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.

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.

Book Review
Playgoer's
'Handbook'
Is Published
Kenneth Macgowan and William
Melnitz, professors of Theater
Arts at the University of Cali
fornia, have recently published a
reference b o o k, "The Living
Stage," to meet a need in both
popular and textbook literature.
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
