Poetry Press Announces
Competition
To all students interested in writ
ing poetry the National Poetry Press
announces its annual competition.
College students are invited to sub
mit poems which will be considered
for publication in the Annual Ari-
thology of College Poetry. The dead
line for the submission of work is
April 10. Every poem must be on a
separate sheet of paper. On each
entry the student is requested to
print or type her name, home ad
dress, and college address. If this is
not done the entree will be disquali
fied. Because space is limited in the
Anthology shorter poems will be
given more favorable consideration.

In a student election sponsored by
the Belles on February 16 Audrey
Wall, a senior here at St. Mary’s
and a resident of Raleigh, was chosen
out of six nominees as St. Mary s
1965 “best dressed girl on campus.”
As St. Mary’s best dressed girl
Audrey will contend with other con
testants from over two hundred and
fifty colleges in Glamour magazine’s
selection of the “Ten Best Dressed
College Girls in America.”
As St. Mary’s representative to
Glamour’s contest, Audrey will be
photographed in a typical campus
outfit, a daytime off-campus outfit
and a party dress. The photographs
will then be sent to the magazine
with the official entry form for the
national judging by a panel of Glam
our editors. They will select a group
of semi-finalists and from these the
ten winners will be chosen. The rest
of the semi-finalists will be honor
able mention winners. The top ten
will be photographed this spring for
the annual August College Issue of
Glamour, and will be flown to New
York in June as guests of the maga
zine. The honorable mention win
ners will be featured in a fall issue
of Glamour.
Kathy Astor Casey of Glamour ex
pressed the purpose of their contest:
“We feel the years when a young
woman is in college are the most
formative of her life. The education
she gets during these years should
mold her into a well-rounded, intel-
liaent, independent, interesting, at
tractive person. Through the contest
it is our hope to show that being
well-dressed and well-groomed is an
integral part of an education that de
velops the well-rounded mind.
We also hope to show that these
attributes are not a question of monp
or an expensit'e wardrobe. T ey ce
pend, rather, on the development o
good taste and an intelligent interest
in one’s appearance. We hope too to
make known our sincere interest in
all young college women by shoe
ing them how to enjoy their looks
without being preoccupied wLh
them ... and to impress upon them
that good looks, good grooming an
a mind are all important ‘o

with Glaviour. Glamour held its an
nual College Fashion Show starring
the “Ten Best Dressed" at Carnegie
Flail and presented the newest cam
pus fashions to an audience of more
than 1500 leading members of the
fashion industry. Variety was the key
word to the I'isit—from the Museum
of Modern Art to dinner aboard a
Chinese junk; from a tour of the
LInited Nations to a tour of a top
advertising agency; from cocktails at
the Regency Hotel to a wine-tasting
party aboard a boat circling Manhat
tan; from tea with Madame I lelena
Rubinstein in her penthouse to trips
behind the scenes of famous fashion
houses. The winners also received
gifts such as: watches from Sheffield;
Rugby sweaters; rings from Coro;
pewter tankards embellished with
their college crests from Dawson’s
English Pub; their choice of a coat
or suit from Finger and Rabiner. To
top it off each winner received a dif
ferent trip to some part of the globe
during the year to be featured in an
issue of Glamour.
The highest honor which can be
bestowed upon a college student at
St. Mary’s was received by four sen
iors Thursday night, February 25,
1965. The Circle, a secret and hon
orary society inducted Michelle Brat
ton, Chris Collester, Mary Ravenel,
and Lynn Wilson into the organiza
tion with a walk around campus at
midnight. The new members are
hidden in separate places and then
brought forward at the appointed
time to light their candles from the
torch of the president of the Circle,
Mary Stuart Dent. The entire group,
dressed in white hoods and robes,
forms an impressive sight as it sur
rounds the Circle Stone in front of
Holt Dormitory. The traditional
walk around campus was omitted.
The older members are Mary Stuart
Dent, Perry Crimes, Linda Con
nelly, Diane Ricks, Harriet Gilliam,
Mike Hill, Julia Anna Leigh, and
Carol Wilson. Michelle Bratton, a
resident of Raleigh, and a Day-Stu
dent, has served the Student Gov
ernment Association this year as
president of the L)ay-Students. In
this capacity, she has done a great
deal to try to bring the Day-Students
and boarding students closer togeth
er. She also acts as a Day-Student
Counselor and an advisor to the
Honor Board in cases concerning
Day-Students if the involved party
so desires.
