St. Helens symposium set By LESLIE FARRIS Of the Emerald The University Outdoor Pro gram will sponsor a three-day symposium on the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in conjuction with scientific, economic, and envir omental interest groups. The symposium is scheduled for the third week of May to coincide with the first anniver sary of the May 18 eruption. It will include a variety of speakers, workshops, panel discussions, geologic displays, films, slideshows, photo ex hibits, live music and other forms of entertainment. An organizational meeting for the symposium is being held today at 4:30 p.m. at the Out door Program office in the EMU basement. Symposium steering commit tee member Debbie McKay says the committee welcomes any one who would like to get in volved in organizing and developing the event. Those in terested should attend the meeting or contact the Outdoor Program at 686-3730 or 686-4365. “The forum will look at all different aspects of the eruption and its affect on land-use policies, the economic ramifications and environmen tal issues," McKay says. "It’s to celebrate this unique natural phenomenon but also to satisfy a quest for knowledge and understanding. “There are many learning op portunities for students through the symposium, not only in the scientific and historical processes that occurred in the volcano, but in the organization of the symposium as well,” McKay says. The objectives of the sympo sium are: • To increase understanding of the scientific processes in volved in the eruption and to learn what new information on volcanic activity in the Cas cades has resulted from recent research. • To promote awareness of the economic and social im pacts of the eruption on the Northwest. • To look at the cultural and spiritual relationships that have existed between the volcano and surrounding populations. • To publicize environmental issues and to motivate public involvement in the planning process for the local and regional communities as well as the mountain itself. McKay says the fate of Mount St. Helens and its resources already is being planned with out any process for public in volvement. The symposium will inform participants of man agement issues and perhaps motivate public involvement, she says. The Outdoor Program will be initiating trips to the volcano and other areas of geologic significance, such as Mt. Hood, Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainer, Mt. Adams and The Three Sisters. Library receives rare books A rare book collection, in cluding seven volumes printed before the 16th century and the serialized first printings of Charles Dickens' novels, was recently given to the University library. The 1,300 volumes include the work of printers Wynkyn de Worde, the first to print in Eng lish, and of Baskerville, an im portant pioneer of English type. Value of the books is estimated at $43,000. Authors represented include Spenser, Lamb, Shakespeare, Chaucer and Thackeray. Some highlights of the col lection are the first editions of Boswell’s "Life of Johnson,” Accidents kill student, leave 3 others injured One University student was killed and three others injured in two separate accidents last weekend.

The collection also contains many samples of late 19th and early 20th century presses in England and America, as well as more than 30 books of literary criticism written by Bishop Quayle. “Bishop Quayle was the ideal collector," says Edward Kemp, acquisitions librarian in the Special Collections Division "We have seen many a collection where the favorites have become passe, but in this case good taste prevails." But the gap in years between the bishop’s death and receipt of the collection, when the books were respected but not cared for, does cause need for serious care and restoration, Kemp says. For that reason, it will be several years before they’ll be displayed for the general public, according to Kemp Re searchers may use them on a limited basis.
