This was one of the dozens of questions Denise and other candidates answered last week as they met with judges at the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house on four consecutive nights. Representing Landon Hall, Denise met Monday with 65 other representatives from living units on- and off- campus. The following three nights, question and answer sessions were conducted by a panel of five judges who evaluated the girls on poise, personality, attractiveness, and sincerity. "They wanted to see whether you were being yourself or what you thought they expected you to be," Denise explained. Wednesday night the homecoming court was selected. These 10 girls then met individually with the judges. Denise recalled being asked which of the seven dwarfs she would choose to be. Naming Grumpy, she said she would like to help "someone who just needed people." Her own plans include helping handicapped and retarded children From one queen by music therapy. She is working toward a dual major in music and voice. At a luncheon Sunday, the queen and first runner-up Linda Petro, were announced. HOMECOMING The Pan-Hellenic Council, responsible for the queen selection committee, chose these judges as a random sampling of the most representative groups on campus: Tom Ebbley (cheerleading captain); Steve Piro (Varisty Club); Hal Buckner (chairman of ASMSU); John Juel (State News editor-in-chief); Ron Bames 1971 (Interfratemity Council); Ed Rueling (faculty advisor); Mr. Kinnney (alumni representative); and Brad VanPelt (varsity football player). Denise will give the welcoming speech at the alumni dinner this week and will be officially crowned queen of the campus during the half time intermission at the MSU-Iowa game Saturday. Attributing diminishing homecoming excitement over the past years to the large size of MSU, Denise hopes to see the university move closer together this weekend.

"I think it's the ^^^^^^hestud^reknown^ thing of the future. With good padding the surface is a great advantage." This is because there are no ruts or holes in which to turn an ankle and cleats can't catch in the ground. Tartan Turf, the brand used by MSU, consists of an asphalt base covered by a thin layer of Tartan surfacing, with a nylong pile "rug" on the top. It is weatherproof, and the only maintenance required is vacuuming and an occasional washing. Players appreciate that the uniform surface is faster and makes for quicker starts. Some complain, however, that the rubber-soled shoes wom on the artificial turf don't grip the turf when they cut, causing knee injuries. Robinson agrees, citing the large number of knee problems the Spartans incurred last year. He counters that thus far in the 1971 season there have been no such injuries. Robinson attributes this success to the new shoes worn by MSU players this year. The old-style shoes, except for small rubber cleats, had smooth soles. This year Head Coach Duffy Daugherty decided to swtich to a model with ripples on the front half of the sole for better traction. For games the players wear shoes with ripples on the heels, too. "We've avoided a lot of problems with these shoes," Robinson said. They also have thicker soles than the kind previously worn, thus receding the number of blisters caused by the intense heat reflected by the artificial turf on extremely hot days. Another possible reason for the absence of injuries this year is the good physical condition of the team. However, according to Robinson, the team's condition is always good, so this may not be a factor. The artificial turf has also created new problems for the players. The most common is the "rug burn" caused by rubbing against the turf. Another minor injury is strained ligaments in the joint of the big toe.

Alabama has returned to national prominence by installing it. Everyone seems to have at least a few formations in the wishbone. Duffy calls it the "now" offense. "The wishbone is predicated on speed," Duffy explained. "If it is executed properly, there is no possible way to defense it. The key is to have four backs who can run." There appear to be several keys to the wishbone. The quarterback spearheads it. The fullback can either make it or break it, and the halfbacks provide the long yardage. The undefensable "It's different than the veer offense that we had a few years ago," Daugherty further explained. "The veer was a tripleoption inboth the eyes of the offense and the defense. But the wishbone is a double option in the eyes of our offense and it must be respected as a triple option by the defense. "The major difference is that we know when the fullback will be getting the ball in the initial stages of the play and the defense ARTHUR TREACHER'S doesn't The defense must respect our fullback."
