Aggies are viewed by outsiders as
a roughneck crowd getting drunk at
midnight yell practice. But last
night, they showed another side
when a student took first place for
fiction and three people shared first
place in poetry at the third annual
creative writing awards program.
Seventy persons gathered in
Rudder Theatre as MSC Arts
Committee chairman Ken Dimmick
introduced the special speaker
Peter Cooley.
Cooley, a creative writing in
structor from Tulane University in
New Orleans, read a selection of
poems.
The readings included one made
from a series of lines Cooley had
written in notebooks and another he
had written as elegy for a friend who
committed suicide. Dimmick and
Cooley then presented the awards
to the finalists.
Kevin Dane Higginbotham, a
sophomore in journalism, took the.
$75 first place fiction award with his
story about a student who stole a
watch from his father. The $50 sec
ond prize went to Vera Alyson
Williams, a computer science junior,
and John Nelson Evans, a wildlife
and fishery freshman, won $25 for
his entry. When the winners read
from their entries, Evans said, after
hearing Cooley, his voice would
sound like a vacuum cleaner in com
parison .
Dimmick said the judges pre
ferred not to make a choice so three
winners shared first place in poetry
and each recieved $50.
The winners in poetry were Glen
Anderson, a senior in industrial
engineering, Bonnie Elaine
Campbell, a junior in history and
Beverly Gainer, a junior in English.
Fiction judges were Richard
Costa, Harrison Hirth and Frank
Peirce from the A&M English de
partment. Poetry judges were Paul
Christensen and Janet McCann
from the English department and
Wulf Kopke from the foreign lan
guage department.
The six winners will read their
selections April 19 in room 226 of
