i Page 4/The Battalion/Tuesday, December 6,1983 Gina Harlow chosen as Cotton Bowl rep by Tricia Parker Battalion Reporter Gina Harlow will watch the Cotton Bowl half-time from a different perspective than most other spectators. While most will watch it from the living room, or if they’re lucky, from the stands, Harlow will be down on the field. Harlow is Texas A&M’s rep resentative to the Cotton Bowl. Harlow was chosen last month to represent Texas A&M at the various luncheons, balls and banquets that go on during the Cotton Bowl weekend. Har low is a junior marketing and advertising major from Irving. All Southwest conference schools send a student to repre sent them at Cotton Bowl events such as parties and parades. The representatives have their pic tures printed in the program and are present on the field dur ing the naif-time festivities. The representatives will be in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl from Dec. 29 through Jan. 2, says Charlotte Taylor, a student acti vities adviser. “Most schools send their homecoming queens,” she said. “Since we don’t have one, we go through a different process.” Taylor says applicants first fil led out applications then attended an interview with a panel of five judges. “We were looking basically for a well-rounded girl,” Taylor says. “We wanted someone who would represent A&M well in a lot of areas. We looked for leadership, how well they com municate, tact and poise, as well as appearance.” Taylor says the judges also looked at the women’s majors, career goals and activities. Sixty- five students applied. “We feel Cina is an excellent choice,” Taylor says. “She’s very involved on campus, particular ly in RHA. She’s chairman of Casino this year. Robert Crouch, a member of the Twelfth Man kick-off team was a judge for the pageant. He says the contest was not based on beauty alone. “Too many people base it on physical appearance alone,” Crouch says. “We want her to be respectable and to show people what Aggies are like.” Harlow says she is not bothered by the stereotype of beauty queens lacking brains. Harlow’s grade-point ratio is above a 3.0. Crouch says Harlow really stood out because of her self- confidence. “Gina came into the interview and really sold herself,” he says. “The last beauty contest I en tered was when I was two years old,” Harlow says. “I walked off the stage Miss Physical Culture.” She says she applied to repre sent Texas A&M because she thought it would be fun. “I didn’t do it because I thought it would be easy," Har low says. “I put everything into whatever I do. I did it because I thought it would be ; perience.
