PAGE Two Walchli Says APhiCI Never Got Formal Plan Richard Walchli, president of Alpha Phi Omega, said the executive committee of the fraternity turned down a plan to have the Ugly Man Contest held prior to Pitt Weekend, but never received a formal recommendation from the Uni versity Student Centennial Committee. Albert Jordan, member of the Centennial Committee, said Tuesday that Alpha Phi Omega had turned down a recom mendation from his committee. Walchi said Jordan presented the plan to him last Thursday; it was not passed by Centennial Com mittee until Monday night. Walchli said the executive com mittee turned down the plan be cause they would lose a major, traditionally spring, activity; they would not have time to organize because of other projects like helping with Campus Chest; and because the Pitt game isn't usual ly held here. Walchli also explained that the Ugly Man Contest is a national contest, and therefore shouldn't be held Pitt Weekend. The Ugly Man Contest is en tirely independent of Spring Week. The Ugly Man committee for the past two years has worked with the Spring Week commit tee, but the contest is indepen dent and only takes recommenda tions from the Spring Week com mittee. Before the past few years, the contest was held in the spring either before or after Spring Week. Daniel Van Duyne, vice presi dent of Alpha Phi Omega, said that the proceeds of the contest do not necessarily go to Campus Chest, however most of the pro ceeds have gone to them in the past few years. He said the distribution of the funds is at the discretion of the chapter, and some of the money might go to local service projects or a convention fund. He added that they do plan to give most of it to Campus Chest. Voting for the Ugly Man is based on a popularity basis. Stu dents vote in_the form of pennies for their choice, casting as many votes as they choose. Of the can didates with the most pennies, the winner is selected from among the top seven by judges. Last year there were five judges. Walchli and Van Duyne said they would discuss the recom mendation by the Centennial Committee at the chapter meet ing of Alpha Phi Omega Monday night. Walchli and Van Duyne added that they were against having the Ugly Man Contest for Pitt Weekend. They said the chapter would also discuss the possibilities of co-. operating with the Centennial Committee for a unique contest for the Pitt Weekend. They added that plans are tentative. Van Duyne said that if a contest was organid, a money 'collection would probably not be the ob jective. He said the contest might involve a Pitt man.

You can get them in color, even though you've been told to wait 'til ten for color pic ture making. But—if you're pic ture taking very early in the morning—open your lens 3 or 4 stops more than for "average" subjects. The light early in the day is weak, and the bigger opening takes care of it. Those sunrises in the mist could be just as much fun as the string you'll bring home later in the day. Chimes to Meet Today Chimes, junior women's hat so ciety, will meet at 4 p.m. today, in Simmons' Walnut Lounge.

Group Votes Approval Of Half-Holiday Engineering Student Council became the sixth group to come out in favor of a half-holiday for the weekend of the Penn - Penn State football game. A motion favoring the half holiday was , passed at the coun cil meeting Tuesday night. By approving the recommendation, Engineering Student Council joined the West Halls Council, Agriculture Student Council, All- University Cabinet, Chem-Phys Student Council, and the Liberal Arts Student Council. The council also passed a- mo tion supporting the nroposed Cab inet substitution plan. The mo tion, which will be voted on by Cabinet at their meeting tonight, provides for hierarchy substitu tion in case a member of Cabinet is absent. If the president of an organization is absent from a Cabinet meeting, the substitution plan would enable the vice presi dent of the group to sit in on Cabinet. Engineering Council also voted to establish coffee hours on a trial basis. According to Donald Patterson, council secretary, this will be the first time in many years that the College of Engi nering and Architecture will hold coffee hours. BX Calls for Candidates The Student Book Exchange has issued a call for new third and fourth semester candidates. Interested students will meet at 7 tonight in 203 Willard. Campus .Chest Drive Will Begin Tuesday The Campus Chest will begin its four-day solicitations drive Tuesday with the designation card system, John Riggs, organization chairman, announced yesterday. The goal for this year's drive is $6OOO. Campus Chest is a combination of 12 national charities and the three campus religious organizations. For each con tribution, the student will sign his name and designate to which group or groups he wishes to give the money. The total receipts of Campus Chest last year were $4160.60. Solicitations, which netted the bulk of the proceeds, amounted to $4059.59. Groups Receiving Shares Organizations to receive a share of the Chest proceeds are World University Service, Penn State Student Scholarship Fund, Women's Student Government, Association Christmas Fun d, State College Welfare Fund, the Community Chest. American Red Cross, Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, American Cancer Society, National Scholar ship Service and 'Fund for Negro Students, American Heart Asso ciation, United Cerebral Palsy. Salvation Army, Centre County He ar t Association, University Christian Association, H illel Foundation, and Newman Club. Trophy to be Presented An engraved trophy w ill be presented to the fraternity and sorority with the highest percen tage and amount of contributions. In the past, these groups have proved to be the weakest source of contributions, Riggs said. The trophy is now on display in the Hetzel Union Building. Publicity will be handled by the Central Promotion Agency. Riggs said he hopes to cut publi city expenses down considerably this year because last year ex penses amounted to almost one . third of the total proceeds. Over 275 students are helping with the drive.
