comprehensive 10-week course, "Dving into Histo-
ry," starting at 7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 19, in the meeting

Successful completion and certification will quali-
fy graduates as archaeological assistants on actual
expeditions and projects. The program includes ship
architecture, site surveying and mapping, underwater
photography, law and ethics, research, remote sens-

A major Australian university has recently recog-

unique content and effectiveness as the first of its
kind in underwater archaeology. The cost of the
course is $150 per person or $250 per married cou-
ple, including materials. For more information

causes Thursday, Jan. 1 I, 2001, in
Lewes.
Justice McNeilly was a 1936

and a 1940 graduate of Duke Uni-
versity in Durham, N.C. He began
studying law at the University of
Pennsylvania, but joined the U.S.
