Looking Past The Surface : A Look At The Office Of Senate And Its Environment And The Implications Of Public Versus Private Morality, Jennifer A. Chaippetta
Looking Past The Surface : A Look At The Office Of Senate And Its Environment And The Implications Of Public Versus Private Morality, Jennifer A. Chaippetta
Honors Theses
By interning at the State Headquarters of Senator Robb's office, I was able to learn the nature of the leader/ constituent relationship first hand. I witnessed first hand how the government can be responsive to its constituency. Daily, I witnessed the business of constituent services that Senator Robb's office offered, be it through special projects such as the Salem VA hospital investigation, the constant concentration on the constituent through casework, and the direct interaction with the constituent. Without this leadership experience I would never have realized the essentially service related aspect of the Senator's work, and the transactional relationship that …

Bidding For Distinction : John Wade's Gerogia Review, Anne Rittenburg
Honors Theses
Hailed today as one of the leading literary journal quarterlies in the nation, the Georgia Review is venerable on the eve of its golden anniversary. The quarterly's rich beginning bears investigation; so to understand this beginning, I have studied the man, John Donald Wade, who originated the Review and have observed firsthand through his correspondence, his pre-publication publicity, and his editorials the scope and standard he set for the quarterly. I have read of Wade's life and works in dissertations, essays written on him, and a published collection of his writings. Interviewing some of his smviving colleagues, I have gained …

Design And Construction Of A Lithium Vapor Oven, Corey A. Leon
Design And Construction Of A Lithium Vapor Oven, Corey A. Leon
Honors Theses
A lithium vapor oven to be used as a source of lithium target atoms in atomic collision experiments was designed and constructed. The oven was installed in the beamline of the Van de Graaff accelerator at Western Michigan University. Test results indicated the oven produced a diffuse cloud of evaporated lithium instead of the intended concentrated jet spray. Recommendations concerning the design are made for future efforts.
Gravity Modeling Of A Patch Reef In Allegan County, Michigan, Mei Leng Wong
Gravity Modeling Of A Patch Reef In Allegan County, Michigan, Mei Leng Wong
Honors Theses
The study of the Diamond Springs oil field in Allegan County focuses on the use of gravity to delineate individual reef buildups. The Diamond Springs oil field is a small patch reef located in northern Allegan County, Michigan. The reef, which is approximately 1400 feet deep, is located within the Middle Devonian Traverse Limestone and was deposited in an open shelf, carbonate platform and lagoonal environment. The reef covers an area of approximately one square mile and has a vertical relief of 30 to 80 feet. These porous reef materials are commonly buried by muds or evaporites resulting in ideal …
Behavioral Comparisons Of Maltreated Children, Sharla J. Schneider
Behavioral Comparisons Of Maltreated Children, Sharla J. Schneider
Honors Theses
The behavioral and cognitive differences among sexually abused children were investigated. A total of 19 Child Behavior Checklists were evaluated for distinguishing factors on the Internalizing, Externalizing, Attention Problems, and Thought Problems scales. First, the subjects were placed into two groups, those who had been victims of sexual abuse (SA) and those who had been victims of SA plus Other maltreatment (e.g., neglect, physical abuse, etc.). Only three subjects were found to be in the SA plus Other maltreatment group, so three subjects from the SA only group were selected for comparison based on age and sex. All were females …
Lee Smith's Use Of Point Of View In Oral History And Black Mountain Breakdown, Debbie Ames
Lee Smith's Use Of Point Of View In Oral History And Black Mountain Breakdown, Debbie Ames
Honors Theses
As a literary device, choice of point of view is one of the most important technical decisions an author must make when writing a novel because of the effects emerging from this choice. If an author chooses first person point of view over third person point of view, the overall effect of the novel will differ. Lee Smith is keenly aware of the importance of point of view and manipulates it in both Black Mountain Breakdown and Oral History to create the overall effects which she desires for each novel.
Dissociation And Sexual Abuse: A Stuy Of 95 Students, Leslie Paris
Dissociation And Sexual Abuse: A Stuy Of 95 Students, Leslie Paris
Honors Theses
The current study investigated the connection between dissociative behaviors and childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual abuse. Dissociative behaviors were measured using the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES; Putnam and Bernstein, 1985). Although research drawing a connection between such dissociative disorders as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Multiple Personality Disorder are cited, this study fails to find any significant correlation between DES scores of subjects and histories of sexual abuse. The investigator continues on to discuss alternative explanations for the discrepancy between this study and the findings of those studies cited.

Getting Around The Problem... A Look At The Use Of "Around" Constructions In Kalabari, Jacqueline L. Lilly
Getting Around The Problem... A Look At The Use Of "Around" Constructions In Kalabari, Jacqueline L. Lilly
Honors Theses
This work investigates English constructions that employ the preposition "around" in relation to the Kalabari equivalents of these expressions. The work begins with a general discussion of the Kalabari language, and moves to a short talk about prototype theory. Pertinent data sets are then presented in both English and Kalabari. These data serve to support the author's assumptions concerning stem forms and phonological changes within the Kalabari semantic network for "around' constructions, which are presented in the next section. Finally, I the author arrives at conclusions concerning constraints present in "around" constructions, and relates this to some universals presented in …

The Regional Economic Impact Of The Closure Of Fort Mcclellan, Alabama, Stacey E. Byington
The Regional Economic Impact Of The Closure Of Fort Mcclellan, Alabama, Stacey E. Byington
Honors Theses
The complete effects of closing Fort McClellan cannot be easily measured. The sociological and political ramifications - though an important part of the economic costs - will not be discussed in this project as they are not readily quantifiable. This project analyzes the regional economic impact of Fort McClellan, Alabama; and hence, the impact of its closing. Although its purpose is providing national defense, a military base also contributes employment, service, training, and culture to its surrounding communities. As of 1989, Fort McClellan employed nearly eight thousand military personnel and two thousand civilians. The Fort's economic impact includes expenditures of …
The Role Of The Seed Coat In The After-Ripening Process Of American Pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana L.), Jason E. Cox
The Role Of The Seed Coat In The After-Ripening Process Of American Pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana L.), Jason E. Cox
Honors Theses
As plants evolve into new forms and shapes, the reproductive structures are often the last to change because of the importance of successful reproductive organs to the survival of the plant's hereditary information. Because of this particular feature, one very common method of determining how advanced a species is evolutionarily is the study of its reproductive cycle (Gifford and Foster, 1989). A few advanced classes, most notably the general class groupings of the Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, have developed seeds as a part of their reproductive cycle. Normally, there are several stages through which the seed must go in order for …
Afrocentric Curriculum Infusion In The Chattanooga Public Schools, Cynthia Joy Truex
Afrocentric Curriculum Infusion In The Chattanooga Public Schools, Cynthia Joy Truex
Honors Theses
Since its beginnings, the United States has been a country that welcomed diversity. "Respect for diversity is the hallmark of democracy," states Asa G. Hilliard m (1991-92). We are a society that is multicultural. This unique characteristic sets us apart from most other countries. The schools in the United States have recently been coming to terms with the realities of educating a multicultural student population. The term "multicultural education" is prominent in the field and nearly always sparks some controversy. However, there is general consensus about the need for some type of multiculturalism in America's schools. Though the United States …
The Effects Of The Caribbean Basin Initiative On Jamaica's Trade, Arlene Hendricks
The Effects Of The Caribbean Basin Initiative On Jamaica's Trade, Arlene Hendricks
Honors Theses
This paper will analyze the export-led model for development by looking at the intended versus the actual results of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) as it relates to the Caribbean country of Jamaica. The CBI was passed into law by the U.S. Congress under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) in 1983. An exploration is made of the circumstances leading to the CBI, the main precepts and legislation of the CBI, its implementation and its effects. This paper also discusses the amendment to the CBERA, known as CBI II, which was passed into law effective October 1,1990. There will …
Mathematical Problem Solving: Changing Students' Attitudes Through The Use Of Heuristics, Lori Fulton
Mathematical Problem Solving: Changing Students' Attitudes Through The Use Of Heuristics, Lori Fulton
Honors Theses
Current research indicates that "...the teaching of problem solving is regarded by many as the most important and fundamental goal of school mathematics instruction" (Silver & Thompson, 1984). The fact that problem solving is considered a goal of mathematics instruction leads this writer to believe that the methodology involved should also be examined. In order to have successful programs both the teachers and the students must feel comfortable working with the problems. Past experience has made this writer aware that often this is not the case.
Success And Failure In The Life Of Edwin Arlington Robinson, Katey Ford
Success And Failure In The Life Of Edwin Arlington Robinson, Katey Ford
Honors Theses
Edwin Arlington Robinson always felt that writing poetry was the only career that he could pursue in his life, but also always worried whether it was a worthy pursuit in the eyes of the culture in which he was raised. In a small town like Gardiner, Maine, where the 1690s' Puritan ethic was nearly as strong centuries later in the 1890s, the concept of a career in poetry or any artistic pursuit was absurd but not nearly as absurd as being successful at it. His grounding in Gardiner's values left an indelible stamp on his life and his poetry. Like …

Are Sexual Experiences In Childhood Related To Eating Disorders In A Sample Of College Students?, Sharin Sarkari
Are Sexual Experiences In Childhood Related To Eating Disorders In A Sample Of College Students?, Sharin Sarkari
Honors Theses
A link has been suggested by psychologists and clinicians between sexual abuse in childhood and adolescence, and later eating disorders. The present study investigates childhood sexual experiences and the appearance of eating disorders in a college. sample. The Eating Attitudes Test and the Finkelhor Sexual Victimization Scale were used in a sample of 158 undergraduates. The data confirmed the hypotheses that there is a significant association between childhood sexual abuse and eating disorders. Those sexually abused between the ages of 12-16 reported significantly higher eating disorders. Therefore the possibility of sexual abuse must be assessed and results included in a …
Analogue Study Of Pretherapy Disclosure Effects On Potential Clients' Expectations About Counseling: A Psychology 499 Senior Honors Thesis, Steven C. Jett
Analogue Study Of Pretherapy Disclosure Effects On Potential Clients' Expectations About Counseling: A Psychology 499 Senior Honors Thesis, Steven C. Jett
Honors Theses
Research is increasingly suggesting that therapist and client ratings of greater beneficialI outcomes from therapy are strongly related to client and therapist perceptions of increasing convergence and generally positive expectations before counseling even begins. Using an analogue format, this study attempts to fill a void in the counseling literature by investigating Christian and non-Chiistian subjects' expectations for counseling with a Christian counselor, an agnostic counselor, or a counselor with no specified theistic orientation. After reviewing an analogue counselor description, subjects responded to the modified Brief Form of Tinsley's (1982) Expectations About Counseling questionnaire. Subjects' theistic orientation was assessed according to …

Restoring A Historic Costume Facility To A Proper Functional Level, Janet A. Gatch
Honors Theses
Using my past experience in historic costume preservation, written resources, and the knowledge of those interested in this area of clothing & textiles, museum studies, and costume research, I hope to transform the state of the historic costume facility in Quigley Hall to one that's organized, utilizes proper storage techniques, and is available for use by both faculty and students. As a result of this reorganization, I also hope to have the opportunity to share this learned knowledge with the students and faculty of the Clothing & Textiles Department through some formal means.

Educating Low Income And Minority Children, Anita Michele Bazile
Honors Theses
This research analyzes the impact of selected social policies on the self-concept of Black families and their children in comparison to their European counterparts. Economics and education have been selected because they are critical variables in the dynamic interaction responsible for the foundation of adequate family functioning and child development. This precise analysis should suggest guidelines for working with Black families and children and for enhancing their self-concept and mental health through impacting existing social policy, analysis, and practice.

A High School Physics Program Stressing Application To Concept Instead Of The Traditional Concept To Application Approach, William Semrau
A High School Physics Program Stressing Application To Concept Instead Of The Traditional Concept To Application Approach, William Semrau
Honors Theses
It is well documented that there is a general lack of enthusiasm displayed by most high school students towards the sciences. Questions such as "Why are we studying this, I'll never use it?", "This is boring.", and "How does this relate to the real world?" are common in the classroom. This study seeks answers to why so many students feel this way, what has been done to improve student attitudes and interest, and includes recommendations to improve high school science education, particularly in physics.

The Appalling Stream : The Terror That Adjoins The Humor In The Writings Of Eudora Welty, Winnie Prince Mattheiss
Honors Theses
Two streams flowed into Eudora Welty's life, the one stream bright, the other one dark; and from their confluence came both the humor and the terror in her writings. These flowing streams she describes with charm in her autobiographical essays, One Writer's Beginnings.

New Directions : Dewey, Aesthetics, And Psychology, David Clark
New Directions : Dewey, Aesthetics, And Psychology, David Clark
Honors Theses
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether psychological information is relevant to solving aesthetic problems. Along the way I will point out that there are disparate senses of the word "psychology" and I will show how John Dewey can be perceived historically as an early contributor to what we now call "cultural psychology", which I believe is a viable alternative to experimental aesthetics.
