MISS BARBARA" BERGEN of -Phi Mu
It must have been a photographer who years, ago
decreed that universities will have beauty contests . every
tv , io weeks or so.
And since more often •ithan not - finalists are
se t lected on the basis of their picture (what would be
mpre deceiving—retouching isi an artt), does this* not
destroyAhe basis of objective 'selection?
I .
Would an uriretouched picture-of each applicant's:
lett ear lobe be any less valid?
Lees analyze a typical case. Modest Suzy Feffen
scimicht who -fs current president of her sorority_, is
-,,u n derstandably reluctant about being nominated' to
represent,her group for Miss Penn State tryouts (Her
re:luctance stems from 2Y straight previous failures) but
St.;zyii' blessed with a striking face ... though totally
unehotogenic. Her singularlyi, handsome featUres may
rruire great concentration aril enormous efforts on the
/ Part of the photographer. Now suppose' Tom ) our
bearded protege, is diftrachid by the sight - of an un
wanted curl in his beard that morning. How could he be
.'eigsected to give all of his creativity to the needs of
SVzy.
Thus she ends up with a portrait whicl? looks like
her but not at all retemblig as Suzy looks to Stay.
And then there is the not sq beautiful girl who photo
giaphs magnificently' and would do - so evert if Tom
found Brillo in his beard. Not to"mention the miracle of
retouching, the misty, technique etc.
So the judges bearing;down towards the finalists
have to contend with amongst other things (not'to
niention the mood Hwy'," 'in). •
1. Was Tom's beard lying flat
2. Was our retoucher up to par
3. Is the girl phcitogenic
4. And finally and least important,
is the picture of the girl beautiful
And so, if we may beg yoUr further indulgence,
What about the girl herself? Hardly of any importance,
al least in becoming a finalist, but great for the Potts
ville Picayune her hometown newspaper::
So, the winner as selected from- the finalists .
you finish the'rest yoursilf. We have to start with the
SDT's. i .
By the way why not a biographical essay end .an
unretouched, snapshot fo'r the contest : . . unless you'd
rather not combine Brains and Beauty. Gloria Barton
had both.
Our next blurb will be an ode (or requiem) to
LA VIE .. . what it is and what it could be . if "its
board of directors doeSn't get to us first.
• It's - often been said (by a
,girt pinned to a Beta)
that the best looking men on campus are in Beta. Theta
Pi. A picture of their new pledge class is in our window
(along with new party; pix that you may better see
who was with who). Ypu be the judge. "
We will be ptiotographing fraternity pledge
dasses in both color and black and whitii next week.
Make your appointment now.
