		Philosophy of the Student Research Conference: The Southeast Missouri State University Student Research Conference was founded in 1993 to promote and recognize those students who have devoted their time and interests to the pursuit of academic research. It is the intention of this conference to provide a forum and recognition to those who are already conducting research, to inspire other students to do the same, and to encourage a fully interdisciplinary involvement of Southeast Missouri State University students. Acknowledgments: The members of the Conference Committee for the Sixth Annual Southeast Missouri State University Student Research Conference wish to extend their most sincere appreciation and thanks to President Nitzschke for his generous support of all the student researchers and this conference, as well as moderating the roundtable discussion; to Phi Kappa Phi, for their generous donation of award money; to Dr. Fred Nute, for acting as our liaison to Mineral Area Community College; to Beth Fox, for acting as our liaison to Three Rivers Community College; to Dr. Tom Harte and Dr. Leslee Pollina, for donating their time and expertise in helping students prepare for their presentations; to Dr. Richard Burns for coordinating the judging committee, and Dr. Phil Finney for helping us prepare to be session chairs; and to Sandy Bedwell and the UC staff for making sure the conference ran smoothly. We would also like to thank Southeast Creative Communications, the public relations agency of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), for their design theme and creativity in helping with our publicity. A special thank you is extended to the judges for the best paper and poster competitions: Dr. Rick Althaus, Dr. Richard Burns, Dr. Jennie Cooper, Dr. Phil Finney, Dr. Lynne F. Margolies, Dr. David Probst, Rebecca Humphrey, Gabe Byars, Sandra Hoene, Jennifer Gadberry. We thank all faculty members who encouraged their students to submit research and to participate as audience members. Most of all, we thank all the students who participated in the experience of making the Sixth Annual Southeast Missouri State University Student Research Conference a success.
