Students Rock Against MS Some of the biggest stars of the rock world came to the O ' Connell Center for one night, or so it seemed. The event was Rock Alike ' 87, a rock star look-alike lip- synch contest. Organized by Students Against Multiple Sclerosis (SAMS), the contestants impersonated their favorite rock stars to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis. Rock Alikes were competing at over 250 college campuses and the cam- pus raising the most money would be the site of a concert to be broadcast on MTV. The regional Rock Alike winners would compete in a national lip-synch competi- tion. The contest was hosted by Greg Wynters of Rock 104 and co-hosted by Suzanne Rowe, UF ' s 1986 winner of Rock Alike. The winner of the evening was Mark Minck from Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Kappa. Mark portrayed Tom Cruise in the Danger Zone and in doing so did his part to help fight Multiple Scle- rosis. — Chris Hughes and Anne Marie Zecca 1) Representing the Purple Porpoise is Wonton John Gillooly as Otis Day singing Shout. 2) Helping to raise money to fight Multiple Sclero- sis, this Pi Beta Phi sister portrays one of The Ban- gles. 3) Two Pi Beta Phi sisters present their version of Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles.

An Evening With the I) H. Jerkins I was just doing the pageant to overcome stage-fright and to achieve self-confidence, Miss B.S.U. Pam Redfern admitted. The 1987 Miss Black Student Union pageant was entitled Ladies Of The 80 ' s In Control. On the evening of February 14, four women entered the University Auditorium not knowing which of them would leave with the title of Miss B.S.U. During the night ' s activities, the contestants competed in the traditional evening wear, talent, swimsuit, and question and answer categories. Sharon Riley, the 1986 Miss B.S.U., handed her crown to her successor Pam Redfern. Pam said, I wanted to cry, but I told myself no, I ' m not going to do that. Miss Redfern is a junior majoring in Computer Science. For her talent she performed a skit entitl ed Mary Had A Little Lamb. When asked about any final comments she would like to make, Pam shared these thoughts, I think it is a rewarding experience, and more women should get involved. Being in the pageant had a lot of positive points and Karen Miller (pageant director) made things run smoothly. The other winners were Diane Tucker, first runner-up, and Jan Williams, Miss Congeniality. — JoLynn Drake 1) The 1986 Miss B.S.U.
