november 6- 12, 2002 news newsmagazine news By: Chad Messer I WCnewsmagazme student headlines WESTERN STUDENT TO COMPETE FOR Miss UNITED STATES TITLE Beth Allison Kuykendall, a junior communications major here at WCU, will represent North Carolina in the upcoming Miss United States pageant, which is to be held in Charlotte on November 15-18. Last March, Kuykendall was named the first runner-up of the Miss North Carolina United States pageant held in Asheville but was given the crown after the original winner was unable to complete her reign. The pageant will be pretty much like those seen on television, with the contestants competing in evening gown, swimsuit, interview and fashion categories. All 50 states will have a representative on hand to try and take the title home. All of this is on top of Kuykendall's busy life here in Cullowhee. She is enrolled in the Honors College, is vice president for recruitment for Alpha Chi Omega sorority, is a part of the marching band color guard and volunteers with the Gear Up 'College Buddies" program by hosting middle school students during campus visits. Say what you will about pageant culture, but these women do more good works in one day than many of us do in a month. They deserve alt the accolades they can get.
