Thurston, Roy F.
The production of maps, which is the job of a cartographer,
topographer, photogrammetrist, surveyor, and engineer,
is of considerable concern to the geographer. The production
of special kinds of maps is a primary concern of the
Geological Survey. The production of the National Topog-raphic
Map Series is the principal concern of our Topographic
Division.

Switzer, Wilbur J.
Physical Geography has been a "traditional" course in
most California Community Colleges. This appears to have
been the case in the days of fewer colleges with limited
course selection, and it appears to be the situation today
with more than ninety colleges offering hundreds of courses. Over the years, Geography I, the introductory physical course,
has provided a substantial challenge for thousands of lower division students. Unfortunately, significant numbers have
either failed to complete the course or have earned low marks; thus, Geography I has the reputation of being a "hard" course.

Greer, Deon C.
For most of the period that the white man has been in
the Great Basin, the development of the Great Salt Lake's
resources has been given little consideration, especially in
view of the potential which the lake possesses. Although a
number of ponds for the evaporation of sodium chloride have
existed for many years along the lake shore, their output
has been limited almost entirely to local demand for salt.
The existence of many chemicals other than common table
salt in the lake has been known since the mid-eighteen hundreds, but little research and practically no investment ill
facilities have taken place to retrieve other potentially
more profitable chemicals from the lake. In 1967 the lake's
economic potential came to the attention of some of the largest
chemical producers in the United States as well as to
some foreign producers, and subsequent feasibility studies
have indicated the practicability of extracting a variety of
chemicals from the lake.

Honey, Rex; Maack, Nancy
Teaching children to be aware of the world around them
is one of the classical aims of liberal education--liberal in the sense of liberating the individual. A few simple exercises can be worked into the elementary school curriculum to enhance the child's awareness of his surroundings, thereby adding to that child's liberal education. The exercises
presented here introduce scale, maps, and spatial
relations, and through these increase awareness of one's environs. The material required is minimal--a few maps
(either readily available or easily constructed). Photographs,
including air photos, would be helpful but are not
necessary.
