The powder puff football game will take place at the Hansen Stadium Thursday at 7 p.m. Thursday will feature the powder puff game where girls have the opportunity to play flag football in the same style as the traditional game. The powder puff game will feature the same announcers and similar halftime entertainment, said Natalie Belka, a sophomore elementary education major from West Valley, who will also be playing linebacker on the sophomore and junior team. The halftime show will feature excellent dance choreography, but will be different as to the type of performers involved. Each year during the powder puff game, a group of men come together to form the Rebeli-na- s. The Rebelinas are my favorite part of powder puff, said Jailyn Kenison, a senior nursing major from Kearns. There is nothing so entertaining as a bunch of dudes shaking it like Mrs. Doubt-fir- e on the football field. The national anthem will be sung at the game by the chamber choir with the ROTC presenting the colors. Fighting for the powder puff trophy will be juniors and sophomores in red, and freshmen and seniors in grey, said Belka. The game begins at 7 p.m. in the Hansen Stadium. Fridays events include the alumni assembly at 10:30 a.m. in the Eccles Concert ing to the late evening, beginning with the parade. All clubs artd oiganiza-tion-s will be there in full -- Hall, and Rock the Mall where club and organization members battle one another musically with original presentations of the DSC school song, said Higginson. The battle will take place in front of the Gardner Center at 2 p.m. Prizes will be given out for best performance and audience participation, Fliggin-so- n storm, Higginson said. The parade will begin on Tabernacle Street and 300 East at 9 a.m. and will precede Founders Day, where DSC Alumnus are honored for their civic and community achievments. Founder's Day begins at 10 a.m. at the St. George Tabernacle, said. Saturday is packed full of events from the early mom- - see ACTIVITIES page 2 education major Valley. Most people when they think of pageants think its such a girly thing to do, but its hard work, she said. Belka said preparing for a pageant contains lot of work that most people dont think about. She said there is a lot of studying and practicing that goes on behind the scenes. Whether youre speaking publicly or walking in a swimsuit, you have to have courage and confidence, Belka said. Participant Kelby Tyler, a freshman major from St. George, agreed and said there is a big misconception about pageants. Crystal Burtis, a sophomore elementary education major from Logan and stu dent government social chair, is in charge of the pageant. She said the girls have been practicing for almost two months, and they meet weekly to prepare. She said some of the things she and the participants have been doing during their weekly practices includes learning how to be professional during an interview and how to answer the questions. Weve learned how to properly interview and what things we need to know, like world, national, community and school events, Belka said. They can ask you anything and you have to have a stand. Its a lot of work that I didnt realize because you have to be able to back up your answer. Burtis said theyve also had the opportunity to learn model walking, like the figure eight pattern and turns. The girls were also taught about hair and make up during their practices, and they practice the dance for their opening number each week as well. During one of the practices the Paul Mitchell hair school came and taught us how to properly do hair and make up to look good on stage, Belka said. Burtis said there are three main reasons why the girls decided to participate. Most of die gilds decided to participate in the pageant because they have platforms or issues they want to share, they want to go on to Miss Utah, and others just want to prove they can do it, Burtis said Tyler decided to participate in the pageant because she thought it would be a great way to meet new people, be involved in the school, and serve the com munity. Participant Chelsea Gould, a junior nursing major from Orem, said she decided to do the pageant because shes trying to get her platform out, and she figured it would be a good way to get her voice into the community. Her platform is creating lifetime humanitarians in youth service and involvement. Participant Lacey Timothy, a senior nursing major from Price, said she was in the Homecoming queen pageant last year, and she wanted to do it again. She said through the pageant, shes been able to build confidence, stage presence and meet a lot of new people. Participant Alexa Winn, a freshman integrated studies major from Smithfield, said her boyfriend challenged her to do the pageant, so she decided to and she is glad she did. Ive never done this before, so thats kind of my biggest challenge, she said. Many of the girls in the pageant have challenges similar to Winns. Im having a hard time walking in heels and everything, Belka said. Its a challenge for me to be this feminine, but I wanted to do see PAGEANT page 2 VATCH'FOR OUR REGULAR ISSUE WEDNESDAY in I just ng you hear the words aty pageant, Dm St. j Dixie royalty earned through hard work, practice Hiss rs t Wednes-a- p.m. at the three-sto- p south of the Old E I v Visit us online news, but photo for breaking galleries, com- mentary, interactive tures, and more fea- how to reach us inside Homecoming Opinion Lifestyles 2 3 5 Dixie State College Jennings Bldg. 225 S 700 E St. George, UT 84770 dixiesundixie.edu k (.
