Turtle Enters
Indoor Race
For Salemites
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1 — The
stands here are empty now. The
sound and the fury of 51 hard
shells scraping the wooden ramp in
the granddaddy of all turtle races
has died.
But . somewhere in Washington,
yesterday’s competitors are today’s
pets and have slipped back into
their long winter’s sleep, and pretty
Libby Lineberger from Chicago can
one day tell her grandchildren that
back in 1965 she was Miss Turtle
International.
Students at American University
are still talking about how Goy,
AU’s favorite son, held off a last-
minute rally by Vassar’s tiny Matty
and charged across the finish line
in 58 seconds, hardly winded by
his 35-foot romp to the winner’s
circle.
It was a day to remember—last
Friday afternoon—as Washington’s
press corps turned out en masse
for the grand prix of indoor turtle
racing. Television cameras whir
red ; radio announcers caught the
excitement of the race on tape; re
porters tried out their turtles in
interviews, and pretty AU cheer
leaders whooped it up for photo
graphers all along the racing ramp.
When the last turtle had wearily
trudged across the finish line, it
was the Muscular Dystrophy Re
search Fund which came away the
big winner. Proceeds from the
race, annually donated to the fund,
were estimated at well over $400.
The order of finish; (Top 5)
1. American University
2. Vassar College
3. Simmons College
4. Colgate University
5. Florida State University
21. Salem College
Among colleges and universities
w hose turtles finished, went to
sleep at the starting gate, or were
cleared off the track to make way
for the next heat were University
of North Carolina and Greensboro
College.

The deadline for applications for
the Federal Service Entrance Ex

Classes Compete In Ugly Man Contest,
Freshmen Lead With Large Contribution
Marti Ross
Dianne Morton
Eleanor Lauck
Vicki Hanks
By Eloise VanSnoot MacDuFlop
In direct opposition to the re
cently conducted contest to find the
Best Dressed Girl on campus, the
freshman class is sponsoring the
Ugly Man Contest.
How did it all get started? Well,
the freshman class checked around
campus and in a few old annuals
of various schools to get new ideas
for raising money for the World
University Service. This contest,
which is sponsored on a wide scale
at both UNC and Wake Forest,
was totally unique on the Salem
campus. They decided to set a
precedent.
Under the leadership of Lynn
Frazer, each class selected a rep
resentative as its Ugly Man. (No
insult intended.) The four girls
are freshman Vicki Hanks, sopho
more Eleanor Lauck, junior Diane
Morton, and senior Marti Ross.
With plentiful help (?) from their
classmates, these candidates dis
arranged themselves in every way
possible to make themselves ugly.
Often the trouble they took in ar
riving at the final result was fright
ful.
For instance, Diane Morton put
Vaseline in her hair. She washed
her hair 21 times that night with
such products as Lustre Creme,
Breck for oily hair, a bottle of
alcohol, one-half a bottle of Lux
Liquid, and powder. After three
hours of washing, she gave up and
went to the beauty parlor the next
day. Surprisingly, she spent only
the normal time and money there,
but the beautician washed her hair
three times, using a quart bottle of
shampoo. Silk Rinse with peroxide,
and a quart of lemon juice.
In addition to styling her hair,
Diane chose long underwear tops
under a black taffeta street length
dress with a converted square neck
line and a full, gathered skirt. Her
accessories included a red scarf tied
around her neck, a charm bracelet
worn on her ankle, a white wool
shawl, and a rose in the proper
place. Two tennis balls at waist
level complimented her outfit. Her
knee socks were worn one up, and
one rolled down to offset her anti
que shoes—one black suede, size
4y2, and one brown oxford heel,
size To top off her costume,
Diane wore a feather in her nose
and leaves in her hair.
Eleanor Lauck chose to wear a
sweatshirt-skirt ensemble consist
ing of a blue cotton top with a
V-neck and short sleeves rolled up
and a beige, red, and black plaid
wool skirt. Her loose stockings
hung over her black and white
fruit boots. She wore her hair in
wet tangles and spread Merle Nor-
ihan Mircol on one side of her
face, which was accented by her
glasses and gap tooth.
Eleanor’s costume is so versatile
that she would be at home any
where. She carried a UNC pennet
in one hand and a cigarette holder
in the other hand, on which she
wore a black kid glove. From her
right underarm she hung a brown
switch.
Vicki Hanks wore a peasant’s
smock with a black glove coming
A Senior Life Saving class for

from her V-neckline. She had a
Cyclops eye painted on her fore
head and dark circles under her
other eyes. To complete her out
fit, Vicki wore four long white
fangs descending from the upper
lip and fashionably ratted hair.
The last contestant, Marti Ross,
modeled a plaid bathrobe and no
shoes. Her Bare Beige lipstick
smile, generously spread, revealed
three or four gaps in her upper
front teeth. In her hair, styled in
piglets, Marti wore a lovely white
rhinestone brooch. Her ivory skin
w'as offset by tremedous black
freckles all over her face. Her
seven-inch long neck was accented
by several pop bead chokers and
magnetic clip-on white plastic
daisies on her ears.
Although the contestants ou4
ted themselves with enthusiasm, H
contest itself has gone ratlt
slowly. Votes are made by doti
tions of any denomination. So
the freshman class is leading ■
a total of $12.25. The sophomors
have only fifty cents and the ji
iors, a nickel less. The seniors
lagging with thirteen cents J
nated for their candidate.
The contest will be conchii
