t i But it worksI USC geolo. earth's crv By Barry J. Glenn Gamecock Stall Writer The USC Geology Department is continuing to lead a North African stlirlv flimpH at HAvalnnSno notii M* VIVVV1V|/UI^ IIVx W theories on how the earth and its continents were formed. The $2.5 million study is funded by the National Science Foundation's Earth Sciences Branch. According to Dr. Robert Ehrlich, one of the USC professors involved, the study, which was begun in 1971 and is headed by Dr. William Kanes of USC, has brought together scientists and geologists from 35 colleges and universities in a team effort. Kanes, who has been declared a distinguished lecturer on the study's subject by the University College of Wales, is in England lecturing on the subject. EHRLICH SAID that although |~ land geologists had previously [ tended to be "lone wolves" working alone or in small groups, the North African study has utilized a team approach. "The team approach is not a traditional approach for geologists on the land, as it was in oceanographic study. But when we took the lessons we learned from oceanography and tried to apply them to the continents, it did not work." The GAMECOCK it the student newspaper of the University of South j Caorlina and is published three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the fail and spring semesters and once weekly on Thur- j sdays during both summer sessions with ij the exception of university holidays and j examination periods. j Opinions expressed in , the OAMECOCK are those of the editors and not those of the University of South Carolina.

EHRLICH SAID the knowled gained from the oceanograpt studies of the past did not help o much in the study of the continer because the continents' crusts a lighter than the crusts studi under the oceans.
