Salary differentials by rank were studied at the University of Utah and Utah State University on a departmental basis. Multiple regression equations were developed from criteria at Utah State University which were used to predict individual salaries for professional staff members at the University of Utah. Thirteen of the fourteen multiple regression equations developed showed statistical significance at the .05 level and twelve departments were significant at the .01 level. Salary comparisons by rank were considerably reduced as a result of the department by department analysis.

The Design Workshop Archives and Digital Collection offer a unique opportunity for analysis of the archival process for landscape architecture collections. The goal of this project was to analyze the format of landscape architecture archive collections and design protocol for the creation of the Design Workshop Archives and Digital Collection. A review of best practices and experimentation has guided the appraisal and accessioning of four of Design Workshop’s Legacy Projects. The integration of a digital collection gathered from physical drawings, paper manuscripts, and computer files offers unique opportunities to establish standards and procedures for the creation of an archive at a university campus. The collaboration of professionals, archivists, and landscape architecture staff to create the archives has proven to be useful in many ways. The result is a manual composed of a review of best practices along with an account of the accessioning process undertaken in the creation of this new collection. Scholarly review of the archives evidenced the need for an altered approach to the archiving process in order to support the creation of the digital collection and the quantity of project material. Additional measures were created to appropriately represent and preserve the unique visual components of the works.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a clothing construction waiver test at Utah State University so it can become a better predictor of student past experience and future performance. The original test and a revised test, written by the investigator, were used as the instrument. The subjects included two groups of students --those who had taken the Basic Clothing Construction Course at Utah State University and those who had not taken the course. The results indicate that there is a difference between the knowledge of the students who have and have not taken the course. lt was also indicated that those students who waived the course had knowledge similar to those students who had taken the course and which those students who had not taken the course lacked. It was found that there was a positive correlation between number of years of junior high and high school clothing construction experience and test scores. The correlation between 4-H club clothing experience and test scores was not found to be significant. An item-analysis of the test revealed that many items were poor discriminators. The test was found to be quite reliable. Further evaluation and revision of the test is needed.

The Department of the Military Science at Utah State University was created in 1898 and is the oldest department at USU. Until the mid-1950s it was mandatory that all male students be enrolled in Military training at the school and, if they so decided, would finish up the last two years of military training to become officers in the United States Military. This program is known as ROTC. Fully implemented at USU in 1916 the ROTC program continued to grow and would help fund the growth of campus during the 1920’s and 30’s. Following World War II the program became the largest ROTC unit in the nation and was nicknamed “West Point of the West”. The school produced more officers than any other college besides the Military Academy at West Point. The documentary film that I made follows the history of Utah State University from its founding in 1888 to the modern day research University of today. Using interviews of past and current ROTC cadets as well as the experts on the history of USU and ROTC, the film weaves the history of the expansion of the USU campus and the role that the Army ROTC unit had in the school’s development. Much of my research was done in special collections at the USU library where many of the photos for the film were found. Some of my research took me to the National Archives and the Library of Congress which proved to be invaluable when finding early military photos and documents. A total budget cost of USD$10,000 was spent on camera gear, travel expenses, drone footage, and digital storage solutions. The film was fully funded, written, shot, edited, and finished by myself and took 1 ½ years to make from start to finish. The end result is a 53-minute documentary delivered on a Blu Ray disk, the film is also accessible to the public via online streaming.

A survey was performed to compare basic health education knowledge between sophomore students at Utah State University and sophomore students at the University of Utah . This was performed through the use of a questionnaire consisting of 40 questions covering the following eight areas of prominence in health education: 1. Alcohol and tobacco 2. Community health and communicable disease 3. Consumer health 4. Drugs and narcotics 5. Food fads and medical quackery 6. Mental health 7. Personal health 8. Sex education This questionnaire was administered through the mail to 250 randomly selected students at the two universities. When responses were received they were scored and keypunched on IBM-5080 cards . The cards were then processed through the IBM-350 Model 44 computer using Analysis of Variance and the Quest Program. Computation of student "T 11 scores verified that students at the University of Utah were superior in health knowledge at the .05 level of significance based on the one tailed test. The University of Utah last year required a basic health education class of all freshmen . At Utah State University such a class is not required or even offered. The f act that University of Utah students were superior verified that positive learning of health education did increase through specific instruction.

Shortwave solar radiation was measured in the late winter of 1967 by means of actinographs below the canopy of two lodgepole pine stands, one thinned and the other unthinned, in northern Utah. Observations were made at four randomly selected stations in each stand and at one station in a large clearing. Radiation available below the thinned and unthinned stands was compared, and radiation in the open was compared with radiation beneath each stand. Nearly a ll differences between stands were significant as were the differences between each stand and the open area. A close correlation was shown between total radiation in the open and total radiation beneath forest stands. It was concluded that the radiation beneath either the thinned or the unthinned stand was above the minimum (ca. 10 percent of full sunlight) required for adequate reproduction of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir.
