Several guest speakers such as ' Grant Borg, civil engineering professor, pro-fessor, and Mike Treshow, biology professor and winter quarter instructor, in-structor, have also been brought in to talk on specific topics. The class enrollment of 130 is a "little big" according to Prof. Crundmann, who wanted around 60 students. But the advanced enrollment was way over that figure and Prof. Crundmann, calling himself "softhearted," decided to accept 130. "Man and his Environment," by Richard Wagner is the main textbook and in keeping with the spirit of the class is printed on recycled paper. With the large volume of new subject material and the nature of it, Prof. Crundmann has to revise his notes to keep the class current. A native of Salt Lake, Prof. Crundmann specializes in parisentology. He got his masters at the University, Ph.D. at the University of Kansas, spent four years working on malaria disease control for the army and has been teaching at the University since 1945.
