Is History Dead?
December 1976 | Volume 28, Issue 1
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," George Santayana said. The wisdom ofthat American philosopher has fallen on deaf ears in recent years. The study of history—if we believe many of the current generation—is not relevant. Fewer courses in history are offered in schools, and often history is lumped into the educational grab bags of "social sciences" or "American studies." One result, as a New York Times quiz for college students bore out, is an appalling deficiency in knowledge about the American past.
How did we come to this? What is wrong with the way history is taught today? What is the value of studying it?
At the request of AMERICAN HERITAGE , three noted historians of differing persuasions—Page Smith, codirector of the William James Association, Santa Cruz, California; Eugene D. Genovese. of the University of Rochester; and Richard M. Hunt of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard—offer here their thinking on the issue. And for those of our readers who want to test their own knowledge of American history, we provide a sampling of the Times quiz on pages 88-89.
ADAPTED FROM AN ARTICLE BY PAGE SMITH TO APPEAR IN THE JANUARY, 1977, ISSUE OF Learning, The Magazine for Creative Teaching ; COPYRIGHT © 1976 BY EDUCATION TODAY COMPANY, INC.
Athough much of my own professional life as a historian has been spent in front of a class of students—elementary, secondary, college, and graduate—I have strong misgivings about the way history is being taught in most schools.
It is my belief that a child experiences the world with a particular kind of immediacy. An event a month in the future seems an interminable time away. Time past is bound by the child's memory. Historical time is infinitely remote and unreal. Many adults live with this immediacy most of their lives. Others gain a historical perspective or "consciousness" that enables them to get a sense of their own relationship to past experience and history. One familiar example would be the indifference that most of us felt as children to the "history" of our parents or grandparents. Later, often when they were dead, we longed to be able to quiz them about the history that they had experienced. Obviously, our interest in history in general grows as we acquire more and more personal history and reflect upon its meaning. We are faced, then, as teachers of history, with the problem of having to teach too soon.
Often in conformity to state law, a certain amount of history is taught in primary and secondary schools under the rubric of social studies, especially the history of the pupil's own state and nation. Granted that state legislators and school boards are going to insist on a minimum amount of history being taught at the primary and secondary school level, the concern becomes: How is history to be taught?
I suppose for many students the most dismal part of historical study is committing to memory certain selected historical facts: the dates of battles, the names of presidents and generals, and so on. The poor benighted history student learns facts in the same spirit that the chemistry student learns the elements in various compounds.
In the same vein, the treatment of history as "facts" diminishes or destroys the student's sense of the utility or relevance of history. If "history" is something embalmed in a textbook, it is difficult to experience as an open process and an essential resource. Black students or females or American Indians may see no relation between the events described in the textbook and the experience of their own race or sex. Even when such groups are now included in history texts, a considerable degree of skepticism remains about the claims of the conventional textbook to be a satisfactory account "of what happened."
History, however, is something infinitely more complex and more interesting than facts. It is profoundly mysterious as well as extraordinarily complex. As simple "information" it is of little use other than on examinations. But an individual's life is made up of a number of experiences. The individual learns from these experiences and matures in direct proportion to his or her own capacity to reflect on their meaning and absorb into his or her own life their positive residue. The study of history is an extension of this process—this act of incorporating. The capacity to learn from experience clearly does not rest on mastering facts. In our own personal histories we have no notion that the validity of a particular experience depends on our remembering the precise date on which it happened, or, for that matter, the year. I cannot remember the date of the most moving and disturbing experience of my life: the death of my mother. That may indeed be because, for me, that event exists outside of time. I experience it daily.
A fact is often taken to represent something that has happened and is "over," whereas all true history continues and exists as much in our future as in our past. If the purpose of teaching history were to be defined as making the student aware of the power of history in his or her own life or as making students conscious of themselves as historical beings , it would enable us to think more clearly about the problem of teaching history.

Stella's mama never should've put Stella on the church prayer list. With Stella's 27th birthday coming up fast, Nancy desperately wants to see her daughter married and giving her grandbabies. Petitioning heaven seems like a surefire way to get it done. But in Cadillac, Texas, where the gossip's hotter than the city's famous jalapeño peppers, it isn't long before all hell breaks loose.
Heather, the bossy leader of the church's Prayer Angels, thinks a summer ball will get Stella and the town's other single gals paired off. But nobody can tell redheaded spitfire Stella what to do - not her mama, not Heather, and not even the sexy beau Stella's been seeing in secret. Together, Stella, her best friends Charlotte and Piper, and the loyal customers of the Yellow Rose Beauty Shop hatch a good old-fashioned scheme to sabotage the ball. But will it wreck Stella's relationship with her mama forever? And what will the church folk think when Stella reveals the identity of her mystery man?

"Disappointing, could have been much better"
The story is good but it could have been told better and I did not care for the narrator. Every other word is damn, hell or shit which was completely unnecessary. In addition, all the cursing did not fit with the setting of a small, southern town in Texas. The story centers around the ladies of the town church. I feel like the book was written by a novice author.
"love her books!"
This is the third book I have read by this Author- love these books. Characters are always great, make you laugh out loud.
"Great southern romance but lose the song lyrics"
Find my Daughter a husband, this is the sign at the local church that gets put up after a prayer request. Needless to say things did not go as planned, daughter was upset with her mama and good intentions were quickly turned into bad ideas. This story was filled with good old Southern charm, the narrator did a great job keeping us in the southern mindset. I think the main reason I enjoyed the book so much was due to the narrator, when I focused on the actual wording of the book it lost some of it's charm. I think the author tried to hard to throw in all the cliches possible. I also hate when song lyrics take up most of a chapter, oh how he sang to her.... It's not your work, I have no problem with a song line being thrown out there, or a song title but lets not loose an entire chapter to a song.
"Tough to even finish"
Story and characters lacked depth. Predictable, simplistic and boring. I had a hard time finishing the book.
I understand that the narrator was trying to give the characters authentic dialect and accents, but it was painful. It was irritating to listen to and the improper use of grammar drove me nuts.
Disappointment. Poorly written drivel.
Sorry, but for me this is a load of fluff. No real story line, silly characters, and the narrator was only marginal. People actually gave this a 5 star?
"Okay, but I was expecting it to be better"
I had high hopes for this audio book. It was predictable without any surprises. The reader was excellent and saved it for me, otherwise, I may not have finished it.
"wonderfully awesome"
did not the print version
I loved the comparison to steel magnolias.
first time for Ms . Merlington's reading I thought she captured the voices very well. My parents were from a small Texas town and my mother never lost her twang.
The name was just great would not change a thing.
laughed and cried and had a glorious time with all the characters in the story.
"Insulting book to Christian women."
Absolutely not
No idea
I've been around Christian women all of my life. The profanity used in this book is out of place. I heard more profanity in this book than a lifetime of being around women. And a Christian pastor would not deceive a board of elders to get hired. This author is clueless and insulting. The book would have been passable if she had not centered it around a church.
"Yellow Rose of Texas"
This was a fun story. It was one of those feel good books. I would recommend this to any of my girlfriends. I would love a second part, about the going's on in Cadillac. I would also love to have that bunch (friends) as part of my tribe. Recommend. ; )
"I'm moving to Cadillac!"
Fun, light read. I've laughed, and cried. Sweet moments with a group of wonderful friends. What's not to like? I want to live in Cadillac, Texas!
Steel Magnolias
Fun, easy to listen too; her voice held my interest.

Photo pictured: Standing outside the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona, Spain. Studying abroad is the best decision that I have made while attending Shippensburg University. I not only met different people of the world and saw some of the Earth's greatest beauties, but I also came back with a new set of skills and a greater understanding of what I want to do after graduation.
"This is the town of Luneburg, where I lived and went to school. The best part about studying abroad was meeting people from all over the world".
"In this picture I'm at a Sevilla FC Copa del Rey soccer match. The best thing about studying abroad is learning more outside of the classroom than in it. Don't get me wrong, my education was an immersion experience in and of itself, but traveling and simple conversations with friends or locals taught and inspired me more than I could ever have imagined".
Photo pictured: Walking along the Great Wall of China in Beijing.
"Self-growth is found in those spaces outside of your comfort zone. Become comfortable with being uncomfortable."
"To know the world, become of it"
"I've always loved adventure, and while studying abroad I was able to fulfill my need for that. By traveling, learning new cultures, and meeting a lot of people from all over the world, I can honestly say that there has been no better opportunity. In this picture, I am in my country of study at Legoland. Lego is one of Denmark's largest companies and I had an absolute blast at their amusement park.
"For my semester abroad, I studied at the University of Westminster in London, England. The best part of studying abroad is experiencing a completely different culture and meeting some awesome people. I was able to meet people from multiple countries and I still remain in touch with them today. By studying abroad, I was able to broaden my horizons and see more of what this world has to offer. There's no doubt that traveling abroad was one of the best experiences of my college career. This is a picture of me standing at the Prime Meridian based at the Royal Observatory, in Greenwich, London".
"In the picture my friends and I went to a soccer game, Costa Rica vs. Venezuela, and Costa Rica won. The best thing about studying abroad was the everlasting friendships that were made." (pictured, second from right)
"In the picture, we hiked to the top of a mountain in Granada to get a nice view of the entire city. The best thing about studying abroad was getting to experience an entirely new culture while making new friends and trying new things every day. It was an adventure!" (pictured, far left)
"My internship in New Zealand was nothing short of amazing. I completely fell in love with its Kiwi culture and gorgeous landscapes, but beyond that, my favorite aspect was constantly being put out of my comfort zone. Between my internship and my travels I was faced with so much 'new'- and it was exhilarating. Meeting like-minded people along the way only made me feel more at home when I was worlds away. This photo was taken in Queenstown, NZ- the adventure capital of the world! I'm standing in front of a mountain range appropriately named The Remarkables."
"This is a picture from my first week in London standing in front of Big Ben! I would say the best part of studying abroad was being able to travel around to so many places and learn about so many cultures with the most amazing lifelong friends I made over there."
Studying abroad in a foreign country was my most rewarding college experience thus far. I spent my Fall 2014 semester in Barcelona, Spain and was able to stay right on track with my degree here at Ship. It is said that traveling the world is the only thing you buy in life that makes you
richer and I truly believe that. Studying in Europe gave me the opportunity to easily travel to many different countries and experience different cultures from around the world. This picture was taken in front of Big Ben, the famous grandfather clock in London, England.
The best part about studying abroad was being given the opportunity to explore a foreign country, making new friends and taking in so much new knowledge along the way.
The picture was taken in Florence, Italy on top of the dome of The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore overlooking the city. It took 463 steps to get to the top, but it was worth it!

Let's pull plug on energy saving myths
You've read the energy-saving tips. You've armed yourself with caulk. You're ready to do some serious damage to your gas and electric bills.
Not so fast.
Some common recommendations for cutting energy use don't save as much as we're led to believe, said Michael Blasnik, a building-science consultant from the Boston area. Blasnik analyzes and evaluates energy efficiency claims, and he's found that some widely cited savings don't hold up to scrutiny.
"A lot of things have really not been evaluated. … It's remarkable how little research has been done on what really saves energy," Blasnik said.
He's out to change that. In an effort to figure out what really works, he's done analysis that includes studying the utility bills of homeowners who participate in home weatherization programs and comparing their savings to the expectations offered by such sources as government agencies, utility companies and the media.
In the process, he's busting some energy-saving myths.
That's not to say those things aren't worth doing. Some might make your home cleaner or more comfortable, or they may be important to maintaining what you own. And there's an argument to be made that even tiny savings add up for the greater good.
What's more, Blasnik is quick to note that variables such as how we live, how our homes are built and the climates we live in make it impossible to come up with numbers across the board.
Here are what he considers some of the least effective recommendations.
Replacing windows
A lot of good arguments can be made for replacing old, leaky windows. They'll make your home more comfortable. They can solve condensation problems and prevent moisture damage. They might boost your home's resale value.
But they won't pay for themselves in energy savings, Blasnik said.
In a study he completed for Concord Municipal Light in the Boston area, he determined that replacing 15 old windows would save $42 to $112 per year. Even at that higher number, it would take more than 62 years' worth of energy savings to pay for $7,000 worth of windows.
Weather-sealing windows and doors
Caulking and weatherstripping windows and doors is a better idea for increasing comfort than saving energy, Blasnik said.
Maybe 20 percent of the air leakage in a house is through the windows and doors – even less in a newer, tighter home, he said. Blasnik said the bulk of the leakage in a typical home is from air coming into the basement, traveling up through wall cavities and escaping through the attic.
In his research, caulking and weatherstripping doors and windows saved $7 to $28 a year.
That may be worth the expense if you do the work yourself, but if you hire the job out, the payback period can be long, he said.
Closing the refrigerator door quickly
Despite the harping of moms everywhere, standing in front of an open refrigerator while you ponder its contents will not drive up your electricity bill, Blasnik said.
The moment you open the door, the cooled air rushes out, and it's a fairly trivial loss, he said. Most of the refrigerator's coldness is held not by the air but by the contents, and those contents won't warm up significantly in the time it takes you to decide between the leftover pizza and last night's meatloaf.
Obviously, leaving the door open all the time would waste energy, because your refrigerator would never stop running, Blasnik said. But closing the refrigerator door quickly will save you a dollar's worth of power a year at most, his research shows.
Instead of policing your teenager's refrigerator habits, he suggested changing a behavior that really does waste electricity and money: putting food into the fridge while it's still hot.
You could open the refrigerator door hundreds of times before you'd waste the energy you do by putting a pot of hot soup into the refrigerator, he said.
Cleaning refrigerator coils
Dirty coils, the reasoning goes, make your refrigerator work harder. Cleaning them may have been good energy-saving advice back when refrigerators gobbled electricity, but Blasnik said that's no longer true.
Most refrigerators built in the last 15 years use far less power than older models. So say your fridge uses $70 in electricity in a year. Cleaning your coils might make the refrigerator operate 10 percent more efficiently, but that's an annual saving of just $7, he said.
Now, if you have an older fridge and a house full of cats, cleaning the coils may well pay off, he said. Certainly cleaning them makes sense if you want your refrigerator to last longer or you just want to keep your kitchen clean.
"I wouldn't say, 'Don't clean your coils,' " Blasnik said. But don't expect to see a big difference in your electricity bill.
Changing the furnace filter monthly
The main reason furnaces have filters is to keep dirt in the air from fouling up the furnace. But at least in the case of inexpensive, standard furnace filters, they do a better job of filtering the air when they're a little dirty, Blasnik said.
For high-efficiency filters that trap allergens, he'd follow the directions on the filter. And he says that it's important to start air conditioning season with a clean filter because air conditioners need adequate air flow. But otherwise, he thinks changing the furnace filter once a season is enough.
That doesn't mean you never have to change the filter. A filter that becomes clogged with dirt will restrict air flow, and that will make your furnace run less efficiently, Blasnik said.
Unplugging cell phone chargers
You've probably heard about vampire power, which is the standby electricity that's used even when devices are turned off or aren't actively operating. That was a problem five or 10 years ago and still is with some devices, Blasnik said, but in many cases manufacturers have greatly reduced that power use.
That's the case with cell phone chargers.
Blasnik said today's chargers use an unmeasurably small amount of electricity when they're not charging phones – "in the cents per year," he said. So leaving yours plugged in when it's not in use won't break your energy budget.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures will enter new territory this summer as the game will serve to bridge the gap between Seasons 3 and 4 with the introduction of a new update dubbed "Campaign for Iceberg 3" which has gone live today. We recently sat down with SOE's Todd Carlson and Justin Dazet, along with Star Wars: The Clone Wars director Dave Filoni to discuss the new update.

I may have found the perfect hamburger.
After hearing so many tweets from 5chw4r7z about how amazing and wonderful McDonald's Big and Tasty is (usually three times a week, Bob is nothing if not a devotee), how perfect a hamburger it is, how nothing (not Terry's Turf Club, not Gordo's, not Zip's) can compare, I decided to try it. It's essentially built to compare with the Burger King Whopper: 1/4 pound of hamburger (which McDonald's now advertises to be 100% beef! What was it before?), a sesame seed bun, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped (fresh!) onions, two pickle slices, and grill seasoning.
It is a gift from God.
Actually, no, it's a gift from Chuck Norris.
Because the only reason God rested on the seventh day was because Chuck Norris let him.
Delicious, processed patty. Pale, limp tomato. A swath of mayonnaise and ketchup. A couple of limp pickle slices. A LOT of pepper.
Obviously, the perfect burger. I'm not entirely sure why I would pay more than $2.86 for a burger, now that I know about the Big 'n Tasty. You wonder what my favorite burger in Cincinnati is? Wonder no more!
Look at its beautiful packaging.
Look at its perfectly symmetrical bun, studded with beautiful sesame seeds.
Look at the toppings, just aching to escape the bun!
Chuck Norris approves (look, he's about to take a bite of one now!).
(I mean, after all, Chuck Norris was the original Big 'n Tasty. Yeah, I went there.)
Look no further: Like the guy who ate the Big Macs daily from Super Size Me, I may have to join the ranks of McDonald's worshippers. Jean-Robert, make a burger that can compare with this!
(Check the date, folks. And much love to Bob, the inspiration for this post. 🙂 )
Love this Julie!!!! Take that Bob! 🙂
That is awesome Julie.
Although as usual I never know if you are complimenting or insulting me.
Thanks for a good laugh.
Happy April 1.
You are so clever – what a fun 04/01 post… for a minute, I thought we were going to have to commit you 🙂
Shew, I saw this title in my reader and was sure you'd had some head trauma.
Happy April's Fool!
Wow, I almost dropped this page off my bookmarks list faster than McD's drops the fry basket. Then I remembered what a great day it is! Nice Job 🙂
Genius! Seriously.
So. Incredibly. Awesome.
That's some delicious snark Julie! Chuck Norris is a major wingnut lunatic, btw, black helicopters and all.
Yea. About that…
My initial response? "This post did not happen."
Thanks alot – your answer solved all my problems after several days srgtugilng
Wow – I nearly had a heart attack after reading the title of this post in my reader! Great joke, Julie, and excellent Chuck Norris references as well.
Why can McDonald's never find a way to put tomato on a burger without it becoming a disgusting slice of gelatinous ooze?
loved this, as i'm sure chuck norris did.
Yikes. You might want to include a disclaimer for those of us who read this when it is not April Fool's Day, or those people who visit for the first time…

Expected SAN/HBA bandwidth values - will 8Gb/s per SAN/HBA port be enough??
Nov 20, 2012 7:14 PM
Hello All,
We have 27 instances to be clustered on 2-node Extended RAC (Inter-DC distance is 60 km on DWDM) clusters. There are 6-8 RAC instances per BL460 G8 Blade used as RAC nodes. Storage is ASM (Grid 18.104.22.168) and on HP P9500 SAN. Each Data-Center will have 5 c7000 enclosures hosted each having 12-16 BL460 Gen 8 blades(also 4+4 BL680 G7 blades). Each Blade will have 2 SAN ports in Mezzanine slot-1, each having 8Gb/s (Giga-Bit) total i.e. 4Gb (Primary) and 4Gb(Secondary).
Per standard Extended RAC configuration, there will be Production Network, RAC Interconnect (Cache Fusion) networks and the SAN networks routed through VLANs through the Chassis Backplane into the SAN FC Switches. Flex-10 fabric will be used. The database sizes hosted range from 200 GB to 18TB. Blades having 7-8 RAC instances each will host smaller databases from 300-700 GB. All disk allocation is in HP SAN P9500 Storage and the blades are bare-metal (with O/S and Oracle 11gR2 RAC software only) and without local storage (Disks). Boot from SAN will be used.
So, will 8Gb/s bandwidth capacity on each HBA/SAN port (in Mezzanine Slot 1) – be enough to route and handle I/O of the multiple 6-7 SAP Instances and OLTP/DSS application databases?? I understand of course this depends on the type of the applications, their acceptable IO throughputs/SLAs etc. To my knowledge, in most of standard enterprise Blade-System c7000 enclosure deployments 8Gb/s is standard? I understand this needs definitely to be tested for sure(and we are planning to do acceptance/stress testing too). But I am looking for empirical numbers to do sizing.
Please can you let me know your thoughts/inputs.. for any empirical sizing numbers..
Need to confirm back to Blade deployment team soon..
Many Thanks & Regards,
I have the same question

Education Secretary Arne DuncanArne DuncanEducation's DeVos, unions need to find way to bridge divide and work together Ex-Education head: Trump transgender rollback 'thoughtless, cruel' What DeVos needs now is a great public school education MORE told Congress on Wednesday that 82 percent of the nation's public schools could be failing by next year under the standards of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law.
The projection amounts to a startling spike from current data, which shows that 37 percent of schools are on track to miss targets set by the law.
"Four out of five schools in America would not meet their goals under [No Child Left Behind] by next year," Duncan said in his opening statement. "This is why we have to fix the law now. Nobody can support inaction and maintain the status quo."
The law was enacted in 2002 after a bipartisan effort led by, among others, the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerHouse markup of ObamaCare repeal bill up in the air Conservatives to Congress: Get moving Boehner: ObamaCare repeal and replace 'not going to happen' MORE (R-Ohio), who was then chairman of the Education and Workforce Committee. Schools that don't meet targets face sanctions, including possible closure.
President Obama is pushing for an overhaul of the law's standards and mandates, which he has criticized for imposing an unworkable "one-size-fits-all" requirement on schools nationwide. As a result, Duncan argued, schools and educators that have made vast improvements but still fall below the law's standards are unfairly punished.
At the core of the administration's proposal, Duncan said, is more flexibility for states and local districts to meet standards by tailoring "solutions to the unique needs of their students."
"This law is fundamentally broken, and we need to fix it, and we need to fix it this year," Duncan said. "It has created a thousand ways for schools to fail and very few ways to help them succeed. We want to get out of the business of labeling schools as failures and create a new law that is fair, flexible and focused on the schools and students most at risk."
As education secretary, Duncan enjoys rare bipartisan support from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress, but in an indication of the divide on No Child Left Behind, Republican leaders on the committee made virtually no comment on his push for quick action.
Chairman John Kline (R-Minn.) focused his comments and questions on broader spending issues, and a spokesman for the committee, Brian Newell, said afterward that Kline has not set a timetable for addressing No Child Left Behind. "He recognizes the urgent need to get something done," Newell said.
Duncan pushed for the law to be rewritten by the beginning of the next school year, which means Congress would have to approve a bill by the August recess. In the Senate, Chairman Tom HarkinTom HarkinGrassley challenger no stranger to defying odds Clinton ally stands between Sanders and chairmanship dream Do candidates care about our health or just how much it costs? MORE (Iowa) of the education committee has said he wants to introduce legislation by Easter.

text: A while ago (r4453, early May), Vikram Garg and I added the patch_reuse option to PatchRecoveryErrorEstimator, which tells the estimator to use the same patch to generate error estimates for every element within it, rather than generating a new patch and new postprocessed patch solution for each element. We made this option default to true and didn't bother advertising the change because it runs an order of magnitude faster, it is supposed to have the same asymptotic effectivity behavior (up to a constant), and it gave nearly identical adaptivity performance in our tests. However, it turns out that that constant matters, and the new default PREE gives visibly inferior adaptivity performance in my tests using a different application with a more complex and fragile formulation. So a very belated heads-up: anyone using patch recovery (or adjoint residual, which by default depends on patch recovery) error estimates might want to explore both sides of the reuse option. --- Roy

Familiar flowers
APPLAUSE TO all the wonderful folks who have such beautiful roses, peonies, iris beds and other oldie-but-goody flower varieties in their yards. What a treat to see these lovely sights. In this day of strips malls and less and less green space, it is a wonderful way to keep our hometowns beautiful. To all of you who are planning your gardens, consider adding the above in your plan. And don't forget to add them in your front yards where everyone can enjoy them. And, last but not least, remember to stop and smell the roses.
Don't involve Jackson
THE WHOLE nickname issue at Southeast Missouri State University is a very interesting debate. There are many sides to it, none of which have anything to do with Jackson High School. Please do not ever compare the Jackson mascot to Southeast. I would hope the university would never go back to insulting Native American culture by dressing a mascot to dance on the field. The current debate is about Southeast. Let's keep it that way.
Mixing cultures
I HAVE read many comments about why Southeast Missouri State University should not retire the Indian nickname. One is because the Chiefs and the Redskins are not going to change, so why should the university? How about because Southeast is an institution that is supposed to educate individuals, not promote stereotypes? "Indians" is a generic term that lumps together a multitude of different Native American cultures and traditions. This is wrong, and an institution if higher learning should not be involved in this practice. Change the nickname.
Looking for tradition
I AM tired of the few Southeast Missouri State University alumni who are claiming that by changing the university nickname we would be "taking away" tradition. They should be glad that they got to experience tradition, because right now there isn't any left. The Indians and Otahkians are not used; therefore, there is no tradition anymore. There's nothing to take away, only something to give to the current and future students.
Finishing the bridge
MY FATHER is one of the workers on the Diversion Channel bridge. Do you all think construction workers are trying to take as long as they can to build the bridge? No. They want to get it done. Those workers are doing all they can to finish the bridge as fast as possible. The workers have a job to do just like the rest of us. I think they are doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work, guys.
No perfect world
THIS COMMENT is addressed to the person disgusted with the media. It's not a perfect world where people get a get-out-of-dying-free card. It's not a perfect world where honest people live. So what if it so happens to be Iraqi prisoners who are being mistreated? So what if the soldiers violated the Geneva Conventions that state torture of prisoners is against international law? There is a point behind the coverage to expose those willing to commit heinous acts against humanity. And using the blameless "I was just following orders" is wrong.
No hidden agenda
IF I walk my dogs after dark it is out of consideration for others who might not share my love for animals. I think there are some paranoid people in this world who have no clue. Everyone is out to get them. My dogs take care of business in their own back yard. There is no hidden agenda except for exercise.
Now the consequences
HOW ABSOLUTELY unfortunate that the U.S. soldiers involved themselves in abuses of Iraqi prisoners. They and their superiors have single-handedly caused permanent damage to the United States' global credibility. They, their superiors and those who did not heed the previously submitted report of abuses in Iraq, are 100 percent responsible for the death of the man who was beheaded yesterday and for further retaliatory abuses to come from the Iraqis. Their foolish, deplorable, actions have had grave consequences.
SINCE SOUTHEAST Missouri State University wants a more marketable mascot, it should be held accountable. Taxpayers and alumni should see the results of those marketing efforts. I think the best marketing tool you can have is winning teams. Then the money will come in and the mascot really won't matter that much. It's always about the money.
We're not thugs
IT IS true that American abuse of Iraqi detainees, as far as we know, pales in comparison to atrocities committed against us. The inhuman beheading of an American makes the case. However, the argument provides very cold comfort. We hold ourselves up to the world as a model of humanitarian treatment of detainees and prisoners, not as being relatively less thuggish.
Shooting at invaders
WHY ARE people surprised that Iraqis are shooting at our troops and blowing them up? We're the ones who invaded and occupied their country. I'd be doing the same thing if another country invaded and occupied us. If you don't want Iraqis shooting at and blowing up our troops, then get our troops out of Iraq and back home where they can do what they are supposed to do, namely defending America.
Limbaugh's truth
IN DEFENSE of David Limbaugh, he has spent so much time trying to convince others of the exclusive truth of Christianity, he has convinced himself.
Red is the color
SINCE THE the university wants to pick a mascot theme that will also allow us to continue to use the present school colors, be a icon of our region, and appeal to our "fighting" spirit, I suggest we use the one creature that appears in no danger of extinction in Southeast Missouri. Please welcome the Southeast Rednecks.
Thimerosal legislation
THIS LEGISLATION is so important for our children. Parents everywhere urge you, Senator Kinder, to please move on this before it is too late. I have a 2 1/2-year-old on the autism spectrum. My son had the measles mumps and rubella shot and broke out with a fever of 103 and a rash from head to toe. My son had a 20-word vocabulary that instantly stopped two days after the reaction to the MMR shot. We need to stop this madness. Why would we believe that anyone, especially children, could endure shots with mercury/thimerosal in them? Think of our future.
Likes dresses
I WANT to thank the Southeast Missourian for running the prom pictures online again this year. I enjoy seeing all the dresses.
Shame on Bush
SHAME ON President Bush for not taking charge of the Iraqi prison situation earlier. This president has no curiosity. All he does is trust his advisers without holding them accountable. He's a puppet for Cheney as anyone who isn't hopelessly brainwashed by Republican zealotry can see.
Who's the enemy?
CAN THE contrast be any more stark? Americans are in an uproar, God bless us, because some of our troops humiliated Iraqi prisoners who were being kept in the high-security area of a prison. Meanwhile, there is little reaction from the Arab world when an innocent American businessman has his head sawed off in front of the cameras by people who say they represent the alternative to American-installed democracy. I hope we Americans never change. There should be an uproar about how these troops disgraced America. But we should also be clear about who the enemy is. It is not Donald Rumsfeld.
Appalled by Speak Out
I AM appalled at some of the Speak Out comments about the prison abuse. We started the war in Iraq because of atrocities that were going on over there, and we thought as a nation we could help innocent people over there have a better life. But if we are going over there and abusing prisoners, and some of you think this is right, what kind of people does that make us? Aren't we just as inhumane and cruel as their previous leader was? I understand this is war, but I also would like to think we as enlightened human beings were beyond cruelty and inhumane treatment of another human being no matter what the situation.
Watching for speeders
THE SCOTT County or Cape Girardeau County sheriff's departments need to watch the county road that runs between County Road 204 and Nash Road. No matter the time of day, drivers consistently run the stop signs and do not yield to oncoming traffic. The speed limit is not posted, and the drivers take advantage of it.
In praise of mud
I LIVE out of state, but I'm originally from Jackson. I just found out that the Jackson Fourth of July mud volleyball tournament was canceled this year. I can't believe it. The Jackson Fourth of July celebration -- mainly the mud volleyball tournament -- brought the whole community together. It's what I immediately think of when someone mentions a Fourth of July celebration. I annually drove up from out of state for it. I really think the turnout is going to be sad this year. The car show will not pull in the same crowd. A true disappointment.
Where is outrage?
THE U.S. Senate viewed the unreleased photos of the Iraq prisoners being abused and promptly ran to the media crying about how disgusting and terrible they were. Where is all this outrage when Americans are shown on Islamic TV and Web sites being beheaded or having their burnt bodies hung from bridges? I guess a picture of a naked Iraqi is more disgusting than a videotape showing an American being beheaded or our people's bodies being hung from bridges. I think the Iraqi prisoners should have gotten a whole lot more than they did.
Provoking violence
THE AMERICAN soldiers who abused the Iraqi prisoners are the present reason and future reason that American soldiers are being killed over there everyday. How can they do such things? And who would be stupid enough to videotape it and take pictures. They just set our country up for further violence!
Lack of understanding
IF DAVID Limbaugh really believes the only thing standing in the way of bringing democracy to Iraq is the terrorist threat, then he has a terrible lack of understanding or knowledge of the history of this beleaguered artificial construct of a country we call Iraq.
Mercenaries, not soldiers
JUST TO correct one of many erroneous speaks outs, the people dragged behind the truck in Iraq were mercenaries -- not U.S. soldiers.
Tit for tat
IF IRAQI leader Saddam Hussein was responsible for the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib when he was in power in Iraq, Bush-Cheney are responsible now.
Betting on fire department
I WONDER if the caller who called the fire department "ambulance chasers" has ever watched his or her home burn to the ground? I wonder if this same caller has ever been mugged, raped, battered or robbed? I bet the answer to both of these questions is no. But I would bet my last dollar that this same person would rely on both the fire and police departments if any of these things happened.
There's still funnel cakes
WHAT A terrible lineup for the SEMO fair. LeRoy Van Dyke, Sammy Kershaw, David Frizell, Jimmy Fortune, Rex Allen Jr., and 3 Dog Night? This line up is worse than the opening act at a riverboat casino. Something for everyone? Sammy Kershaw and 3 Dog Night are the only names familiar to those under the age of 65, and who really cares about either one. Good luck meeting your 100,000 people in attendance goal. Believe me, those who go to the fair will be there for the livestock and the funnel cakes, not the entertainment.
What Jesus said
TO ALL of those who feel that the Iraqi prisoners were not abused and we have the right to do what was done: Jesus said "You have heard it said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you, love one another even as I have loved you". Anyone can pray for a friend. It takes a disciple to pray for an enemy.
City propaganda
I JUST opened my city water bill and received that fine piece of propaganda the city saw fit to include with the bill. I couldn't help but literally laugh out loud and then become angered. The city spent the money that it tells us it doesn't have for thousands of pieces of literature. If the city can spend money on this garbage, they do not need a tax increase. I had already decided I was voting no. Now my mind is absolutely made up.
Schools' song and dance
I READ that the school systems are getting more tax money than they had been promised. But now the educators are still saying it's not enough. I for one am sick and tired of their song and dance. I suggest they cut some of the "fat" from the budgets, tighten their belts as we taxpayers do and start educating our children.
I am a current student at Southeast and I was at the Indian nickname forum on wed. At the forum a southeast alum got up and spoke on behalf of the Indian mascot. He told a emotional story of his experiences on campus when Southeast had a mascot. Until that night, I hadn't realized just what I was missing. I wish that I felt the same way as this alum does about Southeast. It is unfair that students today do not have the same experience that alums had. We need a new nickname so we can develop a mascot that will evoke those same emotions. If Southeast gets a new nickname, we won't be taking away any tradition that isn't already gone. Instead, we would be giving something back to students that has been missing for a long time.

Investigations were under way today after 18 people survived when a helicopter ditched into the water near a North Sea platform.
All passengers and crew on board the Super Puma helicopter were rescued after it plunged into the sea around 125 miles east of Aberdeen while on the way to a BP production platform last night.
Three were flown to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with minor injuries and were later discharged.
The remaining 15 were shipped into Aberdeen Harbour early today and were said to be "in good spirits".
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch launched an investigation into what went wrong, sending nine people to the city today.
Grampian Police also said it would be investigating the circumstances of the incident along with other agencies.
Officers spent around an hour on board the Caledonia Victory with the survivors while it was berthed at Aberdeen Harbour today.
They were taken from the harbour by bus at around 8am.
The offshore union RMT said it would be "monitoring closely" the accident investigation to pinpoint the cause of the crash.
The union's offshore organiser, Jake Molloy, said: "We will be looking very closely at the accident investigation."
The company said it was assisting Bond - who owned the stricken helicopter - with the support of Technip, in the recovery of the helicopter using the Wellservicer vessel.
BP's North Sea managing director Bernard Looney said now that those on board were being returned to their families, the company's attention would turn to the cause of the crash.
He said: "We will be co-operating fully with the Air Accident Investigation Bureau, Bond Helicopters and local agencies as they work to establish the cause of the incident.
"Our safety and emergency response systems worked well and our thanks go to the UK Coastguard, RAF Kinloss and Grampian Police who provided tremendous support to BP."
