Contributions to the Flora of Cimarron County and the Black Mesa Area
Get PDFThis paper reports the results of recent collection activities in Cimarron County, including the Black Mesa area, in the state of Oklahoma. A total of 331 taxa in 60 families were collected. Two-hundred and six genera, 279 species and 52 infraspecific taxa were identified. The largest families were the Poaceae with 72 taxa and the Asteraceae with 63. Thirty-six exotic taxa were collected (10.9 % of the flora), including two species new to Oklahoma: Scorzonera laciniata and Ranunculus testiculatus. Forty-six taxa tracked by the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory were found
Accepting a woman president
Get PDFBACKGROUND In the spring of 1972 the National Opinion Research Center asked a probability sample of United States citizens the following question: "If your party nominated a woman for President, would you vote for her if she were qualified for the job?" The same question was researched again in 1974 and again in 1977. The same universe of non instutionalized English-speaking people aged 18 or older in the continental United States was used each time to generate a block quote. Sample of 1161 in 1972, a block quota sample of 1484 in 1974, and a full probability sample of 1530 in 1977. Ferree (1974) used data from both the National Opinion Research Center and the American Institute of Public Opinion, and described the results of asking a similar question of the United States pub Ii c six times from 1958 to 1972. She noted that 1972 marked a sharp change in attitude. She reported that in 1958, 55% would vote for a woman, and that this percentage stayed fair I y constant through the 1960' s, but increased considerably in 1972. This increase was particularly marked among young educated women. Similarly, education was unsystematically related to their willingness through the first five data sets, but became strongly and linearly related to it in 1972. Men had been more willing than women to vote for a woman until 1972. Ferree optimistically concluded that. These recent shifts toward less prejudice toward women would continue in a linear fashion in the future. The focus of the present research is to examine data collected since Ferree's analysis to determine what has occurred in people's willingness to vote for a woman for President, and to find the relation of sex, age, education, and other demographic variables to this issue
Modeling the rock band and audience interaction
Get PDFINTRODUCTION With increasing enthusiasm of bar patrons in the United States, researchers need a general framework to classify components of interaction to study musicians as performers in typical bar settings. A model can be applied to musicians of various types, by size of unit, and style and character of music performed. Style is classed by the musician's repertoire, such as country, folk and rock, or combined categories like foIk-rock and country-rock. The type of music group in this study is the 3-member rock band. The decision to use small rock bands is from the first au thor's association with such bands as a performing member for 9 years, in amateur, semi-pro and professional settings. The second author suggested the sociological application, based on participant observation
