The Effect Of Booktalking On Fiction Circulation Statistics, Melinda J. Quinn

Graduate Research Papers

Five monthly booktalk programs were presented to the eighth grade reading classes at BGM School. Circulation statistics for first semester of 1992 when these students were in seventh grade were compared to the circulation statistics for the same semester of their eighth grade year in 1993 to determine if the booktalks made a significant difference in this group's reading habits.

An analysis of the data using the chi-square test indicated no significant difference at the .05 level in the circulation statistics for paperback books, hard bound books or total volumes. It seemed, though, that the students reacted positively to the …

Mary Queen Of Scots: The Legend Continues, Shari A. Herlein

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The views expressed about the life of Mary Queen of Scots from the sixteenth century onwards by poets, dramatists, and historians have created a legend around her. These views will be compared and contrasted in this paper. The works selected for this paper reflect both ends of the spectrum: Mary as a political figure ("queen") or as a romantic figure ("woman"). The purposes of the first chapter are to introduce Mary Stuart and provide a historical context for specific episodes in her life. Mary's actions in England and Scotland led Edmund Spenser arranged Mary's crimes in allegorical form in order …

All of the compositions were written in the twentieth century and include Stan Friedman's Solus (1975), Chamber Music VII: Ceremonies for Trumpet and Piano (1984) by Robert Suderburg, the Caprice (1972) of Joseph Turrin, Five Poems of Emily Dickinson for Trumpet and Narrator (1978) by Jay Rizzetto, and three pieces by Dimitri Shostakovich-Romance from Ballet Suite no. 2 (1951) and two of his Three Fantastic Dances (1922). Because these works were composed …


Voices Unspoken And Unheard, Daniel Joseph Holman Jan 1994

Voices Unspoken And Unheard, Daniel Joseph Holman

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Art critic Donald Kuspit proposes for the future an art which is symbolic spiritual art, a communicative extension of silent painting, it must dramatize (respiritualize, revitalize) the forms it uses to make them spiritually convincing. It does this by fusing their eternal character with a worldly content that is shown to have mystical import, inner meaning. This interaction and reconciliation generates spiritual atmosphere. (Kuspit 319)

His proposal describes the direction of my work in the series of prints, Voices Unspoken and Unheard, images of a society dehumanized through pain and isolation. The stimulus for making this work originates in what …


Iowa's Wolf In Populist Clothing: Norman Baker, 1925-1936, Eric Scott Juhnke Jan 1994

Iowa's Wolf In Populist Clothing: Norman Baker, 1925-1936, Eric Scott Juhnke

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

During the depression years of the late 1920s and 1930s, Muscatine, Iowa's Norman Baker stood as both a powerful and controversial figure in rural eastern Iowa. Baker's successful business empire, which at its height included a radio station, mail order enterprise, newspaper, magazine, and a cancer quackery hospital, earned the Muscatine tycoon millions of dollars in revenue over the course of a decade. Despite this business success, Baker's brash personality, vituperative broadcasting style, and fraudulent medical claims were subjects of constant controversy.

Considering both Baker's suspect reputation and the poor agricultural conditions of the day, the question remains: How did …

Mindful Generations, Susan Wade Elster Jan 1994

Mindful Generations, Susan Wade Elster

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Mindful Generations is the term I have given to my creative process and my careful attention to the activity of painting and drawing. The result is a great number of small scale paintings and drawings assembled into two large installations. As an artist, I have observed in myself that the activity of making art has the ability to transform my mental, physical, and emotional states into a focused consciousness that transcends the need to relate to any concern outside the act of making art. Having realized this, I assigned myself the task of establishing a method or pattern of working …
