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.

In 1989, the Miss America Organization founded the platform concept, which requires each contestant to choose an issue about which she cares deeply and that is of relevance to our society. Once chosen, Miss America and the state titleholders use their stature to address community-service organizations, business and civic leaders, the media and others about their platform issues. This legacy will continue. Now, in addition to her personal platform, Miss America will also be a goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network. This new national platform will provide the Miss America Organization the opportunity to not only raise funds for Children’s Miracle

The Filipino Century in Hawaii: out of the Crucible
From: Filipino Centennial Souvenir Program (Honolulu: Filipino Centennial Celebration Commission, December 10, 2(05). The Filipino Century in Hawaii: Out of the Crucible By Belinda A. Aquino Centerfor Philippine Studies University ofHawaii at Manoa How does one capture the essence of a hundred years? We are reminded of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Nobel Prize-winning, Cien Afios de Soledad: A Hundred Years of Solitude. Using his signature literary style called "magical realism," Marquez crafts a brilliant epic story of love, loss, death and renewal in the mythical village of Macondo, covering a hundred years of the original protagonist, Jose Arcadio Buendia, and his descendants. It is highly comic but at the same time deeply tragic. Solitude or not, it isn't just another story. It's a story that engages our sense of human survival. It is about the indestructibility of the human spirit, the enduring theme of all great literature. The world of the plantation in Hawaii wasn't so mythical as Macondo. It was starkly real. For the first 15 bewildered Filipino sakadas (migrant workers) who got off the S.S. Doric on December 20,1906, amid stares of curious onlookers, the world before them was one of foreboding. The feudal plantation system and its oppressive need for abundant cheap labor was already entrenched when they arrived. Life for them would be much more than solitude. It would be more like a crucible serving up the severest of tests for human endurance. Ten to 12 hour days of backbreaking work in the canefields under a searing sun, a miserable dollar- a day wage, homelessness, rootlessness, isolation, loneliness, vulnerability to the luna's wrath, suffering and other human hardships would be the essence of their existence.
