APSU students visit United Nations and Statue of Liberty on spring break by Alice Spurgeon A group which 'included interested Austin Peay students, faculty and oth- ers departed from Nashville on March 15, to tour New York City as a part of an annual fine arts trek. Dr. Thayer Beach. an English professor, was the organizer of the trip. The Taft Hotel Uocated at 7th Ave. and 50th Streeti was where the group lodged during the visit. All were excited about looking around the Big Apple., as New York City is frequently called. Max Hochstetler and Olen Bryant planned many morning and early after- noon museum adventures which in- cluded the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Muse- um and Guggenheim. This provided leisure afternoons for shopping at Macy's and Saks' Fifth Ave. Other trips taken were to the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, Green- wich Village and Soho, a region of art galleries and lofts for many of New York's artists. ' The theatre plays attended by the group were Neil Simon's California Suite; Sly Fox, starring George C. Scott; The Cherry Orchard and A Cho- rus Line. The group reveled in the New York City night life, which swings to a different beat. Time went by too fast, but Saturday, March 19 came and the art and drama group departed after stuffing towels and ashtrays into suitcases for souve- nirs.

II have enjoyed my four years here and I am happy to say the education I received while working in the business department has been as worthwhile as the education I paid for.
