From roughly 1940 through 1980, the party dominated the county’s state legislative races and held most county offices. “There was a time when you could count on Tooele County to elect good Democrats like Karl Swan, George Mantes and Ron Allen to the state Senate,” said Beverly White, former Tooele County Democratic Party chair and a former Democratic state represen- tative from Tooele. “The party was doing really well when the depot was open as government workers tend to be more Democratic.” Today, however, the local Democratic party appears to be a shadow of its former self. Poor attendance at last week’s neighborhood caucus meetings — held in five locations as opposed to Republicans’ 16 locations — was only one sign of the decline. Others include the inability to find a Democrat to run for the only photography / Troy Boman countywide office on the ballot in 2008, a county Traffic moves along I-80 Tuesday morning near the Tooele County line. Easy access to the Salt Lake Valley and lower home prices have contributed to the county’s commission seat, and the inability of any Democrat steady growth rate this decade. to unseat a Republican on the county commission for nearly eight years.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

As I sat watching the wedding of Kevin and Scotty on Brothers & Sisters, I was moved by the grav- ity of the moment. Never before had two leading gay characters wed on a broadcast network. Watching them, I saw myself, a member of the gay community, reflected on television. Just four days after the episode aired, the Califor- nia Supreme Court handed down its decision extending marriage in the state to gay and lesbian couples. Progress is happeningI everywhere we look. As we can see in the country’s current cultural and political shift, that progress doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
