MSC Council to consider lounge abuse Saturday Two other Aggies vying for Miss USA preliminary title Less than a month ago, Sheri Ryman, a Texas A&M student, was crowned Miss Texas. She will represent the state in the Miss Amer ica pageant on Sept. 12. Now, two more students will compete for the title of Miss Texas, but the winner of this crown will compete in the Miss USA pageant. The Miss America and Miss USA franchises are two separate en tities. The televised Miss Texas pageant will be held Monday in El Paso. Teddy Herron, a 21-year-oldjunior accounting major from Humble, will compete as Miss Bryan-College Station. Ellen Umbach, a 22-year-old senior education major from Hous ton, will represent Brazos Valley. 102 women from across the state will be vying for the Miss Texas title, $30,000 in awards and the right to represent the Lone Star state in the 1982 Miss USA pageant, which will be held next May. The MSC Council Saturday will hear an update on a proposal to establish a policy to prohibit abuse of two MSC lounges. The policy calls for prohibitirig food and drink in the Schweitz lounge, located across from the MSC main desk, and the Serpen tine lounge, located on the second floor of the MSC. The proposal was raised to con trol abuse of the lounges by groups of students playing war games. Employees from the main desk and custodial services complained of students moving furniture and participating in horseplay. As a result of last month’s dis cussion concerning abuse of the lounges, the council put up signs prohibiting food and drinks in the lounge. MSC Council President Doug Dedeker said the council will also hear a proposal from the Interna tional Student Association re questing that they be non-voting members of the council. The rep resentative from the ISA would have speaking rights at council meetings, but not voting rights. Also, the newly crowned Miss Texas, Sheri Ryman will “stop by for awhile and talk to the council and we ll welcome her back to Texas A&M,’’ said Dedeker. The council will meet Saturday at 10 a.m. in the MSC Council Conference room (Room 216t).

Although less well-known than his contemporary revolutionaries Villa and Emilian Zapata, Obre gon always stood out as the orga nizer, the peacemaking man of reason and the unifier, Hall said. However, the way in which he accomplished reunification in the face of the power struggles in cen tral and northern Mexico has nev er been studied in detail until now. Hall’s book is written in a scho larly style, but includes a number of vignettes that lend a human ele ment to the study of history. An example is the search for Obre- gon’s right arm, blown off by a shell explosion at the Battle of Leon in 1915 against Villa’s forces. The new book also provides a map and dozens of photographs from the period including one famous 1916 pose featuring Obre gon flanked by his former enemy Villa, U.S. Army Gen, John “Black Jack” Pershing and Per shing’s military aide and future American hero, George S. Patton. iy'. SHIPMENT JUST ARRIVED!! 4 DAYS ONLY THURS., AUG. 6 - SUN., AUG. 9 A New Shipment of Fall Wicker Has Just Arrived and It’s All On Sale!
