Nomad fra ver e Europe Russfh Have you ever been offered S75 for a pair of old blue jeans? When was the last time you talked to a Russian scientist who worked in a polytechnical institute? Has anyone offered you a communist summer camp achievement pin in exchange for a piece of bubble gum? These experiences plus many oth- ers happened to seniors Ellen Bishop, Tookie Hollingsworth and Matt Orwig. The three Coronado students, along with four CHS grads and other youth from West Texas, participated in the People to People tour of Northern Europe and Russia. The group left Lubbock june 26 for Washington, D. C. They left the nation's capital june 29, flying di- rect to Moscow. ln Russia they had many harrowing experiences. Matt reported that some of the people from this area were offered 50 rubles for their Levi's. They could get 50 rubles easily ...prob- ably more, Matt said. Fifty rubles is equivalent to approximately S75 in U. S. currency. Loaded with summer camp achieve- ment pins, young people from the city would approach the visitors asking for gum to trade. For the larger medals, Ellen said they would say, . . .two chew gum. A different kind of excitement was in store for Tookie.

For their july 4th celebration, the group from the Lone Star State viewed Leninls tomb in Moscow. An- other attraction inthe Communist country was a huge national ceme- tery similar to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington. In this cemetery, which honors the Russian war dead, music plays from the trees, and many eternal flames burn. Mass graves were ever present in this graveyard that honors more than 500,000 victims of war. Other countries visited by the nomads were England, Austria, France, West Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Denmark. Ellen and Matt thought that the Danes were the most attractive, how- ever, Tookie thought the Swiss were the prettiest. All agreed that Swit- zerland was the most beautiful of the countries visited. As an additional note, the trav- elers said that Paris was not exact- ly what was expected. They de- scribed the fashion center of the world as dirty, filthy. It was over T00 degrees the day the visitors were there, the highest temperature in T50 years. Matt said the trip was . . .oodles and oodles of fun!
