O'BRIEN NAMED HEAD OF BU AMC CHAPTER

(Boston, Mass.) - WBUR news anchor Ted O'Brien has been  named faculty advisor and honorary president of the Boston  University Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club.  Mr. O'Brien,  a famed hiker, accepted the nomination upon his recent return from  New Hampshire.
"I'm deeply honored." Mr. O'Brien said.  "Of course, I must  add that it's quite humbling to realize that your highest calling is to  serve as an example to others."
Mr. O'Brien said that his first act as head of the BU AMC  chapter would be to change the club's motto to "Ubi edepol terrarum  sum?", from the Latin for "Where the Hell am I?"
In another development, Mr. O'Brien has been appointed to the  faculty of the Department of Geography in the College of Arts and  Sciences.  He will teach a course on the topography of the White  Mountains, beginning this week.  "This man eats, sleeps, drinks and  walks the White Mountains," said Dr. David Livingstone, chair of the  Geography Department.  "We want him to start teaching right away,  while it's fresh in his mind, and before he wanders off again."
Finally, WBUR station manager Jane Christo has named Mr.  O'Brien executive producer of the station's latest project, "Survivor -  The Radio Edition."
