Campus Chest to Pick Ugly Man on Campus
Page 3
Two competitive events are planned to boost this year's Campus Chest drive to be held immediately preceding spring vacation, March 28-April4.
An Ugly Man on Campus (UMOC) contest will be held among organized men's living groups. All living groups will also compete for the trophy for donating the most money to Campus Chest.
About 40 per cent of the Campus Chest funds will be given to World University Service (WUS).
According to Vicki Allen, Hutchinson junior and secretary of the campus chest committee, WUS receives this amount because the committee believes WUS spends less on administrative functions than other service groups.
VOTES, IN THE form of money, will decide the winner of the UMOC contest. The contest is being sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, Boy Scout service fraternity.
Other organizations which will
receive Campus Chest support are the KU Travel Fund, the Tuberculosis, Heart and Multiple-Sclerosis Funds, and the Care Book Fund. More organizations are being considered.
Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor of finance, and L. C. Woodruff, dean of students, will speak at a kickoff meeting for solicitors, house representatives and others, March 28 in the Kansas Union.
Campus Chest is the only authorized KU money-raising campaign.
A CHART of daily results will be posted in the Information Booth. Alpha Phi Omega is building a treasure chest to be placed on top of the booth.
The Campus Chest committee, headed by Bob Cathey, Shawnee Mission junior, hopes to receive a better response to the drive this year. The drive was held two weeks before Christmas vacation last year, and netted about $3,000.
Striking Coal Miners Clash With Police Near Paris
PARIS—(UPI) —Striking French coal miners clashed with police today in the Lorraine village of Merlebach. It was the first outbreak of violence since the bitter strike of some 200,000 miners started March 1
The clash between strike pickets and a detachment of armed gendarmes took place about 2 p.m. at a crossing near the local mining administration buildings.
First reports said no one was injured seriously in the fighting.

THE PICKETS halted trucks which were taking employees of the mine administration to work. Police intervened to clear a path for the trucks and the miners tackled them with swinging fists.
The brawling broke out after workers in the French natural gas fields at Laco, which supply half the nation, voted to go on strike "indefinitely" to support the striking coal miners.
The trouble in Merlebach had been building up since morning when several hundred strikers gathered at the mine administration building.
REINFORCED GENDARMES surrounded the building to prevent the miners from attacking some employees who had gone back to work.
The miners, massed in front of the building, shouted "solidarity!" and sang the "Marseillaise," the French national anthem.
After a few minutes, the administrative employees walked out of the building to the cheers of the miners. Union leaders spoke with the miners and they dispersed without incident.
Merlebach, in the heart of the Lorraine coal fields near the German frontier, has been the center of action in the strike in which the miners have been defying a government requisition order which would virtually draft the miners back to their posts.
Jayhawker Queen Will Be Selected
Nominations for the 1963 Jayhawker Queen are coming in, and the ten finalists will probably be selected in the next two weeks. Tom Tatlock, Wichita junior and editor of the Jayhawker, said.
BLACKBURN, England — (UPI)—Mrs. Alice Renshaw didn't have enough money to buy coal so she decided to chop up an old chair for fuel. While she was chopping, a roll of bills totalling $1,166 fell out of the upholstery.
Old Chair Yields Money
Each woman's living group was asked to nominate one representative for queen. The large women's dormitories may nominate more, Tatlock said.
Each candidate must submit a list of her activities and her grade point average.
After the ten finalists are selected, probably by a faculty member, photographs of them will be sent to a celebrity, who will select the queen.
The judge has not yet been chosen. His identity is usually kept secret anyway, Tatlock said.
The second issue of the Jayhawker will be distributed at the end of next week, Tatlock said.

Has Interesting Sales Pitch
BOULTON, England — (UPI) — G. S. Duckworth, a local jeweler, is trying to sell 12,000 canned pearl-oysters to night club owners. Part of his sales pitch is that patrons would get a "hell of a thrill" by finding pearls in their oysters.
