| The third award, given in 1985, honored a member who made a public eccentric discordian display in a manner that upset a number of cheerleaders and pleased many others. |
| 1985 |
 |
| The fourth award dates to 18 January 1985, or 18 Chaos 3151. Like all the awards given by the original group, the specific reasons are not listed. |
By 1985, many of the original Ĕk-sĕn-trĭks Cluborguild had graduated or left the college that
recognized the club. But the effects of the ek-sen-triks were publicly displayed before the
club even became official with a particular candidacy for homecoming queen.
"One day while (Zeus and Alien) was working to create the cluborguild, they walked with
another college student who later adopted the member name Prudence. A contest for
homecoming queen was coming up, and one of the duo suggested their friend run for the
position. Prudence remarked, ‘I’d only run for homecoming queen if I wore a bag over my
head.’ The idea thrilled them both, and The Unknown Homecoming Queen Candidate was
born. (The name was inspired by The Unknown Comic and the concept possibly by Bagism.)"

| THE UNKNOWN HOMECOMING QUEEN (candidate) |
Like the Order of the Pineapple winners who preceded her, The Unknown Homecoming
Queen Candidate (often called The Unknown Homecoming Queen) was a founding
member of the club. As the cluborguild hadn't been officially recognized by the deadline
for candidacy, the candidate was actually sponsored by a club called COHATH whose
president later became known as Raggmopp who was later named to the OP.
The college allowed each student with an ID card to vote for up to five candidates, and
"the woman with a bag over her head" was one of the five finalists. In fact, in the initial
voting she received more votes than any other candidate. This caused a problem, as
none of the college's cheerleaders made the finals and weren't too happy about losing
to a "bag lady."
Because of real concerns to her safety, the Santa Juanita Liberation Army allegedly
kidnapped her, and to pay her supposed ransom the cluborguild sold Christmas
ornaments made out of paper bags. She did not appear at that homecoming (at least
not with a bag over her head--but she did later). The story was written up in a
magazine article.
On the final vote each student could vote for only one candidate. Ironically, on this
vote she came in last.
