  • Lakewood Cemetery Baseball Graves Compiled by Stew Thornley
    Lakewood Cemetery Baseball Graves Compiled by Stew Thornley (A) Buzz Arlett Section 41, Lot 562, Grave 7 Latitude: N N 44 degrees, 56’, 01.2”; Longitude: W 93 degrees, 18’, 25.3” Born January 3, 1899, died May 16, 1964 Arlett was an outstanding hitter who spent most of his career in the Pacific Coast League playing for his hometown team, the Oakland Oaks.

Arlett joined the Minneapolis Millers in 1934 and, despite missing the first part of the season, led the American Association with 41 home runs. He played two more years for the Millers and remained in Minneapolis after his playing career, operating a bar at Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue.

  • SENATORS of the UNITED STATES 1789–Present
    SENATORS OF THE UNITED STATES 1789–present A chronological list of senators since the First Congress in 1789 Administrations come and go, Houses assemble and disperse, Senators change, but the Senate is always there in the Capitol, and always organized, with an existence unbroken since 1789. Henry Cabot Lodge, 1903. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge stands among the most astute of the Senate’s 20th-century observer- participants. In the quotation noted above, he captures the fundamental continuity of this singular legislative body. On September 30, 1788, Pennsylvania became the first state to elect its United States senators. Since that distant election of William Maclay and Robert Morris, the states of this nation have similarly honored nearly 2,000 Americans. As Senator Lodge suggests, the most recently elected member shares a direct kinship with the entire line back to Senators Maclay and Morris. This publication is intended to remind current senators of that lineage by listing all members in the order in which they arrived. Each senator has been assigned a number to reflect his or her rank at the time of initial election. Up-to-date biographical information for all of these senators is available at http://bioguide.congress.gov. SENATORS' ORDER OF SERVICE From 1789 to 1958, senators whose terms began on the same day are listed alphabetically. Beginning in 1959, senators are listed according to commencement of first Senate term by order of service, determined by former service in order as senator, vice president, House member, cabinet secretary, governor, and then by state population. This latter system for calculating order of service has been used by the modern Senate for many years for the purposes of office assignment.

But Perpich said earlier that he would focus his higher education budget on state universities, community colleges, and technical institutes and recommend only an inflationary increase, instructional equipment funding, and a few other items for the U. He said the U "has a lot of work to do" before he would recommend more. Some legislators have said they disagree. President Hasselmo is expected to present his plan for administrative organization, or at least his initial thoughts, at the regents' meeting this week. Regent Charles McGuiggan said Jan. 1 that he won't seek a 3rd term. He said he told legis­ lators when he sought a 2nd term that it would be his last. All 4 of the regents whose terms expire this year have now announced their plans to step down. Cherie Perlmutter, associate VP for health sciences, has been named interim VP, pending regents' approval. Appointment would take effect Feb. 1. She succeeds Neal Vanselow, who resigned to become chancellor of Tulane University Medical Center. President Hasselmo said Perlmutter "has worked very effectively in this area for a number of years and has gained the respect of all with whom she has been associated," Search committees are now being formed for 4 major positions: provost and academic VP; VP for agriculture, forestry, and home economics; VP for health sciences; and vice provost for the arts, sciences, and engineering.

  • Forecasting Us Presidential
    METHODS, NOT MADNESS: FORECASTING U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS by Bryan Tony Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Political Science Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 2, 2016 METHODS, NOT MADNESS: FORECASTING U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Grant Ferguson, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Michael Butler, Ph.D. Department of Economics Vanessa Bouche, Ph.D. Department of Political Science ABSTRACT Through my thesis, I discuss the current literature on numerous factors that could affect how voters approach presidential elections including the economy, midterm election outcomes, public perceptions of the candidate, foreign entanglements, and, most interestingly, the personalities of the candidates’ spouses. I then lay out my hypotheses as to what and how different variables impact an election outcome in my own theory development. Next, I operationalize these factors to set the parameters and expectations for my study. In the results section, I assess how successful my model was in predicting the election outcome by comparing the results to the past election outcomes and looking for trends. Finally, the results indicate how effective or ineffective these variables are before surmising a conclusive answer to the factors that most affect election results. The concluding discussion further dissects the results of what to expect in 2016 before closing with meaningful implications, limitations, and areas for future research. Introduction In 2010, the Democratic Party suffered massive defeats in many national and state level elections in the 2010 midterms. In fact, the Republican Party gained 63 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, making it the largest seat change since 1948 and the largest for any midterm elections since 1938 (Busch 2011).
