[Review of] Raymond L. Hall. Black Separatism in the United States
A startling look at black separatist movements of the past reveals interesting facts that parallel the rise and fall of the contemporary organizations with separatist ideologies. The author focuses on the period from 1960 to 1972, analyzing five black social movement organizations: The Nation of Islam/Black Muslims, The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Non-Violent (later National) Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Black Panther Party, and the Republic of New Africa (RNA)
[Review of] John L. Hodge, Donald K. Struckmann, and Lynn Dorland Trost, Cultural Bases of Racism and Group Oppression: An Examination of Traditional Western Concepts, Values, and Institutional Structures which Support Racism, Sexism and Elitism
Dualism, a concept that simply tends to view the world in terms of âeither-orâ categories rather than âboth . . . and,â has been examined and analyzed as the primary contributor to and cause of Western domination. The dangers of dualistic thinking are, according to Hodge et al., habit forming and unconscious. The Western practitioners of such thinking trace their ideology to the ancient Greek philosophers whose ideas support and reinforce existing oppressive patterns
Designing Costumes for \u3cem\u3eVolpone\u3c/em\u3e by Ben Jonson
This poster presentation showcases my unrealized designs for Volpone by Ben Jonson, completed for the Linfield College Theatre Programâs Costume Design course taught by Laurel Peterson during the 2016 fall semester. The play focuses on Volpone, an old miser who delights in tricking wealthy acquaintances by pretending to be an invalid and attaining more money in doing so. Along with Volpone (meaning fox in Italian), many of the other characters have names pertaining to specific animals such as Mosca (the fly), Voltore (the vulture), and Peregrine. These names point to unflattering personality traits and make it easier for the audience to understand Ben Jonsonâs social commentary about European society in 1605.
My design concept combined animalistic or classic characterizations of the charactersâ personalities with a Victorian Venetian setting. In keeping with the dark undertones and somewhat Dickensian plot of the play, I chose to set it during a time strife with poverty, greedy merchants, constraining gender norms, and strict social morals unheeded by those who dared. In my costume designs, I adhered closely to the early Victorian period while also trying to convey the true nature of each character whether good or evil
New and Additional Distribution Records for Several Rare Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) in Wisconsin
One nymph and one exuviae of Acanthametropus pecatonica were collected in June 1991 from the Black River and Chippewa River, respectively. These specimens extend the known range of this rare species in Wisconsin to three large Mississippi River tributaries. Homoeoneuria ammophila was recorded in Wisconsin for the first time; nymphs were collected from the Black River and Sugar River. Nymphs of Macdunnoa persimplex, Metretopus borealis, Pentagenia vittigera, Pseudiron centralis, and Cercobrachys sp. were also encountered
Flavor Constraints on Split Fermion Models
We examine the contributions to rare processes that arise in models where the
Standard Model fermions are localized at distinct points in compact extra
dimensions. Tree-level flavor changing neutral current interactions for the
Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge field excitations are induced in such models, and hence
strong constraints are thought to exist on the size of the additional
dimensions. We find a general parameterization of the model which does not
depend on any specific fermion geography and show that typical values of the
parameters can reproduce the fermion hierarchy pattern. Using this
parameterization, we reexamine the contributions to neutral meson mixing, rare
meson decays, and single top-quark production in collisions. We find
that is it possible to evade the stringent bounds for natural regions of the
parameters, while retaining finite separations between the fermion fields and
without introducing a new hierarchy. The resulting limits on the size of the
compact dimension can be as low as TeV.Comment: 29 pages, 8 figures, uses bibtex, expanded discussion on rare B

The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter experiment
Observations of Saturn's rings by the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter are studied. From these observations attempts were made to: (1) determine the size, shape, albedo, distribution, and orientation of particles in the rings, (2) measure geometric and optical thickness of the rings, and (3) determine the effect of Saturn's satellites on dynamics of ring particles. Special attention was given to stellar and solar occulation measurements, surface brightness photometry, and phase angle dependence of intensity and polarization
OAO-2 observations of the zodiacal light
Photometric measurements of the night sky brightness have been obtained at twelve wavelengths between 1000 A and 4300 A from above the earth's atmosphere. A preliminary analysis of the data reveals a component of the sky brightness with ecliptic symmetry and an intensity distribution similar to that of the zodiacal light. The ultraviolet spectrum of the zodiacal light can be closely approximated with a two component model in which one component has an albedo proportional to the wavelength lambda and the other component has a scattering efficiency proportional to lambda to lbe minus 19 power
