A Comparative Study Of Teacher Prepared And Commercially Purchased Transparencies In Industrial Arts Education, Larry J. Yetter

Theses and Dissertations

Most graphic arts laboratories in Industrial Arts Teacher Education Programs are equipped with darkroom, process camera and offset printing equipment. The utilization of this equipment for the production of overhead transparencies could update instructional materials for industrial arts courses.

Several processes for producing overhead transparencies were investigated by means of a documentary study of educational and industrial literature. The information gathered was then studied and experimentation was conducted to determine the feasibility of producing single color and multicolor transparencies in the graphic arts laboratory of the Industrial Arts Department.

The results of this study provided the following:

North Dakota And The Korean War, 1950-1951: A Study In Public Opinion, Michael R. Sponberg

Theses and Dissertations

Frequently one hears reference to North Dakota the "isolationist state." Indeed, North Dakota's vociferous opposition to World Wars I and II and its Senator Gerald P. Nye's investigations of the munitions industry all warrant the description of North Dakota as an isolationist state. But what of the cold war period when the enemy was Asiatic rather than European? This study of the first year of the Korean War is an attempt to determine what North Dakotans thought about fighting a war in Asia.

The press which had been divided over the involvement of the United States in earlier wars now …

Social Structure Of Small Mammal Populations At The National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, R. Lynn Speth

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation examined the social structure of four species of small mammals (Perognathus parvus (Peale), Reithrodontomys megalotis (Baird), Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner), and Dipodomys ordi (Woodhouse) at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho. An understanding of the social structure provides ecological clues concerning the integration of interactions, reproduction, distributions, densities, and diel activities for not only one animal and species, but for a complex of animals interacting with each other.
