Dad, I Served: The Autobiography Of C.J. Mclin, Jr., C. J. Mclin Jr., Minnie F. Johnson

Books Authored by Wright State Faculty/Staff

Dad, I Served: The Autobiography of C. J. McLin, Jr. in 1998 to is a tribute to the political life of the late Honorable C. J. McLin, Jr. While his sphere of influence grew significantly over a 22 year career in the Ohio General Assembly, C. J. McLin willfully remained in local and state politics: a courageous strategist, a tireless negotiator, and a tough-minded idealist who used his regional and national connections not for his own glory but for the welfare of the least of his constituents. His influence was sought not only by those he served, but by Democratic …

Hooting: Public And Popular Discourse About Sex Discrimination, Kenneth Schneyer

Humanities Department Faculty Publications & Research

In recent years there have been a surprising number of legal attacks on the restaurant chain called Hooters. These attacks have all been based, one way or another, on a claim of sex discrimination in employment. Yet the attacks vary considerably: some are based on claims of sexual harassment, some on claims by private individuals that they have been discriminated against in hiring because they are male, still others on general claims that the chain is engaged in systemic sex discrimination. Many of these claims are concerned with the troubling boundaries of the bona fide occupational qualification, that uncomfortable defense …

Ruminating On The U.S. Open Tennis Championships, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Looking back to the first radio commentary I did six years ago, the subject was the U.S. Open Tennis Championships where the stellar performance that year by Jimmy Connors, especially in his late night match against Patrick McEnroe, was such a contrast with the sorry performance by the over hyped Andre Agassi. Connors has since moved on to the seniors tour while Agassi's career remains largely the story of the failure to live up to the hype and the potential.

College Sport And Pell Grants, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

All the color and pageantry of college football is about to be unleashed on us again, along with all the NCAA public relations machinery designed to tell us how important college sports have been in building character in modern America. What we won't hear discussed in those NCAA halftime promotional spots will be the details of fraud in Pell Grants, the federal aid program for needy college students.

On Sport And Society 8-15-1997, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

While sitting and waiting for the National Rifle Association to intervene on behalf of Barry Switzer and Alan Iverson, and contemplating Greg Maddox signing for 11.5 million dollars per year, and Kevin Garnett turning down 17 million dollars per year and demanding 22.5, I tried to concentrate on the more important issues. For example, will Bud Selig ever leave the commissioner's office while still breathing, and, what do I think about radical realignment in baseball?

Disney's Wide World Of Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The Sporting News named Michael Eisner the fifth most powerful figure in sports this past year a position that seems a little low to me, but then Disney is still a novice in SportsWorld. The Disney Sports Empire is growing, and one of the newest parts of that empire is located here in Orlando at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.

Tommy Lasorda, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In a week in which I could choose to talk of Ben Hogan or Don Shula, I find myself compelled towards one of the best known men in baseball over the past twenty years, Tommy Lasorda, who will be inducted into the manager's wing at Cooperstown on Sunday. Nellie Fox, Phil Niekro, and Willie Wells will also be honored. The fourteenth manager and the fifteenth Dodger honored, this man, who has been considered one of baseball's great ambassadors over the past twenty years, is an overwhelming fan's choice for a spot at Cooperstown.

Jason Williams And Academics, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

About two weeks ago The Orlando Sentinel ran an interesting story about a young man named Jason Williams who, according to all reports, could become the best point guard in the history of the basketball program at the University of Florida. There is only one small problem: "I hate school. I hate it so much I can't stand it," says Williams. Certainly this is a view that is shared by many young men and women, some of whom for a multitude of reasons end up in classrooms at universities around the country.

Tyson Holyfield, Cathedrals, Skewed Values, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was Monday the 30th of June. I had just spent the morning at the Vatican Museum, the final stop of which is at the Sistine Chapel, considered by some to be the penultimate work of art in the history of the western world. To stand in that large room and absorb the work of Michelangelo, even among the crush and din of the tourists, is one of the great experiences of a lifetime. You leave with a feeling that there is indeed something of the divine within the human spirit which Michelangelo has managed to capture on the walls …

Fenway Park And The Ted, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There is the old, and the new old, more stylishly termed the retro. We're talking ballparks, major league ballparks. Over the past few weeks I had the pleasure of being at one of the very oldest, Fenway Park in Boston, and the newest of the new old parks, "The Ted" in Atlanta.

Women's Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Twenty-five years ago Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 mandated that women not be discriminated against in any educational institution receiving federal funds. Although Title IX does not mention sport specifically it is clear that sport is one of those activities covered. When you see the hype being generated by the arrival of the WNBA, you might think that Title IX has been a major success. It has not.

Nba And Nhl Playoffs, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Now that the Michael Jordan Invitational Tournament has ended it might be a good time to look at some of the highlights of both the NBA and NHL playoffs. Once again Michael set new standards of performance, and once again he proved how important he is to the Bulls' success. Twice during the finals he took games away from the Jazz, once with a buzzer-beater and once with a performance that has extended the Michael legend to another level. The buzzer beaters have happened so often that they are nearly yawners, and in fact the pass to Steve Kerr at …

Father's Day, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This commentary was first broadcast in June of 1992 in a slightly different form. This week for Father's Day I want to talk about the man who taught me a love of sport, and especially a love of baseball, and who taught me much about life.

Orlando Magic, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

At long last the peculiar dance that has been the Orlando Magic coaching search has ended with the personable and hard-nosed Chuck Daly being named the new head coach of this team which is still in search of an identity. Whether or not Chuck can accomplish this formidable task remains to be seen, and if he can not, the explanation will be simple. He will be declared too old for the job.

Celebrating the Portuguese Communities in America: A Cartographic Perspective.

June 10 - November 29, 1997

Although numerous countries and individuals were involved in the exploration and mapping of the Americas, it was the Portuguese who set the stage during the fifteenth century for the ensuing discoveries in the New World. Portuguese-born and sponsored explorers played a significant role, especially in charting a route around the southern tip of South America; in exploring and exploiting the waters bordering the northeast coast of North America; and in exploring the Pacific Coast of North America, particularly the area that today is the state …
