Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson Jan 1972

Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has written six novels which explore some of the most important problems confronting man in contemporary society. Little significant criticism has been written on Kurt Vonnegut since he began writing in 1949. Recently, however, he has experienced an increasing popularity with readers and critics who have found his novels successful probings into modern man’s feelings of alienation in a world which he perceives as increasingly absurd. This thesis is an analysis of Kurt Vonnegut’s use of black humor, satire and science fiction devices in his exploration of four major themes occurring throughout his novels: criticisms of science, …

A Comparison Of A Model College Advancement Program With The Public Relations Effort At South Dakota State University, John W. Whalen Jan 1972

A Comparison Of A Model College Advancement Program With The Public Relations Effort At South Dakota State University, John W. Whalen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This paper is concerned with the management--planning, implementing and evaluating--of programs and activities designed to advance the understanding and support of colleges. College efforts at wooing publics and winning their support have too often been limited to publicity. Since colleges opened their doors, they have had public relations problems and have made efforts to court various publics--even if that effort was a single conversation each year by the president. The news bureau was called on as a panacea for public relations needs. Even then the public relations of the institution could be thought of as "the sum of all the …

Nitrate Movement In Freezing Or Frozen Soils, Donald G. Moore Jan 1972

Nitrate Movement In Freezing Or Frozen Soils, Donald G. Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nitrate movement in freezing and frozen soils was studied in both disturbed and undisturbed soils by laboratory and field investigations. Thermoelectric cooling plates were placed in insulated freezing boxes. Soil cores placed in the freezing boxes were stored, frozen, or thawed at a specific temperature or temperature gradient. Field plots and soils columns reset into the field environment were used to observe migration of either fall- or winter-applied nitrate. Movement of surface applied nitrate was caused by passage of a freezing front through either saturated or unsaturated sand or saturated Vienna loam. The nitrate movement due to freezing was greater …


The Effect Of Pulp Mill Effluents On The Carbon Dioxide Evolution Of Three East Texas Soils, John C. Morris Aug 1971

The Effect Of Pulp Mill Effluents On The Carbon Dioxide Evolution Of Three East Texas Soils, John C. Morris

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Two pulp mill effluents, NaOH extraction water from the pulp bleaching process and water from the chlorination step of the pulp bleaching process, were applied to jars containing three East Texas soils. Carbon dioxide evolution was then measured with an infrared gas analyzer to determine the effect of the effluents on the respiration of soil microorganisms. The relationship between effluent treatments was not statistically significant, though detrimental effects were observed in the heavier soil. Irrigation of clays and clay loams with the effluent is not recommended. Irrigation of sandy soils should be possible if there is no danger of sub-surface …


Macroscopic Benthos Populations And Taxonomy Of The Family Chironomidae In Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, Stephen B. Smith Jan 1971

Macroscopic Benthos Populations And Taxonomy Of The Family Chironomidae In Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, Stephen B. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Benthos samples were collected in Lake Poinsett, a highly eutrophic eastern South Dakota lake, from March 1970 through February 1971. The lake bottom was divided into three substrate types (sand, sand-sapropel mixture and sapropel) and the percent of each substrate type was calculated. Nineteen macroscopic genera were taken from ten sampling stations located throughout the lake. Descriptions are presented for organisms in this group. Diversity of organisms was greatest in the sand substrates, in that all 19 genera were collected. Chironomus spp. (Chironomus plomosus, Chironomus attenuates and six unidentified species) was the most abundant group of organisms and occurred most …


Responses Of Rumen Microflora To Whey Products Added To High-Grain Low-Roughage Rations, Virgil L. Metzger Jan 1971

Responses Of Rumen Microflora To Whey Products Added To High-Grain Low-Roughage Rations, Virgil L. Metzger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many factors present in livestock feeds affect the numbers and types of protozoa and bacteria in the rumen. A small particle size of feed and a fast rate of passage of the feed through the ruminant decreases protozoal numbers. Full feeding of a concentrate ration and an acid pH in the rumen also tend to reduce protozoa numbers. Bacteria numbers tend to increase as the protozoa numbers decrease. Knowledge of rumen microflora population changes on different rations is lacking. It is known that restricted-roughage rations will generally cause lower protozoal numbers. Since whey is an available source of lactose and …


Arboviruses In South Dakota Mosquitoes And Their Pathogenicity To Pheasants, Duane Robert Larson Jan 1971

Arboviruses In South Dakota Mosquitoes And Their Pathogenicity To Pheasants, Duane Robert Larson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The extent of arthropod-borne virus activity in humans and domestic and wild vertebrates in South Dakota is not known. The World Health Organization (88) defines an arbovirus as follows: "an arbovirus must produce a viremic in one or more vertebrate species, multiply in some arthropod that feeds on viremic blood and be transmitted through feeding." Mosquitoes or other arthropods fill these requirements because female mosquitoes take blood as a requisite to egg maturation. Blood from any vertebrate host contains the essential nutrients for ovarian maturation (65). Not all mosquitoes prefer blood from the same host so a wide variety of …


Adjustment Of Rural And Urban Residents In Five Retirement Homes In Northeastern Wisconsin, Grace E. Kiefert Jan 1971

Adjustment Of Rural And Urban Residents In Five Retirement Homes In Northeastern Wisconsin, Grace E. Kiefert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The need for this study is indicated by gaps in gerontological research and information. Until the last twenty years, studies were not often made of the many aspects of the aged in society; and currently, many questions in this field remain unanswered.Some studies have dealt with the physical setting of the retirement homes, but the individual's perception of the home has not been studied. The actual physical conditions of the homes are inconsequential to this study because the residents' perception of the situation· is critical to adjustment. This will provide the focus for this study. The objectives of this study …
