The crowd gazed toward
the sky as colored smoke
and parachutes with bright
designs floated down to
wards the stadium. The
Winston-Salem State band
dressed in red, black and
white uniforms vied for the
audience’s attention as they
treated the crowd to a
program of unconventional
top 40’s music.
Nervous coeds with es
corts stood on the track
straining to see who would
be Elon’s Homecoming
Queen. Finally, a smiling
Joni Joram was crowned as
the Homecoming Queen for
1981-82.
All of these events marked
the homecoming game activ
ities that took place on
Saturday, Nov. 14, in Mem
orial Stadium. Joni, a senior
representing Sigma Pi frat
ernity, was escorted by
James Kouchinsky. She is
also a sister of Phi Mu
sorority.
College Bowl generates ‘^mega-fun
by Belinda Peoples
“Toss ups are worth 10
points, and bonus questions
are worth up to 40 points.
Heeeere’s the whistle...”
College Bowl has begun.
The Harper Area Coimcil
held its first College Bowl
‘81 last Tuesday, Wednes
day, and Thursday. Each
hall in Staley and Moffitt
dorm was represented as a
team of four contestants.
Ten teams participated in
College Bowl ‘81.
Sample questions were
based upon research of the
Elon College faculty. “You
form a little zoo of your
own with a bear, a wolf, an
otter and a lion. For 10
points, how many different
mammalian orders are repre
sented?” “Time!” yelled
Suzanne Stevens, the official
timekeeper.
“The answer is one,” Jim
Hackney the M.C. con
firmed. “The order is car
nivora.”
The next question:
“Judith Stern defined it as a
‘ comb life gives you after
you lose your hair.’ Oscar
Wilde said it was the ‘name
everyone gives their mis
takes.’”
Sleeze Bag, a member of
second Moffitt buzzed for
the answer. “It is exper
ience,” he announced em-
phaticaUy.
The round ended with a
blow of the whistle.
Audience participation
was ecstatic. “Please, if you
know the answer to the
questions, keep them to
yourselves. If the answers
arc shouted out, the
question will have to be
disquaUfied,” reminded
Hackney.
BiU Hall, captain of the
champion team, the third
floor “Zoo Crew” of
Moffitt, described College
Bowl ‘81 as a “friendly
competition, where you have
mega-fun and maybe even
learn a Uttle bit.” Members
of Hall’s team were Mark
Crawmer, Kevin Qark, and
Jim Laine.
Hall’s team racked their
brains against the second
floor team from Moffitt for
the finals Thursday. The
runner-up team consisted of
Gerry Elks (captain), Greg
Wright, Bill Winston and Ed
Marks.
Cheryl Ebert and Virginia
Evans have watched
“MASH” for years, “but,”
exclaimed Cheryl, “1 never
knew what those initials
stood for. Now I know.
They stand for Mobile Army
Surgical Hospital.”

fraternity. Lisa Cannady, a
senior, escorted by Andy
Davis, won second place
representing the Inter-Frat
ernal Council.
A tie for third place
resulted in two winners.
Jenny Yeshnick, a sopho
more, escorted by Robert
Wentz, represented the West
Area of the Elon campus.
Also, Lydia Grace, a senior
who was escorted by George
Holmes, won third place for
Alpha Sigma Alpha.
It turned out to be a day
for winners as the Elon
College Fighting Christian
football team showed the
Winston-Salem State Rams
how it won the NAIA
championship last year by
defeating them, 30-20.
