Use Your Cents--Makes Your Pennies Talk!
The Bullet is joining the Associated Collegiate Press and the Collegiate Digest in promoting the sale of War Bonds and Stamps on the college campus by sponsoring the NATIONAL BOND QUEEN CAMPAIGN here at Mary Washington. The contest runs for five weeks, beginning February 15 and ending March 19, 1943.
Nominations will be taken in the dining room Saturday night and students may be added to the list up until 5:00 p.m. Sunday night. (see Editor). The local candidates are to be nominated on the basis of beauty and popularity alone. The candidates may be nominated by any student or organized group or faction. Their class standing has nothing to do with the contest. (However Mary Washington College can combine beauty and brains in her Bond Queen!)
Students and faculty may vote for their candidate or their choice on or after February 15 and up to and including March 19, at the Stamp Booth at the time of a purchase of a stamp or bond. Each ten cent stamp entitles the purchaser to ten votes, each twenty-five stamp to twenty-five votes, etc. If you bought a bond that would entitle you to 1,875 votes and you could stuff the ballot box. The girl receiving the greatest number of votes at the end of the five weeks will be your Campus Bond Queen. In case of a tie, the Bullet staff will select the winner.
The winner here will have her picture sent to the Associated Collegiate Press and will be entered in the national contest. The semi-finalists in this group, five per cent of the total entries will be selected by a group of professional photographers on the basis of photogenic qualities. The Bond Queen will be selected from this field by the same judges and she will be presented with a $50.00 War Bond by the Associated Press and Collegiate Digest. Pictures of the semi-finalists will appear in Collegiate Digest and the Bond Queen will have her picture on the cover of Collegiate Digest the following issue. Be thinking who you want to nominate!
