During Summer
This past summer, one group of UM students went tramping through the jungles of Africa while another group was climbing to the top of an active volcano in Guatemala. Both trips, part of academic workshops, were so successful that they will be repeated again next year along with a new workshop that will take students island hopping in the Caribbean.
For five years, Professors Fred Nagle and Jerry Stipp have taken upperclass Geology students to Guatemala for three weeks of intensive field studies. A course of this type is required of all Geology majors as an introduction to basic field observations, methods and the life style of the field geologist. Guatemala is an ideal location providing a wide variety of climates and terrain.
This was the first year for the Geography Department's trip to East Africa under the direction of Professors Don Capone and Harm de Blij.
The officers and Directors will take office at the first annual Arts and Sciences Homecoming Luncheon to be held on Thursday, November 16, at 12:30 p.m. in the Lau Founders Hall. Mr. David Kraslow, Publisher of the Miami News and UM Trustee will be our guest speaker.
The by-laws will be reviewed, revised and/or approved at the first meeting of the Board of Directors to be held on January 9, 1979. Copies of the by-laws are available on request through the Office of the
Dean, P.O.Box 248004, Coral Gables, Florida 33124 (Phone 284-5363) The by-laws as drafted are intended to be minimally restrictive to permit flexibility in establishing the association. Any comments, recommendations can be sent to the above address for forwarding to the Board.
The next general meeting of the Arts and Sciences Alumni Association will be held on Tuesday, January 16 at the Alumni House, 8:00 p.m. All College alumni are invited to attend.
