A new Center for Ar
chaeological Sciences
established at the University
will allow researchers from
different disciplines to
collaborate and probably
will lead to the availability of
an interdisciplinary un
dergraduate degree in ar
chaeology
An undergraduale degree
should be available by next
fall, Norman Herz,
University geology professor
and program director for the
new center, said
Herz said he will meet this
month with Calvin
Hasbrouck, assistant dean of
academic affairs in the
College of Arts and Sciences,
to discuss a curriculum for
the degree in archaeology
A graduate degree in
archaeology is currently
available lo students on an
Individual basis, he said.
If student demand is not
sufficient to warrant an
undergraduate degree, a
certificate may be offered.
James Whitney, geology
department head and fiscal
director of the center, said
The center will allow
researchers from widely

"It’s a place where there's
a meeting of the minds."
said Kathryn Jakes,
associate director of the
center
"There is no center such
as this anywhere in the
southeast," Jakes said
Whitney said only ten to
twelve such centers exist
around the country
In addition to researchers
from different University
departments, the center has
also attracted researchers
from other universities such
as John Hopkins. Yale and
Oberlin
The researchers bring in
samples from all over the
world. Jakes said
"The establishment of the
center has really attracted a
lot of attention We have
gotten a lot of enthusiasm,”
she said
The center will try to
translate this enthusiasm
into research grants
Private grants and those
from such organizations as
the National Endowment for
Humanities and the National
Science Foundation are
passible. Jakes said.
The establishment of the
center should make it easier
to obtain grants, Herz said
Grants in interdisciplinary
fields are hard to secure, he
added
The national and in-
- ternational recognition the
center has already received
will possibly lead to such
grants, he said Herz said
these grunts and the center
will aid the University by
making more money
available for research
The center is currently
using facilities at the

KrS ,im! Hi., k ( u.tnb.tiRK M nor
More than 7,800 University
students participated in
winter quarter drop-add.
representing about 34 per
cent of the student
population, according to
figures released Monday by
the registrar’s office
OpSTAR, the computer
registration system, counted
20,291 transactions, which
falls in the expected range of
20.000 to 24,000 transactions
per quarter
Bruce Shutt. University
registrar, said as long as the
total number of students
involved in drop-add does
not exceed the national
average, which is 34 percent,
the administration does nol
get worried because ”we can
handle what comes
through .”
■'pre-registration’s goal is
to satisfy as many students
as we can so there is a let
down when so many re
register," Shutt said Drop
add gives a student the
chance to correct any
problems with his schedule
"Our goal is to be fair," he
said
"Part of the problem we
have with drop-add lies in
the psychology of the student
body." Shutt said He said he
recognizes the legitimate
reasons to change one's
schedule but fails to un
derstand why someone who
got a "perfect" schedule in
pre-registration would go
through drop-add to get a
completely new one
Shutt said the system
worked well this quarter
because there were never
any students in the hall
waiting after 4 30
"We can move the
students quickly if the
computer runs well, the
dropadd forms are not
mutilated and the scanner
works correctly," Shutt said
Everyone is not so pleased
with the wav dropadd is
done, however, some
University departments
have come up with a policy
to deal with the extreme
demand for their classes In
the introductory romance
languages, philosophy and
history classes, anyone who
does not attend one of the
first two days is
automatically dropped from
the roll
“I sympathize with these
departments but this
practice is causing a
horrendous record-keeping
problem We are taking the
practice to the Educational
Affairs Committee, a sub
committee of the University
Council, for hearing,” Shutt
said
James Day, the dropadd
coordinator for romance
languages, said his depart
ment wasn't trying to in
convenience anyone "We
are trying to make room for
students who are desperate
to add the class "
Walter H O'Bryant,
philosophy scheduling of
ficer, said there is an in
crease in the number of
students that want to take
philosophy courses He said.
The purpose behind our
policy is to clear the students
out of the class who seem
most unlikely to continue
their enrollment and give
those vacant spaces to other
students."
The history department
has just instituted this policy
winter quarter History
professor William Holmes
said the policy was designed
to help students who arc
serious about taking the
history course
"We try to address the
quality of education so we
limit class size to give the
Bruce Shutt
student the opportunity to
get better instruction."
Holmes said
About 350 people were
dropped from all depart
ments because of nonat
tendance this quarter All
the departments did make a
reasonable effort to rein
state students who were
dropped if they had a
legitimate reason for being
absent
Dropadd days are dif
ficult for faculty members
also As O’Briant said.
"Dropadd days encourage
the instructor to make the
first two days less essential
to the course We cannot
settle in and know who is in
the class until the third
day ”
Day said the meeting time
in language classes is
essenlial so students need to
catch up if they missed class
during the dropadd period
Not all faculty members
feel dropadd should extend
for three days Shutt said al
least half the University
would like to reduce the
number of days involved

The president of the
University’s American
Association of University
Professors. Anthony
Nemetz. said the
organization had no position
on drop-add problems "I
guess that most professors
do object, but I have not
polled them, " he said
Nemetz said drop-add is
unduly prolonged and keeps
professors from starting
class al the pace they would
prefer The highest turnover
rates are in the lower level
classes, so if a professor
goes ahead and starts class,
he usually ends up repeating
himself, he said
Holmes said he did nol feel
three days was necessary,
because (he University has a
well-established pre regist
ration and late registration
Also, "The first day of class
is very important Far loo
many people do not go to
class "
Shutt said. "Many
teachers do not start
teaching until the fourth day
of class, but I think as lo ng
as the faculty are that
permissive, the students will
continue to wait until then to
go to class "
The drop-add system has
been ehanged over the last
several years Last year the
University Educational
Affairs Committee
decreased the number of
hours a student could lake
without special permission
from the dean from 21 to 18
Shutt said the impact of
this policy is well worth the
extra work it requires
"It is tremendously
helpful because it has
reduced the shopping done at
the system's expense,” Shutt
said
For students, drop-add
continues to be ridden with
problems and frustrations
Shutt said, "Some studenis
do not understand how the
process works."
Common mistakes result
in someone receiving a
yellow slip from OpSTAR
Some problems to watch out
for are a mutilated drop- or
add-card that the computer
scanner cannot read, long
lines due to everyone waiting
until after lunch to do their
drop-adding, and getting the
wrong card from the
department to run through
the computer.
Our goal is to
be fair. ’
— Bruce Shutt
Finally, yellow slips can
be avoided by paying careful
attention to the classes one
already has on his schedule
If a student tries to drop a
class he does not have, or
add a class he already has.
his schedule will not go
through the computer Also,
a student cannot add a class
that conflicts with his
present schedule
Although problems remain
with the system, no plans to
improve the drop-add
procedure are presently
being implemented Shutt
said he would like to have a
centralized drop add
location for all departments
but at the present there is no
location large enough
Shutt is wary of making
drop-add too convenient "If
it is too easy our numbers
will increase and then we
will have problems "
