Calcined Bone as a Reliable Medium for Radiocarbon Dating
Radiocarbon dating using charcoal and bone collagen, two standards of archaeological chronology, can be difficult to impossible in environments where natural burning is common and bone does not preserve well. In such settings, charcoal ages cannot always be trusted and collagen is unavailable. Calcined bone can be a viable alternative medium in these situations but it has rarely been exploited in the Americas. One area that could benefit from its…
Fear of Aids and attrition among medical technologists
Attitudes toward AIDS were measured by a survey of 212 attendees at the annual meeting of the New Jersey Society for Medical Technology. Twenty five percent of the respondents were considering leaving the profession because of a fear of AIDS. In addition, almost half would not have chosen the field knowing they would be handling HIV-positive samples. This high degree of concern may be an important factor contributing to the shortage of medical te…

Designed as a proficiency measure, the ACTFL/ETS Oral Interview requires modification order to be used in the classroom. The global ratings must give way to a classroom‐oriented scale; the evaluation must yield information useful to both student and instructor; the content must reflect the material under current study; and the test procedure must make allowances for student anxieties. The “RSVP” pilot here described uses a modified OI procedure, …

Knowledge Gap Effects in a Health Information Campaign
The evaluation of a campaign to increase cardiovascular health knowledge indicates that within the treatment community, education was a significant predictor of knowledge before the campaign but was not a significant predictor after the campaign. Two variables related to motivation to acquire information about cardiovascular health (age and perceived threat of heart attack) were not significant predictors of knowledge before the campaign but were…

Comics in the Foreign Language Classroom
Popular comics have generally been relegated to the status of ‘diversionary’ activities in the foreign language classroom, a medium which teachers have turned to only in an effort to rekindle waning enthusiasm in their students. Recently, however, scholars in France have been devoting considerable time to develop innovative uses of comics in the foreign language classroom. Most of the methodologies so far devised center on pedagogical application…

Marijuana use among recent alumni reflects prior diffusion of a student subculture with a variety of correlated norms and values. Constraints of family and job, and change of associates after graduation, foster cessation of such drug use more often than complete change from the other values of this subculture. Diffusion of norms and values of the student subculture among educated young adults off campus is evident in many alumni not much involved…

Heriberto Frias, a Mexican Zola
ALTHOUGH Heriberto Frias' lesser light has been largely eclipsed by other novelists of Mexico's Diaz era, recent publications have shown a growing interest in this combative author whose lacerating social commentary brought him repeated persecution and imprisonment. Frias' novels, notably Tomochic, El uiltimo duelo, El amor de las sirenas, and ?Aguila o sol?,1 plus a broad array of shorter works, are of increasing historical interest, owing to th…
