Representatives from 12 Texas
A&M sororities will participate in
Delta Sigma Phi fraternity’s Miss
Greek A&M Pageant tonight at 7 in
Rudder Auditorium.
Proceeds from the pageant will
benefit Phoebe’s Home, a shelter in
Bryan for battered women. Uri Gre-
va, faculty adviser for Delta Sigma
Phi, said Phoebe’s Home was se
lected as the charity so the women
in the pageant can help women in
the community.
“We wanted a local charity
where the money could go directly
to the charity and avoid red tape,"
he said. “It makes a direct impact
on the community and is women
helping women.”
Jeremy Newton, director of the
pageant for Delta Sigma Phi and a
senior management major, said the
women participating are evaluated
prior to the pageant. The evalua
tions are based on the participants’
resumes, grade point ratios and the
percentage of pageant revenue
each sorority contributed.
Newton said the resumes were
evaluated on the levels of commu
nity involvement, sorority involve
ment, academic achievement and
involvement in other A&M activi
ties by national level
Phi members.

The Battalion
(AP) — Pregnant women who
smoke cigarettes or use cocaine
have a higher risk of miscarriage,
the most common problem of preg
nancy, a study has found.
While other studies have sug
gested a link, this was the first to use
hair and urine testing to determine
women’s drug use and smoking, in
stead of relying on their own re
ports.
“One of the things we have
learned from this study is that self-
reporting is far from perfect,” said
Dr. Roberta Ness, of the University
of Pittsburgh School of Public
Health, lead author of the study re
ported in Thursday’s New England
Journal of Medicine.
Smokers are almost twice as like
ly to miscarry as nonsmokers, and
cocaine users are nearly one-and-a-
half times as likely to miscarry as
nonusers, according to the study.
About 15 percent of pregnancies
end in spontaneous abortions treat
ed by doctors, but many women do
not seek medical care for early mis
carriage.
The researchers looked at 970
women who sought emergency
room treatment for miscarriage or
other problems at the Hospital of the
University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia while they were less
than 22 weeks pregnant. Most of the
women were black, poor, single and
had not received prenatal care.
Four hundred suffered a miscar
riage, while 570 carried their preg
nancies beyond 22 weeks.
Hair sample tests showed nearly
29 percent of the women who mis
carried had used cocaine, compared
to 20 percent of women with con
tinuing pregnancies. Urine tests
showed about 35 percent of the
women who miscarried were smok-
