Pageants: What Manner of Beauty? 3

By Msonter Anzaa

Why should serious-minded individuals be careful about this beauty thing? One, it is not necessary. I must begin by confessing that I admire beauty like everyone else. However, I know that beauty is not a peripheral thing, even though it might be complemented by external accessories. Why then do we put so much emphasis on these accessories that are most of the time deceptive? Why do we give all of our time to them? It is not necessary to hold beauty contests all the time. It is not necessary for every little department and micro-association on campus to hold its own beauty contest. It is not necessary either, to bother our gentle ladies with strange, awkward steps that are uncomfortable even to themselves.
