Demon Zaps Kappa Sigma, T ri-Delta To First Place By Alison McCall What do you get when you cross a Knoxville-ania transvestite with an angel in the afterworld, and a sheriff named Skip-A-Long Chastity'?', It's not hard to guess, it's Carnicus '85, the two- night gala at Alumni Gym that brings the All Camps Events Committee's program- ming to a close for the year. Footlights, Follies, and Fancy Feet- work', was the theme for the committeeis presentation of Carnicus, which seems to be the biggest attraction of spring quarter in the Greek scene. The emcees for the two nights, Dale Templeton, Chairman for ACE, and Hol- ly McCall, Co-Chairwoman, announced the three teams of Kappa Sigma fraternity--Delta Delta Delta sorority, the on Carnicus nightf' The duet number 'Only You by McCallen and Norris brought applause from family and friends. During Long Live John,', a melody from Godspell, McCallen donned a white tuxedo, and the coed group of ac- tors and dancers finished their half-hour production with I Would Due for You, and naturally Baby, You're a Star!', The all-male for was it?J presentation of the fellas from Sigma Alpha Epislon, second overall and first in the singles divi- sion, brought some of that old brash humor of Carnicus tradition to the stage with Smoking Pistols,', featuring Jamie Denton as the villainous Dead Eye Dick, and Jeff Siewart as Skip-Along- Chastity who won the hearts and laughter of the audience with his blonde hair and dirty jokes. With his own version of I Got Spurs that Jingle Jangle Jingle, Chastity CSiewartJ also won the close affection of Miss Cowpatti, Matt Anglin, who had the courage, like many of the other fifty- to-sixty SAE's to don a wig and a satin dress. When the mayor, Tom Highley, jumped over backwards and then asked who would defend the town, Chastity, soon to be the next sheriff, met up with the swiniest villain in a shootout at the Chi-O-Corral. Dead Eye will never rise in this town, lisped Siewart, and the male voices of the SAE's chorused a finale with a tune from Oklahoma,' and Happy solo group of Sigma Alpha Epsilon frater- nity and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, Alpha Delta Pi sorority as the top three winners in the eight near Broadway shows. The Kappa Sigma and Tri-Deltas had a first place act in the overall and mixed categories, with Baby I'm a Star. The almost 100 member group opened with Bye-Bye Love, giving the audience a psychedelic look of the twinkling stars of the afterworld. Mark McCallen, as John Goodheart, still a living person, must choose between the darkside or to live forever with Starlight. John Zadick, the demon in red satin and high top tennis shoes, said Shoobee-dooey, shoo-bee, you can be like me, and the and Kappa Sigma men said that by choosing his way would be like 'tGrease Lightnin' . As a good story would have it, Goodheart chose Starlight. Ashley Norris soon discovered that he needed the demon as much as much as a DZ needs a FIJI f Tom McNutt Tom lVlcNutt

SPE Transvestitei' Gives VXA Third Stright ACE Trophy Trails to you. Centered around the humor of The Rocky Horror Picture Show was the Lambda Chi and Alpha Delta Pi rendition of Rocky Top Horror Picture Show, or Frankie Goes to Knoxville. This group placed second in mixed category and third overall. With a spooky man- sion for a backdrop, the quacky quartet, --Bob Burns, Marcy Shelton, Ed Nichols, and Lucille Hanks, meet up with the outrageous Randall Oakley who is none other than the SPE transvestite, Franken- furter, who is working on a new dribbling recruit for Don DeVoe Ueff Smithl. Meanwhile, the mixed group sing and dance to Rocky Top, Rocky Top Ter- ror... and even do the 'pelvic thrust' to the Time Warp, under the direction of Andrea Easeley as the maid, and David Butler as Igor. How do we know the conditions are right, Masterj' asked Igor of Franken- furter, then dressed in pearls and a pink dropped waist dress. Julie Watson, as TV's Margie Ison, gives a sexy prediction of sin. Alas, Frankenfurter must take the blame to the tune of the Ghost Busters song when we create a basketball instead of a player. But that's okay, because, after he looses the UT game to the Ken- tucky Wildcats, Tom Carpenter sings, I Am--What I Am, and Frankenfurter dressed in yellow, dances with the girls, all's fine in Knoxville-ania. Also to win the mixed category Cthird placel was the duo of Sigma Pi Epsilon and their female side-kicks, the Kappa Delta's, who presented UT Barnum's Circus Extravaganza or She Bops to the Big Top . This circus musical featured a Cindy Lauper look-alike, Marla Murrah, a 10 foot elephant, and a Vanderbilt villian, David Barker, who was later changed into a Pike. In this rags to riches spoof, Johnny McWilliams, tried to teach Cindy Bopper how to sing Simply Mahvulousf' and Barnum, Neil Hyde, sang What a Fool I have been when Bopper disappears. All is well in the circus of jesters, bald strongmen, gymnastics, and even tricycles riders, when Bopper is found, and everything is okey dokey according to McWilliams, cause these are The Best of Times.', The women of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Gamma, the only group in the double category, opened their production with a lengthy dramatical dance routine one that brought great applause. In their Little Stop, Little Stop in L. A. , and New York, and Tennessee Calso from Little Shop of Horrors J the aliens, dressed in black leotards, were in pursuit of men. From Wendy Pokorny, a Delta Gamma, the women found out Money Makes the World Go Around, and from Leath Anne Winfrey, they found you have to Razzle Dazzle 'Em Mitch Walker, a DG, was Peggy Sue, who said Knoxville was a 'Pissant Country Town, and said that without ain't worth the skin off a pole cat. Alpha Chi Omega the solo sorority who won second in their division, put the au- dience in the study zone, which put a preppy studier, and a gal doomed to the Tap Room, in a kind of West Side Story . The girls sing a humorous 'Where have all the good men gone, using the names of campus fraternities. Dancing, drumsticks, and I'm so excited finish the show. Other awards went to Leath Anne Win- frey from Kappa Kappa Gamma and the daring Randall Oakley from Lamba Chi Alpha fraternity, for best actress and actor. The only groups not to place this year were the Phi Delta Thetais and the sorori- ty, Chi Omega, who presented a little of Athens Greece to the sound of Animal House , and the men of Pi Kappa Alpha and the ladies of Alpha Omicro Pi who, with tap shoes, two night clubs calld Califanos and flashlights, danced and sang their version of Lola This, Lola That, . For the third year in a row, The Lamb- da Chi's pulled it out and won the A.C.E. overall award again. Points, accumulated from Homecoming, All Sing, and Car- nicus, put the fraternity on top of all the Greeks in this entertaining competition. 3 SQ af 1:5 4 Q qxf ,- . ft. vt' 28 - Student I - .L Q i' KA5 l ! - Tom McNutt 3
