Thirty-Four Entries Received In Annual Ugly Man Contest Thirty-four entries have been received for the annual Ugly Man contest May 5 to 7, Alan Pomeroy, contest chairrhan, said yesterday. If an organization still wishes to enter a candidate, it may do so by contacting Pomeroy before Wednesday, he said. Entries will not be accepted at the Student Union desk. Last year 49 men participated in the contest. Robert Sherman, of Beta Sigma Rho, was the win ner with a money total of $112.23. The contest will be limited to graduating seniors this year as in the past. The voting will be con ducted with a penny-a-vote sys tem at a booth on the Mall. The final judging of the candi dates has been changed this year. In the past. the candidate with the most money at tl - 3e end -f the voting was tise wjnner. This spring five judges will select the radio sets can be resumed in the area within a few days. The crystal unit was ordered by WDFM to be used in stabilizing broadcasting frequency, Scott ex plained. He said the high pitch squeals. which have been interfer ing with reception have resulted from other stations broadcasting on the same frequency. Without stabilization of the transmitting equipment, changes in temperature, atmosphere and other factors can cause a slight variance from the exact broad casting frequency. If transponder tests with the crystal unit are successful, Scott said, the transponder will be re moved again, and others will be built from the same specifications. When these transponders are in stalled in other dormitories the station will reach a majority of students on campus. Scott said WDFM equipment is unique among that used by col lege and university stations, and therefore a considerable amount of testing and experimentation is necessary to achieve prop e r broadcasting effects. Work on the transmitting equip ment has been done entirely by students, Scott said. 5 to Compete In LA Council Office Elections Five students will compete in Liberal Arts .
