Cooperation and communication with other chair’s in your District and with your District Chair will make your job easier and ensure an excellent program for 2015 - 2016. You are the key to the selection of the highest quality delegates to ensure a successful Boys State session. This manual is an effort to answer all your questions. It explains the criteria and procedures for selecting your Boys State delegates. Please read and use the information in this manual. By using this manual and selecting the quality of young men we are looking for, it will bring a greater understanding of Americanism to the young people of our communities and continue to make Boys State "the premier youth leadership program in Florida." 2 Frank Sardinha, III Director 561.262.9190 [email protected] Dear Post Boys State Chair: Let me take this opportunity to thank you for accepting the Chairmanship for your post. You have accepted the responsibility of helping to select the State of Florida’s best and brightest. In order to assure we have the most capable Boys Stater your responsibility is essential. The success of the Florida American Legion Boys State program is directly related to how you operate in your position. Cooperation and communication make sure the program runs smoothly. The District Chairmen, and you, must communicate continuously with all of these communications being passed up to the Department level. Meeting all deadlines is critical! It seems every year there are a few who assume they will be called as a reminder to either send their money or registration cards. No reminder will be sent. Know the deadlines and meet the deadlines. Do not assume your inattention to any detail will be considered an emergency on our part. The Samsung Scholarship Program should be emphasized. The Samsung Scholarship is only for those delegates whose parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent were veterans who served during a period of war. Please assist them in determining if they are eligible and encourage your delegates to fill out the application if they are. This year, the Samsung Scholarship application will be paperless – more information will be forthcoming as you select your delegates. Another Scholarship opportunity is the “Two plus Two” where recipients attend two years at Tallahassee Community College followed by two years at Florida State University. This Scholarship includes an award of a scholarship at Tallahassee Community College and one hundred dollars per semester for the purchase of books. Following the completion of an Associates’ degree at TCC, the recipient will receive a scholarship to Florida State University and two hundred fifty dollars per academic year for the purchase of books. This year’s program will run June 19-25, 2016. We look forward to seeing all your delegates in Tallahassee for Florida’s Premier Youth Leadership Program. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students. A participatory program in which students become part of the operation of local, county, and state government, Boys State was founded in 1935 to counter the socialism-inspired Young Pioneer Camps. The program was the idea of two Illinois Legionnaires, Hayes Kennedy and Harold Card, who organized the first Boys State at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. American Legion Auxiliary sponsors a separate but similar program for young women called Girls State. At Boys State, participants learn the rights, privileges and responsibilities of franchised citizens. The training is objective and centers on the structure of city, county, and state governments operated by students elected to various offices. Instruction will also be presented on the law and court system, parliamentary procedure, and Florida political History. At Florida Boys State, citizens will gain hands-on experience on leadership by taking part in the political process through role-play civic exercises. Citizens of Florida Boys State not only will be required to review knowledge already acquired concerning the political machinery of the state of Florida, but they will find themselves running for office as real candidates do in the everyday world. Citizens will be organized into a mythical city, county, and state from where they choose their own officials in accordance with regular election procedures. From there, they learn the duties of the various city, county, and state officers, and they introduce and argue their own bills in a Legislature. The entire program is non-partisan. Problems will be considered without reference to any existing political party and will be free from propaganda to enable the boys to understand some of the responsibilities they will encounter when they become adults. The selection and assignment of the boys to the political parties is in no way connected with the existing political parties in Florida. The Florida Boys State uses mythical parties called “Nationalists” and “Federalists” where none of the principles characterized by any of the existing parties will be adopted by Florida Boys State. 5 IMPORTANT

  • Pink Floyd in Oblikovanje Kolektivnega Spomina
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE VERONIKA ŽABOT Mentorica: doc. dr. MARUŠA PUŠNIK Somentor: asist. dr. GREGOR BULC GLASBENE IN FILMSKE PODOBE 2. SVETOVNE VOJNE: PINK FLOYD IN OBLIKOVANJE KOLEKTIVNEGA SPOMINA DIPLOMSKO DELO LJUBLJANA 2008 Glasbene in filmske podobe 2. svetovne vojne: Pink Floyd in oblikovanje kolektivnega spomina V sodobnem svetu, nasičenem z informacijami, podobami in pomeni, je popularna kultura postala eden od pomembnih medijev, ki soustvarjajo kolektivne predstave o preteklosti. V nalogi so opredeljeni načini ustvarjanja kolektivnih spominov, predvsem na travmatične zgodovinske dogodke ter procesi, preko katerih se popularnokulturni teksti vključujejo vanj. Pri tem imajo pomembno vlogo ideologije, ki s pomočjo za popularno kulturo značilnega subjektivnega diskurza govorijo resnice o bolečih preteklih dogodkih iz izrazite pozicije, izhajajoče iz konteksta sedanjosti. S tem pa preteklost nujno prikazujejo pristransko in zagovarjajo interese določene družbene skupine. Prav zaradi možnosti in prožnih meja, da govorijo določeni popularnokulturni teksti zgodbe in resnice o preteklosti, ki jih je preko drugih kanalov težko ali celo nemogoče povedati, pa omogočajo marginaliziranim skupinam vključevanje novih spominov in resnic v kolektivne okvire. V nalogi je obravnavan eden od tovrstnih tekstov, in sicer projekt The Wall skupine Pink Floyd, ki je skozi glasbo, besedila, film in koncertno turnejo na specifičen način soustvarjal kolektivni spomin na drugo svetovno vojno. Ključne besede: kolektivni spomin, popularna kultura, travma, ideologija, Pink Floyd. Musical and film images of Second World War: Pink Floyd and shaping collective memory In contemporary world full of information, images and meanings popular culture has become one of the important media for re-creating collective notions of the past. In this paper different ways of shaping collective memories of traumatic historical events and processes through which texts defined as popular culture are incorporated in it are presented.

  • [Note: the Songs Appearing in Brackets Were Played on the Radio at This Point in the Interview.]
    [Note: the songs appearing in brackets were played on the radio at this point in the interview.] (TV=Tommy Vance / RW=Roger Waters) TV: Where did the idea come from? RW: Well, the idea for 'The Wall' came from ten years of touring, rock shows, I think, particularly the last few years in '75 and in '77 we were playing to very large audiences, some of whom were our old audience who'd come to see us play, but most of whom were only there for the beer, in big stadiums, and, er, consequently it became rather an alienating experience doing the shows. I became very conscious of a wall between us and our audience and so this record started out as being an expression of those feelings. TV: But it goes I think a little deeper than that, because the record actually seems to start at the beginning of the character's life. RW: The story has been developed considerably since then, this was two years ago [1977], I started to write it, and now it's partly about a live show situation--in fact the album starts off in a live show, and then it flashes back and traces a story of a character, if you like, of Pink himself, whoever he may be. But initially it just stemmed from shows being horrible. TV: When you say "horrible" do you mean that really you didn't want to be there? RW: Yeah, it's all, er, particularly because the people who you're most aware of at a rock show on stage are the front 20 or 30 rows of bodies.
