Entretanto, o papel que essa entidade desempenhou em nome do movimento universitário nesses cenários não pode ser entendido como expressões militantes de um movimento suspenso ou desconexo das disputas em torno de determinadas demandas, homogêneo, destituído de cisões, disputas e predominâncias políticas e ideológicas que grupos, organizações e partidos exerceram um sobre outros no seu interior e no conjunto das suas relações. Assim, é possível identificar a atuação de diferentes forças políticas na UNE e movimento universitário, forças essas que intervieram de modo organizado em defesa de suas crenças e repertórios. Dentre essas, destacam-se os jovens comunistas, os udenistas, socialistas, católicos e anticomunistas radicais, grupos, organizações e partidos que contribuíram ou se opuseram aos repertórios predominantes na atuação da UNE. A partir dessas identificações, o objetivo do presente estudo é analisar a atuação da União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE) entre os anos de 1945 e de 1964, com ênfase nas forças políticas que atuaram no interior do movimento universitário e que disputaram espaços para que pudessem se expressar por meio das entidades estudantis, o que em última instância se considerou como maneiras de legitimar práticas e crenças expressas nos repertórios sugeridos ao conjunto do movimento / In different periods, the National Union of Students (UNE, in Portuguese) was evident in the political scene, involved as a participant or protagonist in themes and movements that shook Brazilian society. However the role played by this entity in name of the university movement in these scenarios cannot be understood as militant expressions of a suspended or disconnected from disputes movement around certain demands, or as a homogeneous, destitute of scission, disputes and political and ideological predominance team that other groups, organizations and parties exerted one over the others inside of the group and in all their relationships. Thus it is possible to identify the role of different political forces in UNE and in the university movement and these forces intervened in an organized way in defense of their beliefs and repertoires. Among all of these we highlight the young communists, the udenistas, socialists, Catholics and radical anti-communists, groups, organizations and parties that contributed to or opposed to the predominant repertoires in UNE actions. From these identifications, the objective of this study is to analyze the performance of the National Union of Students between the years 1945 and 1964, with emphasis on groups, organizations and parties who acted inside the university movement and disputed areas so that they could express themselves by means of student organizations, which ultimately was considered as ways of legitimizing practices and beliefs expressed in the repertoires suggested to the whole movement

This thesis examined Elizabeth Eloise Kirkpatrick Dilling Stokes, an American anti-war writer of the 1930s who attempted to get rid of the possible threat of Communism from spreading to the United States. Outside of her written works, she knew that it was important to introduce herself to persons of great importance to receive praise from the far-right community. Without these types of personal connections, Elizabeth Eloise Kirkpatrick Dilling Stokes might not have been an important figure among members of the far-right. It was through these intimate connections that her fan base began to grow. Her various books, articles, and pamphlets reached well over 100,000 people throughout the world. Today, her work is no longer in print but is found in many libraries. In this thesis, one will find the details of Elizabeth Eloise Kirkpatrick Dilling Stokes' life in connection with the various personal encounters in relation to her speeches and writings.

The exaggerated anti-Communist crusade of Senator Joseph McCarthy allegedly gained the support of a majority of Americans during the early 1950's. It is historically important and interesting to question that supposition by considering the character of McCarthy's following in each state. This study shows that in Utah sympathy for the second Red Scare abounded and evidences of McCarthyism were readily apparent. Three indicators illustrate Utah's support for the Wisconsin senator. The defeat of Elbert Thomas in 1950 dramatically epitomizes the successful use of incriminating allegations effectively employed by McCarthy. The election, or re-election, of McCarthy supporters and the defeat of at least one critic (Reva Beck Bosone) indicates voter sentiment. Finally, the apparent advocacy of numerous civic leaders for the senator's accomplishments and methods provided Utahns with ecclesiastical and social justification for his questionable exploits.
