Shelton Crowned As HSU's New Queen
by Duane Simolke
Midland resident Kristi Shelton was
recently crowned University Queen a
position in which she will represent HSU.
She admits to not listening when the
nominees were given instructions for what
to do if pronounced queen because she did
not think she would be chosen.
"I was shocked" said Shelton a senior
majoring in English and minoring in
physical education. "I was sitting in my
chair looking at the other girls because I
wanted to see their reactions.
"One of the best things is I really got
to know the other girls rather than just say
'hi' and 'bye.' My family got to come
down and (so did) probably my dearest
friend from Baylor."
Shelton said she appreciated the
support of her friends and family and of
everyone at HSU.
"I just wanted to thank everyone" she
said. "I feel honored to represent them."
Shelton had prayed constantly about
where she could go to college. When
everything started working out for her to
come to HSU she was sure she belonged
here. Though she plans to teach she said
she will wait and see what the Lord has
planned for her.
This year 35 women were nominated
for university queen. From that record
amount only six remained until the
crowning ceremony. The other five
finalists vill represent HSU as university
princesses.

to let the players play the game as they know it.
Harp said forward John Gardner and guard Shannon
Wood are two of his best players but Gardner broke his ankle
and Wood has not been at HSU long enough to be eligible to
play this semester.
"When we get everybody healthy and everybody eligible
in the spring I think we'll be really competitive" said Harp.
Forwardcenter Jim Nelson and guardforward Roy Kiser

are also important players for Harp. Of Nelson he saidI
look for him to do well." Of Kiser he said "He will give us
some of the leadership that we desperately hope for with all
the new players."
The team has been working toward making the games
more exciting for fans to watch by adding music during the
games and by developing a more exciting playing style.
"Coach Harp is giving us some freedom to run and shoot"
said Lee Williams freshman guardforward "He's giving us
the greenlight to get up the floor and shoot."
Wood said the freshmen are going to be a big part of the
game. "Guys like Brian Edwards Sean Toney Paul Menzies
