In a ceremony that saw five beautiful and talented women from the University of La Verne compete for the title of Miss La Verne 2007, it was senior political science and Spanish major Lauren Moon who wound up winning the hearts of the judges and the crowd Saturday night.
With the apparent departure of La Verne’s self-proclaimed favorite hillbilly host Billy Bob, played brilliantly by University of La Verne Professor of Communications Don Pollock, the 2006 edition of “Halloween Live!” had a little bit of a different feel this year.
University of La Verne journalists cleaned up – capturing numerous top awards including second place in the “Best Newspaper” category, first place for “Best Magazine,” and first and second place for “Best TV Feature Segment,” 2005 – in a regional Society of Professional Journalist contest last week.
