low students at the Nayasot
Bottom Academy, refused to be
lieve that the judges had dis-
jbalified her. As to the argu
ments set forth by those who
ousted her from the Vanity Fair
race, |he had an answer for each
of them.
She was connected with the Col
lege, she claimed. Her father, it
seems, was a janitor here for three
weeks in the year 1876. “Mah con-
nectshqn with this jh’yar school
goes hick to its very fust hegiri-
in\” sh|e boasted. j '
Furthermore, she said, there was
someone here to represent her.
“Some )mrt*uni critter by the name
o’ Mundoon er Munden er some
thing like thet has done accepted
mah invito for a escort," she sigh
ed.
And she scoiied at the idea of
her being a disgrace to the good
name of Vanity Fair. Hhe has, so
she said, been offered large sums
of money (f 10) from three large
corporations, Noxema, the N.MA
(National Morttiary Association)
and Burma Shave have all of
fered to buy her photographs for
use in their sdvertlsing cam
paigns.
| She clinched her argument by
maintaining that sho had follow»d
all the rules of the contest*; She
had even entered the three neces
sary photos—4 formal portrait, an
informal portrait, and a bust shot.
(The photos have been sent to the

last night. Members present agreed
that this was the best afrangemeht
in view of the problems brought

The majority of .the meeting
was devoted to a discupiion on the

Student Center. His projposal is to
run the Center as one unified busi
ness enterprise with the director
responsible to a governing; body
made up of representative mem
bers of the school.
It was suggested that about
eight students, three or;, four fac
ulty members, two or three for
mer students, and one or two fac
ulty wives be appointed to this
body. The govenrjng body or Sty-
