I started thinking about the siscowet strain of lake trout the other night and couldn’t stop. There is something about that elusively pelagic fish that prods my imagination like few other species. If humans have progressively economized their environments, the siscowet remains naggingly unquantifiable. But while an attempt to place this fish can lead to sleepless nights, there is something in the siscowet that I prefer to the multi-billion dollar salmon fishery of neighboring Lake Michigan.

While I was a student at Carleton I was often frustrated with the Administration for what I felt was occasional feet-dragging on environmental and sustainability issues at our college. I felt that a lack of commitment to environmental sustainability was a poor reflection of the values of the student body. As a staff member then, one of my biggest suprises has been the much more serious attitude toward environmentalism from the staff and faculty as compared to the student body.
