 king at Hood College Hood College is a co-educational liberal arts college located in Frederick, Maryland. The college serves approximately 974 graduate students and another 1,274 undergraduate students [1].  February 18 was a great leap forward Great Leap Forward, 1957–60, Chinese economic plan aimed at revitalizing all sectors of the economy. Initiated by Mao Zedong, the plan emphasized decentralized, labor-intensive industrialization, typified by the construction of thousands of backyard steel  for her school. She beat three men for the crown. "It's cool that Hood allows people to be themselves," Jones told The Frederick News-Post. "lf people didn't want me to be king, they wouldn't have nominated me and voted for me."

But others at the Maryland school said her election made a joke of the event, and they are planning to review and possibly change the rules so that only men can be elected king. "We will look at what students want Hood's homecoming to be," said Donald Miller, Hood's student activities director.

Jones, a multisports athlete, member of the Student Government Association's executive board, and president of the gay student group Tolerance Education Acceptance, received 64 out of 164 votes cast. This was only the second homecoming for Hood, which was entirely a women's college until 1971.
