Abstract
This paper examines how in her article, "The Naked Citadel", Susan Faludi describes the intense and negative reaction of Citadel cadets to the enrollment of women in the institution. It looks at how it is through the presence of women at the Citadel that the men of the institution have an opportunity to begin to understand that the Citadel has provided them with an environment free of many of the larger society's expectations of masculinity. It discusses how the presence of women in the Citadel reveals that the cadets' reactions against women in the institution are not necessarily sparked only by misogynistic attitudes, but how this rejection of women is sparked by a very real desire for these young cadets to be free of the influences and restrictions placed on them by the larger society, which has a narrow and rigid understanding of masculinity.

From the Paper
"The women of the Citadel have a great deal to teach the men of the Citadel. The presence of women at the Citadel can be a catalyst that forces the men at the Citadel to examine their institution, and their attitudes toward masculinity. Ultimately, the presence of women may provide these men with a forced opportunity to examine their understanding of masculinity. In this sense, the women at the Citadel provide the men in the same institution with an perhaps unwelcome opportunity to examine their role in society, and potentially make changes in their attitudes and behaviors."

Abstract
This paper explores the recruitment for officers for the New York Police Department.

From the Paper
"Following is my description of a party that was held for an eighteen year old girl who signed a four year contract with the Army. First is my depiction of the event and following is my analysis. Oregon, Ohio was included as a city on December 23, 1959. Currently, the approximate population is 20,000. Somewhere in this farmland exists a house inhabited by a family known as the Jaquillards. The small ranch blends in with the neighborhood and could not be distinguished by anyone unfamiliar to the family. It consists of one and a half bathrooms, four bedrooms, a kitchen, family room, living room and dining room. Outside is a driveway wide enough for two cars and long enough for four. A basketball hoop stands on the left, out of the way....."

Abstract
This paper discusses and examines the poem, "Naming of Parts," written by Henry Reid. The paper discusses the content and structure of the poem and analyzes it stanza by stanza. In particular, the paper shows how, by the use of imagery and contrasting tones, the point is made that recruits and cadets are deprived of freedom, openness to creativity and the beauties of life during their extensive training.

From the Paper
"The third stanza further characterizes the speakers, and introduces a sexual undertone. The officer in this stanza only makes himself seem more like a traditional superior. He gives a warning to the cadets, which the cadet turns into a sexual image. The cadet's thoughts in this stanza are focused on the blossoms. He sees them as perfect, and envies them, for they have freedom, and live without warnings or restrictions. The sexual image begins in this stanza. The blossom, or flower, has sexual connotations of a woman, as does a finger, a general sexual reference. These two things along with the title itself, which refers to both the gun and the human body, clearly create a sexual undertone."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the college's parking enforcement policies are not equally applied among college faculty and staff and its cadets. The paper reveals that the cadets bear the brunt of the expenses related to the parking services but receive a high percentage less of the services. The paper presents the recommendation that cadets should also have an option to select a less expensive parking permit package just as the faculty has the option. Additionally, the paper suggests that the application of parking violation fines should be the same whether an infraction occurs in the faculty parking or not.

From the Paper
"Affirmative action. Only a few public policy issues, namely abortion and capital punishment, can evoke such strong opinions as affirmative action. Some say that it is an outdated policy that is no longer needed while other claim that affirmative action is needed now more than ever. Some claim that affirmative action is grounded in the constitution while others claim that the whole concept of affirmative action is unconstitutional. Today, affirmative action policies are under attack. Universities are under fire for using race as a component in admission processes as are private companies making hiring decisions based on race. Every day in the news seems to bring more news of affirmative action. How then is a company or a local government to handle this policy? Some have taken the steps of reaffirming affirmative action, private schools claiming that they will continue the policy even if the courts make it illegal for public schools to do so. Companies, striving to be as community-friendly as possible saying that they will continue to be blind in their hiring process, while other institutions and local governments have gotten rid of affirmative action altogether."

Abstract
In this paper, the Napoleonic military uniform is examined as a major influence on the modern day U.S. Marine Corps "dress blue" uniform. The history of this influence can be traced back to the uniforms worn by Marine West Point Cadets through the inspiration of the popular Wars of Napoleon that sought to emulate the republican values of the United States. The writer maintains that in this tradition, it became paramount for the United States Marine Corps. to incorporate the colors and button style of this uniform, redefining the "costume" aspect of the Napoleonic variety that still has functionality in modern times.

Abstract
The paper posits that a teacher recruiting agency can make the task of hiring teachers much easier. The paper looks at the Teach for America program and discusses how although its near-exhaustive vetting process makes it an ideal source for recruiting teachers, there are also some real issues with using this agency to hire teachers. The paper looks at other teacher cadet programs and concludes that while the use of a teacher recruiting agency does not eliminate the immense workload required in hiring teachers, using an agency is a good way to start with a pool of pre-qualified candidates.

From the Paper
"Teaching recruitment agencies and organizations can do a lot of the coordinating, sparing districts and administrators much of the headache of finding the right teacher for the job. In addition, though they do not by any stretch of the imagination solve the issue of the teacher shortage, they do aid those responsible for hiring teachers by helping to consolidate the pool of qualified applicants. At times this may seem to serve little purpose other then to re-emphasize the lack of available teachers, for certain subjects especially but truly across the board, but in less cynical moments it can be seen to be remarkably beneficial to use a teaching recruiting agency for hiring simply because a pool of candidates known to be qualified--and
often with experience--will be available to choose from. This is the major bonus of many teacher recruiting programs; the level of understanding and commitment these individuals have is not an unknown."

"But the CAP wasn't only offering help through the air; volunteer CAP teams went "door-to-door through demolished neighborhoods to find trapped victims," the AFPN report explained. When the initially search and recovery efforts were finished, the CAP volunteers had surveyed 4,266 homes and made 8,524 contacts with people affected by the hurricane. The CAP volunteers had flown 1,848 hours over the widespread area affected by the storm, and had contributed over 35,495 hours of hands-on assistance to the effort."

From the Paper
"The problem or controversy of including women in combat units have been debated and discussed for over half a century. While the debates were on, the US military did induct women into combat order. When the subject was discussed in the 1980's and 1990s many academics and writers expressed opinions for and against the proposal. In 1985 for example there was a hot debate in the public policy arena and in social scientific writing; the issue is still alive and undecided. Despite the current combat exclusion policy, there are women in jobs in the U.S. military that will place them in combat should war break out where they are stationed or where their units are planned to be deployed."
