Quake increases
flow of water
Although Santa Cruz appears
headed for a fourth consecutive year of drought,
area reservoirs may be receiving a
much-needed infusion of extra
water from an unlikely source: the
October 17 earthquake.
Professor of environmental
geology Robert Curry and other
researchers believe that the earthquake somehow increased the flow

Dinner benefits
Long Marine Lab
Public programs at the Joseph
M. Long Marine Laboratory
received a $10,750 boost on
January 22 thanks to the fourth
annual "Evening at University
House," a gourmet dinner sponsored by the Friends of Long
Marine Lab.
Eighty-six guests donated $125
each to attend the affair, which
was hosted by Chancellor Robert
Stevens and his wife Katherine.
The menu featured hors d'oeuvres,
entrees, and desserts from several
area restaurateurs and caterers,
as well as local wines and other
beverages.
The contributions will benefit a
variety of public programs at the
Long Marine Lab, including docent
training, educational displays,
and a planned visitors' center. In
addition, the donations will help
create a fund for emergency marine animal care and will support
awards for UCSC students conducting research in Monterey Bay.
The next major fund-raising
event for the Long Marine Lab is
the "Whale of an Auction," scheduled for March 29 in the Porter
Dining Hall.
