The conference offered a wide selection of workshops, sessions, and other events organized by the Program Committee (PC) and Local Arrangements Committee (LAC), designed to appeal to archivists of all experience levels and repository types. Ellen Swain Joshua Ranger Despite the unseasonable snowflakes, groups enjoyed Wednesday evening outings to the Minnesota Twins game and a historic pub tour. Thursday morning brought a variety of tours to local repositories, in- cluding the Minnesota Historical Society, Minnesota Public Radio, and the Science Kathy Koch Janet Olson Museum of Minnesota. The meeting officially kicked off with plenary speaker Dr. Mark Neuzil’s address “The Mississippi River of Henry Bosse: MACers enjoy the baseball game Government Photography as History.” between the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Special thanks are due to the committee members and cochairs of each one: LAC Cochairs Ann Kenne and Karen Spilman and PC Cochairs Alison Stankrauff and Lynn Smith. When incoming MAC President Ellen Swain asked me what my main responsibilities were as president, I responded: signing contracts and saying thank you. So, since this is my last President’s letter, I wanted to thank the former MAC officers (President Dennis Meissner, Vice President Doug Bicknese, and Treasurer Craig Wright) and Council members (Matt Blessing and Martha Briggs), who were there for the first year of my term. I also would like to extend my thanks to current MAC officers (Secretary Josh Ranger, Vice President Mark Shelstad, and Treasurer Anke Voss) and ongoing Council members (Dina Kellams, Michael Doylen, and Deirdre Scaggs), as well as outgoing MAC Council members Kim Butler and Sally Childs-Helton for their dedication to MAC. I also would like to thank both our ongoing and outgoing committee chairs for all of their hard work and service. At the annual meeting, MAC Council and this outgoing MAC president also designated a special thank you to Aleda Downs, who designs MAC’s publications. I cannot tell you how lucky we are to work with her—she has always watched out for MAC and helped us in any way she could. And now, I would like to share my “State of MAC” address, given at the members’ meeting on April 29: My goal this afternoon is to again share some of the topics and issues that Council has been working on over the past year. Some of these issues will need to be dealt with by President Ellen’s administration, but, all in all, I think MAC is in a very good place and has a solid foundation. As you heard from Anke, MAC is also in strong financial shape. Our real issue is that we have choices to make, and I know Council will be asking for membership input over the next few years, to determine where and how we proceed. Over this past year, Council drafted a strategic plan, which is now available on the MAC Web site. This plan will serve as a blueprint through 2015 with an emphasis and focus on: 1. Recruiting and retaining an active membership. 2. Supporting and assisting in the professional development of MAC members (meetings, mentoring, publications). 3. Providing education resources for the archival profession and those who are charged with the care of archival materials. 4. Continuing to develop technological infrastructure and governance procedures. I thought I would focus on our activities over the past year, in the context of this strategic plan: 1. Recruiting and retaining an active membership. I wanted to make special note of the strategic efforts we have designated for our diversity efforts, as well as a newly implemented system for collecting the names of potential volunteers. But primarily, I wanted to share the results of the final report from the Marketing Tools Working Group. This group’s charge was “to assess, review, and develop potential marketing tools for MAC for the next two- to four-year time period.” Chaired by Kathy Koch and Josh Ranger, the membership also included Adriana Cuervo, Noah Lenstra, Erik Moore, Shari Christy, and Kevin Leonard. The Task Force conducted a market analysis to determine our potential audiences, examined MAC as a (Continued on page 3) 2 MAC Newsletter • July 2011 presiDents paGE—Continued Tanya Zanish-Belcher, President, Midwest Archives Conference (Continued from page 2) brand, looked at our competition, and, finally, developed tools time for MAC to move to the next level, and hire a planning/ for Council to consider and pursue, including a number of coordinating company to do this work for us, especially in “campaigns” for target audiences.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • LUCY GETS the BALL ROLLING By
    PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF HOUSEWIFERY: LUCY GETS THE BALL ROLLING by EUNICE A. OGLICE (Under the Direction of Dwight Brooks) ABSTRACT The 1950’s was an era that welcomed Lucy Ricardo into their homes. The comedy I Love Lucy premiered on Oct. 15, 1951, on CBS. This study seeks to demonstrate and illustrate how Lucy Ricardo battled patriarchy, which was common among TV sitcoms of the era. Primarily, this study aims to analyze Lucy Ricardo’s role as a woman who pushes the limits of patriarchy in I Love Lucy, by examining her dual roles of someone who defies patriarchy, yet show’s allegiance to it as well. A textual analysis of 14 I Love Lucy episodes will address the established mode of domesticity in I Love Lucy, as well as opportunities for challenges that Lucy takes advantage of. This study reveals a woman who denied her husband’s wishes to control her. Lucy stepped outside of the typical portrayal of married women who were supposed to submit to their husbands and follow their every wish.

    Contacts: Vanessa Reyes-Smith Rachel Sandler 310-752-8081 212-846-4412 [email protected] [email protected] GEE, WALLY!! TV LAND CELEBRATES THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF LEAVE IT TO BEAVER WITH 24 HOUR ON-AIR SALUTE BEGINNING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6TH Marathon Features Show’s Rarely-Seen 1957 Pilot, “It’s A Small World” TV Land.com Offers Full Streaming Episodes, Exclusive Photos and Sweepstakes New York, NY – September 26, 2007 –- TV Land celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of television’s beloved family sitcoms, Leave It To Beaver, with a 24 hour marathon beginning on October 6th at 8:00PM ET/PT concluding on Sunday, October 7th at 8:00PM ET/PT. The marathon includes the rarely-seen 1957 pilot entitled “It’s a Small World” that features Jerry Mathers as the Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver; Paul Sullivan as Wally and Barbara Billingsley and Max Showalter as the parents June and Ward Cleaver. Additionally, veteran comedic actor Harry Shearer is seen in one of his very first roles as Frankie, a neighborhood tough guy. Leave It To Beaver is one of the first sitcoms to take a look at life from a seven-year old’s point of view. Much to the dismay of his parents, Ward and June, “Beaver” got himself into and out of one childhood jam after another. In addition to the All-American Cleavers, audiences fondly remember the shenanigans of Eddie Haskell who tried hard to sweet talk the adults all the while bullying Beaver and his pals. The show premiered on October 4, 1957 and followed “Beaver” and his brother, Wally through their adolescent years, with the series ending September 12, 1963 with Wally going off to college and “Beaver” starting his teenage years.

  • Jerry Mathers Reveals How He Overcame Painful Neuropathy
    JUNE/JULY 2011 BY SUSANNAH GORA Jerry Mathers Reveals How He Overcame Painful Neuropathy When neuropathy signs and symptoms began to appear, the Leave It to Beaver star received an unexpected diagnosis. ~is is how he saved his own life. He'll always be known as "The Beaver"—and that's just swell. "It's something I'm very proud of," says actor Jerry Mathers, 62, of portraying Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, the adorable kid America loved to watch get into scrapes and out of them. Leave it to Beaver originally ran from 1957 to 1963 and has aired in reruns ever since. Along the way, the classic sitcom has become one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. Young viewers learned a few lessons from the way "The Beav" handled himself. We can still learn a lot—about how to greet health challenges with a positive attitude—from Mathers. As the host of a new patient- education video and guidebook for the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Foundation, he's spreading awareness about neuropathy, a painful neurologic condition that affects millions of Americans, including Mathers. His health problems began in the 1990s. After starring in the sequel TV series The New Leave It To Beaver, Mathers branched out into other professional opportunities. "I bought a few companies," he says, "one of which was a catering business. We were famous for a 60-foot-long dessert table." Soon enough, the sweet temptations proved too much for Mathers to resist. "I put on about 70 pounds," he says. That's when he started noticing strange sensations.
