Who will be Miss Vic?
Who will be Miss Vic?
How Do Victoria beauties compare with those from other New Zealand universities? The answer will be found soon at Auckland.
A panel of judges including Mrs. J. Todd will choose Victoria's fairest three students early next month at a "Miss Victoria" contest organised by acting Public Relations Officer Doug White. Selection is to be based on personality and charm as well as physical beauty. Each of the other universities will also send three representatives, making a field of 21. Preliminary heats will be held at a cabaret evening when six girls will be chosen to take part in the final on the night of Tournament Ball.
As an incentive to attract talent, the Tournament committee has offered expensive prizes including hairdos and clothes. Contest controller Kevin Berry is confident that the contest will prove to be "the major event of Tournament." However he stresses that success is dependent on the selection of the most attractive girls from each university.
The "Miss Victoria" contest will be held on Wednesday August 3 in the Memorial Theatre.
