　　ERIKA Harold, a 22 - year - old Harvard - bound law student from Illinois, was crowned (加冕) Miss America 2003 on Saturday, Sept. 21,2002．Harold, who entered the 81 - year -old beauty competition as Miss Illinois, bent her head momentarily in joyful surprise before Miss America 2002 Katie Harman crowned her on Saturday with a tiara and sent her down the runway to the anthem: “There She Is, Miss America.” Harold, the Urbana, Illinois native, who was home - schooled until the fourth grade, put off going to Harvard Law School to compete in the pageant (盛會(huì)), which has struggled in recent years to keep up its practical use for young American women. She will receive a $50,000 scholarship and spend her 12-month term raising her social platform of enabling youth to fight against violence, including the kind that took off the lives of 15 people at Colorado's Columbine High School in 1999.“I want kids to be able to break that cycle of violence,” said Harold, telling a press conference that she was once bullied (欺侮) in school. “If Miss America can be bullied, then anyone can be bullied.” Her goal is to study public interest law and public policy at Harvard Law School when her term ends next September. But in the meantime, she could earn as much as US $ 250,000 from a lot of Miss America speeches. Harold, a University of Illinois graduate, is the fifth Miss America from Illinois. The last was Miss America 1998 Kate Shindle, who was crowned in 1997. Originally designed in the early 1920s as a way to attract offseason tourists to New Jersey shore resorts(勝地), the 81 - year - old Miss America Pageant first gained icon status (偶像地位) in the depths of the Great Depression and during World War II. Its period of greatest popularity came in the 1950s with the coming of television. By the late 1960s, the yearly competition was already an aim of feminists (女權(quán)主義者) and was heading for years of falling TV viewership and repeated challenges to its practical use.
