Alden Thresher Director of Admissions Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Clyde Vroman Director of Admissions, The University of Michigan Dean K. Whitia Director, The Office of Tests, Harvard University Introduction The growing importance,scope, and diversity of higher education in America, and indeed throughout the world,make it imperative and timely for colleges and universities in thiscountry to give serious at- tention to the problems and issues inherent in theiradmissions policies, for these paciesare the major factor in determining the ultimate size and makeup of their student bodies. In 1957, the Fifth Annual Colloquiumon College Admission', of the College Entrance Examination Board hadas its topic, "Planning Col- lege Policy for the Critical Decade Ahead." In hisForeword to the published papers from the Colloquium, Ho 11,43 G. Robertssaid: " .these addresses make crystal clear the fact that thereis no room for complacency in the admissions picture. Anti theimplication arises again and again in the addresses that the primere-ponsibility for the establishment of a clearly stated, educationally andphilosophically sound admissions policy, along with its interpretationand its practical and ethical application, rests sciaarelyen the shoulder of the college admissions officer."' The decade since 1957 has been memorable. Thatwas tl year of Sputnik I. The Advanced Placement Programwas beginning to hit its expansive stride. Then in 1961 the first "tidal wave" ofstudents reached the colleges,many of which were ill-prepared to meet their admissions problems. The past, decade indeed has beena period of tre- mendous growth and evolutionary change in American education. This invitational Colloquiumon College Admissions Policies, co- sponsored by the College Bond and The University of Michigan, brought together 80 professional admissions officers from allover the country in order to lay a foundation of ideas, information, andper- spectives to be used in planning for the decade ahead. Thepurposes of the Colloquium were to help undergraduate admissions officers and administrators: Understand the social, psychological, and educational significance of their responsibilities. Understand the growing diversity and complexity of higher educa- tion at the campus. state, and national levels. 11.0Assess and improve their admissions policies and practices. 1. Planning College Policy for the Critical Decade Ahead. New York: College Entrance Examination Board, 1958, p. vi. vii Give leadership and assistance to their superiors faculties, college officers, and governing boardsM the formulation and implementation of college admissions policies, Build admissions policy structures that will be appropriate for the decade ahead. The major rationale for the Colloquium was, first, the belief that the foundation of a successful college admissions program begins with the policies that govern its operation and, seconds the belief that the ad- missions officer is primarily responsible for the creation of desirable and effective admissions policies for his institution. The procedural method of the Colloquium revolved around prepared papers presented by natioAtally known authorities on topics of key importance to planning college admissions policies for the decade ahead. Those papers constitute the body of this publication. It is hoped that the reader will gain, as did the participants in the Colloquium at Interlochen, new insights into the evaluation and improvement of his or her institution's admissions policies and criteria for the decade ahead. Members of the Colloquium Committee were Robert L. Jackson, director of admissions, Oberlin College; Hollace G. Roberts, director, Midwestern Regional Office of the College Board; Charles W. Sanford, dean of admissions and records, University of Illinois; Rixford K. Snyder, director of admissions and financial aids, Stanford University; and B. Alden Thresher, director of admissions emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Clyde Vroman Chairman, Colloquium Committee Director of Admissions, The University of Michigan viii Problems and Issues Confronting the Admissions Community Clyde Vroman There are many complex and growing problemsand issues in the plan- ning of undergraduate admissions policiesfor, this country's colleges and universities, be they publicor private, large or small, old or new, Eleven major problemareas that have important implications for plan- ning appropriate and effective college admissions policiesfor the decade ahead are presented below. 1. College enrollments. A recent report, Projections of Educational Statistics to 1975.76,1 points out that, whereas by 1975-76 the overall school enrollment in the United States will increase by 12percent, the projected jump in college enrollment is 49percent. Colleges and uni- versities are expected to enroll about nine million degree-seekingstu- dents in 1975.76, compared with 6.1 million enrolled in 1966-67. Fig- uresand 2, from that report, show

By Kate Taylor Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell has been voted as Moorabool’s new Mayor. East Ward Councillor John Spain was voted in as Deputy Mayor. Outgoing Mayor Pat Toohey did not re-nominate at the Statutory and Annual Appointments Meeting held last Wednesday 30 October, where Mayor Tatchell won the role with a 5-2 majority. Nominated by East Ward Councillor Allan Comrie, Cr Tatchell gained votes from fellow councillors Comrie, David Edwards, Tonia Dudzik and John Spain. West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan was nominated and voted for by Pat Toohey. New Mayor Tatchell told the meeting he was very fortunate to have been given the privilege of the role. “For former mayor Pat Toohey, to have come on board and then taken on the role of Mayor with four new councillors, he jumped straight in the driver’s seat… and the first few months were very difficult, but he persevered with extreme patience. “And to the experienced councillors we came in contact with from day one, with years of experience, without that, I can’t imagine how a council could have operated with seven new faces. We are incredibly fortunate to have those experienced councillors on board.” Mayor Tatchell also hinted at a vision for more unity in the future. “A bit less of ‘I’ and more of ‘we,’” he said. Deputy Mayor Spain was voted in with votes from councillors Dudzik, Edwards, and Comrie, with Mayor Tatchell not required to cast a vote on a majority decision.

    A Thesis entitled Me Want Food: A Discourse Analysis of 30 Rock by JoAnna R. Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology Dr. Mark Sherry, Committee Chair Dr. Patricia Case, Committee Member Dr. Barbara Coventry, Committee Member Dr. Patricia R. Komuniecki, Dean College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo December 2011 Copyright 2011, JoAnna Ruth Murphy This document is copyrighted material. Under copyright law, no parts of this document may be reproduced without the expressed permission of the author. ii An Abstract of Me Want Food: A Discourse Analysis of 30 Rock by JoAnna R. Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology The University of Toledo December 2011 Using a combination of fat studies, the social construction of the body, Foucauldian approaches to the body, and cultural sociology, this thesis examines discourses about the fat female body in 30 Rock. The body is carnal and fleshy, but it is also socially constructed; this social construction has a long and deep cultural social history, and its power is particularly apparent with regard to the devaluation of the fat female body. By combining multiple theoretical approaches, a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of discourses about the fat body emerges – suggesting that even when shows such as 30 Rock engage with counter-hegemonic discourses about the body such as fat acceptance, they may revert to hegemonic and heteronormative standards of beauty and the fat body. iii For my partner and husband Levi who supported me and grew with me during this time.
