"Sid''s dad has a cold. He is sneezing. His nose is runny. But how come Sid has to keep washing his hands, if his dad is the one who''s sick?"--Back cover

"A funny, quirky picture book based on a little-known historical event -- and an introduction to one of history''s most notable figures, Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon Bonaparte''s most crushing defeat is widely thought to have been at the Battle of Waterloo -- but have you heard about that time he was defeated by a horde of cute, fluffy bunnies? We call it Bunnyloo. It was the summer of 1807, after Napoleon and Tsar Alexander of Russia signed a treaty to end war between their two empires. Napoleon decided to celebrate with a rabbit hunt. His chief-of-staff, Louis-Alexandre, gathered as many rabbits as he could -- but got one crucial detail wrong. The rabbits he gathered were domesticated rabbits, so accustomed to human contact that they didn''t scatter as expected -- they hopped towards Napoleon and his cohorts. The men shooed, swung and swatted, but it was no use. They were surrounded. When the rabbits started climbing up his legs and onto his hunting jacket, Napoleon became quite shaken, jumped back into his carriage and fled. Napoleon was a tough customer. He had ridden straight into cannon fire without a second thought. But everyone is scared of something -- even the bravest of the brave -- and it seems that for His Imperial and Royal Majesty, that "something" was the bunnies. The last page of the book will be a note with more information about Napoleon, and what we know about the ill-fated rabbit hunt. Research tells us that this event really did happen, and that Napoleon -- though amused at first -- really did abandon the hunt when he realized the rabbits were not going to retreat."--

This qualitative study fills a void in the research on collegiate student government elections by examining the experiences of 10 candidates for president and vice president at large, public, four-year universities in Texas. Participation in student government has been shown to support students'' learning and lead to future political engagement. However, until this study, little has been understood about the experiences of candidates in the student government elections process. Using political efficacy (Campbell et al., 1954) as a theoretical framework for the coding and analysis of the data, several themes emerged, including the students'' motivations for running for president or vice president, the nature of the campaigning process, lessons learned throughout the election, and the candidates'' perceptions of future political participation. Each of the participants perceived their experience as a candidate in student government elections to be a valuable learning experience, which helped them gain an understanding of how politics works and their valued role in the American democracy. However, the campaigning process brought many challenges including feelings of vulnerability from public scrutiny, which had a physical and emotional toll on the participants. Overall, their candidacy influenced their perceptions of political efficacy and inspired their continued involvement in politics, whether highly engaged or more pragmatic. Implications for practice include the need for student affairs practitioners to offer guidance and resources for candidates to provide them the support needed to meet the challenges of the election. In addition, the creation of an ombudsman position to oversee campaign behavior would be helpful to ensure the integrity of the election. In regard to theory, this is the first known study to apply the theory of political efficacy to student government elections at the university-level. Through adapting the assumptions of the theory to match the student government realm, political efficacy was able to help explain why students may choose to run for student leadership positions and how they perceive the power of their student government organization.

Students from non-English-speaking countries who immigrate to the United States during the adolescent years are tasked with both learning a second language and meeting graduation requirements in courses taught in that second language. Forty years of research on second language acquisition documents that primary literacy (L1) impacts second language acquisition (L2). Yet, newcomer adolescents have been left out of this conversation. This study explores the question: What degree of relationship exists between adolescent newcomers'' primary literacy (X) and their rate of English language acquisition (Y)? This study follows a quantitative correlational research design, relying on two measures of primary literacy: the IDEA Proficiency Test and the Standards-based Tests in Spanish, and the longitudinal results on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). The participant population consisted of all (n = 34) native Spanish-speaking English learners who received instruction in the U.S. for five years or fewer. A very minimal positive correlation was found between primary literacy levels and the initial assessment of CELDT, and a moderate positive correlation between primary literacy levels and the first and fourth annual assessment of CELDT. This suggests that primary literacy levels do not predict the English proficiency levels at initial assessment. The moderate correlations at the first and fourth annual assessments suggest that those with higher levels of primary literacy acquire English at a faster rate. The moderate correlation will allow educators to predict those at-risk newcomer adolescents. Educators can then target intervention or provide differentiated instruction in order to support the students'' literacy development.
