Trudge Queen . . Corinne Houser Shrdlu, the temperamental turtle, captured the Press Club trophy at the Turtle Trudge Trial Trot held in the Shack. Shrdlu sped three feet in 59 seconds, victorious over his larger and more aggressive rival, Slugline, who never budged from the starting post. The race, sponsored by the Press Club, was an elimination contest to choose an entry for the National Turtle Trudge at the University of Detroit on April 23rd. But Shrdlu never got his chance at big time competition. The contest was cancelled, and Shrdlu was returned along with the Press Club ' s entry picture of Corinne Houser as Queen of the Trudge. Male Press Club members had voted Corinne The Girl We ' d Most Like to Share a Shell With. Bookstore window promotion for the trudge Ready for the mail 29
