Westminster College Business Professor Has Research Published
Dr. Peter A. Groothuis, associate professor of economics at Westminster College, will have his research, "Does Don't Know Mean No?: Analysis of Don't Know' Responses in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Questions" published in Applied Economics.
This research, which was co-authored by John C. Whitehead, associate professor at the University of North Carolina, investigates the value of the "don't know" or middle of the road responses on surveys and research. Groothuis concludes that certain surveys and research benefit from this "don't know" option, but the "researchers must use their judgment on how to interpret and use don't know responses."

Notes from the Field Station: Christmas Tree Tradition
Conifers of several sorts have been symbols of Christmas for centuries in nearly all Western countries. At the Field Station we grow conifers - pines, firs, spruces, larches and hemlocks - not to be decorated just once a year, but to be everyday representatives of an ecological indicator of our region.
