Dick had been hospitalized for several days after having suffered a mild heart attack, as well as facing other medical issues. Dick had served as a FWD leader in many capacities during his barbershop tenure. He will be missed. Russ Young FWD Executive VP “Dick was the glue that held PROBE together for many years. He served as Secretary/Treasurer, Layout & Reproduction judge, category specialist, bulle- tin editor (PROBEmoter), just to mention a few. He was one of a kind, giving selflessly of himself.

The chapter bulletin is one of the chapter’s best PR instru- ments as well as probably the most effective communication tool between board and membership. Ideally, every chapter should be exchanging bulletins with every other chapter—hard copy, not just on-line. Each chapter has its BB unique characteristics, reflecting the specific needs and interest of its membership, but share a common bond with other chapters experiencing similar problems. PP UU Exchanging bulletins is a very effective and efficient way for chapters to share with each other not only news about activities such as chapter shows, special performances and participation in inter-chapter, division, district RR LL and Society functions, but also how they’ve handled problems that challenge most chapters such as recruiting and retaining members. We need the hard-copy bulletin and we need to be able to distribute and/or mail it to our sup- OO LL porters, friends, members (former, inactive, active and prospective), District and Society officers, and our brother chapters. We need more bulletin editors and more members in our chapters who can assist in editing, preparing GG and distributing. EE The costs of printing and mailing bulletins today is prohibitive for many chapters, even if restricting mailing bul- RR letins to known friends and those chapters close by and distributing copies to active members by hand. A few have TT weekly news-sheets to keep members apprized of chapter activities and publish/mail bi-monthly or quarterly. Many chapters have gone to on-line bulletins only, some available on their website, others e-mailing copies to those ex- AA II pressing an interest. However, not every barbershopper owns a computer or is computer-literate. Further, as any computer user knows, there are times when either the computer or the printer is out of order, not working, or un- MM NN available. What’s the answer? Swap that bulletin! “It’s great to be a barbershop editor!” Alexander Edwards Page 2 July/Sept 2010 PROBEmoter PROBE President I’m sensing some apathy and igno- rance, which can be corrected.

  • 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.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.

    Makaila Nativdad Miss Hawaii’s Outstanding Teen 2019-2020 Hawaii Convention Center Lili’u Theater Sunday, May 2, 2021 Photo by: Paul Hayashi YOU COULD BE... Aloha kakou! Welcome to Miss Hawaii’s Outstanding Teen 2021. To the family and close friends who are anxiously waiting to actually see their teen compete in this limited-seating, live event, a heartwarming MAHALO! For those of you who were unable to join us and are reading this letter in our new digital Miss Hawaii’s Outstanding Teen 2021 Program Book, aloha! A noted Hawaii educator told me as we were faltering on whether MHIOT 2020 was actually going to happen, “This is a time when we need to make sure that the young adults do not miss out on all of the ways they can shine because of the virus. Hoping you all will figure out a way to find our newest young leader.” MHIOT 2020 did not happen, but her words resonated. So tonight is the culmination of the work our MHIOT team did throughout 2020. They confronted the many roadblocks of Covid, yet came up with unique and innovative ways to showcase our competition in order to find that young leader who will represent us and be that “star” for Hawaii’s teens in 2021! And they will shine because what you will see is a lot of grit and tons of determination that these 2022 candidates have shown throughout. Kalani, Shannia, Arahmae, Rheylie, Cheyenne, Alexis B., Glenzy, Ilima, Alexis K. and Faith – thank you. Mahalo for your commitment to the difficult task of preparing for MHIOT 2021.
