Thanks Julio, that did it!
Now I need to work on the numbering problem I am having.... 
    I have the first pages of my thesis numbered with roman numerals up
to the first page of Chapter 1.  For the first page of every new
section(ie acknowlegments, TOC, List of tables etc) I dont want the page
number to appear.  I have it working except for two things.
 1) The table of contents two pages long, and I cant get it to count the
second page when its listing what item is on which page.  And for some
reason its not numbering the second page of the TOC..
 2) I had inserted \thispagestyle empty in front of my List of Tables
and List of Figures, but since my List of figures is two pages long, its
numbering the first page, but not the second...  I dont see how to fix
this. 
  Thanks for the help!
