Mr. MSU is not an official re- presentative of Murray State, but Waide hopes that will change in the future. l'm thankful that l've been able to have the title for a year, but l didn't do a whole lot, said Waide. Waide believes Mr. MSU should represent Murray State as a Student Ambassador does. Sisk was an excellent choice, said Plant. Anyone of the guys could've represented Murray State. Plant believed Sisk would be good publicity for the pageant as well as the University. Plant said that the pageant was more serious this year. She believed the participants were very appreciative of the work that was done and helped out in any way that they could. l hope we continue to have as much support as the past , said Plant. lt's a lot of work but a lot of fun.
