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.
