Known origi- nally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president. TStudents in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tiger as the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict.) Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the academic counseling offices. In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers Col- lege.

  • Freeborn Men of Color: the Franck Brothers in Revolutionary North America, 1755-1820
    FREEBORN MEN OF COLOR: THE FRANCK BROTHERS IN REVOLUTIONARY NORTH AMERICA, 1755-1820 Shirley L. Green A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Radhika Gajjala Graduate Faculty Representative Lillian Ashcraft-Eason Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina Rebecca Mancuso © 2011 Shirley Louise Swan Green All Rights Reserved iii Abstract Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor This dissertation examines the lives of William and Ben Franck, freeborn men of color, who used military service as a means to assert their manhood, gain standing in their community, and help to create free African American and African Canadian communities during the Revolutionary Era. It focuses on the lives and experiences of the Franck family from the 1750s, when Rufus Franck served in the French and Indian War, until the 1820s, when his younger son, Ben Franck, settled in Nova Scotia. At each step of the story, this study analyzes the communities of free people of color with whom the Franck brothers interacted. In doing so, this project challenges traditional narratives and stereotypes of African Americans during the Colonial and Revolutionary Eras. The Franck brothers’ individual histories, closely analyzed, have the power to expand the prism through which we view early American people of color, so that we see their reality more sharply in three ways. 1. The establishment of free families of color and communities throughout North America, from the pre-Revolutionary period until postwar America, was limited by social prejudices and legal prohibitions.

The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its investigation into whether Radio License Holding CBC, LLC (Radio License), and Radio License’s parent, Cumulus Radio Corporation (CRC), broadcast announcements on radio station WOKQ(FM), Dover, New Hampshire (Station), without adequate sponsorship disclosure in violation of the Commission’s sponsorship identification laws. 2. The Commission’s sponsorship identification laws protect consumers and promote fair competition by requiring that the sponsors of paid programming material be clearly identified. Those laws are based on the principle that listeners and viewers are entitled to know who seeks to persuade them. The disclosures required by those laws provide listeners and viewers with information concerning the source of material in order to prevent misleading or deceiving those listeners and viewers. Enforcement of the sponsorship identification laws also protects fair competition among advertisers. We seek to prevent sponsors from gaining unfair advantage by paying stations to present promotional messages without appropriate disclosures, while their competitors observe the rules and present their content as properly acknowledged commercial advertisements. 3.
