NOTES  ON  A MEET !MG 
BEn.JEEN 
DEPARTMENTS  OF  SOCIOLOGY  AND  ANTHROPOLOGY 

PRESENT:  Hughes,  Swartz,  Swindler,  Gallln,  Artis,  McKee,  and  Useem 

Hughes  said  he  felt  one  of  the  most  Important  and  appropriate  steps  to 
take  In  the  discussion  was  how  to  develop  meaningful  relations  between 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  and  the  Department  of  Socfology,  from  the 
point  of  view  of  faculty  members  who  want  to  have  occasions  for  working 
with  colleagues  In  the  Department  of  Sociology  and  from  the  point  of 
view  of  the  graduate  students.  Hughes  said  that  he  spoke  for  the  whole 
Department  of  Anthropology  when  he  said  that  he  wanted  to  strive  to 
reach  understandings  that  have  meaningful  patterns  for  both  departments. 

Useem  expressed  a  genuine  desire  on  the  part  of  the  Department  of 
Sociology  to  retain  and  build  viable  relationships.  Usecm  said  that  the 
Department  of  Soc to logy  shared  the  sp Ir it  expressed  by  Dr.  Ht1ghes  on 
behalf  of  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Hughes  said  one  problem  is  the  arrangements  for  joint  training  ln 0
discl  line  that  ts  supplemented  by  or  given  more  insight  by  training 
in  h" other  departments.  The  Department  of  Anthropology  development 
c5f poJlcy  guidelines  includes  and  rests  upon  close  work  with  the  student 
-and  the  guidance  committee.  For  the  students  who  started  before  the 
spJlt,  the  new  patterns  would  have  to  be  modified.

Useem  said  the  Department  of  Sociology  could  consider  abandoning  this 
particular  interdisciplinary  program  although  he  stressed  that  the  Department 
of  Sociology  could  do  so  but  not  necessarily  should  do  so.  The  Department 
of  Sociology  may  wish  to  explore  some  alternatives.  Thus  Jt  would  be  pos 
sible  to  retain  the  Interdisciplinary  pattern  for  those  students  who  are 
members  of  the  Department  of  Sociology  but  not  have  the  equivalent  arrange 
ment  for  students  in  the  Department  of  Anthropology  -- If  that  ts  what 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  prefers.  Useem  quoted  from  the  minutes  of 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  and  Sociology  representatives•  meeting  of 
July  21 •••• rt  was  suggested  that  for  students  already  here,  perhaps 
their  ''home"  department  would  be  the  department  in  wh lch  their  gu I dance 
committee  chairman  resides ••• 

Hughes  satd  that  he  didn't  think  It  was  clear  the  way  In  which  the  core 
program  would  proceed.  He  sa,ld  that  he  was  somewhat  confused  on  the 
differences,  Implied  or  real,  between  the  Interdisciplinary  program  and 
the  usual  major-minor. 

McKee  quoted  from,  the  Department  of  Socio logy  Graduate  Manua 1  Page  14 
which  sets  forth  the  procedures  for  setting  up  the  guidance  committee. 
Mcl<ee  pointed  out  the  guidance  committee,  in  determining  the  "comprehensive" 
examination  ·for  the  student,  does  not  duplicate  the  core  program  and  its 
re lated  "qua llfy f ng"  .examlnat Jon. 

Page  Two 

Swartz  Indicated  that  he  was  not  aware  that  there  was  an  fnterdlscfpl inary 
program  and  asked  what  the  legal  status  of  such  a  program  would  be. 

Useem  read  the  letter  from  Vice  President  Muelder  to  the  Registrar  (June  30, 
1964),  with  respect  to  the  lnterdlclplfnary  Program,  the  student  getting 
a  Ph.D.  after  July  1,  1964  would  get  the  degree  In  his  "home  department." 

Galltn  Indicated  there  was  no  reference  to  the  Interdisciplinary  Program 
In  the  Department  of  Anthropology  Graduate  Manual  but  that  there  was  a 
reference  to  majorwmfnor  on  Page  Three  ••• Hhen  It  Is  appropriate,  an 
M.A.  student  may  have  a  member  of  another  department  as  a  third  member 
of  his  committee... 
the  guidance  committee  will  consist  of  a  chairman  and  two  other  members, 
at  least  one  of  whom  ts  on  the  anthropology  faculty.  The  Chairman 
of  the  Department  of  Anthropology  or  hfs  representatJve  Is  a  member  of 
the  guidance  committee  of  each  Ph.D.  candidate ••• 

In  the  case  of  a  student  working  for  a  Ph.D,  degree, 

Useem  said  that  it  was  necessary  to  clarffy  what  the  Department  of 
Anthropology  (1)  prefers  -- for  Its  own  students  the  major-mlnor  concept, 
the  format  of  the  Department  of  Socfology  Interdisciplinary Program,  or 
some  other  scheme,  and  (2)also  what  ft  would  accept--apart  from  the  above 
decJslon,  with  respect  to  the  Department  of  Soclology 1s 
Program.  Artis  asked  Hughes  If  the  Department  of  Anthropology  had  many 
Inquiries  from  students  who  wished  to  come  here  because  of  a  Joint  depart 
ment. 

Interdisciplinary 

Hughes  said  they  received  a  fair  number  of  these  fnquiries. 

Hughes  sa fd  that  for·  those  students  who  want  some  anthropology  tra In Ing  as 
part  of  their  training  in  sociology  they  could  take  part  of  their  training 
In  the  Department  ofAnthropology  and  have  members  of  the  Department 
of  Anthropology  on  their  committee. 

Useem  said  that  he  felt  one  important  difference  between  the  major-minor 
concept  and  the  Interdisciplinary  Program  Is  the  Quatffylng  Examination; 
that  the  Department  of  Sociology  requires  that  the  student  at  this  level  to 
demonstrate  In  a  test  that  he  can  go  on  to  Ph.D.  Useem  noted  that  a 
similar  arrangement  exists  with  the  Department  of  Psychology  for  students 
ln  social  psychology.  Useem  pointed  out  that  due  to  the  large  numbers 
of  minors  and  cognates  working  tn  soclo1ogy,  the  conventfona1  minor 
program  In  sociology  is  not  highly  formalized.  Usually  the  student  takes 
12-15  hours  In  liberal  arts  types  of  courses  In  sociology  for  which 
the  examination  ts  often  waived. 

Useem  asked  of  the  Department  of  Anthropology  would  consider  whether  or 
not  they  mtght  endor::o  ""'"  lntordlsclpllnary  program  for  students  ln  the 
Department  of  Sociology,  apart  from  whether  or  not  such  a  program  rs 
made  available  to  students  in  the  DepartmP.nt  of  A11throp0Jo9y.  ThJs  fncludes 
for  students  In  sociology  the  following  core  courses:

Page  Three 

Hughes  said  that  this  would  have  to  be  discussed  In  the  Department  as 
not  everyone  had  been  aware  of  the  format  of  the  program. 

Swartz  pointed  out  that  the  core  program  In  Anthropology  was  limited 
to  anthropology  students.  As  the  program  stood  now,  sociology  students 
·could  not  enter  their  core  courses  In  anthropology. 

Hughes  asked  If  he  understood  correctly  that  the  student  who  would  go 
Into  the  Interdisciplinary  program  would  not  be  searching  for  some 
understanding  of  a  number  of  fields  but  rather  getting  a  concept  of 
culture. 

Useem  satd  yes,  plus  a  cultural  area  In  some  instances. 

Swartz  said  that  If  one  offered  a  program  of  this  sort,  one  ts  committed 
to  quite  a  number  of  things  and  he  didn't  know  If  the  Department  of 
Anthropology  would  want  to  be  committed  to  this. 

Artis  pointed  out  that  at present  there  ts  relatively  little  structure 
beyond  the  Qualifying  Examination.  He  pointed  out  that  two  concepts 
of minor  float  around  -- the  old  concept  was  that  a  person  who  took  one•thlrd 
of  his  work  In  a  discipline  could  say  that  he  could  teach  11X11  with  full 
competence  and  he  could  teach  11V11  with  some  degree  of  competence.  Some 
people  used  to  take  30-36  hours.  Interdisciplinary  programs  evolved  when 
the  mfnor  shrunk  In  credit  hours.  Artis  said  they  would  like  the  Inter 
disciplinary  arrangement  with  anthropology  but  that  the  pattern may  need 
some  revision. 

Hughes  pointed  out  that  a  great  deal  of  emphasis  had  been  put  In  the 
Department  of  Anthropology  manual  on  the  gufdance  committee,  and  that 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  feels  the  guidance  c0fl11llttee  does  give 
a  great  deal  of  thought  to  working  out  a  program  that  will  satisfy  the 
student's  Interest. 

Swartz  asked  If  formal  arrangements  exist  for  those  In  the  program  now. 

McKee  said  they  do  exist  but  they  can  be  changed. 

Artis  said  that  a  student  In  the  Department  of  Sociology  now  could  take 
either  program~- major-minor  or  Interdisciplinary  and  that  we  would 
like  to  continue  both  types  of  programs. 

~ seem  stressed  that  he  did  not  want  to  be  misunderstood  but  that  he 
I  wanted  to  state  that  the  Department  of  Socfology  wants  its  own  students 
·  who  engage  In  comparative  and  cross-cultural  studies  to  be  adequately 

trained  In  culture.  The  Department  of  Soctology  would  prefer  and  would 
appreciate  to  have  them  trained  In  this  aspect  by  the  Department  of 
Anthropology;  however,  If  qualified  students  fn  socfology  cannot  be  regularly 
incorporated  In  som~  of  the  core  course.sand  other  advanced  courses  of 
the  Department  of  Anthropology,  the  Department  of  Sociology  will  have  to 
set  up  Its  own  courses  on  culture  tn  order  to  train  them.

Swartz  asked  If  the  Department  of  Anthropology  does  not  choose  to 
participate,  would  the  Department  of  Sociology  accept  anthropology  students 
as  minors. 

Useem  said  that  the  Department  of  Sociology  would  accept  them  but  they 
could  not  take  core  courses  except  by  special  permission  of  Department 
of  Sociology.  The  reason  for  this  is  that  we  have  several  hundred 
minors  and  we  do  not  wJsh  to  flood  our  core  courses  wJth  minors. 

It would  be  possible  to  establish  a  principle  of  reciprocity  betwean 
the  two  departments  In  which  minors  on  both  sides  would  be  given  selective 
preference  for  core  courses  In  the  other  department,  and  this  ts  open  to 
negotiation.for  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Hughes  suggested  that  perhaps  we  need  a  plan  to  be  called  "Joint  departmental 
program." 

Hughes  sa Id  that  he  would  have  to  contact  Ors.  lsh lno  and  Maxwell  about 
the  concept  and  that  he  could  let  the  Department  of  Sociology  know  what 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  wishes  by  May  1. 

Useem  then  posed  questions  relating  to  Individual  students.  Useem  mentioned 
the  case  of  Oliver  Osborne  In  which  Ors.  Freeman  and  Useem  did  not  sit  In 
on  the  comprehensJve  as  they  felt  Osborne  had  fulfilled  all  of  the  require 
ments  for  a  sociology  minor. 

Hughes  said  he  agreed. 

Useem  said  If  a  student  from  •oclology  worked  on  hts  minor,  for  example, 
with  Dr.  Gall in  then  the  student  takes  whatever  courses  Dr.  Gall In  advised. 
The  minor  professor  should  always  be  Informed  when  the  gufdance  meetings 
are  held  and  be  Invited  to  attend  such  meetings. 

Hughes  said  that  he  agreed. 

Useem  mentioned  the  case  of  Beech.  She  is  getting  a  Ph.D.  degree  In 
sociology  but  Nicholas  ts  directing  the  thesJs  and  he  and  Useem  are 
formally  designated  as  co-chairman.  Her  total  academic  program  needs 
clarification. 

Hughes  said  that  he  would  assume  that  she  has  or  wilt  satisfactorily pass 
all  the  requirements  for  a  degree  In  sociology  and  that  It  would  be 
satJsfactory  to  administer  her  Ph.D.  program  comprehensives  with  the  same 
convnlttee  which  Includes  both  anthropologists  and  sociologists. 

Swartz  saJd  he  would  agree  because  It  was  the  case  of  someone  who  had 
already  been  started  on  the  program  prior  to  July  I,  1964  and  that  by 
so  doing  It  would  not  conmlt  the  Department  of  Anthropology  to  a  principle 
of  continuing  this  arrangement. 

Useem  mentioned  David  \·linter  who  rs  In  Pakistan  doJng  research  under 
Useem's  direction.  Hinter  Is  working  for  a  Ph.D.  In  anthropology. 

Page  Five 

Gallln  Indicated  that  Winter  should  have  a  chairman  of  his  guidance 
committee  In  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Useem  asked  If  he  could  assume  that  the  major  professor  chosen  would  go 
along  with  the  thesis  as  it  Is  evolving  under  his  direction. 

Agreed. 

Useem  asked  that  the  Department  of  Anthropology  desfgnate  a  major  professor 
In  anthropology  for  Winter  as  soon  as  possible,  with  the  understanding  · 
that  he  (Useem)  continues  as  the  thesis  advisor. 

Useem  asked  how  many  hours  the  Department  of  Anthropology  required  for  a 
minor. 

Hughes  said  that  as  a  general  rule  of  thumb  18-20  hours.  With  the  change 
Jn  course  credits  being  considered  It  would  probably  amount  to  four  courses. 

Useern  asked  about  the  Jangu~ge  substftute  -- to  whom  should  the  lndividuaJ 
turn  to  In  the  Department  of  Anthropology  for  advice. 

Hughes  sa Id  the  student  should  go  to. the  Department  of  Anthropology  Cha lrman. 

Useem  pointed  out  that  In  reverse  Instances,  the  anthropology  student 
should  go  dtrectly  to  a  professor  In  the  Department  of  Sociology. 

Gall In  said  the  steps  would  be  (1)  student  go  to  the  Department  of  Anthro 
pology  Chairman  and  (2)  the  Department  of  Anthropology  Chairman  would  send 
them  out  to  a  professor  and  (3)  the  professor  would  work  this  out  with  the 
guidance  committee. 

Item  #5--Guidance  Commi t tee  and  the  Role  of  the  Graduate  Student: 
Useem  said  that  In  sociology  the  policy  ts  for  the  student  to  identify 
the  person  wtlllng  to  serve  as  chairman  and  the  members  of  the  guidance 
committee  which  Is  in  turn  approved  (In  most  cases)  by  the  Department 
Chairman.  Hughes  said  that  the  Department  of  Anthropology  responds  dif 
ferently.  The  Initiative  Is  placed  on  the  graduate  student  to  Identify  the 
co111T1lttee,  then  the  committee  has  to  get  together.  Gall In  added  the  student 
then  confers  with  the  Chairman  of  the  Department  and  the  Chairman  of  the 
Department  or  his  representative  is  on  every  committee. 

Useem  raised  the  case  of  Saghir  Ahmad.  After  checking,  It  was  discovered 
that  Saghlr  had  declared  his  11home11  department  to  be  socfology. 

Useem  asked  about  the  case  of  Mrs.  Garner.  Dr.  Ruth  Useem  became  a 
sponsor  of  her  NIH  grant  at  Dr.  Hughes•  suggestion. 

Hughes  said  that  he  had  understood  Dr.  Ruth  Useem  wanted  him  to  be  the 
sponsor  and  that  he  would  clarify  this  with  Dr.  Ruth  Useem. 

Item  #8--Cross-lJsttnq  of  courses: 
McKee  mentioned  the  cross-listing  of  466  and  473  at  the  undergraduate 
level  and  the  cross-listing  of  825  and  865  at  the  graduate  level.  The 

Page  Stx 

other  Issue  that  had  come  up  Is  433  and  434.  McKee  said  that  Donoghue  had 
offered  433  two  years  as  a·course  on  mlnoritltes  around  the  world  with 
different  people  lecturing.  Out  of  that  experience  came  the  suggestion 
from  Donoghue  that  another  course  be  lnstituteda-434  which  would  provide 
a  sequence.  A verbal  agreement  had  been  reached  that  433  and  434  would 
alternate.  McKee  said  that  he  had  listed  433  this  Spring  without  an 
Instructor  listed.  Donoghue  felt  this  was  a  violatlon  of  theagreement  as 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  was  offer Ing  Li34  th Is  Spr t ng.  To  have 
Sociology  offer  the  course  433  on  alternate  years  is  a  problem  McKee  pointed 
out  as  433  has  a  very  strong  Interest  across  campus  right  now  -- civtl 
rights,  etc.  Last  Spring  McKee  had  an  enrollment  of  360  students  fn  the 
course. 

McKee  suggested  that  the  matter  of  offering  the  two  courses  be  worked 
out  in  some  mutually  satisfactory  way  that  would  allow  both  groups  some 
flexibility  In  meeting  the  demand  of  the  courses. 

Hughes  said  he  understood  from  McKee's  discussion  the  need  for  not  putting 
433  on  only  every  other  year. 

Gallln  said  that  since  the  Department  of  Sociology  had  such  a  large  demand 
from  students  for  433,  the  Department  of  Anthropology  had  no  choice  but  to 
change  their  listing  schedule  for  this  Quarter. 

McKee  said  that  he  urges  people  who  take  433  to  also  take  434. 

Useem  asked  if  the  group  could  empower  McKee  and  a  representative  from  the 
Department  of  Anthropology  to  make  the  decision  on  future  scheduling  of  433 
and  434. 

Hughes  agreed. 

Useem  said  that  SOC  955  (Field  Methods)  which  has  been  taught  for  more  than 
a  decade,  was  scheduled  for  the  same  term  as  Swartz's  field  methods  course 
and  that  probably  SOC  955  would  be  changed  to  another  quarter.  Hughes  and 
Useem  agreed  that  all  decisions  and  changes  of  this  character  should  be 
communicated  to  each  other. 

Useem  asked  If  McKee  and  Gall In  could  work  out  the  arrangements  for  473  in 
the  future. 

Hughes  agreed. 

Useem  mentioned  that  the  Department  of  Sociology  Is  negotiating  with  a 
German  scholar  to  teach  cross-cultura 1  re lat Ions  th ts  next  Winter  but 
that  the  arrangements  are  st 111  be Ing  worked  out. 

Useem  mentioned  that  Raymond  Mack  would  teach  an  872  course  this  summer, 
"Problems  In  Cross-Cultural  Research." 

Item  #10--Preregulsttes  for  undergraduate  courses: 
Useem  said  that  It  had  been  previously  decided  to  have  both  departments 

Page  Seven 

examine  this  at  a  later  time.  Useem  asked  If  Hughes  wished  to  ask  McKee-Gall in 
to  discuss  this  and  then  present  their  conclusion  to  this  group. 

Hughes  agreed. 

McKee  pointed  out  that  decisions  could  not  be  made  until  sociology  knows 
about  possible  changes  In  SOC  241  and  SOC  251,  a  topic  now  under  considera 
tion  In  the  Department  of  Sociology 

Item  #11  lines  and  Levels  of  CommunJcatJon  Between  the  Two  Departments: 
Useem  proposed  that  the  two  groups  meet  regularly  every  year  to  discuss  matters 
of  mutual  concern. 

Hughes  agreed  that  this  would  be  a  good  Idea. 

Item  12--Revlew  of  the  Department  of  Soclology•s  Graduate  Reference  Room: 
Useem  said  from  the  standpoint  of  the  Department  of  Sociology  everything 
currently  was  satisfactory  with  but  one  exception.  Useem  said  that  books 
have  been  missing  from  the  Reference  Room  and  he  asked  Hughes  to  bring 
pressures  on  anthropology  students  not  to  take  books  and  journals  from  the 
Reference  Room  and  not  to  let  other  non-major  students  Into  the  Room. 

Hughes  said  the  Reference  Room  arrangements  were  satisfactory  to  him  and 
that  he  would  advise  his  students  about  the  foregoing.

NOTES  ON  A MEETING 
BETWEEN 
DEPARTMENTS  OF  SOCIOLOGY  AND  ANTHROPOLOGY 

PRESENT:  Hughes,  Swartz,  Swindler,  Gallln,  Artis,  McKee,  and  Useem 

Hughes  said  he  felt  one  of  the  most  Important  and  appropriate  steps  to 
take  In  the  discussion  was  how  to  develop  meaningful  relations  between 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  and  the  Department  of  Sociology,  from  the 
point  of  view  of  faculty  members  who  want  to  have  occasions  for  working 
with  colleagues  In  the  Department  of  Sociology  and  from  the  point  of 
view  of  the  graduate  students.  Hughes  said  that  he  spoke  for  the  whole 
Department  of  Anthropology  when  he  said  that  he  wanted  to  strive  to 
reach  understandings  that  have  meaningful  patterns  for  both  departments. 

Useem  expressed  a  genuine  desire  on  the  part  of  the  Department  of 
Sociology  to  retain  and  build  viable  relationships.  Usecm  said  that  the 
Department  of  Sociology  shared  the  spirit  expressed  by  Dr.  H1_1ghes  on 
behalf  of  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Hughes  said  one  problem  is  the  arrangements  for  joint  training  In  a 
discipline  that  Is  supplemented  by  or  given  more  Insight  by  training 
in  the  other  departments.  The  Department  of  Anthropology  development 
of  policy  guidelines  includes  and  rests  upon  close  work  with  the  student 
and  the  guidance  committee.  For  the  students  who  started  before  the7 
__ 
split,  the  new  patterns  would  have  to  be  modified. 

Useem  said  the  Department  of  Sociology  could  consider  abandoning  this 
particular  interdisciplinary  program  although  he  stressed  that  the  Department 
of  Sociology  could  do  so  but  not  necessarily  should  do  so.  The  Department 
of  Sociology  may  wish  to  explore  some  alternatives.  Thus  It  would  be  pos 
sible  to  retain  the  Interdisciplinary  pattern  for  those  students  who  are 
members  of  the  Department  of  Sociology  but  not  have  the  equivalent  arrange 
ment  for  students  In  the  Department  of  Anthropology  -- If  that  Is  what 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  prefers.  Useem  quoted  from  the  minutes  of 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  and  Socfology  representatives'  meeting  of 
July  21 •••• ft  was  suggested  that  for  students  already  here,  perhaps 
their  11home11  department  would  be  the  department  In  which  their  guidance 
committee  chairman  resides, •• 

Hughes  said  that  he  didn't  think  It  was  clear  the  way  In  which  the  core 
program  would  proceed.  He  said  that  he  was  somewhat  confused  on  the 
differences,  Implied  or  real,  between  the  tnterdlsclplfnary  program  and 
the  usual  major-minor. 

McKee  quoted  from  the  Department  of  Sociology  Graduate  Manual  Page  14 
which  sets  forth  the  procedures  for  setting  up  the  guidance  committee. 
Mcl<ee  pointed  out  the  guidance  committee,  In  determining  the  "comprehensive" 
examination  for  the  student,  does  not  duplicate  the  core  program  and  its 
related  "qualtfytng"  examination.

Swartz  Ind lcated  that  he  was  not  aware  that  there  was  an  I nterd lscip 1 inary 
program  and  asked  what  the  legal  status  of  such  a  program  would  be. 

Useem  read  the  letter  from  Vice  President  Muelder  to  the  Registrar  (June  30, 
1964),  with  respect  to  the  lnterdlclpllnary  Program,  the  student  getting 
a  Ph.D.  after  July  1,  196!}  would  get  the  degree  In  his  "home  department." 

Gallln  Indicated  there  was  no  reference  to  the  lnterdlsclpltnary  Program 
1n  the  Department  of  Anthropology  Graduate  Manual  but  that  there  was  a 
reference  to  major-minor  on  Page  Three  ••• When  It  is  appropriate,  an 
M.A.  student  may  have  a  member  of  another  department  as  a  third  member 
of  hts  committee •• , 
the  guidance  committee  will  consist  of  a  chairman  and  two  other  members, 
at  least  one  of  whom  ts  on  the  anthropology  faculty.  The  Chairman 
of  the  Department  of  Anthropology  or  his  representative  Is  a  member  of 
the  guidance  committee  of  each  Ph.D.  candidate.,. 

In  the  case  of  a  student  working  for  a  Ph.D.  degree, 

Useem  said  that  it  was  necessary  to  clarify what  the  Department  of 
Anthropology  (1)  prefers  -- for  Its  own  students  the  major-minor  concept, 
the  format  of  the  Department  of  Sociology  lnterdfscfpllnary  Program,  or 
some  other  scheme,  and  (2}also  what  It  would  accept--apart  from  the  above 
decJslon,  with  respect  to  the  Department  of  Sociology's 
Program.  Artis  asked  Hughes  If  the  Department  of  Anthropology  had  many 
Inquiries  from  students  who  wished  to  come  here  because  of  a  joint  depart• 
ment. 

Interdisciplinary 

-

Hughes  said  they  received  a  fair  number  of  these  fnqulrfes. 

Hu~hes  said  that  for  those  students  who  want  some  anthropology  training  as 
part  of  thefr  training  in  sociology  they  could  take  part  of  their  training 
in  the  Department  ofAnthropology  and  have  members  of  the  Department 
of  Anthropology  on  their  committee. 

Useem  said  that  he  felt  one  Important  difference  between  the  major-minor 
concept  and  the  Interdisciplinary  Program  is  the  Qualifying  Examfnatton; 
that  the  Department  of  Sociology  requfres  that  the  student  at  this  level  to 
demonstrate  In  a  test  that  he  can  go  on  to  Ph.D.  Useem  noted  that  a 
similar  arrangement  exists  with  the  Department  of  Psychology  for  students 
In  social  psychology.  Useem  pointed  out  that  due  to  the  large  numbers 
of  minors  and  cognates  working  In  sociology,  the  conventional  minor 
program  In  sociology  is  not  highly  formalized.  Usually  the  student  takes 
12-15  hours  In  liberal  arts  types  of  courses  In  sociology  for  which 
the  examination  ts  often  waived, 

Useem  asked  of  the  Department  of  Anthropology  would  consider  whether  or 
not  they  might  endor~c  n111·  f,,toi-dlsctpl lnary  program  for  students  ln  the 
Department  of  Sociology,  apart  from  whether  or  not  such  a  program  Is 
made  avaflable  to  students  In  the  DepartmP.nt  of  /\11thropolo9y.  This  Includes 
for  students  In  sociology  the  following  core  courses: 

Soc.  963 
Anp.,  872 
Soc,  977 

Anp.  922 
Soc.  955 
Anp.  923 

Page  Three 

Hughes  satd  that  this  would  have  to  be  discussed  In  the  Department  as 
not  everyone  had  been  aware  of  the  format  of  the  program. 

Swartz  pointed  out  that  the  core  program  In  Anthropology  was  11mlted 
to  anthropology  students.  As  the  program  stood  now,  soclo1ogy  students 
could  not  enter  their  core  courses  In  anthropology. 

Hughes  asked  If  he  understood  correctly  that  the  student  who  would  go 
Into  the  Interdisciplinary  program  would  not  be  searching  for  some 
understanding  of  a  number  of  fields  but  rather  getting  a  concept  of 
culture. 

Useem  satd  yes,  plus  a  cultural  area  tn  some  Instances. 

Swartz  said  that  If  one  offered  a  program  of  this  sort,  one  Is  committed 
to  quite  a  number  of  things  and  he  didn't  know  If  the  Department  of 
Anthropology  would  wa~t  to  be  committed  to  this. 

Artis  pointed  out  that  at  present  there  Is  relatfve1y  little  structure 
beyond  the  Qualifying  Examination.  He  pointed  out  that  two  concepts 
of  minor  float  around•- the  old  concept  was  that  a  person  who  took  one~thtrd 
of  his  work  In  a  dlsclpltne  could  say  that  he  could  teach  11X11  with  full 
competence  and  he  could  teach  "V"  with  some  degree  of  competence.  Some 
people  used  to  take  30-36  hours.  Interdisciplinary  programs  evolved  when 
the  minor  shrunk  In  credit  hours.  Artis  said  they  would  like  the  fnter 
disctpltnary  arrangement  with  anthropology  but  that  the  pattern  may  need 
some  revision. 

Hughes  pointed  out  that  a  great  deal  of  emphasis  had  been  put  In  the 
Department  of  Anthropology  manual  on  the  guidance  committee,  and  that 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  feels  the  guidance  comnlttee  does  give 
a  great  deal  of  thought  to  working  out  a  program  that  will  satisfy  the 
student's  Interest. 

Swartz  asked  If  formal  arrangements  exist  for  those  In  the  program  now. 

McKee  said  they  do  exist  but  they  ean  be  changed. 

Artis  said  that  a  student  In  the  Department  of  Sociology  now  could  take 
either  program"- major-minor  or  Interdisciplinary  and  that  we  would 
like  to  contfnue  both  types  of  programs. 

Useem  stressed  that  he  did  not  want  to  be  misunderstood  but  that  he 
wanted  to  state  that  the  Department  of  Sociology  wants  its  own  students 

' who  engage  In  comparative  and  eross-cultural  studfes  to  be  adequately 

trained  In  culture.  The  Department  of  Sociology  would  prefer  and  would 
appreciate  to  have  them  trafned  In  this  aspect  by  the  Department  of 
Anthropology;  however,  If  qualified  students  In  sociology  cannot  be  regularly 
incorporated  In  some  of  the  core  courses  and  other  advanced  courses  of 
the  Department  of  Anthropology,  the  Department  of  Sociology  will  have  to 
set  up  Its  own  cQurses  on  culture  in  order  to  train  them.

Swartz  asked  Jf  the  Department  of  Anthropology  does  not  choose  to 
participate,  wou1d  the  Department  of  Sociology  accept  anthropology  students 
as  minors. 

Useem  said  that  the  Department  of  Sociology  would  accept  them  but  they 
could  not  take  core  courses  except  by  special  permission  of  Department 
of  Sociology.  The  reason  for  this  ts  that  we  have  several  hundred 
minors  and  we  do  not  wish  to  flood  our  core  courses  with  minors. 

It would  be  possible  to  establish  a  principle  of  reciprocity  between 
the  two  departments  In  which  minors  on  both  sides  would  be  given  selective 
preference  for  core  courses  In  the  other  department,  and  this  ts  open  to 
negotlatJon , for  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Hughes  suggested  that  perhaps  we  need  a  plan  to  be  called  "Joint  departmental 
program." 

Hughes  said  that  he  would  have  to  contact  Ors.  lshtno  and  Maxwell  about 
the  concept  and  that  he  could  let  the  Department  of  Sociology  know  what 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  wishes  by  May  1. 

Useem  then  posed  questions  relatfng  to  Individual  students.  Useem  mentioned 
the  case  of  Oliver  Osborne  In  which  Ors.  Freeman  and  Useem  did  not  sit  In 
on  the  comprehensive  as  they  felt  Osborne  had  fulfilled  all  of  the  require• 
· 
ments  for  a  sociology  minor. 

Hughes  said  he  agreed. 

Useem  said  If  a  student  from  •oclology  worked  on  his  minor,  for  example, 
with  Dr.  Galltn  then  the  student  takes  whatever  courses  Dr.  Ga11  In  ·edvfsed. 
The  minor  professor  should  always  be  Informed  when  the  guJdance  meetings 
are  held  and  be  Invited  to  attend  such  meetings. 

Hughes  said  that  he  agreed. 

Useem  mentioned  the  case  of  Beech.  She  Is  getting  a  Ph.D.  degree  In 
sociology  but  Nicholas  ls  directing  the  thesis  and  he  and  Useem  are 
formally  designated  as  co-chairman.  Her  total  academic  program  needs 
clarification. 

Hughes  said  that  he  would  assume  that  she  has  or  will  satisfactorily  pass 
all  the  requirements  for  a  degree  In  sociology  and  that  ft  would  be 
sat lsfacto1·y  to  administer  her  Ph.D.  program  comprehens Ives  with  the  same 
committee  which  Includes  both  anthropologists  and  sociologists. 

Swartz  said  he  would  agree  because  It  was  the  case  of  someone  who  had 
already  been  started  on  the  program  prior  to  July  1,  1964  and  that  by 
so  doing  It  would  not  commit  the  Department  of  Anthropology  to  a  principle 
of  continuing  this  arrangement. 

Useem  mentioned  David  Winter  who  Is  In  Pakistan  doing  research  under 
Useem 1s  direction.  Winter  Is  working  for  a  Ph.D.  In  anthropology. 

Page  Five 

Galltn  Indicated  that  Winter  should  have  a  chairman  of  his  guidance 
committee  In  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

Useem  asked  If  he  could  assume  that  the  major  professor  chosen  would  go 
along  with  the  thesis  as  it  Is  evolving  under  his  direction. 

Agreed. 

Useem  asked  that  the  Department  of  Anthropology  designate  a  major  professor 
In  anthropology  for  Winter  as  aoon  as  possible,  with  the  understanding 
that  he  (Useem)  continues  as  the  thesis  advisor. 

Useem  asked  how  many  hours  the  Department  of  Anthropology  requl-red  for  a 
minor. 

Hughes  said  that  as  a  general  rule  of  thumb  18-20  hours.  With  the  change 
In  course  credits  being  considered  It  would  probably  amount  to  four  courses. 

Useem  asked  about  the  langu~ge  substitute  -- to  whom  should  the  Individual 
turn  to  In  the  Department  of  Anthropology  for  advice. 

Hughes  said  the  student  should  go  to  the  Department  of  Anthropology  Chairman. 

Useem  pointed  out  that  In  reverse  Instances,  the  anthropology  student 
should  go  directly  to  a  professor  In  the  Department  of  Sociology. 

Gallln  said  the  steps  would  be  (1)  student  go  to  the  Department  of  Anthro 
pology  Chairman  and  (2)  the  Department  of  Anthropology  Chairman  would  send 
them  out  to  a  professor  and  (3)  the  professor  would  work  this  out  with  the 
guidance  committee. 

Item  #5--Gutdance  Commi t tee  and  the  Role  of  the  Graduate  Student: 
Useem  said  that  In  sociology  the  policy  ts  for  the  student  to  Identify 
the  person  wllltng  to  serve  as  chairman  and  the  members  of  the  guidance 
committee  which  Is  In  turn  approved  (In  most  cases)  by  the  Department 
Chairman.  Hughes  safd  that  the  Department  of  Anthropology  responds  dif 
ferently.  The  Initiative  Is  placed  on  the  graduate  student  to  Identify  the 
committee,  then  the  committee  has  to  get  together.  Ga111n  added  the  student 
then  confers  with  the  Chairman  of  the  Department  and  the  Chairman  of  the 
Department  or  his  representative  ts  on  every  committee. 

Useem  raised  the  case  of  Saghtr  Ahmad.  After  checking,  It  was  discovered 
that  Saghfr  had  declared  his  "home"  department  to  be  sodology., 

Useem  asked  about  the  case  of  Mrs.  Garner.  Dr.  Ruth  Useem  became  a 
sponsor  of  her  NIH  grant  at  Dr.  Hughes  I  suggestion. 

Hughes  said  that  he  had  understood  Dr.  Ruth  Useem  wanted  him  to  be  the 
sponsor  and  that  he  would  clarify  this  with  Dr.  Ruth  Useem. 

Item  #8--Cross-llstlng  of  courses: 
Mcl<ee  ment toned  the  cross-11st ing  of  466  and  473  at  the  undergraduate 
level  and  the  cross-listing of  825  and  86S  at  the  graduate  level.  The 

Page  She 

other  Issue  that  had  come  up  ts  433  and  434,  McKee  said  that  Donoghue  had 
offered  433  two  years  as  a·course  on  mlnorltltes  around  the  world  with 
different  people  lecturing.  Out  of  that  experience  came  the  suggestion 
from  Donoghue  that  another  course  be  lnstituted--434  which  would  provide 
a  sequence.  A verbal  agreement  had  been  reached  that  433  and  434  would 
alternate.  McKee  said  that  he  had  listed  433  this  Spring  without  an 
instructor  listed.  Donoghue  felt  this  was  a  violation  of  theagreement  as 
the  Department  of  Anthropology  was  offer Ing  !~34  th Is  Spr Ing.  To  have 
Sociology  offer  the  course  433  on  alternate  years  Is  a  problem  McKee  pointed 
out  as  433  has  a  very  strong  Interest  across  campus  right  now  -- civil 
rights,  etc.  Last  Spring  McKee  had  an  enrollment  of  360  students  In  the 
course. 

McKee  suggested  that  the  matter  of  offering  the  two  courses  be  worked 
out  in  some  mutually  satisfactory  way  that  would  allow  both  groups  some 
flexibility  In  meeting  the  demand  of  the  courses. 

Hughes  said  he  understood  from  McKee's  discussion  the  need  for  not  putting 
433  on  only  every  other  year. 

Gallln  said  that  since  the  Department  of  Sociology  had  such  a  large  demand 
from  students  for  433,  the  Department  of  Anthropology  had  no  choice  but  to 
change  their  listing  schedule  for  this  Quarter. 

McKee  said  that  he  urges  people  who  take  433  to  also  take  434. 

Useem  asked  If  the  group  could  empower  Hcl<ee  and  a  representative  from  the 
Department  of Anthropology  to  make  the  decision  on  future  scheduling  of  433 
and  434. 

Hughes  agreed. 

Useem  said  that  SOC  955  (Field  Methods)  which  has  been  taught  for  more  than 
a  decade,  was  scheduled  for  the  same  term  as  Swartz's  field  methods  course 
and  that  probably  SOC  955  would  be  changed  to  another  quarter.  Hughes  and 
Useem  agreed  that  all  decisions  and  changes  of  this  character  should  be 
communicated  to  each  other. 

Useem  asked  If  McKee  and  Gall In  could  work  out  the  arrangements  for  473  In 
the  future. 

Hughes  agreed. 

Useem  mentioned  that  the  Department  of  Sociology  Is  negotiating  with  a 
German  scholar  to  teach  cross-cultural  relations  this  next  Winter  but 
that  the  arrangements  are  still  being  worked  out. 

Useem  mentioned  that  Raymond  Mack  would  teach  an  872  course  this  surrmer, 
"Problems  In  Cross-Cultural  Research." 

Item  #10--Preregufsftes  for  undergraduate  courses: 
Useem  said  that  It  had  been  previously  decided  to  have  both  departments 

Page  Seven 

examine  this  at  a  later  time.  Useem  asked  If  Hughes  wished  to  ask  McKee-Gall in 
to  discuss  this  and  then  present  their  conclusion  to  this  group. 

Hughes  agreed. 

McKee  pointed  out  that  decisions  could  not  be  made  until  sociology  knows 
about  possible  changes  in  SOC  241  and  SOC  251,  a  topic  now  under  considera 
tion  in  the  Department  of  Sociology 

Item  #11  Lines  and  Levels  of  Communlcatlon  Between  the  Two  Departments: 
Useem  proposed  that  the  two  groups  meet  regularly  every  year  to  discuss  matters 
of  mutual  concern. 

Hughes  agreed  that  this  would  be  a  good  Idea. 

Item  12--Revlew  of  the  Department  of  Soctology 1s  Graduate  Reference  Room: 
Useem  said  from  the  standpoint  of  the  Department  of  Sociology  everything 
currently  was  satisfactory with  but  one  exception.  Useem  said  that  books 
have  been  missing  from  the  Reference  Room  and  he  asked  Hughes  to  bring 
pressures  on  anthropology  students  not  to  take  books  and  journals  from  the 
Reference  Room  and  not  to  let  other  non-major  students  Into  the  Room. 

Hughes  said  the  Reference  Room  arrangements  were  satisfactory  to  him  and 
that  he  would  advise  his  students  about  the  foregoing.

From:  Ralph  Nicholas 

March  25,  1965  11:JO  a.m. 

Just  had  a  "strong"  telephone  call  from  John  Useem  concerning  the  language 

which  I  recommended  Mary  Jane  Beech  use  in  describing  her  program.  She  had 

originally  described  herself  as  a  "Graduate  Student  in  the  Interdisciplinary 

Program  in  Sociology  and  Anthropology  in  the  Department  of  Sociology." 

I 

suggested  that  she  say  "I  am  a  graduate  student  in  the  Department  of  Sociology 

at  Michigan  State  University  working  toward  the  Ph.D.  in  Sociology  with  a 

minor  in  Anthropology. 

I  completed  the  basic  coursework  and  passed  the 

qualifying  Examination  in  the  Interdisciplinary  Sociology  and  Anthropology 

Program  in  June,  1964." 

John's  comment  was  ''we  do  have  in  interdisciplinary  program  in  Sociology 

-, 

and  Anthropology  in  the  Department  of  Sociology  -- it is  a  going  concern. 

It  is  assymetrical  and  apparently  not  a  reciprocal  one  with  the  Department 

of  Anthropology." 

I  said  it sounded  like  an  Australian  marriage  system.  He 

agreed  and  said  that  !:izka  I  "had  changed  the  marriage  system  without 

consulting  the  grandmother." 

I  suggested  he  was  more  a  grandfather  than  a 

grandmother  and  that  I  was  not  in  a  position  to  make  decisions  about  this 

program  one  way  or  the  other.  Mary  Jane  did  enter  under  the  "interdisciplinary 

program,"  took  her  qualifying  examinations  in  it,  and  I  presume  that  she 

can  complete  her  Ph.D  under  the  "old  rules"  -- whatever  they  are.

anthropology  courses  would  count  on  the minor  and  vice  versao  Group  agrt~ed  to 
this  proposal. 

All  ~ e   that a  student  in  sociology who  wishes  to minor  in anthropology would 
be  :requested  to go  to chaiman of anthropology  department  and  then  be  reassi ,  ed 
to a  m.i.nar  in department  of anthropology and  vice veraa.

If an  anthrnpology  stu ent wante-:1 to rninor  in  oocial  psychology  ther.e  would  he 
nothing  differnnt  except  to  see  that  a  social psychologist was  on  the  camnit .ee . 

Useem  mentioned  the  three  types  of  M .. A ..  candidates:  1.  Plan A which  leads  t o 
'lbe  foreign  terminal  type;  3.  The  in.advertant  washout  (the 
Ph.D.  candidacy;  2o

·th the  depar~nt chairman  for  bo·th  departments..  Useem  and 

Hughes  agroed  to get  each  de-pai"'tlnent  agi,eenent  on  this  point. 

It was  tentatively  indicated  pending  purther  investigation of  each  student~s 
"ntet"eSts  that th  J.x,noghue-tenninal  foreign  students would  be  "houeed"  in 
Sociology.  It 
mernbem  frcm  each  department  on  their conmittees .. 

a  also agNed that  Donoghue-terminal  foreign  students would  have

The  Liaison  Corrmittee  suggests  that  these  students  be  permitted  to  maintain  their

of  the  Department  of  Anthropology  and  the  Department  of  Sociology  who·  do  not  now 
possess  desks  tn  these  areas  and  who  express  a  desire  for  desks  might  fl 11  out  a 
request  form  during  registration.  These  forms  could  be  distributed  to  eligible 
and  interested  students  by  the  secretaries  of  each  department. 
Immediately  after 
registration  the  Liaison  Committee  ¼~uld  evaluate  these  requests  and  assign  desks 
according  to  the  established  priorities.  These  priorities  are: 
assistants;  2)  Ph.Di  candidates  writing  dissertations  (priorities  1  and  2  are  reversed 
for  the  purpose  of  assigning  space  in  the  quonsets);  3)  fellows  and  scholarship 
students;  l•)  Ph.D.  candidates  who  have  successfully  completed  their  core  qualifying 
examinations;  5)  M.Ao  candidates;  6)  Non-degree  graduate  students.  The  request 
forms  will  be  utilized  to  advise  students  of  the  temporary  status  of  the  desk 
space  in  the  quonsets.

Since  a11  students  possessing  keys  to  the  graduate  library  will  also  have  access 

to  the  areas  where  equipment  and  facilities  are  kept 9  the  Liaison  Committee  does 
not  envision  any  problems  reiated  to  the  equitable  utilization  of  the  equipment 
and  facilities.  However,  the  question  of  the  utility  of  the  mailboxes  in  room  309 
Berkey  Hall  has  been  discussed.  The  Liaison  Committee  and  the  Chairman,  Depart 
ment  of  Anthropology,  have  made  arrangements  for  graduate  students  of  the 
Department  of  Anthropology  to  have  their  mailboxes  placed  within  the  offices  of 
the  Department  of  Anthropo1ogyo 

The  Liaison  Committee  wi11  delegate  the  responsibility  fol"  the  maintenance, 

and  proper  use  of  the  equipment  and  facilities  to  a  sub-committee  of  graduate

VI. 

D. 

A M.A.  degree  Is  In  no  way  required  of  students  In  the  doctoral 

program,  but  a  doctoral  student  may,  If  he  wl  he4,  submit  a 

master's  thesis  to  his  guidance  conwnltee  at  any  time  (within 

limits  set  by  the  University)  after  he  has  C0111)1eted  the  other 

requirements  for  the  H.A.  degree.  Upon  acceptance  of  the 

thesis,  the  H.A.  degree  will  be  granted  to  a  doctoral  student 

exactly  as  it  would  be  granted  to  a  student  who  began  his  work 

with  the  understanding  that  he  would  seek  the  H.A.  degree. 

Entering  graduate  students  who,  In  the  opinion  of  the  faculty, 

have  reeelved  t6ff1cient  training  elsewhere  can,  with  permission 

and  examination,  waive  specific  core  courses.  All  other  students 

seeking  either  a  Master  of  Arts  or  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree, 

must  co~lete  the  Cffe  program. 

A.  Even  though  an  H.A.  degree  is  not  required  of  a  student  prior  to 

q 

his  enter.ing  the  doctoral  program,  he  is  required  to  pass  a 

Ph;O.  Qualifying  Examination.  This  examination  will  normally 

be  given  when  the  student  has  satlsfactori1y  COfll)leted  all 

the  core  courses  (see  section  Ill  above  for  criteria)  and 

will  be  administered  by  the  student's  Guidance  COfflTllttee 

and  other  members  of  the  Departmental  faculty.  The  purpose 

of  the  Examination  (which  may  be  written  and/or  oral)  Is  to 

ascertain  whether,  in  the  judgement  of  the  faculty,  the  student 

is  qualified  by  demonstrated  scholarly  performance  and  a  know 

ledge  of  the  basic  concepts  of  anthropology  to  preceed  further 

in  graduate  study.  Upon  successful  C01T1>letlon  oft•• ~Examination 

the  student  either  continues  into  the  next  phase  of  the  Ph.D. 

program  (if  he  was  originally  enrolled  In  the  the  Department 

as  a  Ph.D.  candidate),  or,  If  originally  as  Master's  candidate, 

~nters  the  Ph;D.  progra. 

(see  sucmary  of  steps,  ef  steps,

,~  acccrdance  with  Llniversity  regulations,  no  student  who  has  not 

satisfied  the  foreign  language  requirement  may  take  the  Comprehensive 

Examination. 

8.  General  Graduate  School  Requirements 

In  addition  to  the  depart~ntal  requirements  for  the  Ph.D.  degree, 

there  are  certain  requirements  of  the  University  to  wt,ich  the 

c 

stude~t 's  attention  is  called. 

l.  Residence  and  Registration 

The  University  requires  that  a  student  be  in  residence  for  one 

full  year  after  COl'Tl)leting  the  M.A.  degree 

(er  its  equivalent), 

that  is,  must  be  enrolled  for  at  least  9  credit~  of  &ourse  work 

during  three  terms.  usually  consecutively.  Al  I  doctoral  students 

rn~st  register  and  pay  for  at  least  36  credits  of  doctoral  t~esis 

researcb,  this  may  be  done  at  any  time  duri~g  his  graduate  career. 

2.  Foreign  Language 

A  detailed  statement  about  the  foreign  1angu~ge  require~ent 

is  published  in  the  current  MSU  catalog.  No  foreign  language 

is  required  for  the  M.A.  degree.  but  the  depart~ent  strongly 

recommends  that  students  in  the  M.A.  program  who  expect  to 

continue  for  a  Ph.D.  complete  at  least  one  of  the  foreign  lan 

guage  examinations  before  taking  the  Master's  Examir.ation. 

Before  a  student  working  for  the  Ph.D.  can  take  the  Comprehensive 

Examination,  the  foreign  language  requirement  must  be  satisfied 

in  one  of  the  three  following  ways: 

(I)  The  student  must  demonstrate  a  reading  knowledge  of  two 

of  these  three  languages:  French,  German  and  R~ssien:  (2)  The 

student  must  have  a  reading  knowledge  of  either  French,  German 

or  Russian  and  another  language  which  Is  satisfactcry  t,~  his 

guidance  coornittee,  or  {I,  The  student  must  have  a  reading  ~now-
