Winner has chance at Miss Texas
Spring beauty pageant set
By MARGARET JOHNSON
Battalion Reporter
Texas A&M University, which is
often thought of as a basically male
military school, will surprise the
Southwest Conference with a first
— a Miss Texas A&M pageant.
“This will give A&M a chance to
prove that it’s not an all male, mili
tary school,” said Steve Noak,
pageant director. “In fact, we hope
this will become a tradition.”
The MSC Hospitality Committee
is hosting the pageant, February
15-16 in Rudder Auditorium.
Noak, appointed director by the
Hospitality Committee, has been
associated with pageants for over 11
years. He has directed, emceed and
judged various contests, and is
presently vice president of Imperial
Mill Pageants, Inc., which holds
pageants in 31 states.
“The Imperial Mill pageants are
not directly associated with the Miss
America contests,” said Noak. “The
girls in our pageants ages vary from
2-26 and are really trained for Miss
America pageants.”
Winners of the pageant will re
ceive over $3,000. Miss TAMU will
receive a $1,000 scholarship and a
$1,000 wardrobe allowance. She
will also represent Texas A&M at
the Miss Texas Pageant in Ft.
Worth.
“We are the first and only school
in the SWC to send a representative
to Miss Texas,” Noak said. “Other
universities, such as North Texas,
Sam Houston and East Texas, just to
name a few, have campus pageants.
I have a feeling that other universi
ties in our conference will probably
catch on, too.”
Miss TAMU will spend July 6-12
in Ft. Worth to compete for the
Miss Texas title. All food, lodging
and transportation will be furnished
during the time. There also will be a
live telecast at the conclusion of the
pageant.
First runner-up for the Miss
TAMU Pageant will receive $400,
second runner-up will receive $300,
third runner-up will receive $200,
and fourth runner-up will receive
$100.
“The twenty contestants will each
have businesses sponsoring them,”
Noak said.
To enter the Miss TAMU
Pageant, applications will need to
be filled out and returned to the
Hospitality Committee by the end
of October.
“We ll then have a screening pro
cess with short interviews,” added
Noak. “Talent will also be dis
cussed. We 11 then select the 20 con
testants to be in the pageant.”
Talent, Noak says, is being
stressed more than beauty, and the
talent competition will count three
times as much as the beauty aspect.
“Talent is the key factor to any
pageant and so are the interviews,”
said Noak. “The interviews will be
on a university and collegiate level.
The talent section will be judged
closely because the judges are look
ing at a possible Miss Texas.”

Gulf Oil Corp., one of the nation’s
largest refiners and marketers of pe
troleum products, Tuesday reported
it earned $416 million in the third

profit for the same period a year
ago.
Gulf, headquartered in
Pittsburgh, reported the earnings
— $2.13 a share — on revenue of
$6.74 billion in the third quarter,

Bank hits lending rate hk
United Press International
NEW YORK — Morgan
Guaranty Trust Co., the nation’s
fifth largest bank, Tuesday raised its
prime lending rate for top corporate
borrowers a half point to an all-time
high of 15 percent.
Last week, U.S. banks increased
the benchmark rate by a full per
centage point — the largest jump in
history — to a record high of
percent.
The Federal Reserve Bm
tighter credit policy has put up
pressure on the prime and*
interest rates.
Morgan’s move to 15 peK
means steeper interest rates for
sumers on mortgages. The t
cost of money probably will*
