Students study government in Washington Three students traveled to Corona, and seventeen students traveled to Washington D.C. through travel programs. Irene Madsen from Denmark, Briony Lidstone from South Africa and Tuuli Suvanto from Finland, attended Corona through special programs. According to them, there are distinct differences between schools in their home countries and here. They all agreed that the schools here aren't as strict as their home schools. There they were uniforms, no make-up, no jewelry, everything is more strict, Briony said. According to Tuuli, the schools and teachers in Finland are more strict. There are no student- teacher relationships. In Denmark the social life is a lot different, Irene said. We don't date in Denmark. We go out in groups to dances and meet guys.

Sunrise staff utilizes VDT in production A video display terminal lVDTl was added to the newspaper class this year saving time and money and providing an educa- tional experience for journalism students. The VDT helps the staff cover events that are more current because they no longer have to send copy to the printer a week earlier to be set in type. The 37,000 computer saves the Sunrise S100 an issue. Last summer, several staff members attended the Arizona interscholastic Press Association lAlPAl workshop at Northern Arizona University. Other con- ventions students attended in- cluded the AIPA fall convention at Central Arizona College and the Journalism Education Association meeting in San Francisco.
