Pageant participant enjoyed experience
KU student failed to win Miss USA but learned much
By Paul Todd Kansan staff writer
Friday night more than 300 million people watched Deborah Daulton, Salina junior, participate in the Miss USA pageant, but at the end of the show, she was not the woman wearing the tiara.
"Even though I did not make the top 12, it was worth it," Daulton said. "The experience was wonderful for each contest."
The winner was Miss Texas.
Although she did not make the final cuts, Daulton returned home confident and ready to finish her reign as Miss Kaneas...
"I will by no means neglect a single opportunity that I have as Miss Kansas," she said.
Daulton said she planned to take correspondence courses during her reign and to promote her sponsors until her Miss Kansas crown was passed on in October.
Daulton said she had been visiting veterans' hospitals since her return and hoped to work as a physical therapist at a veterans' hospital. She may attend the University of Kansas Medical Center's physical therapy school or attend Baylor University, which has an army-sponsored medical program.
A member of KU's Army ROTC program, Daulton said the pageant was worth the trip.
From the moment she arrived on Padre Island, Texas, for the pageant, Daulton was busy. The contestants had their time scheduled by the pageant directors to the minute, she said.
"Even fun outings were very scheduled and were not for very long," she said.
One of those fun outings consisted of an excursion to Matamoros, Mexico. Daulton said the people in Mexico were interested in talking with the pageant contestants because the contestants were different.
"One was a sportswriter; another was a model," she said. "They really were diverse, and they wanted to understand us."
Jason Vannatta, Overland Park senior, helped Daulton prepare interviews and clothes for the trip. He said
Deborah Daulton Miss Kansas
Dautton was not shaken by the loss and felt that she did her best.
"Deborah did a fabulous job," he said. "She is a great representative of the state of Kansas and will continue to be."
Vannatta said Daulton had given more than the pageant results indicated.
"I realized that
the difference she makes in peoples' lives is more important than the pageant," he said.
Daulton said she encouraged women interested in being contestants to begin preparation.
"Anything you work for preparation is the key," she said.
