Characterization Of Asian Americans In Children’S Literature, June S. Talbott

Graduate Research Papers

This study was designed to determine how Asian Americans have been characterized in children's fiction. The questions investigated were: (1) what are the identifiable physical, social and personality stereotypes attributed to Asian Americans, (2) how have characterizations of Asian Americans changed between the periods 1945-1965 and 1966-1976, and (3) how have Asian American authors and illustrators characterized Asian Americans as compared with non-Asian American authors and illustrators. The time periods were chosen to test the impact of the Civil Rights Movement and the growing consciousness of the importance of ethnicity.

Look To The Forms: An Analysis Of Norman Mailer’S Non-Fiction, Roger Hancock

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

"Look to the Forms" examines and establishes the common themes of four of Norman Mailer's non-fiction books: Advertisements for Myself, The Presidential Papers, Cannibals and Christians and The Armies of the Night. In these books Mailer writes of phenomena following World War II and evolves a system of metaphysics, philosophy and sociology which is existential. The whole system rests on an existential metaphysics which finally requires an existential view of life, society and art. The heart of Mailer's metaphysics is an existential God who may succeed in establishing his Vision over the universe. This God cannot act on his own; …

The Becoming Of Age: The Pre-Law Communication Major, Robert F. Forston

The Effigy Mound Manifestation In Iowa, R. Clark Mallam

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Effigy Mound manifestation ranks as one of the most poorly documented and understood prehistoric cultural phenomena in Iowa. As employed in this paper, the term Effigy Mound refers to the animal-shaped earthen mounds and the cultural activities of the prehistoric societies who constructed them. Although three major archaeological surveys have been conducted in northeastern Iowa, none has specifically emphasized the Effigy Mound manifestation. Consequently, there is a definite lack of mound data necessary for the construction of distribution patterns and cultural models relating to this manifestation. The Luther College Effigy Mound Survey of 1973 was undertaken for the purpose …

The Vegetation Of Stinson Prairie, Kossuth County, Iowa, David C. Glenn-Lewin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Stinson Prairie, a 12.5 ha native preserve, is a rich grassland exhibiting the full range of prairie vegetation. Situated on a rolling moraine, topographic differences produce four main vegetation types: dry prairie, mesic prairie, swales and pothholes. Species richness is highest in the mesic prairie and lowest in the swales and pothholes. Stinson Prairie, although small, is well preserved, and compared to Kalsow Prairie (mesic) and Sheeder Prairie (dry), shows a well-developed vegetation gradient. Cypripedium candidum, an orchid rare in Iowa, is found on Stinson Prairie.

Marital Adjustment And Self-Concept In Married College Students, James Russell Moneypenny

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In light of the widespread dissatisfaction with marital relationships currently being expressed by couples in the United States, a research study concerning marital adjustment and self-concept was undertaken. Self-concept was chosen to be examined in relation to marital adjustment because of its generally agreed upon importance in interpersonal behavior. A positive relationship between self-concept and marital adjustment would provide a conceptual framework from which to view marital adjustment and would suggest therapeutic approaches for dealing with the problem. The research problem, then, was to examine the relationship between marital adjustment and self-concept.

A review of the literature showed marital adjustment …

A Comparative Analysis Of Actual And Desired Performance Dimensions Of Selected Iowa Secondary School Principals, Leroy C. Leidal

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Man And His Technology, Clifford G. Mccollum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

(Presented as a part of the Symposium on Man at the Centennial Program of the Iowa Academy of Science, Ames, Iowa April 18, 1975.)

Alexis Carrel, a Nobel laureate of 1912, published a book in 1935 that he titled Man the Unknown. This might have been an appropriate theme for this paper. As Carrel pointed out 40 years ago, although there is much that is known about man, there is need of a much more profound knowledge of ourselves. And not only a knowledge of man as an isolated fragment in the cosmos, but, perhaps even more importantly, …
