recording of verbal messages in voice

By Debbie Crawford
Student Reporter
A cheer came up from the crowd and dp
band played with extra enthusiasm when
one of its own was named Homecoming
Queen for 1991.
Kristin Behrends senior music educa-
tion major from San Antonio and a mem-
ber of the Big Purple Marching Band
paled when her name was first announced
Looking around uncertainly Behrends
said "What do I do7"
But happy tears and a radiant smile soon
replaced the look of shock. "I can't
believe this" she said.
Behrends thanked fellow band and
GATA social club members for their sup-
port. "Thank ou bandLBand arid GATA
have been wonderful" Behrends said.
AftcrKcnny Wilson president of the
Alumni Association from San Antonio
presented Behrends with a gift from the
BanBnHBBBBnaHanHBBMMM

somed in the special
atmosphere at ACU. We

association she was escorted to a red
Mazda convertible for her royal ride
around the stadium.
Just as the ride concluded three of the
tuba players bowed to their queen playful-
iy-
One of the first of many congratulatory
hugs Behrends received came from the
school mascot Willie Wildcat. She also
received a bunch of purple and red bal-
loons from a fellow GATA member who
told her "The red balloons are from
GATA."
Behrends' roommate Christie Boggs
senior human resources management
major from San Antonio said "Kristin
was completely surprised when she won.
She was delighted just to be included the
Homecoming Queen Court."
Behrends was escorted by her fatheh
Andrew Behrends of San Antonio. Mr.
Behrends said he and his wife both were
"so pleased and excited for Kristin." ;
"Kristin has really blossomed in the spe-
cial atmosphere at ACU. We think so
highly of her and it is really gratifying as a
parent to see others love her and appreci-
ate her as we do" said Mr. Behrends.
The Homecoming Queen is chosen sole-
ly by the student body said Carol Tabor
director of Alumni Activities. Behrends
was one of 1 1 girls nominated by the stu-
dent body Oct. 3. Final votes were cast in
ballot boxes in the McGlothlin Campus
Center Oct. 23 and 24.
Voice Mail II for the past four years and
they found it on indispensable service in
their work said Campbell.
The disadvantage Campbcllsaid he fore-
sees to implementing Voice Mail II is the
fact that "people will have to learn how to
use the system."
However Campbell said "It is the kind
of thing that once people leam to use they
will be hooked on it."
Campbell said he "anticipates the need
for written and group training sessions" in
teaching students to utilize the service but
nothing specific has been planned.
