Abstract
This paper examines why the British came to refer to the Second World War as the "People's War." It looks at how, for the very first time during a war, civilians were involved on a scale hitherto unknown. It shows how the relentless bombing of British cities by the Luftwaffe ensured that thousands of people experienced the devastating effects of war at firsthand, as entire families lost all their worldly goods, parents lost their children to German bombs and many children were orphaned. It illustrates how men and women from every generation, as well as children took an active role in helping the war effort in active roles such as volunteer services, the Home Guard and the special female sections of the services that were set up, such as the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service), the "WRENs" (Women's Royal Naval Service) and the "WAAF" (Women's Auxiliary Air force).

From the Paper
"Some actions towards the war effort were of course imposed on people by the government. Rationing is one example of this, as is the commissioning of pots and pans and iron railings to go towards the building of fighter planes. Also compulsory was the evacuation program of city children to quieter and more rural areas, deemed safer than the industrial areas of their homes. Families in the countryside suddenly found themselves invaded by a small army of dirty, rude, bed-wetting children, who were intensely homesick being away from home for the first time at such a young age, and entirely ignorant of country life. Many of them had never even seen grass before."

Abstract
The paper looks at the service of women in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and the Volunteer Emergency Service, or WAVES, in the Navy. The paper then discusses female Soviet snipers, and how women contributed their valuable energy in three main ways: they took the jobs left by the draft, they helped as farm women and housewives and they worked in the heavy industry. The paper also relates that women joined black bands, cooked meals with limited food, were members of the Navy League and were hired to function as computers.

Outline:
The Women's Auxiliary Corps
Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service
Soviet Snipers
Soldiers in Housedresses
Musicians
Navy League Women
Home Front Warriors
Women Computers

From the Paper
"The role of women changed in the 20th century without precedence in history. The change began with events during World War II, which altered and even reversed women's social servility and traditional role. Women's rights reached a peak during this time, especially with the formation of the first female military units. Among these was the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, later renamed into the Women's Army Corps. The realities of war exact no less than total commitment of governments and individuals. Things are not normal at war time. A nation's resources have to be pledged in order to gain victory. These resources include women who otherwise are not active part of the war. D'Ann Campbell emphasized that every man, woman and child must be involved in the overall plan, organization and administration of the war effort."

Abstract
This paper asks and attempts to answer the question, "how does a blind person begin a career in music?" It addresses this question by reviewing and explaining music Braille as opposed to literary Braille and its auxiliary technologies, by citing several resources available that offer Braille music or offer information and referral services for visually impaired students who wish to study music, and by explaining some of the technology available to assist blind students in their music studies.

From the Paper
"The first names that come to mind when one thinks of successful blind musical luminaries, are likely to be: Ray Charles, Ronnie Milsap, Teddy Pendergrass, Jose Feliciano, and of course, Stevie Wonder, among others. And in the jazz and blues genre, there are a number of blind artists, such as George Shearing, Roland Kirk, and Rev. Gary Davis, to name a few. And, meantime, for the blind person who is not already competent at the task of performing or writing music, and who respects those famous blind musicians mentioned above "and even views them as role models" how does that blind person begin a career in music? How does a novice learn?"

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares the views on politics that are expressed in Plato's "Republic" and Aristotle's "Politics," favoring Aristotle's ideas over Plato's. The writer describes Plato's ideal city state, which has three classes, guardian, auxiliary, and the tradesmen, where the guardians are the ones whose opinions matter. No movement is allowed between classes and everyone's place is set so that competition does not exist. This does not take into consideration the opinions and wisdom of the individual. The writer explains that Aristotle, although a student of Plato with many similar ideas, argues that this conception of a state is not natural. A state should have a ruling class, but they must not exceed the middle class whose opinions do matter. The writer explains that since human beings are extremely competitive by nature, Aristotle's view on equilibrium and stability in government makes for a realistic state. The writer points out that Plato believed in the equality of women, which was not approved by Aristotle, and expresses the opinion that if Aristotle had combined a few more of Plato's ideas with his own, his state would have been the most factual and valid.

From the Paper
"Plato's ideas in the Republic defer greatly from the ideas of Aristotle in his writings in Politics. The Republic is the first work that deserves to be called political science, in that it applies systematic reasoning and critical inquiry to political ideas and institutions (Ebenstein 2). Plato's main character in the Republic is his teacher, Socrates. Plato embodies ideas that Socrates had and also his own ideas of what government should be like. Many of the ideas of the Republic may be considered undemocratic, or out right antidemocratic, but this writing is the first glimpse into the basic fundaments of government."

Abstract
This paper begins with Plato's biography. It examines how the privileges of class and education may have affected his views regarding the various social roles he assigned. It also studies his relationship with the great philosopher, Socrates, to whom Plato owes a great intellectual debt. The paper then focuses on "The Republic" itself. This section is divided into four parts. First, there is a discussion of the Socratic style that Plato used to write the "Republic". Second is a discussion of the Plato's concept of the tripartite soul. Based on this, the paper then details the various roles Plato prescribed for various souls, guardians, auxiliary/military staff, and the producers. The last part of this section is a discussion of Plato's concepts of political justice and happiness and his view of the human condition. Next, the paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Plato's formulation and explores how Plato's thought continues to have political relevance today.

From the Paper
"For Plato, ensuring that the guardians rule wisely and the other classes do their tasks will facilitate the smooth function of the social organism. When all aspects of society function as one, there will be harmony. This harmony begets the reign of political justice, resulting in a state that is free from war or civil disorder. Only in such a society can human happiness be possible, as the alternative is chaos."

Abstract
This paper looks at fire codes in America and specifically at Chicago's fire code. The paper first outlines how recent events have sparked new pieces of legislation geared towards protecting the occupants of commercial high rises. The paper also explains the dangers inherent in high rises not having a sophisticated sprinkler system. In addition, the paper examines auxiliary legislation that aids property owners to keep up-to-date with the new requirements.

From the Paper
"The building codes for commercial high rises finally appear to be catching up to the dangers that high rise fires present - both to the occupants and to the general public within the vicinity of these blazes. For instance, thanks in part to the relentless efforts of the National Fire Protection Association, there is a growing realization that having sprinklers installed in high rise facilities greatly reduces the likelihood of loss of life while diminishing the total loss of property. Further, ordinances and building sprinkler requirements in both the United States and Canada have led to a dramatic increase in the number of sprinklers sold throughout North America."

Abstract
This paper examines the SALT Treaty process of 1972 through a case study structure, and analyzes the contending approaches; fundamental, marginal, and auxiliary arguments; and the results of SALT. The author concludes that SALT was beneficial in the long-term, for despite its flaws, it began a process of arms negotiations that culminated in significant arms reductions.

Abstract
This paper looks at all the auxiliary players in the Watergate Crisis, showing that President Nixon did not act alone but had the involvement of many other officials. The writer examines how this effected credibility of the many organizations and authorities connected to the White House.

From the Paper
"The Watergate scandal began with some confidential papers, bungling burglars, a preeminent hotel complex in Washington, D.C., and a trail of fraud leading directly to the Committee to Re-Elect President Richard M. Nixon. The scandal didn't stop at inept White House staffers, but went all the way to the Oval Office and the president himself. Watergate was the ultimate political crisis brought about by one man's ruthlessness and paranoia. In the end, Richard M. Nixon's own worst enemy was himself."

Abstract
The following paper examines the way in which the Universal Decimal Classification introduces the idea of auxiliary connections and discusses the way in which this system works by dividing the whole field of knowledge into 10 main classes. The writer discusses the success of the Universal Decimal Classification which is based on it's use of decimal notation.

From the Paper
"The Universal Decimal Classification has a feature called the synthetic principle. This works by allocating a consistent notation to recurrent series of concepts that are arranged in consistent orders. For example in class 4 which is to do with philology the order of sub-classes and the notation representing them is the same for each language. For example 425 for English grammar, 435 for German grammar, etc.). The geographical location of countries is also consistent. For example British history could be 942, so German history would be 943; and 328.42 is British legislation, with German legislation being 328.43.
The synthetic principle allows for over 200 different languages to share the same in depth coverage that English usually exclusively enjoys. This principle also allows for great increases in the range of subdivision with no printing costs."

Abstract
This paper addresses the importance of the American woman's role in World War II. The image of the "little woman" took a direct hit in World War II. Whether braving the bombs and rationing on the home front, or serving as nurses, pilots, Congresswomen, auxiliary personnel or myriad other positions, women were vital to the war effort in ways they had never been before. The fight for equal wages, and equal rights with men, which is still going on today, began in many ways during the Second World War.
