University Microfilms 300 North Za«B Float! Ann Arbor, Michigan 40106 a X«Rox Education Company I I INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. t. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

Approved V Adviser Department of Kistorv PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received. University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company For l"y Father and For the Memory of !!y Mother The American Addition was platted in I898 as a pastoral hamlet on the edge of Columbus, Ohio, In the early days it was a mixed black and v/hite community* but with the influx of blacks to the community during World War I, most of the whites left. As Columbus became a metropolis, the Addition, originally an attractive community, became an ugly slum, Many of the houses were built of boxcar and scrap materials, Most Additioners led a hand-to-mouth existence. The Addition ,routh for the most part were poorly fed, poorly clad, and poorly housed. Though most newcomers to American Addition viewed Columbus as the promised landi once in the city they encountered difficulties in procuring jobs. With the aid of Columbus Urban Leagu Clinton Township Trustees, and other benevolent organiaa tions, Additioners managed to survive. In 195^ Additioners appealed to the City Council of Columbus for the annexation of their community. They believed that improvements would come only after annexa­ tion, After a long struggle, Columbus annexed the Addition in 1999» As Additioners predicted, annexation led to the rehabilitation of the community. Again, American Addition evolved as an attractive neighborhood. The period of Urban history within which the subject falls has been studied by a score of sociologists. No historian, however, has fully examined American Addi­ tion which provided a valuable experiment in Urban history. This is a typical study of some of the problems that con­ fronted blacks in urban America, I attempted to evaluate, to analyze, and to describe the evolution of the Addition from lflpa to 1971. I owe acknowledgements to a number of individuals. Especially helpful was the staff of Ohio Historical Society; Mrs. Andrea Lentz, Curator of the Manuscript Division; Mrs. I'arion Bates, Reference Librarian; Frank R, Levstik, Archives Specialist; David Rosenblatt, Oral History Specialist; Edward R. Lentz, Urban History Specialist; and Conrad Wertzel, Reference Librarian. F'eriss Cornell, professor, School of Social Work, Ohio State University, placed at my disposal his valuable manuscripts on the American Addition, Of equal value wore the pictures provided by Fhelton Simmons, supervisor, Sanitation Division, Columbus Health Department, Eldon Ward, co-owner of E, E. Ward Moving and Storage Company, took leave from his busy schedule to properly introduce me to Columbus, I'or'-over, I am deeply grateful to the many people in Columbus who granted me interviews and in several instances led me to important sources. Special thanks are due to Professor Robert H. Brenner v/ho suggested the topic and read the manuscript at every stage of its development. His kindness, in­ spiration, and constructive criticisms made my research and writing an enjoyable experience. Frofessors Harry L. Coles and K. Austin Kerr offered suggestions which saved me from numerous errors. Thanks are also due to Pro­ fessor Sydney P. Fisher who was instrumental in getting me a fellowship to study at Ohio State University, Professor Richard Hopkins who introduced me to Urban history and suggested many research techniques. Pro­ fessors Elsie H. Lewis and V.'illiston Lofton of Howard University v/ho first aroused my interest in historical research. Finally, I am thankful for Kiss Simi Johnson v/ho came into nr* life at the most crucial stage of the project and made the whole experience more complete. Columbus, Ohio F.J.

  • The Schulte Family in Alpine, California
    THE SCHULTE FAMILY IN ALPINE, CALIFORNIA The two things that have led to my connection and fascination with Alpine are my visits with my grandmother, Marguerite (Borden) Head or “Zuella”, and the Foss family in the 1950s, and the exquisite art work of Leonard Lester (see separate articles titled The Marguerite (Borden) and Robert Head Family of Alpine” and “Leonard Lester – Artist”). Most of the information on the Schulte family presented here is from 1) conversations with my father, Claude H. Schulte; 2) my grandfather, Christopher Henry Schulte, whose personal history was typed by his daughter, Ruth in 1942; and 3) supplemented by interviews with and records kept by my Aunt Ruth Schulte, including her mother’s diary. Kenneth Claude Schulte – December 2009 Christopher Henry Schulte, who immigrated to the United States in 1889, was born in Twistringen, Germany on 21 Dec 1874 and died 1 May 1954 in Lemon Grove, San Diego Co., California. In Arkansas he was married on 28 Jul 1901 to Flora Birdie Lee, born 16 Oct. 1883, Patmos, Hempstead Co., Arkansas and died 11 Jul 1938, Alpine, San Diego Co., California. Henry and Birdie had eight children: 1. Carl Lee Schulte b. 14 Oct 1902 Arkansas 2. Lois Birdie Schulte b. 07 Jun 1904 Arkansas 3. Otto Albert Schulte b. 29 May 1908 Arkansas 4.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • Bloody Bogalusa and the Fight for a Bi-Racial Lumber Union: a Study
    BLOODY BOGALUSA AND THE FIGHT FOR A BI-RACIAL LUMBER UNION: A STUDY IN THE BURKEAN REBIRTH CYCLE by JOSIE ALEXANDRA BURKS JASON EDWARD BLACK, COMMITTEE CHAIR W. SIM BUTLER DIANNE BRAGG A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2016 Copyright Josie Alexandra Burks 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The Great Southern Lumber Mill (Great Southern Lumber), for which Bogalusa, Louisiana was founded in 1906, was the largest mill of its kind in the world in the early twentieth century (Norwood 591). The mill garnered unrivaled success and fame for the massive amounts of timber that was exported out of the Bogalusa facility. Great Southern Lumber, however, was also responsible for an infamous suppression of a proposed biracial union of mill workers. “Bloody Bogalusa” or “Bogalusa Burning,” to which the incident is often referred, occurred in 1919 when the mill’s police force fired on the black leader of a black unionist group and three white leaders who supported unionization, killing two of the white leaders, mortally wounding the third, and forcing the black unionist to flee from town in order to protect his life (Norwood 592). Through the use of newspaper articles and my personal, family narrative I argue that Great Southern Lumber Company, in order to squelch the efforts of the union leaders, engaged in a rhetorical strategy that might be best examined through Kenneth Burke’s theory of the Rebirth Cycle.

  • The Evidence
    THE EVIDENCE 79 We include the continual and constant threats and demonstrations of the Ku Klux Klan against the Negro people as acts which cause serious mental harm to members of the group. The cases are bare reports, a few among thousands. The incalculable damage that each "case" causes not only to the individual, but to the Negro community, requires little elaboration. What is obvious from , casual notice is the careless disregard for Negro life, liberty, and person ' _hat is the distinctive trait of genocide. ~ Of great pertinence then in the conclusion of Helen V. McLean in an article "Psycho-dynamic Factors in Racial Relations" published in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. "The high incidence of hypertension among southern Negroes is prob­ ably one indication of an· unconscious attempt at the mastery of the hostility which must be controlled .... the chronic rage of these individ­ uals produces the hypertension which initially. is fluctuating in character . Eventually the pathological changes resulting from this overload on the cardiovascular-renal system lead to a consistently high blood pressure. "All available evidence from clinicians," the article continues, "indi­ cates that functional (that is psychosomatic) disease is markedly on the increase in the Negro." Dr. E. Franklin Frazier supports this view in an article titled "Psycho­ logical Factors in Negro Health" published in the Journal of Social Forces, Volume 3· "The psychology of the Negro, developed in the repressive environ­ ment in which he lives, might be described as the psychology of the sick .... It must certainly mean a reduction in that energy which char­ acterizes healthy organisms." The mental harm done to the Negro people of the United States by the conditions forced upon them is incalculable.
