Geology Geography and geology claws are held in Barslou , the science building. Geography Department One of the fastest growing departments at SSU is the Ccography-Ccology Department. This department saw an unusually large enrollment this year, and considering the growth and additions that arc planned, it seems that this enrollment will continue to increase. One such addition next year will be a drafting room to handle courses in cartography, weather and climate, and stratigraphy. The room will greatly alleviAtc overcrowded conditions in the current geography-geology area. Members of the faculty of the department were active at various on-and-off-enmpus functions. They served as advisors to the Sigma Gamma Epsilon, Gamma Alpha Chapter, the fraternity founded at SSU in 1965 which is an Earth Science honorary society. SSU is also represented in the National Association of Geology Teachers, Central States; the Research Committee for State Universities and the Superior YMCA.
