In the past week, the
Southwestern University
womens voiieyball team
defeated two traditional rivals
and took first place in the
Missouri Western Invitational
tournament in St. Joseph, MO.
The Pirates have a 22-5 record
for the season and were ranked
third by the NAIA Tuesday, Oct.
14.
On Oct. 8, SU defeated Texas
Wesleyan University of Fort
Worth - a team that beat them
earlier in the year. And, on Oct.
14 defeated St. Edward’s
University of Austin, a team that
kept them out of the playoffs last
year.
At the Missouri Western
Invitational Southwestern upset
the second and fifth-ranked teams
in the NAIA. They also handed
Central Missouri State
University, ranked fifth in NCAA
Division II, their first defeat.
"Conditioning paid off for us.
We played consistently with no
mental lapses," said SU Coach
Glada Munt. "More than anything
we proved to ourselves that we
are good."
"Setter Kristi Horton played
exceptionally well in the
tournament," said Munt. "Her
setting and leadership skills were
instrumental in our success."
Munt and the team axe
- looking at four more weeks of
stiff competition before the
playoffs begin Nov. 3.
"We need to get our feet back
on the ground and concentrate on
the next few weeks. Some of our
toughest games are ahead of us."
said Munt.
Top hitters for the Pirates
continue to be Tela Lindsey,
Kathy Chapman, Sheri Roberts
and Ann Hargrove.
Linsdey plays well on both
offense and defense and is a
candidate for All-America honors
this season, so far this season she
has 389 kills, 273 digs and 21
solo blocks. Xhapman has 211

Southwestern University’s
Annual Phonathon will begin
October 19th, Sunday night, and
will run until November 6 in the
Mood Atrium. The idea is for
current students to call Alumni
and ask for tax deductible dona-
tions. The Brown Foundation has
agreed to match or multiply do-
nation amounts under certain
criteria. Phone calls will be made
from 7-9 p.m. every evening to
reach needed goals. Southwest-
ern needs your help.
Most of S.U.’s students do
not realize that they are here on
what is called "hidden scholar-
ships." Our education would cost
each one of us $6,000 more if
Southwestern did not take such
fund-raising steps to foot the bill.
George Brown of the Brown
and Root company was married
to a 1976 graduate of Southwest-
ern. He set up the Brown Foun-
dation to match, double, triple
pledged through the Phonathon.
Last year the phonathon made
over $100,000 for our "hidden
scholarships." Phonathon is the
single largest fund-raising event
activity at the school.
Last year Kate Butler single-
handedly raised over $10,000 by
herself. As a reward for such
diligent effort, Kate went skiing
with several other top money
makers in an all expense paid trip
funded by the University. The
prize this year will be a school
sponsored Cruise from Miami,
Fla., to N ass an for five students.
who participate in the Phonathon.
Each night students who par-
ticipate will be provided with free
munchies and drinks. Drawings
for door prizes gathered by Stu-
dent Foundation members will

occur between 7-9 intermitently
as students call.
With the state of the economy
as it is, this year is critical for our
school. We are seriously affected
bv the present economic condi-
tions. To help callers gather a
great deal of pledge, monies the
school has grouped S.U. gradu-
ates along the lines of majors.
For instance, if you are a business
major you can call a graduated
business major. Also, if you are
Greek affiliated you will be able
to call alumni from your organi-
zation’s past. In providing these
facts the Phonathon sponsors
hope callers will be able to make
up pleasant conversation through
common connections that carry
through time.
Steve Sergiovanni is the man
in charge of the entire event.
He’s been very excited about
heading up a successful
Phonathon. If you have any
questions about how "you can help
and become eligible for the Ba-
hama Cruise Steve urgently asks
you to call him at either 863-1712
or 863-1845.
The Phonathon is really a
great deal of fun. On Phonathon
nights the Mood Atrium can liter-
ally starf hopping when Pledge
amounts start ‘skyrocketting and
as the .competition for the school
sponsored trip becomes heated.
Calling and asking for pledge
amounts will benefit all of S.U.
now and in the long run (tuitions
won’t dramatically rise). It
should only be fitting that all of
S.U. will let their fingers do the
walking. This Phonathon is our,
the students, chance to actively
engage in raising the school to
"National Maturity" and making
it the best for us that it can be.
Re-Cap of SU Sing-Talent Show
by Alison Green
Talent was abounding on
October 10 at the annual presen-
tation of Sing. For those of you
who didn’t attend this spectacle,
Sing, an important part of Home-
coming Weekend, is a song and
dance competition between the
four sororities, four fraternities,
the R.A.’s and S.A.’s plus a vari-
ety of different acts.
The performance included ev-
erything from a take-off of the
Broadway Musical Cats to a
campfire setting of Happy Trails.
The Tri-Delts started the show
off with their version of "DDD-
TV" which included TV take-offs
of the Jeffersons’ theme song,
"Moving On Up" to a word from
our sponsor performance by
Southwestern’s own Chicita Ba-
nana, Mary Buchanan.
Our very own Kappa Alphas
dressed up in their Texan attire of
blue jeans, bandanas and cowboy
boots (ie: penny loafers and L.L.
Bean Moccasins), while the Delta
Zetas dressed to the tee in 40’s
attire and sang such Andrews
Sisters’ songs as "Rum and Coca
Cola" and "Apple Blossom
Time."
the overall winners of the
competition, the Pi Kappa Alphas
also dressed up in country west-
ern attire of overalls and bare feet
and gracefully entered the stage
through a shack carrying sticks
and singing "Ring the Banjo."
Impersonating the mainte-
nance crew, the R.A.s and S.A.s
gave us a taste of what it’s really
like to be part of a clean-up
crew. Brooms and brushes in
hand, they demonstrated their
skills in both handy work as well
as vocally when they sang their
own versions of "Matchmaker,"
"Do A Deer” and "Maria."
To commemorate their 100th
year anniversary, the ever-so ca-
sual Kappa Sigs dedicated their
performance to their founders.
Showing their inner-fraternal
unity, they sat around in a semi-
circle with lit candle and a fire
extinguisher in the middle.
