Research Activities At The University Of Northern Iowa, July 1, 1984 To June 30, 1986, University Of Northern Iowa. Office Of The Graduate College.

History of Education Book Gallery

This is the second of a proposed series of biennial reports which attempts to summarize some of the research and creative activity of the faculty, students, and research units at UNI. To be included, the activity must have been conducted between July 1, 1984 and June 30, 1986. Data have been derived from a number of offices: grants and contracts, commencement programs submitted by the Registrar, publications in the President's Bulletin, Academic Deans, and the Graduate College. Most of the data are presented in table form and are self explanatory.

Geology Of The Loess Hills Region, E. Arthur Bettis Iii, Jean C. Prior, George R. Hallberg, Richard L. Handy

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The narrow ridges and steep bluffs which extend in a narrow band along the Missouri Valley form the Loess Hills region. These bluffs stand in sharp contrast to the flat-lying Missouri River floodplain. The unique ridge forms are composed of thick accumulations of late Wisconsinan wind-blown silt (loess). Older Quaternary deposits as well as Cretaceous and Pennsylvanian bedrock outcrop beneath the loess in the region. The intricate texture of the topography results from the combined effects of eolian deposition, fluvial erosion, and mass-wasting. Physical properties of loess allow it to maintain nearly vertical faces when exposed. These properties also produce …

An Archaeological Research Design For The Western Iowa Loess Hills, Joseph A. Tiffany

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In an effort to make archaeological knowledge of Loess Hills prehistory more comprehensive, a three stage archaeological research design is outlined. It involves: (1) obtaining an unbiased sample of archaeological sites through probabilistic survey; (2) evaluating sites identified in terms of function, age and cultural affiliation; and (3) examining selected sites with specific problem-oriented research in mind. The research goal is to test the proposition that there were unique, prehistoric Loess Hills adaptations among groups who utilized the region.

We Will Survive: An Ethnography Of The Grateful Dead Following, Ray Eldridge

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Experiencing continual re-creation during each of the twenty-one years preceding 1986, this study's core may continue to unfold indefinitely. Although discovered to encapsulate elements grounded elsewhere, this culture centers upon an experimental musical group known as the Grateful Dead. First encountering the Grateful Dead in the summer of 1981, their ageless repertoire failed to capture me, but an unusual audience filled my senses. Flowing print skirts and other bright but tired attire suggested San Francisco of a time then fifteen years past. Subdued excitement replaced the alcohol inhibition of many rock shows. As the band finally appeared, a peacefully elated …

An Analysis Of Factors Affecting The Status Of Evolution As A Topic In Iowa High School Biology Classrooms, Heidi Ann Andre

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was designed to determine the status of evolution as a topic in Iowa high school biology classrooms. The extent of its coverage, as well as the type of understanding exhibited by the teacher, was viewed in light of the teachers' religious background, community opinion and college training. Two survey instruments were utilized to gather data. Instrument One was designed to quantitatively examine the structure of Iowa high school biology classes, textbooks used and the educational background of the teachers. Instrument Two was constructed to analyze Iowa biology teachers' self-perceived religious and scientific backgrounds relative to their treatment of …

Plato's Crito: A Speech Act And Structuralist Analysis For Performance, Gary Gerard Gute

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Although scholars recognize many of Plato's early dialogues as works of significant dramatic merit, few attempts have been made to either systematically analyze them for performance or to dramatize them in their entirety. A traditional Aristotelian analysis does not facilitate bringing the dialogues to fruition in theatrical performance because of their lack of physical, external action. This study, recognizing the dramatic potential of Plato's Crito, undertakes an analysis of the dialogue for the purpose of performance . Two methodologies are applied: Speech Act and Structuralist Analyses. The study culminates in a dramatic production of the Crito.

According to speech act …

The Evolution Of Local Control In American Public Schools, Dale E. Greimann

Graduate Research Papers

Boards of education are agents of the state, acting as policy making bodies for public school districts in the United States. 1 They are chosen traditionally and legally in local settings across America to perform two general control obligatory functions. Campbell, Cunningham, Nystrand, and Usdan (1980: 186) state, "First they are the official link with the public. Boards are to apprehend, understand, and reflect the public will in what they do. Second, boards have internal management responsibilities which are crucial to the enterprise's operation."

Annual Report Of The Iowa Academy Of Science, 1984-85, James G. Macmillan

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This year, 1985, marks the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Iowa Academy of Science. In 1975, when the Academy celebrated its centennial, a history of the Academy was written. Since that time the Annual Report has served as a running history of the Academy. This year's report encompasses the year beginning July 1, 1984 to June 30, 1985, and is based on committee reports, Board minutes and the recollections of the author.
