Editor's Note

We are proud to introduce you to the first annual University of Tulsa Graduate Review. The idea for TUGR began one afternoon when a graduate student said to a group of peers, “I want to get my work published, but don’t know where to get started. To whom do I send work? How do I know if my work is worthy of being published?” With the objective of assisting TU’s students in learning more about the scholarly and online publishing processes, a handful of graduate students decided to create a forum that would tap into the talent and variety of Tulsa’s graduate community. TUGR features scholarly writings, creative work, and ongoing research.

Our first number offers a wide range of topics. We invite you to learn more about the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder in Midwestern police officers as discussed by Lisa Mills in her abstract,  “The Relationship Between Routine Work Stressors and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Police Officers” and to spend a quiet moment reading A. Cristina Emanuela Dascalu’s mournful poem, “Beginning.” For those interested in exploring ways to reduce the spurt loss and formation damage potential in designing drilling fluids, Neeraj Nandurdikar’s abstract,  “Development of Activators for Improved Mud Filter Cakes Containing BFS” will provide some interesting information.

I would like to thank Janet Haggerty, Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, for her support and ideas, as well as staff members Andrea Bradley, David Farley, Rosary M. Fazende, James Kelley, Neeraj Nandurdikar, and Nancy Shelton for voluntarily contributing a significant amount of time and creative effort to make this online journal a reality.

Graduate students, rifle through your files and pull out those scholarly essays, abstracts, short stories, and poems! Submit them to the next issue of TUGR. The deadline is January 15, 2000. To find out more information about contributing your work, go to Mission.

We would like to invite you to our official launching ceremony in the early fall. A keynote speaker will discuss the rapid development of internet technology and its effects on intellectual property rights and the publishing industry. Watch for flyers and notices around campus for further information.

Enjoy!

Pauline Newton
