Three social clubs
to combine efforts
BySKIPOAMPIER
Oatlmltt Staff
For the first time In Sing Song
history three women's social
clubs will combine to perform as
one group said Jeff Nelson
coordinator of Sing Song.
The women of Delta Theta
Kappa Dellan Shri and Zeta Rho
Alpha will unite their members
and talents to enable them to more
fairly compete with the other
three larger women's clubs said
D.T. President Lisa Bradley
senior accounting major from
Weathcrford.
The three clubs were ap-
proached with a similar idea by
the Sing Song co-chairmen last
year but turned the proposal
down said Nelson. "This year
they came to us with the idea" be
said.
Bradley was the one who
brought the idea up this year said
Kadles President Pam Williams
senior pyschology major from San
Antonio. "She mentioned It to me
and then we talked to Zeta
President Johnna West" said
Williams.
"All three of us thought It was a
great Idea so ' we approached
Nelson with our proposal" said

Houston and Amy Hatfield senior
public relations major from
Dallas have been selected as the
Sing Song program directors.
Also Clark Riddcll senior
human communication major
from Redlands Calif. and Eddie
Ragle sophomore communication
major from Nashville Tenn. have
been selected as technical
directors.
Jeff Nelson director of
university special events and Sing
Song coordinator said six hosts
and hostesses possibly will be
selected this year rather than the
traditional four. Because so many
students have auditioned for the
positions Nelson said having six
would "give more people the
chance to be a host or hostess. It's
something new and we want to
give It a try."
Nelson said the actual number
has not been set and will depend
upon the auditions Saturday.
Club and class directors must be
selected before Nov. 19 and
production ideas must be turned in
during the Executive Sing Song
Committee meeting on Dec. 3 said
Nelson. Each organization needs
to have more than one idea on
hand Nelson said in case another
club or class selects the same
theme or the committee does not
approve the initial theme.
Sing Song 'S3 will be Feb. 15 and
16 in Moody Coliseum.
West senior vocational home
economics education major from
Sulphur Springs. "He thought it
was a great Idea and asked us to
meet with the Executive Com-
mittee for their approval" said
West.
Their request was unanimously
approved by the committee said
Nelson. The only stipulation was
that all three of the clubs must
approve of the idea before it can
actually be implemented he said.
"We feel it will give them a
better and fairer chance In the
competition" Nelson said.
After receiving the committee's
approval the presidents presented
the Idea to their clubs. All three
clubs voted unanimously to
combine said West
All three clubs had selected
directors but that will change
when more definite plans are
made said Bradley. Eventually
the clubs will select one director
from the three and the other two
will serve as co-directors she
Bald.
Nelson said this year's com-
bination will serve as an ex-
periment "If this year is a suc-
cess then maybe the clubs will
continue to combine In the
future" he said.
