Lower Cambrian Bioherms In Central Nevada And Eastern California, Xiaoping Zhou
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
A comparative sedimentological and paleontological study was made of two approximately coeval Lower Cambrian bioherm complexes, one in the Ravenswood area of Lander County in central Nevada, and the other in the Montenegro Member of the Campito Formation in the White-Inyo Range of eastern California.

Win The Lead! Television News Philosophy And The Life Cycle Of A Social Movement, Marie Curkan-Flanagan
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to investigate what effect the evolution of a social movement has on the depth of broadcast news coverage. By focusing on the American Indian take-over of Alcatraz Island 1969-71, this study examines whether a television news story has a life cycle of its own which contributes and/or detracts from the life cycle of a social movement.

The foundation for this thesis rests upon the idea that the "lead story" to a television newscast …
