The Constituency Of Coya Knutson, 1954, Gretchen Urnes Beito

Theses and Dissertations

Women rarely seek political office and even more rarely achieve the office they seek. Only one woman has been elected to Congress from Minnesota or its adjacent states--Coya Knutson from the rural Ninth District in 1954 and 1956. While legal barriers to women's participation in politics have been abolished, personal and institutional barriers remain. How Coya Knutson overcame these obstacles--and the penalties she paid for doing so--is the subject of this paper.

Coya Gjesdal Knutson grew to maturity on a successful North Dakota farm, where she learned the value of hard work and perseverance. After completing four years at Concordia …

Changing Land Use In The Rural-Urban Fringe: A Case Study Of Southwest Grand Forks, Jane M. Wilson

Theses and Dissertations

Between 1954 and 1980 significant changes took place in southwest Grand Forks. The predominant land use in 1954 was cultivated cropland, which covered 80.5 percent of the total study area. By 1980 cropland had declined to 26.7 percent of the total, with urban land uses such as single family residential, strip development and shopping center making significant increases. As the area became urbanized, problems devel oped. In 1979 the English Coulee unexpectedly flooded, damaging homes and the acute care hospital in the study area. In 1981 developers owed $2.4 million in delinquent special assessments.

In order to describe the land …

Mabel Seely: The Development Of Her Mysteries, Jeanne Mcleod Hoversten

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is an analysis of Mabel Seeley's nine mysteries, written between 1938 and 1957. The mysteries are: The Listening House, Girl Is Strangled (unpublished), The Crying Sisters, The Whispering Cup, The Chuckling Fingers , Eleven Came Back, The Beckoning Door, The Whistling Shadow, and Mischief Afoot (unpublished). The purpose of this analysis is to determine if there is a development in Seeley's writing from mystery to mystery, and to see if a specific formula emerges in the mysteries. The method of evaluation consists of comparing and contrasting the mysteries with each other, looking at: the structure of plot, the …

"Over The Horizon Of The Years": Laura Ingalls Wilder And The Little House Books, Janet Spaeth

Theses and Dissertations

"'Over the Horizon of the Years': Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House Books" consists of five essays, each of which focuses on an aspect of Wilder's writing which has been overlooked in critical analyses of her writing. The title is taken from the ending of The First Four Years: "'it is better farther on' . . . over the horizon of the years ahead." "Horizon" is a key word in a study of the Little House series, for Wilder had to examine the horizon behind her to write the books, which are autobiographical fiction, while projecting the optimism contained …

The Interpretation Of Dostoevsky's Crime And Punishment As It Applies To A Philosophy Of Leadership For The Educator/Administrator, Fereshteh Nazerzadeh Kermani Gransar

Theses and Dissertations

The present study has aimed to explore and uncover educational leadership insights which exist in Feodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. This study involves four major parts: a relatively comprehensive literature review, important aspects of the study areas, main disciplinary concepts, and the general status of the knowledge in this area.

Dostoevsky was fascinated by man. He once wrote: "Man is mystery. This mystery must be solved, and even if you pass your entire life solving it, do not say you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man."1

His master work, …

The Scouting Difference: Development, Direction, And Evaluation Of A Documentary Film, Kirk E. Strickland

Theses and Dissertations

There is a need for supplemental reference material of an in-depth, specific nature to suggest methods of general application to the novice film director.

This study will provide insight into the practical role of the film director in motion picture production. In this way, this study can influence directorial practice in a positive manner by offering a forewarning of potential production challenges and help the novice to avoid …

Is There A Significant Relationship Between Teacher Credibility And Teacher Effectiveness?, Blake D. Madsen

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis was designed to determine if a significant relationship exists between credibility and effectiveness in seminary teachers.
Teacher credibility was determined by an adaptation of McCroskey's semantic differential scales used for measuring teacher credibility. Teacher effectiveness was determined by a matching scripture test.
Chi square tests produced significant relationships between teacher credibility and the following: student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. The tests also produced significant relationships between teacher effectiveness and these variables: sex, student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. These relationships largely were what one would expect. The chi square test also produced a significant relationship …

The Communicational Function Of Wearing Apparel For Lady Missionaries Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Alice W. Buehner

Theses and Dissertations

Because the need exists for a professional image among lady missionaries, this thesis will define what knowledge concerning communication of clothing is necessary in order to create a desirable image of professionalism. The term "professional" is derived from available research describing the most appropriate attire for women business executives. In lieu of an experimental study by this author, the interpretation of the professional look is supported by Molloy's extensive research on women's wearing apparel. His research shows that beyond a doubt, the skirted suit and blouse give women "a look of authority and a sense of presence in business." In …
