Miller, Cantrell Win Pageant Title Butler University saw two Miss Butler pageants this year, as the 1980 pageant was traditionally held in March, and the 1981 pageant was re- scheduled for Fall, 1980. The 1981 event was held on Oct. 26, Parents Weekend, to attract parents. Emcee Frank Ricketts said. We also wanted to give Miss But- ler more time to prepare for the Miss Indiana pageant held in the summer, Ricketts added. The 1980 Miss Butler title was cap- tured by freshman Mona Miller, a fine arts major from Cincinnati, Ohio. She received a $200 scholarship and a Miss America trophy. Feeling talent was her strong point. Miller sang and danced through a Broadway medley. She was among the top ten finalists for the Miss Indiana Pageant. Also receiving trophies and $100 scholarships were first runner-up Kim Ernst of Alpha Chi Omega, and sec- ond runner-up Becky Rodman. The 1981 Miss Butler competition was won by Monica Cantrell, a fresh- man voice major from Indianapolis. Cantrell, winning over nine other contestants with a blues song, received a $250 scholarship from Jordan YMCA, a trophy, and roses. Sherri Morris, an arts administra- tion major from Frankfort, Ind., received a $150 scholarship and sec- ond runner-up Melissa Yokum, a dance major from Nashville Tenn., was awarded a $ 1 00 scholarship. Cantrell will sing again forjudges in the Miss Indiana pageant held in Michigan City, Ind.
