Mtii nju One week before Homecoming, the competition for Miss Brigham Young University, 1980, began. After two days of interviews, talent and evening gown competitions, the field of hopeful queens was narrowed to 40. On the final eve- ning, 10 finalists, and later four atten- dants and queen were chosen. Despite a mess-up with the music tape which delayed her flamingo dance num- berfor15 minutes, Miss Lluvia Villalobos of Mexico danced her way into the he arts of the members of her audience with her warmth and charm and was chosen as BYU ' s Homecoming Queen. Miss Villalobos, a senior ma- joring in Dance, was sponsored by the Ballroom Dance Company. She said that she was very surprised that she had won and that, at first, she thought that a mistake had been made. She noted that she was the first woman from Mexico to win the contest and that, as such, she felt she had a great responsibility to up- hold the confidence placed in her. First attendant was Kimberly Jensen from Caldwell, ID; a sophomore, majoring in Communications. Sec- ond attendant was Jonelle Smith of Prescott, AZ; a senior in Vocal Performance. The third and fourth attendants were Tina Dubin from Bossier City, LA, and Kim King from Las Vegas, NV. Jill Taylor, a sen- ior from Newport Beach, CA, received the talent award. %
