She was just (in) Seventeen

When the September issue of
Seventeen magazine came out,
Northern Arizona U. student Manelle
Hui Wilkes bought four copies. Not
because she was interested in morning
skin care or fashion on the urban frontier
— she wanted to see how she looked in
a national magazine.
Wilkes, a sophomore photography
major, was one of eight finalists chosen
from 40,000 women to compete in
Seventeen’s cover model contest
■ Seventeen flew all the finalists to New
York for the contest. Wilkes was told not
to bring any money because Seventeen
w'ould pick up all expenses.

“When you first get on stage it can he

imagine the high it is when you get some
big bids.”
But the junior accounting major said
when no one bids, “That is the most
embarrassing part. That is a real crush
ing experience."
T,J Meagher, also a junior, said the
women are fairly well-behaved during
the performances. “They’re usually
polite in terms of not laughing and gig
gling and pointing,” Meagher said. “As
long as they’re screaming you know
you're doing something right.”
The performance raised $1,100.

But even with an average of three
shows a week, accurately depicting a
live Beatles performance requires more
than acting naturally.
“There’s a tendency, after you’ve been
playing songs for a while, to play them
in your own style,” Benson said. But, he
said, “We’re constantly going back and
improving. (When people come to see
our shows), they’re paying to see the
Beatles.”
When 1964 hits the stage, they are
not just singing Beatles songs. The
musicians, to the best of their ability,
become the boys from Liverpool, and in
the process take us back to yesterday.

“John Lennon was the boss, in my
opinion. Everytime I needed a decision,
they always said, ‘We’ve got to ask
John,” Eubanks said.
The rock 'n' roll debate once reserved
for critics and fans is now receiving a
legitimizing boost in the academic com
munity. And there may be more to come
at USC. “We’re looking at rock ’n’ roll in
general,” says Richard Mcllvery. head of
the recording arts department "Were
developing something, but 1 don’t want
to let the cat out of the bag.”

Wilkes entered the contest because a
friend of hers entered and had an extra
application. She said it was a shock
when she found out she was a finalist. “1
never thought 1 would get that because
I'm not at all American-looking and
that's what the thing is for this particu

American.
Of the eight finalists, Wilkes was the
only one not already signed with a mod
eling agency. “That made me feel real
uncomfortable. I always thought this
contest was for ordinary neighborhood
girls."
