State College
Press Sets Up
Peace Front
By AL KERSHAW
Reacting against the general de-featistic
attitude toward the pres-ent
European situation prevalant
among college students, is the new
College Peace Front, organized last
week at the Kentucky intercol-legiate
Press Association held at
Eastern State Teachers College.
The peace-front proposal, which
was advanced by the Cardinal
editors along with representatives
from U. of K.’s Kernel, was adopt-ed
unanimously by Kentucky Col-lege
editors, with nearly all schools
represented.
Although the definite platform
of the movement has not yet been
set up, it was agreed that it should
lean on three major points: To
counteract the defeatist's outlook
in Kentucky Colleges; to react
against the effectiveness of the
R.O.T.C. in those schools where
military training is offered; and
to attack legislation and, in gen-eral,
any administrational moves
which seem to advance the likeli-ness
of the U. S. entering war.
Jim Caldwell, associate editor of
the Kentucky Kernel, was elected
as new president of the K.1.P.A.,
with Mary Agnes Finneran of
Eastern State as vice president.
The fall meeting will be held at
Transylvania College in Lexing-ton.
In the recent Kentucky College
newspaper contest, sponsored by
the K. I. P. A., Murray’s semi-monthly
news was awarded first
place. The Cardinal copped four
third places in the fields of ad-vertising,
editorials, features and
news.
All-American
Cardinal was awarded All-
American rating by the Associated
Collegiate Press it was learned
this week through the Associated
Press. This is the highest rating
that the paper has yet received.
Since the particulars have not
yet been received, a detailed
account will appear in the next
regular issue.

Henninger Death
Grieved By
Friends
Intimates and acquaintances
were shocked early this week to
learn of the death of “Buster”
Henninger, football aspirant and
member of Sigma Chi Sigma Fra-ternity.
Henninger, a former stu-dent
of Male High School, entered
the University last February and
shortly after his entrance was
pledged by the Sigma Chi Sigmas.
Avery well liked fellow, he be-came
well known in campus social
circles and was also deeply inter-ested
in other extra-curricular ac-tivities
as a carry-over from his
high school days when he was
interested in amateur dramatics.
Where amateur athletics were con-cerned,
“Buster” shone and we
know that he gured highly in
Coach Apitz’s plans for next fall.
Walter's nickname “Buster” was
so familiar that very few knew his
given name, but it is a certainty
that where he was known he was
liked and where he was liked he
shall be missed.

Contest Opens
For College
Freshman Queen
Coming distractions—the an-nual
Freshman Sweetheart Dance,
Friday, May 10, at the Gym from
9 till 1, and only 75c couple or
stag. Yes, it’s another election and
in accordance with the current
reform movement, will be strict-ly
on the level. Candidates must
be nominated by a petition bear-ing
25 signatures. Petitions must
meet the May Ist noon deadline
in the Dean of Women’s Office.
The election will take place May
9th, the day before the dance.
Glamour, intrigue accompany this
classic of college dances. Who’s
the most popular freshman bit of
pulchritude? Who knows? Time
can only tell (but you can make
some pretty hot guesses).
Be thinking about the Student
Council sponsored Moonlight(?)
Boatride coming next month. Pro
or Con? (P. L. release.)
Who Was Elected Junior Prom Queen?
Queen Goddard? Queen Krueger ? Queen Gleason ? Queen Kelly ? Queen Hall ?
Dottie Krueger
Zeta Tau Alpha '
You Juniors want a Prpm queen
who really looks the part—that’s
our Dottie Krueger. Every queen
should have beauty, grace, charm,
poise, intelligence and dignity.
Some girls have one thing, some
another; this girl has them all.
To prove this, you have only to
look at her long line of activities
Doris Gleason
Kappa Delta
K. D.’s choice for Junior Prom
Queen is our popular and well-liked
Doris Gleason. Wherever you
see activity you will always find
Doris with her dark hair and
sparkling brown eyes in the midst
of it. She is a member of the Stu-dent
Council and also of the Wo-men’s
League Council, not forget-ting
the fact that she is treasurer
Mary Lee Kelly
Chi Omega
Have you ever heard of a girl
who could do everything—swim,
dance, play hockey and basketball,
hold offices, get top-notch grades,
win beauty contests? If you
haven’t, it’s none other than our
Mary Lee.
She won the Chi Omega schol-arship
award last semester, and
was recently elected rush captain
Queen Features Prom Tuesday
Election In Dark
As Little Jack Little
To Deliver Rhythm
With any of the five queen con-testants
apt to be crowned, the
Junior Prom, to be held Tuesday
night, nine till one, at the Madrid
Ballroom, is causing a high state
of tension. Little Jack Little and
orchestra is to be on hand to
furnish the music.
The winner of Tuesday’s elec-tion
will not be known till the
Prom. Even the person who is
to crown the queen is not known.
As part of the coronation cere-monies,
a grand March will pre-ceed
the big event. Magnificent
decorations have been planned
with each organization represent-ed
by a symbol or crest.
To be eligible for the twenty
dollar prize to the organization
who sells the most tickets,
organizations must turn in all
tickets and ticket money to Mil-ton
Cantor, Cardinal Office not
later than noon, Tuesday.
Milton Cantor, Prom chairman,
reports that sale of tickets is up
to expectations and that a limited
number are still available at Gar-diner
Hall and Medical School
bookstores, Law School library
and fraternity and sorority
houses.
Barristers Offer
Ball, No Queen
Park-Miles and company will
furnish the music this year for
the Barrister’s Ball (or Barrister’s
brawl, if you like) at the Madrid
Ballroom, Friday evening, April 26.
Of special interest is this ball
in that there will posilutely be no
queen, no voting, no petitions.
Which is saying something in the
current ball, dance and Prom sea-son.
Each Law School student will be
given four date or stag bids. That
is, those students who contribute
$3 each to the general cause. Inter-ested
students should visit the
West Room of the Law School any
day at 12:30.
The head of the Law School
Student Council today stated, “We
of the Law School want to make
this dance a most enjoyable affair.
We should show the Liberal Arts
students that we can give good
dances too. Alumni, pre-laws, and
friends should all have a dandy
time if we cooperate in putting on
the dance in good fashion.”
Stacy Hall
Pi Beta Phi
Teacher: What bright little stu-dent
can tell me whom we are go-ing
to study today?
Class: Queen Stacy Hall of the
Junior Prom!
Teacher: I see you’ve all studied
your lesson well. Tommy suppose
you give us a description of Queen
Stacy.
Tommy: 21 years old; 5 feet, 6
