The Congressional Phase Of The Military Budget, 1961: A Study In Civil Military Relations, Leland E. Hall

Masters Theses

Introduction

Civilian control of the military in the United States is widely conceived to be Congressional control. The ultimate goal of Congressional procedures is believed to be the "effective Congressional--and civilian--control of the military establishment."¹ It is questionable, however, if the United States Constitution intends Congress to be the instrument that exercises civilian control of the military.

Comparison Of Alcohol Offenses Of College Students With Those Of Persons In A Similar Age Group Who Have Not Had College Experience, Cornelis Laban

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to·make· a comparison of the drunk driving behavior of college students with that· of those persons in a similar age group who have not had college experience. There is very little published information about the statutes governing "driving under the influence of liquor" (D.U.I.L.). The educable nature of persons involved in such offenses 8 and the probable anti-social and sociopathic behavior in individuals leading up to the offenses, also need thorough investigation. Very pertinent also is the question whether or not there is a biological basis for this particular behavior; an understanding of …

A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz

Masters Theses

Introduction

The term figural after-effect refers to the spatial displacement of a visual figure induced by the inspection of a prior figure. In the figural after-effect paradigm, an observer fixates on a figure called the inspection figure for some time. Fixation is then shifted to a test figure. Any spatial displacement in the test (second) figure is termed the figural after-effect. Generally, maximal figural after-effects are attained with 60 second inspection followed immediately by short test figure exposure (Hammer, 1949; Graham, 1951; Krauskopf, 1954; Parducci and Brookshire, 1956; Sagara and Oyama, 1957; and Kohler and Wallach, 1944). This study is …

Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality, Jean Carpenter

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The problem of alcoholism is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Today it ranks world-wide as a major public health problem. Yet, constructive study and research on the subject did not gain much momentum until about 1935.

With the organization of Alcoholism Anonymous in 1935, the awareness of the problem spread, fanwise, throughout the fields of religion, medicine, and psychiatry. Alcohol had once presented a baffling and seemingly unanswerable enigma. But now there was a glimmering of hope in each of these separate fields that the answers might lie within its own particular …

An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma

Masters Theses

Experimenters have used the inverted "T" to illustrate the horizontal-vertical illusion for many years. This illusion is characterized by the subject perceiving the horizontal line as shorter than the vertical line.

Credit is usually given to Fick (1851) for being first to call attention to the discrepancy between horizontal and vertical estimates. He demonstrated this by visually noticing that a bright square on a dark background looks like an oblong object. Hicks (1906) stated that Oppel was the first person to actually investigate the horizontal-vertical illusion.

The classical theory generally states that an equal length vertical line in a "T" …

Beliefs And Attitudes Of Recent High School Graduates On The Subject Of Beverage Alcohol, Francis E. Chape

Masters Theses

Introduction

During recent years, many investigations concerning the teen-ager and beverage alcohol have been carried out. A survey of the available literature on this subject revealed that most of the studies have been made to determine the attitudes toward drinking and the drinking behavior of this age group. These studies, Maddox¹ states, provide "The basis for generalizations about drinking in high school which are more substantial than impressionistic guesses."

Generalizations, however, have not been limited to drinking behavior alone. Alcohol education programs, required by law in every state in the union,² have received much criticism in recent times. …

A Study Of The Latvian Exile-Immigrant Group In Kalamazoo, Henry George Halla

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

Statement of the Problem

The general purpose of this study is to determine whether such families in the Latvian population of Kalamazoo as insist upon considering themselves exiles and refuse to accept their immigrant status are less acculturated and assimilated than are such families that accept their immigrant status regardless of the fact that their original emigration from Latvia was a departure into exile. Also this study proposes to determine what social, cultural, economic and other variables are associated with each of the two types of families.

The Relationship Of Union Attitude To Work Performance, Donald Leo Wass

Masters Theses

Present-day management is aware of the high work-output characteristic of some “rugged individualists" who have "anti- union" sentiments. Studies concerning individuals classified as "ratebusters” have been made by Dalton (4) and by Roethlisberger and Dickson (5). The higher production efficiency of the “ratebuster" is discussed along with the increased personnel problems related to these workers. Because of anti-union sentiments, the “ratebuster” can have a disruptive effect on the labor force as a whole.

The worker with strong pro- union sentiments has received very little attention in the literature. It is probable that present-day management classifies this worker as an undesirable …

Keys To Professional Information For Teachers, Roy C. Bryan

Faculty Contributions (1950-1981)

One is well aware that graduate students, in the earlier days of their advanced study, tend to be wasteful of their time and effort. Much of this waste is caused by the fact that they have little knowledge of the library keys and indexes that will aid them in locating references quickly and assembling bibliographies that are pertinent to their papers and projects.

This publication is designed to provide that much n needed assistance. The materials contained herein, admittedly, do not include every key and index that is now available. However, the School of Graduate Studies is convinced that those …
