  • Miss America 1971 Vietnam
    From the S&S archives: Vietnam crown of Miss America's reign ByMIKE KELLER Stars and Stripes Published: September 2, 1971 Phyllis George, Miss America of 1971, visits the 1st Air Cavalry Division's Fire Support Base Mace. MIKE KELLER / ©S&S SAIGON — She has traveled 320,000 miles and visited 43 U.S. states in the last year, but she liked Vietnam best of all. So says Miss America 1971 — Phyllis George — who called her trip to Vietnam the highlight of her reign. But, Miss George — who turns in her crown and title in less than two weeks — expressed the hope that no future Miss America would have to visit Vietnam. "I hope this is the last USO tour that has to come here," she said. "I hope they bring our guys home — I guess most people do." Miss George and six state beauty pageant winners spent most of August visiting U.S. troops in Vietnam. The girls were scheduled to leave in early September. "This has been an outstanding way to end a year," Miss George said. "The guys here have made it rewarding for us." The 22-year-old brown-eyed brunette said this was the first time she had entertained in a combat zone. "The best part was before and after the shows when we could rap with the guys and sign autographs," she said. ADVERTISEMENT Miss George said she got a good impression of American servicemen here. "Prom what the stateside newspapers say you think these guys are all shammers, loafers, juicers and heads — that they won't do as they're told.

  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.
