Ed Ruckstuhl, ’ Interview with Ed Ruckstuhl, ’63 Flying cameras | Words in war | Sowing harmony Spring 2014 A daughter’s dedication to her father For alumni and friends of the University of Alaska Fairbanks EDITOR’S NOTE Birthdays. Children love them, but as we get older some of us wish to deny their existence. For a university, the older it gets the more we wish to celebrate. UAF is coming up on its 100th — yes, 100th — birthday in 2017. There are milestones to acknowledge along the way, such as the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone in 2015. An institution’s centennial is almost always a drawn-out a air intended to generate lots of excitement and nostalgia. UAF’s will be no di erent. To start things rolling, we are going to include in Aurora more history, more alumni interviews, more archival photos, and more trivia and tidbits about our university’s journey to 100. Some of our alumni and friends are coming to the party bearing gifts — Professor Terrence Cole, ’76, ’78, is updating his book, The Cornerstone on College Hill, with the UA Press. Regent Jo Heckman is planning a book about our collective memories of Wood Center. She would love to include yours. Visit www.uaf.edu/woodcenterbook/ to share. There will be more we’ll tell you about soon. We hope you enjoy reading about UAF’s history over the next few years as much as we’ll enjoy digging through the archives to fi nd those treasures to share with you. Celebrate UAF’s centennial with us! Kim Davis, managing editor “Margaret Thomas (now Mrs. O. J. Murie), second year graduate, and fi rst girl to have the honor of an Alaska degree.” When the anonymous writer of this caption described the diploma-bearing Mardy Murie in , the “girl” was just embarking on the adventures and environmental activism for which she would receive national awards and an honorary degree from UAF. The new life sciences facility on the Fairbanks campus was named the Margaret Murie Building in to commemorate her life and work.

  • Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
    ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.

The Care of the Soul Urged as the One Thing Needful “But one thing is needful” Luke 10:42. It was the amiable character of our blessed Redeemer, that “he went about doing good,” this great motive, which animated all his actions, brought him to the house of his friend Lazarus, at Bethany, and directed his behaviour there. Though it was a season of recess from public labour, our Lord brought the sentiments and the pious cares of a preacher of righteousness into the parlour of a friend; and there his doctrine dropped as the rain, and distilled as the dew, as the little happy circle that were then surrounding him. Mary, the sister of Lazarus, with great delight made one amongst them; she seated herself at the feet of Jesus, in the posture of an humble disciple; and we have a great deal of reason to believe, that Martha, his other sister, would gladly have been with her there; but domestic cares pressed hard upon her, and “she was cumbered with much serving,” being, perhaps, too solicitous to prepare a sumptuous entertainment for her heavenly master and the train that attended him. Happy are they, who in a crowd of business do not lose something of the spirituality of their minds, and of the composure and sweetness of their tempers. This good woman comes to our Lord with too impatient a complaint; insinuating some little reflection, not only on Mary, but on himself too.

References Introduction Whenever I practice in public I get a wide variety of people who notice and comment upon the tricks that I do. I'm sure many jugglers hear the same things: "Can you do 20?" or "I had a friend who did 9 chainsaws." It seems that people have a hard time gauging skills (or accurately recalling their friends' abilities) at which they have no direct experience. If I had never run before, I probably wouldn't guess that running a 4:00 mile is vastly more difficult than a 5:00 mile, and that a 3:00 mile is essentially impossible. The limits of human performance are not always easy to guess, and juggling is no exception. How and why is numbers juggling so hard? The intention of this paper is to try to find some answers to the question. The first half is a description of what I consider the important phases of learning, and some suggestions for progressing through them.

  • Stephen King 1947—
    King, Stephen 1947— Author: Tony Magistrale Date: 2000 From: American Writers, Supplement 5 Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons Document Type: Biography; Critical essay Length: 11,425 words About this Person Born: September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, United States Nationality: American Occupation: Novelist Other Names: King, Stephen Edwin; Bachman, Richard; King, Steve (American novelist); Swithen, John; Druse, Eleanor Full Text: Stephen King 1947— Introduction IN A CONVERSATION with Stephen King that took place several years ago, I made the mistake of asking him why he continues to live in Bangor, Maine. I reminded him that the year before he had made fifty million dollars; since he could afford to reside anywhere in the world, why Bangor? King took me in with a look that suggested he had just swallowed some particularly offensive species of bug— indeed, that perhaps I myself were a member of that insect species. His response was a sardonic, “Now, just where would you have me live—Monaco?” This little anecode actually reveals a great deal about Stephen King, the man as well as the writer. Since 1974, the publication year of his first novel, Carrie, King has assembled a prodigious canon. By the late 1990s he had averaged more than a book a year for nearly three decades: 35 novels, 7 collections of short stories and novellas, and 10 screenplays. One consistent element that unifies this broad and eclectic landscape is that the majority of this fiction shares a Maine setting. Born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947, Stephen King has spent almost his entire existence in Maine.
