SHORT TAKES : Miss America Notes Vanessa

<i> From Times Wire Services</i>

Seems someone at the Miss America Pageant still can’t come to grips with Vanessa Williams.

Williams, who was stripped of her 1984 crown after nude photographs of her were published in Penthouse magazine, is named on the back page of this year’s program, along with all winners since the first contest in 1921.

Her reign from Sept. 17, 1983, to July 23, 1984, is listed, as is runner-up Suzette Charles--from July 23 to Sept. 15, 1984.

But in a separate section detailing the accomplishments of the last 10 winners, the achievements and name of Williams are absent.

The singer has met success with such hit songs as “Dreamin’ ” and “The Right Stuff.”
