A Tropical Colonization Experiment In Mexico, Charles Ray Alban

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

One day in March 1963 in the city of Torreon, State of Coahuila, Mexico, a group of 492 heads of families said goodbye to their wives, children, relatives, and friends, and boarded a train to begin a long journey south and east to a new and, they desperately hoped, better life, with land of their own to work and to love. It would be almost a full year before the families would be reunited in a new and different environment.

Reactions To Parenthood, Geraldine Rosine Brinley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Parenthood is a common experience, in the sense that it is almost universal among married couples, but it is a unique experience in the sense that there are great individual variations in its meaning and its impact upon the life of each parent.

In spite of the many variations in reactions and responses to parenthood, a stereotype reaction seems to prevail. The stereotyped conception of behavior following the conception of a child is for the wife to be filled with some inner joy which causes her to behave mysteriously for a time until she reveals the unsuspected truth to her …

Sex Preferences And Identifications Of Young Children, Loa Thomson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The acquisition of normal sex-role behavior is one of the fundamental tasks which goes into developing a healthy personality. More needs to be understood about the processes involved in adopting proper sex-role behavior patterns. How does a little girl adopt the feminine role and learn to be a woman? How does a little boy adopt the masculine role and learn to be a man? From the studies in clinical psychology and psychiatry, it is evident that personality maladjustments and certain forms of emotional disorders appear to be related to difficulties in sex-role adjustment. This suggests a close correlation between childhood …

The Effects Of Teaching Experience On The Counselor's Perception Of His Role And Effectiveness In Counseling, Benne D. Williams

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Prior to World War II, the question as to whether or not public school counselors needed public school teaching experience would never have entered the minds of counselor educators, employers, or any other persons concerned with this matter. In the teaching field, a premium was placed on experience and often times an apprenticeship for a position had to be served. With today's shortage of teachers and counselors, a number of persons have been employed as public school counselors without teaching experience. The effects of the employment of public school counselors without school teaching experience has caused many questions to be …

Existing And Potential Outdoor Recreation Resources In Bear Lake Valley, Utah And Idaho, Dennis H. Black

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Providing adequate outdoor recreational opportunities to the public is now a national problem. Of the many influences affecting the demand for recreation, increased income, population increase, sociological changes, and rapidly increasing technological developments are the more important. In the face of these factors, we must plan better to insure sufficient future needs. This will require evaluation and development of many recreation opportunities.

The Bear Lake are of northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho is situated along U.S. 89 and within close driving distance of much of Utah's population. Up to the present there has been little orderly or planned development of …

An Evaluation Of The Differences Among Lower, Middle And Upper Socio-Economic Groups In The Sixth Grades In The Ogden City Schools With Regard To Scholastic Achievement, Milton Kendrick

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There are some inadequacies in our American way of life. One of these is the inadequate help and attention given to the problem of children who become shackled with their lower class environment with little or no desire or incentive to rise above this. The major challenge to any teacher is the ability to stimulate and inspire children to achieve or succeed. There are different degrees of achievement. For one child, great achievement is not the same as for another. The realization of this prompted the decision to see what differences in achievement exist among the three main socio-economic classes. …

The Use Of "Fashion Therapy" As Adjunctive Therapy In The Rehabilitation Of Psychiatric Patients, Virginia Geddes Eyestone

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Mental illness is one of the greatest public health problems and foremost challenges of our time. However, because of improved medical practices and modern research methods, more mental patients are now being released and returned to society than at any other recorded period.

The mentally ill person loses touch with reality. Things that once were of primary concern are no longer important. Many mental patients become accustomed to carelessness in dress and personal habits. This state of deterioration often remains as a mark of mental illness, and the resulting inappropriate dress frequently limits the activity of the individual. The patient …

America has been known throughout its history as a land of plenty . Enough food to feed a rapidly increasing population has been produced continuously .

The Responsible Exercise Of Creative Power, Carlton Culmsee

Faculty Honor Lectures

ONCE last summer we stood. near the snow-white cascade flowing over the world's largest concrete dam, Grand Coulee, which is twice as high as Niagara Falls. We were alone in the gallery with the shafts that link the turbines to the dynamos. The nearest shaft appeared to be a pillar strong enough to bear half the burdens of humanity. It seemed to stand still and serene. Examined more closely, it revealed itself as spinning with perfect smoothness. For all we could see, we were alone in the eleven miles of passages inside the dam and powerhouse, alone with a cosmic …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

While the number of youthful marriages in the United States is increasing, evidence continues to indicate that a significant proportion of these marriages is unstable.

The Respiratory Chain Involved In Oxidative Phosphorylation On Higher Plants In Relation To Carbon Dioxide-Bicarbonate Inhibition, Wan-Jean Young

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Increased concentrations of CO₂ with the accompanying high bicarbonate level in the culture medium have been reported to have a depressing effect in certain plant species on growth (34), respiration (23, 33), oxidative phosphorylation (9), mineral nutrient absorption (17), certain enzymatic reactions (4, 22, 27), accumulation of organic and amino acids (11), and protein synthesis (16). Since accumulation of organic acids occurs in lime-induced chlorotic tissue together with a depression in the respiration of plant tissue, an effect on the energy transfer mechanism of such plants is suspected. Inhibition of electron transfer from the substrate level could result in …

A Comparison Of Aspiration Levels Of Students In Ability-Grouped And Randomly-Grouped Schools, George Aaron Jeffs

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Grouping students with in the school setting has long been a concern to all those associated with the educative process. Much investigation has been devoted to the position of level of aspiration as influential motive forces for educational, occupational, and social achievement. Many avenues of grouping have been investigated and some very thoroughly. However, research concerning grouping in relation to level of aspiration in the school setting appears to be extremely limited. This study is designed to further investigate this issue. It might be said that this study consists of essentially two phases: (1) the development of instruments for measuring …

Land Tenure Problems In Iran, Jalil Mahmoudi

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Land tenure problems throughout the Middle East and most of the underdeveloped countries of the world are considered by competent international organizations and many students of world problems as one of the greatest contributing forces to social unrest and a barrier to economic development.

When the United Nations' General Assembly at its fifth session in 1950, had under discussion the problem of land reform in many underdeveloped countries, the consensus of opinions were that the conditions affecting land reform reduced agricultural productivity and were a major cause of low standards of living for the populations of those countries. The General …
