Here are a few: Why does the Academy return money to the state at the end of the budget year? Simple answer ... we don’t. In fact, to my knowledge, the Academy has never returned money. The past two years we have had to reduce course offerings during May and June, due to shortfalls in our operational budget. This is why we have asked for an increase to our bud- get, of $300,000, along with a one-time appropriation of On behalf of the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy $600,000. These increases have been approved by the (UFRA), I hope everyone is enjoying the new year as Fire Prevention Board, the Public Safety Budget Office, we head into spring.

  • Formations of Masculinities in Vietnam War Fiction and Film
    PRISONERS OF WAR: FORMATIONS OF MASCULINITIES IN VIETNAM WAR FICTION AND FILM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Brenda M. Boyle, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Debra Moddelmog, Advisor Professor John Hellmann Advisor Professor Linda Mizejewski Department of English ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the Vietnam War and social movements of the time altered the way Americans conceive of masculinity, an alteration represented in some narratives of the War. Decades after the conclusion of American involvement in Vietnam, this revision of the social gender script is still evident in narratives that are not always directly concerned with the War. This new discourse of masculinities appears in narratives not only fictional, but also in memoirs, films, and recruiting advertisements, suggesting that what Lauren Berlant calls the “National Symbolic,” or the framework through which Americans constitute themselves as Americans, has adjusted along the following lines. First, the era made it imperative to imagine a plurality of masculinities, determining that a single model of masculine gender to which men should aspire might not be desirable and probably never was possible. This explains, among other things, the disenchantment repeatedly expressed by soldiers in the narratives with the John Wayne-model of masculinity displayed in so many World War II movies, and the subsequent need to devise new forms of masculinity that would suit the particularities of the Vietnam War. In pluralizing masculinity, the narratives propose that gender is performative, amorphous, and historically contingent, often concluding that masculinities may not be reserved only for males, but that females also may choose to enact masculinity.

  • BLOOD on the PLOW: EXTREMIST GROUP ACTIVITY DURING the 1980S FARM CRISIS in KANSAS
    BLOOD ON THE PLOW: EXTREMIST GROUP ACTIVITY DURING THE 1980s FARM CRISIS IN KANSAS by CALEB CORRELL Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: Dr. David Farber, Thesis Coordinator Dr. Sara Gregg, Committee Member Dr. Jonathan Hagel, Committee Member Date Defended: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 On February 23, 1983, Phil Donahue started an episode of his talk show seated across a table from a bespectacled, well-dressed man in a blue suit and black tie. Donohue’s guest was the self-titled “National Director for Counter-insurgents of Posses of America” James Wickstrom. Wickstrom’s respectable appearance became secondary to his diatribes, which came wrapped in a rapid-fire cadence with a Midwestern accent. Wickstrom indicted a complex system he believed was disenfranchising white Christian farmers in the United States: “international bankers and the private central bank called the Federal Reserve of the United States.” When Donohue pressed Wickstrom on the antisemitic and racist beliefs of his group, Posse Comitatus, Wickstrom answered that they were “pro-Christian” and dedicated to defending what he described as a Supreme Court-affirmed “Christian republic” in the United States. Wickstrom also stated that Jews had “their own nation in Israel” and that he did not “believe anyone should pay a progressive Communist income tax.” Phil Donahue later asked Wickstrom about the legal theories of Posse Comitatus, in respect to property foreclosures, to

It’s an awesome sight, truly beyond description. In your hands you hold a four-dollar, throw-away camera. You snap a picture. Thirty-five years later you pull that faded photo from an old trunk and show it to a friend, trying to help him understand the awesome majesty of the Canyon. He yawns. It’s nearly impossible for him to capture the grandeur of that moment thirty-five years ago. And, frankly, he doesn’t give a rip. So you stuff it. Now imagine that as a young man you rode with The Blackhorse in Vietnam, sharing that most significant experience with a handful of other Blackhorse troopers. Then you DEROSed back to an America that, frankly, didn’t give a rip. And so, you stuffed it. How could you possibly explain it, anyway? In the years to come, Vietnam lay hidden away in a far-off corner of your mind. Every now and then you tried to share the experience, but each telling was an exercise in frustration.
