Degraff Dons Miss SUU Crown by KEVI N M The Queen After Kristen Degraff, a senior chemistry major from Monroe, Utah, was crowned Miss SUU Tuesday night, four-year-old Abbey Eyre of St. George told her mother Angela Eyre, the former Miss Southem Utah State College 1988; that she jOst wanted to give Miss SUU a hug. In return, Miss SUU gave Abbey Eyre a rose from her bouquet. Degraff's first attendant is Christalee Sorensen, a junior communication major from Mount Pleasant, Utah, and her second attendant is Amy Merrill, a junior communication major from Layton, Utah. Degraffs duties as Miss SUU will include attending many school activities, banquets, speeches, and community activities. Her platform is called 'Seasons of Citizenship,' which focuses on educating youth about being kind to others. DeGraff described it as 'a rebirth of the golden rule.' Degraff will focus on this platform and advocate its fruition throughout her reign as Miss SUU. Degraff dons Miss SUU crown BY KEVI N M.

  • 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.

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.
