Padgett, Gregory B.
Abstract/Description
This biography is a testament to one man's courage and resolve in the struggle for equality of opportunity. The Reverend Charles Kenzie Steele, despite threats from segregationists, harassment from law enforcement and economic reprisals, never wavered in his commitment to the cause of civil rights in Florida and the nation. Steele's contributions to the success of the Civil Rights Movement have, prior to this study, never been completely documented. C. K. Steele provided leadership in one of...
Show moreThis biography is a testament to one man's courage and resolve in the struggle for equality of opportunity. The Reverend Charles Kenzie Steele, despite threats from segregationists, harassment from law enforcement and economic reprisals, never wavered in his commitment to the cause of civil rights in Florida and the nation. Steele's contributions to the success of the Civil Rights Movement have, prior to this study, never been completely documented. C. K. Steele provided leadership in one of the most turbulent periods in American history. The Tallahassee bus boycott began in May, 1956, as a spontaneous student protest. Steele emerged as the leader of a city-wide protest involving most of the local African-American community. As president of the Tallahassee Inter-Civic Council, Steele conducted a successful desegregation campaign of the city transit system. The ICC also provided vital assistance to the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) led campaign against segregated public accommodations, housing and schools in Leon County. Because of Steele's influence, the two civil rights organizations conducted the campaign without serious discord. Steele's ability to inspire cooperation was an invaluable asset to the South's primary civil rights organization, The Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Steele was one of the founders of SCLC, and served as its first executive vice president from the organization's inception until his death in 1980. SCLC, led by the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., coordinated most of the civil rights activity in the nation. As a member of its governing body, Steele played an active leadership role in every major civil rights campaign in the South between 1956 and 1968. Steele's role in the Civil Rights Movement has been determined by careful examination of archival materials, his personal correspondence, and interviews with individuals who knew him personally. These materials provide a portrait of a Christian minister wholly dedicated to the cause of justice.

History of women's intercollegiate athletics at Florida State University from 1905-1972.
Creator
Usher, Mildred Marie
Abstract/Description
Philosophical, sociological and physiological factors were identified that influenced and guided the development of the women's athletic program. A chronological and topical account of actual events that transpired was compiled which resulted in the establishment of three time periods of development.

Sedimentologic history of the lower St. Johns River estuary, northeast Florida
Title
Sedimentologic history of the lower St. Johns River estuary, northeast Florida.
Creator
O'Sullivan, Michael O., Florida State University
Abstract/Description
The goal of this study was to determine the sediment history of the Cedar and Ortega River estuaries, part of the lower St. Johns River (LSJR) in northeastern Florida. Sedimentation rate data based on 210Pb and 137Cs analyses, combined with the profiles of bulk sediment properties, reveal how natural and anthropogenic factors have altered the quantity and character of sediments in this urbanized estuary. This investigation also provides a chronology for future contaminant studies. Knowledge...
Show moreThe goal of this study was to determine the sediment history of the Cedar and Ortega River estuaries, part of the lower St. Johns River (LSJR) in northeastern Florida. Sedimentation rate data based on 210Pb and 137Cs analyses, combined with the profiles of bulk sediment properties, reveal how natural and anthropogenic factors have altered the quantity and character of sediments in this urbanized estuary. This investigation also provides a chronology for future contaminant studies. Knowledge of the timing of contaminant input to the sediments is useful in controlling the future introduction of contaminants. An additional goal of this study was to test the applicability of two sedimentation models, the Constant Initial Concentration (CIC) and the Constant Rate of Supply (CRS) models, to estuarine sedimentation., Forty-seven cores collected from the Cedar and Ortega Rivers were analyzed for percent water, percent organics, percent fines, bulk density, color, and sedimentary structure by x-radiography. A subset was analyzed for historic sedimentation rate using 210Pb analysis, and a smaller subset of cores was analyzed for short-term (~50 years) sedimentation rate using 137Cs. These measurements provide a record of historic changes in the geological and land-use conditions of the estuary. Additionally, several sets of bridge borings were examined to investigate longer-term trends in sedimentation in the estuary, and to establish the history of sedimentation during late Quaternary time. The large set of dated cores analyzed in this study provide a unique insight into the sedimentation history of a large estuary. In addition to being significant in its own right, this history provides a chronology for contaminant studies. Continuing studies of organic and trace metal pollutants--performed in the Cedar and Ortega Rivers on these and other cores--will employ the results of this investigation to determine the history of contamination in the lower St. Johns River.

Late Quaternary history of southern Cumberland Island, Georgia
Title
Late Quaternary history of southern Cumberland Island, Georgia.
Creator
Robertson, Joseph Drew., Florida State University
Abstract/Description
The response of coastal barrier environments to late Quaternary sea-level oscillations and environmental change has long been of interest to coastal scientists. The coast of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida provides a relatively undeveloped setting in which to examine barrier response to long-term changes in sea level, salinity, and water temperature. Four sites along the southern tip of Cumberland Island, Georgia, a coastal barrier with a complex history, were selected for core...
Show moreThe response of coastal barrier environments to late Quaternary sea-level oscillations and environmental change has long been of interest to coastal scientists. The coast of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida provides a relatively undeveloped setting in which to examine barrier response to long-term changes in sea level, salinity, and water temperature. Four sites along the southern tip of Cumberland Island, Georgia, a coastal barrier with a complex history, were selected for core sampling and analysis. In this barrier setting, the results provide some insight as to how the coastal environments of southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida have responded to late Quaternary oscillations in sea level, salinity, climate, and water temperature. The results may aid in predicting the response of such barrier environments to future changes in sea level and climatic conditions.

Manipulation of stimulus encoding in the study of retroactive inhibition in paired-associate learning.
Creator
Fagan, Robert L., Florida State University
Abstract/Description
Sixteen S's in each of eight experimental and two control groups participated in an experiment designed to study the relation between stimulus encoding and retroactive inhibition, in the A-B, A-C/D-C and A-B, A-Br/D-C P-A paradigms. In addition to manipulating stimulus encoding by instructions a modified cued recall test was employed to control for the effects of response competition. It was found that the encoding of instructions were unsuccessful, thus both the encoding and repetition...
Show moreSixteen S's in each of eight experimental and two control groups participated in an experiment designed to study the relation between stimulus encoding and retroactive inhibition, in the A-B, A-C/D-C and A-B, A-Br/D-C P-A paradigms. In addition to manipulating stimulus encoding by instructions a modified cued recall test was employed to control for the effects of response competition. It was found that the encoding of instructions were unsuccessful, thus both the encoding and repetition groups reported a significant amount of encoding. It was further found that recall was related to encoding, e.g., if an item was differentially encoded it was more likely to be recalled than if it was not differentially encoded. The results were interpreted as consistent with a cognitive-operant analysis of PAL.
