girls as finalist for university
queen. Another vote was taken on

jogging. Story admits she enjoys
sports in general.

onation. Carla Guidry sang "I'll
Never Love This Way Again" and
Charles Downey sang "If Ever I

Fred McNab was the emcee for the
special occassion and David Kent
provided the slide shown of the
five finalist. Janet Kilmore design-
ed the program cover for the event.
The Queen's Cornation
ceremony was sponsored by the
Hardin-Simmons student congress
and congress secretary Kimber
Whitaker was in charge of the
ceremony preparations.

ABILENE TEXAS NOVEMBER 7 1980 NUMBER NINE
Tireless efforts culminate in weekend mus
By CHERYL ANTHONY
Arts Editor
Weeks of tireless effort will
culminate this weekend with a well
earned sense of accomplishment
for five campus groups that will
perform In the All-School Sing.
Performances are tonight and
tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in
Behrens Auditorium. Tickets are
available in Moody Center at a dis-
count to Hardin-Simmons students
and faculty members.
For all involved Sing rehearsals
have demanded that extra time be
set aside from busy schedules. Ac-
tual participation in the production
seems to mean different things to
different people but the result
should be pleasing enthusiastic
audiences composed of parents
peers and friends who approve of
the college tradition.
A distinctive flavor of competi-
tion surrounds the preparation for
performance. Secrecy is employed
by the participators as a weapon
against losing ground to rivals.
Some groups thrive on the battle
for the sweepstakes prize; others
find the most enjoyment from
other aspects of the project.
Parents Day highlighted with activity
Parents of Hardin-Simmons Uni-
versity students will be honored
tomorrow on the university cam-
pus during the annual Parents Day
festivities.
Highlight of the morning activi-
ties will be a general assembly in
Behrens at 10:30 a.m. which will
feature a short concert by the
University Orchestra an address
by HSU President Dr. Jesse C.
Fletcher on the "State of the
University" Introduction of the
University Queen and her Court a
Decan auction musical numbers
(by Singers Hoi and a slide show.
Following the assembly a bar-
becue luncheon will be held by the
pond if the weather permits and In
Mabee Complex otherwise. The
HSU Cowboy Band will perform
during the noon picnic on the
grounds.
Saturday afternoon activities
will consist of residence halls and
club open house tours of the cam-
pus and newly opened Lou Morton
Ellis Center and Cowden-Paxton
Hall and a varsity basketball
scrimmage in Mabee Complex at
2 p.m.
The final performance of the All-
School Sing will climax an already
full day. Sponsored by Sigma
Alpha lota and Phi Mu Alpha music
fraternities the Sing involves stu
dent groups who will be judged on
musical quality theme choreog-
raphy costuming and audience ap-
peal. Winners will be announced at
the Saturday night performance.
Announcements of the parents
who traveled the farthest to attend
Parents Day and parents with the
most children at HSU will be in-
cluded in the Sing program.
Wrapping up the weekend's ac-
tivities the Alumni Association
will sponsor a dessert party after
Sing Saturday night In the Moody
Center cafeteria. Tickets are
available in the Alumni Office or
may be purchased at the door.
This year brings two men's
fraternities two women's
sororities and the freshman class
into the musical arena. Some
groups are experienced collegiate
entertainers in this event while
others are novices.
The members of Kappa Phi
Omega come to the stage for the
first time since 1970 when they
entered in the mixed division with
the ladies of Hunter Hall dor-
mitory. They're celebrating their
fifteenth anniversary as a men's
Christian social club with en-
thusiasm and self-confidence.
They don't see their inexperience
as Sing entrants in recent years as
a hindrance to their work.
"We're excited about it" presi-
dent Derek Bennett said. "It's
brought the club a lot closer
together." All of the 19 active
members are involved in the Sing
and in what Bennett describes as
"a real close-knit brotherhood."
The three-fold basis of the
organization is cooperation con-
geniality and Christian ethics all
of which are incorporated into Sing
rehearsals.
But congeniality doesn't thwart
their competitive drives. Do they
