comes in the wake of students’ request of
Bonner to "get rid of the name."
This year's speaker is Curt
Cloninger, who deliver's God's message
through drama. Singer and author Michael
Card boasts of Cloninger, "Curfs ministry
takes on a unique characteristic very simi
lar to Jesus' parables- it invites you to par

by Linda Shirlen
The King of Hearts Pageant will take
place tomorrow night, February 16, at 7:30
in Gaither Chapel. Girls and guys alike will
turn out to watch nine guys show their cre
ativity in many areas such as evening wear,
swim wear, question and answer, and tal
ent.
The reigning King of Hearts Jeff
Sheets vocalized, "Good time, definitely a
good time. The King Of Hearts pageant is
a fun thing to do. All those that participated
last year got a kick out of it."
Last year Sheets finished his routine
by throwing the decapitated piece of poul
try, known as Sammy the Wonder Chicken,
into the crowd. Sammy was placed on in
jured reserve after the unplanned flight into
the group of side stitched students and fac
ulty.
Student Activities Chair Queen
Musengwa will be hosting the event with
Chicken Chucker Sheets. The admission
will be free and raffle tickets will be given
to all audience members. The tickets will
be drawn for door prizes, including gift cer-
rown
tificates.
Musengwa expressed, "1 just hope
that students show up and support this ac
tivity. It is the biggest event we have. I'hey
can see the diverse talents of the other stu
dents. Remember it is free."
Junior Christi Waddell deelared, "Ya,
I’ll be there!"
Many royal talents will compete for
the coveted crown this year, including such
class representatives as Junior Chris Day,
Senior Jay Johnson, Sophomore Christian
Malone, Freshman Scott Kilgore.
The elected dormitory delegates are:
from Anderson Hall Alan Hines, McGregor
Hall Charles Wilson, Davis Hall Kerwin
Francois, and Howerton Hall Ben Shaw. The
off-campus representative is Cameron Tho
mas.
The Chicken Chucker will pass-on his
crown, and Malone plans to be the guy to
wear it. Malone chuckled and insisted, “Just
come see me top the old Chicken Chucker.
By the time 1 am finished people will for
get about old Sammy The Wonder Chicken
and only think of me. The future King of
Hearts.”
and di.scussions. Bonner will be leading a
discussion on "Love, Sex, and Intimacy."
Another group will volunteer at sev
eral ministries in the area, led by SCA As
sistant to the President Jeff Sheets
Two chapel credits will be offered for
full attendance in each group. Copies of
Abba's Child and Uie Cost of Discipleship
will be soid in the bookstore on a "pay what
you can" basis. Bonner urged, "If you are
holding back from joining a group because
of the sacrifice that it requires, consider the
sacrifices of Jesus. That's what Crossroads
is all about."
Students will experience the famil
iar, yet detested one hour delay on Wednes
day after 11:00 AM. McGregor RA Mark
Wright harped, "For the sake of the speak
ers' schedules, 1 understand the need for
Wednesday morning Chapel during special
weeks, but it is still a pain."

Wednesday nights due to the 7:00 Chapels.
