Miss Tarleton pageant
to be held in March
TSU will offer the chance
of a lifetime to some local
coed as the university spon-
sors a Miss Tarleton State
University pageant with
the winner to advance to
the statewide Miss Texas
pageant and possibly earn
a trip to the Miss America
pageant.
Young women from the
ages of 17 to 26 who are
enrolled at TSU are eligible
for competition. Harv
Barkowsky and Mark
Kaiser, pageant general
chairmen, invite all in-
terested women to register.
Applications can be obtain-
ed at the Student Services
offices located on the TSU
campus in Davis Hall
beginning, Wednesday,
Jan. 19. Deadline for retur-
ning the application is
February 14.
To qualify, women must
be between the ages of 17
and 26 as of Labor Day this
year, must be a high school
graduate and must have
never been married.
Talent will be an impor-
tant part of the judging and
each contestant should
possess some quality of
talent, either trained or
potential. In discussing the
talent qualifications,
Kaiser and Barkowsky
stressed that the field is
varied and open to a
number of possibilities.
They pointed out that many
entrants in previous
pageants did not realize
they possessed a quality of
talent until they considered
entering the pageant.
In almost every national
Miss America pageant con-
ducted in Atlanta City, New
Jersey each fall, there
have been state queens who
have presented dramatic
readings, comedy
monologues, all styles of
singing and musical
presentations, and number
of other talents.
"Any potential entrant
may also have a talent
unrealized,'' said
Barkowsky, adding that a
young woman might be an
entertaining singer, for ex-
ample, without ever ex-
hibiting her singing ability
before an audience.
Judging of the can-
didates will be based on the
same values considered at
the Miss Texas pageant
held each summer in Fort
Worth, and at the Miss
America pageant.
Personality, poise, beau-
ty and talent are the major
requirements. Each con-
testant will be judged in a
private interview, in even-
ing gown competition,
swimsuit competition and
talent presentation.
The Tarleton pageant
will be held Saturday,
March 5 at 8 p.m. iii the
Clyde Wells Fine Arts
Center. Advancement to
the state and national
levels could mean scholar-
ships and other valuable
prizes.
Health Center moved
to new location
Dean Mike Leese has an-
nounced that the Student
Health Center has been
moved to the red brick
house between the Fine
Arts building and Wisdom
Gym. The house was
formerly the home of the
dean of men.
The center will maintain
the same hours as before, 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday. A doctor is
also available for students
from 12:15 until 1:45 five
days a week.
The old Health Center
will be used as offices and
classrooms for students in
TSU's nursing program.

I
The TSU Special Events
Committee will host a
Japanese musical fantasy
on Feb. 4 at 8.p.m. in the
Fine Arts Center
Auditorium.
The fantasy, entitled
Shiro, uses the device of
time travel to unite a
neon-lit 1983 Tokyo disco
to the roots of Zen and
the spirit of the samurai in
the early 17th century.
Shiro features a east of
35 actors, singers and
musicians along with
hundreds of costumes.
Brilliant colors and fogs
are used to enhance the
visual effect of the play.
Much of Shiro's impact is
derived from the use of
contemporary music
combined with ancient
Japanese instruments such
as the koto, shamisan and
bamboo flute.
The play is produced
by Tokyo Kid Brothers,
one of Japan's leading
touring theatre companies.
Shiro has played at La
Mama in New York and at
the Terrace Theatre of the
Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in
Washington, D.C. Bill
Fegan Attractions of
Dallas, in cooperation with
the Kennedy Center, is
presenting the first
coast-to-coast tour of the
light, sound and color
fantasy.
