The major form of recreation on Cozumel, after beaches and diving, is shopping. Mexico has long been a bargain hunter’s idea of a good time, and that is especially true now after repeated devaluations of the peso. Shop around the plaza and along the waterfront. You will find nearly all the items for which Mexico is famous. They include silver, copper, tin goods, pottery and ceramics, exquisitely embroidered dresses, blouses and shirts, handwoven serapes and blankets, rebozos (shawls), huaroche sandals and basketwork. Start in the stalls of the "Mercado de Artesonios.” or Crafts Market, just behind the plaza. Cozumel is also famous for high-quality black coral, and though expensive here, it can be an excellent buy.

Vanessa Williams\ 'Miss America' justified ?

(Continued from page 1) f 'Yesl' — } world. It is this responsibility, perhaps, which would be most desecrated if Miss Williams had chosen to retain her title. I Miss Williams Signed a contract when she entered the pageant. Although officials would not comment on legalities, pageant legal counsel Leonard Horn expressed the written agreement. “In signing the contract they swear to good moral character, that they have not engaged in acts of moral turpitude and they will uphold the dignity of the crown,” said Horn in a United Press International interview. Pageant officials, who determined Miss Williams should reliquish her crown, have been most fair to her. Although she was asked to give up her title, she was allowed to retain the $125,000 she earned through personal appearance and the $25,000 scholarship which accompanied the title ten months ago. Despite efforts by pageant officials to spare Miss Williams as much injury as possible, she cites she has been hurt. Capitalizing on what was an error in judgement by Miss Williams, “Penthouse” magazine has published pictures of her posed with another woman in the September issue. The “soft core” magazine will likely profit from one of its best selling issues, and for that reason have knowingly overlooked the harm it will do to an American institution, The Miss America Pageant, and the damage to the young woman herself. While “Penthouse” seized what it saw as a highly profitable opportunity, another such magazihe, “Playboy,” turned down an opportunity to purchase the pictures, after finding the release signed by then 19-year-old Vanessa Williams questionable. Miss Williams, her error in judgement attributed to her youth, should be commended for the way in which she has handled the difficult situation, the media coverage and the loss of her title. In light of the situation, she has fared well, and with this in mind there is hope that the nation, the pageant and the advancements blacks have made within each will as well.

Thursday is warmest day

Lores Steury, Goshen College weather observer, talked about hot weather this week since July 27 is creeping up on us and that day is considered to be the warmest day of the year with an average temperature of 74.7 degrees. July 1984 has been average temperature wise. In 1936 it was not quite so average with a normal temperature at 78.3. The normal average is 76.8. The year 1936 was a record setter in hot degrees. From July 7 to the 14th the thermometer kept topping 100. The hot spell started on the 7th with 103 degrees and got progressively warmer until it reached its peak at 111 degrees on the 14th. It was the warmest day ever recorded here, reports Steury. Along with only a trace of precipitation, it made for one hot month.

(Continued from page 1) 'No!' — who were just dying to be Miss America. But she should have been allowed to finish the last few months of her term. Even Albert Marks Jr., the pageant director, admitted that she “fulfilled all of the duties and responsibilities in an exemplary She even advertised Coke. What could be more American and wholesome than that? True, the photos of Miss Williams would be considered obscene by most Americans. But she claims they were going to be taken as black and white, anonymous silhouettes, and were not going to be published. She might be telling the truth. Only she and Tom Chiapel know for sure. It is hard not to feel disgust for Chiapel and Guccione for their exploitation of Miss Williams. They seem to be the villains here, if there are any. Guccione called it “good journalism.” Good business, yes. The voyeurs of the world are camping in front of newsstands to buy the magazine. This exploitation of Miss Williams, and women in general, seems to be the true obscenity, the ethical violation. This, and the annual spectacle that encourages a homogenous pool of women to sing, dance, smile and cry on cue that is the Miss America Pageant.
