Diane Bishop, State Superintendent of Public Instruction 1992 li 4 THE MOUNTAIN PLAINS ADULT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The Mountain Plains Adult Education Association serves members in an eight state region. The Association has grown from the conviction of a few hard working pioneers to a tremendously viable force in the field of adult and continuing education. The Association had its genesis in 1942 at which time the original charter was developed and the founding policies finalized. For eleven years a series of "on again-off again" meetings was held. In 1953, the Association's mission statement was refined and MPAEA has had a continued membership and board structure since that year. The four original states were Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. In 1961, Arizona, Idaho and Nevada joined. Montana become the eighth state in 1988. This year, 1992, is the 50th anniversary of MPAEA. The Association is the oldest regional adult education organi7, ion in the United States.During its half century of operation, the Association has expanded services to state affiliate organizations, implemented state staff development initiatives, promoted additional educational opportunities for adults, increased public awareness of lifelong learning and developed partnerships in addressing state and federal legislative issues. Historically, MPAEA has been on "the cutting edge" of adult education as a state, regional and national imperative. 1942-1992 MOUNTAIN PLAINS ADULT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION iii FOREWORD by Dr. Gary A. Eyre Deputy Associate Superintendent Adult Education Programs Arizona Department of Education and President Mountain Plains Adult Education Association This publication is the result of a concern and action taken by the Mountain Plains Adult Education Association (MPAEA). The concern originated at the summer meeting of officers and board members in New Mexico. Members identified the need for a demographic data base for each of the Association's eight states. Again, at the annual meeting in Sun Valley, Idaho, the membership expressed the need for increasing the statistical profile on each state. The Association recognized the escalating demands of our civic and economic life as adding an urgency to state efforts to provide increased quality educational services to adults. In order to meet these new demands, to facilitate planning and to have quality programs, the provider needs a framework of sound information, population indicators and trends. Action was taken by the MPAEA Board to commission an extensive research initiative of data-gathering which would result in a major publication. DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS IN ADULT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION was a two-year effort and is the most comprehensive regional adult and continuing education demographic resource document ever published. The Association is indebted to Dr. James J. Jelinek, for his untiring work, research, and leadership in making this publication possible. His dedication of service to the Mountain Plains Adult Education Association is greatly appreciated. iv 6 PREFACE It is a basic purpose of Demographic Factors inAdult and Continuing Education to help teachers, administrators, and policymakers in adult and continuing education identify the interests, needs, and problems of adult students to which the educational process must be meaningful and relevant. Even if students in adult and continuing education programs read more, look more, and listen more than the students of any previous era, their voracity will not bring wisdom if what they read, see, and hear is so utterly barren of meaning and relevance in their lives it is immediately forgotten. At bottom, the goal of all education in one way or another is social/self realization. Faced with an increase in crime, environmental deteriorization, a drug culture out of control, and the prospect of long-term economic decline, adults turn to education as a quest for developing meaning in their lives, a quest in which apathy does not have a place. The greatest threat to our future is not from aggression and force, but from indifference; cultures perish not from the amide but the inside, not in the mucous light of confrontation, but in the quiet darkness of apathy. In a word, programs of education for adults must be instrumental in meeting the demands of those demographic factors that are of most profound concern to the students involved in those programs. The data identified in this book are many and variedpopulation distribution, ethnicity, disease, births, deaths, health, nutrition, education, law enforcement, environment, elections, government, employment, finances, social insurance, human services, veterans affairs, national defense, labor force, earnings, income, expenditures, wealth, prices, banking, business, science, technology, transportation, agriculture, forests, fisheries, mining, housing, construction, and manufacturing. As areas of statistical concern have grown, finding accurate statistics has become increasingly more difficult. Using statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Census, hundreds

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act
    The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act ERIC C. RUSNAK* The public lands of the United States have always provided the arena in which we Americans have struggled to fulfill our dreams. Even today dreams of wealth, adventure, and escape are still being acted out on these far flung lands. These lands and the dreams-fulfilled and unfulfilled-which they foster are a part of our national destiny. They belong to all Americans. 1 I. INTRODUCTION For some Americans, public lands are majestic territories for exploration, recreation, preservation, or study. Others depend on public lands as a source of income and livelihood. And while a number of Americans lack awareness regarding the opportunities to explore their public lands, all Americans attain benefits from these common properties. Public land affect all Americans. Because of the importance of these lands, heated debates inevitably arise regarding their use or nonuse. The United States Constitution grants to Congress the "[p]ower to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the... Property belonging to the United States." 2 Accordingly, Congress, the body representing the populace, determines the various uses of our public lands. While the Constitution purportedly bestows upon Congress sole discretion to manage public lands, the congressionally-enacted Antiquities Act conveys some of this power to the president, effectively giving rise to a concurrent power with Congress to govern public lands. On September 18, 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Proclamation 69203 under the expansive powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act4 ("the Act") establishing, in the State of Utah, the Grand * B.A., Wittenberg University, 2000; J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, 2003 (expected).
