I'm sorry.  I may have spoke too soon.  Now, when I try to make a
sample document, when i try to view pdflatex, I get five latex errors.
 all of them say "undefined control sequence."

do you know why i would get this?

Apparently, the \degreeyear and so forth have to come before the title, etc. If you take the sample thesis, import it into LyX, and then cut and paste all the stuff from \degreeyear up to \copyrightpage, and put that before the title, then it will work.

A better solution would be to put those into the layout. If you use the attached layout, you can import the document much better. You'll still need to delete the "ERT" boxes with comments that come between "Professor Mih Sing Cite" and "Introspective Empiricism", but once you do that, it will compile.

Getting a really good layout would require a bit more work, but this gets things started.
