Pheasant Use And Waterfowl Production On State And Private Lands, Charles R. Elliott
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) use on state-owned game production areas was compared to that on privately-owned areas in east-central South Dakota. Four 80-acre and four 160-acre tracts of state lands were paired with private areas of the same size having the same amount of wetland and were selected from aerial photographs taken before the purchase of the state-owned areas. None of four nests were successful on private areas in 1968 and three of five nests were successful on game production areas. In 1969 three of 19 nests were successful on private areas and 10 of 21 nests were successful on …

Infiltration Lagoons As A Tertiary Treatment Device, Terry L. Druyvestein
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As the United States continues to grow and expand industrially, increased mechanization and shorter work weeks will result in a populace which will expect to enjoy increasing amounts of leisure time. Part of this leisure time will be used to participate in outdoor recreation activities, the result being an increased demand on lakes and streams. Maintaining these waters in a suitable condition for recreation and other beneficial uses has become the concern of most Americans. The Water Quality Act of 1965 and the subsequent state water quality standards are ample proof of the concern given to the control of water …
Flannery O'Connor And The Development Of The Grotesque In American Literature, Joan Rae Griffin
Flannery O'Connor And The Development Of The Grotesque In American Literature, Joan Rae Griffin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
When man's view of himself as a being in his universe changes with the tide of events, literary conventions change as well. There is very little in contemporary life that would contradict the assumption that man's view of himself and of his world is no longer governed by the assurance of reason or the confidence of prediction. When certainty of man's place in the universe was commonly accepted, for instance in the eighteenth-century, this assurance was reflected in a literature which was essentially rational and ordered. In the last two centuries, drastic upheavals in the course of human events have …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are few vocations that utilize speaking skills as frequently as those of the teacher and the minister. Because of his belief in the importance of -his message, Professor Frederick Manthey, instructor at Martin Luther Academy, said, "A Christian - will do his utmost to further the message of the Gospel in order that this saving message may not be hindered." As a result it would seem appropriate that young men and young women preparing for. the preaching, teaching, or lay ministry or the church would certainly have need for speech training. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to …

The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King
The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The application of herbicides to both aquatic and terrestrial environments is increasing at a very rapid rate. In the Weed Control Handbook (Blackwell 1960), 71 herbicides are named. Yet today, approximately 3/4 of all weed control is accomplished by 2,4-D, simazine (similar in action to atrazine) and diuron. This application is even more pronounced in predominately agricultural areas such as eastern South Dakota. Both 2,4-D and atrazine are used extensively for weed control in agriculture, and it is not being presumptuous to assume that they are finding their way into our lakes and streams. It is the purpose of this …
The American Negro In Selected Writings Of Robert Penn Warren, H. Lynette Olson
The American Negro In Selected Writings Of Robert Penn Warren, H. Lynette Olson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis has been to examine the various images of the Negro which Warren reveals in his writings and to analyze Warren's own attitude toward the Negro as expressed in those writings. Upon examining all ;of Warren's writings having to do with the Negro, one is left with three main pictures: first, the Negro as seen by the Southern white, second, the Negro as seen by the Northern white, and third, the Negro as seen by Warren himself. These pictures all contribute to reveal Warren's own attitude toward the Negro. Warren leads one to believe that the …
The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr.
The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Despite the fact that the Times was an afternoon paper and the Courant a morning paper, the two were more alike than they were different throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Each newspaper was increasingly influenced by persons not native to New England, but both retained executives with New England roots. They were closely balanced in manpower, they competed vigorously for the same kinds of news, and (after September, 1968) they presented similar Sunday packages. Carl Lindstrom's charge that newspapers were increasingly dominated by the business offices could hardly be applied fairly to either newspaper in Hartford by 1970. The publishers …

Bridge Girder Webs Subjected To Horizontal Loads, Randall Felix Preheim
Bridge Girder Webs Subjected To Horizontal Loads, Randall Felix Preheim
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Common bridge construction practice in South Dakota involves suspending the deck finishing machine and the freshly poured deck overhang from temporary metal brackets. These brackets are attached to the webs of the exterior plate girders. When loaded during construction, the brackets transmit to the web a vertical shearing force plus a couple. Since the webs are not designed for carrying horizontal loads, this type of loading could overstress the webs and appreciably lower their ultimate resistance to buckling. With specifications now permitting large depth to thickness ratios, deflections as well as stresses may be excessive. Rotation of the brackets, caused …

An Investigation Of Eye-Movements When X-Height And Line Length Are Held Constant And Alphabet Length Is Prismatically Varied, Harold D. Perry
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The growing percentage· of type set by the "cold type" process combined with the growth of lithographic printing has increased the use of filmed typefaces. Machines now exist that can greatly reduce or enlarge a filmed typeface from its original size. A prism attachment on a process camera allows type to be altered in one dimension while holding the other constant. The effects on readability of such alterations are of importance to the printer. In a master's degree thesis study, Joseph W. Truex used a prism camera to simultaneously and direct! vary line length and alphabet length. He found no …

The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley
The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to provide some basic understanding of the value of group counseling as it affects the self concept of individual participants. In many theoretical constructs of humanistic psychology there are numerous references emphasizing that the most important goal for group counseling is individual members’ attainment of a better understanding of themselves. A corollary to this assumption is that by understanding themselves, group members will be able to deal with their own frustrations and conflicts in a more meaningful way. The theoretical construct produced by this philosophical concept of self has been extensive, but the evaluation …

The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Family life education includes the total education for living in families. The main emphasis of all home economics or homemaking education is life as it is lived within the home and family. Some aspects of home economics are usually included in the curriculum at all age levels from early childhood through secondary education. Family life in America has changed over the years. Such factors as family mobility, a greater amount of leisure time, an increase in early marriages, and more mothers employed outside the home indicate the need for education in family living. Moreover, currently fewer youngsters learn about homemaking …
The Influence Of An Unusually High Water Table On Ground Water Quality At A Refuse Disposal Site, Charles Strock Johnson
The Influence Of An Unusually High Water Table On Ground Water Quality At A Refuse Disposal Site, Charles Strock Johnson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
At a 1961 symposium on ground water contamination and later in 1963 at a national conference on solid wastes, concern was shown for the protection of one of our most valuable resources - ground water. It was felt at both conferences that a definite need existed for more research in areas pertaining to the nature and mobility of chemical and biological contaminants leached from refuse disposal areas. Finally, in 1965, because of the interest shown in these problems, Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act which created the Office of Solid Wastes within the Public Health Service. Included in on …
