Ministers occupy a status-position within a social system that carries a well-defined set of cultural expectations about their roles. The membership of the minister’s church, the community at large, and the minister himself formulate ideas and expectations about the function of his roles. Whenever the minister performs his roles in a manner that is contrary to the expectations of the membership of his church or the community the result is a role discord. Role discord also occurs when the minister performs his roles in a way that contradicts his own self-image of his roles. Therefore, this thesis will have as its main objective the discovery of conflict which exists between the ideal expectations that the membership has of the minister’s roles and his self-concept of these roles; and to test hypotheses concerning this conflict.

Public Law 131-336, Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), is comprehensive legislation created with the intention of integrating the disable into the work place and every segment of society. Forty-three million Americans are disabled. Of these, twenty-three million seek employment, but because of discrimination are unable to find work. The law provides requirements for access to public accommodations. All disabled Americans deserve the opportunity to enjoy the same public services as the non-disabled. Businesses are now required to provide reasonable accommodations to a disabled employee if these accommodations will allow the employee to perform the essential functions of the job. Businesses are also required to make necessary renovations to their facilities to allow the disabled to move freely about and enjoy the services and amenities of the facility. This researcher attempts to compile the costs of complying with the ADA in one hospital. The analysis is limited to one facility. However, the findings may be beneficial to other facilities because severe civil penalties can be levied on facilities which do not comply. The study involved surveying a healthcare facility using points from Title I of the ADA determined by the researcher to be necessary for compliance. Title III compliance was accomplished using a facility survey from developed by the American Hospital Association. The researcher complied total expenditures by The Medical Center at Bowling Green, Bowling Green, Kentucky, to comply with Titles I and III of the ADA as well as projected costs associated with recommendations to resolve deficiencies. The findings support the hypothesis that practical approaches and inexpensive solutions are readily available so facilitates can fully comply with the intent of the law and avoid undue hardship.

Southwest of Bowling Green, Kentucky, is the Western Pennyroyal, is a karstified area which has been neglected in the study of its ground water. About 100 square miles near Adairville were chosen for analysis to help rectify this lack of knowledge. The area is dominated by Sinking Creek, a surface-subsurface drainage system. The main purpose of the study was to map the underground flow in the Sinking Creek area. The drainage system seemed to be typical for the Western Pennyroyal and exhibited many similarities to flow paths known in the Central Kentucky Karst. The investigation proved to be of basic value to future studies dealing with water well location, pollution of subsurface streams and karst-related flooding problems. The geographic scope of the study area extends from the rise of Sinking Creek to the origin of its headwaters in the residual outlying knobs of the Dripping Springs Escarpment to the north. Most of the area is a sinkhole plain developed mainly on the Ste. Genevieve and St. Louis limestones of Mississippian age. Map and field reconnaissance of the study area revealed the presence of 12 sinking streams, 6 resurgences and 5 caves, all occurring at or below 600 feet in elevation. On the basis of the physical features mentioned, two hypotheses were devised to explain their development and their relationship to the hydrology of the area. The first hypothesis was that the sinking stream and resurgences in the study area are connected in a single drainage system. This hypothesis was testable by physically determining subsurface connections in the field. The second hypothesis was that the sinking streams are controlled by the stratigraphy of the lithologic units. Diversion of surface streams occurs at or near the 600 foot elevation level, upon flowing from the Ste. Genevieve to the St. Louis limestone. This hypothesis was field tested by standard geologic methods. The determination of surface-subsurface stream connections was carried out by standard water tracing techniques using Rhodamine W.T. dye (20 percent solution) and fluorescein dye. The dye was injected into the streams, and samples were collected and then analyzed in the laboratory with a Turner fluorometer. Positive dye connections were obtained in all 5 traces. In addition to dye tracing, a large amount of field reconnaissance and subsurface mapping was necessary to determine the nature of the geologic controls on the surface-subsurface drainage system. Numerous rock outcrops and 5 caves were explored; one cave was mapped for over 4,000 feet. The lithologic studies proved to be inconclusive for the entire study area, but enough evidence was collected to support lithologic stream control in one cave stream segment. The culmination of the research design was to present the results of dye tracing and field work with a written description, graphs, and especially a map showing the connections established by the research.

As early as 1850 many reports of observations of the blind cave animals were made by both scientific and popular writers. Tellkempf, Agassiz, Forbes and Silliman were some of the earlier scientists who studied the eyes of cave animals. Eigenmann made a histological study of the cave vertebrates of America. In a study of Forbesichthys papilliferus, a semi-blind cave fish, Jennie Miller Orr found important structural modifications in the eyes of this species. Since no comparative histological studies of the eyes of cave animals seem to have been made, it was decided to make such a study with a view to determining whether these structural differences are similar in different cave animals. The animals chosen for this study are: Hadenoecus subterraneous, the so-called cave cricket; Cambarus pellucidus, the blind cave crayfish; Forbesichthys papilliferus, the semi-blind cave fish and Typhlichthys subterraneous, a blind cave fish. Eigenmann states that degeneration of eye tissue occurs in certain forms in the absence of light. A comparative histological study of the eyes of cave species and of those having normal eyes should reveal the nature of this degeneration.

The problem – A great number of pertinent and valuable contributions on the work of boards of education have been made emphasizing more particularly those aspects of establishment and organization, that are subject, more or less, to legislative action, and are consequently beyond control of the immediate board or its members. This study is concerned primarily with those phases of school board activity and relations that may be improved by the collective or individual efforts of the members constituting any board of education. They include the following: Relations with the community. Attitudes toward school administration and control. Cooperation with the state department of education. Conduct of official business. Personal training for school board membership. Scope of the study – The treatment of matters relating to school boards and school board members, which is attempted in this brief study, is limited by its purpose as mentioned above. No attempt is made toward a pretentious effort involving a great amount of correspondence with or numerous statements from leading school board members and authorities on the subject. The discussion, except for Chapter II, “History and Development of Boards of Education,” and the statement of preferable conditions, is confined to the more intimate phases of school board activity and responsibility.

“The fundamental reality in the ontology of African people” is an effort to alert the reader to a crucial omission in most contemporary studies on the religion or culture of African people. The majority of the current anthropologists (scholars in the field of contemporary religions) only make a passing reference to the spirit beings that infest the world of traditional Africa. Apart from inadequate attempts to psychologize the religions of pre-literary man, investigators of pre-scientific cultures have for the most part been unable to account for the unflinching loyalty and meticulous devotion of traditional man to spirit beings. The reason was found to be two-fold, namely: ethnocentrism on the part of the western scholar, and his bias against supernaturalism in favor of empiricism and evolution. The present investigation further showed that affirming or rejecting the reality of supernatural beings does not belong to the field of science because by definition supernatural beings are incorporeal. Therefore, there can be no scientific (set up) or apparatus that can verify such propositions. The appropriate fields were found to be those of metaphysics and epistemology. Further investigation showed that there is no metaphysical or epistemological ground for rejecting the reality of supernatural beings (spirit beings). Belief in spirit beings was shown to be quite consistent with reason and logic. In the ontology of traditional Africa, the highest being is God (the supreme being). He is the same as the Christian God. He created all living things in both the spirit world of lesser “deities” and the physical world of mortal man. He also created both the spirit world and the physical world. The lesser spirits or deities exercise control over man in his physical environment. At death, man becomes an ancestral spirit who then gravitates into the spirit world. As an ancestor, he is worshipped by the living. In return he offers them protection, guidance and care. That is why priests and witch doctors play a dominant role in such societies. They possess special knowledge about the spirit world. They have the power to contact and to manipulate spirit beings. These specialists provide the ordinary man with varying degrees of charms, amulets, magic, and several such devices that enable the latter to ward off the influence of malevolent spirit beings, mischievous humans, and to guarantee success in life. Such is the set up that controls the nerve center of traditional Africa from the cradle to the grave. Herein lies reality to which the physical world of man must remain subservient.

The purpose of this study is to bring to the attention of the public the contributions of Benjamin Orr Peers and to show his influence on the development of our present public school system in Kentucky. Material, other than secondary, has been scarce and widely scattered. The greater part of the source material was found in the Transylvania Library, Lexington, Kentucky, and in the private collection of Miss Mary O. Gray, Louisville, Kentucky. Some valuable information was obtained in each of the following places: Paris, Lexington, Louisville, Frankfort and Bowling Green.

The need for improved highway facilities in the east urban area of Daviess County, Kentucky, is analyzed in this study. The study focuses upon the need for alternative highway routes, due to the increased travel demands generated by a new Ohio River Bridge in eastern Daviess County. Also, the east urban area is forecasted to experience population and employment growth in the next decade, further necessitating the need for improving existing highways or constructing new corridors in the area. Various alternative alignments for an expressway are examined. The feasibility of upgrading existing highways in the east urban area is also analyzed. The study utilizes numerous transportation planning techniques, including the development of traffic projections, highway capacity analysis, cost estimates and land use and environmental impacts. The study includes original research and data collection in analyzing five alternatives. An alternative for constructing a new expressway in the east urban area of Daviess County is recommended.

Head lettuce, Lactuta sativa var. capitata, is susceptible to a number of economically important diseases, the most frequent being russet spot, rib discoloration, and vascular browning (28), which have been shown by Ceponis and Friedman (7) to be caused by Pseudomonas marginalis. Pseudomonads are common plant pathogens and cause such diseases as halo blight in beans (20), bacterial blight in soybeans (20), and bacterial wilt of the bird-of-paradise (27) and tobacco (24). Plants that develop symptoms similar to russet of lettuce are oats, infected by Pseudomonas cichorii, and tobacco infected with Pseudomonas tobaci (34). In general, russet symptoms include few to numerous yellow, pink, brown, olive brown or dark brown irregular specks ranging in diameter from 1/16 to 1/8 inch (28). In tobacco these lesions are thought to result from a necrotizing toxin, diamino-dicarboxylic acid, beta-hydroxy-alpha, epsilon-aminopimelic acid, produced by the bacteria (34). In lettuce these lesions result from the bacterial enzymes, protopectinase and pectin depolymerase (7). The red discoloration of lettuce often encountered in grocery stores and home refrigerators has been given the name russet spot, rib discoloration, and tipburn, depending upon where the discoloration occurs (26). These terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the literature. This investigation was initiated for two purposes: to determine factors which could be responsible for the symptoms which diseased market lettuce develops; and to investigate a preservation procedure that would best control the incidence of this disease.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between intellectual ability of 276 high school students and personality as measured by the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey (GZTS) factors. The 10 GZTS traits utilized were: General Activity, Restraint, Ascendance, Sociability, Emotional Stability, Objectivity, Friendliness, Thoughtfulness, Personal Relations and Masculinity. The study was designed to test for the relationship between three IQ groups (high, middle and low) and each of 10 GZTS personality factors. A multiple groups design was used, in which the three groups of subjects were blocked across intelligence. Ten one-way analyses of variance were performed to determine if significant differences between the IQ groups existed on the 10 GZTS factors. None of the analyses yielded significant findings. That is, no significant differences in personality across IQ groups were obtained. Seven non-significant trends between intelligence level and specific personality factors are presented and discussed.
