Q Arkalalah brings color to campus Crowning o queen, building a prizerwinning float, and marching in the three-hour parade are all part of any Arkalalah celebration but this year the addition of the I0 kilometer race made Arkalalah unique. At least five Cowley County students and in- structors participated in the first Run for those who can't. The run was sponsored by the Jaycees and proceeds went to a day care center for the handicapped. One student, sophomore Sandra Seivley, was the last to cross the finish line of the 6.2 mile race but she still took second in her division. l made it, was all Seivley could say as she caught her breath. Seivley wasn't the only one who made it big at Arkalalah.Sophomore Jan Call, Cedar Vale,was crowned Queen Alalah XLVilI during Friday night's ceremony and then reigned over Satur- day's parade. More than 70,000 people came to Arkansas City for Saturday's activities but Call wasn't alone in the crowd. In addition to her family and friends who were in the crowd, the IO semi-finalists from the college rode with her on floats. Finalists on the queen's float included Sharon Johnson, Sherry Palmer and Tammy Thresher, all from Arkansas City, and Ruth Wheeler from Ox' ford. Semi-finalists rode on a float provided by Newman's Dry Goods and included Melody Hearne, Arkansas City, Kim Pappan, Winfield, Nancy Mackey, Burden, Pam Marker, Dexter, and Jill Stinson, Udall. But for most students, Arkalalah was a time to work behind the scenes and observe from the sidelines. Members of the Student Government Association QSGAJ spent the last hours before the parade putting the finishing touches on the col lege's float which took a second place prize in the school division. In keeping with A review of the '7Os, the Arkalalah theme, several students rode on the float depicting disco-dancers, the ERA movement, the Vietnam war, and the Bi-centennial celebra-V tion. The college was also represented in the parade by homecoming queen Sara Martin who rode on a float of her own. LEFT AND CLOCKWISE: Queen Alalah XLVII, .lan Call, reigns over the Arkalalah parade.

Q 5 Winter homecomingza good night The ecstasy of the crowd after the women's 67-41 victory over the Kansas City Blue Devils and the forseen strong win in men's competition came to a halftime hush as five homecoming hopefuls were escorted to mid-court for the 1980 winter homecoming Coronation. The anticipation of the nervous women was felt through 'the better-than-average crowd during the introductions of the candidates. Then Sharon Johnson, SGA president, placed the crown on freshman Jackie Wilson's head. I was real surprised. I didn't think I had much of a chance being a freshman, said Wilson from An- derson, Indiana. Earlier that evening, Jackie had played a strong game against the women Blue Devils and was responsible for 8 of Cowley's 67 points. The only reminder than that she was a queen can- didate were the uncombed curls she held out of her eyes with an orange sweat band. Jackie and her court of Kathy Kelling, Pam I8 WINTER HOMECOMING Marker, Kim Pappan and Sherry Palmer sat the second half in seats of royalty and cheered the men to a 98-78 victory over Kansas City. There was a full house at the traditional dance following the game as disc l iockey Napoleon Stanley captivated the crowd with anything from Michael Jackson and Donna Summer to Willie and Waylon. I iust danced the whole time. The DJ was real good, said CCCC cheerleader, Vicki Robertson. Unlike a lot of dances, winter homecoming im- proved as the night wore on. The dance got more exciting as the evening progressed, Rena Wilson said. lt started going real good about 12 midnight. People were still coming in when the DJ played his last songs. It looked like everyone was having a good time, a real good time, sophomore Sue Thoma said. We didn't get there until 12:30. After we got there we had a real good time. .1-1' an .
