Bradley Erney of Dover, Michael Jahn of Butler and Erin Heffron of Minersville were members of a team of seven students and two professors including Dr. Patrick Burkhart and Dr. Jack Livingston, who went on a research trip last May to study climate change and examine the origins of the land- scape. According to Erney, the group drove for three days to reach their destination and the trip lasted two and a half weeks. He said they spent nights in tents, went days without showering and had to deal with winds sometimes over 60 mph. The group moved from place to place and their main focus of study was within a one mile radius. The main objective, Erney said, was to study distinctive old buried soils, known as paleosols, which could be dated and used to correlate sod tables at different locations. Nine sod tables were studied and three radiocarbon dates are being interpreted and may assist in placing the study in the context of climate change on the high plains, he said. "We were looking at the relationships between sod tables, which are like minia- Graphic Illustration by Tracey Ferguson and Gordy Greenawalt ture plateaus that rise four to eight feet off the ground and have grass on the top of By Tracey Ferguson versity president to commission the task ations include a backup plan. them," Heffron said.

Last week, Slippery Rock Universi- ty released new emergency tips deal- ing with the procedure to use in an emergency situation. But have students been informed enough of these new procedures to actually be prepared in the case of an emergency? We at The Rocket feel like more needs to be done to inform students of how to respond to acts of terrorism or biological or chemical warfare. While the attempt at preparations is impressive, many SRU students still remain unaware of the new pro- cedures and how to respond in an emergency situation. Two methods have been used, thus- far, to make students aware: campus e-mail and the SRU Web site. While both places seem relevant to the administration, students are not as adept to using these on a normal basis. Campus e-mail, while set up for use by every student on campus, is not always used. Many students prefer to use Hot- mail, AOL, or Yahoo! and avoid the spam mail that comes along with using Rockmail. So for any students that don't check their account on a normal basis, the emergency procedure -mail would have gone completely ignored. The emergency procedures have also been listed on the homepage of the SRU Web site. However, not many students use What' s your maj or... the Web site on a normal basis. They may not even be aware that a new link has been added. Figure out who you are before you decide what you want to do The main objective of this editorial WHAT'S YOUR MAJOR? where would it be?
