Where else can you get a package deal such as this? For enjoyment, there's California's famous sun, sand, and surf, and the exciting social events the convention committee is planning. For education and training in chapter techniques, there's the Leadership School which was so enthusiastically received at its inception at the 1958 Convention, and an excellent program of workshops which will be equally valuable to the alumnre. For inspiration, there's the unforgettable thrill of attending a Kappa Convention and meeting your sisters from all parts of the United States and Canada. Those who attend for the first time are always intrigued to discover the existence of a group called, "The Habiteers." To qualify for membership, one must have attended at least five conventions. As you might expect, the rapidly-expanding membership includes almost all of your Fraternity officers and chairmen; what might surprise you is that many lay-Kappas are also represented. There are numerous alumnre who have formed the "Convention Habit," and who join us because they have discovered how interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable these conferences are. As a matter of fact, many actives attend both the Conventions which occur while they are undergraduates, and thus are well on their way to acquiring that "Convention Habit." Perhaps we should form a Junior Auxiliary for them! Come and see for yourselves what these many Kappas have found to be true­ Convention is the greatest.

  • 2011 Annual Report
    2011 Annual Report Dear Friends: The school playground is something many of us take for granted. Kids go to recess, they run around and then they come back to class ready to start learning again. That’s what I remembered. Then one day in 1996 when I was visiting an Oakland elementary school, I had a chance encounter with a frustrated principal who gave me a dose of recess reality and asked for my help in changing the recess dynamic. And just like that, Playworks was born. But while Playworks began as a response to the challenges of recess, what we’ve learned is that recess has the promise and potential to be one of the most powerful tools of the school day. “In play a child always be- haves beyond his average age, It’s now 15 years since Playworks launched on our first playgrounds. above his daily behavior.

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.

  • ABSTRACT MYRICK, CAROLINE MARIE. Language and Gender
    ABSTRACT MYRICK, CAROLINE MARIE. Language and Gender Ideologies in Higher Education: An Examination of Faculty Discourses. (Under the direction of Dr. Martha Crowley and Dr. Walt Wolfram). Gender inequality persists in workplaces across the country despite growing convictions of gender egalitarianism (Charles and Grusky 2007; Ridgeway 2011). In addition to inequality at the structural level, everyday verbal interactions reproduce gender inequality within institutions as well (Lester 2008; Ridgeway 2011; Schwalbe et al. 2000). Language itself is variable for gender discrimination, with women being disproportionately sanctioned for their speech at work (Carli 1990). Research on language and gender at work, however, has focused on corporate sector, leaving unanswered questions about other workplaces. Universities are important sites for investigation, because they are not only workplaces but also training grounds for students. While we know that language ideologies can reproduce ethnic and class-based inequalities in the university setting (Dunstan 2013; McBride 2006; Scott 2008), we know little about language and gender in higher education. What linguistic pressures or obstacles do women faculty face? How do linguistic practices of faculty reflect men’s and women’s status within the university? What differences do faculty perceive between the language of men and women students, and what do these observations tell us about their conceptualizations of gender? To answer these questions, this dissertation investigates the language and gender ideologies—or the beliefs and values related to men’s and women’s language use (Cameron 2014)—that university faculty subscribe to, through multiple mixed-methods analyses of faculty discourse. First, I examine women faculty’s descriptions of experiences with language in higher education, including linguistic pressures they perceive in the university and behaviors of adaptation or resistance enacted as a result.
