dally choices we make, for Instance.
about where we eat lunch." she said.
The reason' many of the rain
forests are being demolished is
because companies are clearing off the
land to build cattle ranches to provide
beef.
Donaldson said some American
fast food restaurants serve beef from
other countries, mainly South
America, to save what amounts to
about Ave cents on each hamburger. If
Americans put pressure on these
restaurants to use domestic beef. It
would help a great deal she said.
Fi-esnans have a unique
opprtunlty to see some of the species
that we are losing by visiting the
exhibit at the Fresno Zoo, said
Donaldson.
Eileen McClosky. volunteer
coordinator of the rain forest ranger
program, said another way students
can participate in rain forest
education Is to yolunteer at the Fresno
Zoo.
The rangers staff the rain forest
exhibit to protect the plants and
animals in the exhibit and to educate
the public about the rain forest
inhabitants and the threat to their
existence.
World Rain Forest Week Is another
step In this education process.
"The plan Is to draw attention to
saving the rain forests and how
important it Is to all of us even though
we b*o not live in that area," she said.
"It is one of the most serious
environmental issues of today."
Overlin Zamora, the president of
Trt-Beta, said biology club members
and rain forest rangers will staff the
booth Monday through Friday 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
The club is beginning to gear itself
toward environmental concerns,
Zamora said. Laura Donaldson will
speak at the next Tri-Beta meeting on
Oct 23 at 4 p.m. In room 300 In the
New Science Building.
Donaldson said students
traditionally have not been very
active In the rain forest Issue but that
things are changing.
T think the environmental
concerns are on the rise partly
because people are starting to realize
It's kind of sink or swim." she said.
This Is a necessity if we are going to
have an Inhabitable planet"

His family moved there two years ago.
He had lived with his mother up
until now. She was aware that they
were planning to meet after Davidson
called her Aug. 15. asking if he could
see Gladders. Prior to the fateful call.
Davidson had hied calling three years
ago to try to see his son.
Both Gladders and Davidson said
she was not ready for the meeting yet
because of his age.
"She didn't think I was ready," said
Darik, who was 15 at the time.
But Davidson was persistent
"When 1 called her on Aug. 15, she
told me Darik didn't have much time
for two dads," Davidson said. "She
didn't want me to call again.
"I told her If that's the case, then he
can tell me that himself." he added.
Shegave Davidson the number.
Both father and son recall the Aug.
15 phone call as being awkward. But
Informative, as it lasted for an hour.
In that conversation, they also set
up a time to meet In person. Davidson
met him In front of his dorm,
Gladders was waiting outside. "I
really didn't recognize him, but I knew
It was him." he said. "It wasn't really
emotional*, we formally met and,
shook hands."
He added, "I think he said his name
was Dan." jfi
Davidson remembered that the two

also didn't have any photos of each
other to go by.
In the car. it also was awkward.
Both then became speechless and then
decided to go out and eat
Darik spoke about the
conversation over duiner.
"At dinner we got into each others
personalities," he said. He also said
Davidson was doing most of the
talking.
Semi-dressed up, the two then
declded to play pool after dinner.
Davidson who has lived on the East
Coast for some time now, told Darik
why he had not hied contacting him
sooner.
1 got In a legal bind and left
California to go back East," h*? said.
He also told him that a warrant was
out for his arrest and that he almost
died In jail.
"I came back In '65 and setlled
everything." Davidson said.
Although he still travels back and
forth between the East and West
coasts, Davidson says his future plans
are not definite. He currently driven a
tajdcab In BaWmore County.
To Davidson the entire situation is
ironic. "After 17 years he is in the
same school system, Davidson
attended CSU, Hayward for one year.
he's a business major and also intc
the same types of sports that 1 was
Into," he said.
"He's even thinking of becoming an
accountant" he added.
Gladders who played tennis In high
school, also enjoys soccer and
volleyball. Davidson played and
enjoys soccer, volleyball, handball
and track.
For Gladders, there's a whole new
family to meet "All of a sudden I have
all these new people as my relatives,'
he said.
They both hope to get to know eacr
other better arid to have it be less
awkward In the future.
They axe also planning to keep ir
touch, once Davidson leaves for th<
East coast again.
Davidson said he hoped to hel*
him as much as he could, especially
with encouragment and finances.
"IVe been wondering about him fo
years and years," Davidson said.
1 didn't know lf he had died In i
car crash, car accident or what."
Gladders appreciates his father':
concern. y**
TD probably send him progresi
reports and let him know how In
doing In school." said Gladders.
1 don't want to keep him out of nr
life totally."
