UTC Cheerleaders: Best of the Blue and Gold Fj j j" ^^g^^l^ ^^^^ 1, j.— J. J_j^^ T THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AT CHATTANOOGA V c 615 McCallie Avenue Chattanooga Tennessee 37402 OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR 101 Founders Hall / (615) 755-4141 As Chancellor, I am pleased to join in congratulating the Moccasin staff on the first edition using this innovative and timely new format for the UTC yearbook. In keeping with the theme, "Images," this two-volume publication will present a picture of campus life in what I believe is a more interesting and relevant way than previous yearbooks have been able to do. The decision to change to a photo essay style was prompted by declining sales and the likelihood that it would no longer be economically feasible to publish a traditional yearbook. Other universities which have adopted this style have been \/ery successful. I am pleased to report that thus far there has been a strong positive response to the idea of a two-volume yearbook and sales are going well. We are proud to present the 1984-85 Moccasin to you and hope you will enjoy it for many years to come as you remember your days at UTC. Sincerely, j^k), (JW^ "ederick W.

They Experience Through Our Senses by Elizabeth Benton Moccasin Copy Editor "Experience comes to us largely through the senses." Laurence Perrine The theme and title for our 1984-85 yearbook is "Images." But what do we mean when we say "images?" The great literary critic Laurence Perrine has defined two kinds of images. First, an image is any sensuous experience, such as a sight, sound, taste, or smell. Second, an image is a mental picture, "something in the mind's eye." Our experiences and memories of UTC are thus composed of sights and sounds and our changing mental images of ourselves. *v*** ! Our inner images, images ourselves, are also vital components memory and experience. Certain! during one semester or during a fi four years at UTC, our images ourselves change as drastically as c the images of the seasons. The varioi facets of college are constantly makir The images of this autumn gave us a sense of time passing and of goals being achieved. Fall semester began with energetic images of bright sunshine and long registration lines. Then there were images of falling leaves, of students and professors rushing to classes, and sounds of pep rallies and parties as UTC settled into fall semester, with all its fun and not- so-fun activities. Finally, we will remember gazing from classroom windows, watching our campus being clothed in snow as exams and (for some of us) graduation drew near. imprints on our dreams, emotions, and self-images. Exposure to different professors, books, and ideas gives us clearer images of ourselves as individual, independent thinkers and creators. The education that we receive at UTC also gives us new images of our potential. The shy biology student fumbling with a test tube comes to see himself/herself as a potential surgeon, and the unsure creative writing student envisions himself/herself writing the great American novel. create a valuable record of this fall semester at UTC. It is our hope that we also changes a student's self-image. have captured for you the images of the By participating in various activities and school year and your various images of endeavors, we come to view ourselves yourselves.

Acting as a conduit of memory and legacy for successive generations of inhabitants, roundhouses straddled the divide between house and memorial. The exceptionally well preserved Late Iron Age settlement at Broxmouth in southeast Scotland demonstrates the potential of biographical approaches in understanding the central role that roundhouses played in fashioning the identity of successive households, and the role of objects in constructing genealogical narratives.

  • Native American Settlement to 1969
    29 Context: Native American Settlement to 1969 Francisco Patencio outside the roundhouse, c. 1940. Source: Palm Springs Historical Society. FINAL DRAFT – FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 30 CONTEXT: NATIVE AMERICAN SETTLEMENT TO 196923 The earliest inhabitants of the Coachella Valley are the Native people known ethnohistorically as the Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla territory includes the areas from the San Jacinto Mountains, the San Gorgonia Pass, and the desert regions reaching east to the Colorado River. The Cahuilla language is part of the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family and all the Cahuilla groups speak a mutually intelligible despite different dialects. The Cahuilla group that inhabited the Palm Springs area are known as the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla name for the area that is now Palm Springs is Sec-he, “boiling water,” named for the hot springs located in what is currently the center of the Palm Springs business district. The springs have always provided clean water, bathing, and a connection to the spiritual world, and were used for ceremonial and healing purposes.24 The Cahuilla people refer to themselves as ‘ivi’lyu’atum and are ethnographically divided into two patrilineal moieties: the Wildcats and the Coyotes. Each moiety was further divided into clans which are made up of lineages. Lineages had their own territory and hunting rights within a larger clan territory. There are a number of lineages in the Palm Springs area, which each have religious and political autonomy. Prior to European contact, Cahuilla communities established summer settlements in the palm-lined mountain canyons around the Coachella valley; oral histories and archaeological evidence indicates that they settled in the Tahquitz Canyon at least 5,000 years ago.25 The Cahuilla moved each winter to thatched shelters clustered around the natural mineral hot springs on the valley floor.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The natural mathematical abilities of humans have advanced civilizations. These abilities have been demonstrated in cultural heritage, especially traditional houses, which display evidence of an intuitive mathematics ability. Tribes around the world have built traditional houses with unique styles. The present study involved the collection of data from documentation, observation, and interview. The observations of several traditional buildings in Indonesia were based on camera images, aerial camera images, and documentation techniques. We first analyzed the images of some sample of the traditional houses in Indonesia using projective geometry and simple house theory and then formulated the definitions of building numbers and projective coordinates. The sample of the traditional houses is divided into two categories which are stilt houses and nonstilt house. The present article presents 7 types of simple houses, 21 building numbers, and 9 projective coordinates.

  • A Reinterpretation of the Evidence from Late Bronze Age–Early Iron Age Southern England
    LEO WEBLEY USING AND ABANDONING ROUNDHOUSES: A REINTERPRETATION OF THE EVIDENCE FROM LATE BRONZE AGE–EARLY IRON AGE SOUTHERN ENGLAND Summary. It has recently been demonstrated that a number of roundhouses of the early first millennium BC in southern England show a concentration of finds in the southern half of the building. It has thus been argued that this area was used for domestic activities such as food preparation, an idea which has formed the basis for discussion of later prehistoric ‘cosmologies’. However, reconsideration of the evidence suggests that this finds patterning does not relate to the everyday use of the buildings, being more likely to derive from a particular set of house abandonment practices. Furthermore, evidence can be identified for the location of domestic activities within contemporary roundhouses that appears to contradict the established model. introduction Substantial timber-built roundhouses are a characteristic feature of the early first millennium BC in southern England. It has recently been noted that several of these houses show a marked concentration of artefacts in their right-hand side, viewed when facing out of the building (normally the southern side, as most roundhouses face east or south-east). As a result, it has been argued that this area of the house was used for everyday activities such as food preparation. This has formed the basis of a general model for domestic space in Iron Age Britain which has gained wide acceptance in recent years. Critical examination of the theory has been limited, however. This paper reassesses the evidence from the houses in question, and puts forward an alternative interpretation of the manner in which these buildings were used and subsequently abandoned.
