Robert Frost, Stephen Vincent Benet, and William Rose Benet have been among those who have served on the committee in previous years.
This year's contest will be the twelfth annual William Herbert Carruth Memorial Poetry contest. Carruth brought fame to the University with his poem "Each in His Own Tongue" written on the Hill in 1909. He was head of the department of German, and vice-chancellor of the university. Later he served as head of the department of English at Leland Stanford University. Friends of the poet established the fund to commemorate Carruth's memory and to keep alive interest in poetry.
Announcement of the award will be made about May 1, and the names of the prize winners will appear in the Commencement program. First prize last year was Walt Disney, most warts, c39, for his Sonnet for Diane."
Joy Captivates With Novelty
Hill swing enthusiasts swung out to the rhythms of Jimmy Joy and his band at the Sophomore Hop Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom, and when the last note had sounded everyone heartily agreed that the band really "had it."
The band opened each number with a few bars of what might be called a signature tune, before playing the number to be presented. Joy became popular at once with the dancers because of his willness to play all numbers requested.
The band, which specializes in novelty numbers, gave a arrangement of "China Boy" played entirely on partially filled Coca-Cola bottles, and also a see ceb bar arrangement of "Down By The Old Mill Stream," which was very enthusiastically received. Jimmy Joy himself performed the difficult feat with his drummer, who had something which most of the dancers present had never seen done before.
Nean Koly, one of the band's featured vocalists, made feminine hearts flutter with his rendition of many popular tunes, among them "Two Sleepy People," and "Day after Day." Gay Moran proved that her first name fits her by singing several comedy numbers, and also did a great many torch songs, while "Cub" Higgins pleased the crowd with several numbers, among them good old "Basin Street Blues."
The saxophone section was especially effective on the more romantic tunes, while the trumpets and trombones really "beat it out" on the faster and more swingy numbers. "Bugle Call Bag" left the crowd gasping for breath, and in a slower tempo "Get Out of Town" and "My Reverie" were widely applauded.
There was an air of electricity at the dance, and literally, because one could hardly touch the metal corners of the posts in the ballroom, or even touch another couple without receiving a real shock.

On the SHIN
Blasting the athletic situation at K.S.C., a College editorial writer says, "Great teams don't just happen; they are planned and cultivated." He should have said "planted and cultivated," thereby keeping his phrase 100 per cent agricultural for the benefit of many students who can't think in no other terms.

"If there are nominal democrats who as a matter of principle are convinced that our party should be a conservative party, a Democrat tweedle dum to Republican tweedle-dum 'e' it is on the whole bet that if they are defeated in the party that they might be fought out and that if the tweedle-dums are defeated they join the tweedle-dee's," the President said.
