MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION 2015 By: Senator(S) Burton, Butler (38Th), Carmichael, Clarke, Frazier, Hopson, H MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION 2015 By: Senator(s) Burton, Butler (38th), To: Rules Carmichael, Clarke, Frazier, Hopson, Horhn, Jackson (11th), Jolly, Jackson (32nd), Montgomery, Norwood, Simmons (12th), Simmons (13th), Stone, Watson, Wilemon SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 518 1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING JASMINE 2 MURRAY OF COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI, UPON BEING CROWNED MISS 3 MISSISSIPPI 2014 AND FOR BEING THE FIRST TOP 10 FINALIST IN THE 4 MISS AMERICA PAGEANT FROM MISSISSIPPI SINCE 2006. 5 WHEREAS, Jasmine Murray, 22, of Columbus, Mississippi, was 6 crowned Miss Mississippi 2014 on Saturday, July 12, 2014, at the 7 Vicksburg Convention Center, capturing the No. 1 spot sought after 8 by a competitive field of young ladies who competed for the 9 coveted title to represent Mississippi in the Miss America 10 Pageant. The 22-year-old Columbus native competed as Miss 11 Riverland and won a $10,000 scholarship. Murray had competed in 12 the pageant three consecutive years and was First Runner-Up in 13 2012; and 14 WHEREAS, as Miss Mississippi, Jasmine represented the State 15 of Mississippi at the 94th Miss America Pageant at historic 16 Atlantic City, New Jersey, on September 14, 2014, where the 17 American tradition began in 1921. Murray was the first Top 10 18 Finalist in the Miss America Pageant from Mississippi since 2006, 19 when Taryn Foshee was third-runner up. According to those who S. C. R. No. 518 *SS01/R23* ~ OFFICIAL ~ N1/2 15/SS01/R23 PAGE 1 (tb\rc) 20 attended the pageant, it was a shock that the judges didn't seem 21 to see what so much of the rest of America saw. While Miss 22 Mississippi Jasmine Murray was not in the top five at the Miss 23 America Pageant, her loyal following definitely decided she's 24 their Miss America anyway. Murray was a Quality of Life Award 25 Finalist for her platform, "13 Going On 30," which encourages 26 young girls to embrace their age and not grow up so fast; and 27 WHEREAS, Miss Mississippi Jasmine Murray's platform isn't 28 just something to promote as a beauty queen and pageant winner. 29 Rather, it's something she wants to promote nationwide and 30 hopefully work with as a career. The 22-year-old Mississippi 31 State University student from Columbus said she would like to see 32 her platform "13 Going On 30: Teaching Young Girls to Embrace 33 Their Age" adopted by the Boys and Girls Club of America and used 34 on a national level; and 35 WHEREAS, named after the movie "13 Going On 30," Murray's 36 platform aims to encourage teens to find mentors and role models 37 who can help them make decisions that will keep them out of 38 trouble. Murray said she was inspired by friends who became 39 teenage mothers and had to put their dreams on hold. Through her 40 motivational camps and speaking engagements, Jasmine has reached 41 out to hundreds of young women on the subjects of peer pressure, 42 bullying and making good choices; and 43 WHEREAS, in addition to churches and civic organizations, 44 Murray has promoted her platform at Boys and Girls Club camps and S. C. R. No. 518 *SS01/R23* ~ OFFICIAL ~ 15/SS01/R23 PAGE 2 (tb\rc) 45 she would like to see the message passed along all over the state 46 and, ultimately, the nation; and 47 WHEREAS, a broadcast communications major, Murray said she 48 knows she wants to continue to chase that dream long after Miss 49 Mississippi and Miss America have passed; and 50 WHEREAS, Jasmine is best known for her run in season eight of 51 "American Idol." As a 16-year-old junior at the Mississippi 52 School of Arts in Brookhaven, she advanced to the top 13 of the 53 singing competition. During that time, many across the state and 54 South rallied behind her. She was in a similar position in the 55 Miss America Pageant and handled it with grace and humility; and 56 WHEREAS, Jasmine began to sing at age 3. "Ultimately my 57 inspiration and strength have come from my faith," she said. 58 "Music is another source of deep inspiration. It is a way of 59 communicating that everyone understands. Music is a language of 60 itself, that transcends everything"; and 61 WHEREAS, Jasmine's family includes her mother, Lisa, three 62 sisters and one brother. All of her sisters attended Mississippi 63 State University and her brother went to their rival, Ole Miss; 64 and 65 WHEREAS, it is with great pride that we recognize this young 66 Mississippi citizen who has brought honor and pride to her family, 67 community, and the entire State of Mississippi: 68 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF 69 MISSISSIPPI, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN, That S. C. R. No. 518 *SS01/R23* ~ OFFICIAL ~ 15/SS01/R23 PAGE 3 (tb\rc) 70 we do hereby commend and congratulate Jasmine Murray upon being 71 crowned Miss Mississippi 2014 and for being the first Top 10 72 Finalist in the Miss America Pageant from Mississippi since 2006 73 and extend sincerest wishes for continued success. 74 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this resolution be presented to 75 Jasmine Murray and made available to the members of the Capitol 76 Press Corps. S. C. R. No. 518 *SS01/R23* ~ OFFICIAL ~ 15/SS01/R23 ST: Commend and congratulate Jasmine Murray PAGE 4 (tb\rc) upon being crowned Miss Mississippi 2014 and as Top 10 Finalist in Atlantic City. .

  • There Was a L Oud, Gurgling Groan. Somebody Shouted, “Oh My Gosh
    There w as a l oud, g urgling g roan. S omebody shouted, “Oh my gosh!

  • Vote of No Confidence and a Demand for the Immediate Resignation of the Entire Miss America Board of Trustees and President/Ceo
    VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AND A DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF THE ENTIRE MISS AMERICA BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT/CEO We, the undersigned state licensees of the Miss America Organization (MAO), represent all areas of the United States, decades of leadership, and innumerable contributions to the legacy of the Miss America Organization at every level. As dedicated members of our state and local communities who lend our reputations, financial support, and voluntary efforts to facilitate MAO’s long and powerful mission of empowering women to stand up and speak out, we find ourselves needing to use our own voices of leadership to express our profound disappointment regarding what, in our view, is the failed leadership of the entire MAO Board of Trustees led by Ms. Gretchen Carlson as its Chair and Ms. Regina Hopper as its President and CEO. The recent ouster of two duly elected Trustees, followed by the resignations of two elected Miss Americas from the nine-member Board, have underscored our grave concerns regarding the direction in which MAO is headed, its financial viability, and the expected exercise of all duties attendant to each Trustee as required by law. We were promised transparency, competence, and adherence to best practices and good governance. The current Trustees and identified staff member have both individually and collectively failed to deliver on those promises and commitments. In our opinion their leadership has demonstrated that “Miss America 2.0” is simply a new title for the same old tactics of obfuscation and fear-based governance. THEREFORE, we the undersigned state licensees expressly declare NO CONFIDENCE IN THE ENTIRE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE PRESIDENT/CEO.

    TRASHionals 12 Round 9 Toss-Ups 1. [AUDIO] TWO ANSWERS REQUIRED. For ten points, name the 1990 song and artist: [Track #34] Answer: "Groove Is In the Heart" by Deelite 2. The name of a South Korean variety show from 2003-2007 in which viewers often submitted pieces of trivia, while the Detroit rock band of this name released Rotting Piñata in 1994. Harold Brown of 3M created the "bug" version of these created from polyether reinforced with polyethylene, which since 1974 has been a huge but relatively quiet success, and the rubber ball type of them is used for cleaning tubes. In food, it's another name for a bread starter, while an aunt by this name is the morbidly obese relation of James in a Roald Dahl novel about a large piece of fruit. For ten points, identify this product, the contraceptive version of which prompted Elaine Benes to run her then-boyfriend Billy through an examination to see if he was worthy of one when they were discontinued. Answer: Sponges 3. He was undrafted out of Illinois, but made the most of his free agent signing by beating out Antonio Pittman for a roster spot. He mostly saw duty on special teams in his rookie year of 2007, scoring his first touchdown off of a botched punt return by the Seahawks, but he started the last game of the season due to a rash of injuries. In that game he became the first player in his team's history to get 100 yards rushing and receiving, doing so against the Bears.

  • MISS AMERICAN Methodist: Twentieth-Century Beauty Pageants AS Christian MISSION Christopher J. Anderson Since 1921, the Miss
    Methodist History, 56:2 (January 2018) MISS AMERICAN METHODIST: TWENTIETH-CENTURY BEAUTY PAGEANTS AS CHRISTIAN MISSION Christopher J. Anderson Since 1921, the Miss America pageant has become a coveted and con- troversial showcase of young women from locations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.1 Contestants have been crowned and marketed as talented, intelligent, and physically attractive. While competing definitions of beauty and sexuality have been intricately woven into the fabric of the pageant since its inception, the spectacle has also functioned as a public stage to broadcast the political, social and religious perspectives of and agen- das for each contestant. Examples include Jean Bartel, who in 1943 used her Miss America victory to promote and sell war bonds to the American public. In 1998, Kate Shindle used her title as a means to bring global awareness to persons with HIV/AIDS, and in 1975 and 1995 Shirley Cothran and Heath- er Whitestone brokered their respective pageants as platforms to propagate their Christian faith.2 The purpose of this essay is to introduce the multiple ways in which twentieth-century beauty contests have functioned as carefully crafted ven- ues that spotlight and promote certain forms of attractiveness alongside the winner’s Christian faith—particularly through the forms of Protestant wom- en’s bodies representing the larger institutional denominational bodies of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Church and The United Methodist Church. The essay explores the origins of the Miss America pageant and highlights three specific competitions where American Methodists shaped and marketed contests to showcase ideal Methodist women who were phys- ically appealing, vibrant in their Christian faith, and active within their local Methodist church.

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.
