VOLUME XXXV—NUMBER 11
Beverly Wills Named Miss Chieftain
Frosh Run-off Election Set for Monday
Galen Tritt Is
Soph. V.P.
The positions of president and
secretary - treasurer of the
Freshman class are still up for
grabs after Wednesday's elec
tion. None of the three candidates
for president managed to secure
a majority, as Jeff Baldwin polled
269 votes and Ken Carlton drew
260, ahead of Bill Waters. In the
race for secretary-treasurer,
Vicki Wells controlled 286 votes
while her nearest opponent Diane
Wallace was able to gain 154. The
remainder of votes were split be
tween Pam Calloway and Sloan
Collier. With only 665 Freshmen
turning out to vote (less than 50
percent of the class), it was nec
essary for a candidate to receive
333 votes in order to have a ma
jority.
RUN-OFF MONDAY
The runoff election for the two
undecided positions will be held
Monday, November 18. The elec
tion will again be held in the Stu
dent Union building, and will be
conducted in the same manner as
this past week. The Freshmen
will have to choose between Jeff
Baldwin and Ken Carlton for
president, and between Diane
Wallace and Vicki Wells for the
office of sec retar y-treasurer.
RICHMOND WINS
The Freshmen did, however,
manage to choose a vice-presi
dent and four representatives.
Will “Chief” Richmond carried
53 percent of the vote as he de
feated Jerry Johnson and Mike
Mitchell in the race for vp. Also
elected were four class repre
sentatives. The four are: Olivia
Evans, Susan Hudspeth, Jan Ro
bitaille, and David Winstead.
TRITT TAKES SOPH. POST
Galen Tritt won a decisive vic
tory in the race to fill the vacancy
for Sophomore vice-president by
defeating Roy Rogers. The Sopho
more turn out was even lighter
than that of the Freshmen, as only
194 votes were cast.
Student Mail
Piles Higher
All students have been as
signed a Post Office Box. Each
student is responsible for any
material addressed to him and
placed in his box. It is re
quested, therefore, that stu
dents check their Post Office
Boxes daily. Some students
are acquiring a great deal of
mail in their boxes and this
presents a problem for stu
dents that share those mail
boxes as well as for the de
liveries of die mail.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1968
1969 Queen
Is Crowned
The crowning of Miss Beverly
Wills as Miss Chieftain, 1969,
climaxed an evening of excite
ment and much judging and re
hearsing for thirty-four lovely
West Georgia coeds.
Miss Wills, a junior from Pres
ton, Ga„ was crowned by Miss
Chieftain, 1968, Mrs. Sue Gantt
Gudger. She was sponsored by
Adamson Hall.
QUEEN’S COURT
The first runner-up on the
queen’s court was Miss Sherri
Thompson, Phi Sigma Delta; sec
ond runner-up, Miss Donna Puck
ett, Alpha Phi Rho; third runner
up, Miss Sheila Salley, Junior
Class. Other runners-up included

Patsy Bray. The remainder of
the fifteen semi-finalists con
sisted of Bonnie Stephens, Betty
Warren, Terry Ellis, Sandy Mc-
Leod, Betty Bailey, Lynn Mc-
Clung, and Nancy Huckaby.
TEA
Before the Beauty Revue, a tea
was held at the Wesley Founda
tion. The contestants were inter
viewed in groups of 12 and their
personalities were judged.
Judges were Mayor John Robin
son, Mrs. Roy (Dee) Cannon of
Red Carpet Travel and Reverend
Don Harp, pastor of St. Andrew
Methodist Church.
JIM AND LES
When all contestants were
viewed and were excitedly wait
ing backstage, the spotlight
shifted to two folk entertain
ers, Jim Byrd and Les Rogers.
The audience listened to their
music and even shouted requests
now and then.
MONEY FOR THIS?
Guy Sharpe, who was the emcee
of the show, came into the im
provised dressing rooms to talk
to the girls, like a sheik in his
harem, or a silver thorn in abed
of roses, much to his delight.
Commenting on Mr. Sharpe's
wisecracks before the audience,
one girl said, “I got so tickled
I couldn’t move!” Other com
ments on Mr. Sharpe were, “He’s
the greatest,” and “He sure is a
very good flatterer,” Meanwhile
Mr. Sharpe said, “I hate to take
money for something like this.”
Beverly was ecstatic in her
shimmering mint green bonded
crepe dress, which incidentally,
our talented new Miss Chieftain
made herself. Mr. Sharpe asked
the seven finalists questions.
Beverly was asked, “How would
you tell your boy friend he had
bad breath?” After a moments
thought, she replied with much
wit, “Well, I guess I’d just send
his name into ‘Bad Breath Anony
mous’ and let them tell him for
me.”
