Frosh discover natural resources

Ten yes ago, just before the game against OSU in Columbus, Ron
Johnson id to a Daily reporter: "I have no worries about the Ohio
State gae. They're just the same as we are; they're not supermen.
They eaie same food, breath the same air as we do. I'm tired of all
this talkbout how much better they are. I don't like the way people
will posthe questiuon: Do you think you have a chance to beat OSU?
They seneto imply that Ohio State is much tougher than we." Well,
OSU watougher that year and Blue hopes were dashed, 50-14. This
weekenc however, let's hope the Ann Arbor supermen settle that
score.

By CAROL KOLETSKY
On the first day of classes this fall, 18
freshpersons received a startling
introduction tothe School of Natural
Resources: they were instructed to
plan, within one week, their own field
trip 200 miles north to the Pigeon River.
On September 15, the students headed
for a point of the river near Gaylord, 50
miles south of the Mackinac Straits.
They planned to study, on a practical
level, a variety of problems related to
natural resources.
"IS THIS the way all classes are
run?" was the typical response of the
initiates to "Frosh Discovery," an
experimental introductory course.
While most courses use the standard
lecture-discussion procedure, "Frosh
Discovery" is based on a teaching
method called "guided design."
Students learn by working in gorups to
solve case studies through analysis and
by playing the role of resource
manager. Teachers, when necessary,
facilitate decision-making.
"Guided design" is built around a
case study of the Pigeon River County
State Forest because the area is the site
of major conflicts between oil
developers and environmentalists.
The course was designed by Dale
McCollough, a specialist in Wildlife
Ecology with the School of Natural
Resources since 1966, and Ron Rollet, a
special scientist working on natural
resource issues.
"WE DESIGNED the course to get
first-year students involved in the
school from the beginning, to give them
a chance to find out if natural resources
is their bag," said McCullough.
"In a school like NR, freshmen are
about invisible," said Rollet. "They
take most of their courses in LS&A, so
that by the time they take NR courses
in their junior year, they find out it's not
what they want."
In one area and in one weekend, the
students saw how all environmental
issues relate. They learned one cannot
understand the impact of oil drilling
without examining recreation; one
cannot examine elk trees without
examining forest management; and
to examine management, one must also
examine the political process.
"IT WAS ABRUPT, but it was worth
A poll taken by the Air Transport
Association shows that 67 per cent of all
adult men have flown in airplanes,
while 59 per cent of women have
traveled by air.

it in the end," said freshman John
Weiland. "We developed a fondness for
the area, and the greatest part of the
class is that we can see where we're
going."
Freshwoman Susan Bloomfield said,
"I was impressed with it because it's a
rare that you can get such an
incredible introduction to a field of
study at this level. We were exposed to
the real situations which on a
freshperson level usually are not
encountered."
According to McCullough and Rollet,
the faculty has observed the
experiment with enthusiasm, and is
certain to approve it as part of the
curriculum for all incoming
freshpersons beginning in natural
resources next year.
IN FACT, "Guided design may affect
all students in the.school in the near
future. Plans to design- a similar
prograam at all levels and to introduce
courses such as "Sophomare and
Junior Discovery" are expected.
Like "Frosh Discovery", these
courses will have students working
together and with NR faculty on
various projects, using role-playing,
actual environment impact statements,
and all of the tools with which a
professional in natural resources has to
be familiar.
McCullough and Rollet emphasized
the most important understanding to be
gained from "Frosh Discovery" as
recognition of the need to work for the
environment, and the motivation to
study natural resources at an early
undergraduate level as a stepping stone
to a career, rather than to simply fulfill
requirements.
