In recognition of this unprecedented challenge, does the curriculum of the teacher education program of secondary school teachers at the College of the Pacific meet the needs of its candidates? Does the secondary teacher education program adequately equip them to make their place in the secondary schools of today? Are they prepared academically and professionally? Are they prepared for community leadership? It is in an attempt to determine how completely the secondary teacher education program of College of the Pacific meets the needs of its graduates that the School of Education of the College of the Pacific has undertaken this study. Hence, this study will attempt to portray the effectiveness of the secondary teacher education program at the College of the Pacific in meeting the needs of its candidates academically, professionally, and in community leadership. In order to determine the effectiveness of this teacher education program, the study will analyze: (1) The education and professional status of the College of the Pacific secondary teacher education graduates.; (2) Guidance in the secondary teacher education program at the College of the Pacific.; (3) The academic education of the secondary teacher education program graduates of the College of the Pacific.; (4) The professional education of the secondary teacher education graduates of the College of the Pacific.; (5) The participation of the secondary teacher education graduates of the College of the Pacific in community activities in the community in which he teaches.

There has been much concern as to the validity of the Graduate Record Examination in determining the ability of a student to do effective graduate work. Some hold that the Profile score is a necessary index of a person’s ability to do graduate work, while others believe there is no close relationship between the two There is also a feeling that students who have been out of school for many years are at a disadvantage when taking the Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests, and that some departments prepare their students better for the tests. The lack of agreement as stated above led to the following problems: (1) What relationship is there between a student’s grade-point average and this total score on the Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests?; (2) What apparent variations are there between the scores of men and women; the scores of students majoring in the departments of education, history, literature, fine arts, psychology, and science; and the number of years since receiving the A.B. in relation to the scores obtained on Graduate Record Examination Profile Tests?

The purpose of this thesis is to present a systematic view of Henze’s stylistic characteristics in areas of form, melodic material and series, rhythm and meter, harmony, texture, and orchestration. The wide range of style exhibited by Henze will be brought to light in this study. Mention of certain stylistic traits in common with other well-known composers, such as Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinsky, and Bartok will be made. Finally, the thesis will show that Henze does not adhere to any strict principle of music composition but allows rather his own innate musical sense and desire for expression to guide him.

In choosing a subject for a thesis in the Vergilian Bimillennium, it was only natural and fitting that the choice should fall in the field of Vergil. The difficulty lay in selecting a particular locality of the field that had not been especially explored by the many Vergil admirers. Friendships and Family Ties seemed to have been treated by no writer under such a title nor to have been discussed at length in any book or article. Here was presented an opportunity to renew my acquaintance with Vergil through a more intimate and thoughtful study of his poems and to search out from the numerous books on the general subject of Vergil what conclusions other writers had reached and to follow the line of through of the contemporary Latin scholars, who were contributing to the current literature of the Vergilian year. I was perhaps fortunate in finding that no one has treated the subject at any great length, for it required more serious thought on my part; my interest grew with the task; it was fascinating to piece together the little bits and make a unified whole.

The life of Heinrich Heine presents many contradictions. He was a militant Hebrew who never held to the tenets of the Jewish faith, a Christian who admired Jesus, but despised the dogmas of Christianity, a German who loved his country with all his heart but became a voluntary expatriate. In addition, he was a poet who could rise to the very heights or lyricism, but then offend his readers with an outburst of mockery or blasphemy. With a mind so tormented, and a character so complex, it is no wonder that his writings present so many conflicting views. Only one positive trait stands out bravely and convincingly, which gives color and direction to all his writings; his love of freedom, political and intellectual and his hatred of tyranny, in the state and in the Church.

The Drosophila genome is thought to have five recA like proteins: Rad51B, Rad51C, Rad51D, XRCC2 and XRCC3. In Drosophila Rad51/SpnA, XRCC3/SpnB, and Rad51 C/SpnD participate in homologous recombination repair. The function of DmRad51 D and DmXRCC2 are unknown. The goal of this project was to elucidate the function ofXRCC2 in Drosophila. RNA interference allowed us to knockdown the function XRCC2 and its possible binding partner Rad51D. It was seen the knocking down the function of either XRCC2 or Rad51D does not affect the viability of the fly. However, drug treatment data does not allow us to make any conclusions about how the knockdown ofXRCC2 affects the viability of the fly. RNA in-situ hybridization shows highly intricate and complex branching patterns for XRCC2, which resembles the embryonic tracheal system. Lastly, XRCC2 was purified to generate an antibody made to recognize the XRCC2 protein will help localize the XRCC2 protein in future studies as well as determine protein-protein interactions with XRCC2.

The purpose of this thesis is to show how the music of “The Masque of Angels” articulates and supports the drama. The various musical techniques which make the complete composition will be examined to show how the composer draws them into one statement and proves himself the dramatist. The effect of the music on the text and that of the text on the musical construction is investigated to gain a clearer concept of the composer’s intent and the opera’s value to the twentieth century listener.

The Modesto Irrigation District is located on the eastern side of the Great Valley about half way from North to South. The Great Valley is really two distinct river valleys further divided by lesser stream valleys. The Sacramento River Valley is about 500 miles long and forms the northern half; and the San Joaquin Valley is about 350 miles long and forms the southern half. For many practical purposes local residents of this great Valley call it the Sac-Joaquin Valley. There are no hills or mountains to separate these valleys so we may consider them as one. The Sac-Joaquin Valley is almost ideal as far as irrigation is concerned. It is almost as flat as a table, dropping about 2-3 feet per mile toward the middle of the valley from the beginning of the valley proper westward to the Sacramento or San Joaquin River. The summers are long, hot, and cloudless; ideally suited to the ripening of tropic fruits.4 All the valley lacked was sufficient water. And the mountains now furnish that. We shall consider the Modesto area as being the area north of the Tuolumne River to the Stanislaus River and from the San Joaquin River on the west to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By the early settlers this area was called Paradise Valley.2 A town of Paradise existed for a few years, having been laid out by a Mr. Jon Mitchell about 1867-683 It gave up and moved a few miles east into the new town of Modesto soon after the latter was started in 1870.4<68/sup> The Modesto Irrigation District now inclueds about 81,000 acres in the weatern part of this Paradise Valley.2 The land is almost flat, consisting of soils that are, as a whole, "light, the largest part of the area consisting of sandy loams and sands".3 The soil ideal for diversified agriculture, and it has now been proven that the soil types of Modesto District are best adapted to the applicaton of irrigation.4

The purposes of this study was to determine the extent to which current University of the Pacific campus recreational opportunities meet student recreational interests. The following sub purposes were established: (1) To determine the available recreational opportunities on campus, or in connection with the campus.; (2) To evaluate student participation in the current recreational opportunities.; (3) To determine the recreational opportunities students would desire to see on campus, other than that which is currently offered.
