    Date: September 23, 2002 Battleship New Jersey Volunteer Bulletin Vol. 1 Issue # 22 September 11, 2002 – Commemoration… By order of the Chief of Naval Operations, VADM Charles W. Moore, Jr., at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2002, all US Navy ships, including USS New Jersey, lowered the Union Jack and raised the “first Navy Jack.” The first Navy Jack, “DON’T TREAD ON ME,” was first hoisted by Commodore Esek Hopkins. It was in the fall of 1775 as he commanded and prepared the Continental Navy to do battle. They were located in these Delaware River waters. The Jerseyman photo of USS New Jersey proudly displays the first Navy Jack at her bow. “THE FIRST NAVY JACK WILL BE FLOWN ON BOARD ALL U.S. NAVY SHIPS IN LIEU OF THE UNION JACK DURING THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM… THE JACK REPRESENTS A HISTORIC REMINDER OF THE NATION’S AND NAVY’S ORIGIN, AND WILL TO PRESERVE AND TRIUMPH…” Battleship New Jersey Volunteer Bulletin – Vol. 1 Issue # 22 – Page 2 From the Volunteer affairs office: To All Volunteers, The reunion of the USS New Jersey on Friday, September 13, was an overwhelming success thanks to the dedication of you, the ship's volunteers. Your dedication to the Battleship New Jersey made it possible for our veterans to return to this place that holds an abundance of memories for them. You made their reunion this year one to be remembered a lifetime, not only by the veterans themselves, but also by their children and grandchildren. Without you, the sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of former crewmembers would never have been able to share this experience with their loved ones.

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.

  • From Miss World to World Leader: Beauty Queens, Paths to Power, and Political Representations
    From Miss World to World Leader: Beauty Queens, Paths to Power, and Political Representations Jill Carle, Arizona State University Magda Hinojosa, Arizona State University Abstract: This article argues that participation in beauty pageants can serve as a path to power for women. This previously unidentified route to political office is unique to women, builds on representational elements of beauty pageants, and provides girls and women with skills necessary to political achievement. We analyze how this path to power is different from celebrity politicians, which has recently received much academic attention. We use examples from Venezuela, Jamaica, the United States, and France to illustrate this path to power and differentiate between two types of beauty queens turned politicians. Miss Universe 1981 announced her candidacy for the presidency of Venezuela in early 1998, after months of polling data already revealed that she was the clear front-runner. When asked about the applicability of her former pageant life to politics Irene Sáez cited the beauty contests of her youth as the source of her competitive spirit. Sarah Palin emerged as a national political figure in the United States when the McCain campaign announced her as the Republican vice-presidential candidate in the upcoming election. The focus on her looks and former beauty queen credentials was undeniable. Both of these women illustrate a previously unidentified path to power. Beauty queens have become members of Congress, like Representative Michele Bachmann and Senator Lisa Murkowski, and state governors, like Jennifer Granholm. These women and countless others like them in countries worldwide suggest that beauty queens may be able to trade titles like Miss Massachusetts for political titles like Governor of Massachusetts.
