Fall 2009 Riding, Eating and Raising Money for Good Causes Analyze This Not Just Bricks Winning Words 14 17 and Mortar 20 I have a wonderful life and I am forever grateful for that, so I give back. Maybe I can help somebody else along the way. After putting her children through college, Connie Kihm ’95 decided it was her turn to earn a bachelor’s degree. She had had a successful career as a retail buyer, but still wanted “that piece of paper.” At the age of 48, she started her degree at Towson “University, and has wanted to give back ever since. “I give back to the school that has given me so much. Nothing in life is free. If you have been blessed, I believe you need to give,” Kihm says. Amid difficult economic times and declining state support, Kihm realizes how important it is to give to the Towson Fund, TU’s campaign for annual operating support that ” provides students and faculty with vital funding. Most recently, in addition to her annual gift, Kihm focused her support on the new College of Liberal Arts building. As an English major, Kihm was excited to help her alma mater with its beautiful addition. “My husband, Jim, and I donated a classroom in honor of emeritus Professor George Friedman, who inspired me as a student. Although Jim is not a TU graduate he’s a big supporter because of how happy the university made me. His company matches whatever I give,“ she says. Join Connie and the many others whose lives have been touched by their experiences at Towson University. Make a gift and watch it open doors and change lives.

  • ―Basically a True Story:‖ the Beginning Or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb
    ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb By Theresa Lynn Verstreater B.A. in History, December 2008, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of the George Washington University in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts January 31, 2015 Thesis directed by Charles Thomas Long Assistant Professor of History Abstract of Thesis ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb The impact of film as a vehicle for dissolution of information should not be discounted because it allows the viewer to experience the story alongside the characters and makes historical moments more relatable when presented through the modern medium. This, however, can be a double-edged sword as it relates to the creation of collective memory. This thesis examines two films from different eras of the post-atomic world, The Beginning or the End (1947) and Fat Man and Little Boy (1989), to discover their strengths and weaknesses both cinematically and as historical films. Studied in this way, the films reveal a leniency toward what professional historians might consider to be historical ―truth‖ while emphasizing moral ambiguity about the bomb and the complex relationships among the men and women responsible for its creation. While neither film boasts outstanding filmmaking, each attempts to educate the viewer while maintaining entertainment value through romantic subplots and impressive special effects.

    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • The History of STAR TREK Fan Films
    Executive Summary A History of STAR TREK Fan Films Prepared by Jonathan Lane January 2016 This executive summary provides an overview of the independent amateur films made by fans using derivative intellectual property of the Star Trek franchise copyright and trademark holders over the past 50 years. None of the “fan films” listed in this document had a license or approval from CBS, Paramount, Viacom, or Gulf & Western (all of whom held the Star Trek rights over the past five decades). The fan films and series are presented here in a general chronological order by initial release date, although there is unavoidable overlap for series that released new offerings over a period of years. I have endeavored to briefly summarize for each production the content, people involved, and level of professionalism/quality, and (when possible) specifics as to the specific IP used from the long history of the Star Trek franchise. You’ll note that the quality of fan films ranges from the nearly unwatchable to professional-level productions that could easily be mistaken for broadcast television programming or even movie-theater fare. I have also indicated with a star (*) ranking how well known each film/series is generally among Star Trek fans. The rankings are as follows: (*) – Not well known (less than 10K views on YouTube/Vimeo) (**) – Somewhat known (10K-100K views on YouTube/Vimeo) (***) – Mostly known (100K-1M views on YouTube/Vimeo) (****) – Very popular (1M+ views on YouTube/Vimeo) When possible, I have also indicated the amount of money spent on each production and whether or not the project was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or some other online service.
