HEART QUEEN Vaien tine Girl Con test Has Male Competitors By BOB WHITFXY Oregon's latest contest, “The IJeal Valentine Girl” is really drawing the beauty of the cam pus. Already many names have been turned in to the judges, and the lucky winner will have her picture pul in one of the forthcom ing issues of Life magazine. According to various people connected with the contest, every thing was going along smoothly until late yesterday afternoon when a technicality in the con test nearly created a minor riot. Odd Choices Among those girls nominated, a now form of competition came into the central office when the names of Professors J. D. Barnett, head of the political science depart ment, and Norman Erstast Wiener, future barrister, were submitted to compete for the title. Technically they can’t compete for the title, but still again their names have been turned in. It’s a situation without precedent. It would prove highly embarrassing for a man to be the ideal valen tine girl. Wiener Surprised Professor Barnett, better known as Professor Barnett, was not to be found for bis views on this alarming situation, and could not be reached regarding a statement. Mr. Wiener, who can he reached at any time was more than happy to make a statement on this oddity of the campus. "Frankly, I’m quite undone,” Mr. Wiener stated in between briefs, "I had no idea that my name, among hundreds of other males, would be linked with Pro fessor Barnett's in representing the ideal what was it girl? It was a girl, wasn't it ? Personality Kid "I will have to rely solely upon my personality and known oomph, which 1 will disclose later, to bring in the votes,” Mr. Wiener contin ued, "and 1 will launch a barn storming campaign immediately. "In any situation such as this,” he concluded. "I can always count on my brothers from Fenton hall to bring me through victorious.” Shelton C. Ingle (Continued from Pane one) tains: Howard S.
