The event was the kick-off for the University of Idaho's Sexual Assault Awareness Week sponsored by the Women's Center and the ASUI Safety Task Force. The march, which began at Guy Wicks Field, took marchers on a winding tour of campus, lead by Safety Task Force Chair Angela Rauch and Vice-Chair Rhonda Anderson.

We need to increase awareness and help victims of these types of violent crimes to gain the courage to . speak out and get help," Anderson said. z'4w" 4. During the march a whistle was blown every 15 seconds, signifying the statistic of one woman battered in the United States every 15 ~A'!. seconds. Similarly, each minute a bell was rung, signifying the rape of one woman. The march ended on the steps of the Administration Building where poetry, written by victims, was read and family members and survivors spoke about loss and hope. The mes- t. sage alw'ays: "Fight back, it's not your fault, get help, you'e not alone" was heard as encourage- ment from the victims and their families.

  • 'TOON IN, 'TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION and the SHAPING of AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutt
    ‘TOON IN, ‘TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program – Departments of History The University of Manitoba / The University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Copyright © 2010 by David Perlmutter ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a systematic study of significant American television animation programs produced between 1948 and 1980, with special attention given to selected works produced by three influential studios: Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward and Filmation. It considers how outside forces such as television network censorship, grassroots political activism, and other social and political forces served to limit how the genre developed, and the extent to which producers chose to test the limits to get their points across. It provides a discussion of masculine images in television animation of the 1950s and 1960s, and of the reactions of television animation producers to outside concerns regarding violent imagery in children’s programming, and the threat of censorship related to this, in the 1970s. My thesis demonstrates that television animation producers, as a result of the need to remain actively involved in production, were forced to change and adapt with the times around them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through this endeavor. I have appreciated their support especially in those times when I doubted my abilities, because they never did. I particularly want to thank Professor Churchill and Professor Elvins for giving me their advice and guidance in the long and arduous process of conceiving the draft.

    The African Telatelist Newsletter 209 of the African Telately Association – November 2015. ___________________________________________________________________________ The Flintstones - ( W.Stobrawe) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Overview: The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co- exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century counterparts, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of animals. The Flintstones was an animated, prime-time For example, the cars are made out of stone, American television sitcom that was broadcast wood, and animal skins, and powered by the from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, passengers' feet. on ABC.

Often the "prehistoric" analog to a modern machine uses an animal.[6] For example, when a character takes photographs with aninstant camera, inside the camera box, a bird carves the picture on a stone tablet with its beak. In a running gag, the animal powering such technology would frequently break the fourth wall, look directly into the camera at the audience and offer a mild complaint about his job.

  • The Flintstones Chris Pisar
    Etched in Stone Journalistic Portrayals and the Prevalence of Media in a Town Called Bedrock Chris W. Pisar Etched in Stone: Journalistic Portrayals and the Prevalence of Media in a Town Called Bedrock Pisar 2 Abstract This article examines the animated, primetime comedy The Flintstones and how its portrayal of the news media affects the way people, especially children, view journalists. The research will focus on the portrayals of journalists throughout the show’s run. This article also will look at the prevalence of the media, such as newspapers, radio, and television, in the series and how this affects how people think the media function in the real world. With television consumption at an all-time high (the average American watches four hours of television a day)1, the residual effects of the way the media and journalists are portrayed on television, including cartoons, becomes increasingly important. By understanding the way journalists are portrayed in cartoons, we can better understand the longtime impact on children, the primary target audience of The Flintstones. I hypothesize that the way the news media are portrayed and the prevalence of the media in the series affect the way audiences view the media and journalists in reality. Introduction Television was introduced in the United States back in the 1930s, but it wasn’t until 1948-49 that “the explosion of sets into the American marketplace” took place.2 The typical household had one set and used television as a family activity.3 Now, two-thirds of the nation’s population has three or more TV sets in their home.4 This has caused watching television to become an isolated activity rather than a family activity like it had been in the past.
