As a result, first-gen students faced many challenges in their academic and personal lives. In response, the First-Gen Proud committee sought to understand those obstacles to identify immediate and long-term solutions for first-gen students. The committee decided to conduct an assessment to evaluate how our undergraduate first-gen students were experiencing the unanticipated and rapid move to remote learning. The purpose of this assessment survey is to understand the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has on first-gen students remote learning needs and experiences at Texas State University.Item Historic Resources Survey of Johnson City, Texas(1999-05) Brandimarte, Cynthia; Bowen, Amy; Parsonage, Carol; Kochan, Mary; Head, Gabriel; Walker, Jason; Davidson, Sandra Smith; Summers, MeredithGraduate students in the Public History Program of the History Department at Southwest Texas State University completed this survey of Johnson City's historic buildings as part of the requirements for a course titled "The Practice of Historic Preservation" (HIST 5345H).

Using data from a sample of young men in the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) three questions were addressed: who served, who was drafted, and who chose to enlist. The effects of ten determinants of military service (health conditions, mental ability, dependents, education, draft pressure, socioeconomic status, residence, earnings, unemployment, and knowledge of the world of work) on the probability of serving, enlisting, and being drafted were studied. Formulated hypotheses were tested by multiple classification analysis and logit. Separate analyses by race were also conducted. Results of the study included these: fathers served at rates significantly below average; racial inequalities in implementation of the health deferment existed; the military did not draw disproportionately from any one social class when fulfilling its manpower demands; draft pressure was the strongest predictor (the manpower needs of an intensifying war may have been the single most important factor in negating some of the earlier inequitable draft policies); and potential wage was not significantly related to black enlistment, though it was a strong predictor among whites.Item What American Teenagers Believe Concerning the Causes of Juvenile Delinquency(1961-01) Grusendorf, Arthur A.Attempts to discover what the teenagers themselves believe to be the major factors in delinquency causation.
