By CHUCK GLOMAN Famed cartoonist Al Capp, who judged the 1949 Amnicola Beauty Contest, will once again select a college beauty when he joins Bing Crosby, Kay Kyser, Milton Berle, Eddie Cantor, Horace Heidt, Fred Waring, Rudy Vallee and Ralph Edwards as a judge for the "Miss 1951 Esquire Calendar Girl" contest, sponsored on this campus by the Beacon. Capps' well-known comic strip 'Lil-Abner", followed in the United States by 27,000,000 readers, is one of the few "funnies" that depends on humorous incident rather than adventure for their appeal. The Connecticut-born cartoonist writes into "Lil-Abner" a friendly satire on people, customs and events in American life. Alfred Gerald Caplin (his real name) began his professional career when, at the age of 23, he was hired by the Associated Press to draw "Mr. Gilfeather", an already established comic strip.

In 1940, RKO Radio Pictures produced a feature motion picture version of "Lii Abner", written by Capp. He is expected to write the book for a Rogers-Hammerstein stage presentation of "Lii Abner" in the near future. Capp took time out from his many professional duties as a top- ranking cartoonist to select Wilkes coed Gwen Clifford, from a group of 25 others, as the Campus Queen and winller of the 1949 Amnicola Beauty Contest. © Ezq.,W.
