From To Sh JK only does Hellgate attract students from all over Missoula, but from all over the world. Those countries represented by our exchange students this year are Brazil, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. Junior Renata Maziero from Brazil, feels that America makes too much out of the drinking age, and the laws pertaining to alcohol. Karsten Tams and Udo Buschle from Germany love skiing. Both of them love America and are excited about Hellgate. Buschle commented, “I love this country.” Kim Hansen from Denmark thinks we are to lenient on freshmen. In our country, we welcome new students with eggs and water, not handshakes.” But he loves living here and since he's seen all of Europe, America is a nice change. Our last exchange student Mette Hausken, from a small town in Nor- way, Says Missoula is a change. She likes aerobics and karate, and she loves skiing! Mette is staying with senior Teri Allendorf and they have a rather 'sisterly' relationship. They have different interests and friends, but they still enjoy being together. Q Exchange Students O Honors
