Voting aye: Shatzel, Collins, Johnston, Brown. Motion carried. The following communication addressed to L. G. Folts? ft Sons and signed by R. J. Merriam, Architect, was read and the President directed that it be made a part of the record. June 29, 1921 L. G. Foltz ft Sons # 448 Nelson Road I Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen: Having receired a verbal declaration from your Co's representative at 3owling Green that he has completed the work covered by your contract for Cyclone Damage Repairs, We, as Architect for the Board of Trustees, beg to submit the following statement. We find upon examination of the work that the items herein men- I tioned have not been properly executed. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. Sash in center andend pavilions are not yet properly equipped as called for. Metal weather strippingfor repaired sash where destroyed by your workmen has not been replaced. The general appearance of the finish of thi3 work should be improved upon. TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING. Concrete slab for vent duct cap is not in place on North West corner of building. Concrete slabs for vent duct caps are not in place on East center of building. Concrete hood for main vent ducts South and West center of building is not in place. POWER HOUSE North Gabl e Wall which has been replaced is not built in a straight or workmanlike manne r. This wall must be taken down and rebuilt. Roofs over North Wing and Pump room have not been properly repaired. Damaged construe- tion where indicated on plans at East center of North Wing roof has not been repaired. There wil 1 be required approximately 100 lineal feet of flashing to make this work compl ete. Pipe railing for Area-Ways on West Front of Power House, taken down by your workmen during construction of Chimney are to be I replaced. Opening t o Chimney around breeching entrance must be pointed up in a manner to prevent ingress of outside air. The above items cover in a general way the important parts of the work included under your contract for Cyclone Damage Repairs which will re- quire your immediate attention. Upon your notification of completion of the above, we will go over the entire work included under this contract and when found satisfactory, will issue final estimate. In connection with the contract for completing Training School, we find that floors in Entrancesto 3rd floor toilet rooms have been constructed of cement where wood is called for on plans. We, as Architect for the Board, have issu ed no order directing your company to make the above change. We have been informed by marble setters that it required two men fifty-two hours time for cutting reinforced stair construction in order to secure uniform rise to slate steps. In view of the fact, that sub-contractors are held to remedy defects o f this nature, we can see no reason why your company should not work under the same conditions required of sub-contractors employed by you. These floors as constructed will not be accepted. In connection with wood finish in Training School and Connecting Corridor, we wish to call your attention to the manner in which cove moulding has been substituted for window stops. This method of securing sash is not only unsightly but not according to current building practice. Proper beaded I stop moulding must be put in place before acceptance of this work. We request that you inform us with regard to the progress being made by the ornamental iron sub-contractor in furnishing ornamental iron stair landing rail. We wish to suggest that in order to further the progress of the work that you communicate with us relative to any matters pertaining to this con- tract about which you may have any doubt. I Yours truly R. J. Merriam. Dr. Williams presented the following report of the test of water well #4. Apparatus - Through the assistance of Wiggins ft Gillespie a four-inch pipe and pump were secured from the City Water Company and a pumping outfit from Valentine ft Johnson. The latter firm was employed to do the pumping under the supervision of Mr. Wi ggi n s. Test - Well #4 was pumped day and night from June 15 Noon, to June 22 Noon. Two employees of the Normal College, Messrs. Barr and Young were assigned as inspectors and kept an hourly log showing static head, pumping head, rate of pumping, and stops for oiling. 66 Proceedings, Trustees Bowling Green Normal College June 30, 1921 192 Results - At the outset the static head or height of the water was 3 ft. below the surface of the ground. After three hours of pumping the water was lowered to 7 ft. 6 in. where it stood throughout the test. The rate of pumping was 32 gal. per minute which would equal 46,080 gal. per day of twenty-four hours. Effect upon Other Wells - Well #3 located north of #4 wa3 found to sympathize with ?4 to the extent that the water level was reduced 3 ft.

  • 14. Swan Song
    LISA K. PERDIGAO 14. SWAN SONG The Art of Letting Go in Glee In its five seasons, the storylines of Glee celebrate triumph over adversity. Characters combat what they perceive to be their limitations, discovering their voices and senses of self in New Directions. Tina Cohen-Chang overcomes her shyness, Kurt Hummel embraces his individuality and sexuality, Finn Hudson discovers that his talents extend beyond the football field, Rachel Berry finds commonality with a group instead of remaining a solo artist, Mike Chang is finally allowed to sing, and Artie Abrams is able to transcend his physical disabilities through his performances.1 But perhaps where Glee most explicitly represents the theme of triumph over adversity is in the series’ evasion of death. The threat of death appears in the series, oftentimes in the form of the all too real threats present in a high school setting: car accidents (texting while driving), school shootings, bullying, and suicide. As Artie is able to escape his wheelchair to dance in an elaborate sequence, if only in a dream, the characters are able to avoid the reality of death and part of the adolescent experience and maturation into adulthood. As Trites (2000) states, “For many adolescents, trying to understand death is as much of a rite of passage as experiencing sexuality is” (p. 117). However, Glee is forced to alter its plot in season five. The season begins with a real-life crisis for the series; actor Cory Monteith’s death is a devastating loss for the actors, writers, and producers as well as the series itself.

  • Queer Identities and Glee
    IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music August 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.
