Summer Globe -Trotters For many of us, summer means trips to the beach, trips to the river, and get- togethers with our friends. Summer '74 proved to be just as much fun as all the others for most of us. The Energy Shor- tage didn't keep us from taking trips. A few students had very unusual summers because of exciting out-of-town vaca- tions. One student was lucky enough to be a missionary on the beautiful Caribbean island of Haiti. Conventions seemed to keep quite a few students busy.
