Miss Black Texas Tech Jeri Lyn Jones, a sophomore advertising major from Phoenix, was crowned Miss Black Texas Tech on April 27. Competing in Tech ' s eighth Miss Black Texas Tech contest, Jones will represent the Student Organiza- tion for Black Unity in a variety of campus and community activities next year. She will represent SOBU at homecoming and in the Miss Texas Tech pageant, explained Don Rof- fe, SOBU faculty adviser. He said three candidates com- peted for the title. The runners-up were freshman Felicia Furlough, a psychology major from Terrell, and Valencia Ellison, a freshman nutri- tion major from Pampa. I believe Jeri Lyn has some ob- vious strengths, said Roffe, but the one I think I was most impressed with is her communications skills. She speaks well, and during the pageant she did an outstanding oral interpretation (for the talent contest). Jones follows Angela Denise Davis of Amarillo as Miss Black Texas Tech. Roffe said Davis, a Tech graduate, now lives in Piano. Miss Black Texas Tech receives a $200 SOBU scholarship, and the runner-up receives a $100 scholar- ship from SOBU. Jones, the daughter of Mildred Jean Jones, lists dirtbike riding and swimming as two of her hobbies. — Sarah Luman Alan Andrews Alan Andrews Miss Black Texas Tech — 17

. 4 t eaxw STec i V At first. Sherri Moegle thought she had blown it. Moegle. one of 15 contestants in the Miss Texas Tech Pageant Feb. 14. thought her chances for winning the pageant were gone a week be- fore the pageant even started. The pageant itself sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi. the Society of Pro- fessional Journalists, consisted of casual wear and formal wear cate- gories. Personality interviews, however, were conducted a week before the pageant. Basically, the questions came straight from the res- umes we had turned in. ' said Moegle. The judges wanted to see how we planned to become career- conscious women. Moegle said some of the ques- tions were light-hearted — and when she gave an honest but light- hearted answer to one question, she thought her chances were doomed. The hypothetical question con- cerned Moegle s future as a mother and career woman. She was asked what she would do if her husband was out of town, her child was sick and she still had to go to work. Moegle thought for a moment and simply replied. Well. I guess Cal- gon can ' t take me away! Moegle was afraid her humorous answer might have angered the judges, but the opposite occurred. Moegle went on to win the pageant, saying afterward. I was very shocked. It was probably one of the biggest surprises of the year. I couldn ' t ask for anything better. Moegle, a 19-year-old freshman from Lubbock, was sponsored by the Residence Halls Association. Damie Cooper, a 19-year-old sophomore from San Marcos, was first runner-up. and Kerri Norman, a 21-year-old senior from Lubbock, was second runner-up. Cooper was sponsored by Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Norman was sponsored by Delta Delta Delta. — Camille Wheeler Cand - Mathers 16 — Miss Texas Tech
