An Analysis Of The Past, Present, And Future Of Title Ix In Intercollegiate Athletics Through Various Case Studies, Specifically Western Michigan University, Tara L. Becker
Honors Theses
Although collegiate athletics i only a small portion of Title IX, it has been the most widely discussed and controversial part of the law to implement. It seems that colleges and universities have had the most trouble complying with the specifics of the law. However, they have made great strides since the days of the predominantly male world of collegiate sports in the past. This paper examines historical controversies, and takes a closer look at the impact of Title IX at Western Michigan University.
Conversion Of Virulent Cryphonectria Parasitica From The Lula Lake Land Trust To Hypovirulent Strains, Pearl Hwang
Conversion Of Virulent Cryphonectria Parasitica From The Lula Lake Land Trust To Hypovirulent Strains, Pearl Hwang
Honors Theses
For almost a century, the fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica has existed in the United States as a wound parasite to American chestnut (Castanea dentata) trees. However, hypovirulence, evidence of spontaneous healing in Italy and Michigan, has given the American chestnut trees hope to one day be restored into its natural range. Viruses were the cause of such spontaneous healings. My hypothesis was that a viruscontaining hypovirulent strain of C. parasitica (in a brown background) would share alleles that control anastomoses with the local virulent strains, so a virus that causes hypovirulence could be transmitted into local virulent strains in vitro. Fifty …
A Comparison Of Two Arts Programs Implemented In Two Elementary Schools In Hamilton County, Tennessee, Jayne Denton
A Comparison Of Two Arts Programs Implemented In Two Elementary Schools In Hamilton County, Tennessee, Jayne Denton
Honors Theses
A wide variety of theoretical backgrounds can exist between two different art programs. This paper observes and compares two different art programs that are currently being implemented in two elementary schools of the Hamilton County Department of Education. The theoretical background of the first program, Arts Integration (AI), promotes the teaching art in combination with other subjects. The theoretical background of the second program, Discipline-Based Art Education(DBAE), promotes the teaching of art as its own subject area. First, this paper briefly describes the history of each program, including explanations of the curriculum,program antecedents, and both positive and negative critical analysis. …
A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of High Capacity Chip Mills In The Southeastern United States, Blair Hutchins
A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of High Capacity Chip Mills In The Southeastern United States, Blair Hutchins
Honors Theses
This study on the costs and benefits of high capacity chip mills located in the southeastern United States stems from a personal interest gained in the subject through my Environmental Science minor. During my courses of study, factors such as philosophy and ecology were brought into discussions both for and against these chip mills. However, there was no economic data presented from either side. This caused me to wonder whether chip mills were, from an economic perspective, a positive or negative industry for this region. The present study will present a compilation of facts and data on the economic analysis …
Leon Trotsky And The Struggle For Power In Communist Russia, 1921-1923, David William Mcaloon
Leon Trotsky And The Struggle For Power In Communist Russia, 1921-1923, David William Mcaloon
Honors Theses
Leon Trotsky stood as one of the most prominent Bolshevik members in Russia from the onset of the revolution in 1917 until his expulsion from the Communist Party and exile in 1927. He earned respect for his Marxist philosophy, organizational abilities, and brilliance as a public speaker. After the Revolution of 1917 and immediately following the Russian Civil War, Trotsky stood second only to Lenin within the Bolshevik Party in the eyes of the public. Trotsky, though joining the Bolshevik Party only on the eve of the revolution, had proved his abilities in inspiring the masses and also in creating …
Wolves In Sheeps' Clothing: Creationist Manipulation Of Kansas Science Standards, Nathan Christopher Gehlert
Wolves In Sheeps' Clothing: Creationist Manipulation Of Kansas Science Standards, Nathan Christopher Gehlert
Honors Theses
So the question that animates this paper is this: what happens when a state's education policy seeks to make popular social and religious values a central part of its education standards in direct confrontation with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? I will try to answer that question in three ways. First, I will examine the tactics used in the manipulation of curricula to reflect social and religious values, with special focus on the Kansas case. Second, I will try to ascertain the determinants of success in these efforts; under what conditions are movements to …
The Lithuanian-Polish Dispute And The Great Powers, 1918-1923, Peter Ernest Baltutis
The Lithuanian-Polish Dispute And The Great Powers, 1918-1923, Peter Ernest Baltutis
Honors Theses
In the wake of World War I, Europe was a political nightmare. Although the Armistice of 1918 effectively ended the Great War, peace in Eastern Europe was far from assured. The sudden, unexpected end of the war,combined with the growing threat of communist revolution throughout Europe created an unsettling atmosphere during the interwar period.The Great Powers-the victorious Allied forces of France, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States-met at Paris to reconstruct Europe. In particular, the Great Powers had numerous territorial questions to resolve. One of the most fascinating territorial struggles concerned the city of Vilnius (Vilna in Russian, Vilna …
Environmental Influences On Financial And Nonfinancial Web Disclosure, Abigail Adams Bowen
Environmental Influences On Financial And Nonfinancial Web Disclosure, Abigail Adams Bowen
Honors Theses
Investors and financial analysts rely considerably on corporate information to make business decisions. This study of financial and nonfmancial disclosure practices analyzes the influence that culture, firm size, and foreign sales might have over the information that companies choose to place on the web. Using over one hundred and fifty company websites across seven different countries, I developed a list of financial and nonfmancial disclosure categories to evaluate each company website. Statistical tests provide evidence that cultural variables, such as the degree of masculinity and individualism, as well as total sales volume have a significant influence over levels of nonfmancial …

Probing The Capabilities Of Copper Complexes With Nitrogen And Sulfur Containing Macrocyclic Ligands As Aziridination Catalysts, Jonathan Natkin
Probing The Capabilities Of Copper Complexes With Nitrogen And Sulfur Containing Macrocyclic Ligands As Aziridination Catalysts, Jonathan Natkin
Honors Theses
Aziridines are three-membered rings containing one nitrogen atom. They are useful as synthetic intermediates in many organic reactions. Much work has been devoted to synthesizing their analogs, cyclopropanes and epoxides, but little work has been done on the aziridination reaction. This study endeavored to probe the efficiencies of novel copper aziridination catalysts with N3 and S3 macrocyclic ligands compared to an NS2 analog for the reaction with the nitrene precursor (N-(paratosylsulfonyl) imino)phenyliodinane, PhINTs, and the olefin styrene. The nitrogen containing catalyst complex gave higher yields than the sulfur containing catalyst complex. Both ligands were found to decrease the yield of …
Endless Challenges: A History Of Student Housing At The University Of Mississippi, Clayton Anderson James
Endless Challenges: A History Of Student Housing At The University Of Mississippi, Clayton Anderson James
Honors Theses
The history of student housing at the University of Mississippi is one of endless challenges. Ranging from periodic room shortages to declining institutional concern for the needs of student housing, these challenges have shaped the lives of students who live on campus through today. Though these challenges have varied in source and nature over the years, they still confront administrators, faculty, staff, and most of all students, many of whom address these issues on a daily basis. In the earliest years of the University, student housing was an important part of the campus, and it was recognized as such by …
Teaching Ethics At The Primary Level, Joseph R. Sanok
Teaching Ethics At The Primary Level, Joseph R. Sanok
Honors Theses
Over the last century, the teaching of ethics in primary schools has changed greatly. The greatest influence upon public schools has been the shift in parents' attitudes towards teaching ethics in the school setting. Parents have progressively wanted to have more control over their child's ethical learning, thus becoming more critical of the teaching of ethics within public schools. This has led to greater input from parents. Christian ethics had long been the yardstick for ethical teachings, although in 1962 in the Engel v. Vitale case, school prayer was ruled unconstitutional, removing Christian views from the school setting. As a …

Three parts of language are examined: vocabulary, written language, and methods of communication. Previous results are expanded upon through research tools including cultural films and results from both a survey and a focus group. The discussion of findings is concluded with suggestions for further research.
Determination Of The Wavelength Dependence On The Metal Catalyzed Degradation Of The Herbicide Atrazine, Timothy Bertram
Determination Of The Wavelength Dependence On The Metal Catalyzed Degradation Of The Herbicide Atrazine, Timothy Bertram
Honors Theses
Since the advent of modern herbicide use in the early twentieth century, researchers have been plagued with the obvious problem of herbicide disposal. Most herbicides are specifically designed to resist natural degradation processes so that they can remain effective in the field for a substantial amount of time. In addition, they are also made water soluble so that they can be easily applied to crops. Finally, they are specifically produced to kill undesirable plant species in the quickest and often crudest fashions. Due to these specific properties herbicides pose a general threat to other organisms living in the same geographic …
Environmental Effects Of Economic Sanctions: The Cuban Experience, Amanda Carucci
Environmental Effects Of Economic Sanctions: The Cuban Experience, Amanda Carucci
Honors Theses
Cuba has pervaded U.S. consciousness for several decades. For nearly fifty years the United States has continuously threatened and feared one of our closest neighbors. Lawmakers have fretted over the stubbornness of its communist leadership. Though the longevity and persistence of Fidel Castro's rule might be an understandable concern for U.S. policyrnakers, there are several other issues apparent within the island which are certainly worthy of our attention. The highways are adorned with colorful billboards praising the communist government and Fidel Castro exudes pride and confidence during each of his public appearances. Yet beneath this poorly constructed veneer, the country …
Anger And Reconciliation: Relations Between The United States And India, 1953-1956, Tom Donahue
Anger And Reconciliation: Relations Between The United States And India, 1953-1956, Tom Donahue
Honors Theses
When Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected President of the United States in 1952, America held its breath to see how a Republican administration would handle the Cold War. By 1952, due particularly to the costs of the Korean conflict, enthusiasm for President Harry Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson's policy of "containment" of Communism reached new lows. Eisenhower had been elected with a mandate from the citizenry: to get tough on communism. The candidate and his advisers were determined to prove to the Communists that the United States had rurned over a new leaf. There would be no more …

A Survey Of The Macroscopic Fungi Of The Lula Lake Land Trust, Jocelyn M. De Guzman
Honors Theses
I conducted a survey of the macroscopic fungi in an area designated as Chestnut Orchard #1 of the Lula Lake Land Trust from May 29, 1999 to March 8, 2000. The purpose of the survey centered on making a comprehensive list of the fleshy fungi to serve as baseline data of the fungal diversity contained on this experimental chestnut plot. The fieldwork resulted in a collection of 139 sporocarp specimens, comprising 17 families, 38 genera, 63 species and, as of yet, approximately 30 unidentified specimens. Some of the specimens collected were also determined to be edible, thus offering a possible …

The Botetourt Dragoons In War And Peace, Michael G. Henkle
The Botetourt Dragoons In War And Peace, Michael G. Henkle
Honors Theses
This thesis studies a Confederate cavalry company from the immediate prewar years through the war, ending with the death of one of its last members. Most soldiers were residents of Botetourt County, Virginia. The study focuses upon both the men themselves and the battles in which they fought. Letters, diaries, and postwar accounts reveal their thoughts. After the war, many took an active role in both veterans' affairs and their community by joining veteran camps and participating in politics. Near the end, many received pensions or stayed in old soldiers' homes.
