Toward A Viable Chapter Organization, Alice T.M. Rechlin
The Geographical Bulletin
On April 24, 1972, approximately ninety students and faculty from colleges and universities across the nation convened in Kansas City for the Gamma Theta Upsilon special session, held during the Sixty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The format for the session included group discussions and reports concentrating upon the theme: "Toward a Viable Chapter Organization." The underlying purpose was to provide participants with the opportunity to pool their ideas in an effort to strengthen Gamma Theta Upsilon at the local level. Sponsors of G. T. U. chapters have long realized how difficult it is to come up …

Toward An Alumni Chapter Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
Gamma Theta Upsilon is embarking on another venture to increase its service to the geographic community by establishing an alumni membership which will allow initiates to maintain an active identification with Gamma Theta Upsilon after they leave an active college chapter. Hopefully it will encourage our thousands of past initiates who are still interested in Geography to resume participation in Gamma Theta Upsilon activities. The alumni chapter is envisioned as a means of supporting an initiate's lifetime interest in Geography. It will allow the national organization to provide more services to the members, such as an expanded Gamma Theta Upsi …

This issue of The Geographical Bulletin represents some new ventures for Gamma Theta Upsilon. First, is the discussion of chapter activities from the meetings in Kansas City as organized by Dr. Alice Rechlin. It is a fine article which hopefully can be the springboard for "viable chapters." The venture lies in good chapter communications. The second is an article by Dr. Fred Hirsch who has been appointed by the GTU Executive Committee to establish an "alumni chapter" which can bring past members of GTU back into activity with the Society. We should all give wholehearted support to this venture. The …
Recent U.S. Government Policy Literature On Critical And Strategic Minerals,

Recent U.S. Government Policy Literature On Critical And Strategic Minerals, Bert Chapman
Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research
Critical and strategic minerals have become increasingly important in U.S. government civilian and military policymaking in recent years. This is demonstrated by the heavy use of such minerals in many critical civilian and military infrastructures. This work will discuss how this subject has been addressed in laws, presidential documents, and works by government agencies along with congressional oversight committees and support agencies. It will stress how the United States is heavily dependent on strategic minerals from adversarial foreign countries such as China and will examine U.S. efforts to increase its ability to produce such materials in the United States by …
Generational Remigration Of The Latvian Diaspora: Tracing The Confluence Of Cultural Identity And Economic Opportunity,

Generational Remigration Of The Latvian Diaspora: Tracing The Confluence Of Cultural Identity And Economic Opportunity, Elizabeth L. Curiskis
Geography Honors Projects
At just 1.85 million, Latvia’s current population is declining at one of the fastest rates in Europe. This situation is prompting the Latvian government to introduce policies seeking economic, political, educational, and cultural engagement with the country’s diaspora with the hope that some of the approximately 390,000 emigrants and their descendants living abroad will return to live in Latvia. This paper asks whether these government initiatives are successful in their goal of influencing Latvian diaspora members to remigrate, and if the policies acknowledge and reconcile generational differences in the diaspora’s attitudes towards cultural involvement and eventual remigration. Through surveys and …

Seas Of Lemongrass: A Political Ecology Perspective On Urban Agriculture And Immigrant Food Security In The Twin Cities, Minnesota, Reece V. Mckee
Geography Honors Projects
Urban agriculture (UA) frequently employs organic, polycultural and agroecological techniques in order to farm suboptimal urban land with limited resources. However, less scholarly attention has been paid to its actual impacts on the eating patterns of marginalized groups like immigrants, which is important to study for political debates about the expansion and purpose of UA. In this study, I examined how different forms of UA affect food security and dietary diversity for immigrants in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Using dietary surveys, food access questionnaires, and informal conversations, I determined that a simplistic definition of food security focused only on overall …

Vienna In The New Century: From Public Housing Haven To Neoliberalized Mega Projects, Connery R. Ritter
Geography Honors Projects
While Vienna is often presented as a utopia for social sustainability, the urban developments after the turn of the century have revealed the variegated nature of Neoliberalization. Since the fall of the USSR, Vienna has privatized municipal bodies and engaged with financialized urban development projects. While this Neoliberalized urban governance approach has met with resistance, the resistance ironically has also enabled the city to capitalize on its social-welfarist past. Vienna nowadays brands itself as a sustainable and livable city for corporations, which leads to land assetization and new economic segregation.

Spatial Variations In Women's Share Of The Manufacturing Labor Force In Tennessee: A Statistical Analysis, Ted Klimasewski
The Geographical Bulletin
A neglected facet of the geographic literature is the role of women employed in the labor force. Women make up a significant share of the labor force, and comprise approximately a third of the manufacturing employment in the United States during 1970. But the relative magnitude of female employment in manufacturing varies throughout the United States, and in some areas of the South, women make up more than half of the manufacturing employment. The purpose of this study is to introduce the manufactural aspect of women's role in the labor force by (1) examining the spatial variation in women's share …

Spatial Ordering In Social Area Typology, Larry B. Bubacz
The Geographical Bulletin
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide tentative evaluation of the general applicability of two statistics, the weighted mean areal center and standard distance, to the question of spatial ordering in social area analysis. More specifically, does the use of these statistics identify whether social phenomena tends to conform to either a concentric (doughnut) ring or a sector (pie-shaped) pattern? The weighted mean areal center is defined as the "balancing point" or "center of gravity" for a population distributed in twodimensions (x-y coordinates) which is comparable to the arithmetic mean of the conventional linear frequency distribution.' The descriptive …

Systems Approach In Physical Geography, Hubert B. Stroud
The Geographical Bulletin
The concept of a system is not new and the emergence of systems analysis in academia has caused controversy over the significance of this approach as a viable means of scientific analysis. Some geography scholars feel that the use of systems analysis would definitely put us on the research frontier,1 while others view the term " systems" as nothing more than jargon. Nevertheless, the simplest definition for system is " a set of interrelated elements." The demand for the systems approach arose because scholars in a number of disciplines recognized in their own research that individual components of a problem …

The American State Capital, A Twentieth Century Growth Pole, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
A fall-out of our avoidance of " capes and bays" geography has been a " benign neglect" of political capitals. In addition to the mental block arising from past tedious memorizations of their existence has been a second factor of sparseness of cases. The United States with fifty state capitals has more than the number of capitals in most of the other federally organized sovereignties. The scientifically oriented among academic geographers have preferred to analyze phenomena in greater abundance such as central places or stream beds.

Utilization Of Plat Books For Determination Of The Rural-Urban Fringe, Douglas J. Kocher
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper has as its purpose the identification of the Valparaiso, Indiana rural-urban fringe' through an analysis of property boundary changes as evidence in county plat books. It is designed to test two hypotheses dealing with the nature of Valparaiso expansion and subdivision of land : one, greater urban expansion of Valparaiso will tend to be linear in nature and in the direction of major industrial areas and population centers; and two, the subdivision of land will show a marked increase with time as the urban area expands.

City Structure And City Change: A System Analysis Approach, A. Y. Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The structure of the city and the transformation processes which generate changes in its structure have fascinated intellectuals from many disciplines. Sociologists are mainly concerned with the social structure and the demographic characteristics of the inhabitants of the city as a base for understanding its structure. Economists are concerned with economic forces in terms of locational competition as the main reasons for the changing structure of the city. Engineers are concerned with the architecture of the city.

With the recent proliferation of periodicals which cater to geographers, it is probably a satisfaction for an editor to know that his periodical is still in business. At the recent annual meeting of Gamma Theta Upsilon the intent was clear on the part of the Executive Committee to stay in business. That is gratifying. But most satisfaction comes with the publication of this volume. You really are never aware of the breadth and depth of the articles offered until an index is made. A review of the index to volumes 1-6 show a considerable range of topics for our readers …

Methodology In The Natural And Social Sciences And Its Relationship To Geography, James T. Lorell
The Geographical Bulletin
Various methodologies are utilized in science in the achievement of these goals. Wellman concludes, "in the determination of cause and effect relations, scientific methods are indispensable, but there is no one scientific method which is inherently superior to others. We are gradually coming to realize that there is no one best method for all problems, but rather that research procedure calls for the finding of a blend of methods that is adapted to our particular problem "2
