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.”

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.

and 2 bedroom studios at moderate prices, with a choice of furnished

Each apartment has colorful shag carpet, beautiful custom drapes
