GEOLOGY NEWSLETTER
******************************************************************************
Issue No. 11 December 1996
******************************************************************************
Greetings:
Hello to all of our alumni. It is once again my pleasure to wish you the very
holiday season from all of us here. We hope that the past year has been go
and that the coming one is even better.
You will note a new format for the Newsletter. I’m thinking the double colum
a little easier to read. And, the subtitles may improve at least the appearan
organization. All of the faculty publications and presentations have been co
a single section.
PROGRAM and DEPARTMENT NEWS
The new science building is nearing completion on schedule. It is supposed
for use in August 1997. Unfortunately, the legislature has not yet funded eq
and furniture. So, there is some question about its future. When chemistry
do move, Felmley Hall will be renovated and we should be moving over the
the geology faculty offices will be on fourth floor of the newer part of Felmle
Department office will be on the second floor in the old part. I’ve made a big
wanting an office with a window. I should get it about two years before I ret
stays on schedule. I am very pleased that there will be a moderate-sized ro
display the Funk mineral collection that has been in storage for so many ye
ex-President Wallace eliminated the University Museum, the Department in
mineral collection, but we have had no display space to show it off.) But, al
year or two off, yet.
Bill Schilts, Chief of the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), has been m
adjunct faculty member of the department. Although there are no plans to h
teach a course (that could be a possibility with such status), this helps seal
relationship between the department and the ISGS. Bill is a strong advocat
cooperation between the Survey and universities. We are already seeing s
benefits, as Skip has been working with the ISGS to get STATEMAP and E
funding for graduate students. Graduate student John Sieving is presently
part of Peoria County in this cooperative arrangement.
All of the faculty have been extremely busy over the last year. Demands fo
productivity”, that means presentations and publications, have gradually inc
the years, so that the University has become one of the “publish or perish”
Those of you who graduated in the seventies and early eighties were here
relatively little beyond teaching was expected of faculty. However, nowaday

much more. I don’t say this as nostalgia for the good old days, but as a way
that the University has been changing over the years, has developed a mo
professional attitude, and has required us to contribute, beyond teaching, to
geology profession and to the science. While this has meant more dedicati
parts, it is all to the good and has made us all better professionals. You can
mean by “being busy” by looking at the activities described by each faculty
and by the list of accomplishments under the heading: Faculty Productivity
so years ago such a list would have been very short.
Field trips galore!!! We have been involved in field trips this year, above an
those offered in our courses. Bob Corbett lead a ten-day trip down the Gree
Colorado rivers, following part of the route of John Wesley Powell. This fall
Dave were co-leaders of a public field trip, sponsored by the ISGS, to tour
around the LaSalle area. Several hundred people attended. Dave also wen
faculty sponsor of a Geology Club field trip to West Texas over spring brea
addition, Dave designed a four-day trip to the Absarokas in Wyoming for th
GSA meeting in Denver. Unfortunately, after writing the better part of a 40+
guidebook, the trip was canceled because there were too few people signe
as well, had he gone, he would have been snowed in. Dave is also plannin
to look at Precambrian structures in the Baraboo area, in association with t
Central GSA meeting in Madison next spring. At the Rocky Mountain Sectio
of the GSA, in April, I co-lead, with two others, a two-day field trip to look at
intrusions and gold mines in the Black Hills. We had snow there, too, Skip,
several students went on the Tri-State Geology Field Conference trip at Am
October. Next year we (ISU faculty) will be organizing the Tri-State trip to lo
geology of the LaSalle area. The dates will be October 3-5, 1997. You may
late next summer for further information if you are interested in attending. In
everything, including the changes taking place in geology, we are keeping
the ground.
In 2001 this Department will be hosting the North-Central Section meeting
(more field trips). This is a major task that will require all of us to contribute
We now have a Web Page. It can be accessed via the home page for ISU,

about six months to work on Devonian fauna and stratigraphy, with folks fro
Canadian Geological Survey. Jed is also looking forward to the move to Fe
because he will have a large lab in which to spread out the fossils that now

also serving as vice-president of the Central Section of the National Associ
Geoscience Teachers. He gets to plan the next meeting, which will be held
conjunction with the North-Central GSA meeting in Madison next May 1-2.
Last April, at the corner of College and University, Dave’s foot was run ove

trip anyway. In May, his wife Dawn had a son, Jack, to add to their family. I
took a family vacation to the Front Range, where he began training daughte
to become a field geologist. Good luck on that one, Dave!
The role that Geology will play in the new General Education program has
in the hands of Robert (Skip) Nelson. He has spent the last year designin
and pilot-testing a new course, Principles of Geology, that many Freshmen
when the new program is approved. He was also part of a five-person team
from Illinois State selected to attend a workshop on Science General Educa

American Association of Colleges and Universities and funded by Exxon E
Foundation. In addition to the items listed under Faculty Productivity, Skip h

the Illinois Coal Development Office. By working with the ISGS, he was abl
an EDMAP Grant from the USGS, for graduate student, John Sieving, to m
Peoria West 7.5’ Quadrangle as part of his thesis project.
Tom Searight appears around the Department now and then to have lunch
enjoying his retirement by traveling (especially to see his grandson in Denv
remodeling his house. He taught Geomorphology for us last spring and will
in the spring of 1997.
Another piece of faculty news is that Pete Lindquist, the geographer who t
course in GIS that so many of our geology students took, has moved on to
University of Toledo. He was highly regarded here by both programs and is
George Aspbury now teaches GIS.

The trip will cost $135/day (total of $810), not including the customary tip of
boatmen and the cost of meals off-river. You can either fly to Salt Lake, driv
there, or ride out and back in a University vehicle (with additional stops and
additional cost), to meet at Green River, Utah by mid-afternoon on June 13

MISSING ALUMNI
As I look through the address list provided from the Alumni Office, I see that there are a number of
whom we have no address, which means we can’t send them a Newsletter. If you know the wherea
these people, would you please send me their address. They are: Maggie Abraham, Chilyere Angli
Joel Commisso, Jim Eader, Jeff Guy, Brian Hacker, Mark Kirstein, Mike Koch, Gayle (Butch) Lane,
McElligott, Erin Moran, Alfred Obeyemi, Anthony Oghafua, Chris Smith, and Dan Wilcox.
THAT’S ALL, FOLKS
It has been my pleasure, once again to write the annual Newsletter. Although it is a lot of work to pu
do really enjoy it. I have so many great memories of all of you, and it is so gratifying to know of you
appreciate the fact that some of you say “Hi” once in a while, in one form or another.
