As KU's entry in the best dressed contest, Muff was selected from a field of 30 girls. She represented Gertrude Turtlese Pearson Hall in the University competition which was sponsored by the Associated Women Students' college fashion board.
The clothes which the girls were for the photographs were new fall fashions, many just out from under the sewing machines, Muff said.
THERE'S A QUALITY of poised but casual confidence about her that reminds one of Princess Grace of Monaco. Muff's features are similar to the American born princess, too.

MUFF ADMITTEDLY does not feel like a glamour girl today. She is in the midst of final examinations at KU.
Kansas can boast of one of 10 "Glamour" girls in the United States.
"The last three weeks when I should have been preparing for my finals, I've had to spend completing make-up."
WE'RE DELIGHTED TO TELL YOU THAT MARTHA YANKEY HAS BEEN NAMED ONE OF GLAMOUR'S TEN BEST DRESSED COLLEGE GIRLS FOR 1963. SHE'S AN OUTSTANDING YOUNG WOMAN AND WE COMMEND YOU AND THE COLLEGE FOR YOUR FINE SELECTION. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL
Editor's note: Martha Yankey, a 1966 KU graduate, was selected by Glamour magazine in 1983 as one of the 10 best-dressed college women in the country. Yankey spent four days traveling and sightseeing in Tokyo with Glamour staff along with a weeklong trip to New York City. The following are part of an article, accompanied by a photo spread, that was in the Kanas that spring, reporting on Yankee's selection.
For the preliminary New York trip, Muff had to miss one week of classes at the University. And she has paid the price for her short-lived career as a professional model.

New optics rid bifocals of stigma
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci would be proud of the latest breakthrough in vision correction, a brilliant combination of their respective concepts — bifocal spectacles and contact lenses
At about 45, most people find they have difficulty seeing clearly at near distances, particularly when reading small type. This condition, called presbyopia, is part of the aging process and is as inevitable as wrinkles.
With age, the muscles of the eye lose some of their flexibility and it becomes more difficult to focus properly on objects within two or three feet.
IT IS ESTIMATED that between 95
percent and 99 percent of everyone
45 percent
About 60 million people in the country now require bifocal correction, and of those, about 56 million wear bifocal glasses.
In the past, when people developed presbyopia, they had only the choice of wearing glasses or hard contact lenses. In recent months ago, that officially changed.
Ciba Vision Care, based in Atlanta, in June received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market a bifocal soft contact lens. Three other companies' bifocal lens have been approved by a FDA panel and are expected to receive final approval soon.
The other companies are Bausch and Lomb, Wessley-Jessen and Salvatory Inc.
OFFICIALS OF those four companies, through marketing research, think their market over the next few years will be 21 million people.
The main advantage of the bifocal lens is the "convenience of seeing," said Jack Melton, a clinical investigator for the bifocal lens and incoming president of the Heart of America Contact Lens Society.
The initial expense of a pair of bifocal contact lenses is a little higher than the average pair of eyeglasses, but the cost may cost less than glasses, Melton said.
The lenses cost between $425 and
$75, including professional services.

MELTON, WHO practices in Oklahoma City, joined hundreds of other optical professionals earlier this month at the Society's 22nd annual Congress at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The Congress, whose main topic was the bifocal lens, is considered the world's largest and oldest meeting of its type devoted exclusively to contact-lens education for professionals.
It is traumatic for most people when they are told they must wear bifocal glasses. Melton said.
With bifocal contact lenses, "people can see without the stigma of having bifocal glasses," Melton said.
