You Oughta Be in Pictures

Last Tuesday evening, a taxi pulled up to the curb in front of the CRIMSON Building with Myrua Hansen Miss United States and runner-up to Miss Universc. Miss Brannon, Universal-International Studios press agent and travelling companion to Myrna, stepped out and told the driver to wait. He waited for two hours.

Myrna smiled as CRIMSON editors introduced themselves, and as she told how she won her title. "I had to parade in front of a million people, and wear a bathing suit, and a formal and walk along a promenade a mile long, and I had to give an extemporaneous speech. About states. You know, states I've been in Like that. And they took a million pictures."

To vote on the 27 Miss Radcliffe semi-finalists she worked out a code. After each contestant's name, she place either a minus sign, a plus sign, or a check mark. "I just made them up this minute," she explained with a smile, "so you won't read over my shoulder." Myrna turned to a contestant.
