  • Bridging America's Language
    BRIDGING AMERICA’S LANGUAGE GAP A Call to Action Leaders in American business, government, and education support a national effort to strengthen language education so that individual Americans can more effectively participate in a global society, and the nation as a whole can prosper in a global economy. To join the effort, contact John Tessitore at [email protected]. Why is language education critical to America? Language is the key to cultural understanding. While proficiency in English is essential in many facets of life in the 21st century, at home and abroad, knowledge of English alone is insufficient to meet the nation’s needs in a global society—as noted in America’s Languages: Investing in Language Education for the 21st Century, a report of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. American industry participates in more foreign markets than ever before and the nation is engaged, diplomati- cally or militarily, in every corner of the globe. Challenges in scientific research and technological innovation all require greater international collaboration. And we have a social obligation, established in law, to offer critical social services in languages other than English. As the Academy report states, “[B]y several measures, the United States has neglected languages in its educational curricula, its international strategies, and its domestic policies.” This oversight has had “adverse and often unforeseen consequences at home and abroad—in business and diplomacy, in civic life, and in the exchange of ideas.” A more forward-thinking strategy for meeting future needs would advance policies and investments that promote language education for all Americans.

  • NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island Is Located on the Eastern End of Nebraska 3, Represented by Retiring Congresswoman Virg
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island is located on the Eastern end of Nebraska 3, represented by retiring Congresswoman Virginia Smith. The Third District covers three-quarters of the State, and runs from the corn belt in the East to the wheat and ranching highlands in the West. There are sixty-two counties and alot of pasture. The most Republican district in Nebraska, the Third gave more than 70% of its vote to Ronald Reagan in 1980, and 67% to Bush in 1988. Exon carried only 25 of the district's counties in 1984. Grand Island is the only city in the Third District with more than 30,000 people. Grand Island's major industries include farm implements and meatpacking. A small group of Southeast Asians in the city work at the Montfort meatpacking facility. The Oregon and Mormon trails run through Scottsvluff, which has the only sizable Hispanic population in western Nebraska, a legacy of the migrant labor used to harvest sugar beets over a period of several decades. There are three heavily Democrat counties north of Grand Island: Sherman, Greeley and Howard. Lincoln The State Capital, Lincoln gives the First District an urban flavor, but does not dominate the District as Omaha does in the Nebraska 2. Lancaster County and its suburbs casts just under 40% of the vote. A white-collar town, Lincoln is dominated by state government and the University of Nebraska with its 23,000 students. There's virtually an even number of Democrats to Republicans and Bush won Lancaster County over Dukakis by only 345 votes.
