Photograph taken for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "In this modern age of jet travel and the H-bomb, most folks are too sophisticated to put much stock in jinxes and other superstitious nonsense. Take "water witches" for example. Not many people believe that in fellow with a willow branch clasped tightly in both hands can really find water. If one wants to find water he should to about it scientifically, using gadgets with flashing lights and dials, and maybe even a bugger or two tossed in for good measure. That may be all right for some folks, but not for Charlie Fisher. Fisher is a 78 year old Bryan county farmer who believed in the water witch. And, lucky or not, fisher gambled twice on the water witch and has won both times."

The study examines the use of hypnotic audiotapes designed to affect study habits and attitudes. It is assumed that exposure to the hypnotic audiotapes will improve study habits and attitudes.

The effect of an interdisciplinary algebra/science course on students' critical thinking skills was examined. A traditional college algebra course was used as a comparison group. The students in the sample enrolled in college algebra and then half were randomly placed into the interdisciplinary course. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest comparison group design was used. The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal was used to measure the students' critical thinking skills. This instrument consists of an overall critical thinking score as well as five subscores in the areas of Inference, Recognition of Assumptions, Deduction, Interpretation and Evaluation of Arguments. It was found that the students in the interdisciplinary course made greater gains in the overall critical thinking score as well as in four of the five subscores. However, the differences in the gains made in the two courses were not statistically significant. Disregarding course, other factors that were found to be closely related to critical thinking were Composite ACT, grade received in the course, Math ACT and grade point average.
