Construction students apply
class skills at Hensel Park
r ^inf #
Building construction students
and members of the Physical Plant
Department at Texas A&M joined
forces to build new restroom
facilities at Hensel Park.
The requirement of a problems
course was for the senior students to
apply classroom skills to an actual
project. Ron Haggin, head designer
for the Physical Plant Department,
knew of the class objectives and
suggested the restroom project at
the university-owned and -operated
park to construction instructor Bob
Segner.
The 14-member class assumed the
role of contractor and architect. The
students developed and presented
design, budget and material propo
sals to University authorities. The
University accepted the proposal
and construction began in the fall.
At this point the project was an
integrated effort, with students pro
viding most of the labor. Physical
plant craftsmen provided plumbing,
electrical, plastering and sitework
expertise. Students alternated the
role and responsibilities of jobsite
superintendent. Segner and Jim
Marsh, head of the building con
struction department, provided
technical guidance.
The building was constructed at
about one-half normal cost since the
students were paid in academic
credit. The course will be offered
every year depending on the
availability of projects according to
Marsh.

Anthropology
master of arts
is considered
The master of arts program in an
thropology, now being considered
by the Academic Council, will be
unique, Dr. Vaughn Bryant, as
sociate professor of Anthropology
said.
“While the emphasis of the pro
posed program in anthropology will
be to train students in areas of
applied anthropology, we still plan to
incorporate the other traditional as
pects of anthropology into the pro
gram,” he said.
Some of the traditional aspects of
anthropology include biology, geog
raphy, agriculture, archeology, lin
guistics, medical anthropology and
cultural anthropology.
Under the proposed program,
specialized training in palynology,
the study of pollen and spores; and
ethnobotany, the study of plant lore
will be included. Nautical archeol
ogy will possibly also be included.
The Academic Council meets to
decide the change next Thursday.
Currently, a master’s degree in
anthropology is offered by Texas
Tech, the University of Texas at Au
stin, Southern Methodist University
and the University of Houston.
Most of these programs are very
general in nature, Bryant said, and
none will be comparable to the pro
gram being proposed at A&M.
Although the anthropology cur
riculum at A&M is less than five
years old, it is one of the fastest grow
ing disciplines in the College of Lib
eral Arts, he said.
A&M now has the only ethnobo-
tanical lab program in the state. Re
searchers study human diets and the
way man utilizes his environment.
The palynology lab studies pollen
in order to determine what the pre
historic environment was like.
