Field program offers students chance to study Oregon desert For students who find it dif ficult to sit through traditional classroom instruction, natur alist Denzel Ferguson has a refreshing solution. The Oregon author and biologist visited the University last week to show slides of Ore gon’s desert country, and took the opportunity to encourage students to spend part of their summer studying out-of-doors at the Malheur Field Station in southeastern Oregon near Burns. Operated by Pacific Universi ty, the Malheur Field Station Summer Program offers a series of three-week science classes carrying University under graduate and graduate credit. Students choose classes ranging from Field Botany to Field Photography to Aboriginal Life Skills in the Northern Great Basin. Students who enroll in the program spend the three weeks studying Oregon’s high desert plants, wildlife and natural his China expert to speak Ross Terrill, considered one of the leading China experts in the United States, will speak on “The Problem of Mao and a Changing China’’ March 6 at 8 p m at Room 138 Gilbert Hall.

They often camp out in the field, with the field station serving as home base. Ferguson, this year's program director, called the field in struction "quite a different kind of learning” because students experience first-hand the natur al and man-caused problems of the desert. The "cold desert” region of Eastern Oregon has fascinated scientists for years because of its several unique species of plants and animals, he said. The science classes empha size the area’s natural and poli tical history, Ferguson said Several of his slides showed the adverse effects of erosion due to cattle overgrazing, which was the result of bad federal land use policies, he said. Homesteading and mining attempts have failed in the past, Ferguson said, but the early settlers recklessly scarred the fragile desert landscape in their attempts to make a profit from it. Now cattle ranchers taking ad vantage of federal grazing policies are doing the same thing, he added. "But the people who have really found the pots of gold in the desert are the biologists and the birdwatchers.” Photo by Erich Boekelheide University Inn residents Cathy Baker and Roland Sarlot spent a total of 27 hours painting this mural of The Beatles — a tribute to the late John Lennon — which is displayed next to the elevator on the fifth floor of the dorm.
