The Miss Texas A&M Scholarship
Pageant is not a beauty contest, said
Miss Texas A&M Kim Walters at
Sully’s Symposium Wednesday.
“Pageants aren’t just meat shows,”
Walters said.
The pageant provides schol
arships for women with strong aca
demic and athletic abilities, as well as
those talented in other areas, she
said.
The winner must be poised, intel
ligent, talented and physically fit.
“The swimsuit competition, for
example, is not to see if a girl just has
a good figure,” she said. “It’s to see if
she is confident and proud enough
to be physically fit, as well as poised
enough to walk on a stage in a
swimsuit.”
Walters said only 25 percent of
judging is devoted to the evening
gown and swimsuit competitions.
The interviews with the 20 finalists
account for 25 percent of the
judging totals.
“The interview can be really invol
ved,” she said. “It can cover such
subjects as current events, contro
versial issues or Aggie traditions.”
Intelligence is an important fac
tor, Walters said. Past winners such
as Sherri Ryman have had grade-
point ratios as high as 3.8 on a scale
of 4.0.
Some of the benefits that Walters
received as Miss Texas A&M include
the use of a maroon and white Cadil
lac and a $3,000 Texas-shaped di
amond and gold pendant. The pen
dant will be passed down to the
winner of this year’s pageant.

Walters said she thinks Miss Texas
A&M is important to the University
because she is the only visual female
representative.
“I didn’t want to set myself apart,”
Walters said. “Sometimes it’s hard
for a student leader to remember
they’re just another student.”

Walters said Miss Texas A&M has
prestige at the Miss Texas Pageant
because of the support from stu

A&M is also the only major school
in Texas to send a contestant to the
Miss T exas Pageant.
This year’s pageant will be Feb. 23
