A Meta-Analytic Investigation Of The Effect Of Freshman Seminars On Student Attrition At Four Year Colleges And Universities, Raymond Brown

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Tinto (1975) theorized that for a student to complete his/her education, he/she must integrate socially as well as academically at the institution. Freshman seminars are designed to ease students into college life and provide them with skills to cope socially and academically, thereby paving the way for institutional integration and, ultimately, degree completion. Researchers at a number of institutions have evaluated the effectiveness of the freshman seminar at reducing freshman to sophomore year attrition. They have reported mixed results. Here, the literature addressing the efficacy of freshman seminars for reducing attrition is reviewed using meta-analysis. The number of weekly contact …

A Compilation Of Published Records Of The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker In Texas: Voucher Specimens Versus Sight Records, Clifford E. Shackelford

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

I reviewed all published reports of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), including specimen and sight records from Texas. A total of 25 published records and two U. S. Biological Survey unpublished reports revealed three specimen records and 44 sight records. Also, a sound voucher of the "double-knock" of a presumed Ivory-bill in Texas appears on an album of bird songs. This compilation reveals additional reports not published in Oberholser (1974), which is considered to be the main source of historical data for Texas. The intent of this paper, many decades later, is not to determine the validity of each sight …

Populations And Habitat Requirements Of Breeding Henslow's Sparrows In Harris County, Texas, Keith A. Arnold, Nick C. Garza Jr.

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

We studied the small breeding population of Henslow's Sparrow in Han·is County, Texas, in 1980 and 1981. Color-marked sparrows allowed us to determine territory sizes and early and late dates for the presence of this population. We also characterized the vegetation of the sparrow territories. Invasion of Chinese tallow (Sapiwn sebiferwn) and red imported fire ants likely played important roles in the extinction of this isolated population.

"Lest We Forget": The History Of Mercer Law Review, Charles R. Adams Iii

Mercer Law Review

It was one of those rare, perfect, early fall afternoons that occasionally favors middle Georgia. The stultifying heat of the 1948 summer had finally broken, and outside the open windows in the newly-cleared attic space on the third floor of the Ryals Law Building, the sky was the deepening color of blue that holds the promise of cooler weather and falling leaves. Inside, the air was still, but the atmosphere was electric with energy and a measure of tension. The group of students assembled there, led by Bill Tyson, were about to try something new and different in Mercer University …

The Georgia Home Rule System, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Mercer Law Review

Few doctrines attract more universal acclaim than local government "home rule"; even fewer possess a more convoluted heritage or content. As for heritage, difficulty inheres in locating a point of origin, for "home rule has roots deep in Anglo-American political history." As for content, imprecision begins with terminology itself, for "in point of fact the term has never been given legal definition and can scarcely be regarded as a term of our law at all."

Of the appellate cases decided during the survey period, eighteen are digested here. While the legislature continued to focus on the collection of child support, the appellate courts tackled a wide range of issues.

Real Property, T. Daniel Brannan, William J. Sheppard

Mercer Law Review

This Article surveys case law and legislative developments in Georgia law of real property during the period from June 1, 1997 to May 31, 1998. The cases and statutes discussed in this Article were chosen for their significance to practitioners in Georgia, and not every case decided or statute passed during the survey period is mentioned. Of particular note, in one case decided during the survey period, the Georgia Court of Appeals clarified the reach of the Commercial Real Estate Broker Lien Act by defining what services will support the filing and foreclosure of a broker's lien under the statute

Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, Daniel C. Kniffen, Katherine D. Dixon, Marion H. Martin

Mercer Law Review

The 1997-98 survey period was marked by a relatively calm legislative session with respect to workers' compensation, in sharp contrast to the significant legislation that has reshaped the Georgia's Workers' Compensation Act this decade. As usual, however, the appellate courts were active in the workers' compensation arena, issuing decisions over a broad range of issues. In particular, significant rulings affected change in condition cases, the intoxication defense, and the ongoing issue of psychological injury.
