Research Review
Creative Work Supported
By KAY MILLS
Writing an essay or poem,
digging up an ancient city or
painting a picture are part of
the creative work supported
under the University’s re
search policy, Dr. Frederick Mat
son, assistant dean for research
of the College of the Liberal Arts,
said recently.
"They are just as much ‘re
search’ as work in a chemistry
Jab, although a basic scientist
might argue the point," Matson
said.
The scholarly work in liberal
arts can be divided into the fields
of arts, humanities and social
sciences, he said.

expect many others to take the

While plans for additional
projects continue, the Peace

projects have been delayed or
cancelled, not because of a
shortage of applicants, but be
