Soviet International Law : Theory And Practice, Rozanne D. Oliver
Soviet International Law : Theory And Practice, Rozanne D. Oliver
Honors Theses
After World War II, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics became a "Great Power," surpassed in might by only the United States. The foreign policy of the Soviet Union now exerts a tremendous influence on the international scene, making the study of Soviet policies a "must" for the student of international affairs. The question of the role of international law in the foreign relations of the U.S.S.R. is an interesting and important one. Are changes in the international system reflected in Soviet views of international law? Have the Soviet theories had significant impacts on the actions of other states? To …
New Forms Of Heterosexual Marriage And Mating, Robert Lundy
New Forms Of Heterosexual Marriage And Mating, Robert Lundy
Honors Theses
One third to one half of marriages are destined to end in a divorce court. However, in the de jure system or orders, monogamous marriage is the only accepted form with sexual behavior limited thereto. The nuclear family is the economic and residential unit. The expectation is that the marriage should last for the lifetime of the spouses, although increasingly there are provisions for exceptional cases termed failure. Other popular expectations are that the woman will be the socializing agent and the male will be the economic agent. This thesis explores the changing nature of families and marriage.

An Evaluation Of Roadside Litter, Rex Moreland Terry
An Evaluation Of Roadside Litter, Rex Moreland Terry
Honors Theses
In a society in which issues such as environmental protection, cleaner air and cleaner water are receiving increasing verbosity, the time appears ripe for a factual analysis of a too-little thought of problem connected with these issues--the problem of litter on the nation's highways.
Although only a fraction of total waste, littler constitutes the most visible waste since it is ever-present on our nation's increasingly traveled highways. Society has begun to look more critically at the litter problem. There have been clean-up campaigns, roadside barrels, signs warning the motorist of the impending penalty for littering; but the problem remains. These …
Cataloging Of Audio-Visual Equipment, Tanna Murry
Cataloging Of Audio-Visual Equipment, Tanna Murry
Honors Theses
For my Honors Special Study, I decided to catalog the audio-visual equipment that belongs to the Educational Department. I feel this project was a benefit not only to me but also to the Department. While I gained some much needed experience in cataloging equipment, the Educational department gained two complete records of its audio-visual equipment--one for the Media Lab and one for the Curriculum Lab. The cards contain the serial numbers of the audio-visual equipment to serve as a means of identification. Also both instructors and students of education will now be able to tell at a glance what equipment …
Hallucinations Induced By Sensory Deprivation: Fact Or Fiction?, Larry M. Latham
Hallucinations Induced By Sensory Deprivation: Fact Or Fiction?, Larry M. Latham
Honors Theses
Ancient mediators, ascetics, and others on religious quests deliberately withdrew from all sensory experience and even transcended awareness of their own body in order to open up the "inner rooms of the house of mind."
Experimenters of the modern era have attempted to analyze the various forms of hallucinations that have occurred under such "mysterious" circumstances. Contemporary sensory deprivation situations have yielded results which correspond very closely to the transcendentalism of the ancient mystics. However, the scientists of today have various means of complex experimentation available. Thus, hallucinations are no longer the mystical experiences of transcendentalists--hallucinations can be explained through …
The Stereotyped Image Of Mental Illness And How It Can Be Eliminated, Larry Latham
The Stereotyped Image Of Mental Illness And How It Can Be Eliminated, Larry Latham
Honors Theses
One out of every ten people in the United States will at some time be hospitalized for a mental illness. Billions of dollars each year are spent on books about personal adjustment. Mental illness is not something that the public can be ignorant about.
This paper is concerned with understanding why the public views mental disorders as it does, and how a more optimistic perception can be attained.
A Comparative Study Of The Truth In Lending Act, Robert R. Riggins
A Comparative Study Of The Truth In Lending Act, Robert R. Riggins
Honors Theses
Less than two generations ago America discovered mass production. Scarcely one generation ago America discovered mass distribution. In the present generation America is discovering mass finance. But since this adage was written, some forty years ago, America has rapidly progressed out of the discovery stage--it is not well into the application stage.
While many people may regard consumer credit as a relatively new concept, such is not the case. It probably began in the United States early in the nineteenth century (a few years after it was initiated in England), but it has only in recent years acquired such a …
