageant by representative students of the campus when interviewed by members of The Gamecock staff. The majority seemed to think it would be a good idea if altered in one respect?that is, if no candidates could be nominated other than those selected by the judges. Some thought it a stupid idea while others thought it good. Opinions of a few arc: Dick Foster?"I'm not in favor of it as 's- I'<l he in favor of it if the May Queen candidates were confined to the one in the beauty pageant. I believe the queen should be selected for beauty and beauty alone." Dave Ellison?"I'm in favor of the pageant in some aspects, I don't see how it will eliminate politics. Thirtysix hours arc given and a lot of "politicing" can be done in 36 hours. I think the student body constitution should have been amended whereby no others could be nominated." Annie Maude Huiet seems to believe that it will help to eliminate politics and that pretty girls will be selected. Although she admits there will still be some politics. Dick Evans?"It good looking girls fio out for it, it will be a help. I don t think it will do away with politics after they are nominated, but it will in the beginning." U. a. o.
