A Study To Determine The South Dakota School Districts' Information Programs, Policies, And Attitudes, Donald A. Clyde

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There are a great many problems in education today. One of them is the growing reluctance of the public to support the high cost of education. Communications and public relations are considered to be helpful tools in explaining school needs and policy to the public. But are the schools in South Dakota making a rational use of these tools? To do so, a public relations-community relations communication policy ls needed. This thesis will evaluate the public relations policy of South Dakota schools--the policy of communicating with the public. It will focus on the school district policy. Included in the discussion …


Prediction Of Beef Palatability Factors And Relationships Between Live And Carcass Traits, Richard J. Berns Jan 1971

Prediction Of Beef Palatability Factors And Relationships Between Live And Carcass Traits, Richard J. Berns

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The agricultural industry or South Dakota is primarily based on the beer cow and her products. Cattle feeders had 275, 000 head of cattle and calves on feed on July 1, 1970, a 2 percent increase over July 1, 1969. South Dakota has about 1, 719, 000 beef cows which is 38 percent more than a decade ago. The state can continue to increase beef production in many ways such as retaining mare cows to produce feeders, increasing calving percentage, using crossbreeding, or feeding cattle to heavier weights. Increased carrying capacity through irrigation and management may be another avenue to …


A Survey Of The Relationship Among Occupational Information And Career Choices Of General College Students And Printing Management Students At South Dakota State University And Employees Of Fetter Printing Company, Dennis Robert Lundgren Jan 1971

A Survey Of The Relationship Among Occupational Information And Career Choices Of General College Students And Printing Management Students At South Dakota State University And Employees Of Fetter Printing Company, Dennis Robert Lundgren

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

I believe that the Graphic Arts industry will in the future face a severe manpower shortage if it fails to attract new blood, young men and women, into the field. This possible manpower shortage led me to study the reasons why people entered the Graphic Arts industry. People seem to reject the Graphic Arts industry as an occupational choice for several reasons which encouraged me to undertake this study. One of these reasons, the fact that people did not know of the opportunities in the field, was my primary reason. A second possible reason was that these people very seldom …

Effect Of Rhythmical Disturbances On Repetitive Assembly Work, Ranganatha Hemmige Jan 1970

Effect Of Rhythmical Disturbances On Repetitive Assembly Work, Ranganatha Hemmige

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The field of industrial engineering has been traditionally based on the desire to produce more goods for less money. This goal has been accomplished by a variety of methods, including improved methods, monetary incentives, and nonmonetary incentives. In the modern industry all of these may be used. Studies to isolate the effects-of such types of incentives frequently, although not exclusively, have been conducted on highly repetitive tasks. This occurs for a number of reasons: 1. The simple task reduces the variability of the output both in quality and quantity. 2. Any given number of cycles will take less time since …


Factor Analysis As A Tool In Identifying Some Factors Affecting The Structure Of The Fluid Milk Processing Industry In South Dakota, Chong H. Lee Jan 1970

Factor Analysis As A Tool In Identifying Some Factors Affecting The Structure Of The Fluid Milk Processing Industry In South Dakota, Chong H. Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Like all levels of the dairy industry, the market structure and the competitive conditions in the processing and distribution of fluid milk in South Dakota have undergone substantial changes in the past two decades. The major structural changes have been the decline in the number of fluid milk processing plants and the expansion of the remaining plants. These changes in structure have resulted in a changed pattern of distribution for fluid milk. In the past years, fluid milk was distributed only in areas in close proximity to the plants, and a high percentage of the milk was delivered directly to …


Characteristics Of Low-Income Families In The Head Start Program In Three Eastern South Dakota Counties, Christopher Lee Smith Jan 1970

Characteristics Of Low-Income Families In The Head Start Program In Three Eastern South Dakota Counties, Christopher Lee Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Little has been published which deals specifically with families in the Head Start program. Therefore, it would seem most appropriate to ask: What characteristics do Head Start families possess; in what way, if any, do these characteristics differ from those characteristics which are frequently attributed to the "poverty type" family; and, what are the Head Start parents impressions of the Head Start program. Objective 1. To determine the extent to which a sample of Head Start families possesses certain social and demographic characteristics which have been cited as common among families participating in the Head Start program, or among poverty …


An Eye-Movement Analysis Of Five Ink Colors Printed On Yellow Stock, Robert Charles Clappsy Jan 1970

An Eye-Movement Analysis Of Five Ink Colors Printed On Yellow Stock, Robert Charles Clappsy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The use of color combinations of print and paper by commercial printers has increased steadily since 1930. The relation of color-of-print to color-of-background is an important factor to be considered in printing because color does effect legibility. The increased use of color emphasizes the need for scientific knowledge concerning the effect on legibility of various color combinations of print and background. Such scientific knowledge demands relevant research in many areas of color printing. This study will try to determine the effects on eye-movements of various ink colors printed on a controlled yellow stock. This information would be useful to printers …

Characteristics Of Low Income Families In Eastern South Dakota : An Examination Of The Culture Of Poverty Concept, James Lee Satterlee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Characteristics of a sample of 120 low-income families receiving USDA food commodities in three Eastern South Dakota counties are studied. The Objectives of the study are: (1) to provide a sociodemographic overview of the characteristics possessed by these families; (2) to test the applicability of the Culture of Poverty approach for classifying rural low-income families; (3) to construct a typology- designed to better understand the heterogeneity exhibited among low-income rural families; and (4) to present the implications of the study for policy making, program planning and research. Findings on the first objective show the average age of household head to …


A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam Jan 1970

A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this study to help in the resolution of some of these questions by determining if the type of response made to programed material has any effect on the retention of the material. If, as was mentioned earlier, learning is the result of stimuli transmitted through the senses to the brain, it seems logical that the more senses involved in transmitting the stimuli to the brain the more effective and efficient the learning process will be. It is the hypothesis of this study that a person responding to programed material by having to think what the …
