Show Page 4 The Thunderbird Monday, January 30, 1984 Barnyard manners belong on the farm There were some in the audience at the Snow Queen Pageant who without doubt did not belong there but rather in the barns they presumably were reared in. Rude jokes and snide remarks from some audience members demonstrated that the maturity level of these supposed adults is at an extreme low. One would think that upon reaching the college level such childish behavior would have been outgrown, but some, it is apparent, still maintain that level generally equated with junior high school children. Obviously those who behaved so uncouthly have little consideration for other members of the audience who were sincere in their attendance or for those who were involved in the pageant, and it is a marked sign of a poor upbringing or lack of sensitivity. Those who have such habitually poor deportment in social situations should not be allowed to participate in public events such as the pageant. Such behavior is the root of anarchy. Sadly, it appears that measures will have to be employed in order to defend those who are sincere in their desire to attend such events from those who deserve to be thrown out in the back alley where their behavior dictates they belong. The Thunderbird, while it laments the necessity of policing actions, highly endorses the use of ushers to act as deterrers to those who dont belong at public functions. Another means of eliminating undesirables from such events as the Snow Queen Pageant would be to require an entrance ticket. The effort involved to obtain the ticket would be enough to eliminate many of those who dont deserve to attend. Of course, these measures are not desirable. It would be thought that those who make up an audience would have the consideration to at least sit quietly through a presentation toward which others may have devoted much time and hard work. There are places where rowdy behavior is acceptable and even encouraged and there are others where it is not. And of course, the poor behavior of a few often is looked upon by others as an indication of the group as a whole.
