The students from the three participating Mesa State College geology classes -Mike Sewell' s Engineer ini wells at the ing Geology, Dr. Verner Johnson's lntroduction to #!1ixnax ground Hydrogeologx, and Dr. Rex Cole's Geology Seminar - never noticed the fakers, but intently watched and listened to the t'«iy~~ speaker from the Department of Energy's Grand Junction of fice. ~ Senior project hydrologist and co-author of a recent text on ground water contamination, Dave Donohue gave on-site orientations, instructions and demonstrations of the pump ing tests he is using to study the characteristics of the aquifer beneath the site of the old Climax uranium processing mill. The DOE has cleaned up piles of uranium mill tailin~s, but hydrologists are still studying the aquifer to determine the movement of contaminants in the ground water there. The students' presence at the pumping tests would not • have seemed particularly noteworthy except for one thing: The brainchild of Sewell and Donohue, it was the first in a series of events that could rejuvenate a collaboration between the considerable resources and expertise at the DOE com pound and the geology and environmental restoration pro grams at Mesa State College. Mike Sewell, hydrologist and instructor in hydrogeology and engineering geology at MSC, said student participation in the hydrology J>roject was a good example of now the DOE presence in Grana Junction can support tne community. Col laboration between the DOE and MSC could be an impor tant bridge for students between academics and reality, he said. Echoing Sewell, Donohue said, "They (students) learn theory and equations in class, but it is good for them to come out and get tneir hands on the real thing." Donohue believes that more collaboration between MSC and the DOE com pound will enhance the depth and breadth of MSC's techni cal programs and advance the school's image. Such an alliance could be a win-win situation, said DOE technical manager Don Metzler, who has been at the Grand Junction office for just over two years and has been working on .the l!r.anium Mill Tailings.

"Universities are part of the team," he explained. "Engineering and science departments teach theory, but also want to teach their students how to solve problems." They also need some way to test their theories.

The Mavs found themselves in fifth place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with a 15-19-1 record, four games behind the University of Southern Colorado, facing a chance that they would miss the playoffs. Over the weekend the Mavs won its series with USC, 3-1. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the score tied at nine, shortstop Nate Duvall tripled. USC then walked Scott Denboske. That put runners at the comers for senior third baseman Wayne Lenertz, who singled in Duvall for the game winning RBI. Derek Corbett pitched six strong innings in relief to get the win.
