Here Is Plan For Consolidation
UERE IS AN EXPLANATION of the proposed combination of
* 4 publications. _
PROPOSAL NO. 1 — To ftsue three Crimsons and one Campus
a .month. Campus will contain all of the Entre Nous and Quill
features. Snapshots, special articles, short stories, beauty section,
unit organization pictures, fraternity and sorority pictures and other
interesting features w..l make up Campus., Four special editions will
be devoted to class pictures. During football, basket ball and baseball
seasons, pictures of the players will appear. All unit organizations will
receive their proportionate share from time to time. Pictures of ac¬
tivities from time to time will be used.
At the beginning of the school year each student will receive a
neat, decorated, leather binder at no extra cost. By inserting all of
his issues in this binder each student will have a current, living annual.
No offices will be abolished. The present business managership
and editorial staff of the Entre Nous will be retained for Campus.
The present Crimson set-up will remain the same.
The money that is spent for the Entre Nous will be given to
Campus. The essence of this proposal has been successfully carried
out by the University of Kansas. Advocates of the idea at Howard
are asking for a one year trial in order to prove the merits of the plan.
If at the end of that time the students are not satisfied with the results
they may change back to the old plan.
PROPOSAL NO. 2— Continue present set-up with the Entre
Nous. Quill and Crimson remaining as they are.
Newsmagazine Would Take
Place Of Yearbook -- Quill
Whether the Entre Nous and the Quill will be consolidated
into Campus Newsmagazine and published once a month along*
with three Crimsons or whether the Entre Nous will be main¬
tained as a separate publication is to be decided on Tuesday
when the student body votes on this heated issue.

With the election of May Queen
and the appointment of committees,
plans were being pushed this week
for the 1937 May Day festival on
the sixth day of next month.

was- selected by student body vote
to reign as queen of May. On the
royal throne with her will be these
maids: Martha Jule Blacksheur,
Phi Mu: Moll Scarbrough. Alpha
Delta Pi. and Rebecca Daily, Delta

W. C. A., under whose auspices
May Day is being planned, an
nounced these committees: Mar
garet Hendrix, '38, and Maxine
Teal, c'37, publicity; Virginia
Fisch. c'37. and Edith Glenn, c’38.

To Name Honor Students
From all four classes will be se¬
lected by a faculty committee a
group of outstanding students who
will have places in the honor court.
May Day with its pageantry and
beauty usually attracts many vis¬
itors to the campus. Classes will be
dismissed early in the morning and
a gay series of functions will take
place from then on.
isal in arousing discussions, the
consolidation idea has caused stu¬
dents to split in opinion. Some
think the Entre Nous should be
continued because “it is a tradition'*
and others say “every other college
has an annual, so Howard certainly
should.” Students campaigning for
the proposal argue that Campus
would embody all the material con¬
tained In the Entre Nous plus addi¬
tional material for the same price.

Prof. Paul Bales and others told

"We have been having the same

Burns added. "We'll continue' to

that "it is much better to have one
