Comp Ara Tive Drought Strategies The Soviet Union, Paul E. Lydolph
Comp Ara Tive Drought Strategies The Soviet Union, Paul E. Lydolph
Great Plains Quarterly
Background. It cannot be emphasized enough that the Soviet Union is a highlatitude country. Odessa on the Black Sea coast, one of Russia's southern cities, lies at a latitude of 46°N, comparable to that of Billings, Montana, and in fact is cooler in summer than Billings (Lydolph 1977b). Krasnodar in the Kuban District of the North Caucasus, probably the most productive region in the Soviet Union, compares latitudinally and climatically to St. Paul, Minnesota. Kharkov, in the northeastern Ukraine, compares to Winnipeg, Canada; in fact, Winnipeg experiences higher maximum temperatures in summer than Kharkov does. The central black earth region …

Abideth Forever? Global Use Of Semiarid Lands In The Interwar Years, J. M. Powell
Abideth Forever? Global Use Of Semiarid Lands In The Interwar Years, J. M. Powell
Great Plains Quarterly
I have undertaken a highly selective Cook's Tour in this article, attempting to integrate our understanding of semiarid lands around the globe. The focus is concentrated on the period between the two great wars when new nationalisms, old imperial networks, and the burgeoning ambitions of scientists combined to create new systems of land use in the semiarid regions, but a few sorties have been made into earlier and later periods to assist the interpretation of specific projects. My own country, Australia, is used as the starting point for the tour, but the influence of American Donald Worster's Dust Bowl (1979) …
Adaptations To Adversity Agriculture, Climate And The Great Plains Of North America, Norman J. Rosenburg
Adaptations To Adversity Agriculture, Climate And The Great Plains Of North America, Norman J. Rosenburg
Great Plains Quarterly
The climate of the Great Plains of the United States and Canada has presented a challenge to agrarians throughout the centuries. In this paper I discuss some of the major climatological hazards to agriculture in the plains and some of the technological defenses that North Americans have so far used to adapt to adverse weather and climate. I conclude with a consideration of the implications for Great Plains agriculture of a likely man-induced (or anthropogenic) climatic change following the expected further increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For the purposes of this paper, I have defined agricultural drought as …

Review Of The Battle Of Batoche: British Small Warfare And The Entrenched Métis By Walter Hildebrandt, Paul L. A. H. Chartrand
Great Plains Quarterly
Metis readers will tend to react less than enthusiastically to even a fair portrayal of the military campaign which killed those whose deaths they commemorate in 1985. For that the author cannot be faulted. By his indiscriminate and unfortunate adoption of the colonizer's term "half-breed," however, he emphasizes that the traditional perception of the Metis remains.
Review Of Sophus K. Winther By Barbara Howard Meldrum, Joy Ritchie
Review Of Sophus K. Winther By Barbara Howard Meldrum, Joy Ritchie
Great Plains Quarterly
Sophus Winther, who documented the experience of Danish immigrants in the novel Take All to Nebraska, is often considered a strictly regional writer. Barbara Meldrum's analysis of Winther's fiction, political essays, and literary criticism provides evidence of a philosophical consistency and depth in Winther's writing which transcends regional boundaries. Writing about immigrants in rural settings, workers in modern cities, the soldier/ hero in post-war fiction, or about Eugene O'Neill's plays, Winther focuses on the individual struggle against the oppressiveness of physical and economic environments.
Spatial Structure In Pedestrian Route Choice, Michael R. Hill
Spatial Structure In Pedestrian Route Choice, Michael R. Hill
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Aggregated pedestrian trip lengths typically follow gravity model predictions. Given this, the present research asks which route will a pedestrian choose when confronted by two or more distance-minimizing routes of equal length. Ethological, questionnaire, and interview data reveal the spatial structure of pedestrian route choices in terms of spatial complexity measures. Route complexity is found to vary by age and gender. The study is based on data collected in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Review Of Now That The Buffalo's Gone: A Study Of Today's American Indians By Alvin M. Josephy, Jr, William H. Graves
Review Of Now That The Buffalo's Gone: A Study Of Today's American Indians By Alvin M. Josephy, Jr, William H. Graves
Great Plains Quarterly
Alvin Josephy's statement that this book is the "culmination of thirty years of association" with American Indians (p. xi) explains its purpose and reveals the difficulty of trying to evaluate it. It is a study of today's Indians, their concerns, needs, and problems. It is historical, journalistic, personal, and revealing. Josephy, former editor of American Heritage magazine, is the author of several books on American Indians, including the highly regarded Patriot Chiefs. His writing style is smooth, graceful, persuasive and readable. He writes with refreshing sensitivity and his grasp of contemporary Indian issues is impressive.
Gatt Ministerial Meeting Punta Del Este, Uruguay, Clayton K. Yeutter
Gatt Ministerial Meeting Punta Del Este, Uruguay, Clayton K. Yeutter
Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers
Mr. Chairman, fellow delegates, this week GATT faces an historic challenge. Our task is more difficult than any that has confronted world trade since the very creation of GATT in 1947. What we do in Punta del Este will determine whether GATT remains a functional, dynamic institution serving the interests of its members or declines into a static and passive association that is irrelevant to the needs of international trade.

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers
The successful launching of a comprehensive round of negotiations will be the single, most important event in international trade this year. I urge our communique contain a vigorous, unequivocal endorsement for launching a new round with a comprehensive agenda, in September. Delegations in Geneva will go over the text of our communique very carefully, and they will judge our determination by both the tone and substance of our statement. We therefore must clearly set forth our desire to begin the new round, without delay.

Recovery Of Parasite Remains From Coprolites And Latrines: Aspects Of Paleoparasitological Technique, Karl J. Reinhard, Ulisses E. Confalonieri, Bernd Herrmann, Luiz F. Ferreira, Adauto J. G. De Araujo
Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications
Standard techniques for the analysis of prehistoric soils have not been devised. It is unlikely that any single technique is applicable to all types of fecal remains. This is due to various environmental conditions which effect the preservation of helminth ova. In general, gravitational sedimentation is a useful technique for isolating helminth eggs and larvae from coprolites. Latrine soils pose greater problems for helminthological examination. Although various clinical techniques have been successfully utilized in soil study, it is important to remember that some latrine soils have not yielded helminth eggs to any clinical technique. Consequently the paleoparasitologist must be ready …
Review Of Accommodating The Pedestrian By Richard Untermann, Michael R. Hill
Review Of Accommodating The Pedestrian By Richard Untermann, Michael R. Hill
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Untermann undertakes to provide design professionals and other decision makers with a down-to-earth, practical guide for converting existing automobile-dominated urban areas into bicycle and pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods and cities. Based primarily on his personal observation, experience, and professional predilections, Untermann lists the presumed "needs" of pedestrians/bicyclists and presents a brief, uneven description of the "characteristics" of walking. A separate chapter, not well-integrated with the rest of the book, focuses specifically on bicyclists and bikeways. The second half of the book addresses specific improvements-primarily for pedestrians suggested by the author for older neighborhoods, downtowns, and suburban communities respectively.
Sexism In Space: The Freudian Formula In "Star Trek", Mary Jo Deegan
Sexism In Space: The Freudian Formula In "Star Trek", Mary Jo Deegan
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
These words, spoken at the beginning of each televised "Star Trek" episode, set the stage for the fantastic future. Although the "Star Trek" series was cancelled in 1969 after only three years of production, it generated a large cult following that flourishes still today. One reason for the series' remarkable longevity is its depiction of the future as a Freudian fantasy. This Freudian vision draws on cultural myths embedded in the patriarchal dominance of men over women characteristic of Western civilization.
According to Freud, both sexes are driven by three instincts --- sex, aggression, and the death wish---but men have …

Economic Implications Of Diminishing Groundwater Supplies In The High Plains Region, Ray Supalla, F. Charles Lamphear, Glenn D. Schaible
Economic Implications Of Diminishing Groundwater Supplies In The High Plains Region, Ray Supalla, F. Charles Lamphear, Glenn D. Schaible
Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications
The Ogallala Aquifer, which underlies a vast area reaching from Nebraska to Texas, is an important source of water for homes, industries and irrigation (Figure 1). Irrigation wells first started tapping the Ogallala in the "Dust Bowl" days of the 1930s, eventually turning 16 million acres of dry cropland and range into highly productive irrigated lands. Irrigation has changed High Plains agriculture from an uncertain and meager existence to a more certain and more viable economic enterprise. Moreover, the growth of irrigated agriculture has been the major force in the growth and development of many rural towns and communities in …
Identification By Disaggregation, Matthew J. Cushing, Mary G. Mcgarvey
Identification By Disaggregation, Matthew J. Cushing, Mary G. Mcgarvey
Department of Economics: Faculty Publications
Standard economic theory predicts that the actions of individual participants in competitive markets have negligible effects on market-determined aggregates. Applied researchers, and even some econometric textbooks, incorrectly infer from this that market prices can be modeled as econometrically exogenous with respect to the quantity demanded of an individual consumer. This faulty inference has even led some researchers (for example, Robert Engle, 1978; Nicholas Kiefer, 1984; Roger Waud, 1974) to employ an estimation strategy we call identification by disaggregation (IBD). This procedure attempts to circumvent the simultaneity problem in a macro regression by disaggregating the dependent variable and estimating the relationship …

The Relationship Between Personality Characteristics And Job Satisfaction Of Secondary Marketing Education Teachers, Connie Kay Staehr Plessman
Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Scholarship
The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the personality characteristics of secondary marketing teachers, and (2) to examine the relationship between personality characteristics and selected demographic and attitudinal variables with job satisfaction (intrinsic, extrinsic, and general) of marketing teachers. A random sample of 475 marketing teachers was drawn from the membership of the national Marketing Education Association; responses were received from 73 percent of the marketing teachers surveyed. Two instruments, the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, were combined with attitudinal and demographic questions for use in data collection. Eight null hypotheses were proposed to investigate …

The Garden-Desert Continuum Competing Views Of The Great Plains In The Nineteenth Century, John L. Allen
The Garden-Desert Continuum Competing Views Of The Great Plains In The Nineteenth Century, John L. Allen
Great Plains Quarterly
In the central portion of the great American continent there lies an arid and repulsive desert which, for many a long year, served as a barrier against the advance of civilization. From the Cordillera to Nebraska, and from the Yellowstone River in the north to the Colorado in the south, is a region of desolation and silence . . . enormous plains which, in winter, are white with snow and, in summer, are gray with the saline alkali dust. They all preserve the common characteristics of barrenness, inhospitality, and misery . ... In this stretch of country there is no …
The Emergence Of The American Agriculture Movement, 1977-1979, John Dinse, William P. Browne
The Emergence Of The American Agriculture Movement, 1977-1979, John Dinse, William P. Browne
Great Plains Quarterly
Beginning in late 1977, the media, television in particular, portrayed as a unique cultural phenomenon an emerging American Agriculture Movement (AAM), a pending farm strike, and a depressed farm economy that had caused this mobilization. Much was indeed unique, especially to the individual farmers and the specific manner in which they were attempting to apply political pressures, but the American Agriculture Movement itself was similar to other organizational attempts that have taken place in rural America.
In the following paper we chronicle the emergence of the American Agriculture Movement as a distinct entity, identify the common features in the emergence …
Benjamin Harrison And The American West, Homer E. Socolofsky
Benjamin Harrison And The American West, Homer E. Socolofsky
Great Plains Quarterly
In a speech in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1891, President Benjamin Harrison expressed his admiration for the pioneers of the American West:
My sympathy and interest have always gone out to those who, leaving the settled and populous parts of our country, have pushed the frontiers of civilization farther and farther to the westward until they have met the Pacific Ocean and the setting sun. Pioneers have always been enterprising people. If they had not been they would have remained at home; they endured great hardships and perils in opening these great mines . . . and in bringing into subjection …
Review Of Riel And The Rebellion 1885 Reconsidered By Thomas Flanagan, John E. Foster
Review Of Riel And The Rebellion 1885 Reconsidered By Thomas Flanagan, John E. Foster
Great Plains Quarterly
Professor Flanagan's latest revisionist publication heralds the centenary of the 1885 Saskatchewan Rebellion with a series of developmentally related essays, expressed as chapters, that challenge the conventional wisdom as to the factors responsible for one Plains Metis community, under Louis Riel, taking up arms to redress their grievances. At the same time Flanagan fails to address one longstanding deficiency in the literature.
Flanagan's scholarly strengths lie in his analyses of political issues and processes. His two chapters on the land issues in relation to the Rebellion are without equal. His discussion of aboriginal title is of interest in its own …

Mapping The Quality Of Land For Agriculture In Western Canada, James M. Richtik
Mapping The Quality Of Land For Agriculture In Western Canada, James M. Richtik
Great Plains Quarterly
The original impetus that brought explorers and settlers to the East Coast of North America had, at least as early as the eighteenth century, evolved into, among other things, an interest in the potential of the Canadian West for European types of agriculture. As settlement spread across the continent, the perceived value of the West changed from fur hinterland to possible agricultural empire. With this shift in interest there was a change in the purpose of exploration, and as features such as rivers, lakes, and mountains became known, assessing and mapping the agricultural potential of the land began. Cartographers would …
Review Of The Roots Of Dependency: Subsistence, Environment, And Social Change Among The Choctaws, Pawnees, And Navajos By Richard White, David Reed Miller
Review Of The Roots Of Dependency: Subsistence, Environment, And Social Change Among The Choctaws, Pawnees, And Navajos By Richard White, David Reed Miller
Great Plains Quarterly
In his 1954 essay entitled "Social Anthropology and the Method of Controlled Comparison," Fred Eggan called for studies to define carefully the parameters of research "combining the sound anthropological concepts of structure and function with the ethnological concepts of process and history." Historian Richard White presents an important contribution with this monograph, which exemplifies a response to the challenge put forth almost thirty years ago. White's decision to blend methodological and descriptive devices, drawing on the literature of several disciplines, demonstrates his willingness to present the complexity of human interactions in an effort to reconstruct the perspectives of three Indian …

Review Of Prairie Fire: The 1885 North-West Rebellion By Bob Beal And Rod Macleod, George Woodcock
Great Plains Quarterly
The North-West Rebellion is one of those events in Canadian history about which much has been written without the mass of available information having been put together in a single comprehensive account. There have been narratives of participants on both sides in the rebellion and biographies of leading figures like Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, Poundmaker and Big Bear. The causes of the rebellion have been established in regional histories like George F. Stanley's The Birth of Western Canada, and the military aspects of the incident have been described in books like Desmond Morton's The Last War Drums. …

Agreement Between Reporters And Editors In Mississippi, Will Norton Jr., John W. Windhauser, Allyn Boone
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
Both newspaper editors and reporters act as decision makers in their selections of "newsworthy" events to be published. But what editors include in newspapers is influenced by the news values of their colleagues or superiors. Studies of gatekeepers who control the flow of news have reported such results about the news selection process. Individual opinions of editors, newsroom schedules and publication technicalities, and news sources were found to affect choices of stories. Similarly, selected social and structural characteristics of media organizations had "subjective" implications for media "output." Other studies suggested that a high degree of similarity occurred in the news …
