Uglies: Your Chance Is Here
Do you cringe each morning as you look into the mirror? Do your friends walk five steps ahead of you, or five behind, pretending that they don't know you?
You can find your place in life as a winner of KU's UMOC, or translated. The Ugliest Man on Campus Contest. The competition begins today and runs through April 21.
Any man, woman, or house mascot may enter this year's contest, according to Dick McLaughlin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and member of APO. Each living group will select one entrant, who will then be voted upon by the student body.
Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phil Omega, national service fraternity, is sponsoring the Ugly Man Contest, the annual attempt to find the most horrifying creature on campus. All profits will go to charity.
The voting will be determined by the amount of money in dollars and cents dropped into one-gallon jars beneath the pictures of the ugly candidates.
Voting will be held April 19-21 The deadline for entries is April 14.
After the individual candidates are chosen by their living groups, an 8x10 photograph must be submitted. Those interested in participating, should call M. Carl Brown at VI 3-9575, or see him at 1233 Oread. He can take a photograph of the candidate if one is needed.
A traveling surprise trophy will be awarded to the winner, and also approximately $25 in prizes from Lawrence merchants.
Any type of clothing, make-up, wigs, paint, false teeth and fangs may be used, but no masks are allowed. The candidates may also campaign on campus.
Ugliness will reap its award as the winner receives a frame for his diploma (Keeler's), bottles of cologne (Raney's and Cooper's Drugs), a surprise gift (Woolworth's), two stereo albums (Audiotronics), a Ray Charles album (Bell's), a road reflector (Stoneback's), and a $7 dress shirt (Diebold's).
During this year, the 300 chapters of Alpha Phi Omega across the nation have sponsored Ugly Man Contests in order to raise money for charities.
