Nokes spoke as part of Womens History Week last week. Her topic was The Age of Communication. Nokes said that when she was in college women were only supposed to be teachers, nurses or secretaries. The only majors women were allowed were drama and English. She said that the essentials of communication are the five Ls: Laugh, love, learn, listen and (body) language. She recounted several examples of how she had applied each of these principles in her life. Her main point was to learn. Education, she said, is the base for all communication. She said to learn to think on your own, how to find information, how to be charming, how to communicate, and how to laugh at yourself. She stressed that to be hireable, you have to be computer literate, no matter what field, she said, Even costume designing. a" r Jackie Nokes gave her audience the five Ls and secrets for communicating at Convocation. Archeologist is really garbologist BY TODD ROBINSON When you hear the word archeologist you may envision someone who is trained to learn about ancient societies by sifting through the rubble they left behind. William J. Rathje is an archeologist, but he dosent fit the standard mold. Instead of digging up the remains of ancient societies hidden under layers of desert sediment, he digs through the garbage cans of modern America in his search for insight. March 13, Rathje will speak at Convocation telling about The Garbage Project: Archeology Of Yesterdays Lunch. Rathje, director of the University of Arizonas Garbage Project, is used to the inevitable jokes that follow when he tells people he sifts through garbage for a living. But his work is taken very seriously by the academic community. Our society is made up of two realities: our mental realities, what we think is going on in oifr world, and material realities, whats actually, physically there, says Rathje. And the interesting thing about looking at garbage is that theres often a big difference between mental realities, what people say, and the materia! realities of what people do." Rathje aneft hundreds of student assistants have been sorting through garbage for 12 years and have identified and carefully recorded more than 1.6 million individual this with the type of items. By neighborhood the garbage comes from, Rathje and his group have been able to come to some interesting conclusions about the American lifestyle. The Garbage Project was launched in 1971. The basis for establishing the project was to apply archeological methods to the analysis of modern societies. Rathje and his colleagues insist that it is foolish to restrict archeology to extinct cultures. Rathje is dissatisfied with the current research techniques used in studying modern society especially a reliance of interviews and surveys. Many scientists believe these methods aie intrusive, and tend to alter the nature of the society being studied. Studying garbage, however, is considered less disruptive and possibly more accurate according to some scientists. Some archeologists believe Rathjes project, and others like it, could change the basic character of archeological study. cross-checkin- g Phi Delta Kappas bring in speaker Michael P.
