STATESBORO, Ga. (AP)
Through the insults, telephoi
threats and catcalls, Patri<
Fetter never lost sight of h
poal
And on Saturday, the 5
year-old senior found himsc
at center court where he wj
crowned Georgia Southei
College's 1979 Homecomii
queen.
To a mixed reaction from tl
gymnasium crowd of abo
4,400, Fetter stepped forwar
dodged a few eggs, and a
cepted a plaque from collej
President Dale W. Lick.
Lick broke with traditi<
when he bypassed the 5-footinch
tall Fetter and planted
kiss on his "escort," 6-foot ts
Janette Stephenson.
A RESIDENT of Sullivan
Island, S.C., Fetter said he rc
for Homecoming queen,
part, to complete a courj
requirement 011 the sociolog
of sex roles.
"But that was real]
secondary," he said in
teleDhone intervipw "Th
main reason was to point 01
the absurdity of a situatic
where people would conside
their (Homecoming queen) s
seriously that they would tak
physical and verbal actio
against me."

and popularity. I was

During his two-week can
paign, Fetter, a committe
heterosexual, said he receive
threatening telephone calk
endured snickers and insult
and had to walk past oppositio
wall posters questioning hi
masculinity.
Fetter said his detractor
"were about evenly spli
between thp inHpnpnHantc on

the fraternities." But h
earned enough votes from th
college's 6,500 students t
move through the semifinal
and into the finals, where h
outpolled five women.
"A big part of my suppor
came from the freshmei
women's dorm," he said.

Fetter, a mechanics
engineering major, added tha
he planned to enroll in a nave
flight training program i
Pensacola, Fla., followin,
graduation in March.
"It mav he a little wpin

when next year at about thi
time I have to ask my CO fo
time off so I can go crown thi
next Homecoming queen."
