Miss Santa to Be Selected Dec. 7
Preparations are under way for the annual Miss Santa Contest sponsored by the Daily Kansan.
Application blanks will be sent to all sororites and to each floor of every women's dormitory during Thanksgiving vacation.
PICTURES will be taken by a professional photographer of each candidate in the Miss Santa costume. The costume consists of a short red coat trimmed in white fur and a Santa Claus hat.
Women who do not live in sororities and dormitories may enter the contest if they turn in a petition with 25 male signatures. Applications can be obtained in the Business Office of the Daily Kansan.
THE KANSAN BOARD will select five finalists from the photographs on Dec. 7. A committee of three faculty members will select Miss Santa.
Miss Santa will be awarded $50 to $100 worth of gifts from Lawrence merchants. She will also be guest of honor at the School of Journalism's Christmas Party on Dec. 15.

Giffin Says High School Debating Could Be Improved
The quality of high school debating could be improved if coaches were used as judges, asserts the head of the speech department.
In an open letter to Kansas high school debate coaches, Kim Giffin, professor of speech and drama, says that because of their training and experience in debate, coaches are better judges of tournaments than "experienced" laymen.
"They should also have superior knowledge about the current debate topic," he said.
"A combination of these factors would, in turn, provide a higher quality of performance on the part of the students."
He said he knew of only a few high school tournament debates in Kansas that are judged by high school coaches.
