Mal Boyce, MA'56, and Paul Raymond, MA'55, were two of the master's candidates, and Al Horowitz, PhD'59, and Phyllis Renzetti, PhD'61, comprised the doctoral element. In all, 14 students participated, traveling in dark green carryalls - a Chevy and two International Harvesters. Mishaps were many - nine flat tires, two blowouts, a rear door bashed in, and a ripped-off rear fender (that is how Tom Straw got his nickname!). Except for the Silurian, Triassic, and Jurassic, the group examined rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Plio-Pleistocene and collected a sufficient variety of rocks, minerals, and fossils to completely fill a tall Owen Hall lobby display case.

In 1988 and 1990, Hattin's wife, Marge, accompanied the trip and acted as timekeeper and driver of the lead vehicle. The year 1990 witnessed Bob Wintsch in action on a G420 spring-break trip that featured a traverse of the Appalachians in Alabama and Georgia. Wintsch's group arrived at an Alabama state park too late to register for a two-night stay and set up their five tents on one campsite. When Wintsch's group returned to the park on the following evening, a ranger pointed out that because only two tents were allowed per campsite, he'd have to charge for three campsites, a Students (and faculty) on G420 trip led by Tom Hendrix to the Ozarks in 1973.

8 John Barratt Patton Conference Room dedicated he large second-floor conference room in the T Indiana Geological Survey wing of the Geology Building has been named the John Barratt Patton Conference Room. This room has long been known informally as the "Elephant Room" because of the Bob Judah mural ofwooly man1111oths on one of the walls. The room honors John Patton, member of the faculty of the Department of Geological Sciences from 1949 to 1986 and chair from 1959 to 1971. Patton was director of the Indiana Geological Survey and state geologist from 1959 to 1986. He died in 1988. The official dedication ceremony, attended by more than 100 people, was held in the Patton Room on Nov. 6. John Steinmetz, the current state geologist, served as master of ceremonies and made brief comments about Patton's career and contribu­ tions to the survey and department. Haydn Murray described the influence of Patton on his decision to come to Indiana in 1951 and gave his impressions on the importance of Patton's contributions to the deparunent and survey. Murray also announced the Members of the Patton family who attended the dedication of the John Barratt establishment of a new endowment, the Patton Patton Conference Room are, from left, Barratt, Kim, John, Ashley, Beth, and Ian, (continued on page 10) with Jean (John's widow) seated in front.

Since 1996, Abhijit Basu has been editor of books for GSA, including Memoirs, Special Papers, and Reviews in Engineering Geology. Last summer, Chris Maples became editor of Palaios, a geobiological journal published by SEPM. Sara Marcus is serving as editorial assistant to Chris, handling much of the detailed daily activities of the editorial office. Palaios is one of the top five journals in the field of geobiology in terms of number of citations of papers. Maples is taking over the Palaios editorship from Robert Gastaldo at Colby College and Charles Savrda at Auburn Abhijit Basu is surrounded by the many GSA publications he has shepherded to final form.

Kauffman developed a strong sense of adventure while roaming the countryside of that farm and fishing for sunfish and trout in the accom­ panying creek. Kauffman's appreciation of the natural world was piqued by lessons taught to hin1 by his father, a forester for the American Forestry Association.

Tony Coates, assistant director for science at the Smithsonian Institution, served as master of ceremonies for the evening. Many of Kauffman's former students and colleagues also joined in the celebration. These included Al Fagerstrom from Ann Arbor, Jim Steidtman from the University of Wyoming, Enriqueta Barrera from NSF, Chris Kl10urey from Ohio, Denny and Karla Hubbard from Oberlin College, Carl and Joyce Koch from Old Dominion University; Peter Harries from the University of South Florida, Kristin Wood from New Orleans, Steve Good and Cindy Fisher from West Chester University; Dana Geary and family from the University of Wisconsin, and Kauffman's first graduate student, Bob Beauchamp, from the University of Maryland. Mike Arthur from Penn State and Brad Sagemen of Northwestern composed a song, "Of Perilous Seas in Faery Lands Forlorn (Ode to Erle)," which they sang to Kauffman, accompanied by guitars, commemorating the "old days" when they played music together. Erle and Claudia held a reception at their home prior to the banquet and a breakfast the following morning for their out-of-town guests. Congratulations, Erle, for your years of service to the department and IU and for your long and illustrious career as one of the world's foremost paleobiologists and stratigraphers. We are sure you will enjoy your retirement.

He returns that warmth with smiles and a generous sharing of ideas, thoughts, and speculations about the evolution of life and the Earth's ever­ changing environments. While at the Smithsonian, Kauffman accepted an adjunct professorship at George Washington University and taught night courses in stratigraphy and paleontology in the geology department. In 1980, he was recruited as an external chair by the University of Colorado, Boulder, and accepted the offer. As his farewell gift, the secretary of the Smithsonian, J. Dillon Ripley, sent Kauffman on a scientific expedition to explore Tibet with an international group of scientists and medical doctors, an adventure that few have had the privilege to experience.

As of last fall, 19 graduate and undergraduate students have applied for membership in the chapter. The purpose of the chapter is to broaden resources available to students in the department. As members of an AAPG chapter, students are encouraged to present research at the annual AAPG Student Expo, apply for both graduate and undergraduate research grants, and attend AAPG short courses.
