ABSTRACT Teigen, Danielle Ann, T\L\., Department of Communication, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, North Dakota State University, April 2011. The Press and the Historical Development of Three Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Programs in the L:pper Midwest, 19 50-1980. Major Professor: Dr. Ross Collins. r rom 1950-1980, women's intercollegiate athletic programs experienced exponential growth, with newspapers rarely detailing the journey until Title IX passed in 1972. This project examined how women's athletics developed at North Dakota State University, the Uni,·ersity of North Dakota, and Minnesota State University Moorhead, as well as the correlating press con:rage. Articles from two regional newspapers and three student newspapers from 1950- 1980 illustrated the coverage women's athletics received, while women integrally involved in the three athletic programs from 1950-1980 supplemented the coverage and further explained the development. This thesis proposes a cohesive narrative of the press coverage associated with the development of three women's intercollegiate athletic programs in the Midwest from 1950-1980. The project also speculates on the reasons why different newspapers covered women's athletics in the area differently and why 1975 emerged as a watershed year for women's athletics at NDSU, l 1ND, and T\ISUM. 111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Like e,Tcry other graduate student, I realize this project is not fully my own because of the extensive network of individuals who have contributed to it. I am indebted to every one of them. Thank you to my advisor, Dr. Ross Collins, for encouraging an uncommon project an<l having the wisdom to guide me through it. I also appreciate the direction and feedback my committee members provided throughout this project. I must also recognize Mike Robinson, NDSU archivist, for his tireless enthusiasm about my project and great accessibility to materials. Korella Sc!?.er, library technician, and Curt Hanson, UND archi,Tist, also deserve my thanks for their assistance. This project would not have been possible without the women whose voice brought to life the triumphs and tragedies of women's athletics and the press coverage associated with it. Collette Folstad's unabashed exuberance for women's athletics planted in me the first seeds of excitement about this project. The other women who graciously gave their time to interview with me include Lynn Dorn, Helen Gunderson, Helen Smiley, Connie Gebhardt Courtney, Margaret Peterson, Nancy Johnson, Karen Schumacher, Mary 1\nn Donnay, and Lisa Frickson. They arc the true champions of this project, for they lived and breathed what I could only write about. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my husband, family, and friends for all their endless love and support. I would not have had the strength and determination to finish this project without all of you. Finally, I want to recognize all of the women who have been inducted into the NDSU, UND, and i\fSUM Halls of bmc for their contributions to women's athletics. Each woman has left an indelible mark on her rcspccti,T institution's athletic program, and their past fortitude and talent is a harbinger for future success. A complete list of the women inductees is in .\ppendix C.

Sports mirror the values of the society in which they arc developed, intlucnctng language, clothing, and narratives about heroes and heroines. Pamela Creedon writes that "athletes and teams become our symbolic warriors defending the honor of our schools, towns or nation. Its games and contests become symbolic representations of personal and societal struggles for such things as property, fairness, honor, and economic gain."2 Athletic competition is captivating. From the first foot races in ancient cultures to the high-impact football games omnipresent on television today, athletics represent a treasured pastime enjoyed by many. Athletics represent a "microcosm of society in that many, if not all, of the attributes required to compete and be successful in the athletic area arc prerequisites for basic survival."1 But athletics has a darker side. Sports embody a social force that not only reflects gender differences, but, •.' unfortunately, often creates, amplifies, and even imposes thcm.4 Since the first competitions took place, athletics have been associated with masculinity; physicality, speed, strength, and aggression are synonymous with sports and men. Because of that association, women ha\'C traditionally been deemed physically, emotionally, and mentally incapable of achievmg the same athletic status as their male counterparts. That docs not mean that women have been absent from the athletic field; just the opposite, in fact. \X'omen have been present in many different athletic realms throughout the years, though their inclusion was often met with

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Current Research in the Field of the Medical Problems of Trumpet Playing
    AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF THE MEDICAL PROBLEMS OF TRUMPET PLAYING D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Mark Alan Wade, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Document Committee: Professor Timothy Leasure, Adviser Approved by Professor Alan Green Dr. Russel Mikkelson ________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music ABSTRACT The very nature of the lifestyle of professional trumpet players is conducive to the occasional medical problem. The life-hours of diligent practice and performance that make a performer capable of musical expression on the trumpet also can cause a host of overuse and repetitive stress ailments. Other medical problems can arise through no fault of the performer or lack of technique, such as the brain disease Task-Specific Focal Dystonia. Ailments like these fall into several large categories and have been individually researched by medical professionals. Articles concerning this narrow field of research are typically published in their respective medical journals, such as the Journal of Applied Physiology . Articles whose research is pertinent to trumpet or horn, the most similar brass instruments with regard to pitch range, resistance and the intrathoracic pressures generated, are often then presented in the instruments’ respective journals, ITG Journal and The Horn Call. Most articles about the medical problems affecting trumpet players are not published in scholarly music journals such as these, rather, are found in health science publications. Herein lies the problem for both musician and doctor; the wealth of new information is not effectively available for dissemination across fields.

Favara iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Jeremiah B. Favara Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2017 Title: Recruiting for Difference and Diversity in the U.S. Military After shifting to an all-volunteer force (AVF) in 1973, the U.S. military was forced to expand recruiting efforts beyond the ideal figure of the white male soldier in order to meet personnel needs. Shaped by the economic realities of the AVF, such recruiting efforts sought to show individuals historically excluded from military service, namely women and people of color, that there was a place for them in the military. The presence of women and people of color in recruitment materials contributes to ideals of citizenship and articulates understanding of gender, race, sexuality, and class in relation to military inclusion.

  • Of Pi Kappa Alpha Volume 82 Number 1 September 1971
    OF PI KAPPA ALPHA VOLUME 82 NUMBER 1 SEPTEMBER 1971 DRUG ABUSE AND FR4TERNITY RESPONSIBILITY 2 SHIELD & DJ4MOND September. 1971 EDITORIAL Stan Love I happen to have a strong conviction that, prevalent though the use of marijuana and other drugs may be on our campuses, there are a great many fine young men who do not have any need of it. It is absolutely vital that when these individuals arrive on a cam­ pus there is a fraternity to meet their needs-one which can match their own high standards. I hope our fraternity will be such a group. The permissive fraternity which ignores drug abuse in the house will probably let down the barriers in every other way. Can this type of organization possibly be a strong force for good on the campus? What kind of leadership can come from students who . are psychologically dependent on a narcotic? I personally feel that any chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha which con­ dones the use of drugs and whose officials are neither able nor in­ clined to set and maintain the highest standards will be unable to provide the strong leadership needed in these difficult times, and is selling out the national fraternity and its own members. Some have suggested that drug usage is a dead issue and should not be a topic for this publication to consider. It might be in some places where it is accepted or the group has rejected its usage. However, it is difficult to consider it as a dead issue when more than a dozen articles appear in the daily paper each week on drug matters.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Art Latin American Studies by Andrew Mitchel 2020 © Copyright by Andrew Mitchel 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Dominican Baseball An Exploration of the Modern Major League Baseball Academy System by Andrew Mitchel Master in Latin American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professors Bonnie Taub, Co-Chair Professor Lauren Derby, Co-Chair This project is about Major League Baseball’s (MLB) developmental academies in the Dominican Republic (henceforth D.R.). Athletes from across Latin America, once signed, begin at this first level of Minor League Baseball to prove their sporting abilities, learn English and become consummate professionals. This thesis concerns both the history of the United States (U.S.)-D.R. relationship through the lens of baseball, and ethnographic fieldwork completed at one MLB academy in the D.R. in summer 2019. The research included watching Dominican Summer League games, touring the facility, interviewing staff and sitting in on a high school equivalency course. It analyzes various so-called ‘signs of universality’ as to how baseball is played worldwide: language/ritual, camaraderie, food, education and masculinity. The historical context surrounding the relationship between the nations shows how the baseball academy is one just type of neoliberal and neocolonial enclave in the Dominican Republic. Concluding thoughts cover where this system stands as of 2020 and what can be done to ensure ideal conditions for these teenage players. Keywords: anthropology of sport; U.S.-D.R.

  • Quinton Motor Club Ltd
    Quinton Motor Club Ltd Forewo rd This publication is the result of over two years of investigative research and subsequent communication with many past members of Quinton Motor Club. No formal record of the Club ’s history or its activities existed before this task was under taken. I would particularly like to acknowledge the involvement of the following: Mike & Hilary Stratton , who were the driving force behind the w hole project and have spent countless hours in research and communication with past members , far and wide, a s well as many long journeys from their home in Devon to meet with the rest of us in the Midlands. The other members of the organising committee for the fiftieth anniversary celebrations for their hospitality at meetings, contribution of ideas, research fo r memorabilia , general good humour and enthusiasm that this milestone should be fittingly celebrated (in alphabetical order): Ray Barlow, Susan Butcher, Mike Harris, Nick Jones & Graham Towns hend. This publication has only been made possible by people tur ning out cupboards, garages and lofts to unearth long forgotten gems regarding the Club and its history. Foremost in this is Mike Adams, who has been the major source of information in that he has not thrown ANYTHING away sinc e he joined the Club in the mi d -1970s. Three big cardboard boxes arrived at my house one day in the early Spring of 2008, Ginny was not hap py when they were returned just over a year later, she thought she had seen the last of them..!! Others, not on the organising committee, that h ave unearthed memorabilia are (in alphabetical order): Peter Bayliss, John Davi s, Steve Eagle, Peter Gray , Neil Henderson and finally Dave Bullock who attended the first meeting of the Club and whose recollections of the early years has enabled me to piece together the scant infor mation that still exists from fifty years ago..!! We all hope you enjoy this publication and that its contents makes you smile and brings back happy memories of your time in Quinton Motor Club .
