AST sisters prepare ABC hosts
for annual pageant 'School
by Claudia Caracci
contributing writer
We've got a homecoming king and
queen, but now students have the chance
to decide who will take home the crowns
of Mr. and Ms. Penn State Behrend
Pageant.
Sponsored by social sorority Alpha
Sigma Tau, 20 contestants, 10 male and
10 female, have been battling alt week
in front of Bruno's to grab the top five
spots on each side.
Each contestant has been engaged in
a "change war." Students cut the field
from 10 to five on each side by placing
spare change and donations into cups in
front of Bruno's. The five with the most
money move on to the pageant.
AST sisters declined comment on
which contestants were in the lead.
Students have the chance to see the
final round Thursday at 7 p.m. in the
McGarvey. The contestants will face off
in beachwear, eveningwear and
casualwear. At the end of these events,
each will be asked a question. The
answer will be factored into the decision
of the judges.
Chris Fox and Christa Morris, from
the Office of Student Activities, and
Linda Lewis, former AST adviser, will
be the judges.
The pageant is used by AST to raise
money for the Pine Mountain Settlement
School in Kentucky. All proceeds,
including the $1 donation admission,
will go to the school. AST is close to
surpassing last year's estimated total of
$250 to $3OO. With one day left in the
"change war," the donation admission
the total is already more than $2OO.
Attendance last year was
