Horticulturists
cultivate club
By DOLORES TOBACCO
If you really “dig” the good, green earth, then, you’ll
probably enjoy the University Horticulture Club.
Scott Wallace, president of the horticulture club, said one
objective of the club is to bring the faculty and students of
horticulture closer together
Wallace, a senior majoring in horticulture and plant
pathology, said, “The major purpose of the club is to
stimulate interest in the field of horticulture with special
attention towards cooperation between students and
faculty.”
The club sponsored a barbeque earlier this quarter for
about 60 students, faculty and staff. According to Wallace.
“This is a good way for students to get to know their
teachers on a personal basis.”
While the club offers horticulture majors an opportunity
to become more familiar with the members of the faculty,
it is open to anyone who has an interest in horticulture As
Wallace said. “Basically, we want to have fun "
Each quarter the club is involved in fund-raising drives
to teach students the business end of horticulture and to
also finance club field trips
In addition to an apple sale, which was held earlier this
month, a pecan sale is planned for early November
In the spring, the club will attend the annual Wildflower
Pilgrimage to the Gratt Smokie Mountains A tour of tho
mountains and discussion of the native flowers is
planned
A weekend trip to Florida is also scheduled Wallace
said that the group will spend a whole day talking to
growers in Florida and learning about their problems
“We show the students that it’s not as easy as it looks in
the books.” Wallace said.
The club meets every second and fourth Wednesday at
7:30 p.m. in Room 1205, Plant Sciences Building.
If you have any questions concerning club membership,
contact Wallace at 546-0312
