KTAM-TV. Saturday night she
will make an appearance at the

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).

lets are on the skip-a-day meal plan where

chicks are so hungry they have flown into
the feed bucket. Hartmangruber, a senior
poultry science major, is from San Antonio

“S in The Way Of Bikes!
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.
