CLOSE si it is i7 , 'ff ' ,rifle il if ,.ifm..., IMI . . fab K l l , l This year, despite the lack of advertising, the Close Up trip to Washington D C was a complete success Four students Diona Cheng, Christina Gangnuss Cindy Gregersen, and Charlie Stuller went on the trip Each said that they had a wonderful time The trip was full of seminars, workshops, lectures, and discussion groups on such subjects as trade, budget, defense, and labor unions. Although very educational and fun there was too much information shoved into too little time. There were 1200 students on the trip during our week but only 200 were in our hotel. The major portion of these 200 drew very close to each other and'this made for an incredibly fun week. It was both a socially and educationally stimulating experience. l.

5176171 X TE It's four o'clock in the morning and Sunday. Why should anybody with common sense get up at that time of day? The answer is simple: Everybody likes to have great skiing with the ski club. Everybody likes to change clothes in the bus. Everybody likes to be the first in the lift line. Everbody likes to 'ski mogles until their knees feel like a worn out spring system in a Volkswagen bug. Everybody likes to ski in such a deep powder that they can barely breathe. Everybody likes to get tanned from the sun beating through the clear blue sky. Everybody likes to eat their lunch while their skies are stolen. Everybody likes to try that jump that everybody is always talking about, but from which no one walks away alive. Everybody likes to show off their new sunglasses. Everybody likes to see ten different ways of entering a lift incorrect- ly. Everybody likes to see Mr. Thiel trying to explain the rules ofthe day to a bunch of high school students. Everybody likes to throw themselves out for the steepest slope on the whole ski area realizing after awhile that a parachute would have been a good idea. Everybody likes to spend some days in a hospital. Everybody likes the taste ofa cool soft drink after of a day of skiing. Everbody likes to fall asleep on the bus on the way home. 1.
