That ' s Entertainment ' ' was the theme of the 1988 Parade of Favorites. This year 11 lovely la- dies representing various cam- pus clubs and organizations competed for the honor of being crowned Miss P.O.F. 1988. For all of the contestants, the eve- ning marked the end of much preparation and anticipation. The 1988 P.O.F. was spon- sored by the Student Govern- ment Association and hosted by Larry Pemberton and Karen Win- ters. The show began with a song That ' s Entertainment , followed by the introduction of this year ' s contestants and their parents. This year ' s nine representa- tives were: Judy Clary (Sertoma); Stephanie Clemmons (Phi Kap- pa nu); Kelli Cross (Lee Singers); Sherry Daniels (Campus Choir); Lisa Frazier (Delta Zeta Tau); La- dona Qambill (Phi Beta Lamb- da); Melanie Kelly (Sophomore Class); Tracilynn Overton (Sig- ma Nu Sigma); Sheri Owens (La- dies of Lee); Debbie Schierbaum (Upsilon Xi); Debbie Wesson (Al- pha Gamma Chi). The talent competition dem- onstrated the creativity of the contestants through music and comic monologue. The im- promptu questions provided some insight into the contes- tants and the night was capped off with the evening gown com- petition. After a last walk by Miss P.O.F. 1987, Kathy Coleman, Miss Deb- bie Schierbaum was crowned Miss P.O.F. First runner-up was Miss Debbie Wesson and second runner-up went to Miss Sheri Ow- ens.

Campus News Magazine Dole Visits Lee Campus Elizabeth Dole, campaigning on behalf of her husband, spoke to Lee students and the community. Elizabeth Hanford Dole, Secretary of Transportation of the United States, paid a visit to Lee College on Feb. 23, 1988 as she cam- paigned for her husband and presidential hopeful, Senator Bob Dole. Mrs. Dole spoke before the crowded Brown Audito- rium for about half an hour, sharing both information about herself and the poli- cies of her husband, to Lee College students and facul- ty- The longest serving Sec- retary of Transportation since the Department was created in 1967, Mrs. Dole heads a department with 100,000 employees and a budget of approximately $28 billion. She sets policy direction for the nation ' s aviation, highway, railroad, mass transit and maritime resources, and is the first woman to head a branch of the armed services — the U.S. Coast Guard, a leader in the nation ' s drug inter- diction effort. The Dole campaign was just one of several who vis- ited the Lee College cam- pus encouraging students to participate in the upcom- ing presidential election. Representatives for the Pat Robertson campaign also made a stop at Lee in preparation for the Super Tuesday primaries. Lee Hires Tennis Coach The Lee College tennis team received a new boost of energy this season with the addition of new tennis coach, Mark Wickham. Thus far, the team has eigh- teen matches scheduled, with fourteen of them in the regular season. According to Wickham, the team has planned an Easter trip which will match up Lee with their best competition ever. They are raising mon- ey for their trip to Florida where they will be compet- ing against such NCAA teams as Florida Tech and Flager. Wickham states that this increased competition with larger colleges in more competitive divisions will benefit the Lee team and give them experience that they can certainly use later. Their major competition in the TVAC (Tennessee Val- ley Athletic Conference), in- cludes such schools as LMU and Carson-Newman. His description of his eight member team is that they are young, but they are extremely talented and fair- ly evenly matched. Among goals Wickham plans to at- tain in the implementation of a Fall tennis season to accompany their Spring season. This goal will be readily reached through the construction of the new tennis complex that will be built next year on campus. As for now, Lee plays all home tennis matches at the Family Life Center. Hopeful- ly, the construction of the new complex will bring ten- nis as a major spectator sport at Lee. Student Life • 147 A
