BSU Geology Summer Field Course - Please Join Us!

[Marilyn Wegweiser <mdwegweiser@bsuvc.bsu.edu>]

Paleo-types, Rock-types, Students, Grad Credits Needed Types, Persons 
Who Just want to get away for awhile and learn something about 
geology & paleontology,

Get some real in the field experience and get college credit for it 
here! Ball State University (where I happen to teach) offers a 
geology summer field camp. Rumor has it that yours truly will be 
along as faculty yet once again.

The semi-tentative description of said course can be found at:
http://www.bsu.edu/csh/geology/dept/fc.htm

Despite what it says, you can still enroll. Right now, I think there 
are 13 people enrolled. More would be nice, and I think we will halt 
it at about 20.

Want to spend 5 days where my barbecued dinosaur bones came from? 
Want to go to Dinosaur National Monument and learn to measure a 
stratigraphic section with a Total Station? Want to perhaps meet the 
*real* Brent Breithaupt of SVP Benefit Auction Fame? Want to go to 
Red Gulch, WY and actually calculate the speed of the dinosaurs that 
left the dinosaur trackway?

Want to meet Dr. Demento in field-persona? (do you dare?)  Want to 
meet Glenn Storrs from the CNHM? Want to bump in to goodness KNOWS 
how many (in)famous characters that may be in my path along the way?

Want to get 6 graded geology course credits for it? Graduate credit 
IS available for this course!

Email either me directly through here and ask me for the information 
OR email Sam thourgh the BSU field camp website but do it SOON! 
Regardless of that March 15th cut-off date, we have been known to 
accept people as we were pulling away from the curb. So, there is 
still time. We are going anyway - OI am blatantly attempting to 
ensure that I will be going too - because regardless of whether or 
not I am teaching I will be in WY this summer doing field work on 
barbecued dinosaur chronostratigraphic layers.

I had a blast last year. I've gotten the "Bio-Hazrd" sticker off of 
my tent the undergraduates put there so that they could just point 
whenthe authorities came and asked who was in charge..... ;^)

Have a great weekend!
Marilyn W.
