Alfred Reed Richard Scheffel Rich Scheffel was the 5-12 instrumental (and occasionally general) music teacher at West Central Community School in Maynard for 39 years (1973-2012). He received the Phillip Sehmann award for excellence in teaching from the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters in 2009. He is a senior lecturer in low brass and music education at Wartburg College. This is his second tour of duty as an adjunct instructor at Wartburg, as he taught tuba and euphonium at Wartburg from 1974-1993, took 18 years off, and started again in 2011. Besides teaching low brass, Scheffel also teaches flute, clarinet, and saxophone methods; directs Wartubium (Wartburg’s Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble), and plays in the faculty brass quintet. After growing up in a western suburb of Chicago (West Chicago), Scheffel earned his Bachelor of Music Education degree at Northwestern University and his master’s in music education from UNI. He has played tuba in the Waterloo Municipal Band since 1994 and now also enjoys playing in the UNI New Horizons Band. He also plays tuba in the Wartburg Community Symphony, has subbed with the Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony, and played trombone with the Tuxedo Junction Big Band. Scheffel is an active adjudicator with the Iowa High School Music Association and the Northeast Iowa Bandmasters. Since his retirement, he’s been involved with mentoring first- and second-year band directors through the Iowa Bandmasters Association and acting as a clinician for area bands. In addition to his band commitments, Scheffel is a member of the Maynard City Council, the St. Paul Lutheran Church Choir, and directs the bell choir there as well. He and his wife, Linnae (a science teacher at Northeast Iowa Community College), reside in Maynard. They have a son, Robert, who is a graduate of the University of Iowa and just returned from Chile, where he taught English for a year. Dr. Craig A. Hancock Dr. Craig A. Hancock is in his 22nd year as director of bands at Wartburg College. Prior positions include Wayne State College (Wayne, Neb.), Graceland College (Lamoni), and Simpson College (Indianola). Hancock earned Bachelor of Music degrees in music education and trombone performance at Simpson, graduating magna cum laude. He earned a master’s degree in trombone performance (studying with John Hill) and Doctor of Musical Arts degree in band conducting (studying with Myron Welch) at the University of Iowa. At Wartburg, besides administering and conducting the college’s top concert band (the Wind Ensemble), Hancock oversees the pep band and the second jazz band; teaches trombone, euphonium, and tuba lessons, advanced conducting class, marching band, and instrument repair techniques; and serves as the college instrument repair technician. With Hancock’s leadership, the Wartburg College Concert Bands program sponsors the annual Meistersinger Honor Band Festival in early February and Band Camp at Wartburg each summer. 3 Under Hancock’s direction, the Wartburg College Wind Ensemble has traveled the globe, from Carnegie Hall to London, Munich, Prague, Tokyo, Beijing, and many points in between. As a trombonist, he has performed with the Des Moines Symphony, the Des Moines Metro Opera Company, the Graceland College Community Orchestra, the Northeast Nebraska Sinfonia, the Wartburg Community Symphony, and until recently, when he accepted the position as conductor of the Greater Waverly Area Municipal Band, was principal trombone each summer for 21 years in the Waterloo Municipal Band. In addition to his conducting and teaching, he is active as a clinician, adjudicator, festival conductor, and low brass performer. A past board member of the Iowa Bandmasters Association, Hancock in 2000 received the Wartburg Student Senate Award for Teaching Excellence. He is listed in the 2005 edition of Who’s Who Among American Teachers. He holds membership in Iowa Bandmasters Association, College Band Directors National Association, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity, and the American Association of University Professors. Hancock also has served as president of the Waterloo Municipal Band Board and in leadership with the Waverly Lions Club. Hancock has served as a Boy Scout leader in each of the communities in which he has resided, and as a licensed minister, serves his local church as associate pastor. Hancock and his wife of 29 years, Elizabeth, have a blended family of boys, ages 38, 36, 32, 22, and 20. Cliff St. Clair Cliff St. Clair grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis before earning a bachelor’s degree in music education from Bethel University. After teaching four years in the Minneapolis suburbs, he was hired in Sherburn, Minn., where he directed the 5-12 band program. Sherburn, Trimont, and Welcome schools combined to form Martin County West, where he completed a total of 20 years of teaching in Minnesota. During that time, he earned a master’s degree in music education from the University of Illinois Urbana/ Champaign. A Martin County West family who moved to Sheldon, recommended him for his present position in 2001. St. Clair is the band director at Sheldon High School, where his responsibilities include directing the concert, marching, pep, and jazz bands, teaching music appreciation/guitar, and some lessons at Sheldon Middle School. In 2003, legendary conductor Weston Noble, of Luther College, conducted the Sheldon band and choir and encouraged them to participate in the Large Group Festival. Since then, the band has received Division I ratings in 2005 and from 2007 to 2016. In 2009, the band earned the Division 1 (Small School Class) Concert Band 1st Place Gold Award at the Cotton Bowl Classic in Dallas and the Parade Grand Champion, as well as other caption awards. The band has earned 1st Place in Class awards at the Pursuit of Excellence in Marshall, Minn., the Dutchmen Field Championships in Orange City, as well as Division I ratings at the IHSMA Marching Band Festival since 2002. The Marching Orabs are the only Class 2A band to earn the John A. Aboud Sweepstakes Award at Algona Band Day in Algona, having received it five times since 2009. The Sheldon High School Concert Band was selected as the 2016 Class 2A Honor Band for 4 the Iowa Bandmasters Association Conference. St. Clair has been included in the Premier Who’s Who since 2010, and the Northwest Iowa Bandmasters Association selected him for the Martin L. Crandell Award in 2014 and the Karl King (Active) Award in 2016. St. Clair and his wife, Shairi, have been married 35 years and have five children. He is also a U.S. Soccer Grade 8 referee and has been a referee and volunteer soccer coach since 1994. His other nonmusical interests include running, cycling, ice skating, and home improvement projects. Scott Hagen Scott Hagen has established himself as one of Utah’s most sought after music educators and clinicians, bringing with him to his position nearly 30 years experience. He serves as the director of bands at the University of Utah School of Music, teaching both undergraduate and graduate conducting, as well as conducting the University of Utah Wind Ensemble.

  • Your Name Here
    JACKIE KENNEDY’S PRESIDENTIAL PERSONA: (RE)ASSESSING HER RHETORICAL INFLUENCE by COURTNEY ALEXSIS CAUDLE (Under the Direction of Edward Panetta) ABSTRACT In rhetorical studies, much has been written on the role of first lady and the women whom enacted this position. Scholars in several fields (history, rhetoric, popular culture) have examined First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy: however, this thesis supplements existing research both in first lady scholarship generally and on Jackie’s specific performance as first lady. I contend that Jackie’s performance remains unique because she carved a celebrity space both inimitable in the 1960s yet available to subsequent first ladies. I examine mediated texts (both visual and written) from 1961-1963 to (re)examine her enactment of the role during (1) President Kennedy’s Inauguration, (2) her televised tour of the White House, and (3) President Kennedy’s funeral. Ultimately, I argue she was integral to historical and contemporary public memory of his presidential persona and legacy.

  • The Shadow of the Scorpion Now, After the Death of My Second
    The Shadow of the Scorpion Now, after the death of my second husband Aristotle Onassis, I am left alone on the Greek island of Skorpios which until recently was the private property of my late husband. And the future of the island seems to me to be about as certain as my own. I am reasonably well off so in mentioning an uncertain future I don’t mean financial problems, but rather psychological ones. My state of mind has been bothering me lately, which is not surprising for a widow whose children have grown up. I am after all reaching that difficult age for a woman when various fears and unwanted memories can suddenly become obsessive and even take on a kind of hallucinatory weirdness. I have almost resigned myself to the fact that I am suffering from hallucinations, but admitting this to myself is not easy. I often think of the Greek priests and the sweet smelling wafts of incense in the local churches (I took a deep breath of it at my husband’s funeral service, which is still there, stuck in my nostrils) and yet, like a true American, I have decided to share my psychological problems not with the bearded priests, but with the smooth-shaven psychotherapists. As such, to say I am alone on the island isn’t absolutely true – with me here are Doctor Mitchell and Doctor Abraham. They are without doubt highly qualified professionals (which is reflected in the amounts I have to transfer into their accounts in return for the professional sympathy of these gentlemen) and, as Mitchell keeps telling me, my condition is gradually getting back to normal.

  • JACQUELINE KENNEDY and the POLITICS of POPULARITY by COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Th
    JACQUELINE KENNEDY AND THE POLITICS OF POPULARITY BY COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John Murphy, Chair Associate Professor Cara Finnegan Associate Professor Ned O’Gorman Associate Professor Jennifer Greenhill Associate Professor Pat Gill Abstract Although her role as first lady marked the real beginning of the American public’s fascination with her, Jacqueline Kennedy’s celebrity status endured throughout her life. Dozens of books have sought to chronicle that mystique, hail her style, and commend her contribution to the youthful persona of the Kennedy administration. She seems to be an object ripe for rhetorical study; yet, for many communication scholars, Kennedy’s cultural iconicity diminishes her legacy as First Lady, and she remains an exemplar of political passivity. Her influence on the American public’s cultural and political imagination, however, demonstrates a need for scholars to assess with greater depth her development from First Lady to American icon in the early 1960s. Thus, this dissertation focuses on three case studies that analyze Jacqueline Kennedy’s image across different media: fashion spreads in Vogue magazine and Harper’s Bazaar published immediately after the inauguration in 1961; her televised tour of the White House broadcast in February 1962; and Andy Warhol’s 1964 Jackie prints, which drew from her construction of the Camelot myth after JFK’s funeral. These case studies seek to show how “icon” becomes an inventional and conceptual resource for the role of a modern first lady and how Kennedy’s shift to public icon in her own right (after and outside of her position as first lady) was mediated in nuanced ways that both reflected early Cold War (suburban) culture and shaped the larger institutional discourses of which she was part.
