Twenty contestants will compete in evening gowns, swimsuits and talent for the opportunity to represent Texas A&M University. Before selection to participate in the pageant finals, applicants must pass a preliminary screen ing where they perform their talent and answer questions concerning current events. Kelly McElroy, the 1980-81 Miss Texas A&M, said there is an interview with a panel of judges. Some are related to the school, while others are from the community, she said. The secondary education major said the pageant could be more accurately described as a talent pageant, rather than a scholarship pageant, since 50 percent of the scores depend on talent. The other 50 percent comes from the interview. McElroy, who thinks its unfair that pageant contestants are stereotyped as having no brains said, “First of all, it’s not a beauty pageant and that’s part of the stereotype. It’s a scholarship pageant. “In the Miss America pageant they’re real stick lers about not wanting beauty entering into it. If you look on a score sheet (at Texas A&M),” she said, “there is no place for beauty.” A $1,000 scholarship is awarded to the winner, “As far as how the scholarship is awarded,” she said, “it’s up to the local franchise.” In other words, a franchise could give the money directly to the winner, or it could apply the money to her tuition. The Texas A&M pageant is affiliated with the Miss America pageant, which is incorporated and has its main office in Atlantic City, N.J. The winner of this pageant will represent Texas A&M at the Miss Texas pageant held in Fort Worth. McElroy said the Miss America pagent is the largest foundation for scholarships to women. “Anything to furthur the education for women, I’m all for it,” she said. The swimsuit competition, she said, is to show “physical fitness and to see how the person, who is representative of Texas A&M, cares about how they look, how well-groomed they are.” As far as stereotyping girls who enter pageants, McElroy said, “There are stereotypes in ever- thing. It will take a while for people to overcome these things. If you’ve watched any of the Miss America winners on talk shows, they’re very in telligent.” Circle K presents three with club pins, keeps annual ‘week’ By KAREN KALEY Battalion Reporter Circle K International’s ulti mate goal is to create a sense of caring in people by helping others, said Steve Fairfield, gov ernor of Circle K’s district chapter. Circle K, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, is the largest col legiate service organization in the nation with 13,000 members and 750 branch clubs throughout the United States and Canada. This week is the 13th annual observance of Circle K Week by a 1980 proclamation of Congress. The club initiates various fund raising projects for national char ities such as the American Heart Association, said Clark Haley, loc al president of Circle K. Circle K also works with dis advantaged, orphaned and delin quent children, senior citizens, the mentally retarded and the handicapped, he added. In an informal meeting in the Memorial Student Center last week, Haley presented interna tional Circle K club pins to Dr. John Koldus, vice president of stu dent services, Dr. Malon Suther land, assistant to the president, and Brad Smith,* student body president. You can t do more than be of service to other human beings,” Koldus said. Texas A&M University’s Circle K club has 38 members, Lloyd Stout, vice president of Circle K, said. Dues are $8 a year. Circle K membership is open to those who are interested in help ing their fellow man, Stout said. During Circle K week the club is raising money through a jump- a-thon, a bake sale and a pancake breakfast with the Kiwanis club, Haley said. ^MSC AGGIE The second before she screams will be the most frightening moment of your life.

RHA to look at housing polices for fifth years At their regular meeting in 209 Harrington Wednesday at 7 p.m., Residence Halls Association members were to continue discus sion of the proposed transition program for fifth-year seniors and graduate students.

Koldus, vice president for student services, and Dr. Charles Samson, acting president of Texas A&M University, would put a microwave oven and a toas ter oven in each of two study car rels sometime this semester. Balcar said RHA would like to see kitchenettes in all dorms if the Mosher project is successful.
