Clark Fork Coalition staff scientist Chris Brick will talk at the
upcoming City Club Forum April 21 about streamside setbacks – what they
are and why we need them.

Dr. John Stone, Dr. Tom Roberts and Dr. Joe Knapp will speak on the

policies.” This forum is co-sponsored by the UM Center for Ethics and the
Institute of Medicine and Humanities.

“I really do believe that in order to have a great community like Missoula we need a great university,” Foley said. “And more importantly, in order to have a world-class university we have to continue to have a great community like we have in Missoula.”

City Club Missoula’s March 21 will feature a presentation by Jim Foley, the University of Montana’s Executive Vice President. Foley will discuss the financial health of the university, new plans on academic and development fronts including the completion of the master plan for the South Campus, and the challenges higher education faces in Montana in upcoming years.

“It’s really important that there’s a lot of community involvement.”

Some locals in the north-central Montana town complained Running’s talk would contain only one side of the global warming debate.

“OK, what is the other side?” Running asked. “And how do people come to the conclusion that another side is needed?”

“It’s like turning the Titanic. We need to start turning now.”
