Miss Bison 18 Miss Bison Contest The Miss Bison Contest is quickly becoming an exciting tradition for Lipscomb’s home- coming. This year, six partici- pants competed for the honor of being the second Miss Bison: Jo Linda Bates (Joe Bohan- non), Ophelia Bunz (Dale Lawrence), Buffy Lo (Maury Mitchell), Monica Monroe (Donald Harz), Celeste Pend- lebrook (Brad Walden), and Beata Tusculum (Lance Per- ry). Brett Holladay hosted the contest as students sat outside Elam to watch the action. Each contestant was introduced and took her place on the stage. They did, however, have to show their intelligence in order to win. Each was asked an in- terview question and required to answer on the spot. While the Bison cheerlead- ers were selecting the winners, Adama Burnadette (Adam Burnette) came to make her fi- nal appearance as the reigning Miss Bison. When the results were announced, everyone knew that the interview ques- tion had made the difference. When asked what she wished for most, Celeste Pendlebrook replied, “ ... a date with Chris Cashwell, because he looks just like George Michael!’ — Shana Pounders photos by Bob Lawler

If you have a TV and an old hanger antenna, yo u might, just MIGHT, be able to pick up “DLU Digest,” a television show produced by Lipscomb students. Under the guidance of Dr. Bill Proctor, a handful of students compose this half- hour news cast. Through each week, reporters Flemming Bell and Sonya Zorn film stories or ask students questions for each week’s show. On Monday evening, the group gathers at 5:30 to discuss the week’s news and plan the show. The team then breaks to write the scripts, set up the equipment, and prepare their appearances. When everything has been finished, filming be- gins on the introductions to the stories and the news for the week. The show is usally co- hosted by Mark Fry and either Brandi Blaylock or Michelle DeClue. The show also has weather with Greg Corely, a sports segment with Sports In- formation Director Andy Lane, and a movie review with Melanie Sutton. The technical crew includes Randy Ham, Rich Kindall, and Glyna Malaer. Tuesday night the show is edited by producer Mike Men- ninger and the final product is broadcast on channels 10 and 61 Wednesday at 9:00 pm. Below, left: Melanie Sutton re- views this week’s movie.
