  Caver gets nasty surprise
The rescue operation was slowed by Johnson's location in one of the deepest parts of the cave; one of the largest in the area, the cave includes 7,000 feet of surveyed passages.
Johnson was secured on a stretcher, wrapped in hot packs and taken down the mountain by snowmobiles, said Gumbs.
Johnson, who was exploring the cave with David Oaks and Hanna Schoch of Philadelphia and Thomas Oaks of Southbury, Conn., could not be reached for comment yesterday.

 Background
Professors Theodoratus and Johnson, from the Department of Anthropology, were also members of the CCAF and resigned along with several other individuals at the same time that Dr. Beeson departed and this ended the relationship between the Department of Anthropology and the CCAF.
Johnson was employed in this position throughout the duration of the Camanche Reservoir Project, which ultimately became his thesis topic (1966), until he began a Ph.D. program in Anthropology at the University of California at Davis in the Fall of 1965.
Johnson was the Principal Investigator and Dr. Dorothea Theodoratus was the Co-Principal Investigator for ethnographic and ethnohistorical studies, and she and Clinton Blount coordinated the participation of the Native American community in regard to the study.

 The Cave Turns 70
Matt Ryan '96, the Lentils' drummer, remembers the Cave when he first arrived at Carleton as "a classic-old-dingy-graffiti-on-walls cave." Despite a notoriously difficult PA system that has since been replaced, Ryan says the Lentils were still able to connect with their audience at that first performance.
In response to student complaints that the Cave previously showcased too much music of the same genre, current programming coordinator Nate Johnson is attempting to bring a more diverse group of musicians to campus, covering reggae, zydeco, jazz, funk, rock, and most things in between.
Though Johnson, a junior, is trying to secure some of the best music from the Twin Cities for Friday nights, he wants the Cave to remain a space for student performers on other nights of the week.

 Environmental Report
This report will focus on the Berry Cave Salamander because of its extreme rarity and because it is known to occur in caves that would be affected by the proposed road, but this should not be construed to imply that only this species is of biological importance.
Other potential sources of damage to salamander habitat include filling of cave passages with concrete, collapse of cave passages (either during of after construction), pollution from toxic runoff, and toxic chemical spills (which must be anticipated with a road of this nature)—all of which could harm the salamanders, either directly or by reducing their prey.
If endangered gray bats use the cave system, their habitat could be degraded by direct destruction of cave passages, alteration of air flow in the caves, and degradation of nearby foraging habitat.

 Boswell's Life of Johnson, 1738
Johnson's "London" was published in May, 1738;7 and it is remarkable, that it came out on the same morning with Pope's satire, entitled "1738;" so that England had at once its Juvenal and Horace as poetical monitors.
Johnson himself afterwards honestly acknowledged the merit of Walpole, whom he called "a fixed star;" while he characterised his opponent, Pitt, as "a meteor." But Johnson's juvenile poem was naturally impregnated with the fire of opposition, and upon every account was universally admired.
It was, perhaps, no small disappointment to Johnson that this respectable application had not the desired effect; yet how much reason has there been, both for himself and his country, to rejoice that it did not succeed, as he might probably have wasted in obscurity those hours in which he afterwards produced his incomparable works.

Cave Couts posted a sentinel to prevent anyone from approaching Rancho Guajome and his family was spared from the dreaded disease.
Cave Couts, Jr., second generation owner of Rancho Guajome, is a perfect example of California's "fantasy heritage." It was all there—a beautiful adobe ranch-house, a "visit" by Ramona, an orchard, vineyard, and cattle roaming the nearby hills.
Cave Johnson advised Polk in the 1844 presidential election and in return for his services was appointed Postmaster General on March 5, 1845, initiating such reforms as lower postal rates, prepayment of postage by the sender, the use of adhesive postage stamps, and a systematized mail service.
