Starting with Super Bowl Sunday, we supply goods for all holidays and for all reasons through winter, spring and summer, so when the fall rolls around, we are ready to REALLY get started! The result is a Halloween display that even WE have trouble believing.

"Our arboretum stands in sharp contrast to cement and the massive development that have destroyed it." So, with the blessings of the Pitzer Board of Trustees, Rodman has created a series of displays of California native plants, a manicured desert garden, an herb garden and a citrus grove in honor of Pitzer's founder, Russell Pitzer, who made his fortune growing citrus. A restored Craftsman -style house, where students and faculty can gather for lunch, coffee or espresso, serves as a formal focus of the arboretum. The arboretum accounts for nearly a fourth of Pitzer's tiny campus.

For Rodman, the real soul of the arboretum is the alluvial wash: "the outback," he calls it, some six acres of scrub where, during the 1950s and 1960s, a city dump was located. Rodman said the dump's contents were ordinary household trash and construction debris, which seem to pose no significant environmental threat today. On a recent day, as he slowly moved from plant to plant, Rodman, 57, illustrated how science, history and ecology intersect.

But Pitzer College professor John Rodman and his students are nurturing it toward its natural state, and in the process, they say they are learning about themselves, Southern California and the natural world. The project began not long after Rodman saw a bulldozer cut across the land to make a soccer field at neighboring Harvey Mudd College. Five years later, Rodman, with the help of Pitzer President Frank Ellsworth and a host of students and volunteers, has created an eight-acre environmental laboratory and arboretum out of what once was a junk-filled lot and former city dump. To Rodman, this suburban postage stamp of earth in the San Gabriel foothills represents "probably the most endangered ecosystem in Southern California" a place where chaparral and coastal sage scrub overlap in an alluvial wash.

The vegetation there is known as alluvial scrub. In Ellsworth, Rodman found a champion of the preservation cause. "In the 12 years I've been here, I have seen the native )ar. b.11 ings to vi cKiVandlegalPM may iruNS Advance I ChiW fare Lega i ALMOST EVERYTHING "FREE" man came to ecology via a Harvard education in politics and philosophy, and he spoke of the land and its plants as a living library. With a sturdy piece of straw he retrieved from the dust, Rodman poked a cottony speck on a prickly pear cactus.

A Mercurochrome-colored liquid oozed from the snowy fiber. "Look at the juices," he said. "The Indians, before the Spaniards, used them as natural dyes. Then Spaniards became big importers of it." Many people, he said, have no interest in plants, ecology or the science of environmental issues. "But if you tell them about how human beings use the plants or how the plants fit into a culture, these networks are more interesting than just botany." John Sax, a Pitzer senior, said he has made such connections by working with Rodman in the arboretum and by taking field trips to places such as the Mojave Desert.

"It gives me a feeling that I want to do' something and that the efforts won't be fruitless," said Sax, 22, of Boston. "You begin to see shades of life. You notice more the pieces of the vista and realize you're part of it too." Rodman and his students are in the process of restoring the scrub area by removing the non-native plants that disrupt the ecological balance.
