'U' publishes wetlands guide

The Michigan Sea Grants, a joint program of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, has published "A Field Guide to Great Lakes Wetlands."

The wetlands contain a diverse variety of specially-adapted vegetation and are vital to the well-being of the Great Lakes ecosystem.

In the guide, author Walter Hoagman describes the ways that Great Lakes wetlands change with varying lake levels and how the changes affect plant life in the wetlands. Copies of the book are available for $9.95 from the Michigan Sea Grant office, located at 2200 Bonisteel Blvd.

Greek program receives grant

The University's Department of classical studies recently received a $170,000 grant from the Foundation for Modern Greek Studies.

The grant, combined with funds from other contributions, is the first of three annual $250,000 payments, which win to develop the modern Greek studies program in the classical studies department. The money will be used to help establish a chair for modern Greek studies.
