* Queen For A Penny
Any gentleman with a penny and
heart pounding because of' some
Carolina co-ed, now's the time to
stop hoarding and elect her queen
of the Independent's carnival next
Friday . . the polls are in the can
teen, and the poll tax is one cent.
And all you need to vote seven hun
dred times is seven dollars. Girls
can vote too, even for themselves.
CaA anybody give me five hundred
pennies for a five dollar bill? Well,
can anybody just give me five dol
lars? I'm not particular . . Any
how, the votes are coming in, so
you politicians and earnest citizens
better get busy . . Such charming
lassies as Hal Middlebrooks and
Superman already have a good
start . . the eleven girls leading at
the end of this week will run over
next week . . the ten- that don't
win will be the court-esses. Moral
of this story: the root of all evil
grows into flowers of beauty. or,
the poll tax comes into its own.
* Carnival
Speaking of the carnival the
agenda for that muchly-anticipated
affair includes a fortune teller, a
Hawaiian dance troupe, penny
pitching, bingo, raffle of items like
orchids, sweaters, and shoes, and
attention KA'S-a strip tease that's
as good as the fair's Red-Hot-and
Blue (from what I've heard about
it). Also auctioned kisses from
kissable co-eds . . after the crown
ing of the queen there will be a
dance in her honor . . all this ex
citement will take place in the field
house.
* Fun And Frolic . .
The Kappa Deltas are entcrtaining
potential aircorps lieutenants tomor
row night . . and the Phi Epsilon
Pi's are planning a party to celebrate
after the home-coming game . . it
will be at Jack Gotlieb's and will be
a drop-in affair . . and the eternal
play-boy KA's (that's all right, I
love play-boys) partied again last
night . . "Of course, you haven't for
gotten the Tri-Delt pledge dance to
night at the Woman's club," she prop
ergandered . And the Kappa Sigs
are gonna have one of their happy
times next weekend.

Age-Old Precedent
Is Shattered Here
The mathematics department at
the Unitersity has added two mem
bers to its staff for the 1942-43

of math instructors by each teach
ing a class.
