May Day
Awards, I
And Anni
By BET$Y EHRHARDT
News Editor
True Carolina spirit and good
sportsmanship reigned at the an
nual University Day activities last
Wednesday.
University Day (or May Day,
if you prefer) is the day on which
outstanding students are recog
nized for their achievements dur
ing the past year and the May
Queen is crowned with much pomp
and pageantry. Free lunch Is also
on the horseshoe provided and
anyone wishing more dessert is
happily obliged with a nice choco
late cream pie in the kisser at
the Phi Ep pie throwing event.
Presentation 1
A snappy wind greeted the
loyal, energetid few who turned
out bright and early that morning
for the presentation of awards.
Industrious souls who had strived
all semester to keep the cleanest
rooms on their halls were re
warded with radios and record
players while others removed their
Inertia. The strains of music from
Glenn Miller albums, won by the
sororities and fraternity with the
neatest social rooms, were heard
all over the campus. One boy was
spotted racing over to the ad
ministration building while the
winners were still being an
nounced, presumably to pick up
his radio.
The crowd seemed to increase
by a couple of hundred for the
free lunch on the horseshoe. Stu
dents and professors alike happily
munched on. hot dogs and potato
salad while listening to the music
of the University band.
True feelings harbored by stu
dents all winter came to the sur
face at the Phi Ep pie throwing
contest which followed the lunch
eon. Many students expressed
their disappointment at not seeing

more of their favorite professors
there.
Favorite profs Kit Fitzsimmons
and Johnny Herrin of the account
ing department were there,
though. The whole crowd chipped
in to see the lively profs throw
gooey pies at each other.
Gamecock Loses
Our favorite person, Lee Gor
don, station manager of WUSC,
challenged Gamecock editor John
Ray. Johnny was at the printers
at the time so business manager
Danny Donovan substitutA. News
paper people not being known for
their wealth or liberality with
money, the Gamecock fought the
good fight but finally had to give
in to rival organization WUSC.
The Kappa Delta's challenged
their own president, Louise Owens.
Miss Garnet and Black, Shirley
Hardeman, being the only pledge
around atAhe moment, inaturally
was elected to have the honor of
throwing the pie. At last report,
we heard that Shirley has clean
up detail over at the sorority room
for the rest of the semester.
Izzy Hit
An unidentified little miss, about
five years old, gave fifty cents to
smear out-going student body
prexy Izzy Lourie in the face witih
a big hunk of lemon meringue.
She told reporters that she had
tried to reach her "boy friend" in
Preston twenty times in one night
and just didn't like the new phone
system.
McNulty Crowned
After a delay of thirty minutes,
an electric organ began to wheeze
the strains of "Pomp and Cir
cumstance" and two pages in their
white satin costumes led the pro
cession. Members of the court in
billowy pastel dresses entered
from both sides. Flower girls,
coaxed by Court Jester Red Ness,
trailed not too soon afterwards.
Maid of honor Dolly Jean Dennis
in light blue marquisette preceded
pretty blonde May Queen Tena
McNulty, who wore an off-the
shoulder tiered gown of white
organdy. After Tena was crowned
by President Donald Russell, the
