% Please read the comments in this file and make appropriate edits.
% NOTE: Always refer to the ``Preperation and Submission Manual for
% Doctoral Dissertations and Masters Theses for 20**'', where 20** is
% the year of your graduation, for officiation preparations guidelines.

% If you desire more control, please see the attached files:
% * ucsd.cls -- Class file
% * uct10.clo, uct11.clo, uct12.clo -- Configuration files for font sizes 10pt,11pt,12pt
%
% CHANGELOG:
% * Original file adapted from brockman.tex by JRB and RMR
% to work with ucsd.cls
\documentclass[12pt,chapterheads]{ucsd}
% documentclass options: default is 11pt, oneside, final.
% fonts: 10pt, 11pt, 12pt -- are valid for UCSD dissertations.
% sides: oneside, twoside -- note that two-sided theses are not accepted by OGS
% mode: draft, final -- draft mode switches to single spacing, removes hyperlinks,
% and places a black box at every overfull hbox (check these before submission).
% chapterheads -- include this if you want your chapters to read:
% Chapter 1
% Title of Chapter
%
% instead of
%
% 1 Title of Chapter
% Include all packages you need here. Some standard options are suggested below.
% GEOMETRY - This will force the use of Letter paper.
% Many TeX installations default to A4 paper. The formatting
% of the thesis class file requires Letter, else the margins
% will be wrong when you go to print it (and OGS will complain).
% If your TeX implementation is not setup for Letter paper, and
% you cannot change it, uncommenting the following line may fix
% problem.
% \usepackage[paper=letterpaper]{geometry}
%% AMS PACKAGES - Chances are you will want some or all of these if writing a math dissertation.
% \usepackage{amsmath, amscd, amssymb, amsthm}
%% GRAPHICX - This is the standard package for including graphics for latex/pdflatex.
% \usepackage{graphicx}
%% LATIN MODERN FONTS (replacements for Computer Modern)
% \usepackage{lmodern}
% \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%% INDEX
% Uncomment the following two lines to create an index:
% \usepackage{makeidx}
% \makeindex
% You will need to uncomment the \printindex line near the
% bibliography to display the index. Use the command
% \index{keyword} within the text to create an entry in the index
% for keyword.
%% HYPERLINKS
% To create a PDF with hyperlinks, you need to include the hyperref package.
% THIS HAS TO BE THE LAST PACKAGE INCLUDED!
% Note that the options plainpages=false and pdfpagelabels exist
% to fix indexing associated with having both (ii) and (2) as pages.
% Also, all links must be black according to OGS.
% See: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=hyperdupdest
% Note: This may not work correctly with all DVI viewers (i.e. Yap breaks).
% \usepackage[colorlinks=true, pdfstartview=FitV, linkcolor=black, citecolor=black, urlcolor=black,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}
% \hypersetup{ pdfauthor = {Your Name Here}, pdftitle = {The Title of The Dissertation}, pdfkeywords = {Keywords for Searching}, pdfcreator = {pdfLaTeX with hyperref package}, pdfproducer = {pdfLaTeX}}
\begin{document}
%% REQUIRED FIELDS -- Replace with the values appropriate to you
\title{The Title Of The Dissertation}
% No symbols, formulas, superscripts, or Greek letters are allowed
% in your title.
\author{Your Name Here}
\degreeyear{2007}
\degree{Doctor of Philosophy}
% Master's Degree theses will NOT be formatted properly with this

% Uncomment the next line iff you have a Co-Chair
% \cochair{Professor Cochair Semimaster}

\begin{frontmatter}
\makefrontmatter % The title, copyright, and signature pages.
%% DEDICATION
% You have three choices here:
% 1. Use the ``dedication'' environment. Put in the text you want,
% and you'll get a perfectly respectable dedication page.
%
% 2. Use the ``mydedication'' environment. If you don't like the
% formatting of option 1, use this environment and format things
% however you wish.
%
% 3. If you don't want a dedication, it's not required.
\begin{dedication} % The style file will format this for you.
To two.
\end{dedication}
% \begin{mydedication} % You are responsible for formatting here.
% \vspace{1in}
% \begin{flushleft}
% To me.
% \end{flushleft}
%
% \vspace{2in}
% \begin{center}
% And you.
% \end{center}
%
% \vspace{2in}
% \begin{flushright}
% Which equals us.
% \end{flushright}
% \end{mydedication}
%% EPIGRAPH
% The same choices that applied to the dedication apply here.
\begin{epigraph} % The style file will position the text for you.
\emph{A careful quotation\\
conveys brilliance.}\\
---Smarty Pants
\end{epigraph}
% \begin{myepigraph} % You position the text yourself.
% \vfil
% \begin{center}
% {\bf Think! It ain't illegal yet.}
%
% \emph{---George Clinton}
% \end{center}
% \end{myepigraph}
\tableofcontents
% \listoffigures % Uncomment if you have any figures
% \listoftables % Uncomment if you have any tables
%% ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
% While technically optional, you probably have someone to thank.
% Also, a paragraph acknowledging all coauthors and publishers (if
% you have any) is required in the acknowledgements page and as the
% last paragraph of text at the end of each respective chapter. See
% the OGS Formatting Manual for more information.
\begin{acknowledgements}
Thanks to whoever deserves credit for Blacks Beach, Porters Pub, and
every coffee shop in San Diego.
Thanks also to hottubs.

%% VITA
% A brief vita is required in a doctoral thesis. See the OGS
% Formatting Manual for more information.

%% Abstract
% There does not seem to be a maximum length. From the OGS Formatting
% Manual: ``The abstract may continue on to a second page.''
\begin{abstract}
This dissertation will be abstract.
\end{abstract}
\end{frontmatter}
%% DISSERTATION
% A common strategy here is to include files for each of the chapters. I.e.,
% \include{chapter1.tex}
% \include{chapter2.tex}
% etc. Of course, if you prefer, you can just start with
% \chapter{My First Chapter Name}
% and start typing away.
\chapter{Just a Test}
This is only a test.

% but haven't cited in the braces.
% \bibliographystyle{alpha} %% This is just my personal favorite style.
% There are many others.
% \bibliography{myrefs} %% This looks for the bibliography in myrefs.bib
% which should be formatted as a bibtex file.
