Abstract: This study sought to determine whether or not the attitudes of nursing students toward mental retardation were different after a planned curricular experience with mentally retarded children. The sample consisted of 72 nursing students enrolled in the University of Florida College of Nursing, in the summer and fall quarters, 1974. There were 46 students who had not had the planned experience with mentally retarded children and 26 students who had already had the experience. The design of the study was the Static-Group Comparison discussed by Campbell and Stanley. The Attitude Behavior Scale Toward Mental Retardation (ABS-MR) developed by John E. Jordan was used to measure attitudes and information about mental retardation. The ABS-MR was divided into 10 subscales. Hypotheses were formulated for eight of these subscales. The hypotheses predicted that there would be a significant difference in the pretest and posttest groups in their attitudes toward mental retardation and in their knowledge about mental retardation. There was a difference in the mean scores for all eight hypotheses, but only two were statistically significant, one of which concerned the subjects' perceptions of what other people generally believe about interacting with the mentally retarded; the other dealt with the subjects' perceptions of aspects of life or life situations. The differences were all in a negative direction except for the difference on the subscale dealing with knowledge about mental retardation which was in a positive direction . It was concluded that there was a difference in attitudes after the planned curricular experience with mentally retarded children, factual information may increase as a result of planned curricular experience and attitudes tended to become more negative after such experience.

For Rachel Smith and her four companions, hope for earth is in the distant past along with cannibalism, land collapses and real human interaction. 200 years old, she exists in the mess created by 20th and 21st century. Flung out into space at the mercy of technology she does not understand, with memories and ghosts for company, Rachel faces the unknowable unknown alone. Just like TRAPPIST 1, Rachel's destination is merely guessed at using data from super telescopes and mathematical equations. She cannot come home ZERO ONE ZERO TWO is a spare offering of satirical social comment wrapped in a futuristic dystopian narrative sprinkled with dark, dry humour. The hallucinogenic prose morphs into occasional poetry and back again in lines that are as blurred as the sense of reality and dreamscape. Threaded through a tale of human failings and romantic and platonic love there is a delicate balance of hope and despair, brutality and beauty.

Eco-warriors come in all shapes and sizes.Performed in The Scottish Parliament (2017), Casey & the Surfmen is an environmental story for all ages, written in verse and originally a spoken word piece. This contemporary fable hovers somewhere between The Rime of Ancient Mariner and Avatar. Magic, menace and mystical creatures take the reader into the expanse of a child's imagination, on to a dreamscape apocalypse and back to the shore of humanity's original promise.This whimsical parable is afloat on ocean rhythms, ebbing and flowing with the cadence of tides; swelling on storms, resounding on wave-washed rocks and rippling over surf-kissed shorelines.As well as enjoying the print version, you can buy an audio download or listen for free to Casey & the Surfmen, read by the author, by going to the bandcamp website.
