South Dakota State University Journal of Undergraduate Research Volume II • 2004 SDSU FOREWORD A number of years ago, it was my pleasure to work with the National Inventor's Hall of Fame.The buildingwhichhousedthe displays of the award winners' workwaslocated adjacent to the campus of the University of Akron, whereI was President. Duringthe week of festivities whichled to the presentation of the winners, thoseof us on the campus had the opportunity to hearmanyof the honorees speak andto have discussions with them. Theinventors were always particularly interested in speaking with students andleaming whatthings interested them. Theyalways askedthe students whether or not theywere engaged in research themselves. Sinceoftenthe students were, lively exchanges took place and good contacts for future discussions were made. At first, I believed that the interest these world renowned scientists showedin our students wasjust an indicationof how wise they were to know that they could learn from young creative minds. Later, I found that was certainly true, buttheirinterest was even more thanthat. I learned thatformany, if not most, of thesewinners, the science for which theywere receiving this significant nationalrecognition was not usuallysomething that had made them famous or evensomething that had madethemrich.Theywerebeinghonored for some fundamental new way to see the phenomenon of matter and its behavior that theyhad ascertained in theiryouth. Mostof themhad begunto thinkthrough and devise a different paradigm during theirundergraduate years. Theyhad takentheirearlyideas,testedthem, andrefinedthemuntil significant newknowledge was producedfor all of us to use and build upon.Their inventions had been the result of their new way of thinking. I was certainly convinced that more opportunity had to be created for undergraduate students to be engagedin research. I believedthat they could certainly do more than just watch while others investigated or test ideas that othershad advanced. I wanted undergraduate students to haveopportunities to advance their own hypotheses, to test and to refine them. My commitment to undergraduate research has never wavered. That is why I am especially pleasedto sharewith you this book of articlesby South Dakota State University student researchers. I know you will find their work interesting and insightful, and in years to come, you may find that it became the basis to advance our thinking in important new ways. My sincerecongratulations to the students and to the dedicated faculty who made their work and this publication possible.

Student authors wishing to have their work published in the Journal are advised to follow these guidelines as closely as possible, as manuscripts submitted to the Jot/rna/that are not of high quality in content and format may be rejected by the editor. The Journal editor does understand that research products and manuscripts from different disciplines may take on quite different forms. As such, if these guidelines do not adequately answer your questions, simply follow the format and guidelines utilized by a major scholarly journal in your field of study. Professional journal articles In your field of study are a guideline for manuscript iength. (When in doubt, article conciseness is important). Your faculty mentor should be able to advise you in this regard. Ifthese guidelines do not answer your questions, or if additional questions about content and format arise, please do not hesitate to contact the journal editor, George Langelett, Economics Department, 688-4844, [email protected]. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES v SUBMISSION: HARD COPY AND ELECTRONIC FORMATS YourJUR manuscript must be submitted in both a hard copy (printed) form AND an electronic format through email. All manuscripts must be submitted to the JUR by your faculty mentor. Manuscripts submitted by students will not be accepted for publication. All manuscripts should be submitted to the Journal of Undergraduate Research, Administration Building room 130. Electronic versions should be sent via email to [email protected] by the specified deadline (next year is June 1, 2005). Every effort will be made by the editorial staff to reproduce your manuscript in a form that closely resembles your hard copy. However, some slight variations may occur in converting your files to those used by the publisher. Your careful adherence to the information in the next few paragraphs will ensure that your manuscript is reproduced with minimal errors. For submission of your hard copy, use MicrosoftWord® as your word processor. Use this program to prepare and print out your final hard copy with any figures and captions in place, exactly as you would like to see them apfSear in the final Jouma/article. This hard copy will serve as the model the editor will try to duplicate in the printed/published Journal. For electronic submission, you will also need to submit your manuscript file, saved in the most recent version of MS Word® possible, along with any additional graphic files. The way to electronically submit your manuscript is to email all required files as attachments to the journal (email address above). Sending just one email message with multiple attachments is preferred over several emails. Be sure to include not only your written manuscript, but also any additional files to be included in the final work. Ifgraphics are to be included, these must also be submitted as separate files. All digital art or other representations must be saved as either .EPS or .TIFF files. (.JPEG files are also acceptable, but be aware that resolution will be poor.) The Editor will insert these into the proper positions within your Jouma/article later. Finally, be aware that "Word Publisher" artwork cannot be translated and will be useless to the editorial staff. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES MANUSCRIPT REVIEW After your manuscript has been submitted to the SDSU Journal of Undergraduate Research, it wiil be reviewed by the editorial staff, and, if deemed acceptable for publication, converted into a "publication-ready" format ("proof"). A hard copy of the manuscript proof will then be returned to your faculty mentor by July 1®^ for final review. At that time, it will be your mentor's responsibility to make any final changes to the document and return it to the Editors by the noted deadline (July 15^'^). It is imperative that all proofs be returned totheJouma/staff in a timely manner so that any final changes can be incorporated before the volume goes to press. FINAL PRODUCT The final form of your paper will depend greatly on the nature of your topic and certain publishing conventions that may exist within your discipline. It is expected that the faculty advisor for each project will provide substantial guidance in this matter. An excellent general resource providing details of the content, style, and organization of a typical journal article is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, which is accepted as a definitive source in many disciplines.
