It's the same trick I used when I won the homecoming titie at I l^r* " Hqrrpll catH Harrell, an advertising and design major at the College of Journalism, was one of 46 contestants in the pageant. The 22-year-old Harrell also won the talent competition for a piano solo from the 1975 futuristic film, Rollarball.
