T h e L u m b e r j a c k An Independent Student Publication at Northern Arizona University Dec. 8-Jan. 18, 2005 Blaring trains soon to be an echoing memory MEGAN FOUCHT T h e L u m b e r j a c k Charmagne Coe and her husband David have owned their downtown knitting shop, Unraveled, at 6 W. Rte. 66, for about one year. The walls are filled with yams of seemingly every color, texture and weave. The tables overflow with how to knitting books and notions. And while shoppers graze the selection of angora, cotton and wool yams, approximately 87 trains per day roar past the store windows. ' “It’s really loud," Coe said from behind the cash register on a busy Saturday afternoon. But, she said, “It doesn’t affect the traffic flow; I can’t say peo pie don’t come in because of the train.” However, Coe said she would like to hear less of the train horns that blare through downtown Flagstaff. “If there was a safe way to have some kind of a calming ordinance, I would be all for it," she said. Soon, Coe’s shop may be a little quieter. Last month, contractor Gannett Fleming began working on designs to install four quiet zones at five at grade crossings running through Flagstaff on Route 66. The quiet zones, which will be located at San Francisco Street, Beaver Street, Enterprise, Steves Boulevard and Fanning, will conform to safety codes set forward by the Federal Railroad Administration in June.

Pike members established the Ryan Reid Memorial Fund in February after the 21-year old was killed in a pedestrian train accident at the South San Francisco Street crossing near Route 66. According to the police report, Reid and fraternity brother Christopher Ellington were walking toward campus when an oncoming train hit them in the early hours of Feb. 3. Ellington sustained major injuries and Reid died two days later at a neurological center in Phoenix. Reid’s brothers maintain he saved Ellington’s life by pulling him out of harm’s way. Though they are still in mourning, the Pikes call Reid’s death inspirational.

Janet Napolitano and the Ari zona Board of Regents before deciding what needs to be done with NAU tuition. Haeger said no recommen dations about tuition have been made yet as the university is yet unsure the amount of funding it will receive from the state, and the future tuition structure that will be approved by the Arizona Board K)f Regents. “We are in the process of thinking it through, and some of the basic parameters," Hae ger said. NAU receives the majority of its budget from two sources: state funding and tuition dollars. Though the university is a research institution, the money earned from research is not a significant part of the budget, as it can be at ASU and UA. Haeger believes the three universities will ask the state to raise the base tuition. The amount of the raise will be dependent upon the funding NAU receives from the state, as well as their final budget for the 2007 year. The cost of living increase will also factor in, and that is expected to be a 3.6 percent increase. Haeger also believes the universities may be given the opportunity to adjust tuition depending on the market. “The market is mainly made up of a couple of fac tors," Haeger said. “One is, the market will be defined as these programs are in high demand. They are also high salary programs. The market demand may also include the fact that some programs, by their very nature, are more expensive." « m A v r i e u i c ■ Cloning mammoths: N A U geology professor attempts to bring back Ice Age giant BRETT LEWIS T h e L u m b e r j a c k Honor, dedication, and big wooly mammoths. There are only a few people in the world who can be described with these three nouns, and one of them is a retired professor at NAU. In October, NAU geology professor Larry Agenbroad was one of five paleontologists presented with the Lowell Thomas Award at The Explor er’s Club annual awards dinner, where this year's theme was “Digging the Past to Celebrate the Future.” Every year the awards theme changes, but is always given to “explorers who have distinguished themselves through exceptional w'ork in the field,” according to a press release from the Ex plorersClub. Past recipients of the award include Carl Sagan, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Issac Asimov and Sir Edmund Hillary.“ He is recognized as one of the leaders in the research on mammoths, there’s no question about that,” said Greg McDonald, senior curator of natural history for the National Park Service. McDonald is in charge of natural history at parks nationwide. “Butcertainly(Agenbroad’s) expertise is not limited to mammals; he is an interna tional authority on the mam moth, but he has certainly worked on other animals from the Ice Age, so he has a great wealth of knowledge of many animals from that time,” Me Donald said. ^ In 1966 Agenbroad began his career as a member of a team investigating human re mains in Murray Springs, Ariz. But something bothered Agenbroad. The team left mam moth remains in the field if they were too old for humans to be possibly associated with them. He remembers finding one almost complete skeleton of a mammoth. “Here was a magnificent beast that’s the very symbol of the Ice Age," Agenbroad said. “And it was getting the Rod ney Dangerfield treatment: ft didn’t get no respect.” At that instant, Agenbroad said he subconsciously switched from hunting human hunters to hunting the hunted mammoth. And a short time later, he would make this switch consciously and become one of the world’s leading experts. From 1978 until 2003, Agenbroad has educated NAU students in geology and paleontology classrooms. And for his entire career, he has educated the general public with many of his publications, ranging from articles in professional journals to children’s books.

J U STIN LESNIAK T h e L u m b e r j a c k On Friday, Nov. 18, the Ponderosa Faculty group held a workshop featuring guest speaker Dr. Andrew Jamison, professor of technology and society at Aalborg University in Sweden. Dr. Jamison’s speech focused on what he called “green knowledge” in the age o f“technoscience,” and how science has crown from “mode i ” to “mode 2" since World War II. Jamison, author of many books including Green Knowledge in in Age o f Technoscience and Hubris and Hybrids; A Cultural History o f Technology and Science, began the workshop with a presentation regarding “green knowledge." As an attempt to give a name to the cognitive development in people’s quest for sustainable knowledge, Jamison coined the term “green knowledge.” According to Jamison, "green knowledge* can be defined as “the knowledge production that goes on in environmental politics and how people deal with their problems." I n his book Green Kn o wJ-edge in in Age o f Technoscience, Jamison touches on the subjects of “mode 1" and “mode 2” and how technoscience has affected environmental science. The two modes illustrate the transformation of science within the past century and how the fundamental basics of research have shifted in recent years. The years before WWII, or “little science,” are classified under “mode 1 ” and are characterized by a disciplinary type of knowledge and academic values. Between 1940 and 1970 is a time classified as “big science,” where the type of knowledge shifts to multidisciplinary with bureaucratic values. 1m> PONDEROSA, m m 8
