Dr. Lawrence Cress, an ad viser in the history department, says the commitment of advis ers is substantial. He says it is an extra burden but it is fun too, because he learns from what the student finds. “I’ve never done anything of this caliber,” says Thomas Solo mon, an English major. The project is so different because it is all original material that no one else has ever covered, he says. Even though the project is different, Thomas Kostelecky, an environmental design major, says it is more satisfying than any other research type project. “You answer your own ques tions,” Kostelecky says. He says he can find out things that he is truly interested in discovering. Satisfaction of curiosity is not the only aim. The ultimate goal is to create work that is worthy of publication, Nation says. If a first attempt accomplishes this, it is a good predictor of the Fel low’s future, he says. The exposure is good for gaining job contacts. Kostelecky says that while working on his project, he traded names with businessmen who told him to keep in touch. Solomon says the research is hard work, but that he has two semesters to concentrate on one big project. There is lime to cre ate something really good in preparation for the final sym posium, he says. “Through this I’m doing something never done before that is advancing scholarship,” Solomon says.
