  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly
    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections. (For descriptions of these earlier campaigns and analyses of recent Alabama politics see Cotter 1991; Cotter 2002; Ellington 1999; Cotter and Gordon 1999 and Stanley 2003).

  • The History of Two-Year Education
    A CENTURY OF CHANGE: THE HISTORY OF TWO-YEAR EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA, 1866 - 1963 by DUSTIN P. SMITH STEPHEN G. KATSINAS, COMMITTEE CHAIR KARI A. FREDERICKSON WAYNE J. URBAN NATHANIEL J. BRAY ROBERT P. PEDERSEN A DOCTORAL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Dustin P. Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Much has been written about two-year education in Alabama during the governorships of George C. Wallace, but little about two-year education prior to his first inauguration in 1963. Yet nearly a third of the forty-three junior, technical, and community college institutions that eventually formed the Alabama Community College System had been established prior to 1963. This study reviews the major types of two-year colleges (historically black private junior college, public trade schools, and public junior colleges) established in Alabama from 1866 to 1963 by drawing upon case studies of institutional founding based upon primary document analysis. Alabama’s first two-year institution was Selma University established in 1878 by the Alabama Colored Baptist Convention. Selma University operated as a private junior college for the newly freed slaves hungry for education. The first public two-year institution was the Alabama School of Trades, founded in Gadsden in 1925, which offered vocational education courses. A second trade school was established using federal vocational aid money in Decatur to produce trained workers to support the World War II war efforts.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in ' sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • THE SYRUP MAN's FINE CAR by Robert W
    THE SYRUP MAN'S FINE CAR by Robert W. Maddox June 14, 1975‐‐‐ Watching it round the curb this afternoon was a lot like the first child that leaves for college. I sold it today to my best friend, Ed Stanley for $450 after a piston ring overhaul in my driveway over the last couple months. Recently, there was hardly enough compression to keep it cranked up much less running like the old car was accustomed. So, either overhaul the engine “shady tree”style this spring or call a salvage yard wrecker to move it. I could not bear the emotion for the latter but I knew about the nasty, grueling work ahead if the choice was the former. With my college buddy Ed rounding the last curve of the road heading out of Springbrook Drive, I turned sideways to the rusting chain link fence. A flood of cascading tears brought forward eventful memories of my past with it. Walking back into our little kitchen, my wife Diane noticed as all wives do, a melancholic demeanor. She said, “ I think it would be better if you went back to the bedroom for a two hour nap”‐‐ I did just that, hoping for a reprieve from my fretful and grieving mood. There were too many recollections of my long partnership with it, the “Green Machine” that deflated my emotional level today. November 28, 1959‐‐‐ “VADIE‐‐ Vadie, stop it, git it off me right now!— Have a little mercy man, you have got me dripping wet back here”. When you are washing cars in winter months, gas station attendants are always “spray peppered down to their uncomfortable ice packed britches, wool socks and heavy leather boots”.
