  • Under Age: Redefining Legal Adulthood in 1970S America
    UNDER AGE: REDEFINING LEGAL ADULTHOOD IN 1970S AMERICA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Timothy J. G. Cole May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Beth Bailey, Advisory Chair, Department of History, Temple University David Farber, Department of History, Temple University Bryant Simon, Department of History, Temple University Daniel Hart, External Member, Department of Psychology and Department of Childhood Studies, Rutgers University-Camden © Copyright 2015 by Timothy J. G. Cole All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Between the late 1960s and early 1980s, state and federal lawmakers made a number of unprecedented changes to the minimum age laws that define the legal boundaries between childhood and adulthood in the United States. By altering the voting age and the legal age of majority during the early 1970s, legislators effectively lowered the legal age of adulthood from twenty-one to eighteen, and launched a broader, more wide-ranging debate over other minimum age laws that would preoccupy legislators for much of the decade that followed. These reforms can be grouped into two distinct stages. Early 1970s reforms to the voting age and age of majority placed a great deal of faith in eighteen- to twenty-year-old Americans’ ability to make mature, responsible decisions for themselves, and marked a significant departure from the traditional practice of treating young people as legal adults at the age of twenty-one. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, a second set of reforms revoked much of the faith that legislators had placed in the nation’s young people, raising some key minimum age limits – such as the drinking age – and expanding adults’ ability to supervise and control teenaged youth.

  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

  • Homecoming Brings Back Memories
    Lake Charles, Louisiana Volume 57, Issue No. 1 September 2008 Homecoming Brings Back Memories It’s not every day that you see a conga line winding through McNeese campus or downtown Ryan Street, but back in the 1950s, you could see it at least once a year, and one of those drumming to the beat was Kalil Ieyoub, now vice president of administration and student affairs at McNeese, but then just a chemistry student working for a Vice President of Administration and Student Affairs bachelor’s degree. Kalil Ieyoub talks to current SGA President Morgan Verrette. Over the past half-century, Ieyoub, who celebrated his 50th year as a McNeese alum this year, has seen his university grow from a small college in the middle of farmland into a 121-acre main campus, with a 503-acre Farm, a 65-acre athletic plant, student apartment complexes, the Louisiana Environmental Research Center, Burton Coliseum and Cowboy Stadium. Enrollment is nearly four times larger than it was during Ieyoub’s student tenure, and the dirt roads of Ryan Street have long been paved and surrounded with hundreds of Lake Charles businesses. There is one element of campus life that has remained unchanged, however: The fervor of Homecoming. “Homecoming was a big thing in the 50s. On Fridays, school would let out so the students could go to the pep rally in what is now the Memorial Gym. The cheerleaders, band and football team would be there and the students would cheer them on,” Ieyoub said. “After the pep rally, some of the band members would take their instruments, form a conga line and snake through campus.
