Rat Momentari Lovely May Qu The May Queen was ex pqcted, but instead a rat mo mentarily stole the show. The heralds were getting ready to announce the entrance of the queen, the late comers, who were probably purposely tardy to show the new hats, were dashing hither and yon in search of seats, and then it happenedl The crowd rose like an in coming wave, and someone, obviously a woman, shouted "whoops, a rat." From some where probably from Steve Lokatos' room below the stands, a rat had jumped the gun and was beating the lovely attendants of the queen's court to the spotlight. S. C. Press To Perfect Organization Journalists Will Gather Here, June 9 A meeting to perfect a permanent organization of weekly newspapers in South Carolina will be held at the University of South Carolina Friday, June 9. Letters will be mailed next week to publishers of all weeklies in the state asking them to attend the or ganization meeting. The Univer sity's division of extension and school of journalism will cooperate with the publishers in this venture. 'Plans for the organization meet ing were drafted following a luncheon at the home of President J. Rion McKissick yesterday. In vitations to attend will be sent out by W. W. Smoak, publisher of the Walterboro Press and Standard, one of the chief instigators of the movement. Mr. Smoak explained that many publishers of weekly newspapers felt that they should get together at regular intervals to discuss prob lems peculiar to their field. He emphasized the fact that the new organization would not interfere in any way, with the work of the South Carolina Press Association, but rather would supplement it. The organization meeting will consist of a session at 10:30 a. m., a luncheon at 1 p. m. and another session at 2 p. m., all in the Univer sity's education building. The pro gram will include discussions of the necessity for such an organization and the work that it can accom plish. Permanent organization is expected to be completed, commit tees appointed and officers elected. --- . . . Crow Speaks To Graduates Dr. Orin F.

COLU] MERCI ASSOCI ly Steals The Leen And All H -Realizing that after all they had come to see the crowning of the May Queen, the au dience settled back to their seats. One old lady, who was shrouded with the dignity like unto an oriental potentate, re marked that it was absurd to show such fear over a rat. But we have all been forced to retrack statements. The good lady in question had not finishing voicing her opinion when the cry of "Rat. Kill that rat" was heard again, this time only a short distance from her. Not waiting to see if any of her audience-neighbors were going to jump up, the scared old soul bounced to her feet in Some Do's And So Dude And His D: Some Western Col St. Peter, Minn.-(ACP)-Wh tavus Adolphus College and of e has been standing up and heerin to the co-eds by Augustana Colic has been asserting itself in no un Here are the "Do's and Dont'sS for Dudes and Dates" they have just made law on the Gustavus campus: 1.

She was not afraid of the rat, she said, but if it came near her she was going to step on it. At that instant, the poor creature must to have made his appear ance in the vicinity of her feet, for she went into convulsions that made St. Vitis Dance look like setting up exercises. Being helped to her seat, she retained a sphinx-like silence. But this little rat, not like Mickey Mouse, had manners.

But, observe, they have removed their feet with haste, and both listen astonishly. Is it true that they hear a woman's voice in the room above. "Who would dare bring a woman right above our nose," said Garris with an air of lost pride. Like a snap of a whip they were up the stairs (some say that it was the first time Marshal Cantey ever climb the steps). Just as policemen force in a door in a raid, the two busted in.

The possibility of losing some of his social prestige was Ed Atkin son's reason for not making his appearance before his waiting pub lic (meaning the audience at the show, not his creditors) . . . Some say that the best number of the show was back stage during in termission-it was exciting, daring, and artistic. During the first half of the program, part of curtain rope broke disabling half of the curtain. At intermission, a shaky bookcase was brought on stage, and Ben Polayes and Melvin Levkoff got up on it. Kit Fitzsimons on top of them-the latter making an effort to fix the curtain but with no suc cess.
