(Continued Jnnn imifv 11) At 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the campus was treated to the Mr. and Ms. Iniversity contest. In only its second year as a Homecoming activity, the competition proved itself to be an important tradition on campus. The event was held in the Performance Center of the University Center and was filled to capacity as 18 women and 16 men represented their organiza tions. The contestants were judged on personal inter iew, cam- pus acti ities, inipromptu interview, and popular vote. For the popular vote category, the audience was able to pay $1.00 to vote for the contestant of their choice which gave a way for the audi- ence to become active in the selection process. The crowd watched as the participants were asked questions like If you were a SOAR counselor, what advice would you give incoming freshmen? and Why do you think college students smoke ciga- rettes ' Alpha Gamma Delta ' s nominee DeAnna Simms was named Ms. Iniversity and Wade Watkins, also a representative f)f Alpha Gamma Delta, was chosen as Mr. University.
