Dr. George Veni presented a well-attended lecture on the Sul Ross State University campus in Alpine this afternoon : Living With Karst: The Benefits and Challenges of Living in a Cavernous Environment . The Geology Club had plastered the local communities with advertisements in print and on Marfa Public Radio. The audience included Sul Ross students, staff, local environmentalists, Park Service folks, and residents from Alpine, Marfa, Ft. Davis, and Terlingua. Even one of the early Sul Ross Cavers from the 60s, Elbert Bassham, attended. One person did seem disappointed as he misread the subtitle as "Cadevarous" and failed to get the hints expected on the preparation of road kill. A reception followed, as did a dinner honoring the speaker at a local establishment of Great Repute.
