Each year two new layers of cementum are added until the tooth is pulled or the person dies, Stott said. The two layers are known as an annulation, and each annulation leaves a ring like those on a tree trunk. In Stott’s research project, sup ported by a two-year, $118,087 grant from the National Institute of Dental Research, he and veter inary student Jay Naylor are devis ing a technique for staining thin sections of teeth so the annulation rings are distinct enough to count. If the method is perfected, Stott said, pathologists may be able to pinpoint a person’s age at death with just a half-dozen samples from any tooth. The technique also may be of great importance to anthropolog ists. It has been applied to anim als, such as dinosaurs and croco dile species, hut never before to humans, said Stott. “Our objective is to develop a means of locating the most consis tent site of countable annula- tions,” said Stott. / United Press International AUSTIN — University ofTexas officials received recommenda tions on how to improve the school over the next 25 years at Thurs day’s special centennial celebra tion. Presentation of the report was one of several activities planned for the celebration which was observed by Texas Gov. Mark White, three former governors and representatives of 250 eol- leges and universities. Although the 48,000-student university has been celebrating its 100th birthday since January, Thursday marked the exact date that classes officially began. The report’s recommendations are the result of three years of work by a 175-member commis sion appointed in 1980 by the Board of Regents. The recommen dations for a 25-year period were presented to the regents during the convocation. In addition to the report, UT observed the anniversary with a re-enactment of the first law class. Later in the day, the school hosted a barbeque and open house, dedi cated a city park donated to UT by the city of Austin, and conducted an evening parade through campus. The day-long activities began with the connvoeation at the Erwin Center attended by White and former Texas Govs. Allan Shivers, John Connally and Dolph Briscoe. At the end of the day, the Main Building Tower was lighted orange and the numberal “1” was be spelled out in the windows of the 27-story building. The “1 has been spelled out only four other times — in 1963, 1969, 1970 and 1977 — to honor the Longhorn football team for na tional titles. The 1977 “1” honored Earl Campbell for capturing coif, lege football’s Heisman Trophy. ; UT is spending a half-million dollars raised in private donations on its centennial activities. United Press International FORT DIX — Col. William lerner, the commander of the S. Army Hospital at Fort Dix, hfldiyBiasbeen relieved of duty pending eassignment after authorities nested an unlicensed doctor corking on the hospital staff, the ,rmy said.
