NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Is the word garden a noun or a verb? At the ¾¨Ó㴫ý Field Station it is both - a place and an activity. A place where plants are nurtured and an activity engaged in by folks who till the soil and benefit from the fruit of their labor.Â

The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Symphonic Band will perform a concert Friday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
"The program consists of a variety of established band works as well as new compositions," said Dr. Tad Greig, director of bands at ¾¨Ó㴫ý. "The established works include Norman Dello Joio's Satiric Dances,' and Rex Mitchell's Introduction and Fantasia.' Rex is an Erie resident and retired music faculty member from Clarion University.
"New works include Grant them Eternal Rest,' a composition from Andew Boysen Jr., dedicated to those who lost loved ones and in their memory on September 11. It is an instrumental work in the setting of a Mass.
"The band will also perform Vesuvius' from the pen of Frank Ticheli," Greig added. "As one might imagine, the work features a flurry of powerful rhythm from both the percussion and winds. No concert is truly complete without a march, and the ensemble has chosen John Phillip Sousa's Gallant Seventh.'"
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Greig at (724) 946-7279 or e-mail greigrk@westminser.edu.
Dr. Craig Caylor, assistant professor of physics at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, will present his research at Faculty Forum Wednesday, Nov. 30, at 11:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"A student, Colin Campbell, (a junior physics major from Poland, Ohio) and I have been studying the way that very small droplets of water move in response the vibration of the surface on which the droplet sits," Caylor said. "We have observed the transition between droplets with fixed borders and those with mobile borders. We are studying how this transition varies with droplet size."

Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
Caylor, who has been with ¾¨Ó㴫ý since 2001, earned his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University and his master's and Ph.D. from Cornell University.
