Educational institutions employing instruction by television have found recorded telecourses from Great Plains National Instructional Television Library playing a significant role in their curricular planning. Thousands of youngsters and hundreds of teachers have viewed ma- terials distributed by the Great Plains Library over the past six years. The strength and usefulness of this material is indicated by the fact that the course re-use rate, from year to year, has ranged from 95 to 99 per cent. These significant statistics, indicating enthusiastic and continued accept- ance, assure a high degree of validity in the material. New quality telecourses are continually being added to the Great Plains' offering, as shown in the pages of this 1968 catalog. The Library's pledge is that education be served progressively and efficiently through ambitious and thoughtful use of the television medium. We invite you to read this catalog. It is a graphic outline of our ability to serve you well. DR. KENNETH E. OBERHOLTZER Chairman, GPNITL Policy Board, and Sup't of Public Schools (Retired) Denver, Colorado WALTER K.

The student searches forknowledge...the teacher, in addition to his quest forexpanded personal knowledge, looks for waysin which to upgrade the quality of his instruction.Forward-looking teachers appreciate stimuliwhich may spur them toward in- novation and the use of materials andtools which will help them be moreeffective in their work. Perhaps the most important andmeaningful aspect of this search lies in thefinding of material which challenges the student to developbetter observation and listening skills.This type of stimulus is found in good instructional television coursesand, consequently, schools wiselyusing ITV have found it to be a tool of great value. However, the production of qualityinstructional television lessons requiresspecial talent, a sizeable staff, much time, hard work and money.In some instances these expendituresof time and talent are un- necessary becausequality materials have already been produced,recorded and made available on video tape. The Great Plains NationalInstructional Television Library now supplies manyof the best instruc- tional television lessons made inthe United States. These series of lessons,produced and used by major non-profit educational institutions overthe nation, are described on the pagesof this catalog. PAUL H. SCHUPBACH Director, GPNITL X / AA r L. TRACY CLEMENT Associate Director 4 MILTON E. HOFFMAN Programming Counselor C, ' W. T. (Bill) SEMRAD Programming Counselor Just how and why did the Great PlainsNational ITV Library come into being? A study undertaken in 1960 and 1961by Jack McBride and W. C. Meierhenry of theUniversity of Ne- braska (made in cooperation withthe U. S. Office of Education) revealed that map,/recorded ITV courses had been producedprivately for independent use in school systems overthe country. The question became: how could this extantmaterial best be acquired, stored, duplicated anddis- tributed to schools desirous of its use.`Thc., idea formed: through the establishment ofdistribution cen- ters or "libraries"exclusively organized for these tasks. The Great Plains Library thus cameinto being in 1962 as one of these experimental centers.It was initially funded by the U. S. Office ofEducation as a Title VII project. After only four years of opera- tion under the aegis of USOE, Library assumed total fiscal independence andresponsibility in No- vember 1966. This new phase in the operation ofGPNITL came about due to the continued andgrowing usage of the Library's instructionalmaterials by educational institutions across theUnited States. Though no longer the recipient of Federalfunds, the Library continues to work under theadminis- trative wing of the University ofNebraska Television Department ...and under policies established by a policy board (currently 12 members)comprised of persons from across the nationrepresentative of all levels of educational interests. The basic purpose of the Library is toprovide for the acquisition, storage,duplication and distribu- and local, pri- tion of videotaped instructionalmaterials...and to make them accessible for use by state vate and publiceducational agencies for use in elementary orsecondary schools and institutions of higher learning. During the 1966-67 school year, theLibrary served 75 educational patrons across theUnited States (Alaska and Hawaii included) andin Canada. Course-uses from GPNITLduring the period totaled 259, representing the duplication anddistribution of nearly 7,800 separate telecourselessons. A state-by-state listing of Library users may befound elsewhere in this catalog. More than 80 separate courses in avariety of subject matter areas and ranging throughthe elementary, secondary and college scholastic levels are nowavailable through the Great Plains Librarya distantand astounding leap from the single courseoffered by the Library during its first year ofexistence. Because the majority of these courses areprimarily supplemental in nature (the college levelmaterial curriculum of almost any school. However, each course excepted),they can easily be adapted to the should be carefully considered as toits suitability for use in view of localeducational needs. Distribution of these recorded coursesis through duplicate video tape recordings madefrom dupli- cation masters held at the GreatPlains National Instructional Television Library.Individual

  • William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected]
    Department of Languages, Literature & Philosophy Languages, Literature & Philosophy Working Papers Tennessee State University Year 2007 William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Research@Tennessee State University. http://e-research.tnstate.edu/llp wp/2 William James and the Individual 1 William James and His Individual Crisis I. Introduction Students of William James have long commented on how critical periods of his life compelled crucial developments in his philosophical thought. Ralph Barton Perry was the first to capitalize upon this recognition, with his examination of how James’s depression resulted in a very practical and highly personalized belief in the necessity of action as the only viable response to the Darwinian “process of the universe” (Perry 1: 322). Charlene Seigfried posits that, in addition to this seminal event, James likely faced two other crises. In 1895, he turned from psychological studies to specifically philosophical issues (William James’s Radical Reconstruction 12). In 1908-1909, these endeavors forced him to “give up ‘intellectualistic logic’” entirely and depend on a reconstructed “rational strand” in order to answer the old question (first posed in The Principles of Psychology) of how many consciousnesses can be at the same time one consciousness (13). Such insights have enriched and enlivened James studies, but the generalized conclusion they indicate—that James’s philosophy was an intensely lived but largely successful experience—deserves reevaluation. The first part of this judgment is accurate; the second is far less so. James’s first crisis was without doubt a lonely experience precipitated by questions of his responsibility to society and his place among others’ lives (Perry 1: 322).

  • Organized Crime in Bulgaria: Markets and Trends
    ORGANIZED CRIME IN BULGARIA: MARKETS AND TRENDS ���������� ������������ ��������� The present report builds upon various studies published by the Center for the Study of Democracy throughout the last decade which have focused on specific aspects of organized crime in Bulgaria (contraband, the drug market, tax fraud, human trafficking, arms proliferation, etc.), the systemic spread of corruption, and the linkages between the two. The report presents the latest trends and manifestations (or “market niches”) of syndicate crime and its particularly damaging effects. It goes further to offer a historical review of the facts and available expertise in the area, and to draw conclusions about the origin, characteristics and developmental features of organized criminality in Bulgaria in the context of the transition to democracy. This report attempts to present an authentic picture of organized crime in Bulgaria, by identifying its constitu- ent features and major trends. The research team has used information from all available sources, analyzing it through several, complementary methods. Collecting empirical data about clandestine and hidden markets is a hard task, which can sometimes put the researchers at risk. However, it cannot be dispensed with, particularly as the so called objective data (police and judicial crime statistics) provided by public bodies is often incomplete and sometimes manipulated. This paper also furthers expertise exchange through a public-private partnership. This publication has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of the Center for the Study of Deocracy and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union.

  • Boston in Henry James's the Bostonians
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 19 (2008) From City of Culture to City of Consumption: Boston in Henry James’s The Bostonians Yuko NAKAGAWA* Henry James’s The Bostonians (1886) distinguishes itself from his other works by its disturbing narrator1 and its all-American setting, which amounts to a frank criticism of his home country. In fact some of the novel is so sar- castic that when fi rst serialized in The Century, James had to defend himself even to his brother in his letters.2 His intention can be seen in his Notebook as follows: The relation of the two girls should be a study of one of those friendships between women which are so common in New England. The whole thing is as local, as American, as possible, and full of Boston; an attempt to show that I can write an American story. There must, indispensably, be a type of newspaper man—the man whose ideal is energetic reporter. I should like to bafouer [French: ridicule] the vulgarity and hideousness of this—the impudent invasion of privacy—the extinc- tion of all conception of privacy, etc. I wished to write a very American tale, a tale very characteristic of our social conditions, and I asked myself what was the most salient and peculiar point in our social life. The answer was: the situation of women, the decline of the sentiment of sex, the agitation on their behalf.3 Apparently James’s intention was to write “a very American tale” and to him it was about the friendship between women, journalism that invaded privacy, and the women’s movement which seemed to him to diminish women’s feminine nature.
