A strip of treeless prairie rises to a small hill. The cemetery is on the hill, is fenced, and measures 140’ x 145’. The Jewish community owns five acres that include the cemetery, the access trail, and native prairie area surrounded by cultivated fields. It is the only permanent physical reminder of the Ramsey County Jewish farming community, the second settled agricultural Jewish settlement 1 in North Dakota, and is the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in the state. 1 William C.

As for how much of the 140’ x 145’ cemetery plot is in use; the directional North arrow (right margin) is about where the current sign and gate into the cemetery are located, concluding the northern half has most gravesites (see figure on page 6). There is doubt whether the Jewish Cemetery Association (in 1933) considered placement of existing burial locations when they mapped out all the 12’ x 18’ plots seen on this survey map. Section 7 page 5 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Sons of Jacob Cemetery Ramsey County, ND Name of Property County and State 1933 Sons of Jacob Cemetery survey map We, Julius Glickson, Pres., and Alex Canter, Secy., of the Jewish Cemetery Association, do hereby certify that the Jewish Cemetery Association is the owner of the within described property and course the same to be surveyed and platted. Signed by Julius Glickson, President and Alex Canter, Secretary. I, H.E. Stenseth, do hereby certify the following is a correct description of the above property; beginning of a point 1520 feet North and 1010 feet West of the SE corner of Section 27-157-63; thence due West 140 feet; thence due North 145 feet; thence due East 140 feet, thence due South 145 feet to the place of beginning. Signed by H.E. Stenseth. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 31st day of August, 1933, signed Herman Stenseth, Clerk of the District Court. General Overview The Jewish community referred to as the Garske Colony began forming in the 1880s along with the Jewish burying ground named the Sons of Jacob Cemetery with burials from about 1888 until 1935. The Sons of Jacob Cemetery name derived from the Sons of Jacob St. Paul Synagogue Section 7 page 6 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Sons of Jacob Cemetery Ramsey County, ND Name of Property County and State whose members sent financial assistance to the Garske Colony.2 The Sons of Jacob received an organizational charter from the North Dakota Secretary of State in October 1929. It is unknown why the group did not get a charter until this time. The twenty individuals who made up the initial membership had the task of determining whether they would build a synagogue. Since Jewish worship does not require a special building, they never did. The congregation conducted religious activities for the Jewish families of Devils Lake and those who lived in nearby areas in several homes, the township school, and later at the Devils Lake courthouse. The Sons of Jacob Cemetery is the oldest cemetery of the three-remaining visible Jewish homestead cemeteries in North Dakota, the other two being the Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery and the Regan/Wing Jewish Cemetery.3 The Sons of Jacob Cemetery was the major site for burial of the Jewish homesteading farmers and families close to the Devils Lake community, and between Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

  • The Filibuster and Reconciliation: the Future of Majoritarian Lawmaking in the U.S
    The Filibuster and Reconciliation: The Future of Majoritarian Lawmaking in the U.S. Senate Tonja Jacobi†* & Jeff VanDam** “If this precedent is pushed to its logical conclusion, I suspect there will come a day when all legislation will be done through reconciliation.” — Senator Tom Daschle, on the prospect of using budget reconciliation procedures to pass tax cuts in 19961 Passing legislation in the United States Senate has become a de facto super-majoritarian undertaking, due to the gradual institutionalization of the filibuster — the practice of unending debate in the Senate. The filibuster is responsible for stymieing many legislative policies, and was the cause of decades of delay in the development of civil rights protection. Attempts at reforming the filibuster have only exacerbated the problem. However, reconciliation, a once obscure budgetary procedure, has created a mechanism of avoiding filibusters. Consequently, reconciliation is one of the primary means by which significant controversial legislation has been passed in recent years — including the Bush tax cuts and much of Obamacare. This has led to minoritarian attempts to reform reconciliation, particularly through the Byrd Rule, as well as constitutional challenges to proposed filibuster reforms. We argue that the success of the various mechanisms of constraining either the filibuster or reconciliation will rest not with interpretation by † Copyright © 2013 Tonja Jacobi and Jeff VanDam. * Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of Law, t-jacobi@ law.northwestern.edu.

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
