“Womanless” beauty pageant
provides laughs and excitement
The womanless beauty
contest sponsored by the Music
Educators National Conference
was the biggest thing to hit
Elon since the Fire. The
laughter and hysteria exhibited
by the audience indicated that
this contest has a promising
future.
The judges for the contest
were Emma Lewis, John
Graves, Carole Troxler, Terry
Woodex and Joel Brown, who,
along with Gerry Francis as the
master of ceremonies, seemed to
enjoy themselves as much as
the audience. E^ch contestant
was judged on casual dress,
talent, bathing suit, and
evening gown, with point
deductions for vulgarity.
This year’s contest boasted
nine contestants; they were
Trey Baldwin, Sigma Phi
Epsilon; Cooper Maddox, Kappa
Sigma; Greg Hamilton, &ta
Tau Alpha; James Mantanzo,
Tau Kappa Epsilon; Bryan
White, Phi Mu; Perry Warren,
Student Union Boanl; Bruce
Boyd, Alpha Phi Omega; Kemp
Liiles, Pi Gamma Mu; and Rick
Murray, Emmanons.
Trey Baldwin, with flowing
black hair, sang and
accompanied "herself on guitar
in her own rendition of a
Crosby, Stills and Nash
favorite. Cooper Maddox in the
talent competition followed as a
stand-up comedienne. The
second runner-up was Greg
Hamilton who could be seen as
the loveliest of all the lovelies.
James Montanzo, who had a
most gracehil walk, was voted
Miss Congeniality. The first
runner-up was Bryan White
with bearded face who did an
original Charleston dance.
Perry Warren, a most stately
contestant, entertained the
audience with a clown act.
Kemp Liles vamped out on
stage with a song and dance act
with mike in hand in "her”
talent act which also included a
proposition to Mr. Graves. A
lovely Rick Murray also took
the stage and amazed the
audience with a drum act while
"Miss” Bruce Boyd stunned the
audience with "her” skimpy
bikini and came through in the
end to be crowned Miss Elon
Womanless 1977.
In an assessment of the
contest as a whole, it can easily
be implied from audience
reaction that the talent and
bathing suit competitions were
most enjoyable of all.

Students, faculty join in fast
Last week’s CROP fast
sponsored by PIKG and the
religion department was
successful in relating the
problem of world hunger to the
Elon College community.
Carol Dragos, a student
promoter of the fast, felt that
the students and facility gave a
good effort in support of the
program. Between 40 and 50
people participated, but it is too
early to estimate the money
raised for CROP; since all
pledge forms have not been
turned in yet
The fast started at 6:00 p.m.
on March 30 with Terry
Bonnette, the director of CROP,
leading a discussion in Mooney
Theatre. CROP is a world
church related organization
trying to help relieve the
hunger problem throughout the
world. The fast was concluded
with a communion service
conducted by Dr. Carole Chase
and Steven Caddell, the campus
minister, on Thursday ni^t at
12:00. Pasters were allowed a
juice break at 3:00 on Thursday.
Many college organizations
including Zeta Tau Alpha
Sorority, Civennettes, and the
SGA sponsored students.
Programs such as the CROP
fast are being planned for the
future to help with hunger and
poverty.
