Programming To Meet The Needs Of Commuter Students, Joanne Kay Loonan

Graduate Research Papers

Commuter students are defined as those who live with their parents, spouse, family, or by themselves (Flanagan, 1976) in housing not provided by the institution. They comprise eighty percent of the undergraduate population in American colleges (Stewart and Rue, 1983). Commuters have been dubbed "the neglected majority" (Slade and Jarmul, 1975), because academic and personal counseling, campus activities, and special services have not been provided for these students on a consistent basis.

Counseling Battered Women, Dorothy A. Turner

Graduate Research Papers

Violence against women by men is not a new problem. Certain cultures have encouraged it; others have regulated it. English common law, after which American laws are patterned, gave husbands the right to chastise their wives. The ''rule of thumb" referred to the right of a husband to beat his wife with a stick "no thicker than his thumb" (Martin, 1983, p.46). Most states adopted this policy, acknowledging wife beating as acceptable, up to a point. This attitude was best summed up by an old North Carolina court ruling that stated, "unless some permanent injury be inflicted or there be …

What Principals Can Do To Lessen The Effects Of Stress On Teachers, Randall Gene Otto

Graduate Research Papers

Stress can affect anyone in any occupation. In this paper, discussion on the effects of stress will be narrowed to only one profession, teaching. The researcher will report the literature as to the definition of what stress is, its symptoms, discuss ways to measure Its frequency, look at the causes of stress within the teaching profession, and finally present ways that principals and other administrators can lessen the effects of stress. A generic definition of stress was offered by Bertlnusen (cited in Parson, 1987) when he stated that stress was a non-specific response of the body to any demand placed …

The Etiology Of Domestic Violence Against Women: A Theoretical Overview, Andrea Athey

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, a man's right to control his mate through violence has been legally and culturally sanctioned. The expression "rule of thumb" originates in ancient Rome and refers to the common law practice which allowed a man to strike his wife with a stick provided the stick was no thicker than his thumb (Gelles , 1987) .

Annual Report Of The Iowa Academy Of Science, 1988-89, Paul E. Rider

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Starting in 1976, annual reports have served as a continuing record of the activities of the Iowa Academy of Science. These augment a 100 year history of the Academy which was written in the centennial year of 1975.

This report covers the period from July 1, 1988 to June 30, 1989. It is based on the official records of the Academy (committee reports, Board minutes, correspondence) as well as the recollections, impressions and musings of the author, who is writing his first annual report.

Nursing Image And The Nursing Shortage, Glenda Sidler

Graduate Research Papers

This study was undertaken to determine what effect the present image of the nurse, as perceived by the general public, has had on the recruitment of students for the nursing profession. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to evaluate how the media has presented nursing over the last two decades. The literature review also looked at what effect this media presentation has had on the potential nursing student. Several strategies aimed at changing the public 1 s misconception of nursing were identified and discussed. Implications for further study and concerns for what this might mean to the future …

Familial Perspectives With Regard To Chemical Dependency, Samantha Jo Pieters

Graduate Research Papers

Recent literature supports the belief that alcoholism has adverse effects on family systems. It is the intention of this paper to illustrate what role alcohol plays in family systems, and how family members react to this disease. This review of literature has a second purpose which is to discuss how family therapists propose to treat chemical dependency.

Supervision Of The Marginal Teacher, Michael D. Haluska

Graduate Research Papers

Much of today's rhetoric for stemming the "rising tide of mediocrity" in American education has focused on the unsatisfactory performance of America's teachers (Sweeney and Manatt, 1984). Yet, too often the efforts of the nation's very able teachers are overshadowed by the poor performances of a relatively small number of incompetent classroom teachers. The accomplishments of the competent majority will continue to be overlooked and unappreciated unless principals deal directly with unsatisfactory teachers (Bridges, 1985). What we need is a reliable and accurate method for identifying teachers who are not performing up to standard and a systematic process for helping …

How Peer Group Membership Influences Adolescent Alcohol Use, Jane A. Reimer

Graduate Research Papers

As we near the close of the decade of the eighties and review gains and losses in the "war against drugs," several startling facts still loom as powerful reminders of the continuing problem our society has with drug use. Since 1 1960, all age groups in our society have experienced declining death rates with the exception of one group, the 15 to 24 year olds, whose overall death rate has increased (Ried, Martinson, & Weaver, 1987). A significant cause cited for this reverse trend among 15 to 24 year olds is the great number of alcohol related deaths due to …

Suicide In The Traditional College Student Population: Pertinent Findings For The College Student Personnel Professional, Loren Monroe Wakefield

Graduate Research Papers

Many writers agree that the rate of suicide among college students is higher than that of non-students of similar age and of the general population (Bernard and Bernard, 1982). Bonner and Rich (1987) stated that the suicide rate is about 50% higher for college students than for the general population. They also found that the suicide rate among students is higher than among non-students of the same age.

Children Of Alcoholics: Intervention Strategies For The School Counselor, Lois Stuedmann Youngblut

Graduate Research Papers

An estimated 15 million children are being raised in alcoholic homes in the United States today (Black, 1981). "Parental alcoholism is a form of psychological maltreatment of children" (Tharinger & Koranek, 1988, p. 166). Black (1981) stated that the words which describe living in an alcoholic family are inconsistency and unpredictability. The rules in alcoholic families are described as "inhuman, rigid, and designed to keep the system closed" (Wegscheider, 1981, p. 81). The family rules are Don't Talk, Don't Trust, and Don't Feel (Black, 1981).

Aids And Dementia, Mari Lagerstrom

Graduate Research Papers

The origin of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is unknown. AIDS was first recognized in the United States in 1981. Since 1981, AIDS has spread rapidly throughout the country. Initially, cases of AIDS were confined to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles (Harris County Medical Society, 1987). AIDS is a disease caused by a virus that destroys an individual's defenses against infections (United States Department of Education, 1987). It is essentially a disease of the immune system (Check, 1988). The AIDS virus, known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV can so weaken an individual's immune system that he or …

The Demands Of Dual Roles For Student-Athletes, Kathleen M. Peters

Graduate Research Papers

Since the beginning of intercollegiate athletics in this country, there has been controversy regarding the role they play in the total program of higher education. More recently, attention has been focused on the commercial enterprise college athletics have become. Both aspects of the controversy have affected the student-athlete. Frey (1982) stated that ever since the first intercollegiate event 1n 1852, a crew race between Harvard and Yale, "the history of intercollegiate athletics has been one of balancing the demands of external :interests (e.g., alumni/booster, entertainment and promotion) with those of the internal, educational constituency who asked questions about institutional control" …

Reassessing Higher Education's Commitment To Access, Lennette S. Hennessy

Graduate Research Papers

It may be said that one of the greatest ideas Americans ever gave the world was education for all (Brubacher, 1982). But if students are admitted in the name of access--simply because they have a right to be there--then "we have made a mockery of the concept of access, because we are setting the student up for failure" (Smith, 1987, p.24).
