Top Coed, 1972

From the Spring 1972 Breakaway yearbook

 

This year the Top Coed on Campus award went to a married senior who is majoring in home economics. Linda Korolko was the winner.

 

The contest sponsored by Glamour magazine was held on February 29 and the 15 UNO contestants were judged among other things on leadership and scholarship.

 

“We were asked to model both a party dress and a sports outfit ad then the winner was announced. I was surprised, but my husband just couldn’t believe it,” said Ms. Korolko.

 

Ms. Korolko, who is 24 years old, possessed both the scholarship and leadership requirements. She has a 3.73 grade average, and was president of the Home Economics Club in 1970-71, Home Economics Club historian in 1969, Outstanding Student Teacher in 1971-72, National Home Economics Association scholarship winner in 1971, and a member of the Student Education Association.
