MISS UNA Amy Jones sings Superman for the talent portion of the pageant. Singing in the SOAR show, singing in many churches, and appearing at Leo ' s birthday party are Just some of the honors Amy has had as Miss UNA. Hard work before and after the pageant makes ' Miss UNA More than a title by Brenda Grisham Miss UNA is more than just a title; it ' s more than just a beauty contest. According to the contestants, it is an experience of a lifetime. Preparations for the pageant, sponsored by SAB and Regency Square Mall, began months in advance by the Student Activities Board and Dr. Daniel Leasure, dean of Student Af- fairs. While plans were discussed and ideas put together, the 17 contestants worked on poise, talent, aerobics, weight training, and current events. They began to look for the perfect evening gown, swimsuit, and costume. This year ' s pageant, known around the state as the best Miss Ala- bama preliminary, was entitled Salute to Ten because it was the tenth anni- versary pageant. Presiding over the event was master of ceremonies Jack Voorhies. Pam Battles, former Miss UNA, Miss Alabama 1983, and second run- ner up to Miss America 1983, was a special guest during the evening. Tra- cey Oliver, Miss UNA 1983, an- nounced the court and crowned the winner. Amy Beth Jones was named Miss UNA. As Miss UNA, she is a hostess for the Regency Square Mall where she does bridal shows, fashions shows, and various promotionals. The first runner up was Cissy Ash- ley, a junior from Killen majoring in com ' nercial music. She believes that the pageant makes a girl improve ev- ery aspect of herself. 1 learned a lot about myself, said Cissy, because I competed with myself and not other girls. Dedra Eastland was the second runner up. The most exciting part of the pageant to her was the nervous- ness, especially during the interview with the judges, and while waiting to perform her talent. It ' s something in which you just can ' t lose, said Dedra. You ' re a win- ner just by competing. Darnee Case, third runner up, is a senior broadcasting major from Flor- ence. She said that the pageant gave her more confidence and enabled her to have more direction in her life. You channel all your effort, said Darnee. You ' re trying to be the best you can be. But it doesn ' t just come from phys- ical attributes. It all boils down to what motivates you to do what you do. Lisa Rogers, a sophomore from Homewood majoring in broadcasting and public realtions, was the fourth runner up. She was pleased to know that placing in the pageant gave her recognition on campus with staff and students. Lisa said that it also enabled her to make new friends by getting to know girls that she had seen on campus but had never met. I was honored to get fourth run- ner up, Lisa said. The talent in the pageant was unreal. All the contestants agreed that there was a sense of warmth during the pageant, with contestants encouraging and supporting each other. Perhaps Amy Jones put it best when she said, In a pageant, winning isn ' t everything. To be a winner is an attitude, not an outcome. Patrick Hood SWIMSUIT COMPETITION WINNER and fourth runner up Lisa Rogers enjoys dancing, tennis, and snow skiing. She is the Student I Activities Board secretary, a Golden Girl, the assistant pledge train- er of Zeta Tau Alpha, and a Sigma Chi rush hostess.
