Property Tax Ellort In Eastern Kentucky Counties: Implications Lor Financing Public Services, Douglas Dotterweich

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

The eastern portion of Kentucky has long had insufficient tax revenues available to provide quality public services for local residents. Frequently, the response by legislators and others within the region has been to request additional resources from the state and federal levels of government for service provision. Particularly in present times of limited resources, the higher units of government would do well to ask the question: "Is this region truly poor, or are its residents simply unwilling to tax themselves at the same level as the rest of the state?" The purpose of this report is to provide a method …

The Involvement Of Nebraska Vocational Education Secondary School Advisory Councils In The Preparation Of The Local Plan For Vocational Education, Roy D. Dillon

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

With passage of the 1976 Vocational Education Amendments, PL 94-482, local schools were required to establish an advisory council or councils to enable lay persons to have input into decisions regarding the local secondary vocational education program. This policy was established on the rationale that local citizens have a right and responsibility to assist in the decisions concerning which clientele groups will be served by the local school, and what knowledges these persons should receive.

The State Advisory Council for Vocational Education, in an effort to fulfill one of its responsibilities, asked that a statewide status study be conducted to …

The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Four-day-old Vantress x Arbor Acre chicks were tested for key-peck passive avoidance (PA) learning following intraperitoneal injections of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) and/or scopolamine. In Experiment 1, chicks were pre-treated with either three or five injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline across the first three posthatch days and then tested for PA learning on the fourth posthatch day. In Experiment 2, chicks were first pre-treated with three injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline, and then injected with either scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg) or saline 20 rain prior to PA testing on the fourth posthatch day. Major findings were: (a) Chicks pre-treated …

Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Four-day-old Vantress × Arbor Acre chicks were first trained to key-peck for heat reinforcement and then tested for passive avoidance learning following an intraperitoneal injection of atropine sulfate or saline. Chicks injected with 1.0 mg/kg of atropine responded more quickly than saline-injected chicks when their key-peck responses were punished with aversive wing-shocks. These findings, therefore, are consistent with the view that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in inhibitory behavior in the young domestic chick.

The Lchthyofauna Of The Big Sandy River Basin, With Special Emphasis On The Levisa Fork Drainage, Jerry F. Howell Jr.

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

A literature and regional repository review of the Big Sandy Basin ichthyofouno yielded 111 confirmed species, including 93 from Leviso Fork and its tributaries. Twenty-nine additional species were added to the lost published comprehensive review (Jenkins et al., 1972); one species was not re-confirmed. The 111 forms (108 confirmed or probable) included 14 known or suspected introductions and 20 species (including 12 recently collected from Leviso Fork) with special Kentucky Nature Preserves Commission status codes.

An Analysis Of Population Changes In Eastern Kentucky 1970-2000, Gary C. Cox

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Accurate population projections are essential for anyone engaged in long-range planning. Predicting future population trends any considerable distance into the future, however, is a notoriously risky undertaking. So many human variables are involved that all too frequently such projections make a mockery of the demographer's best efforts. Regardless of how sophisticated are the statistical models used, long-range population forcasting is statistical guessing with a fairly wide margin of error. Eastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia, in general, present an especially formidable challenge. Since the beginning of the 20th Century the economy of the region has been tied to one product, coal, …

Ldentificatlon .Of Factors Influencing Vocatlonal Agriculture Teachers To Leave Teaching, Roy D. Dillon

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

This study was undertaken in an effort to obtain objective data in as nonthreatening a manner as possible concerning the reasons why teachers quit. The 26 former teachers interviewed openly discussed why they chose another occupation, and were willing to rank their reasons. The reasons given and their ranking generally support the present job held by the respondents, as three of the top five factors listed most often related to farming and ranching. Seventeen of the 25 respondents were in farming and ranching.

This study, as well as other studies reviewed, points toward the need for continual follow-up of graduates. …

An Analysis Of Selected Factors Influencing Use Of Time By Forty Vocational Agriculture Instructors In Nebraska, Roy D. Dillon

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

Forty teachers of vocational agriculture in Nebraska worked an average of 2,652 hours per year, or 221 hours per month. About one-third of their time was used for teaching agriculture day classes, 11% for supervising Future Farmers of America (FFA) activities, 8% for curriculum planning, and 6% for supervising occupational experience programs. These four duty categories accounted for 56% of the time of the teachers.

Of the five program-oriented variables studied and being reported, none had significant influence on mean hours worked per month for the 40 teachers. There were, however, several significant differences found among groups on the ANOVA …
