Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
From Mansions to Towers: A History of Residence Halls at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
No full textThe construction of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's residence halls has generally followed that of the national trend. The school struggled to find enough funds to build residence halls in the early years. Eventually, student housing was in needed so badly that the school had no choice but to provide housing for the students. In 1947, the Dulany mansion was purchased and remodeled by the school. This building served as the University's first resident hall. Since then, eleven resident halls have been built on campus with one more being planned. Life in these residence halls have changed dramatically over time. In the 1960's, the students protested and eventually the strict rules of in loco parentis faded away. After this, students enjoyed the freedoms of new technologies, relaxed rules, and more professional housing leaders. Today, UW-Eau Claire is a thriving university. UW-Eau Claire has been recognized by many as a top school in the Midwest. Much of the success can be attributed to the residence halls and the happiness of the students. My paper will provide UW-Eau Claire and its students with a cohesive history of the residence halls on campus and will also show how student life has evolved since the University was first established

Mew York City.
My dear Mr. Zukor:
I was in negotiation with Mr.
Jesse L, Lasky prior to his departure for the
Coast, in a matter in which I represent Miss Ina
Claire.
Mr. Lasky stated that Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation desires to make the
motion picture based upon the play" "Polly with a
Past" in which picture Miss Ina Claire will be
starred.
Mr. Lasky informed me that he
would write me a letter containing an offer by
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation . He later telephoned and stated that he was forced to leave
that day for the Coast, but that he had explained
the situation to you and that you would, at once
communicate with me.
Miss Claire desires to do this
picture at or about the close of the present season.
She must therefore, make her arrangements within
a reasonable time, and consider other offers to
that end.
While there is no understanding
whereby Miss Claire is to give Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation an option, I am nevertheless inclined
to await word from you before taking this matter up
with any other concern. Will you kindly let me hear
from you at your early convenience.
With kind personal re
