Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, August 29, 1972 THE BATTALION Archeology, Indians Enter Liberal Arts Curriculum Anthropology begins to take its place in the College of Liberal Arts as two new courses are made ready for the fall semester. In its second year, the emerg ing Department of Sociology and Anthropology adds archeology and the North American Indians to its established introductory and cultural courses. Dr. Vaugh M. Bryant, A&M’s first anthropologist, related, “Since student interest and re sponse has been so favorable, we have expanded our faculty and curriculum in anthropology for the coming academic year.” Dr. Bryant added that over 350 stu dents were enrolled in the two courses last year. The new addition to the A&M faculty is Harry J. Shafer. Well experienced in this field, Shafer has organized many archeological surveys and excavations through out the state for the Texas Arche ological Salvage Project for the past 10 years. He also worked on the 1971 Tabun Excavation Team in Israel which partially redefined the cultural develop ment of the Middle East for the last 100,000 years. Shafer is a former instructor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin and is a doc torate candidate for May 1973. By the 1973-74 academic year, it is hoped by university officials that anthropology will be avail able as a degree major in the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Bryant informed, “As an thropology receives additional faculty members, we shall be able to expand our present curriculum. We hope to be able to offer stu dents at least two new courses every semester for the next few years in addition to the basic in troductory level courses which will be taught each semester.” On the role of anthropology at A&M, Dr. Bryant commented, “As I envision it, it is to help not only A&M students, but all of mankind gain a sense of under standing, compassion, and toler ance for his fellow man, and at the same time gain an apprecia tion of his biological and cultural heritage.” Dr. Bryant also suggested that the course of study cannot solve all the problems of the world, but that “the application of anthro pological techniques can be used to answer many of man’s ques tions concerning his past and present self.” m L$ imr Vicam i> Dr. Robert Berg Becomes New Director of Research Dr. Robert R. Berg, formerly Associate Dean of Geosciences at A&M, assumed duties July 1 at the newly created post of director of research for the university. The new post, created by Presi dent Jack Williams, is to provide for development and support of varied research programs which were being conducted outside of the existing agricultural and en gineering experiment stations. “Texas benefits from all of the research of the university through improvements in education, help to farms and industries, aids to management of natural resources and development of methods to reduce environmental pollution, among many other benefits,” Dr. William said. The new Office of University Research, which Berg will head, will operate under Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr., Vice President for Academic Affairs. Dr. Williams said establish ment of one central office to co ordinate TAMU’s research ef forts will result in more efficient management and reduced admin istrative expenses among the col leges other than Engineering and Agriculture. These will continue their research efforts through the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and the Texas Agricul tural Experiment Station. Dr. Berg joined the TAMU faculty in 1967 as professor and head of the Geology Department. He was named associate dean earlier this year, with his previ ous major responsibilities being coordination of the College of Geosciences’ research program. He was president of the Amer ican Institute of Professional Geologists last year. 08 M Watch For Lou’s $100.00 Contest { TH, Pits m a^provL [tplaoe Vjtion p"! conip is com in $100.00 is'given away each Friday at 12:00.
