1986 Texas Tech Homecoming Queen Kris Moritz, a senior marketing major from Ar- lington, was the 1986 homecoming queen. Moritz said that in addi- tion to jogging she enjoys snow skiing in Ruidoso, N.M., and Winter Park, Colo. My favorite activity is shopping, she said. Moritz was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority and served as assistant pledge trainer. She also was involved in Raider Re- cruiters, the Finance Association and the Marketing Association. She said that upon graduation in December 1987, she is considering at- tending an advertising school in California. It ' s only a one-year school, and it ' s really hard to get accepted, she said. But I think it ' s worth it. Moritz said the ultimate goal in her life is to have a traditional-style clothing store in Dallas so she can be near her family. Not expecting to win the title of homecoming queen, Moritz said she was shocked when the announcer said her name. I really couldn ' t believe it, she said. It ' s like a dream come true. Moritz also was home- coming queen at Lamar High School and a semi- finalist in the Miss Texas Tech pageant in 1986. — Kay Hopkins Kevin Brinkley Designed by Tony Henleria Homecoming Queen — 15
