BEAMING WITH happiness, Shahnaz holds her roses, wears her shining tiara and receives congratulations from President Bachman. A native of Teheran, Iran, was crowned by Dr. John W. Bachman on December 3 as the 1967 Fortress Queen. Mrs. Shahnaz Roach was chosen by the Fortress staff from an original field of ten coeds and crowned from among four finalists. After Dr. Bachman had crowned Shah- naz, Mrs. Bachman presented the lovely queen with two dozen long-stemmed red roses. Escorted by her husband, Tom, Shahnaz joined the long list of Fortress Queens who have become eligible for the Drake Relays Queen title. Shahnaz came to the United States in 1962 and matric- ulated at Wartburg in September of 1963. She is a senior majoring in sociology and social work. Mrs. Roach ' s attendants were Jan Christensen, Mrs. Bar- bara Scofield and Janet Stengel. 25

NOMINATING CONVENTION . . . Student Body Presidential Nominating Convention 1966. The first of its kind in the Midwest. Keynote speaker. Congressman Culver. Nominations, speeches, demonstra- tions. A success! These pTirases aptly describe the first nominating con- vention at Wartburg College. It was run on the some plan as the notional conventions held by the major po- litical parties. It fulfilled its objectives: to interest students in the elec- tion; to draw out active participation; and to develop a new means of getting able candidates to run for office. Although the convention did require a lot of work and time on the port of many students, it was termed a huge success because it afforded the student a rare and use- ful experience for his future life as a citizen of the United States. It was indeed an experiment, but it is now a tradition— a beneficial tradition that will last for years to come. OFFICIAL PRESENTATION of the colors by an Air Force color guard and the singing of the national anthem open the convention. PEP BAND members Gary Hudik, David Barrett, Dick Sundqulst and Bob Eltgroth provide background music at the convention. STUDENT BODY president, Wil- liam Hamm, acts as convention chairman, presiding over delegates and conducting nominations.
