., M 14,5 QW ilws 1 IP RDI GRAS GALA he 8th annual Mardi Gras Gala, held on Thursday, February 14, captured all of the anything-goes excitement of Mardi Gras in a romantic Valentine's Day setting. Sponsored by the Residence Hall Associ- ation, the festive event was geared toward students living on campus. A shuttle service was provided to the Hattiesburg Community Center, which was decorated with large red hearts, each representing a residence hall or RHA cabinet member. Free beer, soft drinks, Mardi Gras beads and doubloons, and University of Budweiser cups were the evening's giveaways. T-Mac provided dance music, playing their own popular originals as well as a variety of other artists' songs. A king and queen were selected by the crowd by secret ballot. Kirk Edmunds, a resident of Hattiesburg Hall, was crowned king, and Cin- dy King, a resident of Hickman Hall, was chosen queen. Each received a Budweiser Y jacket and a boutonniere and corsage, re- spectively. The costumes worn to the gala ranged from new wave versions of traditional sequined Mardi Gras garb to frilly red formals. Brenda Smith, dressed as Brenda the Barbarian, was awarded the prize for best costume via crowd approval. She, too, received a Bud- weiser jacket. Karen Godail , Mardi Gras Gala 25
