The girl judged Miss Victoria University in the Little Theatre on August 4th, will be New Zealand's first Campus Queen. University contests have not, before 1962, had any place in N.Z. Varsity calendars.

The Miss Victoria Contest, modestly modelled on the Miss Universe extravaganza, offers substantial cash prizes to successful entrants and their sponsoring clubs. Early entries total sixteen. Many more representing a wide range of sporting and cultural clubs, are expected before the July 27 closing date.

A preliminary parade of contestants will be a feature of the International Club's World Concert on August 3rd. The contest proper will be judged the next night, a Saturday.

The Miss Victoria quest, compered by a well-known radio personality, will run from 8.00 p.m. until 9.30. Tickets will then admit student spectators to a Cabaret Evening in the Common-Common Room. Spectacular floor shows will feature. A colourful demonstration of Thai boxing is included. Dancing until 2.00 a.m.

Arrangements are now being made for an extensive T.V., film and Press coverage of the Contest and Cabaret Evening.
