Although the leaders in the Kan-san's Holiday Excursion Contest remained the same the race was growing hotter yesterday with several candidates sneaking up from behind.
Such things as the first television telephone, all synthetics, a peanut tube as small as a match stick but capable of generating 196,000 candlepower of light, will be demonstrated. Copies of Edison's first incandescent lamp and of Bell's first telephone will be shown.
Ray Evans, Phi Delta Theta, remained in the lead among the men, as did Miriam Bartlett, Pi Beta Phi, among the women.
A new candidate in the contest has jumped into sixth place among the men. He is Howard Rankin of Kappa Sigma, president of the senior class.

One of the features of the General Motors Preview of Progress to appear on the Hill Thursday and Friday of this week will be a television exhibit in which one of Mt. Oread's most beautiful brunettes will appear. Why a brunette instead of a blonde? Well, the answer is simple, though a bit discouraging to blondes the country over. Blonds just do not photog owl well over television. In fact y appear to
