Here she is... BCS Pageant representative chosen Stephanie Paschal Staff Reporter The Black Cultural Socicty of Elon College presented the first annual Miss Black Cultural Society pageant October 3. Freshman Gladys Tate, was crowned the winner. The pageant was held in Whitley auditorium and consisted of 11 Elon students. The contestants competed in areas of talent, evening and business attire and a brief question and answer session. To ensure an unbiased competition, judges for the event were brought in from outside of the Elon community . Tate recited a poem in the talent competition and spoke of aspirations of being a teacher during the question and answer session. "The purpose of the pageant," said Zenia Stevens, vice president of BCS, "was to creatively find a representative for homecoming." Miss Tate will not only represent the Black Cultural Society at homecoming, but also in the community for the next year. Tate is enthusiastic about representing BCS in all capacities. "I look foward to attending all multicultural events on campus this year. I hope to get everyone involved," Tate said. David Bines, BCS president, is optimistic about the pageant and its results. "The pageant has allowed us to choose the best repesentative for us on campus. I feel that having one Gladys Tate wins BCS pageant representative will enhance BCS greatly." Co-chairperson Sybill Shepherd Bill Harvey/The Pendulum shares in Bines excitement. "This is the greatest thing that BCS has accomplished since I've been on campus." Students jam cafe' style Heather Bolton Staff Reporter Coffee anyone? The first ever "Coffee House" began ScpL 29 in the Back Door. It was not a talent show, but it was an open, informal atmosphere where people could come and relax or get up and express anything they wantefl. The different performers ranged from musicians, to sign language singing, to the reading of a Dr. Seuss story. There also was complimentary coffee, soda and pretzels served. Brad Cokendolpher, a graduate Residence'Lffe’member, orgaiiiJ^cfl thff "Coffee House." "I wanted to have a laid back atmosphere for people to come and share their feelings," Cokendolpher said. He said that it is for both students and faculty. "It's nice to get to know your teachers in a social setting rather than in class all of the time." he said. Bob Pelley, associate dean of student affairs, performed by reading some of his own poetry. "It was Bob's idea to start Coffee House. He has wanted me to start it for years," Cokendolpher said. Pelley got the idea from Colorado College, where he used to work. Student Cji:ulie Smith played the ■cdnfaTSrutfi'sr 11^1 this is a great way to let people express themselves. The Coffee House is great to just come and play for fun," Smith said.
