Q Wilderness club . . . really roughs it K 36 11 il The Wilderness Club, in its second year of existence, found an uphill battle to the top. Cathy Kosis, club President, wasthe primary motivator behind gettingthe clubinfullgear, according to sponsor, Robert Mosier. Also helping to sponsor the club was Shelley Morrison. Members went on an adventure every month. Taking hikes anywhere from five to seventeen miles, the members fulfilled their passion for the great outdoors. The main outing ofthe year was a tripto New Braunfels duringspring break,wherethe members had the opportunity to hike and tube for three fun-filled days. The members also exper- ienced repelling for the first time. The sites, being totally primitive, did not offer bathroom or electrical facilities, so one had to really be imaginative to survive. Mosier felt the Wilderness Club helped to teach the members how to be self-sufficient and more aware of nature and how easily man can harm it. He also mentioned that being a member helped to build self-reliance and self-esteem. i , l 5 ' 4 1 I .
