  • Walk Two Moons
    WALK TWO MOONS SHARON CREECH WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL A Face at the Window Gramps says that I am a country girl at heart, and that is true. I have lived most of my thirteen years in Bybanks, Kentucky, which is not much more than a caboodle of houses roosting in a green spot alongside the Ohio River. Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings (no, that is not true - he did not bring the chestnut tree or the willow or the maple or the hayloft or the swimming hole or any of those things which belong to me) and we drove three hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio. 'Where are the trees?' I said. 'This is where we're going to live?' 'No,' my father said. 'This is Margaret's house.' The front door of the house opened, and Margaret, the lady with the wild red hair, stood there. I looked up and down the street. The buildings were all jammed together like a row of birdhouses In front of each one was a tiny square of grass, and in front of that was a long, long cement sidewalk running alongside the cement road. 'Where's the barn?' I asked. 'Where's the river? Where's the swimming hole?' 'Oh, Sal,' my father said. 'Come along. There's Margaret.' He waved to the lady at the door. 'We have to go back.' I said 'I forgot something.

    House Bill No. 246 Revisited Arthur E. Hallerburg Department of Mathematics Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana 46383 Introduction In the year 1966 the State of Indiana celebrated the Sesquicen- tennial of its admission into statehood, and the Indiana Academy of Science joined in this observance with a number of appropriate activi- ties. Among these was a program of invited papers on the history of the various sciences and of mathematics in the state over the 150-year period. For a small number of persons the association of "Indiana" and "mathematics" immediately brings to mind the true story of the attempt in 1897 of the state legislature to pass a bill establishing a new way of "squaring the circle." In essence the bill would have pro- vided for use in this state a new value of w, the "circle number." But Dr. Will Edington [4], who wrote on the history of mathematics in Indiana for the above observance, did not include reference to this story in his review—and probably rightfully so. For, first of all, the bill was not passed (parenthetically, nor was it defeated—only "indefi- nitely postponed"); second, incorrect or false "mathematics" is not mathematics; and finally, Dr. Edington had already recounted in detail in the 1937 Proceedings of the Academy [3] the action of both the House and the Senate on House Bill 246. Accounts of circle squarers and angle trisectors have been so com- mon over the centuries that mathematicians customarily pay them no concern. The fact that the mathematical work of E. J. Goodwin, M.D., found its way into the legislative halls and was almost passed into law has set this solution somewhat apart from the rest.

Coughlin May 2013 © 2013 Steven M. Coughlin. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Another City by STEVEN M. COUGHLIN has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Mark Halliday Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT STEVENM. COUGHLIN, Ph.D., May 2013, English Another City Director of Dissertation: Mark Halliday The dissertation is divided into two sections: an essay titled “Stevens’ Ontology: Struggles of the Mind” and a book manuscript titled Another City. “Stevens’ Ontology: Struggles of the Mind” presents an examination of the ontological vision Wallace Stevens presents in his poem “Sunday Morning” and then considers problems this vision encounters in subsequent poems. Among the issues Stevens struggles with are the demands of his ego upon his imagination to elevate himself to the status of a deity, the pressures of personal grief and social unrest upon Stevens’ desire to remain a detached observer, and Stevens’ inability to produce a vision liberated from Christian rhetoric. Another City is a collection of poetry that explores family trauma and the role of the imagination as an alternative to grim reality. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract ..............................................................................................................................
