Two Profiles Of Women Community College Presidents, Melinda Rhodes Jul 2003

Two Profiles Of Women Community College Presidents, Melinda Rhodes

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This study focuses on the narratives of two women leaders, one of whom continues to work as a community college president and another who made the transition from a community college presidency to the directorship of a continuing education division of a large, state research university. The women were first interviewed in 2000 when they discussed their own career characteristics and views of women presidency leadership issues. At that time, one was considering accepting a post leading a northwest community college undergoing drastic changes in mission, goals and target student population. She served as that college's president in 2002.

Title Ix: Boom Or Bust?, Marilyn J. Mather Jul 2003

Title Ix: Boom Or Bust?, Marilyn J. Mather

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Athletics has been significantly impacted by Title IX through an increase the number of female athletes, the number of teams available, and indirectly, the development of women's professional leagues. However, women in leadership positions in athletics have declined significantly since Title IX was signed into law. A concern about the discontinuation of some men's non-revenue producing sports influenced the Department of Education to form the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics to review Title IX. The process and findings of the Commission are discussed, as well as the possible impact of the Commission's recommendations.

Adolescent Females With Communication Disorders Involved In Violence: Educators' Opinions, Judy K. Montgomery, Dixie Sanger, Barbara J. Moore-Brown, Leslie Smith, Marilyn Scheffler Jul 2003

Adolescent Females With Communication Disorders Involved In Violence: Educators' Opinions, Judy K. Montgomery, Dixie Sanger, Barbara J. Moore-Brown, Leslie Smith, Marilyn Scheffler

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This study focused on increasing the awareness of educational leaders about the relationship between students with communication disorders and violence. A review of selected research on adolescent females with language problems residing in a correctional facility served to support a survey study and extend discussions about the need for educational leadership within this population. Ninety-six speech-language pathologists, special educators, and teachers were surveyed about their training and knowledge on the role of communication in violence. Findings suggested the majority of participants agreed on the importance of planning prevention programs. However, they did not receive training and were uncertain about providing …

From Note To Independent Research Project: The Case Of Lauretta Hitchcock Jenney (1808-1833), William M. Ferraro Jul 2003

From Note To Independent Research Project: The Case Of Lauretta Hitchcock Jenney (1808-1833), William M. Ferraro

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

My quest after Lauretta Hitchcock and the family connections that shaped her values and beliefs began in 1989, when I came across this young woman at the Salmon P. Chase Papers. John Niven, editor of the Chase Papers, took little notice of Lauretta Hitchcock because the project focused on Salmon P. Chase's rise as an anti-slavery lawyer and political leader. Out of four letters between 1826 and 1827 from Chase to Lauretta or members of her family and seventeen letters between 1826 and 1832 from Lauretta or her relatives to Chase, Niven chose only one for publication in the select …

L’Excitation Insolite : La Perversité Amoureuse Chez Tristan, Russell J. Ganim Jun 2003

L’Excitation Insolite : La Perversité Amoureuse Chez Tristan, Russell J. Ganim

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications

CET EXPOSÉ S’ATTACHE à poser les questions suivantes: En quoi consiste le désir chez Tristan? Et comment le désir s’exprime-t-il? Nous pouvons, dans un premier temps, discerner des parallèles très forts entre Tristan et certains poètes/amants de la Pléiade. En fait, le poète se voit souvent comme un amant maudit dont l’affection ne sera jamais partagée par sa bien-aimée ingrate. Mais au moment même où Tristan choisit ce portrait commun pour se dépeindre, il modifie l’image du poète/amant traditionnel en y ajoutant une dimension sinistre, voire perverse. Par moments, la passion chez Tristan se montre non seulement mélancolique mais violente. …

Willa Cather As Equivocal Icon, Guy J. Reynolds Jun 2003

Willa Cather As Equivocal Icon, Guy J. Reynolds

Department of English: Presentations

All icons are ultimately equivocal: you can’t think of an icon without thinking about iconoclasm. Iconicity is a function of place. Cather turned the creation of icons, and the sceptical deconstruction of icons, into a form of narrative quest that could animate a whole fiction. After Cather’s death, her coterie, Midwesterners who had come East, were faced with what to make of an iconic heartlands figure who had moved to this re¬gion. Cather’s status as Midwestern icon became, after her death, a subject of struggle among E.K Brown, his widow Peggy Brown, Dorothy Canfield, Edith Lewis, Alfred Knopf, Leon Edel, …

A Mathematical Commentary On Xenophon, Hellenika 2.1.25, 5.3.5 And Thucydides 3.2, Thomas Nelson Winter Jun 2003

A Mathematical Commentary On Xenophon, Hellenika 2.1.25, 5.3.5 And Thucydides 3.2, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In Greek antiquity, gravity, actuated by archers on city walls, turned many a tide, as victorious besiegers routed a city's land forces, but in the excitement of pursuit, got too close to the city walls! Xenophon presents one such instance as but the most recent of many cases, in relating the death of Teleutias.

The bow, among the Greeks, was the principal weapon for the city besieged. The bow being so effective in this situation explains why the an early advance in ancient siege machinery was the movable tower. It is an anti-gravity machine! Its purpose was to zero out …

Effects Of Light And Heat Aging On Selected Quilting Products Containing Adhesives, Janet Evenson, Patricia Cox Crews Apr 2003

Effects Of Light And Heat Aging On Selected Quilting Products Containing Adhesives, Janet Evenson, Patricia Cox Crews

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

No published results concerning the long-term performance of adhesive-containing commercial products are available to quilt makers. Consequently, they cannot make informed choices. The purpose of this study was to carry out accelerated light and heat aging on selected quilt basting sprays, fusible webs, and fusible battings to determine whether or not they contribute to discoloration or degradation over time. Selected products were exposed to 40 or 80 AATCC Fading Units of light exposure and 6 or 36 hours of heat aging. Following light exposure and heat aging, changes in color, strength and stiffness were measured. Results of this research show …

Characteristics Of Fading Of Wool Cloth Dyed With Selected Natural Dyestuffs On The Basis Of Solar Radiant Energy, Kunio Yoshizumi, Patricia Cox Crews Apr 2003

Characteristics Of Fading Of Wool Cloth Dyed With Selected Natural Dyestuffs On The Basis Of Solar Radiant Energy, Kunio Yoshizumi, Patricia Cox Crews

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

Photodegradation characteristics of selected natural dyestuffs were investigated on the basis of solar radiant energy. UVA and UVB fluorescent lamps were also applied to examine wavelength dependencies on the fading characteristics. The natural dyestuffs were observed to have poorer lightfastness in the comparison with AATCC Blue Wool L2. The order of fading susceptibility to solar radiation is as follows: Turmeric > Weld > Madder > L2. Moreover, it was concluded that the natural dyestuffs were strongly sensitive to visible light as well as to UV rays and L2 would be faded by visible light to a small extent. These results provide an important …

The Ethics Of Representation, Robert Brooke, Amy M. Goodburn Apr 2003

The Ethics Of Representation, Robert Brooke, Amy M. Goodburn

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Editors' Introduction to a special issue of Writing on the Edge: A Journal About Writing and Teaching Writing

We compositionists work in a field where questions about the ethics of representation confront us endlessly. In our teaching, in our research, in our service, we regularly must represent students, colleagues, and community members to others, often across great divides in power. In response, across our profession there's been a growing sense of worry, and growing scholarship on the importance of ethical practices. In February 2001, CCC published the "Guidelines for the Ethical Treatment of Students and Student Writing in Composition Studies" …

On The Influence Of Jazz Rhythm In The Music Of Aaron Copland, Stanley V. Kleppinger Apr 2003

On The Influence Of Jazz Rhythm In The Music Of Aaron Copland, Stanley V. Kleppinger

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

Surveys scholarly views of jazz's rhythmic and metrical structures in the 1920s (at the outset of Copland's career) focusing especially on Copland's own writings on the subject. Analyses of selected passages from Copland's piano concerto, the second piece of Four piano blues, the Piano variations, the piano sonata, the clarinet concerto, and Appalachian spring help to assess the ambiguity surrounding the identification of jazz-based rhythmic influences in Copland's music.

Is There A Story In Those Notes?, Ann D. Gordon Apr 2003

Is There A Story In Those Notes?, Ann D. Gordon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Is there a story in those notes? Let me answer that in the affirmative. Drawing on the Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, I can tell you that there are many, many stories in those notes. But I should explain the question. Certainly there are stories behind the notes: the serendipitous moments of discovery, the slogging through barren sources, or the comeuppance when a research strategy proves terribly wrong. Stories behind the notes also encompass stories that are left behind, chipped off or sanded away as the editor trims her knowledge down to precisely the kernel …

A Democracy Of Knowledge, Henry Wiencek Apr 2003

A Democracy Of Knowledge, Henry Wiencek

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

I am very honored to speak to this group today. l owe an enormous debt to the work that you do and I very sincerely thank you for it. Documentary editing has, for me, an almost priestly connotation. I went to a Jesuit high school where my toughest teacher was Fr. Alphonse Yumont, who taught Latin. Every night we had to pore over a long section of Vergil, and the next morning had to translate it aloud in class. Errors were not allowed. And by "errors" I mean any deviations whatever from a precisely literal translation. We were not allowed …

The Beleaguered Widowof West Bilney: Review Of The Remembrances Of Elizabeth Freke. Edited By Raymond A. Anselment. Camden Fifth Series., Aki Chandra Li Beam Apr 2003

The Beleaguered Widowof West Bilney: Review Of The Remembrances Of Elizabeth Freke. Edited By Raymond A. Anselment. Camden Fifth Series., Aki Chandra Li Beam

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The manuscripts of Elizabeth Freke's reminiscences are contained in two commonplace books held by the British Ubrary. The larger "white vellum" volume, which includes the earlier reminiscence, also contains letters, recipes, snatches of poetry and history, a survey of the West Bilney estate, and some inventories. The second "brown wallpaper" volume, begun some ten years after the first, also contains copies of rental agreements, land deeds, and financial transactions. These two manuscripts were donated to the British Ubrary in 1941 by Lady Mary Carbury, a descendant by marriage of Elizabeth Freke. Early in the twentieth century, Carbury published the only …

The Civil War Writings Of A "Literary Colonel": Review Of The Complete Civil War Journals And Selected Letters Of Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Edited By Christopher Looby, Steven F. Miller Apr 2003

The Civil War Writings Of A "Literary Colonel": Review Of The Complete Civil War Journals And Selected Letters Of Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Edited By Christopher Looby, Steven F. Miller

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Higginson came to his military career as a man of letters, as well as a militant abolitionist. Before the war, he had earned a reputation as an antislavery lecturer and written pieces for the Atlantic Monthly and other journals on topics including natural history, masculine health, and slave insurrections. He took a hiatus from writing for publication during his tenure with the First South Carolina; to do otherwise, he believed, would be "a sort of profaning this experience & mixing incompatible lives" . But he kept a journal of his wartime experiences, which he began editing and mining for articles …

Review Of Reinventing Fundraising: Realizing The Potential Of Women's Philanthropy By Sondra C. Shaw And Martha A. Taylor, Jean M. Haar Apr 2003

Review Of Reinventing Fundraising: Realizing The Potential Of Women's Philanthropy By Sondra C. Shaw And Martha A. Taylor, Jean M. Haar

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Studies of women note the unique nature of female leadership (Aburdene & Naisbitt, 1992; Helgeson, 1995; Sergiovanni, 1995). As women's leadership roles in the workforce increase (Helgeson, 1995; Ruderman & Ohlott, 2002), the potential for women's leadership in philanthropy is acknowledged. In Reinventing Fundraising: Realizing the Potential o/Women 's Philanthropy, Shaw and Taylor address the potential of women philanthropists-and make special note that, whether women inherit, earn or marry money, they are becoming a powerful financial force. Lederer (1991) and Taylor (1998) emphasized that American women now control 60% of the nation's investment wealth and constitute 43% of the nation's …

"I Have Work To Do" Work Roles And Affirming Or Marginalizing Experiences Among Women At Professor Rank, Florence A. Hamrick Apr 2003

"I Have Work To Do" Work Roles And Affirming Or Marginalizing Experiences Among Women At Professor Rank, Florence A. Hamrick

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This qualitative study of women at professor rank at a Research Extensive university explored work roles as well as occasions and events that signified affirmation or marginalization to respondents as they performed their work. Three primary work roles emerged: disciplinary expert, mentor or model, and advisor or change agent. Although all respondents clearly identified themselves as disciplinary experts, the other two roles were often more complex. Respondents generally experienced affirmation through student, collegial,and institutional recognitions of expertise and effectiveness. Marginalizing experiences included serving token roles on committees or other bodies and being a "lone voice" on issues of equity.

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

As we prepare this issue for publication, the news of war with Iraq is dominant. A story aired by National Public Radio (NPR) focused on women in the war and noted that one in every seven members of the military personnel serving in Iraq is a woman (Morning Edition, April 2, 2003). Women in the War is a special segment of NBC's Today Show. Their report noted that 15,000 women are serving in Iraq (April 9, 2003). As television and radio reports bombard us with a steady stream of information and analysis, the stories of women's experiences in Iraq as …

Single-Sex Schools And Classroom: Is "Separate But Comparable" Legally Permissible?, Donald F. Uerling, Gretchen Hall Apr 2003

Single-Sex Schools And Classroom: Is "Separate But Comparable" Legally Permissible?, Donald F. Uerling, Gretchen Hall

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Most public schools in the United States have been coeducational, based at least in part on a general belief that single-sex schools and classrooms were legally impermissible. Now the issue of single-sex education has been raised again by the No Child Left Behind Act of2001, which provides that federal funds may be made available to local education agencies for an array of innovative assistance programs, including programs to provide same-gender schools and classrooms. An analysis of applicable law, coupled with a review of the merits of single-sex schooling, suggests that "separate but comparable" single-sex public school education might be legally …

Truth In Timbre: Morrison's Extension Of Slave Narrative Song In Beloved, Peter J. Capuano Apr 2003

Truth In Timbre: Morrison's Extension Of Slave Narrative Song In Beloved, Peter J. Capuano

Department of English: Faculty Publications

In her 1987 novel Beloved, Toni Morrison acknowledges and even borrows from Frederick Douglass's 1845 Narrative, but she also makes a resolute break from its rhetorical and political objectives. Historical differences between the audiences of Douglass and Morrison account for a large part of their contrasting styles, particularly in their treatment of slave song. Since Douglass composed his Narrative as a fugitive slave in the early 1840s, he was aware of his principally white audience and also of his precarious task of presenting an attack not on white America, but on the institution of slavery itself. Douglass's judicious …
