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

All That Jazz it The Top By Alison McCall ...Think back to February 16th, 7:00 p.m.. the lights go up, the pianos are tuned up, the curtain opens, and all that Jazz begins! Alumni Gym came to life that Saturday night with all the glamour and glitter of a musical somewhere on Broadway. More than 1800 viewers-Greeks, non-Greeks, friends, parents, and alumni-came to see the Broadway gone Knoxville production sponsored by the All Campus Events Committee. It was not a contest of strength, but of voice, and this year it was a compeition that left the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha the overall victors. The 14 groups participating gave All That Jazz the works, with tunes that fit the evening's theme: there were songs from way back when such as Sigma Chi-Alpha Delta Pi's Sweet Georgia Brown. Those with the Broadway musical flair using Alexander's Heart Club Band as an example were the ladies of Kappa Kappa' Gamma dressed all blue. Alpha Xi Delta gave it the blues with The Blues and All That Jazz . Some put a little theme in their theme-The Tri-Delt's jumped , shouted , ad boogied to Barry Manilow. A reli- gious theme was set to music by the Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Alpha Iota's, with Day. by Day . Zeta Tau Alpha said I'll See You in My Dreams, and the Sigma Kappa ladies told us Don't Sleep in the Subway. Costuming played a major part in jazzin up the show, such as the Chi Omega's flashy, frilly red and black costumes. Pi Kappa Alpha and Kappa Delta decked out in tuxes and red, red, red,dresses. Sigma Alpha Epsilon frater- nity and Alpha Omicron Pi sorority were the patriots in red, white, and blue. Blue jeans were only neccessary for the clan from Phi !Delta Theta who fash! ioned their songs after the 50's.And who can forget the Phi Mu Alpha and Delta Gamma duo who did Goldfinger justice with black and a a touch of shiny gold. Oh, and let us not forget the jazziest part of the show-the competition of well-trained voices ad creative costuming giving it their all-Sigma Phi Epsilon's The Auctioneer , and A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square matched against the Lambda Chi Alpha numbers, The Stutter Song , and When I Fall in Love . One group made a bid, the other stuttered, so much so that they brought the audience to their feet, and put the teams in first and second overall. Before awards were given out, it was a moment of guessing the winners, wiping off makeup, and reflecting on what brought these Greek opponents to the moment they were all waiting for.
