  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

SOCCER HEADGEAR EFFECTS ON IMPACT PROFILES DURING A HEADING SCENARIO A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Bioengineering by Ryan Patrick Posey December 2006 Accepted by: Dr. Lisa Benson, Committee Chair Dr. Martine LaBerge Dr. Karen Burg ABSTRACT The risk of head injuries in the sport of soccer has recently become a topic of concern, particularly with youth players whom may suffer long-lasting or even permanent effects from a severe head injury. In response to these worries, headguards have been developed specifically for use in soccer. These headguards have been studied using crash test dummy heads mounted with various electronic instruments – accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. The headgear-mounted dummy heads have been struck with various objects (soccer ball, another dummy head, pole, etc) to test for changes in head acceleration response. Testing of soccer headgear has previously been limited to dummy head models.

    Runners-Up 5-8 years age group Name: Clara T Age: 5 Description: This story was inspired by a large sequin star that Clara brought home from pre-school. She held it in her hand as she spoke the story. “The stars are kind. They help to look after people and make them happy. That is what makes the stars heroes”. Judges notes: “Beautiful imagination and empathy. Fiction teaches us to care about others – such empathy at so young an age!” The Stars Shine There are stars that help us to climb on them and the rainbow helps to make a ladder to them and then the people can get them when they are really sad. The stars will help them and they fill their buckets. They read a book to them and then give them and then give them cuddles when they have finished. It makes the sad person happy. About the rainbow – it will tell us somewhere quiet in the land and we fly out and no-one can see us if we want. We sit on the clouds and the rainbow will tell us if there are people that are sad. The stars move and she when they see someone crying and then they move down to help the person. Each person has a star. Name: Jai H Age: 7 Description: The super heroes are looking for a new member of their team – Super Duck is born! Judges notes: “Great imagination and narrative with humour”. “Good imagination” “It’s about time we had an ‘underduck’ superhero!” Super Duck In a calm little pond right next to a park a large family of ducks were happily swimming in a pond.

Have a go at making your own St Edward’s crown You will need: • Thick paper or card • Colouring pencils or felt tips • Scissors • Glue and/or stapler • A strip of paper to fit round your head Instructions 1) Print out the St Edward’s Crown template onto thick paper or card. If you don’t have a printer, you or a grown up could draw out the shape. 2) Colour it in with colouring pencils or felt tips. 3) Cut around the outline. 4) Put some glue at the base of the crown and stick it to the headband. 5) Measure the headband to fit your head and ask a grown up to staple it for you. Or, why not get creative and design your own crown? Make a crown with whatever materials you have in the house. You could use: • Empty cereal boxes as card • Tin foil to cover your crown and make it look silver • Tinsel leftover from Christmas time to add some sparkly decoration Now you are ready for your coronation Minimum people needed: 2 Maximum people needed: 8,000 (Please follow government guidelines around large gatherings!)
