The Electoral College and Conflict in American History and Politics

The historical relationship between the electoral college and controversial U.S. presidential elections, specifically with respect to conflict, is examined. The elections of 1800, 1824, 1860, 1876, 1888, 1968, and 2000 are examined. Aside from the 2000 election, there has been essentially no conflict in American history due to the electoral college. The constitutional structure and thinking behind the form of the electoral college is given, with emphasis on the federal aspects of the structure. The current movement to abolish the electoral college in favor of direct popular vote is depicted, along with the arguments against making that change. The conclusion is that we as a nation are far better off to retain the status quo than to make the called-for change.     

A review of the epidentiological research on child sexual abuse. Community and college student samples

This article is the first of two consecutive reviews on the major empirical studies which have been carried out in an attempt to estimate the prevalence of child sexual abuse among females. The research is structured in terms of three sample categories: (a) probability and non-probability samples of the general population; (b) college student samples; and (c) clinical inpatient and outpatient samples. This part of the review deals with (a) and (b) and highlights a number of unresolved methodological issues which may contribute to the variance in reported prevalence rates. These include a myriad of definitions of child sexual abuse and different methods of eliciting information on possible histories of abuse. Despite these problems. taken as a whole the prevalence studies indicate the significant numbers of people who have experienced abuse and who are willing to disclose aspects of these abusive experiences.

大学生权利保障：权力和权利辨析的视角

当下大学生的权利被广泛关注，但是大学生的权利却往往不能得到很好的保障和维护，其中一个重要原因就是大学生缺乏一个强有力的权力保障。在我国高等教育的现实中，大学生在学校管理中的权力却微乎其微。权利必须用权力来维护和保障。由此，应正视权利和权力的本质区别；在学校管理中赋予大学生合法的地位和身份，给予其参与管理学校的权力；组建大学生自治组织，用相对独立的权力维护其权利，从而加强大学生在学校管理中的权力来使大学生权利得到根本性的保障和维护。
