Ua35/11 Student Honors Bulletin, Vol. I, No. 1, Wku Honors Program

WKU Administration Documents

Articles written by honors program students. They were originally research projects, class papers or essays written for academic credit, but in each case the student has done further work editing and improving his or her manuscript for this publication. The articles represent a broad range of interests and disciplines, and they indicate a healthy attempt on the part of at least some students to dig for deeper knowledge and understanding than is usually associated with undergraduate study.

Vocalizations Of The Townsend Chipmunk (Eutamias Townsendii), Greig Michael Warner Sep 1971

Vocalizations Of The Townsend Chipmunk (Eutamias Townsendii), Greig Michael Warner

Dissertations and Theses

This study describes and analyzes the vocalizations of the Townsend chipmunk (Eutamias townsendii) in Oregon. Tape recordings of calls were collected primarily from Forest Park in Portland (Oregon) during 1970 and 1971, and sonograms of these recordings were produced. Findings were compared with those of Brand (1970) who investigated E. townsendii vocalizations in California. The prominent calls in the vocal repertoire of townsendii are the quist, the quirt, and the chipper. These calls all appear to be warning calls. The quist note is a a chevron-shaped (A) figure representing a sound which begins at a low frequency (1-2 KC), sharply …


Some Interactions In The Evolution Of Man And Tools, Gary W. Weston Aug 1971

Some Interactions In The Evolution Of Man And Tools, Gary W. Weston

All Master's Theses

This paper looks at some of the interactions between the development of tools and the evolution of man and his ancestors. It begins with a brief history of life up to the primates as a foundation. Next the use of tools by other animals is examined followed by the coverage of the period of time from Australopithecus to Modern Man showing the interweaving of physical and mental evolution of man and the development and refinement in his physical tools. Lastly, a look at possible future interactions in the physical and mental evolutionary developments in man as influenced by his tools …


A Study Designed To Establish Norms For The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Utilizing Somatotypes, Dean A. Blevins Jun 1971

A Study Designed To Establish Norms For The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Utilizing Somatotypes, Dean A. Blevins

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to develop norms for the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test in each somatotype classification as determined by the Heath-Carter anthropometric measurement. At the present time, norms exist only for the group as a whole which is comprised mainly of mesomorphs. This, of course, results in a great many endomorphs who score poorly, or not at all, and some ectomorphs who also do poorly. It is proposed that endomorphs, ectomorphs, and mesomorphs should each have their own norms.

Comparative Appraisal Of Bone, Fat, And Muscle Development Of Minnesota White And Indian School Children, Rita A. Kroska Jan 1968

Comparative Appraisal Of Bone, Fat, And Muscle Development Of Minnesota White And Indian School Children, Rita A. Kroska

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Comparative analysis of the nutritional status of white and Indian children living in an "economically distressed" area in Northern Minnesota was carried out by assessment of skeletal, fat, and muscle development and by dietary records from a limited sample of the subjects. Diets of the two groups were found to be roughly equivalent in caloric, protein, fat, and carbohydrate content; and the average heights and weights were generally similar. Yet the white children were on the whole fatter and had either equivalent or greater muscle development than the Indian children while the Indians tended to have more robust skeletons. Though …


Mature Pine Forests In Duluth Harbor Area, Donald W. Davidson, John B. Bernard Jan 1968

Mature Pine Forests In Duluth Harbor Area, Donald W. Davidson, John B. Bernard

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Quantitative and qualitative studies have been made on mature pine forests of selected areas on Minnesota Point and Wisconsin Point in the Duluth-Superior Harbor area. The forests were sampled by the point quarters method. The leading dominant in the Minnesota forest was Pinus resinosa, while the leading dominant in the Wisconsin forest was Pinus strobus. Trees up to 173 years of age were found on Minnesota Point, while the maximum age of the trees sampled on Wisconsin Point was 142 years. A total of 87 species of vascular plants were identified in the two areas.


A Descriptive Model Of The Sweet Corn And Pea Processing Industry Of Southern Minnesota, David P. Brennan Jan 1968

A Descriptive Model Of The Sweet Corn And Pea Processing Industry Of Southern Minnesota, David P. Brennan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This research project was initiated to construct and test a model of the sweet corn and pea processing industry of Minnesota. The model is a composite abstract consisting of several basic theories of general application and several hypotheses which were formulated to consider the unique properties associated with sweet corn and pea processing. These are related to the agricultural and industrial factors which are inseparable parts of sweet corn and pea processing. Testing the model concerned the evaluation of the theories and hypotheses with regard to the real life situation. The basic concepts used in the model were refined and …
