‘Spring Plants’ biology class
to observe flowering plants
Biology Prof. David Wagner
was leading a walk last spring at
Alton Baker Park to observe na
tive flowering plants — as he'd
done regularly for the past two
years — when a student asked if
it would be possible to get credit
for the walk.
This spring, the answer is yes.
Wagner says he expects as
many as 100 students to arrive
at the north end of the Autzen
foot bridge Thursday at 12:30
for the first meeting of his one
credit course.
Spring Plants, Biology 199, is
designed to give students ex
perience in observing and in
terpreting the seasonal
development of flowering
plants. Regular attendance in
the outdoor classroom is
crucial, Wagner says.
“This is a rain-or-shine thing.
You can’t be a fair weather na
ture lover.” Wagner plans to
change the day of the weekly
field trip to Alton Baker Park
from Thursdays to Tuesdays.
Students will be expected to
keep a log of observations each
week that will be turned in at the
end of the term. And brief,
weekly readings will be as
signed from a text on Northwest
plants and animals that Wagner
says “you’d like to have on your
bookshelf.”
Spring Plants is not designed
to be a hard-nosed course for
biologists, Wagner says.
“It’s something I'm doing very
informally. I’m promoting a
major appreciation.”
The course is offered only
during the spring because it’s
Sociology course studies
U.S. view of Third World
The way North American and
Third World peoples view one
another is the theme of “Amer
ica in Crisis: Choices for the
Future,” a sociology course of
fered this term through the
SEARCH program.
The class is taught by Devin
Hess and Kathy Knowles of the
African People's Solidarity
Committee. A film and speaker
series will be combined with
readings, projects, field trips,
discussions and political invol
vement.
Field trips will include a visit to
Berkeley, Calif., to take part in
African People’s Solidarity Day
activities. The Black Liberation
movement will be examined with
readings from works by Mal
colm X and various African
writers.
Speakers will include Juan
Rania of the Leonard Peltier
Defense Committee and repre
sentatives of the Iranian Student
Association.
Scott Reed, a student en
rolled in the course, says that it
is designed to teach ‘‘hands-on
political organizing."
‘‘It shows how people can
practically change their lives
politically,” he says.

Wagner also is director of the
University herbarium.
The size of the class has not
been limited, Wagner says, and
non-students are invited to
come along.
