Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT From 1919 to 1920 the United States carried out a massive campaign against radicals, arresting and deporting thousands of radical immigrants in a matter of months, raiding and shutting down anarchist printing shops, and preventing anarchists from sending both periodicals and personal communications through the mail. This period is widely known as the First Red Scare, and is framed as a reaction to recent anarchist terrorism, syndicalist unionizing, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

The hoS w was Yesterday: Redefining the Writing and Research Process through Mixing and Sampling Abstract In his 2003 article "The 1963 ipH -Hop Machine: Hip-Hop Pedagogy as Composition," Jeff Rice calls for a 'whatever' pedagogy that presents an "alternative research methodology for composition" using digital sampling as instrument for writing the argumentative essay. "The hoS w was Yesterday" is an effort to reinvigorate Rice's methodology by updating it in relation to contemporary digital platforms suited to sampling and mixing. Asserting that "The hoS w was Yesterday" identifies the conventional essay as a metaphor for the encore, or a relatively small artifact that evidences a students' grasps of complex concepts. The sho" w" therefore, is metaphoric of the holistic process of planning, researching, and the sampling and mixing of sources toward the invention of an original and substantive argument.
