Carol Still, the KA sponsored candidate bestowed honors upon Kappa Alpha as she was selected ' 68 Homecoming Queen. The fraternity set a possible precedent at the University by bringing an alligator to the Florida State football game and christening the mascot as Albert 2. On the sports scene, sophomore Andy Owens was a stalwart in Tommy Bartlett ' s basketball five, and finished second in scoring for the team. Lynn Bloodworth proved to be a top defensive man and also showed slugging potential on the varsity baseball team. Pledge brother Hunter Bowen displayed his outstanding punting ability on the Baby Gators football team throughout the season. On the political scene, the KAs were on the legislative council by Brothers Mark Frost and Fred Dobbins. Brother Bruce Harlan was party whip for Forward Party during the presidential campaign. The fraternity was represented on the staff by Brother Ritchie Tidwell, who served as copy editor. A service project during the winter quarter to raise money for the March of Dimes was very successful, thanks to the efforts of many brothers and pledges. The socials and parties throughout the year were climaxed by the Old South weekend held late in the third quarter. King David and the Slaves, one of the top showbands in the southeast, provided entertainment for Plantation Ball. The Kappa Alpha Rose and her court ended their reign at the Plantation Ball. The outgoing court included KA Rose Donna Campbell, a Kappa Delta who was pinned to Brother Doug Swan, Francis Spoto, Delta Gamma; Janet Martin, Delta Delta Sandy McWilliams, Kappa Delta at Lenore- Rhyne; and Claudia Hart, Phi Mu at FSU.
