been unemployed since graduation.
T mtoky-eight per cent of the men and 99 per cent of the women

community. He is a Mason, a mem

COLLEGIATE REVIEW
Goldfish gulpers and other collegians who seek the fame of nation
wkfe publicity bad batter look to their laurels, for they have a stiff
competitor JB Jack Mendelsohn. Callage of the City of New York
freshman.
Without the exhihitkmism that characterises tbs currant wave stf
gulping contests, Mendelsohn has achieved fame moat legitimately, hia
most recent victory being the winning of two first place* ia the photo
contest sponsored by Collegiate Digest and the Associated Collegiate
Prgps ia >which he competed with hundreds at collegiate camera artists.
His wieners were published recently in the Collegiate Digest Salon
Edition. I M ‘ t
Let s look at Mendelsohn's record: - ; J I
In 1967 he won the checker championship of New York City.
In three consecutive years, beginning in 1966, he wen a pack at
pnd cups as th* champtoa harmonica player in New York
With his camera he has won many salon prise*, moat notable at
which eras in a contest sponsored by the Museum of Natural History.
Which is a pretty fair start in this contest business for one who ia
only a college freshman!

last Thursday to Edwin J. Kiest,
