  • PAGE 8/THE WfcSI fcHN CAROLINIAN/FEBRUARY 8, 1979 Historical geology Chapman delves into student desires There's a course at WCU called Historical Geology, which dealt with the history of the Earth through the immensity of geologic time. Transient present-day event! should have little effect upon it; but this semester they seem to have a definite influen Would the class haven chosen to study the "ice ages" first if January had not been cold? Would this topic have been the dominant first choice for the class at the beginning of the fall semester, in the heat of August? It seems doubtful. Dr. Chapman, instructor for Geology 102, Historical Geology, admitted the first class meeting that he would be unable to cover all the events and all of the topics possible in one semester. "Consequently," he said, "a selection must be made. The textbook has done this, but still contains too much material. Normally the professor makes the selection, based upon his background, his education, and his experience. "But this time," Dr. Chapman continued, "I thought I would try it differently. Why don't you tell me what you want to study in this course?" This sounds great, but how does a student know what the subject choices in a course are; before he has the course? To cover this Dr. Chapman had prepared a list of more-or-less provocative titles for the students to choose from. They are: 1. "In the beginning..." How? 2. Reading the rock record-perspiration or inspiration? 3. "Evolution." Building a better world or adjusting to a worse? 4. "These eternal hills!"...how long? 5. "The mighty Tuckasegee carves the mountains westward." Why? ' 6. "This is our own, our native land—our eternal sovereign soil!" Oris it? 7. "In the beginning..." When? 8. Is life universal or terrestrial? How did it all begin? 9. "The iceman cometh,..." Why? When? Where? It was explained that the titles referred, in order, to the following topics: (1) The origin of the Earth and Solar System, (2) How geologists interpret the rock record, (3) The pageant of life on the Earth and its changes in time, (4) The history of the Appalachian Mountains, (5) How the present land surface was formed, (6) Plate Tectonic! and Continental Drift, (7) Geologic time, (8) The origin of life, (9) The ice ages. Each received one or more votes, but the last topic, the ice ages, received the most. At the time of the vote the temperature outside of the building was in the teens. How has the course gone? Dr. Chapman comments that attendance has been better than usual, but perhaps this is because the weather has cooperated, cold winds have prevailed, snow has fallen and the setting has been almost glacial. Under these conditions what else can you do but go to class? In the long spectrum of geologic time the ice ages are almost the last event. To take this first must be confusing. "Not at all," explains Dr. Chapman. "We took it as a seperate topic, complete in itself. Usually this is the last topic in the course, covered in whatever time is left, one or two sessions at the most. This way we were able to consider the whole topic, including earlier ice ages in the Earth's history, their probable cause, the results, and some of the implications that this holds for other ideas in Earth history. We spent three weeks instead of two hours." The next topic deals with evolution and the fossil record, to be followed by the origin of the Earth and of life on the Earth. An objection that might be raised by some, relates to the possibility of bypassing essential parts of the standard course. "Only time will tell," Chapman responds. However two things need to be kept in mind. The first is that most of the students in this course are not geology majors, and a course which is interesting to them, or which answers their questions, may result in a greater acquisition of information. That is the purpose of all courses, isn't it? "The second thing is that, as each topic is taken in order, background material must be supplied and the rationale for conclusions reached must be advanced. Surely the instructor can make sure that all necessary basic information is included, even if not in the traditional order." But what of the quiz files so carefully hoarded in the fraternity houses? Can these still be used? "Sorry," sighed Chapman, "they're now of no more value than my old quiz files. We'll both have to throw them out and start over." But surely new files can be built. Will the same course format be used next fall? "Yes, but," responded Chapman, "I doubt that temperatures hovering near 100 will bring such interest in a possible return of the ice ages. The topic selection will probably be different. "Unless," and a reminiscent gleam entered his eye, "we can schedule a field trip toAlaska." Laetrile kills stubborn woman OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)—A woman who chose Laetrile treatment rather than lose her breast to cancer surgery and be "deformed" has died from cyanide poisoning caused by massive ingestion of the apricot pit-based material, the coroner reported Tuesday. Jo Anne Etta Pye, 42, of San Leandro died December 2 after taking Laetrile, which she hoped would cure her breast cancer, said Roland Prahl, chief deputy coroner for Alameda County. Laetrile is a trademark for a substance derived from the chemical amygdalin, found naturally in the pits of apricots and peaches and in bitter almonds. Advocates claim Laetrile is an effective cancer treatment, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the medical establishment in this country have said there is no proof it is of any value in treating cancer. Two months of extensive tests by the coroners's office confirmed Mrs. Pye's death as the first Laetrile-related death in Alameda County, Prahl said. Only two other confirmed Laetrile deaths have been reported in the country, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
