Ryman visited the campus Monday to speak at the 90th annual American Society for Engineering Education confer ence. Ryman will relinquish her crown next month at the Miss Texas Pageant, and begin her “life after Miss Texas,” as she calls it. Reflecting on her reign as Miss Texas, Ryman said she probably got the most pleasure from being around children. “Honestly, I think the fun nest thing about being Miss Texas is seeing the little girls’ eyOs light up when they see the crown,” she said. “I love chil dren. I think back to when I was a little girl, if I would have seen Miss Texas or somebody, I’d think ‘Wow, that’s Miss Texas.’ And so I know it means a lot to the little girls.” Ryman said she has had many memorable experiences during the past year, including travell ing to Colorado and North Dakota with other state queens she has gained so mudil be i n g i n t he M iss Texas and!

When she was 17, she said, a woman contacted her ab out being in a Miss America pre liminary pageant.

A PAIN IN THE BACK IS NOT NORMAL AGGIE BLOOD DRIVE MONDAY, JUNE 28 AND TUESDAY, JUNE 29 LOCATION: How many people do you know who complain of back pain? How many people do you know who cannot do their best at their jobs, their sports or at just simply enjoy ing life because of gnawing pain in their backs? Perhaps you suffer this malady.

So you can imagine what it is cost ing in poor performance and real dollars. Not all back problems are due to severe strains or dramatic acci dents. There are times when a rela tively innocent act such as stepping off a curbstone or lifting a pencil from the floor is sufficient cause for back pain. Unexpected, awkward and off-balance movements of any kind can cause back pain and sci atica. This is because the pain may be the symptom of a spinal disor der compounded by a structural weakness. ) the P US WADLEY CENTRAL BLOOD BANK Let’s look at some typical incidents. Mr. Jones’ car was bumped from behind. He suffers back pain. Mr. Miller lifted a heavy box at work. Pains of mysterious origins may be caused by spinal insults. Some times the symptoms of the back problem appear immediately, al lowing the victim to correlate cause and effect. However, sometimes days or even months pass before pain appears, causing the victim to seek treatment for conditions other than the causative spinal disorder. Persistent or recurring aches f lower back and limbs may si a possible lower spinal or ft problem.
