Marilyn Monroe look By TED M. SICKLER Collegian Staff Writer Marilyn Monroe, in front of a cam era or live audience, captured the imagination of her fans in a way no other entertainer had before. Twenty five years after her death, Marilyn Monroe's spirit is still alive in the biographies, songs, movies and post ers that feature her. The Penn State Bookstore on Cam pus, however, held a look-alike con test during the last two weeks which sponsors hope emphasized the char acter and personality of Marilyn Monroe rather than her life in front of the camera. The remembrance re sulted from the publication of bio graphical books about Monroe by author Gloria Steinem and photogra pher Eve Arnold. Contest organizers asked appli cants to supply a photo in the spirit of Monroe's All-American girl image that was often overlooked on the screen. Elizabeth Wilson, head of advertis ing and promotions for the bookstore, said the aim of the contest was to "portray Marilyn Monroe as a person and not the symbol she has become." Contest winners were: first place, Michelle Tomlinson; second place, Debbie Santer; third place, Billie Jayne Wolf and fourth place, Cathy YACHAD Penn State Friends of Israel invites you to a CHOOG - BAYIT Dinner and Film on: New Archeological Discoveries In Israel Meet Sunday, Nov. 1, 4:30 at the HUB Desk R 283 Ski Park City Utah for Only $459 With the PSOC Alpine Ski Division Jan. 6-11 Trip Includes • Roundtrip Air Fair from Philly or Pittsburgh • 5 Nights Condominium Accommodations • 4 Day Lift Ticket & More. $2OO Deposit to Make Reservations Call Linda for Details 862-1097 Ski Sugarbush, Vermont With the P.S.O.C.

Contest prizes included a dinner for two at the Nittany Lion Inn, a copy of Eve Arnold's Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation, a Monroe coloring book and a Monroe calendar. The look-alike contest was held to draw attention to a special display of Monroe memorabilia including cal endars, posters and books that includ es new information about Monroe's personality. Wilson said the judges looked for an entry which portrayed the All-Ameri can girl closest, not necessarily the look. Wilson said the bookstore holds two or three promotional events a year. Wilson said Monroe's continuing popularity among American audi ences resulted from the depth of her persona and energy. This popularity, she contended, exists in older age groups. Wilson noted she has often heard the younger generations say Monroe is an imitation of Madonna or Mae West. She hoped the contest changed some of the current ideas regarding Monroe's image. Wilson said while Monroe created a style that has been duplicated by alike chosen here Michelle Tomlinson won first place in the Penn State Bookstore's Marilyn Monroe look•alike contest. many people, it wasn't her own.
