Inventory Of Economic Understanding Of Sky View High School Graduates, 1966, J. Karl Worthington

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

All societies are faced with the problems of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce goods and services. To each of the many facets of each of these questions are many alternatives. The different economic systems in the world allow different segments or parts of the system's population to select the answers to economic questions from the alternatives to the economic questions all systems face. The quality of the decisions made is of vital importance to the progress of the particular economic system.

A Guide For The College Supervisor Of Business Education In Training Student Teachers At The College Of Southern Utah, Larry A. Olsen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The first and most serious concern for the college supervisor is the lack of a definite description of his job. Perhaps the cause of this dilemma is the divergent practices of the different teacher education programs offered by teacher training institutions.

Student teaching is considered to be the pinnacle of the education spiral for student teachers who are training to become professional teachers. The college supervisor of student teachers is one of the most influential individuals in guiding the student through the teacher training program. An efficient college supervisor is one who is aware of his responsibilities and who practices …

A Graduate Recital Report, Jean Madsen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In preparing for the recital many challenges were presented. It was quite revealing to learn how much can be forgotten and how many incorrect habits can be developed in a long period of time without continuous study. Many hours of work and continuous effort have been devoted in an attempt to overcome these seemingly insurmountable problems.

A Modern Philosopher's Stone, Grant Gill Smith

Faculty Honor Lectures

Alchemists, the forerunners of chemists, for more than a millennium sought the "Philosopher's Stone"-the transmuting agent that could change imperfect base metals such as lead and tin to the noble metals, gold and silver, and also serve as the Elixir of Life to heal the infirmities of man and prolong his existence on earth.

Where alchemy failed, chemistry, in little more than a century, has succeeded in finding the "Philosopher's Stone," for it is now not only possible to transmute one metal into another and heal many of man's infirmities, but scarcely a facet of man's life has not been …

Engineering For The Human Environment, Frank E. Moss

Reports

President's Introduction: The environment of man has been the subject of intensive studies in recent years as the dangers of pollution became increasingly evident. The atmostphere we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, all are endangered by defilement. Thre resolution of the conflict can came only through a asystematic reordering of the national way of life so that man himself will not fall victim to the wastes of his civilization. For forty years Utah State University has been vitally concerned with the problems of pollution. Utah State surveys and studies have revealed the effects of pollutants on …

Groundwater Development In Arid Basins, Dean F. Peterson Jr., Harold E. Thomas, J H. Feth, P. H. Mcgauhey, James H. Milligan, Wayne D. Criddle, Judge Lewis Jones, Dallin W. Jensen, Calvin G. Clyde, Bartell C. Jensen, C. E. Jacob, Jay R. Bingham, E. O. Larson

Reports

Summary: Groundwater development frequently provides a means whereby tremendous new economic opportunities are opened up. If supplies are overdrawn (mined) the ensuing regional economy may be able to affort replacements from more costly sources. In the United States the Salt River Valley of Arizona and the valleys of California provide examples. Two cases are treated in this paper, Israel and West Pakistan. In Israel, besides furnishing more than half of the basic source of water suppply, groundwater development provides opportunity for both quantity and quality management, which makes possible use of surface supplies and reclaimed sewage as firm rather than …

Bioassay Evaluation Of Heptachlor, Telodrin And Diazinon Using Cache Valley Populations Of The Alfalfa Weevil, Lan Lin Wu

Biology

The alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), is an insect of European origin which by some unknown means was introduced into Utah (Titus 1910). It is the most destructive pest of alfalfa in the United States although locally others may be more serious. The female inserts her eggs into the alfalfa stems during the spring months. The larvae feed on the developing leaf buds and the leaves, often completely stripping the plants. The weevil destroys from seven to eight percent of the alfalfa in Utah each year. It costs alfalfa growers in the United States several millions of dollars in annual …

Rearing Media For The Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus Ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Robert G. Jones

Biology

Laboratory rearing of economically important insects such as the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is important. Both basic and applied laboratory research depend on a readily available source of insects. This need is most easily met by laboratory insect colonies which can be maintained and drawn upon for the entire year.

A Cytological Study Of Germinating Aeciospores In The Cronartium Coleosporioides Complex, John A. Christenson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Peridermium harknessii Moore, causal agent of western gall rust, is responsible for deformation, cull and death of pine. In the West it is most serious on lodgepole and ponderosa pines. Seedlings and mature trees may be seriously attacked (Peterson, 1960). Gall rust is easily recognized by its branch galls and trunk cankers. Interest in the disease has fluctuated, but it is considered important enough that government monies support research on the disease in both the United States and Canada.

Implications Of Absentee Courtships, William Rolfe Kerr

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In our society today the progress of many courtships and engagements is interrupted by separations of varying periods of time and for various reasons. Hill (1949) found that wartime family separations cause a two-dimensional crisis constituting a hazard to the continuance of the relationship both at the time of separation and at the time of reunion. The assumption is made that a courtship would be affected in a similar way. Blood (1963, p. 161) says,

Both partners change somewhat while they are apart. This is not due to the separation alone, however, for personality changes go on constantly. When people …

A Program For Hospitalized Children, Leslie Joan Bishop

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

When children are hospitalized they are exposed to an unfamiliar and frequently forboding world of an efficiently run institution. They cannot, as adults do, afford to interrupt (Plant, 1962) their normal way of living and exclude the relationships, play and learning that contribute to their overall growth.

There is a general tendency for children to be treated much in the same manner that adults are when they are confined in a hospital situation. The adult (Chapman, 1956) is prepared to make this temporary adjustment because he is aware, to some extent, of the need for hospitalization and the positive consequence …

Navajo Student Food Preferences, Kathlyn L. Coffman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Adapt -- “to make suitable to requirements; adjust or modify fittingly." Adaptability is a trait which has been attributed to Navajo Indians by anthropologists, educators, novelists, psychologists, artists -- in fact, by almost everyone who has had dealings with them over a period of time. Yet, to identify specific examples of their adaptability and the attempt to measure the effect upon interpersonal relations of evidences of adaptation has proved to be no easy task.

History Of Snow College 1932-1951, Lee R. Thompson

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Knowing the past provides many of the ingredients that help to make conditions as they are today and as they might become tomorrow, the author became interested in these ingredients which helped to develop the educational institution known as Snow College. This search for knowledge led the writer to believe there was also a need to preserve some basic factual information about this school and present it as a history. This project, therefore, becomes an effort in the development of such a historical document.

A Study Of Amino Acid, Protein, Organic Acid And Carbohydrate Changes Occurring During Germination Of Peach Seeds, Lee Chao

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Conditions required for seed germination are different among species. Some seed of tropical and subtropical plants may germinate before the maturation of their fleshy fruit, e.g. papaya species, while seed from most deciduous trees have a period of after-ripening before germination. The after-ripening period, also referred to as rest or dormancy has also been observed in some vegetable crops and ornamental flowers.

The Impact Of Research And Development On Income And Employment In Utah, Thomas Clark Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Research and development (R&D) play an increasingly important role in the economy of the United States. Total expenditures for R&D during the decade of the 1950's were greater than in the entire history of the United States previous to that time. As a percent of gross national product, R&D has grown from 0.2 percent in 1921, to 0.4 to 0.6 percent in the 1930's and 1940's, and is now more than 3 percent.¹

Much has been said of the impact that the growth of R&D has on the general economy. R&D had also had a significant economic and sociocultural …

Simultaneous Flow Of Heat And Water In Plant Tissue, Gaylon Sanford Campbell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Although biological phenomena may be partially described in a general way without the use of mathematics and physics, the experimental results may be more meaningful if they are analyzed on the basis of physical and mathematical laws. The complexity of biological systems has made the application to them of mathematics and physics rather difficult, and only recently has much progress been made. Although it has yet been possible to describe only a few simple biological systems by actual equations, a great deal of qualitative information may be obtained by applying physics and mathematics. Russell (1960, p. 439) said

In principle …

An Investigation Of Certain Linkage Relationships In Barley, Parichehr Ahmadian Tehrani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley is one of the world's most important food and feed crops. It is adapted to a wide range of environments. According to Harlan and Martini (1936) barley is grown from north of the Artic Circle to the sands of the Sahara, and from the slopes of Mt. Everest to the lower delta of the Nile.

Considerable progress has been made in its improvement through plant breeding. Barley is one of the best cultivated crop plants for use in genetic studies. It is a diploid plant from the family Gramineae with seven pairs of chromosomes. The cultivated species are interfertile …

A Study Of The Extent To Which Further Consolidation Is Feasible And Desirable Within Selected County School Districts In Utah, Walter D. Talbot

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Under the mandator consolidation act of 1915, the county-unit school district in Utah had its beginning (10). Although, through this consolidation movement, many small school districts were combined into larger ones, the elimination of the small districts did not, necessarily, provide for the elimination of the small schools. Due to several factors including distance, poor communication and transportation facilities, and a strong desire on the part of the people who lived in small communities for a voice in school matters, the consolidation of school attendance areas did not keep pace with school district reorganization.

With the improvement of highways and …

A Comparison Of Tests Used In The Selection Of Milk, Roger L. Stephens

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The selection of milk has for many years been based upon the use of bacteriological tests such as the standard plate count, methylene blue, and resazurin tests. Such tests demoted the numbers of bacteria in milk and thus were well accepted as a close correlation of sanitary practices on the farm.

However, improvements in equipment, cleaning procedures, sanitizers and handling methods have greatly improved milk quality over the past decade. The farm bulk tank is a much more efficient system of cooling use in many areas. However, its very efficiency in cooling milk poses many new problems for those engaged …

Stratigraphy Of The Laketown Dolostone, North-Central Utah, David R. Budge

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The main objective of the present study is to provide a greater understanding of the strata referred to as the Silurian System in north-central Utah and southeastern Idaho and to serve as a basis for comparative regional studies in Silurian stratigraphy. It may be properly classified as a detailed reconnaissance of limited areal extent involving a single stratigraphic unit. It is based on field work done intermittently during the summer months of 1963-65 and laboratory and library work accomplished during the intervening winter months.

Stuttering In Utah Fifth Grade Children: An Incidence Study, Thomas S. Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Children afflicted with speech disorders represent the largest single group of exceptional children. The numbers of speech defectives reach between 2 and 2½ million or about 5% of the population (Johnson et al., 1956). Newman (1961) has disputed this claim and has stressed the difference to be made between speech differences and handicapping conditions:

It can be confidently stated that 5% of the population categorized speech handicapped, have speech differences of such a nature that the differences can be pointed out, recorded, classified, or quantified in some reliable manner. But that does not necessarily make the conditions handicapping or impairing. …

The Mormons And The Civil War, Boyd L. Eddins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

I had intended originally to write on another subject and had begun the research. However, in the process of perusing sources available, a related subject captured my interest. The Mormon prophecy relating to the Civil War had been a source of my belief in the efficacy of latter-day revelation. I was under the impression that my Church was extremely interested in current events as indication of the fulfillment of prophecy. I theorized that if such a direct, detailed prophecy as the one received in 1832 by Joseph Smith, began to unfold in our day, considerable excitement would be aroused. Perhaps …

An Evaluation Of The Promotion Policy Of The Iron County Schools, Claudia J. Forsyth

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In 1931, the Department of Superintendents, National Education Association, in their Nineth Yearbook, put "Pupil Promotion" as first in a listing of five factors needing study . In 1966, more than three decades later, the effects of promotion or nonpromotion, still remain the subject of serious consideration among educators. The problem has been the subject of research studies and many opinion articles.

The Iron County School District, Cedar City, Utah, has advocated a policy of careful evaluation for each child considered for nonpromotion . The philosophy of the district which advocates adjusting instruction to meet individual differences should eliminate, except …

Graduate Recital, Naunie B. Gardner

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

As this writer began preparation for the recital, many problems of performance began to manifest themselves, problems which are not encountered in opera or oratorio. First one must consider the problem of endurance . Would this singer be able to meet the demands of one full hour or recital performance?

Inasmuch as some of the compositions chosen seemed more demanding than others, it seemed advisable to alternate numbers which placed great physical stress upon the singer with those which allowed some moments of ease and relaxation. It is also necessary to consider significant periods and styles of vocal literature and …

Team Teaching In Secondary School Science: Techniqeus In Large And Small Group Instruction And The Use Of Para-Professionals, Berlin C. Jensen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In team teaching there are considerations that are basic to conducting a successful learning experience. In large and small group instruction certain techniques are used that can reduce the tension and anxiety of the team teacher. Just how these techniques are used will vary for the individual team teacher. How to secure and use para-professionals are also basic considerations in a team teaching program. According to this survey certain techniques can be effectively used in large groups (1). The school plant itself has undergone a remarkable change, Newly constructed schools can now accommodate larger and more effective classes, or the …

Proceedings Of A Summer Institute In Water Resources: Volume 4 - General Principles Of Water Resources Planning, Aaron Wiener, P. Zusman, W. R.D. Sewell, Harvey O. Banks

Reports

Foreward: Recognizing the need for training of individuals to meet the rapidly rising problems connected with water resources development, Utah State University, with National Science Foundation support, organized a Summer Institute in Water Resources for college teachers. it was hoped that participants carefully selected from all regions of the country would receive additional insight and stimulation to improve and enlarge water resources training programs at their own institutions. Thus, the accelerated dissemination of such knowledge on a national scale could be facilitated. Realizing further that the key to a successful institute of this nature lay in the excellence of its …
