Social H BY BETTY I The coronation of Edith Wright as May Queen Tuesday night requires sQme of our better adjectives. The decorating was the neatest job we've seen in many a day around the cam pus. From one end of the Field house to the center were long lines of fringed green crepe paper; which continued behind the dais to form a background for the court. Palms were placed around the ramp which ran in a semi circle and the queen's throne was at the top of a row of white steps. The attendants, all twenty-six of them, looked beautiful as they took their places to the music of Henry West book's orchestra. Edith looked very regal as Presi dent McKissick placed the crown on her head. We noticed Mrs. Carlisle Roberts (Hamilton Warren), who was May Queen last spring, watching the affair with interest. For the entertainment of her court, the queen presented Sylvia Stern, who did a ballet dance; her jester, Matthew Poliakoff, who raved and ranted on the Poliakoff Palace of Palatial Para dise; and Pete Smith and Sis John son, who pleased everybody with an original mixture of the Big Apple and Trucking. Congratulations to Bill Bochman, Joab Dowling and Joe Campbell for a successful coronation and the four star dance that followed. Pi Beta Phi Margaret Hawkins, a Campus Per sonality this week, is the newly elected president of Pi Beta Phi. Other of ficers are Jane Williamson, vice-presi dent; Wilbur Kirkland, recording sec retary; Margaret Rollins, treasurer; Virginia Townsend, corresponding sec retary; Betsy Yeadon, pledge supervi sor.

Campus P BY LEOL Margaret Hawkins Athletic, friendly, frank, Margaret Hawkins is truly an all-around girl in Carolina sports. She is most ac tive in basketball and baseball; and prefers football as a "spectator" sport. Being a person who acts upo im pulse, "Blondie" (as her friends call her) often indulges in her hobby of driving automobiles fast. She's un conventional, too, having a particular aversion to wearing hats. When she has her way, she's partial to white sport clothes. Much Honored Margaret is president of Chi Delta Phi, national fraternity for girls tal ented in writing. Last year she was the winner of that fraternity's short story contest. Her literary society is "the Euphrosynean. She served last se mester on the honor committee. And speaking of honors, Margaret is vice president of the Co-ed Association, and a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, national leadership fraternity. This rising senior, who is working toward her B. S. degree, is particu larly interested in her Biology course. She is an ardent advocate of the new Carolina point system, and is con fident of its future success. Enjoys Poetry Though she doesn't care for read ing novels and short stories, she en joys poetry immensely. Her favorite poem is, "The Fool's Prayer." She is the happy owner of two Eng lish Bull dogs. As regards cats, she is not interested. In fact, she hates them. Romantically speaking, she is fond of carnations and Benny Good man's orchestra. Margaret, who also is president of her sorority, Pi Beta 'Phi, is a native of Columbia.

Learn The Way To COPELAND Co. 1400 Main Street rsonalities A GARETY Jack Lyon The shy, quiet, diminutive captain elect of Carolina's '37 football team is, of course, none other than Jack Lyon of Conneaut, Ohio. This mod est No. 1 man in football has a slow smile that makes friends out of strang ers, almost unconsciously as far as they are concerned. He has traveled all over the Great Lakes region and the South on foot ball trips. Here at Carolina he has been a member of the Block "C" Club. Outside of football, he is active in bas ketball and track. Likes Dogs A man of absolutely no violent likes or dislikes, he perserveringly follows his hobby, which is sleeping. He likes any dog, whether it's a thoroughbred or a homeless nonentity. In fact, Jack even prefers hours spent in the com pany of dogs to hours spent in reading, dancing, and attending movies. This amicable junior in the School of Arts and Sciences is especially in terested in geology. When he has a few leisure hours he spends them in the geology lab. Jack doesn't have many such hours, though, he says. Foot ball practice takes up most of his time. He is easy to please as regards to meals, people and life in general. As far as we could learn, he is not work ing for the abolishment of any Caro lina practices. He 'Is not a reformer of any sort. When modern improvements are made, Jack will be willing to en joy them, but, on the whole, life seems to him satisfactory at present. -U. ". O. of the Y. W. C.
