How does a minister feel when
his daughter wins a beauty contest?
"Well!" was his major comment,
but Miss Libby McDowell who
Thursday night was named Miss
Chapel Hill in the annual beauty
pageant, states that her father's
face better expressed his happiness
and pride.
"1 think it is just wonderful,''
laughed Miss McDowell and added
that she was "very surprised" She
has previously been a candidate
for the Yack Beauty Court, Blue
White Queen, Duke Parade Queen,
and Maid of Cotton. "I haven't ever
won any contests before, though,"
she stated.

McDowell. According to Tom John
sonthey felt that she had al! the
winning qualities 'of character, ta
lent, personality, beauty, and cul
ture.' "She is a great favorite of
the fraternity," added Johnson.
TO STUDY MUSIC
For her talent presentation Miss
McDowell sang "One Fine Day"
from the opera "Madam Butterfly."
She plans to use her $200 scholar
ship to do graduate study in mu
sic and has indefinite plans for a
singing career, preferring classical
music to popular.
The judges asked each contestant
how they thought they would most
benefit if they were named Miss
Chapel Hill and what qualities they
felt a girl should have to be chosen
Miss America. Jv
"In answer to the first, Miss Mc
Dowell said she felt one "interest
ed in entertaining in public always
benefits from public appearances.".
It is also good in developing poise,"
she added. .
Character, talent, poise, dignity,
and beauty were the qualities she
cited as necessary for a Miss Amer
ica. Before coming to the University
she attended Furman where she
was the yearbook beauty, z member
of the May Court, and an ROTC
sponsor.
A senior major in English, Miss
McDowell lives in Wake Forest,

kins, who is a member of Kappa

felt she had benefited already from

that the experience itself had
"spurred on her ambition to try
put for a modeling career." Her
mother was once a fashion model
in Paris.
. Mrs. Kay Kyser, the former Geor
gia Carol, coached Miss Adkjns for

The recently-proposed class cut attendance policy pass
ed by the student Legislature yesterday failed to go through.
' A special faculty coihmittee, appointed by the Faculty
Council to study the bill, recommended to the Council that
the measure not be passed.
-The committee, in stating its reason for not recommend
ing passage of the policy, said "the use of quality point de
ductions as penalties for excessive absences" is ". . . academ
ically unsound."
The policy as passed by the student Legislature called
for unlimited cuts for juniors and seniors with a loss of one
quality point per cut for unexcused absences two days be
fore and, after regular holidays.
Instructors, however, had the right to drop students from
class for excessive cuts which would harm the class or the
student himself. .

This project is concerned with
