In response to my query about thesis styles for LaTeX, I received the
following information about styles available via ftp.  In addition, I
also received several personalized styles via email.  In total, these
contributions provided great examples for what we must do to meet the
quirks here at sdsu.edu.  Many thanks to all.  We decided to model
ours after ucthesis.sty available from clarkson.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

There should be a large number of thesis styles on the clarkson archives:

Try ftp (anonymous) to sun.soe.clarkson.edu	or

Clarkson Archive Server // commands = help, index, send, path
archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
archive-server%sun.soe.clarkson.edu@omnigate.bitnet
dumb1!dumb2!dumb3!smart!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server

directory latex-style

We have a LaTeX thesis style that is modeled on IEEE Trans. Control
with special pages dictated by the University. There is also a user's
manual. If you want this send mail to chiang@ee.tamu.edu
and ask him to mail the style files and manual to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A thesis package in LaTeX designed for requirements at the University of
Washington (written by Jim Fox) is available for anonymous ftp in 
/pub/LaTeX on blake.acs.washington.edu

there are three files, thesis.[bib sty tex] 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Try TeXGuide.tar.Z from june.cs.washington.edu under anonymous/tex.
thesis*.sty and sample outputs are there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Our thesis style, ruthesis.sty, includes such things as double-spacing for
UMI purposes.  It should be available for anonymous ftp from
elbereth.rutgers.edu (and other Rutgers sites) in
/usr/local/lib/tex/macros/ruthesis.sty
