AW, To those Citizens of the "Clas•sic City" who, by their V7ords, actions and deeds, have shown their ardent love for the Stu­ dents of the University of Georgia, is this Book tenderly and affectionately dedica­ ted. INTRODUCTORY. I I jj E herewith present to you Volume II of THE PANDORA, for your perusal. While we have not reached the top round in the field of College Annuals, yet we ask that you carefully examine the contents within, and we believe you will say that we have gotten up a good Annual. With this number THE PANDORA passes up the state of childhood, and reaches the point where we can stand alone. Now we want to get into such a condition that we can walk. To do this it will require time and energy; it will also need your aid. So let us say here, that we humbly beg that you do everything in your power to aid THE PANDORA, so as it may be firmly planted on the soil of the University of Georgia for years to come. The year is nearly gone, and it has been one of activity for the old University ; fully two hundred students have been with us throughout the terms, which clearly shows how popular the State institution of Georgia is getting to be. In presenting the products of our labor we do so conscious of the result. You will, we know, heap criticisms 011 us, but look out! What you find in this book we have put there, and if it does not suit you that does not make it look as if we had made a mistake, but it goes to show that your opinion is worth nothing. If you find anything herein to take exceptions at, we ask that you pass it by. It is, probably, a mistake you may know it is done as a joke. It came from a humorous brain and not a pure heart. In stepping out of the editorial shoes we do so reluctantly, and with a sincere wish that our friends will see us through by 12 THE PANDORA. purchasing at least a dozen copies of this Annual, and sending them all over the world. Our enieavor has been to prepare for our friends a book which may afford them an enjoyment not for a day, but such as shall merit frequent pemsal; and if in years to come this volume, all covered with dust and colored by age, be brought to light, that your heart may again be made happy by its brightness, and then indeed has our object been accomplished. EDITORIAL. 13 |EARLY every first-class college in the United States, except the University of Georgia, possesses a gymna­ sium of some kind. We all realize the necessity of securing a gymnasium, but seem to be at a loss as to how we shall ever make our hopes accomplish anything. One fact may be considered as certain, the State will not aid us for if they have any money to put on the University it will go towards repairing the edifices which now adorn our campus. Matters may be simmered down to this point we must erect a gymnasium through contributions, or not at all. Now, what is necessary more than anything else, is to start a fund the University Gymnasium Fund. Let this fund be started both with contributions and money that can be made other­ wise. This fund once started, will in the course of time, if we push matters by soliciting aid from alumni and friends of the University, be the cause of collecting enough money to build iis a respectable building. This plan that we have suggested is easily talked of, but can only be carried out by hard work. It will be difficult to imagine the material aid the University of Georgia would realize by making this proposed institution a i-eality. In conclusion let us make an effort in this line. If we do not collect enough in a year to erect this building, no loss will be felt. A new committee can be appointed year after year, and we opine that, by untiring efforts, if we do not succeed in a few months, we will do so in the course of at least two or three year. Who will start the ball in motion ? 14 THE PANDORA. ^ ..E system of vacations at the University of Georgia is fitl It open to criticism. The summer vacations begin entirely i^< J (-oo ]ate jn | ne year Commencement at the University now occurs at a late period in .the summer, instead of being held in the latter part of July; it should occur not later than June 15. By having Commencement so late in the sum­ mer the college work is crowded on us in the hottest part of the year. It is entirely too hard on students to make them do their hardest studying learning final examinations in the hot weather. THE PANDORA desires to suggest to the Trustees (we mean those who take enough interest in the University to attend the meetings) that they investigate this matter, and see if Com­ mencement cannot be held sometime in June, and if necessary open the University in September. We ask the Trustees to consider this if they do nothing else. EDITORIAL. 15 |E think it our duty to say something in THE PANDORA concerning the needs of the University of Georgia. The greatest need that to-day stares us in the face ?»' is, the need of money to repair our buildings. Last winter a committee of the Georgia Legislature came over to see if we needed anything in the way of appropriations. The Legislature is always very kind to appropriate anything in the way of money to repair our buildings, but it is very hard for them to be convinced that we need anything. After searching the campus thoroughly, they came to the conclusion that some appropriation was necessary, and recommended that the enormous sum of five thousand dollars be given us for repairs. As yet the Legislature has taken no action on the report. Five thousand dollars would hardly amount to nothing. Its benefit would hardly be felt at all. When we heard that this com­ mittee was to come, it struck us that we were on the eve of securing a good appropriation. But- our hopes as yet have amounted to nothing. We hope they will in the dim, distant future. The University of Georgia, one of the oldest institu­ tions of learning in the Union, should be cherished by our people above any institution in the State. That we need a heavy appropriation no one can deny, not even the cranks who hate us can deny it. We ask our friends, and alumni of the University, throughout the State, to speak a kind work for us, and in voting for men who will be selected to a position where they can aid us, to sound them and see whether or not they are the friends of the University of Georgia. We want to see the day when the Georgia Legislature will not only be willing but glad to appropriate money to our renowned institution. To this, friends and alumni of the University should come to the rescue. By an effort on their part we could soon have matters in such condition that our worn out domitories and weather beaten buildings would be turned in to attractions. So we say, friends and alumni, help us, work for us, and our success in securing good appropriations, which are so much needed, will be assured. 16 THE PANDORA. Why You Should Attend the Uniiersity of Georgia, 1st. It is a State Institution. 2nd. It is the oldest College in Georgia, and one of the oldest in the Union.

  • Bristol County
    YOUTH JUSTICE VOTER GUIDE AND LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD: MASSACHUSETTS 2020 BRISTOL COUNTY WELCOME LETTER Each year, thousands of young people in Massachusetts come in contact with the juvenile justice system. These young people are disproportionately children of color, children from the child welfare system, children coming from areas of concentrated poverty, and LGBTQ children. For the majority of these young people, interactions with the juvenile justice system are overwhelmingly negative, and lead to poor outcomes and even increased delinquency. Progress in reforming our legal system into one that is fair and works to create positive outcomes for all system-involved youth, creating stronger and safer communities for everyone, is dependent on elected officials who support or oppose these reforms. This non-partisan voter guide is intended to ensure that you, as a voter, know your rights and are informed in our decisions. The primary focus of this voter guide is to provide the voting record of state elected officials currently in office. We also compiled information on resources from MassVOTE and the Massachusetts Chapter of the League of Women Voters regarding candidate forums in contested elections.

Volatile concentrations are largely determined by the grape itself and by microbial communities that produce volatiles during fermentation, either from grape-derived precursors or as byproducts of secondary metabolism. The relative degree of aroma production from grape skins compared to the juice itself, and the impact on different yeasts on this production, has not been investigated for Pinot noir. The influence of fermentation media (Pinot noir juice or synthetic grape must (SGM), with and without inclusion Citation: Qiao, Y.; Hawkins, D.; of grape skins) and yeast choice (commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118, a single vineyard Parish-Virtue, K.; Fedrizzi, B.; Knight, mixed community (MSPC), or uninoculated) on aroma chemistry was determined by measuring S.J.; Deed, R.C.

  • Skins and the Impossibility of Youth Television
    Skins and the impossibility of youth television David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays, can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In 2007, the UK media regulator Ofcom published an extensive report entitled The Future of Children’s Television Programming. The report was partly a response to growing concerns about the threats to specialized children’s programming posed by the advent of a more commercialized and globalised media environment. However, it argued that the impact of these developments was crucially dependent upon the age group. Programming for pre-schoolers and younger children was found to be faring fairly well, although there were concerns about the range and diversity of programming, and the fate of UK domestic production in particular. Nevertheless, the impact was more significant for older children, and particularly for teenagers. The report was not optimistic about the future provision of specialist programming for these age groups, particularly in the case of factual programmes and UK- produced original drama. The problems here were partly a consequence of the changing economy of the television industry, and partly of the changing behaviour of young people themselves. As the report suggested, there has always been less specialized television provided for younger teenagers, who tend to watch what it called ‘aspirational’ programming aimed at adults. Particularly in a globalised media market, there may be little money to be made in targeting this age group specifically.

A lawmaking body with two houses is called a bicameral legislature. The two houses that make up the U.S. Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress is the primary lawmaking body in the U.S. government. To solve problems, Members of Congress introduce legislative proposals called bills or resolutions. After considering these proposals, Members vote to adopt or to reject them. Members of Congress also review the work of executive agencies to determine if they are following government policy, and may introduce new legislation based on what they discover. Bills accepted by both houses of Congress and by the President become law. When the President vetoes a bill and returns it to Congress, Congress reviews the reasons for the rejection but may still act to pass the bill. The U.S. Constitution allows Congress to override the President’s veto with a two-thirds majority vote of both the House and the Senate.

  • Exposed Pedagogy: Investigating Lgbtq Issues in Collaboration with Preservice Teachers
    EXPOSED PEDAGOGY: INVESTIGATING LGBTQ ISSUES IN COLLABORATION WITH PRESERVICE TEACHERS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew D. Conley, B.S., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Seidl, Adviser Approved by Professor Mollie Blackburn Professor Caroline Clark Adviser College of Education Professor Rebecca Kantor Copyright by Matthew D. Conley 2005 ABSTRACT Preparing teachers to serve the needs of children who have been historically marginalized is difficult work. Although a growing body of scholars and researchers has attempted to describe the complexities, challenges, and promises of such work, we are far from understanding how to do it well. While much of this discussion has addressed issues of race and ethnicity, LGBTQ concerns have been glaringly omitted. By continuing to overlook LGBTQ issues in education, we perpetuate heterosexism and maintain LGBTQ youth’s marginalization. Considering previous research that suggests teachers lack knowledge about LGBTQ issues and are ill-equipped to construct pedagogies that are supportive of LGBTQ youth and families, this research aimed to create a joint learning project to foster greater LGBTQ competencies in the context of teacher preparation. My belief that long-term, collaborative inquiry might better support pre-service teachers in understanding issues related to LGBTQ concerns guided this research. This action-oriented, qualitative research project emerged from a critical, feminist paradigm and relied on narrative methods. During the 2002-2003 academic year, the activities of nine student-participants were recorded. Data was primarily in the form of written responses to experiences at the university and reflections related to the larger community- based experiences our collaboration provided.
