WALES ne International study op- tion Drake students choose is the Wales pro- gram, offered through Central College in Pella, Iowa. Students live in resident hall dorms in Car- marthen, Wales and attend Trin- ity College. The basic require- ments include a course in Welsh study and language, basic Liberal Arts classes and special options courses are offered to American students. Popular among those choosing Trinity is the one week field trip to the Soviet Union. Since the Fall academic calendar is out-of-sync with Dral4e's schedule tmid-Septemberfmid- lfebruaryj many choose to study at Trinity in the Spring or for an entire year. The cost for one se- mester is S550000 and 510,200.00 for two semesters. CliffIV1Qf1IOVeCASL1D . 3 - 5 ff ,.- so k I 1 5 .K v XA ik l i L X X, ventures X-...ff Winnie Sptim. Every thin!

Before lunch at 2:00, you go to the bar for a juice-size glass of beer and an appetizer. Perhaps a tapa of french fries or potato salad. After lunch, you go to the bar for a cafe con leche to relax after eating such a huge meal. At 5:00 you go to the bar for a couple more beers and tapas. And once again, after a late dinner, you guessed it . . . you go back to the bar, but this time in search of something other than fried potatoes. Anything goes in a Spanish bar on a steamy evening. -.Iulie Naughton fAS4J

FRANCE For students who would like to broaden their horizons, a semes- ter or year spent studying abroad with one of the international studies programs offered by Drake is an attractive option. Most students go abroad during their sophomore year after their basic requirements for their ma- jors are fullfilled. The Central College Program, with study cen- ters in Wales, London, Holland, Austria, Spain and France is a popular program. The following are thoughts from students who studied overseas, like Kim Cramer, who studied in France, and from Jose, who lives in Spain and is a foreign exchange student. , , -. 6, e .- G 'rr GALLERY KRASKIN AQT EXPO Internati nal 5555 3 Itt xi. so I Q. as z V v HY X it S , X is it X X X X X U.S.A. ola!

I decided to study abroad, and chose Drake because my family had some friends in northern Iowa. When I first got to the U.5.A., a few things shocked me and my fam- ily: My father almost fainted when he saw a 14 year-old drive a carp It seems that people drink more when they are restricted by laws than in Spain, where every- one can drink, at least at home: Lastly, eating dinner at 5:00 p.m. seems strange - my family never eats before 10:00 p.m. - Jose Fer- nandez-Vidal, QBAZJ.

rake Campus Ministries worked to involve stu- dents within the spiritual as well as the academic arena of Drake University. Campus Ministries wanted stu- dents to feel that no matter what religion they practiced, they were all compatible and could work to- gether. Therefore, in 1987-88 the Campus Ministries began the year with an interdenominational pig roast, where they picked a re- presentative from each faith to be a member of the Euchimenical Council. This group met twice a month to plan social and religious activities and to help with the Ministerie's projects. Une of these projects was the Hunger Hurts Awareness Pro- gram. Por each student who had a meal card punched but did not eat, Hubbel gave the dollar amount of that meal to the Hun- Faith and Fellowship: ger Hurts Campaign. Over 300 people participated, and the pro- ject accumulated more than 551,000 cash and other contributions. Another outgrowth of the Eu- chimenical Council was the wor- ship services held in Olmsted. Each Wednesday, one of the min- isters gave the message, and stu- dents held scripture readings and performed musical arrangements. Although it took a while for stu- dents to get acclimated to the idea, there was a good turnout at many of the services. Campus Ministeries was also very active during the Christmas holiday and semester exam times. Holiday workshops took place in many of the residence halls. The ministers themselves were the ex- perts and taught students how to create stained glass or how to make stuffed animals. lt was really fun for us. We had the
