swapping
sides
By Paulo Albuquerque
Crime and immigration is¬
sues may be prime reasons why
many liberals are jumping ship
and planning to vote conserva¬
tive, says Dr. David Provost, a
CSUF pcjfctical science profes¬
sor.
Dr. Provost explained that
the differences between the
governor's view and the Demo¬
crats on the issues will show in
thepolls.
"Califomians are very con¬
cerned with crime," he said.
Pete Wilson has professed to
be more inclined towards capi¬
tal punishment than Kathleen
Brown," he said. "he has also
shown more evidence toward
being more severe against ille¬
gal immigrants."
According to Dr. Provost this
conversion to trie Republican
side is most likely to occur among
minorities and lower classes
naoreprone to suffer from crimes.

When one thinks of Miss
America, negative connotations
can pop into the mind. One might
think of a young woman who's
dim-witted, air-headed, but very
attractive. Rarely is she thought
of as an articulate, talented and
multi-faceted individual
That's what makes the Miss
Clovis Scholarship Program dif¬
ferent from other competitions:
it aims to showcase the talents of
local young women, ages 17 to
24, and gives them an opportu¬
nity to win college scholarships.
"This is not abeauty pageant,"
said Susan Weisbrodt, the execu¬
tive director for the program. "We
do not aim to take the beauty on
the outside, but the beauty
within."
Although the competition fo¬
cuses on inner beauty, evening
gown and swimsuit competition
will account for 30 percent of the
participants'overall scores.
"For a person to lupieamt Miss
California, they must be physi¬
cally fit," Weisbrodt explained.
"If we took the swimsuit (com
petition] out ft would be great"
The swimsuit tradition has been
a part of the pageant system since
1921, she said-
• The reigning Miss Clovis is
Mishell Bougoukalos, who also
commented on that aspect of the
competition. .
"The swimsuit and evening
gown competition is not about
who has the best body, but how
confident you feel about your-
s

self," Bougoukalos said. "The
evening gowns are moving to¬
wards a more simpler look as
weH"
Bougoukalos is a 23-year-old
CSU, Fresno senior majoring in
liberal studies, and will graduate
in May. One of the advantages of
being Miss Clovis, she said, is the
opportunity to broaden horizons.
Bougoukalos has spoken to such
groups as the Kiwanis Club, Jay-
cees, Clovis Chamber of Com¬
merce and the Clovis Senior Citi¬
zens Group.
"I have been really fortunate
to make some great connections
in the professional world," she
said
She's hopeful of becoming a
kindergarten teacher, and is cur¬
rently working with the Neigh¬
borhood Involvement for
Children's Educationprogramat
the primary level. The program
waspartoftheplatformshechcee
to focus on during her reign. Plat¬
forms are any worthwhile com¬
munity service programsrhe win¬
ner of trke cempetition wishes to
get involved with.
One person hopes to be the
future Miss Clovis is Vonnie Ann
Griva. She's a 24-yearoid CSU,
Fresno health science major, and
will be earning a degree in the
spring. She holds a nursing de¬
gree from Antelope Valley Col-
Griva is involved with the
school horse show team and the
rodeo club. She was named Miss
California Rodeo in 1969, and
wants to add the MissOovis title
to her trophy case.
