Principles Of Typography For The Screen, Tracy Glassman
Theses
For the past 500 years humans have been developing means of communication through the development of technology for producing and presenting pages of printed text to the reader. The idea of communicating with letters by the composition of a page grew from traditional manuscript writing of the 15th century to today's electronic portable document for the World Wide Web. But unlike the properties of ink on paper, computers, monitors and electronic documents pose many new and different problems which don't apply to paper. One of the major problems with viewing text on a monitor is resolution. Most monitors today have …
Wear, Design And Enjoy Clothing, Seung Baik
Wear, Design And Enjoy Clothing, Seung Baik
Theses
Many artists choose to combine metal and textile to execute their works. Metal elements are sewn, woven, and crocheted into garments, sculpture, ornament, or decoration because it fastens directly to fabric to make a richly creative and decorative effect. Also, the qualities of metal provide structural stiffness, weight, and light (reflection) to the fabric. I explored different ways of integrating metal and fiber into the fabric of woven yarn structures. "Using textile techniques in metal does not constitute a movement or a style."1 However, treating metal like fiber is an intriguing concept with flexible possibilities for the two different materials.

A Comparison Of Developmental Gains For Preschool Children With Disabilities In Integrated And Self-Contained Classrooms, Annette Holahan
Theses
The effects of classroom integration on the developmental and social growth of preschool children with disabilities was investigated on 15 pairs of children (n=30) matched for chronological age, sex, initial level of functioning, related services received, and attendance schedules. Progress was measured using the Brigance Diagnostic Inventory of Early Development. Results indicate that children functioning at a lower level of social and emotional functioning perform equally well in integrated and segregated settings while children functioning at a relatively higher level performed better in integrated settings than in segregated settings. No significant differences were found between the integrated and segregated groups …

Mother-Bereaved Women And Death Anxiety, Nicole Depriest Thompson
Theses
Death anxiety in mother-bereaved women versus women non mother-bereaved was investigated. Female graduate students and social service employees were taken from a non-random sample in the Midwest. There were 60 participants, 30 who were mother-bereaved and 30 who were non mother-bereaved. Participants were given the Templer Death Anxiety Scale and a demographic survey to complete. Dependent variables were the scores on the Templer Death Anxiety Scale. There was not a statistically significant difference in average death anxiety scores between mother-bereaved women and non mother-bereaved women. The ramifications of the results are discussed, and potential avenues for further research are suggested.

"Be Prepared." The Importance Of Crisis Planning In The Schools., Jill Elizabeth Pratt
Theses
More often there are events occurring in society that leave children in a crisis state which affects them both emotionally and intellectually. School staff are prominent figures in the lives of children, and must be both prepared and knowledgeable in order to help during times of crisis. School Psychologists, in particular, are specifically trained in counseling and consultation necessary for effective crisis intervention. School Psychologists must be the leaders in creating and implementing crisis intervention plans in the schools. The following project contains a literature review of crisis intervention, and a detailed crisis intervention plan for a small, rural district …
The Predictive Validity Of The Bender-Gestalt Test Emotional Indicators, Jeffrey Torch
The Predictive Validity Of The Bender-Gestalt Test Emotional Indicators, Jeffrey Torch
Theses
Although clinical reports of the predictive validity of the Emotional Indicators (El's) of the Bender-Gestalt Test (BGT) have been presented, objective research supporting these claims have been limited. This study investigated the validity of the El's on the BGT in predicting maladaptive behaviors of 23 elementary school children referred for psychoeducational evaluation. Several of the El's were related to the behavior factors of the Devereux Elementary School Behavior Rating Scale (DESBRS). Although projective implications of some El's were supported by their regression on DESBRS factors, few strong relationships were found. Implications and suggestions for future research will be discussed.

'Masks' is a body of work which explores the concept of mask in a variety of ways. Masks have been around since prehistoric times. Their use and development has a rich visual and cultural history, "masks' draws from this history both for inspiration and for direction. The other concept of mask investigated in this body of work, is mask-as-metaphor. The word "mask" does not simply mean an object which covers one's face. It also implies blocking something out, covering something up or hiding behind something. The mask of a building, body armor, the way we want things to be seen, …

The Effectiveness Of A Pre-First Grade Program On Later Academic Achievement, Betsey Grossman
The Effectiveness Of A Pre-First Grade Program On Later Academic Achievement, Betsey Grossman
Theses
Extra-year programs are widely used to help students who are deemed "unready" to master the curriculum of the next grade. This study investigated the academic effectiveness of a pre-first grade program in a suburban, predominantly Caucasian, upper middle class school system. Twenty-five matched pairs of children were selected for the study based on a readiness score on the Brigance K & 1 screening. Children who spent an extra year in pre-first grade were matched with youngsters who proceeded directly to the first grade based on gender, date of birth, and Brigance score. While no significant differences were found between the …
Conscious Visions, Masako Nitz
Conscious Visions, Masako Nitz
Theses
My goal in creating this body of work is to investigate narrative painting using images which are personally relevant. I have labeled my paintings as representations of personal allegories derived from memories and dreams, and in doing so I am referring to the transference of memory, and its inherently subjective and ambiguous visual images, into a concrete visual form. I also attach symbolic importance to the memories I have chosen to paint, not because the events they describe are hallmarks of my life, but rather for their random nature. These images all describe moments when I have consciously thought "I …
