Our state has slowly built our budget to a point where it has no sustain- ability. We have declining oil revenue, no personal income tax, no statewide sales tax, and very limited tax revenue on mining, fishing and tourism. The A Look at the Past outlook for our state is not good and there is nothing big enough to save us. If we took immediate action and 1) added the taxes from a new gas pipeline, plus 2) added a sales tax AND an income tax, and 3) took away our Permanent Fund Dividend and used it for state government, we still do not have enough money to sustain this type of spending. Long-term we are still not even close to being sustainable. There is nothing out there big enough that will replace our oil revenue and yet, no one is talking about it. To create a solution we need years of planning and discipline and that dis- cussion needs to take place. Politicians don’t want to talk about taxes, which are political death and a sure way not to be elected. So no one is saying a word and we are going down a bad path for our state’s future. I don’t ever want to leave Alaska, but in a few years maybe I’ll move to Hawaii. Hawaii has been a poor state for years. Maybe I’ll spend a couple years in the sun and on the beaches and learn how to deal in a state with no money and then I can move back and enjoy Alaska again.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT From 1919 to 1920 the United States carried out a massive campaign against radicals, arresting and deporting thousands of radical immigrants in a matter of months, raiding and shutting down anarchist printing shops, and preventing anarchists from sending both periodicals and personal communications through the mail. This period is widely known as the First Red Scare, and is framed as a reaction to recent anarchist terrorism, syndicalist unionizing, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

The hoS w was Yesterday: Redefining the Writing and Research Process through Mixing and Sampling Abstract In his 2003 article "The 1963 ipH -Hop Machine: Hip-Hop Pedagogy as Composition," Jeff Rice calls for a 'whatever' pedagogy that presents an "alternative research methodology for composition" using digital sampling as instrument for writing the argumentative essay. "The hoS w was Yesterday" is an effort to reinvigorate Rice's methodology by updating it in relation to contemporary digital platforms suited to sampling and mixing. Asserting that "The hoS w was Yesterday" identifies the conventional essay as a metaphor for the encore, or a relatively small artifact that evidences a students' grasps of complex concepts. The sho" w" therefore, is metaphoric of the holistic process of planning, researching, and the sampling and mixing of sources toward the invention of an original and substantive argument.
