We Will Survive: An Ethnography Of The Grateful Dead Following, Ray Eldridge Jan 1986

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 …

Academic Migration Patterns Of University Of Northern Iowa Students Who Received Bachelor's Degrees Fall Semester 1984 And Spring Semester 1985, Gerald D. Bisbey

History of Education Book Gallery

The University of Northern Iowa, since 1876, has evolved from a single purpose teacher education institution to a more comprehensive institution offering a variety of majors in liberal and vocational arts in addition to maintaining and expanding the teacher education programs. With the change in mission came large increases in enrollment particularly in the liberal and vocational arts areas. In recent years the number of undergraduate students majoring in liberal and vocational arts has been about twice as large as the number majoring in teacher education. The change in mission and size of the University brought a need for information …

Men In Midlife: A Literature Review, Gary Wayne Cox Jan 1985

Men In Midlife: A Literature Review, Gary Wayne Cox

Graduate Research Papers

According to Newton (1983), midlife "is a time for appraisal and review, a time to assess possibilities for change, and create new choices that will form the basis for a good-enough life in middle adulthood (p. 448). Levinson (1978) describes midlife transition as being a bridge between early adulthood and middle adulthood, when men come to terms with their past and prepare for the future. He feels that everyone goes through transition periods in their lives at various life stages. For some, midlife is a time for crisis. Brim (1976) noted that this crisis is both rapid and substantial, resulting …

A Literature Review Of The Association Between Adolescent Suicide And Family Communication, Robert Kevan Curren Jan 1985

A Literature Review Of The Association Between Adolescent Suicide And Family Communication, Robert Kevan Curren

Graduate Research Papers

Suicide, in general, has been described by Durkheim {1951) as "all cases of death resulting directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act of the victim himself, which he knows will produce this result (p. 44). Adolescent suicide has become a national concern within the past five years because of the steady rise in both suicide attempts and completions. Currently, suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. Early reports indicate that suicide may now be ranked second, only behind accidents, for the cause of adolescent death {Greuling & DeBlassie, 1980). In addition, the Statistical …

Counseling Battered Wives, Phyllis Renee Jones Jan 1985

Counseling Battered Wives, Phyllis Renee Jones

Graduate Research Papers

The relationship between husbands and wives is almost identical to that between parents and children (Ni earthy, 1982). The relationship is identical in the following ways: the husband has the so-called "right" to beat his wife and the parents have the "right" to beat their children. The husbands have the right to batter their wives because of power, authority, hierarchy in the family structure and legal rights. According to Ni earthy (1982) a judge once stated: "If no permanent injury has been inflicted nor malice nor dangerous violence shown by the husband, it is better to draw the curtain, shut …

Significant Factors In Adolescent Suicide And Subintentional Suicide: A Literature Review, Kirk Ryan Anderson Jan 1985

Significant Factors In Adolescent Suicide And Subintentional Suicide: A Literature Review, Kirk Ryan Anderson

Graduate Research Papers

Adolescent suicide has become a national concern within the past five years, due to the steady rise in both suicide attempts and completions (Giovaccini, 1981). Although the rate of adolescent suicide attempts appears to be on the upsurge, most of the literature focuses on adult attempters or deals with attempts across all ages (Topal & Reznikoff, 1982). Giovaccini (1981) reports that the adolescent suicide rate is nearly thirty three percent higher than that of the overall population. Rbsenkrantz (1978) found adolescents make many more attempts per successful suicide than do adults. The ratio for adolescents has been estimated as high …

The Effects Of Unemployment On The Family, Vikki Lynn Roberts Jan 1985

The Effects Of Unemployment On The Family, Vikki Lynn Roberts

Graduate Research Papers

Unemployment is a stressor event that affects the functioning and homeostasis of the entire family system. The sources of stress are a function of the material scarcity brought on by financial loss, the unemployed family member's loss of the breadwinner role, and the family unit's loss of status. In addition, the re-employment process imposes stress on the system. The effects of unemployment are apparent when the family is conceptualized as a social system where each member is a subsystem that affects and is affected by each of the other subsystem family members. Theoretically, the family system maintains a balance or …

A Study For School Media Center Program Improvement, Glen W. Jordan

Graduate Research Papers

The school library-media specialist holds an interesting position. They are not usually classroom teachers, but they are involved in the educational process. They select, purchase, catalog, and provide access to a great many materials in book form as well as in audiovisual and computer format. It is this material and its usage that puts the library-media specialist in such a unique and interesting position within the context of a school's educational program.

The Relationship Between High School Curriculum And Collegiate Academic Success, Nancy Bramhall Jan 1985

The Relationship Between High School Curriculum And Collegiate Academic Success, Nancy Bramhall

Graduate Research Papers

Newspapers and magazines have bombarded the American public in recent years with reports that national test scores on the American College Test (ACT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) were steadily dropping. Many people believe this drop in scores meant the quality of education was declining. Are the educational standards of our high schools lower today than they were twenty years ago? If so, what are the ramifications for our colleges and universities? The Advisory Panel on the SAT Score Decline stated, "There is a clearly observable evidence of diminished seriousness of purpose and attention to mastery of skills and …

The Social, Psychological, And Developmental Aspects Of Leisure: Implications For College Student Development Educators, Michele Dickey-Kotz Jan 1985

The Social, Psychological, And Developmental Aspects Of Leisure: Implications For College Student Development Educators, Michele Dickey-Kotz

Graduate Research Papers

Rapid changes of our society have produced a need for leisure education/counseling. Although some colleges attempt to meet this need, most do so through extra-curricular activities programs. Thus, in reality, students receive little or no preparation for leisure. This investigation is an attempt to identify, through a review of the literature, some of the social, psychological, and developmental aspects of leisure. Also identified are student needs regarding leisure education and service programs in addition to career development programs. The study is limited to the relative few empirical research studies on leisure education and explicates literature on associated 11 leisure 11 …

Sources And Alleviators Of Stress Experienced By Ministers' Wives, Diane M. Nethercott Jan 1985

Sources And Alleviators Of Stress Experienced By Ministers' Wives, Diane M. Nethercott

Graduate Research Papers

Ministers' wives experience unique and excessive stress as evidenced by their rising divorce rate, a growing rebellion against "what they consider outdated notions of sacrificial servanthood, 11 and by reports from professionals who counsel them (Lavender, 1976; Molgaard, 1981; Presnell, 1977, p. 274). In studying stress and burnout for clergy, Bouma (1980), Lavender (1976), and Mace and Mace (1980) noted that although ministers encounter stress factors far beyond those for other occupations, their wives experience even greater strain. Furthermore, Lavender (1976) reported that when ministers' wives seek counseling, psychologists find that stress factors have caused them severe psychological and emotional …

A Study Of Benefits Derived From Participation In High School Activities Programs, Steven Francis Schmit Jan 1985

A Study Of Benefits Derived From Participation In High School Activities Programs, Steven Francis Schmit

Graduate Research Papers

The current strain on the public educational dollar intensifies the consideration of reducing or eliminating high school activity programs. However, the educational benefits derived from participation in interscholastic programs shout for public recognition, and the need for educators to further the public's awareness and support of high school activity programs is acute. Executive Director Brice B. Durbin of the National Federation of State High School Associations (1981) asserted, "Nationally over one-half of the high school student population participates in high school student activity programs for approximately one percent of the total school budget, obviously the best value in public education …

A Call For The Study Of Negotiation, Ruth Hunt Jan 1985

A Call For The Study Of Negotiation, Ruth Hunt

Iowa Journal of Communication

How does one acquire the highly useful skill of negotiation? Unfortunately, many communication departments still do not teach negotiations and seem to discount its importance. The closest counterpart to such course might include segments of interpersonal communication courses dealing with conflict resolution in a most general sense, and courses on persuasion or argumentation dealing with social influence. While some claim these topics appear quite similar to bargaining and negotiation, much more is involved than conflict resolution or persuasion. As researchers Sawyer and Guetzkow conceded, "communication and persuasion" are "major elements in the process of modifying utilities," but a multitude of …

Public High School Library Censorship, David Edward Hanneman Jan 1985

Public High School Library Censorship, David Edward Hanneman

Graduate Research Papers

A primary responsibility of any administrator is to provide leadership and direction to the organization and its personnel. Often that leadership consists of anticipating problems and devising appropriate approaches to them before they threaten the organization. Today censorship of public high school library materials represents one of the major issues facing public school districts. This problem is spawned by a lack of tolerance between conservative and liberal individuals and organizations, both fighting for their own beliefs. To what extent censorship is handled effectively rests mainly with the direction given by the public school administrator before the censorship attempt arises.
