PFF Professoriate Careers: Music
No full textabstract: The P[reparing]F[uture]F[aculty] Speakers Series, sponsored by the Arizona State University Graduate College, brings faculty to campus to speak about their careers. These two speakers, Paul Lehman, from the University of Michigan, and Jere Humphreys, from Arizona State University, are well-known experts in their respective fields. Both and university music faculty and spoke at ASU on April 21, 1995.
Professor Lehman begins by discussing teaching in general, then talks about the role of technology in teaching, discusses the relationship between higher education and K-12 education, and ends with some observations on teaching in higher education.
Professor Humphreys then offers some practical tips on securing a faculty position in music at a college. He outlines the process colleges use to select new faculty members, what colleges look for in candidates, and what steps applicants should take in applying for a position.Copyright Arizona Board of Regents (1995)
Ontogeny of an anchialine ostracod from Western Australia and comments on the origin and distribution of Halocyprididae
No full textJuvenile instars II, IV, and V of the anchialine halocyprid ostracod Danielopolina kornickeri Danielopol, Baltanas & Humphreys, 2000 (Thaumatocyprididae) are described and illustrated. In addition, a supplementary description of the adult male is presented. Specimens had been collected in Bundera Sinkhole, the type locality of the species in Western Australia. Also, juvenile instars I and II of the deep-sea species Thaumatoconcha radiata Kornicker & Sohn, 1976, which is in the same family as members of the genus Danielopolina, are described and illustrated. It is tentatively concluded that during its ontogeny, D. kornickeri has 6 growth stages; morphological characters useful in identifying the stage and sex of juveniles of D. kornickeri are presented. Finally, the hypothesis is proposed for an anchialine cave ancestor to the present-day planktonic Halocyprididae, now widely spread in the oceans. © 2010 BRILL.Louis S. Kornicker, W.F.

Reading Difficulty Levels of Selected Articles in the Journal of Research in Music Education and Journal of Historical Research in Music Education
No full textabstract: Readability formulas are used widely in education, and increasingly in business and government. Over
30 years of research on more than 200 readability formulas has demonstrated moderate to strong predictive correlations with reading comprehension. In this study, five well-known readability formulas
correlated highly with each other when applied to selected recent historical articles (N = 22) from two
music education research journals. The mean level of difficulty (readability) for all 22 articles was grade
14.04, near the beginning of the second year of college. Since research shows that most people read
below their highest completed school grade and also prefer easier materials, this is probably an
appropriate level of difficulty for the presumptive readers of these two journals (i.e., holders of
undergraduate and graduate degrees). Professors, librarians, and others responsible for guiding
students toward reading material at appropriate levels of readability could benefit from these results.abstract: 中文摘要

Music Mainstreaming: Practices in Arizona, by James Frisque, Loretta Niebur, and Jere T. Humphreys
No full textabstract: This study examined mainstreaming in music via a survey of a sample of Arizona music educators. Among the respondents (n - 107), the vast majority are or have been responsible for teaching students with disabilities, although most have received little or no training in special education. Emotionally/behaviorally disordered students are perceived as the most difficult to mainstream, and physically handicapped and speech-impaired students the least difficult. Among disabled students, "learning disabled" was the category most frequently encountered. In most schools, mainstreaming is the only music placement option, and regular music faculty members are the sold providers of music instruction for special learners. Musical ability to rarely the primary reason for mainstreaming students, few respondents have access to special education consultants or adequate time to individualize programs, and most respondents rarely or never participate in placement decisions. The respondents' goals for special learners in music center on student participation and classroom management, with little demarcation between musical and nonmusical goals or objectives. We concluded that effective mainstreaming in music, as implied by the Education for Handicapped Children Act of 1975 and recommended by the Music Educators National Conference, does not exist in Arizona
Troglobitic millipedes (Diplopoda: Paradoxosomatidae) from semi-arid Cape Range, Western Australia: systematics and biology
No full textParadoxosomatid millipedes are an important component of the rich troglobitic fauna of the semi-arid tropical Cape Range, Western Australia. They are found in at least 55 of the 282 caves known from Cape Range covering >500 km2. The millipedes occur in dense populations only in areas of high relative humidity and organic carbon content. They appear to be opportunistic and are able to grow and breed rapidly on the intermittently available patches of organic matter washed into the caves by unpredictable rainfall. A new genus of paradoxosomatid millipedes (Stygiochiropus, gen. nov.), comprising three species (S. communis, sp. nov., S. sympatricus, sp. nov., and S. isolatus, sp. nov.) is described from the caves. A key is provided for males, but females cannot be identified. The only widespread species (S. communis) separates into three provinces between which there are many fixed allelic differences, as determined by allozyme electrophoresis. Although these genetic provinces are separated by deep gorges that cut through the cavernous limestone into the underlying non-cavernous strata, the millipede populations cannot be separated using morphological criteria. The affinities of the millipedes are unknown, but they are part of a rich community of troglobites (>26 species) of which many species have affinities with the northern wet tropical forest fauna, rather than with the current semi-arid fauna.W.

Instrumental Music in American Education: In Service of Many Masters
No full textabstract: A discussion of instrumental music in American educational institutions during the last 100 years, a century that has encompassed virtually the entire history of tax-supported instrumental music education in this country. The essay deals with the entry of instrumental music into the school and college curriculum, the evolution of instrumental music education, reasons for success disparities between instructional modes, the "masters" and "world-be masters" that instrumental music education attempts to serve, and some speculations about the future. Instrumental music ensembles share with choral ensembles the following characteristics, as opposed to the (far) less successful instructional modes in schools: they are single medium, generally do not deal with controversial materials, and involve large numbers of students in a single ensemble. These ensembles owe their entry and continuing success in schools largely to popularity with students and the public.One of five addresses that constituted a symposium commemorating the centennial of the Ithaca College School of Music, organized by Mark Fonder and held at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York in October 1992. The speakers and their topics were: Michael L. Mark, overview; George N. Heller, general music, Jere T. Humphreys, instrumental music; Colleen Kirk, choral music; and Richard Colwell, the future

The Impeachment and Removal of Tennessee Judge West Humphreys: John Bingham\u27s Prologue to the Johnson Impeachment Trial
No full textAt the beginning of the Civil War many individuals who held positions under the United States government submitted resignations which, in their minds, allowed them to assume positions with the so-called government of the Confederate States of America. One of the few individuals who did not do so, but nevertheless assumed a position under the Confederate States of America was U.S. District Judge West H. Humphreys. After the Confederacy was formed, he continued to hold court in the same courtroom but under the guise of a Confederate States Judge.
This presented two problems for President Lincoln and the Unionists. First, without even the thin reed of resignation to attempt to protect him, this made Humphreys a visible and active traitor. Second, though one could argue that Humphreys had functionally vacated the U.S. District Court judgeship, others could make arguments that as long as Humphreys had not resigned there was no vacancy for President Lincoln to fill.
Apparently with pressure from the Unionists of Tennessee, a decision was made to pursue impeachment proceedings against Judge Humphreys. The House voted for impeachment and elected as one of the managers future 14th Amendment author John A. Bingham. (R-OH.) He was the principle lawyer examining witnesses in the trial before the U.S. Senate. While it was a relatively short trial, it gave Bingham experience that no doubt proved useful later in the impeachment proceeding against Andrew Johnson.
Judge Humphreys was ultimately convicted and removed from office, thus creating an opening for Unionist Connolly F. Trigg to be appointed judge in his place. Moreover, Judge Humphreys unintentionally earned a footnote in history as the first official who was not only convicted, but also permanently barred from holding any office under the United States government. This article tells the story of Congressman Bingham\u27s prosecution of the trial to a successful conclusion
