“The idea of ‘Dorm Police’

“They (the faculty) are trying to

If passed, the revised smoking

20 contestants
set to compete
in A&M pageant
By Joe Segovia
Reporter
The MSC Pageant Committee is
making final preparations for the
9th Annual Miss Texas A&M Schol
arship Pageant.
This year’s pageant, entitled
“Some Enchantea Evening,” will be
held at Rudder Auditorium Satur
day at 7 p.m. Tickets, which are $4
for students and $7.50 and $10 for
the general public, are available at
the MSC Box Office and through
Ticketron outlets. The special guest
will be Natalie Evetts.
The 20 contestants have been pre
paring for the pageant — a local pre
liminary to both the Miss Texas and
Miss America pageant systems — by
attending workshops and seminars
in poise, walking, makeup and over
all appearance, executive director
Lauri Progreba said.
In addition, contestants have been
working out, refining their talents
and preparing for vigorous ques
tions on campus, national and world
events through mock interviews, she
said.
Sherry Ryman, Miss Texas A&M
and Miss Texas in 1982, and Cindy
Green-Weber, Miss Texas A&M and
first runner-up to Miss Texas in
1983, will judge the contest, Pro
greba said.
The competition is broken into a
talent score that counts for 50 per
cent of the total and contests in
swimsuit, evening gown and inter
view for another 50 percent.
Awards for this year’s winner will
include a $1,000 scholarship to
A&M, a $1,000 wardrobe allowance
for the Miss Texas Pageant, a one-
year membership for ShapeWay and
TANU, a Cadillac from Allen Olds
Cadillac for official pageant use, the
official Miss Texas A&M pendant,
which is worth $5,000, and the offi
cial trophy and crown.
Pageant funds in the past have
been generated by committee staff
members through the sale of
sponsorships to local organizations
and businesses for $275, one for
each contestant.
In addition, this year the commit
tee is receiving $5,000 in student
service fees, which- are given to the
MSC and divided among several
committees.
Promotions for the pageant began
Feb. 13th at Post Oak Mall with con
testants handing out Hershey’s
Kisses. Contestants performed their
talents Friday in the MSC Flag Koom
for Focus On the Performing Arts
week. Contestants again gave pre
views of their talents at Post Oak
Mall on Saturday.
Balloons were given out in the
MSC Flag Room by contestants
Monday at noon. They also modeled
new spring fashions at the MSC
Hospsitality Fashion Show on Tues
day.
The men of Texas A&M will com
pete for the title of Mr. Aggie, a fa
vorite promotion in the past, today
at 11 a.m. in the MSC.
Promotions will conclude Thurs
day with the MSC Talent Preview at
noon.
Promotions director Jodie Ogle
said she thinks promotions play an
important part in attracting atten
tion to the pageant.
“I feel promotions help in getting
the word out to the public,” Ogle
said. “They get the community more
involved and more aware of what’s
going on.”
The preparation and hard work
began last October, with the fall se
mester devoted mostly to obtaining
funds and the spring semester to
getting final production details set,
Progreba said.
She said the staff had worked
hard to put together a good pro
gram.
“Pageant staff has some really
dedicated people, and it takes a
whole team working together,” Pro
greba said.
Primary may draw
record numbers
AUSTIN (AP) — More than
500.000 Texas voters have been
added to the rolls in advance of the
March 8 Super Tuesday primary
and Secretary of State Jack Rains
predicted the state may see a record
primary election turnout.
"I think it's safe to say we expect
record turnout for primary vote and
we expect near or approaching par-
ity on the turnout between the two
parties,” Rains said Tuesday.
Texas is the largest state partici
pating in the 20-state Super Tuesday
primary and will send the third-larg-
est delegation to the Republican and
Democratic national conventions
this summer.
Rains, a Republican, predicted
that between 750,000 and 1 million
voters will participate in the Demo
cratic primary and a like number in
the COP election.
“The Texas Poll . . . predicted that
as manv people would vote in the
Republican primary as in the Demo
cratic primary," Rains said. "If that
were to occur, it would be a historic
first."
He said the actual sole could go
higher in either party, possibly to a
total March 8 turnout ol 2.5 million.
The highest primary election
turnout in past years was 1.97 mil
lion in 1978, a spokesman for the
secretary of state's of fice said.
Texans don’t register by party, so
it is impossible to know for sure how
many voters identify with each, offi
cials noted.
Rains said the first phase of his of
fice's voter registration drive, which
ended earlier this month, signed up
528,817 additional voters for a total
of 7.87 million. That’s 64.3 percent
of the 12.23 million eligible. Rains
said.
The 7.87 million total is a 7.2 per
cent increase over March 1987 regis-
tration, which totaled 7.34 million.
Rains said.
The registration drive will con
tinue through October, and Rains
said he remains confident his goal of
1 million new registered voters can
be reached by then.
“We’re halfway to our goal,” he
said. “The big show is yet to come.”
Four counties — Harris, Dallas,
Bexar and Travis — are still count
ing registrations, officials said.
When done, those may add as many
as 25,000 voters to the rolls.
Rains said many groups deserve
credit for the voter registration drive
— which saw more than 5 million
registration cards distributed — in
cluding the Democratic and Repub
lican parties, the AFL-CIO, League
of Women Voters and others.

Legislator-citizen committee works on handling juveniles
I I AUSTIN (AP) — A legislator-citi-
ftn committee started work Tuesday
fchow to handle juveniles who com-
|it crimes, with a co-chairman tell-
Ig members that development of a
gjood system could save Texas bil-
Wnsof dollars.
Sen. Bill Sarpalius also said he
hoped the Senate Select Committee
on the Juvenile Justice System would
focus on other juvenile issues, such
as child abuse, teen-age pregnancies
and AIDS, acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome.
Sarpalius, D-Canyon, and co-
chairman Susan Bush of Athens ad
dressed the 12-member committee
at the first of a series of monthly
meetings scheduled to end in Au
gust.
Texas’ prison population has
grown by 137 percent since 1972
and is the third largest in the world,
Sarpalius said. Other states with
growing prison populations have
concentrated “a lot of efforts at the
heart of the problem and that’s deal
ing with juvenile reform,” he said.
