for Saturday, Sunday
by Christie Johnson
Battalion Reporter
Although the Miss Texas
A&M Scholarship Pageant is
more than three months away,
preliminary tryouts will be held
Saturday and Sunday to select
20 candidates to compete for the
title. i
The pageant, sponsored by
the MSC Hospitality Commit
tee, will be held Feb. 25.
Monica German, contestant
coordinator, says participants in
preliminary tryouts will com
pete in talent and interview com
petitions.
The talent screening will be
Saturday from S a.m. to 7:30
p.m. in the Memorial Student
Center. Interviews with each ap
plicant will be conducted on
Sunday.
F ive judges have been chosen
to select the 20 candidates for
the Miss Texas A&M title. About
six alternates also will be
selected.
Names of the 20 contestants
chosen to compete in the
pageant will be posted on the
Student Programs Office win
dow in the MSC from 9 p.m. to
10 p.m. Sunday.

tryouts. However, she did say
there has been “a very good
turnout” of applicants.

The judges will look for parti
cular characteristics among the
women they will interview, Ger
man said.
“(The judges) want someone
who’s got their own opinions,
strongly believes in those opin
ions, and can back them up,” she
said.
German also said the 20 con
testants chosen to compete in
the pageant must have potential
to compete in the Miss Texas
Pageant. The winnej of the
Texas A&M pageant automatic
ally earns a chance to compete
for the title of Miss Texas.
“We believe there’s going to
be a good well-rounded com
petition this year,” German said.
“We have so many types of talent
and so many types of girls.”
Cierman said that in several
previous pageants there has
been a lack of variety in talent
selections performed by candi
dates. The talent portion of this
year’s pageant will include per
formances by French horn play
ers and opera singers.
German said contestants have
been told how to prepare for the
interview portion of preliminary
tryouts.
“They need to know a lot ab
out Texas A&M,” she said. “We
have also told contestants to sit
down, think of some of the ma
jor issues that have been going
on, and flat make an opinion on
the issue.”
