The Impact Of The Vicinage Requirement: An Empirical Look, Dale W. Broeder

Nebraska Law Review

This is rather an introductory sampling article drawn from data generated by what is now familiarly known as the University of Chicago Jury Project. It was a study of twenty-three consecutively tried jury trials in a federal district court in the Midwest. The author personally observed all of such trials from beginning to end. All but a few lawyers serving in them were intensively interviewed, and with the court's permission, 225 jurors participating in such cases were interviewed. There were sixteen civil cases and seven criminal cases.

Staff And Client Participation: A New Approach To Correctional Research, J. Douglas Grant, Joan Grant

Nebraska Law Review

Research in corrections is no longer something done sporadically. Professional research staffs are now permanent parts of most major correctional organizations and correctional research has become routinized. A good deal of this change can be attributed to the demands of state legislators and other budget-controlling bodies for evidence of payoff in the programs they are asked to support. There are three crucial questions concerning this expansion: (1) Where is the manpower coming from? Who will do the innovating, data collecting, evaluating, and monitoring necessary for effective research? (2) Who will determine what program innovations should be studied? and (3) How …

The Federal Work Release Program, Lawrence A. Carpenter

Nebraska Law Review

The Prisoner Rehabilitation Act of 1965 authorized furloughs, a system of work release, and the use of community residential treatment centers for adult federal prisoners. The act and its implications are producing great changes in correctional work. All through the federal prison system, educational and vocational training programs are being restudied and geared to meet actual community employment opportunities and the actual capacities of prisoners. The basic missions of institutions are being reevaluated and in some instances changed. The new programs are also bringing about significant alterations in personnel recruitment and development programs, organizational patterns, and budgetary planning. The walls …

Constitutional Law—Bill Of Attainder—Section 504 Of The Landrum-Griffin Act Held: Unconstitutional—United States V. Brown, 381 U.S. 437 (1965), Mark F. Anderson

Nebraska Law Review

A bill of attainder is a legislative act which inflicts punishment without a judicial trial upon named individuals or those of an easily ascertainable class. The present case applies this definition to a legislative act which specifically designates Communists as individuals unfit to hold union office and punishes them by forcing them to choose between loss of their union position and criminal sanctions. A bill of attainder necessarily denies the victim due process of law. But the bill of attainder clause is in the Constitution for the specific purpose of insuring that no one is tried and convicted by the …

Nineteenth Century American Landscapes, Jon Nelson

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

Introduction: "In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life,-no disgrace, no calamity (leaving my eyes) , which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground,-my head bathed by the blithe air, and up-lifted into infinite space,-all mean egotism vanishes. . .. I am nothing, I see all; the currents of the universal Being circulate through me. I am part or parcel of God."

These words of Ralph \Valdo Emerson from his essay On Nature express the sentiments of the early nineteenth century American landscapists, known as the Hudson …

Proceedings Of The First Annual Meeting Of The National Collegiate Honors Council. University Of Kansas, Lawrence, October 22-24, 1966, Walter D. Weir

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

The National Collegiate Honors Council held its first annual meeting on the campus of the University of Kansas, October 22-24, 1966. The proceedings of that meeting are contained in this volume. This new association is a response to the expressed desire of many hundreds of educators throughout the country that, when the Inter-University Committee on the Superior Student (ICSS) was terminated in 1965, a national organization of individuals as well as institutions be formed. The new organization would carry on some of the functions of ICSS but would be free also to develop in ways appropriate to the present status …

The University’S Role In Prison Eduction, Delyte W. Morris

Nebraska Law Review

For thirteen years Southern Illinois University has had an association with the Illinois State Penitentiary at Menard, Illinois, which has been rewarding and useful for both institutions. This article deals with the educational and rehabilitational aspects of this association. First, we look briefly at the historical development of education in prison programs. Second, we outline the specific growth of educational services by Southern Illinois University at Menard and the United States Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois. Third, we examine the influences of this growth on thinking, planning, research, and applications of prison education by the university locally and, by extension of …

International Concern With Crime And Corrections, Frank Loveland

Nebraska Law Review

International concern with crime and corrections is not a recent phenomenon. The first International Penal and Penitentiary Congress (IPPC) was held in London in 1872. When the United Nations was established, it was decided that its role should include a program for the prevention of crime and treatment of offenders. The IPPC at the time of its last Congress, held at The Hague in 1950, agreed to the transfer of its functions to the United Nations. The first of the quinquennial Congresses on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders was held in Geneva in 1955, the second …

Editors' Page

Nebraska Law Review

This issue of the Nebraska Law Review contains the third and final part of the symposium "The Tasks of Penology." In the symposium we attempted to give our readers an overall view of the latest thinking in the area of criminal corrections. Most of the articles in this issue do not deal at any great length with the prison itself. The programs and concepts now in vogue are "beyond the walls." It is appropriate that these last contributions to the discussion seem to voice a common proposal: emergence.

The Emergence Of Correctional Law And The Awareness Of The Rights Of The Convicted, Eugene N. Barkin

Nebraska Law Review

The administration of criminal justice consists of four major areas: the arrest and charge of the commission of the offense; the trial and appeal; the disposition after a verdict of guilty; and finally the implementation of the judgment. Criminal law has traditionally been treated lightly by most law schools, practicing lawyers, and even the bench. And the most neglected area of this neglected field of law has related to the disposition of the offender's case; that is, sentencing and his rights thereafter. The purpose of this brief discussion is to promote awareness of the myriad of complex legal and human …

Relationship Between Measures Of Semen Quality And Fertility In Bulls Mated Under Natural Conditions, J. N. Wiltbank, W. W. Rowden, J. E. Ingalls

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

An evaluation of the relationship between several measures of semen quality and fertility of bulls mated under natural conditions has been conducted over a three-year period. Semen was collected three different times with an electro-ejaculator from bulls used in the fertility tests. Collections were made at weekly intervals. Fertility was evaluated by mating bulls to heifers starting about three days after the last collection. Semen quality refers to the percent abnormals and the percent motility evaluated at the time of collection. Fertility was measured by the proportion of heifers that settled at natural service. Several multiple regression equations were calculated. …

Ultrasonic Tracking Of Migratory Fishes With An Internal Tag, Ross M. Horrall, H. F. Henderson, A. D. Hasler

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

First paragraph:

A small ultrasonic tag, 9 mm by 40 mm in size, has been developed by members of the fish orientation group at the University of Wisconsin. The tag emits a continuous signal at approximately 65 kc/sec. The signal is received via a directional hydrophone and a high quality communications receiver. Tracking ranges of up to 1 km have been obtained. The placement of the tag is internal: either into the stomach or into the body cavity of the fish. The tags and tracking equipment have been successfully employed in studies on the open water movements and orientation of …

The Species Man As Defined By The Twentieth-Century French Author Vercors, Lorna Heim Carter

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

This thesis is a discussion and analysis of Jean Marcel Bruller (Vecors).Vecors has not claimed to belong to the mainstream of literacy thought that developed toward the mid-twentieth century; he has characterized himself as a “lone wolf”.Moreover, he has made a clear distinction between his personality as a writer and as a man.As a writer, he was known for his superb first work, but Vercos has expressed his desire that he not be forever known for the single work. By the time he expressed this desire, Vecors evidently thought that he had written other things worthy of recognition, that philosophies …

Cytogenetic Evidence For The Specific Distinction Of An Alaskan Marmot, Marmota Broweri Hall And Gilmore (Mammalia: Sciuridae), Robert L. Rausch, Virginia R. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Cytogenetic studies based upon somatic cells (bone marrow) have disclosed that the marmot hitherto designated Marmota caligata broweri Hall and Gilmore, occurring in the Brooks Range of Arctic Alaska, differs from M. c. caligata (Eschscholtz) in number of chromosomes (2n=36 as compared with 2n=42 in M. caligata) and in proportions of chromosomal types. Typical karyograms for the two species are presented. It is concluded that the Brooks Range marmot is specifically distinct from M. caligata, the applicable name being Marmota broweri Hall and Gilmore. Also determined were diploid chromosome numbers for two other Nearctic species of marmots, M. …

Miocene Mammals And Central American Seaways, Frank C. Whitmore Jr., Robert H. Stewart

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

The fossil mammal faunas of North and South America indicate that the two continents were separated from Paleocene or earlier time until the late Pliocene. Unfortunately our almost complete ignorance of the Tertiary land mammals of Central America, the geology of this large area, makes reconstruction of the Tertiary zoogeography of the region between the continents an exercise involving considerable speculation.

Evaluation Of Some Methods For Controlling The Bovine Estrous Cycle, R. G. Zimbelman

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

This paper will deal primarily with the evaluation of various methods to control the estrous cycle in cattle. Consideration will be given to four methods of altering the normal estrual cycle. (A) The inhibition of ovulation as a means of altering the estrual cycle appears to be receiving most attention in recent years. The bulk of this paper will deal with ovulation inhibition by progestogens; thus, it would seem appropriate to give a brief evaluation of the other three methods.

Labor Law—May A Union Bargain Away An Employee's Right Of Free Speech?—Nlrb V. Gale Prods., 337 F.2d 390 (7th Cir. 1964), Donald H. Bowman

Nebraska Law Review

The decision in NLRB v. Gale Products is of great importance in the context of the larger problem of protecting personal freedom in an industrial society. The court limited its inquiry to a determination of whether the employer had committed an unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act and failed to deal with the more fundamental problem involved, namely, whether the union possessed power to bargain away an employee's constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech. The fundamental question raised, given these premises, is whether the nature of the collective bargaining system requires that certain restrictions be placed on …

Mechanisms Controlling The Formation And Persistence Of The Corpus Luteum, L. L. Anderson, R. M. Melampy

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Mechanisms which control formation of corpora lutea during the estrous cycle, and particularly factors affecting their persistence and regression in various reproductive stages, have been of considerable interest to physiologists concerned with developing methods for control of the estrous cycle in domestic animals. Some recent reviews on control of ovarian function are those by Chester Jones and Ball (30), Anderson et al. (9) and Short (121).

Inflammatory Publicity In State Criminal Cases, Donald F. Burt

Nebraska Law Review

Much has been written about the evils of, and solutions to, the problem of trial by newspaper. It is not the purpose of this article to attempt an exhaustive exposition of all that has been said before, but rather to summarize the problem, to examine the past approaches to its solution, and then to discuss the relative merits of proposed new solutions, such as: (1) amendment and/or enforcement of Canon 20 [of the American Bar Association Canons of Professional Ethics]; (2) adoption by the news media of enforceable codes of ethics; and (3) adoption of criminal legislation which would punish …

"The Battle Of The Experts": A New Approach To An Old Problem In Medical Testimony, Larry W. Myers

Nebraska Law Review

The testimony of medical experts is essential in establishing the extent of a plaintiff's injuries in personal injury litigation. When conflicting or contradictory medical testimony is presented, a phenomenon arises which often attains such noticeable proportions that it has been dramatically labeled "the battle of the experts." In several jurisdictions, judicial, legal, and medical groups have collaborated to create programs aimed at resolving or minimizing these courtroom conflicts. This study seeks to ascertain whether such a program would promote the administration of justice in Nebraska.

The Relationship Of Certain Measures Of Creativity To Achievement In Selected Science And Related Coursework, Sheryl Oberg Snyder

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

The main question of this study concerns the relationship of creativity and achievement in science and related areas. More specifically, does the ingenious person, as determined by certain measures, excel in high school and college science, mathematics and science-related courses?Does the person with two- and three-dimensional visualization abilities, as determined by certain measures, likewise excel in these areas?Also, do the person with reasoning abilities similarly determined excel in these areas?

These questions raise a larger, overarching question predictability:Would knowledge of ingenuity, visualization ability, and reasoning ability aid in predicting achievement in science and related fields in high school and college? …
