Geology unlocks earth secrets Throughout the history of man- kind, the secrets of the earth have remained unconquered and unex- plained. Although ment have probed the depths of the oceans and the mighty heights of the mountains seeking answers to their many ques- tions, the surface of knowledge about this planet on which we live has barely been scratched, Geology, the science dealing with the history of the earth and its life, has openedvthe door to the discovery of these long-kept secrets. ln the rocks that cover the earth, geologists have found a preserved history of the phenomena that have made our world what it is today. The Geology Department at Odessa College offers the student a chance to become ac- quainted with the earth primarily through the study of rocks. But the courses offered also give the student a knowledge of oceans, mountains, deserts and how and why they are what they are. This knowledgeis put to practical use when the students take a spring field trip to Big Bend National Park. Here they can see first- hand examples of the wonders of the earth. dward W Orton Graham H Hunt
