It happened this way: Robert Ackerman was due from Williston, January 28, aI Models Are Sought By Magazine Vogue ' Magazine, which has created some of the world's most famous fashion models, today an nounced in its February 1 issue that Vogue's editors and art di rectors are searching for a new face and. figure to present fashion to America-a new model, some one who hasn't appeared in na tional magazines before. The February 1 issue announces that this is a contest "for a new great mannequin to join the com pany of famous models who appear in Vogue's pages." The rules and entry blank appear in the Feb ruary 1 issue. Deadline for entries is midnight, March 1, 1966. The magazine is looking for someone whose personality and features, figure and way-of-wear ing clothes combine to meet the standard Vogue sets for the pres entation of fashion. According to the magazine, the editors are fre quently asked about the Vogue model-what it is that makes her a great fashion mannequin. "The answer is: not just beauty -in fact, she doesn't always have to be a beauty by conventional standards," Vogue says. "Not just a certain age-several of the all-time great models ranged from their late 'teens on into their forties. And not just a given set of measurements - although the range of measurements is limited." Vogue says that what is re quired of her is "individuality, freshness, variety, elegance-and the luck to be photogenic." Women wishing to enter Vogue's model contest must fill out the entry blank (or a reasonable fac simile) in the February 1 issue and send it in along with three photographs: a close-up of the face; a full-figure, from head to toe, in a dress; and a full-length figure in a bathing suit. Photo graphs must not be larger than 8" x 10" nor smaller than 2%4" x 2%4". Snapshots will do, but they must be recent. The contest rules printed in the magazine say that "preliminary _*- selection of at least six women will be made by the judges on the basis of the photographs sub mitted. These finalists will be brought to Newv York for one week at Vogue's expense. They will be phbotographed by Vogue photog raphers in clothes supplied by Vogue for that purpose. "The wvinner--the one model we are seeking--will be selected by the judges from the finalists on the basis of the professional photographs taken in New York." This woman will receive a three months' exclusive contract to pose lor' Vogue. She will be paid a retainer' fee of 5100 a week for the three months she is in New York, plus model fees at the regu lar' Vogue rate for beginners for modelling assignments performed. All finalists will be introduced to the leading model agencies. A ny woman over 18 years of age wvho has not modelled profes sionially in any national magazine is eligible to enter Vogue's model search, but the magazine says that anyone under 21 must have written c'onsent of her parents.

This er good for limited time Navy For To Marry Borden Writer Lo graduated in January, 1956, nission from Washington to to marry May Earline Morgan ew days after he received his NROTC commission and his Eng lish degree. However, he found that his commission was to be held up until some time in February and under Navy law no midshipman can marry until of commissioned rank. He was really in a fix, since the date for the wedding had been set and couldn't be put off. Transferred Candidacy The cause in the delay was due to the fact that he had transferred his candidacy for commission from the Navy to the Marine corps at midsemester of last term, which caused his application for commis sion to be delayed. Formal Senate confirmation for his commission has been held up due to impending and preceding legislation. Commissions cannot be approved by Senate until officially introduced by the committee. He advised Major A. S. Dooley, Marine officer instructor, of his predicament, and he requested the Professor of Naval Science to ask the Chief of the Bureau of Naval Personnel to waiver the restriction pertaining to marriage prior to commissioning. The Chief granted his request. First Granted When asked if this was the first waiver ever given by the Navy De partment, Major Dooley answered, "Yes, as far as we can determine." Mr. Ackerman was a member of the Clariosophic Literary Society, Phi Beta Kappa, recipient of the Norman Smith Scholarship and Al ston Scholarship of Ancient Lan guages. He was one of the graduating class of 1956 and one of the two graduates of the class of Naval Science. The other was Warren Leighton Griffin, also a Marine ROTC student. He was married to May Earline Morgan at 4:00 P. M., January 28, at Williston Methodist Church. He and his new bride are eagerly awaiting his commission and his appointment to active duty some time in- March.

The book is designed as a survey to assist the playgoer and also serves as a background for all formal theater courses. The authors have succeeded in fashioning a useful and interesting historical study of both the play house and the play. They have em phasized first the playhouse, and then the play, recognizing that the play is far ihore important than its physical vehicle. They have tried to tell as com plete a story as possible giving the reader the full picture of the de velopment of the theater. How ever, so brief an outline of 2600 years of theater history cannot Spring Semestc Dorms Filled 1 In spite of a building program which has added living quarters for 748 students, the University is crowded to capacity as registration for the spring semester hegins this week. Dormitories for both men and women are filled, according to Dr. W. H. Patterson, dean of adminis tration. New men's dormitories include a freshman center with a capacity of 220 and a men's residence hall quadrangle of seven units for 364. A new doi'mitory for first year women students houses 150 and re cent renovations to another resi dence hall for women provide addi tional space for 14. Living Space The University has housing fa cilities for a total of 2,295 stu dents, including 1,649 men, 450 women, and 196 married veterans. "The demand for rooms is much greater for the spring semester this year than it was a year ago," E. M. Henderson, housing director, says. "We have a waiting list of 150 students who have applied for space in the Carovet Apartments for married veterans and approxi mately 200 who want to live in the men's dormitories." Mrs. A. R.
