The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

  • Trading Places: America and Europe in the Middle East
    Trading Places: America and Europe in the Middle East Philip H. Gordon See if this story sounds familiar. A Western Great Power, long responsible for security in the Middle East, gets increasingly impatient with the hard- line position taken by nationalist leaders in Iran. Decades of historical baggage weigh heavily on both sides, and the Iranians deeply resent the way the Great Power had supported its corrupt former leaders and exer- cised influence over their internal affairs. In turn, the Great Power resents the challenge to its global leadership posed by the Tehran regime and begins to prepare plans for the use of military force. With the main protagonists refusing all direct diplomatic contact and heading toward a confrontation, the Great Power’s nervous allies dispatch negotiators to Tehran to try to defuse the dispute and offer a compromise. The Great Power denounces the compromise as appeasement and dusts off the military plans. The West is deeply split on how to handle yet another challenge in the Persian Gulf and a major showdown looms. The time and place? No, not America, Iran and Europe today, but the 1951 clash between the United Kingdom and the Mohammad Mosaddeq regime in Iran, with the United States in the role of mediator. In 1951, the issue at hand was not an incipient Iranian nuclear programme but Mosaddeq’s plan to nationalise the Iranian oil industry. The Truman administration, sympathetic to Iran’s claim that it deserved more control over its own resources, feared that Britain’s hard line would push Iran in an even more anti-Western direction and worried about an intra-Western crisis at a time when a common enemy required unity.

  • From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro"
    Trading Places: From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro" Alyson Cole In March of 1988, the faculty of the Afro-American Studies Department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst unanimously demanded that the University remove one of its most distinguished members, Professor Julius Lester. The official reason given for this unprecedented request was that Lester had become an "anti-Negro-Negro."1 In making this extraordinary demand, Lester's colleagues were reacting to the recent publication of his autobiography. En­ titled Loves ong: On Becoming a Jew (1988a), the book tells the story of Lester's conversion to Judaism and details his growing alienation from Black politics. The faculty's lengthy report concluded, "Professor Lester would be infinitely more comfortable at a different location in the University" (Lester 1988b, 17- 8).2 Elaborating on the written account, one of the authors pointedly remarked that retaining Lester in Afro-American Studies is "like having Yassir Arafat teach­ ing in the Jewish Studies Department."3 The University eventually complied with the request and transferred Professor Lester to another department. This bit of academic infighting soon became national news.4 Journalists reminded their readers that back in the late 1960s, when he was a prominent Black Power activist, Lester gained notoriety as an anti-Semite. The Los Ange­ les Times maintained that now Lester was himself a victim of anti-Semitism.5 Despite the University's intervention, or perhaps because of it, the scandal re­ fused to die. Lester himself contributed to the prolonged life of this affair by 0026-3079/2003/4403-037S2.50/0 American Studies, 44:3 (Fall 2003): 37-76 37 38 Alyson Cole rehashing events and responding to his detractors in published articles and pub­ lic lectures.6 More significant still, conservative critics enthusiastically seized upon the story of Lester's excommunication.

  • Social Turnabout in Credit Card Advertising
    Social Turnabout In Credit Card Advertising Title: STICKING IT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT: SOCIAL TURNABOUT IN CREDIT CARD ADVERTISING , By: Abrams, Bill, ETC: A Review of General Semantics, 0014164X, Fall92, Vol. 49, Issue 3 Database: MasterFILE Premier STICKING IT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT: SOCIAL TURNABOUT IN CREDIT CARD ADVERTISING Contents Just Show Them Your Card The privileged have their membership They’re everywhere we want to be And They Don’t Take American Express The world turned upside down SOCIAL TURNABOUT; the idea and the dream have been with us before we were even a country. The high and mighty get their come-uppance and the low become high. We are a people formed and reformed of the disenfranchised, the outsiders of other places, and we haven’t forgotten it. America gave us a whole new chance to be on the inside. Our popular arts and literature have often reflected social reversal, and as we’ll see, so has our advertising. Mark Twain enjoyed the notion immensely. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom and his fellow ne’er do wells end up as heros of the town’s establishment, showered with respectability, while his “good boy” brother Sid is revealed to be sneaky and mean-spirited. Successful social reversal generally requires a pack of like- minded rebels. The pack in the movie Animal House is Delta, the lowest-rated fraternity at Faber University, formed of rejects from the school’s more respectable fraternities. In the film’s elaborately choreographed conclusion, the school’s Dean and the town’s Mayor are literally toppled at the homecoming parade.

  • New Years Eve Films
    Movies to Watch on New Year's Eve Going Out Is So Overrated! This year, New Year’s Eve celebrations will have to be done slightly differently due to the pandemic. So, the Learning Curve thought ‘Why not just ring in 2021 with some feel-good movies in your comfy PJs instead?’ After all, everyone knows that the best way to turn over a new year is snuggled up in front of the TV with a hot beverage in your hand. The good news is, no matter how you want to feel going into the next year, there’s a movie on this list that’ll deliver. Best of all — you won’t wake up the next day and begin January with a hangover! Godfather Part II (1974) Director: Francis Ford Coppola Starring: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall Continuing the saga of the Corleone crime family, the son, Michael (Pacino) is trying to expand the business to Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba. They delve into double crossing, greed and murder as they all try to be the most powerful crime family of all time. Godfather part II is hailed by fans as a masterpiece, a great continuation to the story and the best gangster movie of all time. This is a character driven movie, as we see peoples’ motivations, becoming laser focused on what they want and what they will do to get it. Although the movie is a gripping slow crime drama, it does have one flaw, and that is the length of the movie clocking in at 3 hours and 22 minutes.
