Equestrian Studies l l e all work toward these goals with single-minded intensity. — Tina Burgan Rocky Mountain College ' s equestrian program may be small, but it ' s one of the top three in the country. Bob and Penny Nance started this program only two short years ago and it has already required a new barn to house this year ' s freshmens horses. Togeth- er with our advisor and new train- er Bill Bormes, our vet-in- residence and professor Liz Con- ger, OVM, and our very dynamic director who can rise to any oc- casion, Penny Nance, how can this program help but be a success?! The equestrian club and stu- dents have already put on a very successful dance and horse show. Trail rides are a part of the cur- riculum along with English equi- tation and western horsemanship, anatomy, training, breaking, and sometimes just goofing off and en- joying each others company. Sem- inars are given by outside trainers to vary and improve certain skills. Bill even gets on a horse occa- sionally. Already scheduled for the spring are another dance and more shows. We all work toward these goals with single-minded in- tensity. Come up and look around sometime soon! — Tina Burgan

' ' — Sue Arvik Rocky has a very progressive Biology program, thanks to Claire Oakley. — j Jean Lyford Biology The Biology department at Rocky Mountain College offers twel different courses this year. Any one of which will surely cover I interests of anyone thinking about a Biology major or minor. Botany, which is considered one of the harder classes at Rock has a comfortable six students in the class. The class can considered one of the harder classes because of the amount) information covered. For example, the class covers the anatomic physiological, genetic, and evolutionary aspects of plants. This p; ticular course consists of three lectures and one three hour lab week. — Aaron McDonnel 24 J Sciences at Rocky
