Junior Festivities Open With Crowning Of Queen Virginia I Inaugurated by the crowning of Queen Virginia Kegan and the installation of newly-elected ASUO officers, the 1938 edition of Junior weekend got under way yesterday noon as a capacity crowd broke all records for campus luncheon attendance. Queen Virginia was crowned at l'Z :47 by Junior Class President Zane Kemler, and the new ASUO officers were administered the oath of office by Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the University. Black-robed Friars and Mortar Board members recruited their an nual crop of pledges, wending their I way through the crowd to pick the outstanding junior women and men. Another procession, the Asklepiad pledges, also wound in and out among the crowd as the white-smocked, masked figures carrie a draped skeleton oil a stretcher. Friars Pledge Seven Friars pledged were President Donald M. Erb, honorary member, and Zane Kemler, Harry Weston, Bill Cummings, Lloyd Tupling, Paul Deutschmann, and Henry Nil sen. Mortar Board tapped Betty Riesch, Ruth Tawney, Marionbeth Wolfenden, Catherine Philp, Elisa beth Stetson, Mary Elizabeth Nor vell, Ruth Ketchum, and Honorary Member Mrs. John Stark Evans.

Cooke. Sigma Delta Chi pleges stole a march on the coronation as they crowned their own “queen” on the royal platform. Violators Dunked Intermingled with these other activities Order of the “O” men had their day as they dunked var ious indiscreet males who violated campus luncheon traditions. The “O” men patrolled the green in squads, pouncing on males talking to girls, or wearing neckties or ■white shoes. Even women were dipped in the sunken fountain be side the new law school building as they defied the anti-talking tradi tion. President Donald M. Erb bowed to luncheon tradition with all oth er males, appearing without his necktie to keep his head dry. Perfect weather enhanced the spectacle as the cloudless sky showed in direct contrast to last year’s windblown affair.
