HSU BRAND
NOVEMBER 7 1980
PAGE FOUR
From p. 1.
Sing is 'worth it' for clubs
think they will win the Sing? "We
don't think: we know" a member
grin?. "We don't btag or anything"
they say but "that's Just the bot-
tom line. Kappa's gonna win the
Sing."
The men's service club they will
battle doesn't agree. "We're gonna
win the Sing" Felix Garcia Alpha
Phi Omega's Sing director Is sure.
"Everybody says It but we're gon-
na do it." The rnembers of APO are
feeling confident after winning the
men's division last year. But "our
entry's a lot different this year and
we're excited about It" APO Presi-
dent Ronnie Kidd said. Twenty-one
of their active members will be on
stage in-the show.
"We're a service organization"
Kidd said and he believes that be-
ing in the Sing is "a service to the
university and to the alumni."
Apart from entertaining HSU this
weekend "we're concentrating
this year on community services"
Kidd said. Boy Scouts Girl Scouts
YMCA Muscular Dystrophy
Association and Rehabilitation
Services are groups they actively
work with.
It's not all work though. Do the
men of Alpha Phi Omega think
they will win the Sing? "You bet"
Kidd says.
With confidence high among up-
perclassmen who don't mind voic-
ing their predictions Janette
Taylor freshman class president
firmly maintains "Well they're
wrong." She describes the
freshman act as "lively entertain-
ing eye catching and unique."
She feels somewhat at a disad-
vantage however and explained
"We're all new at this." Experience
isn't an asset for the freshmen but
that hasn't stopped Sing director
Shelley Swafford and her crew.
Taylor acknowledged "We
couldn't have done it without the
help of Col. Hinds" class sponsor.
"The freshman class is gonna
surprise a lot of people this year"
the officer thinks. "Since it's been
a long time since the freshman
class has won the sweepstakes
trophy we're shootin' for the 'Big
One.' "
Happiness is a By-Product I
We often stumble on as we lose
ourselves in something bigger
than ourselves. It Is hard to find
but easy to experience. .Ex
perience happiness at 1902':;
North Mockingbird next Sunday ; :
Crescent Heights Baptist
Church.
The contestants in the women's
division are concerned with put-
ting together a quality show but
aren't so competitive In vying for
top recognition. "We have a great
show" Pam Painter of Delta
women's social club said but she
doesn't think the competition
should be the main priority.
Painter Kay Coffman and Shari
Weckerly are chairing the Sing
committee In the 35-member club
led by Mary Helen Seibt president.
Painter's philosophy is that "every
time you go to Sing practice you
should get something out of it."
She said "I think no matter If you
win or lose you should be happy
about it. You should feel good
about it." She regrets that clubs
seem to be divided by the stress of
aiming to win a prize. "It's so time
consuming that if that's all we got
out of it it wouldn't be worth it"
Coffman said.
The girls prefer to emphasize the
goal of doing the best job possible
as individuals and as a group.
"This year things have gone
smoother than they ever have"
Painter said during the week
before performance. The act is be-
ing polished and Delta is ready to
take it to the stage.
Carolyn Estill president of Phi
Phi Phi women's social club also
said her club is "more concerned
with doing the best that we can."
Thirty-one girls are participating
led by Sing chairman Becky Morris
and Julie Wideman co-chairman.
"It takes a lot of time" Estill said.
She admits "We're tired" but
"we're excited about it."
Participating in the project is an
annual enterprise for her and one
she wouldn't consider missing.
She oelieves there are both good
and bad aspects of the event. "It
pulls a club together" she said.
Rehearsing several nights each
week can only allow girls to come
to know one another better she
believes. The counterpart to
closeness within clubs is that "it
can pull clubs of the student body
apart" the president said. As a
veteran Sing performer Estill
looks forward to that final sense of
accomplishment each member of
each act deserves to experience.
She concludes "To me it's all
worth it."
