Western Carolinian September 21,1995 News WCU Geology Students Do Field Work in Argentina and Canada Ron Hilliard and Jim Reynolds in Rio Gonzales, Argentina Photo by John Kotila Argentina on American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund Student Research Fellowships provided by Reynolds' grant. They collected sandstone samples in a poorly understood mountainous jungle region in the Sierra de Gonzalez in the Santa Barbara Ranges and from the Sierra de Vaqueros in the Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Cordillera). Reynolds dated these strata at various levels on earlier visits to Salta using a paleomagnetic technique known as magnetic polarity stratigraphy. The students also assisted by Jim Reynolds Contributing Writer Sierra de Gonzalez, Sierra de Vaqueros, and Manitouwadge ate far, far away from Cullowhee. Three WCU students not only found out where those places are but worked at them this summer. The three geology majors conducted field research for their senior theses over the summer with their faculty advisors. Ronald Hilliard, of Hendersonville, and John Kotila, of Webster, spent three weeks in the eastern ranges of the Andes with Dr. James Reynolds in Salta Province, Northwestern Argentina. Carrie Mitchell, of Jacksonville, accompanied Dr. Ginny Peterson for three weeks in the Manitouwadge mining camp, located 100 kilometers north of Lake Superior in northwestern Ontario, Canada. Hilliard and Kotila traveled to Reynolds in the collection of paleomagnetic samples from another area in the Cordillera Oriental. The two will do detailed microscopic analyses of their samples to determine if any changes in the composition of the sand grains occur. Compositional changes often indicate the rise of a new mountain range. Since the age of the rock is established, the ages and rates at which the new mountains arose and the adjacent basin subsided can be determined. Their results could help establish the tectonic history of the Andes in this area. This will aid in the determination of the timing of petroleum resource generation and may tell which geological structures could make good drilling prospects. This is the second year that Western geology students have conducted field research in Argentina. Mitchell spent part of her time in Canada assisting Peterson and Dr. Eva Zaleski of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) with a field trip that they ran in Manitouwadge. This was part of the annual Institute of Lake Superior Geology (ILSG) meeting held in nearby Marathon, Ontario. She received travel support from the ILSG to attend the meeting and logistical support from Peterson, from the GSC, and from other local geologists. During the meeting and field trip, Mitchell became familiar with the regional and local geology of the area and was able to talk with other geologists working on similar problems. Following the meeting, Mitchell made detailed field observations and collected several samples for analysis back at Western. Mitchell's thesis is based on study of rocks in the Quetico geologic province, adjacent to the Manitouwadge belt. These rocks are part of the Superior province, which formed approximately 2.7 billion years ago and is host to many of the significant ore deposits in Canada. Based on previous work in the area, Zaleski and Peterson have outlined a detailed geologic history of the Manitouwadge belt and related this to the setting and formation of the local ore bodies. They have also suggested new models for the relationship between the Manitouwadge belt and Quetico province. Mitchell will do detailed microscopic analysis of rock samples that she collected from within the Quetico province. Comparison of her observations with those made previously in the Manitouwadge area will help in testing regional tectonic models Resolution of such problems is important to our understanding of how plate tectonic processes have changed throughout geologic time. They also provide models for mineral exploration. . Kotila and Hilliard participated in the University of North Carolina System-wide Geology Field Camp in New Mexico Arizona and Colorado earlier in the .summer Mitchell completed the same course in 1994 Mitchell and Hilliard have worked as teachmg assistants in introductory geology laboratories at Western. NORTH CAROLINA COURT OF APPEALS TO CONVENE AT WCU The North Carolina Court of Appeals will convene at Western Carolina University on Friday, September 29, in the Grandroom of A.K. Hinds University Center. The court will sit in two sessions—a morning session beginning at 9:30 a.m. and an afternoon session beginning at 1 p.m. Both sessions are open to the public. Scheduled on the three-judge panel to hear arguments during the morning session are S. Gerald Arnold, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Judge Jack Cozort and Judge K Edward Greene. The panel for the afternoon session is scheduled to be Judge John B. Lewis Jr., Judge Mark D. Martin and Judge Ralph A. Walker. Judge Martin is a 1985 graduate of WCU and is the son of Ann Martin of Cullowhee and the late M. Dean Martin, who was a professor of marketing at WCU. Four other Court of Appeals judges will attend weekend events: Judge Sidney S. Eagles Jr., Judge John C. Martin, Judge Joseph R. John Sr., and Judge Linda M. McGee. While in WNC, the judges will attend a reception hosted by the Judicial District 30-A Bar Association and take a dinner excursion on the Great Smoky Mountain Railway Friday evening. On Saturday, WCU Chancellor John W. Bardo will host a brunch for the judges and area judicial leaders. Other events on Saturday include a continuing judicial education program at Madison Hall, free time to attend WCU's Mountain Heritage Day and football game, and an evening reception at Grassy Creek. The North Carolina Court of Appeal comprises 12 judges, elected for eight-year terms, who sit in three-judge panels. The court primarily sits in Raleigh, but it also meets in other places throughout the sta e. courtesy of OPI GET INVOLVED!

The Western Carolinian is Western Carolina University's student-run newspaper. The paper was published as the Cullowhee Yodel from 1924 to 1931 before changing its name to The Western Carolinian in 1933.
