|College Night| On Saturday, Feb. 11, SGA President Sherrod Hall took the stage following the closing performances of the 94th annual College Night and spoke about the University’s national reputation for social awkwardness. Cheers from the audience expressed pride in the reputation, and Hall concluded his message about his journey to this “socially awkward” institution saying, “It was just meant to be.” Recognizing their catch phrase, the Gold Side erupted in celebratory cheers for a Gold Victory. College Night athletics scores were evenly split, but the Gold Side had a 6-point preproduction lead. The final scores were 523.5 Gold and 501.5 Purple. The Gold show, “Three Ring Ransom,” followed the Ruebacker Mayhem circus, in which Araxia, the ringmaster and owner of the circus, plotted the kidnapping of Emmaline, daughter of a wealthy stockbroker. Araxia planned to take the ransom and leave the circus behind to fulfill her dreams of becoming a showgirl. She nearly succeeded, but her dimwitted husband spoiled the plan by misplacing the ransom note. Ultimately, Araxia’s son
Albert saved the day, coming to Emmaline’s rescue. Albert and Emmaline fell in love and took over care of the circus. In the Purple show, “Skin Deep,” Queen Franzjula was in search of a husband. Her subjects had never seen her but praised her famed beauty. Her guards kidnapped Bonofasio, Fuchsia County’s most eligible bachelor, and brought him to Franzland, offering him the best of everything, provided that he take Franzjula’s hand in marriage. When he saw the queen, Bonofasio was unimpressed and did not propose. Bonofasio and his “unfortunate looking” best friend Edgar were thrown in prison and sentenced to execution, but Edgar managed to escape and win over Franzjula, teaching her that beauty is “more than just skin deep.” Recently retired Director of Student Life Robyn Boyd was the recipient of the 2012 College Night dedication. Because Boyd was unable to attend the performances, Hall, along with Purple leaders Todd Campbell and Hannah Jean Farris and Gold leaders JR Burt and Lindsey Bristol, presented the award to her earlier in the week.
