Our Meanings Can Never Be The Same: Reflections On Language And Law, James Boyd White

Articles

For me it is a starting point in all thought about language that, whatever I say or do with words, my expression will never mean exactly the same thing to you that it does to me; and of course yours will never mean exactly the same thing to me that it does to you. It cannot: each act of expression is a gesture against a context; it derives its meaning largely. perhaps entirely, from its relation to that context; and for each of us the context of every gesture is different, if only because one of us is doing it, …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This practicum was designed to provide information and support for preschool teachers to help parents in teaching an active role to parenting. The primary goal was that there would be more active parent involvement between parents and children ages three to five years. The literature indicated that training sessions to provide information and support to teachers and parents could be successful in teaching an active role to parenting. Because the center parents were responsible parents, seeking advice to help in teaching their children, the community preschool teachers were supportive of the center's program and staff, and had requested parent education …

Making Sense Of Billboard Law: Justifying Prohibitions And Exemptions, R. Douglass Bond

Michigan Law Review

Part I of this Note surveys the trends in the aesthetic regulation of billboards, culminating in the Supreme Court of California's decision in Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego, and the Supreme Court's review of that decision. Part II analyzes the five Metromedia opinions in order to present properly the contemporary debate over billboard law.

Variables Affecting Attendance At And Radio Listenership To Minor League Baseball Games, David C. Ogden

Student Work

Variables, including age, sex, group accompaniment, extracurricular activities and "likes" and "dislikes" about experiences at games, were investigated for their relationship to attendance at Omaha Royals games and to listenership to Royals on radio. The results of a survey of spectators (N=333) at 11 Royals games show a difference in frequency of attendance among age groups and a difference in frequency of listenership between the sexes. Those over age 55 appear to attend games more often (p<.01) and female listeners tune in Royals games more frequently than males who listen to Omaha Royals radio (p<.05). Such findings support the contentions of Lee and Zeiss (1980) that age does make a difference in the amount of sports consumption, and that females may adopt sports consumer roles as readily as males. The study also indicates baseball's importance as a forum for socialization among family members and as a mechanism for exploring communication components of the sports subculture (Donnelly, 1972) and their marketing implications.
