LaTeX switches to pagestyle plain on first pages of chapters. You can give
a \thispagestyle command on each chapter to change that.
Alternatively you can use my fancyheadings.sty which gives you very much
freedom to specify your headers and footers with a few simple commands.
Get it from the clarkson archive or from ours:
ftp from sol.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5], directory pub/TEX/latexstyle, or
request from mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (send a HELP message first),
The files are fancyheadings.doc and fancyheadings.sty.
