Miss Texas-USA ’87 honored in Bryan, given key to city By Melanie Perkins Staff Writer Miss Texas-USA 1987 received the key to the City of Bryan Thurs day in a ceremony presided over by Mayor Marvin Tate. Tate proclaimed Thursday to be Michelle Renee Royer Day as he pre sented her with the key and certifi cate in a conference room in the Bryan Utilities Building. Royer was in the area on her third stop in a 10-day tour of Texas as a promotion for Subaru. Though she has been given the keys to several cities, Royer said this was only the second day proclaimed in her honor. The first was in her hometown of Keller upon her victo rious return from the pageant. Royer said she felt lucky to have stopped in Bryan-College Station. “When I go to the Miss USA Pag eant, I feel I will know a little bit more about Texas,” she said. Royer said she has several friends who go to Texas A&M and she has been here once before for an Aggie football game. “The Aggies won,” she said, “and I think it was because of all the sup port. I had lots of fun.” Royer is a sophomore at Tarrant County Junior College in Fort Worth, but said she wants to study medicine and will consider attending A&M when her reign is complete. II she wins the Miss USA Pageant — as the past two Miss Texas-USAs have — she said she will have to put off college for another year, hut says she feels it would be worth it. “Pageants are part of what made me the person I am today,” she said. “They gave me confidence and back bone.” Royer said she’s learned more about herself and about people in general in the past four months of her reign as Miss Texas-USA than she could have learned in school. “1 realized I had other talents,” she said. “I didn’t necessarily have to perform on stage to have a talent.” Royer got involved in pageants when she was a senior in high school. “I got an application in the mail for a teen pageant,” she said, “and since I was bored over the Christmas holidays, I filled out the application and mailed it in.” Royer was first runner-up out of 52 girls in that pageant. She contin ued to enter pageants because she found them a good way to earn scholarship money. Royer now is speaking and travel ing on behalf of the sponsors of the pageant, and preparing to compete in the Miss USA Pageant on Feb. 17. After receiving the key to the city, Royer had lunch in Cain Hall, visited St. Joseph Hospital’s children’s ward and signed autographs. Houston police arrest 16 in Houston car-theft ‘sting’ HOUSTON (AP) — Area author ities arrested 16 people who were al legedly fooled into selling stolen cars to officers who were posing as fences in a sting operation that netted $850,000 in stolen vehicles. Another 13 people, who police said also sold them stolen cars, were already in jail on unrelated charges, investigators said. They said four others caught in the sting operation Wednesday remained at large. been stolen from homes and busi- Police said the suspects were re corded on hidden video cameras when they allegedly sold stolen cars to undercover officers at the PDQ Sales in southwest Houston. The 33 people — six women and 27 men — were indicted on charges of auto theft in a 77-count indict ment unsealed Wednesday. The operation resulted in the re covery of 69 cars, most of which had nesses. The suspects were willing to ac cept a meager price for their stolen goods because of the convenience of getting rid of them quickly, police said. Most of the cars were sold less than an hour after stealing them. “It was clear profit on their end,” one undercover officer said. “It cost them nothing to steal the cars.” For instance, a $27,000 Cadillac with 1,500 miles was bought for only $400. More than half the cars were late- model Camaros and Firebirds, and all the vehicles ranged in retail price from $3,500 to $27,000. Police were able to purchase the cars at an aver age of $250, and no vehicle went for more than $500, authorities said. The operation cost about $ 18,500, most of which was used to buy the stolen cars, officials said. 1 800 442 4799 ext 831 Grimes County Chrysler Plymouth Dodge is now offering. 3.9% Financing or] $500 Cash Back on all ’Sy trucks and K-Cars **Ftuuncing for qualified retail buyera through Chryaler Credit Cor|>orati«m on new dealer stock.
