The mature woman in a university setting, her career aspirations and the impact of counseling.

Centuries of societal expectations, reflecting societal needs, have brought woman to this point in history. Her role has been deter­ mined by these expectations and needs in the context of a male dominated- society (Trager, 1974). The roles have been ambiguous, causing guilt and bewilderment (Weitzman, 1975)

Using Physical, Chemical and Biological Indicators to Assess Water Quality on the Ouachita National Forest Utilizing Basin Area Stream Survey Methods

The Ouachita National Forest (ONF) has developed a series of Best Management Practices (BMP\u27s) designed to protect water quality and associated beneficial uses (fisheries, municipal water supplies, etc.). A monitoring program is necessary to document the effectiveness of that protection. The Basin Area Stream Survey (BASS) methodology provides a monitoring link from BMP\u27s to the aquatic ecosystems. The goal of BASS is to identify the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of a stream in a format that will allow comparisons with other streams, and indicate when a stream is being impacted. Six index streams within two ecoregions were selected and inventoried in 1990, 1991, and 1992, to serve as baseline data sources. The South Fork of Alum Creek and Bread Creek represent the upper Ouachita Mountain Ecoregion, Caney Creek and Brushy Creek represent the lower Ouachita Mountain Ecoregion, and Jack Creek and Dry Creek represent the Arkansas River Valley Ecoregion

Distribution, Natural History Aspects, and Status of the Arkansas Endemic Crayfish, Fallicambarus harpi Hobbs and Robinson, 1985

Recent fieldwork in west central Arkansas has revealed the Arkansas endemic crayfish, Fallicambarus harpi Hobbs and Robison, to be more abundant than formerly believed. New localities and county records are provided in addition to information on the habitat preferences, sex ratio, color variation, reproductive biology, and conservation status of this burrowing crayfish

Aquatic Macroinvertebrates of the St. Francis Sunken Lands in Northeast Arkansas

The primary objective of this study was to survey the aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity of the St. Francis Sunken Lands in northeast Arkansas. Secondary objectives were a determination of their relative abundance and distributional and seasonal patterns. Sixty semi-annual collections were made from 30 stations by sampling each station 2 times for 1 ½ man-hours with a Turtox Indestructible™ dip net. Totals of 243 taxa and 13,952 organisms were recorded for the sample period (August 1987 - July 1988). Each station was assigned to 1 of 4 associations, distinguished by distinct physical factors within the river channels and the immediate watershed. The Old River Channel-Oxbow Association exhibited the most complex and stable community structures; this was attributed to the relative lack of man\u27s alteration of the habitat. The Channelized Ditches-Point Source Pollution Association demonstrated obvious detrimental effects of man\u27s intervention. The relatively simple community structures of the St. Francis Lake-Open Water Association were attributed to the typically homogeneous substrates of this area. The simplest community structures were in the Channelized Ditches- Intense Agriculture Association and were a direct result of man\u27s multiple alterations within the river channels and immediate watershed. Seasonal species diversity indices and numbers of taxa varied inversely with respect to water level. High values occurred during low-water periods, whereas lower values occurred during high-water periods. This inverse relationship was attributed to flooded habitat, which led to population dilution and diminished collecting success
