ployee training increases pro

morale and reduces employee
obsolescence, say executives of
many top companies in the Un

executives from 125 of the na
tion’s top firms also found the
leaders felt training plays an im

Most such training goes to

submitted a proposal to the
Texas Goordinating Board for
higher education that officially
would create a department of
anthropology — splitting it from
the sociology department.
Dr. Vaughn Bryant, head of
the anthropology program, said
the program has been operating
on a departmental level since
1975.
“In essence, since 1975 the
only difference between our
anthropology program and a
department has been certain
types of recognition,” Bryant
said. “For example, a lot of our
mail still comes to sociology and
we don’t get a vote on the acade
mic council.”
In 1975, the lilieral arts dean
decided to split the sociology
and anthropology department
into two separate budget
accounts. This gave the anthro
pology program more freedom
over its curriculum. In 1976, the
anthropology program received
approval to offer a master's
program.
