Regarding his students. Dr. Hoffman said some of the students work for two weeks. others for four, and some for six weeks. They do not receive pay but do earn academic credit for their work... This is a credit variable option," he explains. . . . . One goal of this project is to provide town planners with reliable predicti~ns of where important archeological sites will be located. This is so that such sites may be taken in.to consideration when future zoning laws are pass_ed. A second goal is to determine the relationship between humans and the environment. Prof. Hoffman said that after the first phase of his investigations is completed, this being the excavations of the one-meter squares along the seven transects, and the Bridgewater State scientist gets an idea of "what's out there", he and his students will close in on more detailed studies. He has alreadv determined that water is very important in locating traces of ancient (pre-hist~ric) people. By contrast! he said, historic people (living within the bounds of recordl!d history) tended to settle near road systems. Although the Bridgewater group has recovered numerous artifacts, Dr. Hoffman emphasized he is mainly interested in finding out how people lived . .. When we excavated along transect three last year," he explains, "we found the prehistoric sites restricted to certain areas. This is v~ry hilly country, and our line passed through Marshfield Hills. Fully 15 percent of our squares had no prehistoric artifacts . .. This year." he continued, "we are digging along transect five, much flatter land. and traces of prehistoric people are much more generalized-traces of them are more evenly distributed. Only three squares out of 35 hav~ been empty." . "'This suggest that in areas of high topographical relief people will concentrate in certain areas due to environmental constraint. In flat areas, they You gu~s sh°"\o will spread out. This is one bit of new knowledge we have already obtained in he'J~ no trovb\e ... the early stages of our study." \heres an office doo.>ntolJ.lll··· Dr. Hoffman emphasizes that non-students are welcome to join in the digs. He will teach such people the proper procedures, but suggests that they be prepared to make substantial time commitment. "We have had several public school teachers working with us," he observes. "They use their experience as the subject of future classroom work ... A student. Bridgewater State senior Claudia Gillete of Dennis, Ma, approaches the professor. "Is this a "chip'?" she asks hopefully. Hoffman takes the small ob_iect, rolls it around in his hand, and shakes his head.

Rhodes Scholarships are for study in Great Britain only, but the Fulbright Grants allow for graduate work in a wide range of countries in Europe, South America, Africa, and the Orient. Both programs require applicants to demonstrate substan­ ~~ tial academic achievement, knowledge of a foreign language (where appropriate), and a clear notion of the program of study or research to be undertaken.

Cheap Trick will break your Heart

By Mark A very

Heart and Cheap Trick closed this summer's "Concerts on the Commons" series. I went to see the show on September 5th. Cheap Trick opened for Heart with "I Want You to Want Me". · · The band is composed of Robin Zunder (vocals and rythm guitar), Rick Nielson (lead guitars), Bun E. Carlos (drums), and Jun Brant (bass guitar). Although the band sounded true to their albums, they seemed to lack a certain degree of energy. They did not sound bad, but they didn't sound enthusiastic. They only performed for a bit over an hour. One thing that did keep Cheap Trick's show interesting was Rick Nielson's antics and collection of guitars. Rick would change guitars for every song. He pulled out colored guitars and checkerboard guitars as well as a five-neck guitar and a guitar resembling himself. He threw a multitude of picks with his likeness into the audience, making odd faces and familiar gestures to various members of the audience all the while. Rick even provided some appropriate voacls for the song "Dream Police", singing "They're here on concerts on The Common. Boston, Massachusetts,oh let me alone".

Cheap Trick also performed such favorites as "Surrender" and "Tonight It's You". Heart put on a better and longer, show. Ann and Nancy Wilson didn't let the crowd down with this summer tour. They still put out a great rock 'n' roll show. Many of the songs performed w·ere from their new album, entitled simply "Heart". Their new top 40 hit, "What About Love", is from this album. They did a lot of old songs, including "Allies", "Barracuda", 11 11 "How Can I Refuse", Dog and Butterfly", "Bebe Le Strange , "Magic Man", and "Crazy For You". Although it was the first time I had heard Heart's n,ew material, it was '"'''~\.M>,,.,...,,,,J>M'feTmed~eiweM:''Th:~"'l:J~fld's style is erl'sy:r'"atm tight. Anrf Wilson ~s . four-octave voice blended well with the rest of the band, which includes sister Nancy (vocals), Howard Leeses (guitar), Murh Andes (bass), and Denny Carmassi (drums). The group sounded equally as good on soft ballads as on hard rock songs. Ori some songs Nancy Wilson played acoustic guitar and keyboards. Heart performed for about two hours, along with two encores. All in all, the final "Concerts on The Common" for the summer of '85 went well and were very enjoyable.
