Flies Flapjacks AND THE 'FOUR WHEELED College Dead Horse Point...It must have taken a mighty big bulldozer. Northern Alberta...There's a lot of toothpicks in those trees. Lake Louise Region...K.P. in the rough By PERRY W. RALEIGH Flapjacks, burned on the outside and doughy in the middle, soup with plenty of ashes, and flies enough to keep everyone busy. These few inconveniences are well known by students of the four wheel college. Nevertheless, keen appetites prevailed among the students. Said one biologist, "If any specimen gets in my broth, too bad for him." The College on Wheels idea was originated by Walter R. Buss for the purpose of teaching geology in locations best suited to the subject. This method of teaching not only gives credit toward graduation, but also affords an excellent, moderately-priced vacation at the same time. These trips, taken during the summer, are usually from four to six weeks long. The trip taken during the summer of 1949, for example, was to the Southwest and Mexico. This trip included a 6000-mile jaunt to Mexico City and stops at over forty interesting points in between. Instruction was given in geology, biology, Mexican culture and Spanish. The classes left Ogden on July 19, 1949, and returned August 30, 1949. The trip included outstanding geological attractions such as Bryce canyon, Zion canyon, Grand canyon, Carlsbad caverns, White Sands, and the active new volcano, Para-cutin. The biology students saw plants and animals of Mexico from the desert to the cool plateaus and through the tropical forests to the seaside. The students of Spanish visited such cities as Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City. Here they read and heard Spanish first hand along with expert instruction. Some of the highlights of the trip were watching a bullfight and visiting the floating gardens of Xochimilco. There was no sickness during the entire trip and most of the students were interested in going again. The classes camped out whenever possible and did their own cooking. Experienced cooks and a dietician scheduled the menus. Another interesting trip was taken during the summer of 1946. On this trip the College went south through Utah to Bryce and Zion canyons, then down to, and a short distance into, Mexico. The College then headed north along the California coast to Catalina Island, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, then up to Yosemite, Mount Lassen, and the Shasta dam. From there the College went into Oregon to Crater Lake, Mt. Ranier and Grand Coulee, then on to Glacier National Park and to Cardston and Waterton Lakes in Canada. Then it came back to Ogden through Yellowstone National Park. On this trip it was possible to see all features of geology. There was a group of thirty-one who went on the tour.
