Rules for a democratic method for selection of the queen will be announced in Tuesday’s Em erald, he said. The democratic selection method has been planned by tho junior weekend directorate, Van deneynde stated, because, al though the annual celebration is sponsored by the junior class, the directorate believes that the queen selection should be made from an all-campus view. Nominations Duo Because of the few nomina tions now in. he said, it is impor tant that all women’s organi zations should submit their nom inations before the deadline.
