Rodgers Wins Relays Crown One Down; One To Go
It's all over, girls! Those anx-?
It's all over, girls! Those anxious days of waiting are gone—and we have a new Relays Queen.
The reigning queen and her attendants will be presented to Relay officials, visiting dignitaries, and spectators from the queen's stand, accompanied by the usual camera flashes of many photographers.
Ruth Rodgers, Delta Gamma Colony, won the race for queen of the 1941 Kansas Relays and will "reign for a day" at the athletic event this Saturday. Mary Burchfield, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Pi Beta Phi Teresa Comley will act as attendants to the new queen at her coronation.
Miss Rodgers a college sophomore from Lawrence, was selected from a field of 13 girls. Pictures of the entrants were sent to the University of Wisconsin track team, who chose the winner and her attendants. The

Secretaries
If you are a man enrolled in the University as a junior, and if you want to win $50, you should enter a 500-word essay in the Graduate Magazine's contest.
Today is secretary's day!
With Chancellor Malott and Raymond Nichols from the Chancellor's office; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College; E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School; and F. J. Moreau, dean of the Law School; all in Kansas City attending budget meetings, efficient secretaries are being given their chance.
The prize is offered by an alumnus who believes that college men should become financially well-todo. The subject he has suggested is "What About That Rainy Day— A Part of My Earnings Are Mine to Keep."
Junior Men Will Compete In Essay Contest on Thrift
The essay must be on the subject of thrift, but beyond that you are free to use any device or means of approach and development that you choose. Some points have been suggested that should receive special consideration. "Does a student's working his way through college teach him thrift?" and "What is the prospect of old-age pensions?" along with comment on the remark "I'd like to see men independent so they can help others."
☆ ☆ ☆
The $100 in prize money will be divided, and two winners each will be awarded $50. One winner must be a junior in the School of Engineering; the other, any man regularly enrolled as a junior in the University.
Intention of entry must be filed at the Alumni office by May 8, and essays must be submitted by May 12.

Eberhardt Names Six Members To WSSF Board
A World Student Service Fund executive board composed of four men an two women was announced today by Fred Eberhardt, college junior and chairman of the Hill's WSSF drive.
The six committees are meeting today and tomorrow, organizing schedules and making definite plans for the drive. The executive board will meet again Monday to coordinate activities.
The chairman and their respective committees are Paul Gilles, college sophomore, publicity; Mary Ewers, business junior, special education; Donald DeFord, graduate, Tag Day; Bill Cole, college sophomore, pre-Tag Day solicitations; Mary Helen Wilson, college junior, banquet; Nation Meyer, college sophomore, entertainment.
As a climax to queens, queens and more than enough queens, the Jayhawker magazine has selected 15 of the Hill's leading beauties to grace the pages of the last issue of the magazine.
It is probable, Eberhardt said, that a Midweek will be held on Tag Day, the only requirement for admission to which will be the wear of WSSF tags.
Tag Day, the day of the final drive for funds, will be May 7, Eberhardt said. A prison fare banquet will be held Tuesday evening, the night before the drive, for students and faculty members interested in working for the W.S.S.F.
The executive board has set $1,000 as the goal for this campus, all of which will be raised through solicitations and the sale of tags on Tag Day.
The 15 pictures, representing eight sororites and three women's dormitories will be sent to an expert who will choose the Jayhawker Queen of 1941. The queen will be shown in a full page picture in the fifth issue of the magazine.
The candidates, and the organizations they represent are Florence Allen, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Charlene Baker, Chi Omega; Betty Banker, Pi Beia Phi; Barbara Barber, Kappa Alpha Theta, Ruth Beeher. Alpha Chi Omega; Mary Burchfield, Kappa Alpha Theta; Vivian Clark, Corbin; Marilyn Duncan, Alpha Delta Pi.
