CHERYL JOYCE Beauty Queenhood Being a college beauty queen isn't always dimples and sweet-smelling roses, says CHERYL JOYCE, 1981 Miss Glomerata. People sometimes get the impression that you're just really inconsiderate and think only of yourself, said the petite blond, describing student's reactions to her title. In a way, you develop a phobia and think 'Gosh, people think I'm just really terrible. They think I'm a vain personl' She illustrated the problem thusly: l was at a friend's house where this guy was playing cards. I made a statement and he said 'Oh, we can't argue with that, you're Miss Glom' and it really hurt my feelings. The ridicule did bother me, Ioyce admitted, but then on the other side, some people are so nice. It was a great honor, and I wouldn't give it back for the world. People who knew her didn't react t differently towards her when she became Miss Glom, Ioyce said. They wouldn't be friends if they did. Friendship is an important factor in my life, the 20-year-old said seriously. Truthfulness is the characteristic she most respects in a friend. A friend is someone who stands beside you through thick and thin, but also one who tries to understand you and doesn't always condone everything that you do, she said. loyce, a native of Huntsville, considers her family another major part of her life. Family and friends go hand in hand, she said, adding that that role too should not be a totally accepting one. Your parents love you and want the best for you, but they aren't going to condone everything that you do, she said. She says her parents exemplify that kind of support. My parents stand behind me in what I think I should do in my career, she said. Majoring in Museology, she analyses art from different cultures and hopes one day to become director of a museum. Having an uncommon major doesn't bother the blue-eyed junior. I'm really big on being yourself and not trying to be someone you're not, she said. With that philosophy, she says she feels at home in Auburn and can appreciate the down to earth sincerity she said she finds here. - Monique VanLandingham
