By SUE GARFIELD
"Michigan has a beautiful cam-
pus, even in the hot weather,"
commented Ruth Hampton, Hol-
lywood star, in an interview on
campus today.
Miss Hampton was visiting the
University as part of a two-week
tour, preceeding the showing of
her latest picture, "Johnny Dark,"
at Michigan theaters.
Under the auspices of Univer-
sal-International Studios, she will
continue her tour this week to
Port Huron, Jackson, Lansing,
Saginaw and Muskegon. Before
coming to Ann Arbor, Miss Hamp-
ton was the guest of theaters in
Detroit and Toledo.
The actress also went on a tour
of the southern-central part of
the United States from January
to March of this year,,
Contest Winner
Miss Hampton has been win-
ning beauty contests since she
was a year' old and has a total
of 40 such titles, an average of
two each year of her life, the
largest number ever awarded an
American beauty.
She was runner-up in the Miss
Universe Beauty Pageant staged
in Long Beach in July, 1952, and
was signed with eight other con-
testants by Universal-Interna-
tional.
Miss Hampton was the first of
the group to be given a real act-
ing opportunity, being cast in the
Technicolor film, "Law and Or-
der," starring Ronald Reagan,
Dorothy Malone and Alex Nichol,
in September. Her favorite role so
far has been "working with Ron-
ald Reagan in 'Law and Order,'''
said Miss Hampton.
"First Love"
Miss Hampton completed high
school in Merchantville and at-
tended New Jersey State Teachers
College for six months, before
turning to her "first love," dra-
matics.
When she was 10, Miss Hamp-
ton began to take dancing les-
sons and at 16 she started with a
voice coach. She became prima
ballerina with a civic ballet group
and retained that position for
three years.
During those years she won
beauty contests regularly. Her list
of titles include "Most Beauti-
ful Baby," "Most Charming Child,"
"Miss Camera Queen," "Prettiest
Girl in School," and "Most Beau-
tiful Cover Girl."
"Miss New Jersey"
Finally, while she was working

International Center

have visited the International
Center and become acquainted
with the various activities of for-
eign students.
A popular item on the League
summer program will be the
weekly square dances, which will
be held on Monday evenings from
8 to 9:30 p.m. at the Women's

RUTH HAMPTON

as a model in New York and pos-
ing for magizine artists and pho-
tographers in her spare time, Miss
Hampton was entered in a con-
test to determine who was to be
Miss New Jersey in the Miss Uni-
verse Beauty Pageant. She was
chosen Miss New Jersey and came
close to being named Miss Uni-
verse in the finals at Long Beach.
Miss Hampton has appeared on
the covers of numerous national
magazines and on several radio
programs emanating from New
York.
Of Spanish-Irish decent, she
likes Italian food best of all. Miss
Hampton takes singing, dancing,
archery, golf and riding lessons
at the studio in Hollywood, but
still finds time to practice her
private dancing in spare moments.
Her next picture, which has not
yet been released, is "Ricochet
Romance," with Rudy Valley,
Marjorie Main and Chil Wills.
