Students G( For Reveng I Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity has a special interest in the outcome of today's election of a new student body president and of the May Queen. 4For these two are expected to open the bidding-against each other-in the third annual Phi Ep pie-throwing contest that will be part of the KSK-sponsored May Day program on Wednesday, May 5. Last year it took a five-dollar bid for co-queens Jean Rikard and Jean Crosby to plaster Izzie Lourie in the face with a gooey lemon meringue creation. After the opening fling, a group of professors were put on the block with the entire student body eligible to bid for the privilege of hitting a prof in the puss with a pie, a chance that comes only or e a year. Then the students blan bidding among themselves. The pie-throwing lasts for two hours and anyone in the student body is eligible to challenge any other student. This yvar the pie-throwing will be held on the horseshoe from two to four in the afternoon, after KSK serves lunch. Approximately $200 was cleared in 1952 with the money going to the O)K scholarship fund and an other $150 was added last year when rain put a damper on the Odds and Ends Are Sold in Sims Canteen The canteen in Sims dormitory efficiently serves the boarding co-eds in both Wade Hampton and Sims.

In Grandnia's day it was the Florodora Sextette who achieved fame and fortune by setting the standard for feminine beauty, but in 1954 it will be the six prettiest schoolgirls chosen in the Palmolive Beauty Contest which is now un derway and will run until June 15. This is the kind of a contest all girls dream about. Six lucky love lies will be brought to New York, each with a member of her family. During their stay they'll live at one of New York's world-famous hotels, be driven around in limou sines to take in the city's sights from Chinatown to Rockefeller Center, from the UN to Times Square. They'll dine at "21," Toots Shor's, the Stork Club and actually be a part of the scene in these favorite restaurants frequented by the big names of stage, screen, and society. There will be gay evenings at the theatre when they go to the hit shows of Broadway and see the lights and crowds of the Gay White Way for themselves. And as no feminine trip is complete without a shopping expedition, each girl will receive a glamorous $1,000 wardrobe, specially selected for her by a leadintg fashion de signer. 1High spot of the thrill-packed days in New~ York will be the ap pearanuce of the schoolgirl beauties ont a coast-to-coast televisiont pro gram with famous TV stars, when announcemenit will be madle of the Grand Prize Winner.
