Future archaeologists en- joy polishing age-worn artifacts while would-be politicians get in shape for the diplomatic circle at fraternity parties. In the History Department, one of Wake ' s largest, one finds harrassed student teach- ers, G.S-9 hopefuls, and worldly prc-law students. Although their ambitions dif- fer, all history majors are united in their struggle with yearly departmental term papers and in the grasping of ideas and concepts which lie behind all histt)rical events.
