layoffs include: Drs. Christina Reith (runs the largest museum office, 
25 employees, with ca. $10 million in pass-through money for spot

100 site reports a year, 6+ peer-reviewed papers/yr, has SUNY-SUCO 
students); John Lothrop (archeology, profoundly dedicated, hired 4 years 
ago with many promises);

J. Orston hired 4 years ago from Southern Illinois University where he 
was a "Distinguished Professor," editor of a major archeology journal;
