Syn-kinematic strata influence the structural evolution of emergent fold-thrust belts

Butler University and the dream of distinction.
No full textThis history of Butler University in the period from 1915 to 1933 focuses on the institution's attempt, through the leadership of its Board of Directors, to become a major university serving Indianapolis and the Midwest. The study begins by describing the external context preceding the emergence of the "Greater Butler idea." The germ of the "Greater Butler idea" emerged out of a $250,000 campaign from 1905--1909. The success of this campaign strengthened the control of Hilton U. Brown over the Board. He assured the rise of Thomas Carr Howe to the presidency of the institution. This partnership and the support of a small circle of Board members and local civic leaders provided the early vision and energy to launch an effort to establish Butler as a major private university serving the Midwest. The study chronicles the efforts of Brown and a small inner circle to convince the Board, alumni, and the Church to support the ``Greater Butler idea'' and to move Butler to a new larger campus amidst the turmoil of World War I and a post war depression. In order to build a greater university, it was necessary to raise large sums of money in a short time. The success of this campaign rested on the shoulders of John W. Atherton, the son-in-law of Hilton U. Brown. Atherton's efforts brought new support to Butler from Arthur Jordan, who gave over a million dollars to build the academic buildings on the new campus. Even though President Howe left after the War, Brown, Atherton and William G. Irwin of Columbus, Indiana, formed a powerful triumvirate that kept the momentum going throughout the 1920's. The study also looks at the effort to use athletics to gain the support of alumni and local civic leaders. This led to a crisis over North Central Association accreditation and to the debacle of the presidency of Walter Scott Athearn. Athearn's efforts to force the Board to relinquish its control proved to be a losing battle that led to his dismissal and the retreat of the institution into quiet somnolence for the next fifty years.PhDEducationUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

What's Queer about Political Science?
No full textThere is something queer (by which we mean strange) going on in the scholarly practice of political science. Why are political science scholars continuing to disregard issues of gender and sexuality – and in particular queer theory – in their lecture theatres, seminar rooms, textbooks, and journal articles? Such everyday issues around common human experience are considered by other social scientists to be central to the practice and theory of social relations. In this article we discuss how these commonplace issues are being written out of (or, more accurately, have never been written in to) contemporary political science. First, we present and discuss our findings on citation practice in order to evidence the queerness of what does and does not get cited in political science scholarship. We then go on to critique this practice before suggesting a broader agenda for the analysis of the political based on a queer theoretical approach
Racial conflict and polarization as a constraint on black mayoral leadership in urban policy: an analysis of public finance and urban development in Atlanta, Georgia during the mayoral tenure of Maynard H. Jackson, 1973-1977, 1989
No full textThis research represents a case study of black mayoral leadership under conditions of racial conflict and polarization. The subject is Maynard H. Jackson, who was elected as the first black mayor of Atlanta, Georgia in 1973 . This study examines Mayor Jackson's leadership in the areas of public finance and urban development during his first term in office. The research begins with a socio-economic and political profile of Atlanta as of 1973, which establishes the existence of a state of racial conflict and polarization in the city as of Mayor Jackson's election. After identifying specific preferences of Maynard Jackson relative to the policy areas under review in this research, the study isolates particular behavioral tendencies exhibited by Mayor Jackson in pursuit of his desired policy agenda and examines the outcomes of mayoral leadership. Content analysis of relevant urban studies literature and government documents represents a major methodological tool employed in this research. Additional data sources include items from a collection of Maynard Jackson�s papers housed at the Altanta University Center Library, media accounts of political affairs in Atlanta during the Jackson administration, and personal interviews with individuals prominently associated with the Jackson administration. The study concludes that Mayor Jackson�s leadership in the policy areas covered by this research corresponds to a style characterized as "progressive conciliation.� This term is used to describe a mode of leadership behavior particularly germane to black mayors in racially polarized communities wherein the balancing of policy reform initiatives in behalf of historically disadvantaged urban blacks against accommodating concerns of traditionally dominant white interests relative to the impact of such reforms is a predominant tendency. This behavior is best understood as an attempt to establish a state of parity between elements in the respective racial groups relative to urban policy as opposed to representing the pursuit of a racially partisan agenda. This study ultimately aspires to contribute toward the development of a typology of leadership styles applicable to black mayors as a unique group of urban chief executives
