NOTE: The Departmental representative informed SCEJS 

that the transcripts of all Archaeology graduates 

had been reviewed and that the Department was 

concerned about the limited coverage of the 

discipline in some cases. Furthermore, it was 

felt that some courses required less of students 

than was appropriate for the 5 semester hours 

credit they carried. In other instances require- 

ments will be lessened to accord with the reduced 

credit.
