Who Will Kiss The Relay Queen? Strange,Nobody Seems To Know
By SAM TEFORD
Strange things people have to worry about these days.
Along with the H-bomb, Indochina, and high taxes, there are also a few problems about the kissing of queens.
Here at the University it is still doubtful who will have the honor of kissing the queen of the Kansas Relays at her presentation Saturday afternoon, but the University of Minnesota has banned queen kissing for its "E-Day" affair.
The co-chairmen of the Relays committees—Clarke Keys, journalism senior, and Robert Ball, college senior—almost had the problem settled. One was to present the flowers and then kiss the queen-Carol Shellhaas, college sophomore—while the other was to bestow the crown and then kiss the queen.
Then it developed there was no crown for the Relays queen.
At present Keys is favored by local bookmakers as the best choice to do the kissing, primarily because Ball is married.
But a compromise, short of flipping a coin, eventually may be worked out. It happens that the queen will have two attendants, thereby making it possible for a consolation prize, if kissing two Relays attendants can be called that.
Engineering seniors at Minnesota, however, have no hope at all, since the chairman of "E-Day" ruled against kissing queens. Traditionally all graduating engineers had the privilege of kissing them.
Editorially, the Minnesota Daily f o u n d sociological implications, claiming some engineers never see a coed after orientation week and arguing that denial of such an opportunity might leave them unprepared to go out into the world to meet women again.
Proposing a solution, the Minnesota newspaper said there should be 10 queens instead of five, making the ordeal less strenuous for the girls.
Concluding, the editorial exhorted engineers to fight for their rights, inalienably granted by the constitution, to restore the tradition.

At the beginning of the Christian Era, pagans of northern Europe offered human sacrifices to their gods and buried them in bogs. In many cases the tannic acid of the bogs has preserved the remains in lifelike fidelity.
