aET SCIEN CE An ecology conscious Science Fiction cIuIj look camping trips to the desert and Sierras besides joining the U.C. Ecology class for field trips. At the Western Science Fiction conference held at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, the club showed up dressed as Alex Panasenko, adviser, and his droogs from the Clockwork Orange. MESA attracted some 50 minority students who are interested in pursuing careers in engineer- ing or science. The program, sponsored jomtly by Berkeley High and the University of California-Ber- keley Engineering, was financed through grants from industries and foundations. Students must carry at least one math, english, and science class. Murphy Taylor, counselor, worked with the University of California repre- sentative. Professor Wilbur Somerton, to provide special tutors to help the students maintain a 3.0 grade point average and receive a well earned S200 per semester. Last year the Science Botany Club worked hard to get money for their project. They gathered enough money to buy a glodesic dome greenhouse and chain- link fencing which now encloses the club ' s experimen- tal garden. This year the club members put up the greenhouse themselves and started the experimental garden. It is hoped that by fall of ' 76, Ms. Simpao will be able to offer a new course in the science department called Horticulture. Members met ot Tuesdays at 3:00. To date, members of the club are doing experiments with factors affecting plant growth, such as light and temperature differences. s (0 Activities - 2S

SPORTS n order to bring together the sports gathering enthusiasts of BHS, the Sports Collectors Club was formed in December. Headed by adviser Bruce Greenly and first term president Tim Yuen, the ten member club shared acquisitions and publications, and went to conventions in Palo Alto and Cupertino. According to Yuen, they did not accomplish much, but sure had a lot of fun. Led again by team captain Calvin Tram- pleasure, this year ' s Cycling team prepared themselves for the U.S. Cylcing Federation competition by continuing its little dynasty in the East Bay championships. The consis- tent performances from Reid Bennett, Scot Chan, and their captain enabled the A division team to peddle away with top plac- ings in meets. B division competitor Nor- man Amadon captured second in his cate- gory. This year ' s team showed a lot more enthu- siasm and participation than last year ' s team, which shows that the strike had no effect on the team. Other members of the team were Alex Os- borne, Christoph Rubach, Lee Trampleasure, and Lou Tondu. to (A
