What is it like to search for a foreign comedy flick only to find you have just paid $4.50 for a porno movie? Maybe a trip to a museum isn ' t an expensive afternoon, but what if the cab driver doesn ' t under- stand English and drives 12 miles out of the way? The months agenda for the Europe trip included morning classes with tours in Madrid and Rome, an exciting train ride through the French Alps, a visit to Mt.

What better way to end the trip than five days in London to shop the wonderful open markets, and see the changing of the Guard at Buck- ingham Palace. During spring break 13 juniors tra- veled to New York and Washington on the United Nations lour. Participants tilled out applications in December and were chosen on the basis of their aca- demic achievements and extra curricu- lar activities.
