Dissertation/Thesis Latex Template

I have updated the close to decade old UCR (University of California, Riverside) thesis/dissertation Latex template to work with 2008 guidelines (these template updates are only the formatting changes I was required to make for acceptance by graduate division). The changes are as follows:

Updated latex weighting to help avoid widows (the last line of a paragraph at the start of a page) and orphans (the first line of paragraph at the end of a page). This should shave off a couple of hours of editing.
Updated the footnote definition to add a space between footnotes when two or more footnotes are present on a page.

This updated template "should" work for any University of California institution. Good luck!
