A frond. Second prize went to Thelma Okuyama, with an intricately made purple lantenna lei. The tiny purple flowers were arranged in a neat round circle. Third was a dark Pink rose made by Jamsie Kuuipo Achong. · The most beautiful Green and White Lei was a tiny white-flowered mass of University of Hawaii grown buds made ingeniously by Janet Chock. This lei caught the eyes of the judges at once, with its white Berndt Contest Attracts Eleven Eleven students have signed up for the Berndt Extemporaneous con- test to be held Friday, May 9, at 2:10 p.m. in Hemenway ball.

Following through, were Mrs. Tsuyuko Mon- den of Teachers' C6llege ran sec- ond with a very rare KuKu No Kala flower, a light brown poky flower not unlike an unopened akulikuli with larger petals.

Danny said he didn't want to send his to "just any old con- test", so the UH's got it.

Marquand, H.J. Coolidge Honored by President Sinclair Dr. Harold J. Coolidge of the National Research Council and John P. Marquand, Pulitizer Prize winner, were honored at a special luncheon given by President Gregg M. Sinclair yesterday in the Regents' room, Hawaii hall. , F acuity members and representatives of the Bishop museum were present to discuss scientific research in the Pacific area. Dr. Coolidge is with the Pacific sci ence survey division of the coun- cil in Washington which is making an analyses of scientific research in the South Seas and Mandated Is- lands. Dr. Coolidge is also a mem- ber of the Institute of Pacific Rela-• tions. Mr. Marquand recently returned from an inspection tour with Ad- miral Louis Denfeld in the Pacific area, covering Guam, Truk, and other islands and atolls and China and J·apan. He wrote several arti- cles while on his whirlwind tour, "the first," he declared, "since I left the newspaper field in 1921. It was quite an experience. "I was most impressed by the beauty of Truk atoll. There were very few installations put in by the Japanese, although there were very many troops stationed there. Be- fore they left Truk, they dynamited all the fish in the lagoon." "Another thing that impressed me was the fact that the Japanese people seem much happier now than they did in 1935 when I was there. I made this ramark to General Mac· Arthur and he replied, "Why not? They have fewer taxes to worry about and they have certain indi- vidual liberties that have been ab- sent in Ja· pan for 1000 years." "China, on the other hand," he re- marked, "is in a bad way. She has reconstruction problems, civil war, and inflation to cope with. But I am amazed at the attitude of ·a num- ber of the Europeans in Peking. The Red Army is posed on the hills, the marines are leaving but the Europeans seem oblivious of the fact. A friend of mine said to me, "there are always bandits and war outside the walls, but - Peking is al- ways here. This is the only place in the world where I can lead a Annual ROTC Summer Camp June 21-Aug. 2 Twenty-five members of the ad- vanf:'.ed R.0.T.C. course will go to the annual summer camp which is being held this year at Ft. Lewis, Washington from June 21st to Au· gust 2nd. W· hile at camp, the men will have field training in regular army com- bat work and do practical problems. In the field the men will work with small arms such as the pistol, rifle and carbine, up to the largest in- fantry weapon, the 57mm rifle. . The Warrior of the Pacific trophy competition will be resumed at this camp. While in camp the men· will receive pay of the seventh grade. All transportation costs and expenses incurred,. other than per- sonal, will be paid for by the Army. The advanced course men that are going are: George Aoki, Shakin Asato, Harrison < Chong, Frank Dower, James Dowsett, Maurice Eum, Timothy Elum, Henry Giugni, Raymond Ho, Robert Katayama, Robert Kimura, Charles Lambert Robert Lee, Richard Lum, Majistad and James Mita. Richard Miyamoto, Henry Nacht- sheim Jr., Calvin Odo, Samuel Sasai Orvel Shonk, Clifton Song, Donald Sullivan, George Woods, and Wads- worth Lee. They will be acompanied by Maj. B. H. Lowry and T-Sgt. John Nick. This is the first summer camp to be held since the end of the war. gracious and civilized life." Mr. Marquand concluded, "The ironical question about Guam is whether or not she is going to be a great Gibralter. The harbor is quite small-and one atom bomb and poof." Rainbow Relay Queen Helen Geracimos, junior in the college of arts and sciences and former editor-in-chief of Ka Leo, was to reign over the Rainbow Re'lay festivities on May 17. She was selected by members of the vars-itr track squad and will be attended by the six Ka Palapola beauty queens, Pine Bowl queen Cissie Jensen, and Lei Queen Pearl Luning. (Plwto by I ames Mita)

Quasimodo's Pickle Barrel This w~ek Quasi has been re-
quested to w:rite up the results of a psychology quiz on human charac-· teristics, given to members of Mr. William Davenport's news editing class.
These characteristics are listed and given points . from one to ten according .to the person's opinion of their importance in influencing his life.
Twenty of the most highly _rated characteristics will be enumerated here, although there are actually 52 of them. According to Dr. Starch's national rating, the list is as fol-lows: appetite hunger 9.2, love of offspring 9.1, he a 1th, 9.0, sex attraction 8.9, parental affection 8.9, ambition 8.6, and .Pleasure, bodily comfort, possession, approval by others, gregariousness, taste, per-sonal appearance, safety, cleanli-ness, rest-sleep, home comfort, econ-omy, curiosity, and efficiency fol-lowing close behind.

The first 20 in the UH class re-sults are cleanliness 8.5, efficiency 8.5, ambition 8.0, cooperation, 7.9, with health, curiosity, personal ap-pearance, bodily c o m f o r t , taste, courtesy, devotion to others, hos-pitality, sympathy for others, ap-petite-hunger, style, pleasure, ap-proval by others, humor, home com-fort, and amusement.
The old Hawaiian idea of clean-liness heads the list for the kama-ainas as against the haole desire for satisfaction of appetite. Hard to see .the class preferring cleanli-ness to a good meal, must be trying to impress somebody.
Very sharp class, evidently, se-lecting general efficiency over love of offspring. ·of course, not having any offspring may have had some small influence on this choice. But when the kamaainas agree with the haoles on the pla_cement of ambition and a good joke, it's time to wind this up.

VANITY FAIR By Bessie Toishigawa
..• where the writer puts her two cents worth on campus .wheels ••• Ka Leo
Perhaps what should be the most ' con:veted postion on the Rainbow
campus went to Margaret Chinen, junior English major.
Close association with Miss Chi- . ?nen assures the writer that ·next year's Ka Leo is in good hands. She has come up through the ranks, earning her way in experience as reporter and in various editorial positions on the staff plus work with the Honolulu Star Bulletin, where she is a sort of protege' of Editor Riley Allen.
More need not be said of the new Ka Leo boss lady, she will prove her mettle in next term's Ka Leo . .
At this point, perhaps we should discuss the part Ka Leo editor-in-chief plays in the ASUH.
The student who holds the top key on Ka Leo, whether he rea:lizes it or not, holds the key to many things: It is in his power to sway campus opinion, and how he _wields that influence reveals his worth as an intellectu~lly and emotionally mature individual.
One former editor of Ka Leo ~xpres~ed the hope that someday the posiJ ion would hold such prestige and honor to inspire students to vie for the job without compensation.
It is an idealistic wish but the writer, too, joins jn agreement.
* * * Class Officers
It amuses the writer to view the seriousness with which class elec-tions are held. In all pomp and glory students are ele~ted to posi-tions of note, but what do class offi-cers actually accomplish?
The past freshman class, pre-sumably the largest in the history of the University of Hawaii, accom-plished one thing of note, an "Ideal Man" contest, reminiscent of affairs held in high school.
The tradition · of class officers should either be abolished, or those elected should make a feeble at-tempt to prove their worth, and this is not, particularly aimed at the freshman class alone.
