An evening in February gave several co-eds the opportunity to compete for the title of Miss UNA RIENDLY m %e title of Miss UNA 1987 was given to Polly Gartman of Florence. Gartman, who is majoring in secondary educa- tion with an emphasis in French and history, sang You ' re Gonna Hear from Me in the talent competition. Even though she had pre- pared herself for a year, Gart- man still felt jittery. I was going to be in the pageant last year but I chick- sned out, she said. I didn ' t feel ready at all. Now I ' m glad waited. The first alternate was Vic- [oria Lynn Pike, a 21-year-old senior majoring in commercial nnusic and accounting. She Jang All at Once in the talent :ompetition. Second alternate was Car- nella Lynn Miley, an 18-year- 3ld freshman majoring in psy- hology. She performed a gym- lastic routine to Emmanuel n the talent competition. Third alternate and winner of the talent competition was Elizabeth Ruth Hill, a 24-year- old senior majoring in music education. She performed an original piano voice composi- tion cdled A Little Jazz Before You Go. Patti Elaine Cox, a 21 -year- old senior majoring in fashion merchandising, won the swim- suit competition. Judges for the Miss UNA pageant were Jim Hutto, dean of enrollment services at Troy State University; Patti Stanford, former Alabama Junior Miss and Miss Birmingham Southern College; and Mary Hunter, assistant director of admissions at Auburn University. Gartman said, Going out on stage the first time — the ini- tial shock — was probably the worst, but the interview with the judges was pretty scary, too. Not because the judges were mean, but I knew they might ask me some political questions that I couldn ' t answer. The host of the Miss UNA pageant was Charles Shaugh- nessy, better known as the unflappable Shane Donovan on the popular daytime drama Days of our Lives. Admiring fans brought their cameras to the pageant, and cameras flashed almost continuously. During brief intervals, Shaugh- nessy answered questions about himself. The University Stage Band performed an overture, and the Lionettes danced to Hallelujah (Get Happy) during the pageant. Miss UNA 1986 DeLon Smith presented the awards. 3- by Cherie Gamer and Fran Collier I was going to be in the pageant last year, but I chickened out 1 1 JOM WILSON perforais an emo- tional version of At This Moment during the talent competition.
