'Superman'
becomes
Mr. Ag '87
Restaurant Re
By Jill Raupe
Reporter
Craig Meek, a Dallas psychology
major dressed as Superman, was
crowned Mr. Aggie 1987 Wednes
day before about 150 people in the
MSC lounge.
The Mr. Aggie Contest “is a fun
type of promotional to give levity to
everything,” Bonne Bejarano, exec
utive director of the Miss Texas
A&M Scholarship Pageant, said.
“It’s everything you thought a
pageant was, but isn’t,” Bejarano
said.
The contest, a parody of the Miss
Texas A&M Scholarship Pageant,
was started by the MSC Hospitality
Committee in 1982.
The Mr. Aggie contestants —
Troy Ireland, Perry Eichor, Vic Pe-
tricka, Tom Supan and Craig Meek
— were introduced by master of cer
emonies James Johnson. Each con
testant wore a costume complement
ing a theme he chose. The emcee
read information about the contes
tant: his goals, his ideal date and his
plans if chosen as Mr. Aggie.
Perry “Safari Fred” Eichor, a mar
keting major from San Antonio, was
named second runner-up. Safari
Fred wore khaki shorts, a straw cow
boy hat, boots and a camouflage
shirt.
Tom “Melvin P.” Supan, a man
agement major from Plano, was
dressed as a nerd. His white shirt
hung out of the fly of his pants. His
too-short pants showed off his bright
white socks. His pocket pencil holcler
was filled with a dozen pens and
pencils. The bridge of his glasses was
wrapped with tape. While being in
troduced, he blew his nose on a long
piece of toilet papier.
Supan would look at the floor,
glance quickly at the audience and
then look away. He trippied twice —
while walking up the stairs to the
runway and while leaving.
Meek wore a Superman-type cos
tume of a white sweatshirt and
sweatpants, a maroon bikini bathing
suit and a cape monogrammed with
“Mr. Aggie.” His sweatsuit was
stuffed, giving him the “Superman”
look. He thrilled the females in the
audience when he flexed his stuf
fing.

David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the department,mn
taurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent opera
and facilities. He says restaurants with scores in the 70s or low
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says, because restaurantstzl
get the same score by having several minor violations or a few major
olations. He says the minor violations can be corrected durinelk
spection. Point deductions, or violations, in the report range tnm
point (minor violation) to five points (major violations).
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the
is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurant
adequate refrigeration, sewage is backed up in the building, therein
rant has a complete lack of sanitization for fcxxl equipment.

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Founder
of Ihe Transeendcniai Meditation Program
Dear Student,
T here's something you can do for a
short time each day that will im
prove every aspect of your life—
your grades, your future career, your rela
tionships. everything—a/I at the same
time. What's more, it's easy to do. Over
1.000.000 students have experienced the
benefits. And you can too.
You'll learn about it soon at a special
free lecture on the Transcendental Med
itation technique. This lively, entertaining
talk may well change your life.
My name is Kevin Blair. Tin president
of the student government at Maharishi
International University, where students,
faculty, and staff all practice the TM
technique. I want to tell you three things
about the upcoming lecture:
I At the lecture, you'll learn how the
simple, natural TM technique, which
is practiced 15-20 minutes twice a day.
brings profound benefits to mind and
body, and how these benefits automatical
ly improve one's social behavior, school
and job performance, and much more.
If
you really want to know
how to improve your grades,
your career, and your life
there’s an upcoming lecture
you shouldn’t miss.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
2 You'll also learn that more than 350
scientific research studies have been
done on TM worldwide over the past 15
years. Many of the research results are
directly relevant to your personal and
academic development as a student:
■ increased intelligence and learning
ability
■ improved comprehension,
concentration, and memory
■ improved academic performance
■ reduced stress and anxiety
■ inefeased happiness
■ improved interpersonal relationships
■ improved athletic performance
You can have these qualities growing in
your life too. simply as a result of prac
ticing the TM technique.
3 Finally, you'll learn that the TM tech
nique doesn't just help the individual.
Research has shown that when as little as
the square root of one percent of the
population of a city or nation practices the
TM program and its advanced aspects, the
entire population becomes more orderly,
peaceful, and progressive. This brings
great hope towards solving the age-old
problem of world peace.
IT WORKS!
I f you're wondering how one simple
technique can bring so many benefits
to mind. body, behavior, and even the
world as a whole, then attend the lecture.
The explanation you'll hear is at once
simple, scientific, and profound.
You'll hear, for example, about the unified
field of all the laws of nature as described
by modern physics and by ancient Vedie
science. And about how the TM technique
lets you experience the unified field within
your own consciousness, thereby bringing
you the support of all the laws of nature.
The main thing, however, is that TM
works. I know from my own experience.
I've been practicing the technique for fi
years, and it's made me more relaxed.yd
more dynamic and productive. Asa result;
I'm enjoying greater success—both in and
out of the classroom!
That's why I'm urging you to attendifc
free lecture. If oxen ten percent of what I*
said about TM proves to be true, think
what it could mean for your achievement
and happiness for the rest of your life.
The date and time of the lecture are
given below. 1 hope you'll he there. And
don't hesitate to bring your friends: you'll
be doinu a sireat thine for them as well!
Wishing-you success
in all that you do.
