At the Sheraton Brook Hollow Ho tel in Houston Saturday night, Texas A&M junior journalism major Tiffany Grant won the state-level Miss Black and Gold Pageant. Grant, who was also recognized for “Best Talent,” said the 13 con testants were evaluated in an intro duction, a question-and-answer ses sion, a swimsuit competition, a talent competition and an interview session. Grant said as reigning pageant winner, she will work with contestants at next year’s state and local level. She said students get involved in the pageant by attending an infor mational meeting held each fall se mester, applying and interviewing. Grant said she believes the Black and Gold Pageant represents an up lifting experience for African-Ameri can women on college campuses. She said she was proud to rep resent A&M in the state competition. “And I love Texas, so I’ll be even prouder to represent it in the re gional competition," she said. The regional competition will be March 25-27 in Lafayette, La.
