SOMETHING "NEW 1JNDE R THE SUN

The C,lueens of this and that ha•e lJecome u biquitoUL Couider the ones ad.ied eeeb J'e&r. One woaden what neJct.

Here U is. r(The idea in toto is that of Mr.

Htmter \Vh1tillc, of the College fac~ pity) .

The n•• queen shall be tbe "Ra~z­lberry'' Queen ; her oftlci&J title aha II be QtleeD ltauben:lmba. ], She shall 'be, it must be admitted, a burlesque of her diltlnetive ropi kin, but aa eucll .he shaD tie as genuine as tho .. less oqibial. But the ia not for per­pe:taatioa , please.

tl'rae, it will be a new deperture. Tbd: ia why t he space is here t.aketa !or the ll\I.U.U.

The idea is not originiLI- for ita like "has not beea. Its development has. however, taken more months thaD are in a ye..r.

lf you fear not the hypothetical, ben follows an attempt at eluc.idat­!og the plan:

The College--or some truly r ep­resentative organization tbereof -will be the spoN!Ior. The time will be ne,xt Ma~-. perlupa. The whole pro­C'edure will be worked out in minute detan. Y~a, it will be as precise a nd meticulou s as any ceremony o'( like ai:te or rua~o,--nitude. It will be flawless.

Yes, t!fwlc!l! b~i-le!que.

"Wh)•7" you may ask. And I sh:tll !tnswer. I shall tell

rou ... C(lmlitions arE" ripe for such a cer.

f'ruony. The E-tage is set. The ideo. 1aas bee11 bom of human thought, mo11ies. And love. of form and cer~­monies.. And lo ... r of ronn and cere-­•o.ny is as human u. is to err.

It ts. I insist, arginial-lnd this is something of which the pr o\·oea­tions themselves can not oboist.

lt i$ human: thue is no oft'e1u1e in-tende<l or soo.«ht. - • •

T.he .:ere.mony ~h:!.ll not aim at r e· .form : it sha.U!be for -£un.

The queen shall be none other than the FlR&'l' and the LAST Queen fbnbe..rurnb:l! • •

LOng Lh·e ;he .Qu:en!

But who is to s ponsor the festivi­ties!

Who shall constitute the impartial committee to select Her Royal Higb­neM!

Who s.b&ll dil'..., , tl>n selection of Oe princesses frotn the 'f'&r ious dubs on the campua'!

Who shall see tlra.t the whole aJ-· fair is flawleuly planned and exe­cuted!

Fnnkly, I dob 't at the momen t to know. '

from £u and wide. Please sen'.! to the Mercury the

Idea you have. Anything--everything - you think is .solicited. Jot down your idea, tbe.n send it to us.

Thank you in the name of Her .RoyJ1 HighneM, Queen Rauberumba I!
